Cost-effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination in WHO-defined high-risk populations in Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh carries a substantial health and economic burden of seasonal influenza, particularly among the World Health Organization (WHO)-defined high-risk populations. We implemented a modelling study to determine the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination in each of five high-risk groups (pregnant women, children under five years of age, adults with underlying health conditions, older adults (≥60 years), and healthcare personne…
Militarization, human rights violations and community responses as determinants of health in southeastern Myanmar: Results of a cluster survey
Militarization may negatively affect health in southeastern Myanmar, and village self-protection activities may reduce these impacts. As southeastern Myanmar opens to international health and development interventions, implementing agencies should consider militarization as a determinant of health and design interventions that can mediate its effects. Such interventions should take into account existing self-protection strategies, seek to provide…
Multiple Clinical Practice Guidelines for Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening: Perceptions of US Primary Care Physicians
BACKGROUND: Multiple clinical practice guidelines exist for breast and cervical cancer screening, and differ in aggressiveness with respect to the recommended frequency and target populations for screening. OBJECTIVES: To determine (1) US primary care physicians' (PCPs) perceptions of the influence of different clinical practice guidelines; (2) the relationship between the number, aggressiveness, and agreement of influential guidelines and the ag…
Health Limitations and Quality of Life Associated With Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases by Phase of Care
OBJECTIVE: To estimate health limitations and health-related quality of life (HRQL) associated with cancer and other chronic conditions in a nationally representative sample within a phase-of-care framework. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We used a nested case-control design to assess health limitations and HRQL in individuals reporting a breast, colorectal, prostate, or lung cancer diagnosis, or a diagnosis of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, or h…
Cancer Screening and Risk Factor Rates Among American Indians
Objectives. We examined cancer screening and risk factor patterns in California using 4 different statistical tabulations of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations. Methods. We used the 2001 California Health Interview Survey to compare cancer screening and risk factor data across 4 different tabulation approaches. We calculated weighted prevalence estimates by gender and race/ethnicity for cancer screening and risk factors, sociode…
Estimating Patient Time Costs Associated With Colorectal Cancer Care
BACKGROUND: Nonmedical costs of care, such as patient time associated with travel to, waiting for, and seeking medical care, are rarely measured systematically with population-based data. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to estimate patient time costs associated with colorectal cancer care. METHODS: We identified categories of key medical services for colorectal cancer care and then estimated patient time associated with each service cat…
Do Patients Consistently Report Comorbid Conditions Over Time: Results From the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Study
BACKGROUND: Comorbidity is an important dimension of patient health status. However, limited attention has been given to assessing the reliability of patient-reported data on comorbid conditions. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the consistency of self-report of 12 comorbid conditions at 3 distinct time points and examine the sociodemographic, clinical, health status, and survey factors associated with reliability. STUDY DESIGN: We undertook a l…
Race/Ethnicity and the Intensity of Medical Monitoring Under ‘Watchful Waiting’ for Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that racial/ethnic minority patients with prostate cancer are more frequently managed with "watchful waiting." Little, however, is known about the medical care received among men managed with watchful waiting. We examine the type and intensity of medical monitoring received by African American, Hispanic, and white patients with prostate cancer managed with "watchful waiting" in fee-for-service systems. METH…
The Dynamics of Warfare: 1816-1965
Stochastic models are constructed to illuminate the dynamic incidence of international warfare during the period from 1816 to 1965. It is argued that the probabilistic structure of this incidence is revealed most clearly through an analysis based on dyads of nations, thereby disassembling multilateral wars such as World War II. The conceptual focus is on a clear delineation of heterogeneity, both over time and over actors, and of contagion, diffe…
