Body Mass Index and Health Care Utilization in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Individuals
BACKGROUND: Although controversial, most studies examining the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with mortality in diabetes suggest a paradox: the lowest risk category is above normal weight, versus normal weight in nondiabetic persons. One proposed explanation is greater morbidity of diabetes in normal weight persons. If this were so, it would suggest a health care utilization paradox in diabetes, paralleling the mortality paradox, yet no st…
Satisfaction With Health Care Providers and Preventive Care Adherence
BACKGROUND: Prior studies demonstrating associations between patient satisfaction with health care providers and preventive adherence were cross-sectional, limiting causal inferences. In cross-sectional and prospective analyses, we explored 3 hypotheses previously invoked to explain associations between satisfaction with providers and preventive adherence: (1) receiving preventive care increases satisfaction; (2) enhancing satisfaction increases …

Lifetime Earnings for Physicians Across Specialties
BACKGROUND: Earlier studies estimated annual income differences across specialties, but lifetime income may be more relevant given physicians' long-term commitments to specialties. METHODS: Annual income and work hours data were collected from 6381 physicians in the nationally representative 2004-2005 Community Tracking Study. Data regarding years of residency were collected from AMA FREIDA. Present value models were constructed assuming 3% disco…
Health Characteristics Associated With Gaining and Losing Private and Public Health Insurance
BACKGROUND: Millions of Americans lack or lose health insurance annually, yet how health characteristics predict insurance acquisition and loss remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To examine associations of health characteristics with acquisition and loss of private and public health insurance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Prospective observational analysis of 2000 to 2007 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data for persons aged 18 to 63 on entry, enr…
Patient-provider Sex and Race/Ethnicity Concordance
BACKGROUND: Increasing patient-provider sex and race/ethnicity concordance has been proposed to improve healthcare and help mitigate health disparities, but the relationship between concordance and health outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To examine associations of patient-provider sex, race/ethnicity, and dual concordance with healthcare measures. RESEARCH DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Analyses of data from adult respondents indicating a usual sou…
Mortality Prediction by Quality-Adjusted Life Year Compatible Health Measures
BACKGROUND: Responses to single-item categorical self-rated health (SRH) measures predict mortality, but performance of quality-adjusted life year (QALY) compatible health measures in this regard has not been much investigated. OBJECTIVES: To examine mortality prediction and discrimination by 4 QALY compatible health measures, a reference single-item categorical SRH measure, and 1-year declines in those measures. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cox survival and…
Differences Between Individual and Societal Health State Valuations
OBJECTIVE: The concept of "adaptation" has been proposed to account for differences between individual and societal valuations of specific health states in patients with chronic diseases. Little is known about psychological indices of adaptational capacity, which may predict differences in individual and societal valuations of health states. We investigated whether such differences were partially explained by personality traits in chronic disease…
Personality and EQ-5D scores among individuals with chronic conditions
Franks Et Al. Respond
Farrelly and Engelen appear to have repeated our analyses, but have included 2 more recent years of data and used Nielsen retail price data as well as the tax burden data that we used. There are some noteworthy inconsistencies. First, despite using more years of data, their sample size was over 1 million persons smaller than ours. Second, they noted that a meta-analysis found an elasticity of −0.4, which is what we found in the earlier time perio…
Self-Report Adherence Measures in Chronic Illness
BACKGROUND: Patient self-report is a practical method for measuring adherence, but little is known about its optimal use. OBJECTIVES: To examine the retest reliability and predictive validity of 3 different types of self-report adherence measures among patients with common chronic illnesses. RESEARCH DESIGN: Correlation and regression analyses of data from an ongoing randomized controlled trial. SUBJECTS: Patients (N = 415) aged >or=40 years recr…
Depressive Symptoms Moderated the Effect of Chronic Illness Self-Management Training on Self-Efficacy
BACKGROUND: Identifying moderators of the effects of self-efficacy enhancing interventions could facilitate their refinement and more targeted, cost-effective delivery. Current theories and data concerning the potential moderating effect of depressive symptoms on interventions to enhance patient chronic illness self-management self-efficacy are conflicting. OBJECTIVES: To explore the moderating effect of depressive symptoms on the effect of an in…
Health Status Among US Hispanics
BACKGROUND: The relationship between health status and Hispanic ethnicities, language, and nativity is poorly understood, due to the limitations and conflicting findings of previous studies. OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of language and nativity on health status in Hispanic ethnic subgroups and non-Hispanic whites (whites). RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional analyses of data from the 1998-2004 National Health Interview Survey linked to the 199…
Cigarette Prices, Smoking, and the Poor
Objective. We examined the relationship between smoking participation and cigarette pack price by income group and time period to determine role of cigarette prices in income-related disparities in smoking in the United States. Methods. We used data from the 1984–2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys linked to information on cigarette prices to examine the adjusted prevalence of smoking participation and smoking participation–ci…
Prevalence and Trends in Smoking
Context: Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of and recent trends in smoking among adults by type of rural location and by state. Methods: Random‐digit telephone survey of adults aged 18 years or older who participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in 1994‐1996 (n = 342,055) and 2000‐2001 (n = 385,384). The main outcome measure was current cigare…

A National Study of Obesity Prevalence and Trends by Type of Rural County
Context: Obesity is epidemic in the United States, but information on this trend by type of rural locale is limited. Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of and recent trends in obesity among US adults residing in rural locations. Methods: Analysis of data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for the years 1994–1996 (n = 342,055) and 2000–2001 (n = 385,384). The main outcome measure was obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥30), a…
Reducing the Cost of Frequent Hospital Admissions for Congestive Heart Failure
BACKGROUND: The high cost of caring for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) results primarily from frequent hospital readmissions for exacerbations. Home nurse visits after discharge can reduce readmissions, but the intervention costs are high. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of three hospital discharge care models for reducing CHF-related readmission charges: 1) home telecare delivered via a 2-way video-conference device with a…
