AI-Enhanced Rural Medical Education
Persistent geographic and specialty-based disparities in health care workforce distribution have created critical gaps in rural health care access, resulting in disproportionate morbidity and mortality in underserved communities. This commentary examines how strategically implemented artificial intelligence (AI)–based technologies can facilitate the development of competent, community-oriented physicians capable of delivering high-quality care in…
The frequencies and disparities of adverse childhood experiences in the U.S
Findings highlight that childhood adversity is common across sociodemographic, yet higher in certain categories. Identifying at-risk populations for higher ACEs is essential to improving the health outcomes and attainment across the lifespan
Outness amplifies the negative effect of gay related rejection in rural, but not urban sexual minority men
Sexual minority men have consistently shown to be at-risk for adverse mental health outcomes due to minority stress, yet studies show some men successfully navigate these barriers. What is less known are the environmental and social/emotional factors to which minority stress is amplified (or attenuated). We comparatively investigate rural versus urban sexual minority men and how levels of ‘outness’ (the degree to which an individual discloses the…
The Role of State Medicaid Expansions in Integrating Comprehensive Mental Health Services into Opioid Treatment Programs
Factors Associated with Condom Use among a Sample of Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) Residing in Rural Oklahoma
Public health literature often neglects populations from rural communities, particularly with men who have sex with men (MSM). Although HIV/STI infections are decreasing slightly, there is an increase within rural MSM, thus opening the door for further research on condom use behavior in a rural context. In-depth interviews were conducted with 40 MSM in rural Oklahoma regarding their condom use and sexual behaviors. A qualitative analysis revealed…
Experiences of Stigma by Gay and Bisexual Men in Rural Oklahoma
Purpose: The unique experiences of men who have sex with men (MSM) residing in culturally conservative rural areas are not well represented in the scientific literature. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in the United States has shifted toward rural areas where populations are dispersed and health care resources are limited. Methods: We recruited 40 sexual minority men, ages 22–66, residing in rural Oklahoma for in-depth, qualitativ…
Navigating disclosure of sexual minority identity for men in socio-politically conservative areas
Previous models of sexual minority orientation identity development have theorized disclosure of current orientation as important in accepting one’s sexual minority identity. Furthermore, research into disclosure of sexual orientation highlights positive outcomes for disclosure and negative outcomes for concealment of sexual minority identity. These models, however, fail to incorporate the socio-cultural context of the individual. Using a grounde…
A comparative analysis of rural and urban MSM depressive symptomology
Given the dearth of research exploring mental health differences between rural and urban men who have sex with men (MSM), we sought to examine differences in depressive symptomology and loneliness. Concurrently we examined the mediating effects of loneliness on the link between geographic locale and depressive symptoms via a mediation model. Data were collected from 156 MSM in Oklahoma. Results show urban MSM have significantly higher levels of b…
Mediterranean Diet Adherence in Cardiac Patients
Objective We analyzed the constructs of social cognitive theory that explain adherence to the Mediterranean diet in patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Methods A cross-sectional study of 337 cardiac patients using a validated questionnaire was conducted and analyzed at an outpatient cardiology clinic, employing social cognitive theory (SCT) as the theoretical framework. Results Dietary adherence was associated with statistically signi…
What Can the National Broadband Map Tell Us About the Health Care Connectivity Gap
PURPOSE: Internet connection speeds are generally slower in rural areas, and this issue is rising in importance for health care facilities as technologies such as Electronic Health Records and Health Information Exchanges become more common. However, the extent of the rural-urban divide in terms of health care connectivity has not been fully quantified. This report uses data compiled from the National Broadband Map (NBM) to compare levels of heal…
A Reliability Generalization Meta-Analysis of Coefficient Alpha for the Maslach Burnout Inventory
The purpose of this study was to synthesize internal consistency reliability for the subscale scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The authors addressed three research questions: (a) What is the mean subscale score reliability for the MBI across studies? (b) What factors are associated with observed variance in MBI subscale score reliability? (c) What are the implications for appropriate use based on MBI subscale mean internal consisten…
Factor Structure of Scores From the Maslach Burnout Inventory
This study provides a summary of 45 exploratory and confirmatory factor-analytic studies that examined the internal structure of scores obtained from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). It highlights characteristics of the studies that account for differences in reporting of the MBI factor structure. This approach includes an examination of the various sample characteristics, forms of the instrument, factor-analytic methods, and the reported fac…
