Prevalence of cardiovascular disease among Asian, Pacific Islander and multi-race populations in Hawai’i and California
Study findings revealed significant differences in overall CVD, CHD, stroke, and PVD among API subgroups. In addition to elevated risk among Filipino, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander groups, the study identified particularly elevated risk among multi-race API groups. Differences in disease prevalence are likely mirrored in other cardiometabolic conditions, supporting the need to disaggregate API subgroups in health research

Psychological distress and mental health service utilization disparities in disaggregated Asian American populations, 2006–2018
Factors Associated With Accuracy of Self-Assessment Compared With Tested Non–English Language Proficiency Among Primary Care Providers
BACKGROUND: There are no accepted best practices for clinicians to report their non-English language (NEL) fluencies. Language discordance between patients with limited English proficiency and their clinicians may contribute to suboptimal quality of care. OBJECTIVES: To compare self-assessed clinician NEL proficiency with a validated oral language proficiency test. To identify clinician characteristics associated with self-assessment accuracy. SU…
Clocks Moving at Different Speeds
OBJECTIVE: To explore racial/ethnic differences in satisfaction with wait time of scheduled office visits by comparing electronic health record (EHR)-based, patient-reported, and patient satisfaction with wait time STUDY SETTING: : A large multispecialty ambulatory care organization in Northern California. Patient experience surveys were collected between 2010 and 2014. Surveys were mailed after randomly selected nonurgent visits. Returned survey…
Relationship Between Self-assessed and Tested Non–English-language Proficiency Among Primary Care Providers
BACKGROUND: Individuals with limited English proficiency experience poor patient-clinician communication. Most studies of language concordance have not measured clinician non-English-language proficiency. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy of the self-assessment of non-English-language proficiency by clinicians compared with an oral proficiency interview. SUBJECTS: Primary care providers (PCPs) in California and Massachusetts. MEASURES: PCPs fi…
How good is “very good”? Translation effect in the racial/ethnic variation in self-rated health status
The Effect of Retirement on Weight
Given the increasing number of people approaching retirement age, the population level impact of the weight gain ascribed to retirement on health outcomes and health care system might be significant. Future research should evaluate programs targeted to older adults who are most likely to gain weight with retirement
Changes in Treatment Content of Services During Trauma-informed Integrated Services for Women with Co-occurring Disorders
The experience of trauma is highly prevalent in the lives of women with mental health and substance abuse problems. We examined how an intervention targeted to provide trauma-informed integrated services in the treatment of co-occurring disorders has changed the content of services reported by clients. We found that the intervention led to an increased provision of integrated services as well as services addressing each content area: trauma, ment…
