Cost-effectiveness analysis of smoking cessation interventions using cell phones in a low-income population
NCT00948129; Results
Use of forecasted assessment of quality of life to validate time‐trade‐off utilities and a prostate cancer screening decision‐analytic model
PURPOSE: To determine whether the forecasted assessment of how someone would feel in a future health state can be predictive of utilities (e.g. as elicited by the time-trade-off method) and also predictive of optimal decisions as determined by a decision-analytic model. METHODS: We elicited time-trade-off utilities for prostate cancer treatment outcomes from 168 men. We also elicited forecasted assessments, that is, an informal, non-quantitative,…
Treatment decisions for localized prostate cancer
OBJECTIVE: Few decision aids emphasize active surveillance (AS) for localized prostate cancer. Concept mapping was used to produce a conceptual framework incorporating AS and treatment. METHODS: Fifty-four statements about what men need to make a decision for localized prostate cancer were derived from focus groups with African American, Latino and white men previously screened for prostate cancer and partners (n = 80). In the second phase, 89 pa…

Grief in Healthcare Chaplains
We examined how chaplains respond to grief and determined the prevalence of disenfranchised grief (i.e., grief that is not or cannot be acknowledged or supported by society) in healthcare chaplains. We conducted an online survey of members of the Association of Professional Chaplains. Of 3131 potential participants, 577 (18%) responded to the survey. In response to grief in the workplace, chaplains stated they would have low energy (78%), feel sa…
The Association between Symptom Burdens and Utility in Chinese Cancer Patients
The Language Translation Process in Survey Research
The purpose of this study is to conduct a cost analysis from an institutional perspective of translating an English-language survey instrument to Spanish. The authors conduct a process flow analysis of the steps required to create and validate a 30-page survey instrument with 211 items. The identified steps in the translation process cost $10,426. Personnel and overhead account for 60% and 33%, respectively, of the total costs. The detailed proce…
Psychological benefits of prostate cancer screening
Objectives The role of reassurance in decision‐making about screening for health problems is largely unknown. We examined the reassurance value of prostate cancer screening in primary care patients. Setting and participants One hundred and sixty eight men, aged 45–70 years, who had no history of prostate cancer, from three family medicine practices in southeast Texas. Methods A hypothetical scenario was developed where men were asked to assume th…

A decision-analytic approach to postexposure rabies prophylaxis
The risks and benefits of postexposure rabies prophylaxis were analyzed from clinical and economic perspectives. A decision-analytic model was constructed by using probability and outcome data from the literature and the state health department. Health outcomes were measured in quality-adjusted life years. In the base case (overweight adult male), treatment is optimal when the probability of animal rabidity is greater than 1 in 2000. Sensitivity …
