Gender differences in attitudes impeding colorectal cancer screening
Marked differences were observed in obstructive CRCS attitudes per gender. Females articulated reservations about CRCS-associated distress and males suppressed negative views while ambiguously procrastinating about the task of completing screening. Future interventions could seek to reduce CRCS-related stress (females) and address the need to overcome procrastination (males)

Rates of Complete Colonic Evaluation After Incomplete Colonoscopy and Their Associated Factors
BACKGROUND: With the increasing use of colonoscopy there is growing concern about the quality of these procedures. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the rates of complete colonic evaluation after an incomplete colonoscopy and their associated factors. METHODS: Men and women > or =50 years old living in Ontario on January 1, 1997 who did not have a prior history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or colonic resection comprised the inception co…
Retention in Care
BACKGROUND: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection need lifelong medical care, but many do not remain in care. The effect of poor retention in care on survival is not known, and we sought to quantify that relationship. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving persons newly identified as having HIV infection during 1997-1998 at any United States Department of Veterans Affairs hospital or clinic who started a…
Estimating the impact of alcohol consumption on survival for HIV+ individuals
Alcohol consumption is associated with decreased antiretroviral adherence, and decreased adherence results in poorer outcomes. However the magnitude of alcohol's impact on survival is unknown. Our objective was to use a calibrated and validated simulation of HIV disease to estimate the impact of alcohol on survival. We incorporated clinical data describing the temporal and dose-response relationships between alcohol consumption and adherence in a…
Associations Between Alcohol Use and Homelessness With Healthcare Utilization Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Veterans
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use is a frequent root cause of homelessness, and both homelessness and alcohol use influence the quality and quantity of interactions with health care providers. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study are to compare rates of homelessness and alcohol use in a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons and to evaluate the influence of homelessness and alcohol use on utilization of health services. RESEARCH D…
Medical Disease and Alcohol Use Among Veterans With Human Immunodeficiency Infection
BACKGROUND: Many people with human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection drink alcohol. We asked whether level of exposure to alcohol is associated with medical disease in a linear or nonlinear manner, whether the association depends upon the proximity of alcohol use, and whether it varies by source used to measure disease (chart review vs. ICD-9 Diagnostic Codes). METHODS: The Veterans Aging 3 Site Cohort Study (VACS 3) enrolled 881 veterans, 86% of …
Understanding Racial Disparities in HIV Using Data From the Veterans Aging Cohort 3-Site Study and VA Administrative Data
Objectives. We identified race-associated differences in survival among HIV-positive US veterans to examine possible etiologies for these differences. Methods. We used national administrative data to compare survival by race and used data from the Veterans Aging Cohort 3-Site Study (VACS 3) to compare patients’ health status, clinical management, and adherence to medication by race. Results. Nationally, minority veterans had higher mortality rate…
Development and validation of a self-completed HIV symptom index
Clinical Importance of Provider-Reported HIV Symptoms Compared With Patient-Report
BACKGROUND: Although the patient experiences the symptoms, only symptoms that providers recognize and report "count" in most clinical and research settings. Reliance upon provider-report has been justified by the claim that providers report only "clinically important" symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether provider-reported symptoms constitute a more "clinically important" subset of patient-reported symptoms in HIV infection. DESIGN: Secondary…
How Good Are US Studies of HIV Costs of Care
BACKGROUND: Valid, timely estimates of the costs of HIV care are needed by health planners and policy makers. OBJECTIVE: To perform a methodologic critique of published estimates of resource utilization and costs of HIV care. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE database for 1990-1998. DATA SELECTION: Included articles focused on adults with a spectrum of HIV disease in which the authors developed their own resource use and cost data. Thirty one articles met th…
