We qu…
Evaluating the Sustainability of School-Based Health Centers

Minorities are significantly underrepresented in the U.S. physician workforce. Female minorities wishing to become doctors face additional gender barriers, since women who enter college with the desire of becoming physicians are more likely than men to exit programs of undergraduate studies (“premed studies”) that lead to medical school. To explore the factors that may cause minority women to lose interest in a medical career, in-depth one-to-one…

Ethics in Public Health Research: A Research Protocol to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Public–Private Partnerships as a Means to Improve Health and Welfare Systems Worldwide
Public–private partnerships have become a common approach to health care problems worldwide. Many public–private partnerships were created during the late 1990s, but most were focused on specific diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Recently there has been enthusiasm for using public–private partnerships to improve the delivery of health and welfare services for a wider range of health problems, especially in developing countries…

Gender and Professional Purity: Explaining Formal and Informal Work Rewards for Physicians in Estonia
How does gender affect work rewards for professionals in a state-run economy? Using surveys from physicians in Estonia in 1991, the authors first found that the gender of the physician did not affect the level of formal rewards. However, because the state allocated formal rewards on the basis of professional purity, which was negatively correlated with feminization, specialties that had the greatest proportion of women also had the lowest formal …
Strategic Management or Environmental Change: Which Determines Success in Health Care Organizations
It is often difficult in complex organizational systems for managers to attribute accurately changes in organizational performance to changes in management strategy. In this case study of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Health Care System, managers attributed improvement in patient enrollment to strategic action taken earlier to improve patient satisfaction. Empirical data demonstrate that changes in patient enrollment were actually due…

METHODS. The study analyzes data gathered from a survey of 20% of the physicians in Estonia. It measures the frequencies of pertinent personal and occupational factors, and uses multivariate analysis to explore relationshi…
