Helping Smokers Quit
The Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) was established in 2003 to increase the rate of smoking cessation attempts and the likelihood those efforts would succeed. Although smoking remains the number one cause of preventable death and disability, clinicians underperform in smoking cessation. Furthermore, many clinical organizations, governmental agencies, and advocacy groups put little effort into smoking cessation. Initially targeted at in…
Helping Smokers Quit
Smoking is much more common among persons with behavioral health conditions (mental illnesses and/or substance use disorders). Persons with these disorders are more likely to die from smoking-related causes than any other reason. Studies have shown that stopping smoking can improve mental health function, as well as improve outcomes for substance use disorders. Yet, for a variety of reasons, smoking cessation has not been integrated into the trea…
From the Sidelines to the Frontline
Smoking is a major contributor to premature mortality among people with mental illness and substance abuse. Historically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) did not include smoking cessation in its mission. We describe the development of a unique partnership between SAMHSA and the University of California, San Francisco’s Smoking Cessation Leadership Center. Starting with an educational summit in Virginia in 20…
We Can Do Better — Improving the Health of the American People
In the 117th Shattuck Lecture, Dr. Steven Schroeder asks why the American system fails to deliver a standard of health similar to that observed in many other countries. In his arguments, he focuses on the public health risks of smoking and obesity and how they have been managed.

Class — The Ignored Determinant of the Nation's Health
In this article, the authors argue that although racial and ethnic disparities in health have attracted appropriate attention, the association between health and class (i.e., income, education, and occupation) is not widely appreciated. Pointing to strong correlations between higher income and educational levels and better health, they suggest that the nation's health would be greatly enhanced by investment in social and economic policies that ad…
Merchandising of cigarettes in San Francisco pharmacies
Since 1976, there has been a decline in the overall proportion of pharmacies in San Francisco that sell cigarettes yet most pharmacies, particularly traditional chain pharmacies, continue to merchandise the primary known risk factor for death in the USA

Evaluating the Costs and Benefits of a Diagnostic Technology
Medical technology assessment has been proposed as a way to encourage more appropriate use of medical technologies, which may in turn lower medical care costs. The application to a diagnostic technology of techniques for medical technology assessment is discussed, using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy as an example. Several generic problems are often encountered when performing an assessment of a diagnostic technology. These problems include the…
Merchandising cigarettes in pharmacies
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is a well known phenomenon that originates from coherent superposition of electromagnetic waves by ultrarelativistic electrons. CSR longitudinal effects during the passage of a Gaussian beam from a straight to a circular path have often been studied in a regime in which they are energy independent. Nevertheless, the approximations used in such a regime may fail in several practical situations, as in the case o…
Financial Incentives to Perform Medical Procedures and Laboratory Tests
Financial return is one of several factors that may affect a physician's decision to order services for a patient. The extent of financial incentives to perform in-office medical procedures and laboratory tests is illustrated by four hypothetical models of general internal medicine office practice. The model practices consist of fixed ratios of history and physical examinations to return visits, with numbers and types of medical procedures and la…

Variation among Physicians in Use of Laboratory Tests II. Relation to Clinical Productivity and Outcomes of Care
Previous studies from this institution have shown extreme variation in laboratory and x-ray use among comparably trained physicians caring for similar patients. In addition, essentially no correlation (r = --.13) existed between a physician's lab use profile and subjective estimates of clinical competence. This study compares variations in lab use with both clinical productivity and outcome of care. Costs of lab tests of 149 long-term ambulatory …
The Feasibility of an Outcome Approach to Quality Assurance???A Report from One HMO
Recent federal legislation has contained the stipulation that participating health maintenance organizations (HMOs) include a quality assurance program which stresses health outcomes. This provision was ostensibly directed at correcting alleged abuses in HMOs serving the urban poor. One version of the outcome method was employed for an 18-month period at an urban HMO caring for 2,000 Medicaid subscribers. The program involved comparing diagnostic…
Variation Among Physicians in Use of Laboratory Tests
A previous study at this institution demonstrated extreme variation in use laboratory tests among similarly trained internists caring for similar groups of ambulatory patients. This report examines whether these variations can be related to differences in the quality of physician performance. The physician group studied consisted of 21 medical interns at the George Washington University Hospital. In order to insure that differences in laboratory …
