Neighborhood Influences on Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular health (CVH) is both a concept and a measure that refers to health behaviors and clinical factors that help prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). The neighborhood environment is increasingly recognized as a crucial social determinant of CVH, especially for Black populations. The purpose of this participatory concept mapping (CM) study was to (1) understand perspectives on neighborhood features that influence health and (2) identify…
The influence of acculturation and stress on obesity in US latino dyads using systems science
Immigration and acculturation status impede pediatric weight management and increase stress in US Latino caregiver-child dyads. Future studies should consider immigration and acculturation status in caregivers and children as a mediator of treatment outcomes
Travel time, availability of emergency obstetric care, and perceived quality of care associated with maternal healthcare utilisation in Afghanistan
Limited understanding of factors such as travel time, availability of emergency obstetric care (EmOC), and satisfaction/perceived quality of care on the utilisation of maternal health services exists in fragile and conflict-affect settings. We examined these key factors on three utilisation outcomes: at least one skilled antenatal care (ANC) visit, in-facility delivery, and bypassing the nearest public facility for childbirth in Afghanistan from …
Racial Residential Segregation and Race Differences in Ideal Cardiovascular Health among Young Men
Among young Black and White men, RRS is an important factor to consider when seeking to understand CVH and reduce future cardiovascular risk
Facility-level characteristics associated with family planning and child immunization services integration in urban areas of Nigeria
Background Unmet need for postpartum contraception is high. Integration of family planning with routine child immunization services may help to satisfy unmet need. However, evidence about the determinants and effects of integration has been inconsistent, and more evidence is required to ascertain whether and how to invest in integration. In this study, facility-level family planning and immunization integration index scores are used to: (1) deter…
Adherence to Car Seat Tolerance Screening Differs by Indication and Patient Characteristics
Promoting Exercise and Healthy Diet Among Primary Care Patients
Physical activity and healthy diet are recognized as effective approaches for disease prevention. Controlled laboratory clinical trials support these approaches, yet minimal data exists supporting implementation of exercise as medicine within a healthcare setting. Objectives: To understand perception and barriers to exercise and nutrition from patients and physicians from a family medicine clinic (FMC) to inform the implementation of a laboratory…
National and subnational estimates of coverage and travel time to emergency obstetric care in Afghanistan
The Association Between the Supply of Nonpharmacologic Providers, Use of Nonpharmacologic Pain Treatments, and High-risk Opioid Prescription Patterns Among Medicare Beneficiaries With Persistent Muscu…
BACKGROUND: Opioids are prescribed more frequently than nonpharmacologic treatments for persistent musculoskeletal pain (MSP). We estimate the association between the supply of physical therapy (PT) and mental health (MH) providers and early nonpharmacologic service use with high-risk opioid prescriptions among Medicare beneficiaries with persistent MSP. RESEARCH DESIGN: We retrospectively studied Medicare beneficiaries (>65 y) enrolled in Fee-fo…
Absence of a moderating effect of parent health literacy on Early Head Start enrollment and dental use
Parents in EHS had a higher prevalence of low HL compared to non-EHS parents. Parents' HL did not moderate the relationship between EHS and child dental use, suggesting that EHS results in similar improvements in dental use regardless of parent's HL levels
Enrollment in early head start and oral health-related quality of life
Impact of Early Head Start in North Carolina on Dental Care Use Among Children Younger Than 3 Years
Objectives. To examine the effects of North Carolina Early Head Start (EHS), an early education program for low-income children younger than 3 years and their families, on dental care use among children. Methods. We performed a quasi-experimental study in which we interviewed 479 EHS and 699 non-EHS parent–child dyads at baseline (2010–2012) and at a 24-month follow-up (2012–2014). We estimated the effects of EHS participation on the probability …
Rural Medicare Beneficiaries Have Fewer Follow-up Visits and Greater Emergency Department Use Postdischarge
BACKGROUND: Hospitals are focused on improving postdischarge services for older adults, such as early follow-up care after hospitalization to reduce readmissions and unnecessary emergency department (ED) use. Rural Medicare beneficiaries face many barriers to receiving quality care, but little is known about their postdischarge care and outcomes. We hypothesize that rural Medicare beneficiaries compared with urban beneficiaries, will have fewer f…
Examining Continuity of Care for Medicaid-Enrolled Children Receiving Oral Health Services in Medical Offices
Comparing Medical and Dental Providers of Oral Health Services on Early Dental Caries Experience
Objectives. Most state Medicaid programs reimburse nondental primary care providers (PCPs) for providing preventive oral health services to young children. We examined the association between who (PCP, dentist, or both) provides these services to Medicaid enrollees before age 3 years and oral health at age 5 years. Methods. We linked North Carolina Medicaid claims (1999–2006) to oral health surveillance data (2005–2006). Regression models estimat…

Research Recruitment Through US Central Cancer Registries
Cancer registries are a valuable resource for recruiting participants for public health–oriented research, although such recruitment raises potentially competing concerns about patient privacy and participant accrual. We surveyed US central cancer registries about their policies for research contact with patients, and results showed substantial variation. The strategy used most frequently (37.5% of those that allowed patient contact), which was a…
Patient Satisfaction and Use of Veterans Affairs Versus Non-Veterans Affairs Healthcare Services by Veterans
OBJECTIVES: Chronically ill patients who are not satisfied with their care may change healthcare providers or systems, which could disrupt continuity of care and impede management of their conditions. We examined whether patient satisfaction affected subsequent use of non-Veterans Affairs (VA) services among chronically ill veterans discharged from VA hospitals. METHODS: The data used in this study came from a multicenter trial of increased acces…
Can Shelter-Based Interventions Improve Treatment Engagement in Homeless Individuals With Psychiatric and/or Substance Misuse Disorders
BACKGROUND: High proportions of homeless individuals have mental illness and substance use disorders. Few of these individuals engage in consistent treatment, although they are likely to benefit from it. Shelter-based interventions to help this population engage in treatment have not been studied in a rigorous manner. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a shelter-based intervention, including intensive outreach by a psychiatric…

Multisite Randomized Controlled Trials in Health Services Research
Although well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCT) provide the strongest evidence regarding causation, only relatively recently have they been used by health services researchers to study the organization, delivery, quality, and outcomes of care. More recent yet is the extension of multisite RCTs to health services research. Such studies offer numerous methodological advantages over single-site trials: (1) enhanced external validity; (2) g…

Toward a Better Understanding of the Delivery of Primary Care
A holistic theoretical model is presented which attempts to integrate various perspectives and findings in order to research questions related to the provision of high-quality, patient-sensitive, primary care. The model is divided into three broad components: the patient world, the provider world, and their interaction. "World" refers to the background, attitudes, and social support systems of each group. Following a detailed description of the p…

The Emergency Room and the Hypertensive Patient
The authors evaluated three methods of referring new hypertensive patients from a large municipal hospital emergency room to an ongoing medical care system. A total of 239 patients were assigned to one of three groups. Compliance with recommendations to receive follow-up care was compared for each group. Forty-two percent of patients who received a routine referral from nurses or physicians plus a follow-up telephone call or letter complied. Thir…

Increasing Prescribed Office Visits
Patients who fail to show for scheduled visits or who fail to contact their provider when warning symptoms occur pose important problems for the primary care physician. A group of interventions was examined to determine the effectiveness in increasing the number of prescribed office visits in patients with diabetes mellitus. This group of interventions included mailed packets with information on how to use the clinic, providers' names and phone n…

Postdischarge Care and Readmissions
A multifaceted intervention was hypothesized to increase postdischarge ambulatory contacts and to reduce nonelective readmissions. Patients (N = 1,001) discharged from the general medicine service were stratified by risk for nonelective readmission and randomized to the control or intervention group. Intervention patients received phone calls from nurses, mailings of appointment reminders and lists of early warning signs, and prompt rescheduling …
The Cost-effectiveness of Intensive Postdischarge Care
This study tested the hypothesis that increasing the intensity of outpatient care for patients discharged from the hospital could lower their subsequent inpatient and total health-care costs. At discharge, 1,001 patients were stratified by risk of readmission (low, medium, or high) and randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Discharge information (summaries, medications, and postdischarge needs) was provided to outpatient nurses w…

Measuring Patient Satisfaction for Quality Improvement
BACKGROUND: Surveys used for health plan quality reporting are generally administered annually to health plan enrollees to assess satisfaction with both the health plan and health care services. Therefore, surveys may lack sensitivity to measure the effects of patient-focused, quality improvement initiatives that could demonstrate results in a shorter time period. OBJECTIVES: We describe the development and testing of a multidimensional, visit-sp…
