The association between physical activity and mammography screening utilization
Physical inactivity is a well-known factor associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. However, there is a disparity in physical activity levels among women in the United States. These disparities are associated with differences in women’s mammography screening behaviors, which may contribute to disparities in breast cancer incidence and outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the association between physical activity and the utilization of…
Association between Non-Dietary Cardiovascular Health and Expenditures Related to Acute Coronary Syndrome in the US between 2008–2018
Background: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) causes the most deaths in the United States and accounts for the highest amount of healthcare spending. Cardiovascular Health (CVH) metrics have been widely used in primary prevention, but their benefits in secondary prevention on total healthcare expenditures related to ACS are largely unknown.

The Impact of IT-Based Healthcare Communication on Mammography Screening Utilization among Women in the United States
Effective patient-provider communication improves mammography utilization. Using information technology (IT) promotes health outcomes. However, there are disparities in access to IT that could contribute to disparities in mammography utilization. This study aims to assess the association between IT-based health care communication and mammography utilization and to evaluate if this effect is modified by race/ethnicity and age. To this end, this st…

Cost sharing and hospitalizations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions
The Impact of the Massachusetts Health Care Reform on Unpaid Medical Bills
The Massachusetts health care reform was expected to reduce the financial burden of medical care, but literature exploring this effect is limited. In this study, we use hospital financial information and a panel data difference-in-difference model to assess the impact of the Massachusetts health care reform on unpaid medical bills. We find that the reform reduced the financial burden for patients, reflected by a 26percent decrease in hospital bad…
