What Motivates You to Share? The Effect of Interactive Tailored Information Aids on Information Sharing about Clinical Trials
Cancer patients learn about research studies outside of the clinical environment, including websites, print and online advertisements, and interpersonal interactions. When cancer patients share credible information about clinical trials, they also frequently help clarify misunderstandings that may exist in their social networks. The present study investigated how an interactive tailored information aid on clinical trial participation motivated pa…
Acceptability of a Rinse Screening Test for Diagnosing Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Among Black Americans
HPV Knowledge and Vaccine Acceptability Among Hispanic Fathers
Developing an Urban Community–Campus Partnership
Understanding the organizational dynamics of a community is necessary for developing a CBPR model that will be effective in that community. Once established, it can help to inform future collaborations
Health-Related Quality of Life and Nicotine Dependence, Florida 2007
The consequences of long-term smoking, and thus nicotine dependence, may not be confined to traditional morbidity measures but may include poor perceived health and overall well-being
Effect of Using Information From Only One System for Dually Eligible Health Care Users
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether all diagnoses and total illness burden of patients who use both the VA and Medicare health care systems can be obtained from examination of data from only one of these systems. METHODS: Cohorts included all age-eligible Medicare users who also used the VA health care system in fiscal years 2000-2002 but were not enrolled in a Medicare HMO. Relative risk scores (RRS; a measure of illness burden developed b…
Valuation of Arthritis Health States Across Ethnic Groups and Between Patients and Community Members
OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine differences in valuation of health by individuals from different ethnic backgrounds and between patients and community members. RESEARCH DESIGN: We surveyed 193 community members identified by random-digit dialing (ie, 64 white, 65 black, and 64 Hispanic) and 198 patients with osteoarthritis (OA), 66 per ethnic group, drawn sequentially from clinic lists of an outpatient institution. MEASURES: Participants were int…
A psychometric analysis of the measurement level of the rating scale, time trade-off, and standard gamble
A Trial for Comparing Methods for Eliciting Treatment Preferences From Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the convergent validity of 3 types of utility measures: standard gamble, time tradeoff, and rating scale. RESEARCH DESIGN: A prospective cohort of 120 men with advanced prostate cancer were first asked to rank order 8 health states, and then utility values were obtained from each participant for each of the 8 health states through 2 of the 3 techniques evaluated (standard gamble, time tradeof…
Assessing the Performance of Utility Techniques in the Absence of a Gold Standard
BACKGROUND: Utility techniques are the most commonly used means to assess patient preferences for health outcomes. However, whether utility techniques produce valid measures of preference has been difficult to determine in the absence of a gold standard. OBJECTIVE: To introduce and demonstrate two methods that can be used to evaluate how well utility techniques measure patients' preferences. SUBJECTS AND DESIGN: Patients treated for advanced pros…
Is growth a dirty word? Pollution, abatement and endogenous growth
The Effect of Referral and Transfer Patients on Hospital Funding in a Capitated Health Care Delivery System
OBJECTIVES: (1) To investigate whether inpatients referred or transferred between facilities result in increased financial loss compared with those admitted directly, in a health care delivery system funded by capitation methods. (2) To determine whether the higher cost of those patients transferred or referred is fairly compensated by a diagnosis-based risk adjustment system, and whether tertiary care facilities bear an unfair financial burden f…
