Psychometric validation of ERA-12 and aging expectations among PLHIV in Kazakhstan
Background With longer life expectancy due to antiretroviral therapy, people living with HIV (PLHIV) face age-related conditions and psychosocial challenges that influence their perceptions of aging. Yet, no study has examined aging expectations in Kazakhstan or the broader Central Asian region, particularly among PLHIV. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Russian version of the 12-item Expectations Regarding Aging (R-ER…
Time-Varying Path-Specific Direct and Indirect Effects
Behavioral processes are often complex, and vary over time, requiring intensive longitudinal data to effectively capture the dynamic elements involved. For example, examining daily socio-behavioral and treatment adherence data collected during a smoking quit attempt, can reveal how, when, and why withdrawal symptoms change, offering insight into critical windows of relapse-risk in the cessation process. However, analytical methods (e.g., time-var…
Tracking the burden, distribution, and impact of Post-Covid conditions in diverse populations for children, adolescents, and adults (Track PCC)
These data can help identify which groups are most affected by PCC, and what health differences among demographic groups exist, as well as indicate potential barriers to care. These additional levels of granularity can inform public health action and help direct needed clinical care for patients
Organ Donation Willingness Among Asian Americans
Metabolic Risk and Depression among Elderly Mexican Americans
The findings highlight the importance of age at migration when evaluating the health of foreign-born Mexican Americans from a life-course perspective. Particularly among Mexican Americans who migrated before age 20, those with MR were more vulnerable to depression than their counterparts without MR
Muslim–Non-Muslim Locational Attainment in Philadelphia
This study examines Muslim–non-Muslim disparities in locational attainment. We pool data from the 2004, 2006, and 2008 waves of the Public Health Management Corporation’s Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Survey. These data contain respondents’ religious identities and are geocoded at the census-tract level, allowing us to merge American Community Survey data and examine neighborhood-level outcomes to gauge respondents’ locational attainment. N…
Lifecourse Socioeconomic Position and Racial Disparities in BMI Trajectories Among Black and White Women
Associations between race, lifecourse socioeconomic position and prevalence of diabetes among US women and men
Racial disparities in diabetes existed among both men and women, but lifecourse SEP was related to diabetes only among women. The pathway and cumulative hypotheses for lifecourse SEP effects on diabetes may be especially salient for women
Access to Care and Use of Preventive Services by Hispanics
BACKGROUND: State-level disparities in access to physicians and preventive services between Hispanics and whites may have changed over time. OBJECTIVE: To assess state-based changes in Hispanics' access to physicians and preventive services from 1991 to 2004. METHODS: Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in the 10 states with the largest Hispanic populations, we examined 4 preventive services for eligible adults (mammogr…
State Policy Environment and Delayed or Forgone Care Among Children with Special Health Care Needs
Unmet Need among Children with Special Health Care Needs in Massachusetts
Profiling Providers on Use of Adjuvant Chemotherapy by Combining Cancer Registry and Medical Record Data
PURPOSE: Treatment information collected by cancer registries can be used to monitor the provision of guideline-recommended chemotherapy to colorectal cancer patients. Incomplete information may bias comparisons of these rates. We developed statistical methods that combine data from a registry and physicians' records to assess hospital quality. DATA: From California Cancer Registry data, we selected all patients (n=12,594) newly diagnosed with st…
