  • The impact of chronic disease self-management programs: Healthcare savings through a community-based intervention

    Open AccessSangnam Ahn, Rashmita Basu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Findings emphasize the value of public health tertiary prevention interventions and the need for policies to support widespread adoption of CDSMP

  • National Study of Chronic Disease Self-Management: Six-Month Outcome Findings

    Open AccessMarcia G Ory, Sangnam Ahn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2013Cited by: 2References: 1

    Objective: To investigate how the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) changes health outcomes, lifestyle behaviors, and health care service utilization over a 6 month period. Method: The participants were 1,170 adults enrolled in the National Study of CDSMP in 2010-2012 ( M age = 65.4 years). Six-month assessments were available for 903 participants. Linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models were used to assess the chang…

  • Successes of a National Study of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program: Meeting the Triple Aim of Health Care Reform

    Marcia G Ory, Sangnam Ahn et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 6

    BACKGROUND: Emerging health care reform initiatives are of growing importance amidst concerns about providing care to increasing numbers of adults with multiple chronic conditions. Evidence-based self-management strategies are recognized as central to managing a variety of chronic diseases by improving the medical, emotional, and social role management demands of chronic conditions. OBJECTIVES: To examine the effectiveness of the Chronic Disease …

  • Best-Practice Physical Activity Programs for Older Adults: Findings From the National Impact Study

    Susan L Hughes, Rachel B Seymour et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2009Cited by: 1References: 14

    Objectives. We assessed the impact of existing best-practice physical activity programs for older adults on physical activity participation and health-related outcomes. Methods. We used a multisite, randomized trial with 544 older adults (mean age 66 years) and measures at baseline, 5, and 10 months to test the impact of a multiple-component physical activity program compared with results for a control group that did not participate in such a pro…

  • Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training Program: Evaluation Results

    Open AccessTerry Fulmer, Kathryn Hyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2005Cited by: 3

    Geriatric interdisciplinary team training has long been a goal in health education with little progress. In 1997, the John A. Hartford Foundation funded eight programs nationally to create Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training (GITT) programs. Faculty trained 1,341 health professions students. The results of the evaluation, including presentation of new measures developed to assess interdisciplinary knowledge, are presented, and the implicati…

  • Current efforts toward implementation of an urban health strategy: The Henry Ford Health System

    Open AccessNancy Whitelaw, Gail Warden et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health1998

  • Modeling Multidimensional Transitions in Health Care

    Open AccessXian Liu, Jersey Liang et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research1997Cited by: 2References: 15

    Conventional multistate life table accounting procedures are based on theoretical assumptions that are appropriate primarily for demographic events. Applying these approaches to the area of health care, however, may lead to serious biases given the frequent turnovers of events such as hospitalization and institutionalization. In addition, traditional approaches have been criticized for failing to capture population heterogeneity. This research in…

  • Probabilities and Lifetime Durations of Short-Stay Hospital and Nursing Home Use in the United States, 1985

    Jersey Liang, Xian Liu et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1996References: 29

    OBJECTIVES: The authors present a four-state increment-decrement life table model from which estimates of the risk and duration of nursing home and short-term hospital stays in the United States are derived. METHODS: Survival analysis was used to generate various transition probabilities while controlling for population heterogeneity. In addition, a newly developed algorithm was applied to construct the multistate life table specifically for heal…

  • The Structure of Self-Reported Physical Health Among the Aged in the United States and Japan

    Jersey Liang, Joan Bennett et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1991

    This article attempts to extend the generalizability of a three-dimensional model of self-reported physical health among the aged to a nonwestern culture. Consisting of three interrelated dimensions, chronic illness, functional status, and self-rated health, this model was empirically evaluated by using national data on the aged gathered in the United States and Japan. The three-dimensional specification was found to apply equally well to U.S. an…

  • The Structure of the Oars Physical Health Measures

    Nancy Whitelaw, Nancy A Whitelaw et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1991

    This article proposes and evaluates two models for integrating self-reported health status measures for the elderly with dominant conceptualizations of physical health. Each model includes three dimensions of physical health: chronic illness, functional limitation, and self-rated health. In Model 1, the dimensions are linked in a causal framework, whereas in Model 2, a second-order factor, labeled physical health status, is hypothesized to accoun…
