Current HIV/Aids end-of-life care in sub-Saharan Africa: A survey of models, services, challenges and priorities
The interdependent tasks of expanding pain control, balancing quality and coverage of care, providing technical assistance in monitoring and evaluation, collaborating between donor agencies and governments, and educating policy makers and program directors of end-of-life care are all necessary if resources are to reach their goals
Improving HIV/Aids services through palliative care: An HRSA perspective
Ryan White Care Act Title I Funding Priorities and Unmet Service Needs in Baltimore, Maryland
The analysis presented in this paper explores the similarities and differences between the services selected as priorities for funding by the Baltimore Ryan White CARE Act Title I Planning Council during the first 2 years of the program in this metropolitan area, and services perceived by HIV/AIDS service providers and people living with HIV/AIDS to be unmet needs. The data used for these analyses were collected as part of a study to assess the i…
Factors Influencing Waiting Time and Successful Receipt of Cadaveric Liver Transplant in the United States: 1990 To 1992
OBJECTIVES: Despite concern about access to liver transplantation, there has been no nationally based analysis of patients waiting for cadaveric liver transplant. Using data from the United Network for Organ Sharing Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network database waiting and recipient lists, we examined the influence of medical and non-medical factors on the length of time patients waited before transplant and whether they survived the wai…
A Typological Approach to the Study of Rural HIV Service Delivery Networks
Despite the rapid growth of AIDS cases in nonmetropolitan areas, little is known about the characteristics and needs of HIV‐positive rural residents or how rural areas are responding to the epidemic. This paper proposes a typology for distinguishing among rural environments and examining variations in HIV service networks. The typology identifies three dimensions that have a major effect on the development of rural HIV service networks: degree of…
Ensuring the Dissemination of Cancer Control Demonstration Projects for Farmers
The successful dissemination of the Cancer Control Demonstration Projects for Farmers depends not only on the effectiveness of the grants funded under this program but also on factors external to the grants. In this article, three health‐related external factors are examined: the cancers amenable to prevention and control, intervention methodologies, and the organization of rural health care. Changes between 1989 and 1996 in each of these factors…
Movement Patterns of Persons With HIV Receiving Treatment in Public Clinics in the Southern Health Region, Puerto Rico
Health planners suspect there is a pattern of movement, dubbed the "air bridge," between Puerto Rico and the continental United States by persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are seeking health services. The authors tested this hypothesis in publicly supported HlVclinics in the Puerto Rican Southern Health Region (SHR). A survey was conducted of 187 patients who were at least 18 years of age, confirmed HIV positive, and not …
Delivery of Oral Health Care Through the Ryan White Care Act to People Infected with HIV
The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990 was passed by Congress "to improve the quality and availability of care for individuals and families with HIV disease." The act targets those individuals infected with HIV who lack financial resources to pay for care. While provision of oral health care is not mandated by the legislation, many oral health services are supported through five different programs receiving CARE …
Geographic and gender variations in total tobacco use
This study is the first to provide complete information on prevalence rates by gender and geographic variation for each type of tobacco product used in the United States. Results indicate that, in nearly half of all states, total tobacco use in men exceeded 40% and, in four states, exceeded 50%. In women, only Nevada, Kentucky, and Michigan reported prevalence exceeding 33%. Results also indicate, however, that concurrent use of multiple tobacco …
