Adding Self-Care Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) Therapies to Care for Chronic Pain–The Assessing Pain, Patient Reported Outcomes and Complementary Health (APPROACH) Study
BACKGROUND: Health care systems and insurers are expanding coverage for practitioner-delivered and self-care complementary and integrative health (CIH) therapies for chronic pain. OBJECTIVES: To determine if combining practitioner-delivered and self-care CIH therapies (PD/SC-CIH) improves pain outcomes more than practitioner-delivered CIH (PD-CIH) therapies alone. RESEARCH DESIGN: Pragmatic nonrandomized trial. Structural nudges and the availabil…
Social Workers Being Social Workers
Connecting emotionally with peers is a priority among social workers. Peer support helps social workers manage the emotional overload from the nature of the work, while reducing feelings of burnout. The delivery of social services has been altered by the lingering effects of the pandemic, particularly with regard to the changing work environment. Therefore, this study seeks to assess factors that impacted feelings of connecting emotionally among …

‘Emotional preparedness’
Social work providers are at risk of experiencing lower morale during disasters because of added emotional stressors, yet, dissemination of factors that impact a social worker’s ability to manage emotions during disasters is scant. In the disaster literature, no single term adequately encompasses the myriad components of addressing a provider’s own emotional needs before disaster strikes. The authors propose how ‘emotional preparedness’ is differ…
Social Workers Being Effective in Disaster Settings
Research about social workers' impact during disasters is not widely recognized. Among the various roles social workers play during disasters are to handle asurge of clients and to support peers and leaders in their respective departments by filling in gaps in services. Dissemination of social workers' best practice approaches during actual disasters is important because their collective contributions facilitate their own resilience and improve t…

Education of Elderly Patients About Emergency Preparedness by Health Care Practitioners
An editorial is presented which addresses the authors' views about the efforts of health care practitioners to educate older patients about emergency preparedness, and it mentions responses to large-scale disasters, America's aging population, and patient resiliency. The U.S. Veterans Health Administration's Home Based Primacy care program is examined, along with patient assessments, disaster planning, and the roles of home health agencies
Health-related quality of life and comorbidity among older women veterans in the United States
Sex Differences in the Association of Framingham Cardiac Risk Score With Cognitive Decline in Community-Dwelling Elders Without Clinical Heart Disease
OBJECTIVE: To investigate a possible link between cardiovascular risk factors and age-related cognitive decline, the association of the 1998 Framingham Cardiac Risk Score (FCRS) with the trajectory of cognitive function test (CFT) performance over an 18 year period was examined in adults 50 years and older without clinical heart disease at baseline. METHODS: Participants were 985 men and women who had assessments of cognitive function at 3- to 4-…
Five-year stability in associations of health-related quality of life measures in community-dwelling older adults
Similar conclusions would result using either instrument SF-12 or SF-36. However, SF-6D and SF-36 assess, at least in part, different underlying aspects of HRQOL. Both age and sex impact HRQOL
Screening for oral health literacy in an urban dental clinic
The REALM-D is an effective instrument for use by medical and dental clinicians in detecting differences among people of different backgrounds and for whom English was not their primary language
Predictors of treatment preference for mandibular fracture
The significance of symptom severity 1-month post-surgery raises an important issue regarding the healing process. Moreover, the significance of standard gamble as a predictor of treatment choice for mandibular fracture should encourage other researchers to use this measure of willingness to accept risk when studying acute conditions such as jaw fracture
A Longitudinal Analysis of Unmet Need for Oral Treatment in a National Sample of Medical HIV Patients
This longitudinal study examines perceived unmet dental need in a nationally representative probability sample of HIV-infected persons in medical care. A logistic regression analysis modeled the relationship between unmet need and explanatory variables. We estimate that 40% of HIV/AIDS patients report an unmet need associated with being male, being unemployed, injecting drugs, being heterosexual, lacking dental insurance, and having less educatio…
Associations of self-reported oral health with physical and mental health in a nationally representative sample of HIV persons receiving medical care
The Dynamics of Ethnic Competition and Conflict
This study of ethnic violence in the United States from 1877 to 1914 reveals that not all ethnic groups were equally likely to be victims of violence; the author seeks the reasons for this historical record. Earlier theories of race and ethnic conflict often assumed that ethnic conflict is primarily a function of poverty or deprivation but Olzak suggests that conflict can equally arise during times of economic growth. She explains this by arguing…
Beyond the Ethnic Enclave Economy
The terms “ethnic economy” and “ethnic enclave economy” designate an immigrant or minority business and employment sector that coexists with the general economy. Users often treat these terms as synonymous. In fact, they are not. The concept of ethnic enclave economy derives from the labor segmentation literature, whereas the concept of ethnic economy derives from the middleman minorities literature. The derivations have shaped the problems that …
