Associations of walkability, regional and transit accessibility around home and workplace with active and sedentary travel
Pathways from Built Environment to Health Care Costs
Evidence connecting health care expenditures with physical activity and built environment is rare. We examined how detailed urban form relates to mode specific moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and health care costs—controlling for transit access, residential choices/preferences, sociodemographic factors. We harness high resolution data for 476 participants in the Rails and Health study on health care costs, mode specific MVPA, parcel…
Dietary Patterns with Healthy and Unhealthy Traits Among Overweight/Obese Hispanic Women with or at High Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
School‐Level Factors Associated with Sun Protection Practices in California Elementary Schools
BACKGROUND: This study examined implementation of district sun safety policy in schools and tested correlates of implementation in California public school districts. METHODS: Principals (N = 118) and teachers (N = 113) in California public elementary schools (N = 118) were recruited and completed a survey on sun protection policies and practices. The sample contained schools whose districts subscribed to the California School Boards Association …
The Health and economic effects of light rail lines
The results of the Rails & Health study will provide urban planners, transportation engineers, health practitioners, developers, and decision makers with critical information needed to document how transit investments impact population health and related costs
High Prevalence of Undiagnosed Hyperglycemia in Low-Income Overweight and Obese Hispanic Women in Oregon
La atención primaria en los Estados Unidos y la experiencia peruana en perspectiva
Due to a complex payment system, the health system of the United States is fragmented, expensive, and achieves the goal of improving the health of the entire population. Excessive health costs increase the budget deficit in the US. This situation makes to the government to have greater willingness to try new approaches in the delivery of health services. Is well know that the states that have a solid system of primary health care (PC), spent less…
Comparison of 4 Recruiting Strategies in a Smoking Cessation Trial
Online ads and off-line materials were most effective and cost-effective methods
Family-level cost-effectiveness analysis
Is a family equal to the sum of its parts? Estimating family-level well-being for cost-effectiveness analysis
Risk Adjustment Using Automated Ambulatory Pharmacy Data
OBJECTIVES: Develop and estimate the RxRisk model, a risk assessment instrument that uses automated ambulatory pharmacy data to identify chronic conditions and predict future health care cost. The RxRisk model's performance in predicting cost is compared with a demographic-only model, the Ambulatory Clinical Groups (ACG), and Hierarchical Coexisting Conditions (HCC) ICD-9-CM diagnosis-based risk assessment instruments. Each model's power to forec…
Using Risk-Adjustment Models to Identify High-Cost Risks
BACKGROUND: We examine the ability of various publicly available risk models to identify high-cost individuals and enrollee groups using multi-HMO administrative data. METHODS: Five risk-adjustment models (the Global Risk-Adjustment Model [GRAM], Diagnostic Cost Groups [DCGs], Adjusted Clinical Groups [ACGs], RxRisk, and Prior-expense) were estimated on a multi-HMO administrative data set of 1.5 million individual-level observations for 1995-1996…
Surveying Physicians
BACKGROUND: Surveys serve essential roles in clinical epidemiology and health services research. However, physician surveys frequently encounter problems achieving adequate response rates. Research on enhancing response rates to surveys of the general public has led to the development of Dillman's "Total Design Approach" to the design and conduct of surveys. The impact of this approach on response rates among physicians is uncertain. OBJECTIVE: T…
The Sensitivity and Specificity of Forecasting High-Cost Users of Medical Care
OBJECTIVES: This study compares the ability of 3 risk-assessment models to distinguish high and low expense-risk status within a managed care population. Models are the Global Risk-Assessment Model (GRAM) developed at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research; a logistic version of GRAM; and a prior-expense model. GRAM was originally developed for use in adjusting Medicare payments to health plans. METHODS: Our sample of 98,985 cases was d…
Cost-Effectiveness of a Hospital-Based Smoking Cessation Intervention
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a smoking cessation and relapse-prevention program for hospitalized adult smokers from the perspective of an implementing hospital. It is an economic analysis of a two-group, controlled clinical trial in two acute care hospitals owned by a large group-model health maintenance organization. The intervention included a 20-minute bedside counseling session with an experienced health counselo…
