The purpose of this study was to investigate Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) and Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII TM ) scores in women's cancer survivors and to examine socio-economic (SES) characteristics associated with these two diet indices. In this cross-sectional study, survivors of women's cancers completed a demographic questionnaire and up to three 24-h dietary recalls. HEI-2015 and E-DII scores were calculated from…
A Multilevel Approach to Understand the Context and Potential Solutions for Low Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Rates in Rural Appalachia Clinics
PURPOSE: To explore system/staff- and patient-level opportunities to improve colorectal cancer (CRC) screening within an 11-clinic Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in rural Appalachia with CRC screening rates around 22%-30%. METHODS: Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, staff (n = 26) and patients (n = 60, age 50-75, 67% female, 83% <college, 47% Medicare, 23% Medicaid) were interviewed about CRC-related screening practices. …
Spatial analysis of colorectal cancer outcomes and socioeconomic factors in Virginia
Rurality, low SES, and racial distribution were important predictors of CRC incidence, mortality, and MIR. Regions with concentrations of one or more factors of disparities face additional hurdles to improving CRC outcomes. A large cluster of high MIR in southwest Virginia region requires further investigation to improve early cancer detection and support survivorship. Spatial analysis can identify high-disparity populations and be used to inform…
Known-groups validity and responsiveness to change of the Patient Experience with Treatment and Self-management (Pets vs. 2.0)
An Evaluation of the Process and Quality Improvement Measures of the University of Virginia Cancer Center Tobacco Treatment Program
Tobacco use after a cancer diagnosis can increase risk of disease recurrence, increase the likelihood of a second primary cancer, and negatively impact treatment efficacy. The implementation of system-wide comprehensive tobacco cessation in the oncology setting has historically been low, with over half of cancer clinicians reporting that they do not treat or provide a referral to cessation resources. This quality improvement study evaluated the p…
Employment changes among Chinese family caregivers of long-term cancer survivors
Care for cancer patients in both primary- and post- treatment phases may have substantial impacts on hours of formal employment of Chinese FCGs. Interventions helping FCGs balance caregiving duties with labor force work are warranted
The Effects of Hospital Characteristics on Delays in Breast Cancer Diagnosis in Appalachian Communities
PURPOSE: Despite being generally accepted that delays in diagnosing breast cancer are of prognostic and psychological concern, the influence of hospital characteristics on such delays remains poorly understood, especially in rural and underserved areas. However, hospital characteristics have been tied to greater efficiency and warrant further investigation as they may have implications for breast cancer care in these areas. METHODS: Study data we…
Disparities in the Use of Diabetes Screening in Appalachia
PURPOSE: The Appalachian region presents disproportionately high rates of chronic disease compared to the rest of the United States. Early diagnosis of diabetes through screening is an important step in reducing diabetes complications. This study examines disparities in the use of diabetes screening in Appalachia. METHODS: We analyzed 2009 and 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data for 96,111 adults aged ≥45 years from 11 Appalachia…

Receipt of Regular Primary Care and Early Cancer Detection in Appalachia
PURPOSE: The objective was to examine the impact of regular primary care encounters (PCE) on early breast cancer detection in an Appalachian sample of Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed 2006-2008. Determinants of PCE were investigated and a mediation analysis was conducted where PCE was a mediator to cancer stage. METHODS: A total of 3,589 cases were identified from Appalachian areas in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, and North Carolina, and health c…
Predicting Late-stage Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Receipt of Adjuvant Therapy
PURPOSE: The 2-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method of measuring access to care has never been used to study cancer disparities in Appalachia. First, we evaluated the 2SFCA method in relation to traditional methods. We then examined the impact of access to mammography centers and primary care on late-stage breast cancer diagnosis and receipt of adjuvant hormonal therapy. METHODS: Cancer registries from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and Nor…
Does Rurality Influence Treatment Decisions in Early Stage Laryngeal Cancer
PURPOSE: The mortality rate of laryngeal cancer has been trending downward with the use of more effective surgical, radiation, and systemic therapies. Although the best treatment for this disease is not entirely clear, there is a growing consensus on the value of primary radiotherapy as an organ preservation strategy. This study examines urban-rural differences in the use of radiotherapy as the primary treatment for early stage laryngeal cancer i…

The Timing of Change
Data from the Longitudinal Study on Aging (LSOA) were analyzed to describe the heterogeneity of functional status transitions over 2-years (single-state model), and to explore whether changes in status in the previous two to four year period enhance the prediction of a subsequent transition (two-state model). Multivariate logistic regression with a robust estimate of variance was used to analyze a 7-category nominal response of: functional status…
Rural and Urban Differences in Mortality Among Americans 55 Years and Older
Previous research on rural and urban differences in risk of mortality has been inconclusive. This article used data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study to establish whether all‐cause mortality risk among persons 55 years and older varies by degree of urbanization, controlling for the potential sociodemographic confounders of age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, income, and marital status. Using the Cox Proportional Hazards Regressio…
Mortality Effects of Community Socioeconomic Status
We linked data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study to census tract information on 239,187 persons to assess 11-year mortality risk among black and white women and women associated with median census tract income, adjusted for individual family income from the Current Population Survey. We stratified Cox proportional hazards models by ages 25-64 years and 65 years and older. We used a robust covariance matrix to obtain standard errors f…
Benefits of Linkage to the National Death Index in the Longitudinal Study of Aging
To reduce the potential bias resulting from differential loss to follow-up in the Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA), information obtained from household contact methods was supplemented with information from the National Death Index (NDI). This article examines the degree of agreement in the vital status data from two sources (reinterview contacts and the NDI system) and evaluates the potential gains of using the NDI data as a supplement to defi…
