The health implications of neighborhood networks based on daily mobility in US cities
A large body of research has been dedicated to understanding the neighborhood conditions that impact health, which outcomes are affected, and how these associations vary by demographic and socioeconomic neighborhood and individual characteristics. This literature has focused mostly on the neighborhoods in which individuals reside, thus failing to recognize that residents across race/ethnicity and class spend a non-trivial amount of their time in …
Doing the Work—or Not
While the number of positions, committees, and projects described as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)” work has grown rapidly in recent years, there has been little attention to the theory, praxis, or lived experience of this work. In this perspective, we briefly summarize the research and concepts put forth by DEI leaders in higher education more broadly, followed by an analysis of the literature's application to academic medicine. We the…
The AMA Graduate Profile
Purpose: Medical schools aim to train competent physicians that meet the health care needs of society. Yet beyond the results of the residency match, medical schools often do not know what kind of workforce they are creating or how their graduates perform in practice. 1 Here, we describe the creation of a personalized Graduate Profile for 32 medical schools in the American Medical Association (AMA) Accelerating Change in Medical Education grant c…
Assessing Program Mission and Graduate Practice Outcomes
Purpose: To meet the state’s physician workforce needs, the University of California, Davis School of Medicine (UCDSOM) developed 4 tailored pathways: Accelerated Competency-based Education in Primary Care (ACE-PC), Rural Programs in Medical Education (PRIME), Transforming Education and Community Health for Medical Students (TEACH-MS), and San Joaquin Valley PRIME, collectively known as Community Health Scholars (CHS). These programs strive to in…
The Not Underrepresented Minorities
Several lawsuits have recently been filed against U.S. universities; the plaintiffs contend that considerations of race and ethnicity in admissions decisions discriminate against Asian Americans. In prior cases brought by non-Latino whites, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld these considerations, arguing that they are crucial to a compelling interest to increase diversity. The dissenting opinion, however, concerns the possibility that such policie…
Predictors of Nursing Facility Entry by Medicaid-Only Older Adults and Persons With Disabilities in California
Nearly one-third of adult Medicaid beneficiaries who receive long-term services and supports (LTSS) consist of older adults and persons with disabilities who are not eligible for Medicare. Beneficiaries, advocates, and policymakers have all sought to shift LTSS to home and community settings as an alternative to institutional care. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Medicaid-only adults in California with new use of LTSS in 2006-2007 (N…
Changes in the Supply of US Rural Health Centers, 2000‐2011
PURPOSE: Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide primary care in rural areas with a shortage of providers. This paper examines whether racial and ethnic minority composition was related to changes in the supply of RHCs and FQHCs in rural counties from 2000 to 2011. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of rural counties using the Area Health Resource File 2012-2013. We examined rural countie…
Health Care Expenditures After Initiating Long-term Services and Supports in the Community Versus in a Nursing Facility
BACKGROUND: Individuals who receive long-term services and supports (LTSS) are among the most costly participants in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. OBJECTIVES: To compare health care expenditures among users of Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) versus those using extended nursing facility care. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis of California dually eligible adult Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries who initiated …
Integrating Health Care for the Most Vulnerable
Policymakers have increasingly promoted health services integration to improve quality and efficiency. The US health care safety net, which comprises providers of health care to uninsured, Medicaid, and other vulnerable patients, remains a largely fragmented collection of providers. We interviewed leadership from safety net hospitals and community health centers in 5 US cities (Boston, MA; Denver, CO; Los Angeles, CA; Minneapolis, MN; and San Fra…
Efficacy of the Responsive Classroom Approach
This randomized controlled field trial examined the efficacy of the Responsive Classroom ( RC) approach on student achievement. Schools ( n = 24) were randomized into intervention and control conditions; 2,904 children were studied from end of second to fifth grade. Students at schools assigned to the RC condition did not outperform students at schools assigned to the control condition in math or reading achievement. Use of RC practices mediated …
Whose social capital matters? The case of U.S. urban public hospital closures and conversions to private ownership
Urban neighbourhood unemployment history and depressive symptoms over time among late middle age and older adults
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how a neighbourhood's unemployment history may set the stage for depressive symptomatology. This study examines the effects of urban neighbourhood unemployment history on current depressive symptoms and subsequent symptom trajectories among residentially stable late middle age and older adults. Contingent effects between neighbourhood unemployment and individual-level employment status (ie, cross-level interactio…
