  • Neurorights in question

    Jennifer Blumenthal‐Barby, Jennifer Blumenthal-Barby et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2024

    The idea of a ‘right to mental integrity’, sometimes referred to as a ‘right against mental interference,’ is a relatively new concept in bioethics, making its way into debates about neurotechnological advances and the establishment of ‘neurorights.’ In this paper, we interrogate the idea of a right to mental integrity. First, we argue that some experts define the right to mental integrity so broadly that rights violations become ubiquitous, ther…

  • Limited Evidence of Shared Decision Making for Prostate Cancer Screening in Audio-Recorded Primary Care Visits Among Black Men and their Healthcare Providers

    Open AccessElizabeth R Stevens, Jerry R Thomas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2024

    Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based prostate cancer screening is a preference-sensitive decision for which experts recommend a shared decision making (SDM) approach. This study aimed to examine PSA screening SDM in primary care. Methods included qualitative analysis of audio-recorded patient-provider interactions supplemented by quantitative description. Participants included 5 clinic providers and 13 patients who were: (1) 40-69 years old, (2)…

  • Payment of Covid-19 challenge trials

    Open AccessJennifer Blumenthal‐Barby, Jennifer Blumenthal-Barby et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021

    One way to test vaccines is through human challenge trials in which participants are intentionally infected with a contagious organism to expedite the process of assessing the vaccine’s effectiveness. Some experts believe challenge trials may play an important role in fighting COVID-19, especially if the vaccines under current study do not demonstrate sufficient efficacy, if spread of COVID-19 is controlled to a point that radically slows down tr…

  • Financial Pollution in the US Health Care System

    Open AccessAnita K Wagner, Peter A Ubel et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2021

    Wasteful health care spending results from low-value care, undertreatment, pricing failures, fraud, and administrative complexity. 1 Such spending costs US residents between $760 billion and $935 billion each year 1 and harms populations through burdensome health insurance prices and taxes

  • Why It's Not Time for Health Care Rationing

    Open AccessPeter A UbelARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2015

    In the last few years, the U.S. health care system has seemingly been gripped by “back to the nineties” fever. But there is a notable change in professional debates about how to better control health care costs. Discussion of health care rationing, which was hotly debated in the nineties, has become much more muted. Is health care rationing passé? I contend that debates about health care rationing have waned not because the need to ration has dwi…

  • Patient–physician communication about early stage prostate cancer

    Open AccessStephen G Henry, Danielle Czarnecki et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2015

    BACKGROUND: We know little about patient-physician communication during visits to discuss diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. OBJECTIVE: To examine the overall visit structure and how patients and physicians transition between communication activities during visits in which patients received new prostate cancer diagnoses. PARTICIPANTS: Forty veterans and 18 urologists at one VA medical centre. METHODS: We coded 40 transcripts to identify …

  • How many calories are in my burrito?’ Improving consumers’ understanding of energy (calorie) range information

    Open AccessPeggy J Liu, James R Bettman et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2015

    Objective Energy (calorie) ranges currently appear on menu boards for customized menu items and will likely appear throughout the USA when menu-labelling legislation is implemented. Consumer welfare advocates have questioned whether energy ranges enable accurate energy estimates. In four studies, we examined: (i) whether energy range information improves energy estimation accuracy; (ii) whether misestimates persist because consumers misinterpret …

  • The role of perceived benefits and costs in patients’ medical decisions

    Open AccessEleanor Singer, Mick P Couper et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2014

    Background Many decisions can be understood in terms of actors’ valuations of benefits and costs. The article investigates whether this is also true of patient medical decision making. It aims to investigate (i) the importance patients attach to various reasons for and against nine medical decisions; (ii) how well the importance attached to benefits and costs predicts action or inaction; and (iii) how such valuations are related to decision confi…

  • Too much experience

    Troy Campbell, Ed O''Brien et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2014Citada por: 4

    People often use their own feelings as a basis to predict others' feelings. For example, when trying to gauge how much someone else enjoys a television show, people might think "How much do I enjoy it?" and use this answer as basis for estimating others' reactions. Although personal experience (such as actually watching the show oneself) often improves empathic accuracy, we found that gaining too much experience can impair it. Five experiments hi…

  • The Predictable Irrationality of Righteous Minds, and the Work of Ethicists

    Open AccessPeter A UbelARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2013

    As Jonathan Haidt explains in The Righteous Mind, it is often our moral intuitions that come first, rapidly or even automatically, with ethical reasoning coming later. Haidt's book is one of many that have come out in recent years highlighting the relevance of psychology (and its close cousin, neuroscience) for understanding human morality. As a behavioral scientist, I have devoured many of these books. I am fascinated by human nature and love tr…

  • The Hazards of Correcting Myths About Health Care Reform

    Brendan Nyhan, Jason Reifler et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013Referências: 12

    CONTEXT: Misperceptions are a major problem in debates about health care reform and other controversial health issues. METHODS: We conducted an experiment to determine if more aggressive media fact-checking could correct the false belief that the Affordable Care Act would create "death panels." Participants from an opt-in Internet panel were randomly assigned to either a control group in which they read an article on Sarah Palin's claims about "d…

  • Repeating an Attending Physician's Unseemly Remarks

    Open AccessPeter A UbelARTICLEThe AMA Journal of Ethic2012

    A medical student has no duty to refrain from repeating a clinical instructor’s comments except for patient-revealing elements. He may, in fact, have a duty to repeat those remarks to someone who can correct the instructor

  • Issue Emergence, Evolution of Controversy, and Implications for Competitive Framing

    Open AccessErika Franklin Fowler, Sarah E Gollust et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2011Citada por: 7Referências: 20

    Although scholarship on competitive framing acknowledges that framing is a dynamic process in which the early stages may matter most, very little research has focused on the dynamics of issue emergence. In this article, we draw on several literatures to develop theories for how controversy related to new issues will emerge and expand in news coverage. Through a comprehensive content analysis of 101 local newspapers across the fifty U.S. states, w…

  • Partisan Vision Biases Determination of Voter Intent

    Open AccessPeter A Ubel, Brian J Zikmund-FisherARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics2011Referências: 3

    In close, disputed elections, outcomes can depend on determinations of voter intent for ballots that have been filled out improperly. We surveyed 899 adult Minnesotans during a time when the state's U.S. Senate election was still disputed and presented them with ambiguous ballots similar to ballots under dispute in the same election. We randomized participants to three experimental groups, across which we varied the names on the ballot. We found …

  • Caregiving Behavior Is Associated With Decreased Mortality Risk

    Open AccessStephanie L Brown, Dylan M Smith et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2009

    Traditional investigations of caregiving link it to increased caregiver morbidity and mortality, but do not disentangle the effects of providing care from those of being continuously exposed to an ailing loved one with serious health problems. We explored this possible confound in a national, longitudinal survey of elderly married individuals ( N = 3,376). Results showed that spending at least 14 hr per week providing care to a spouse predicted d…
