Consistency in Self-Reported Race-and-Ethnicity Over Time: Implications for Improving the Accuracy of Imputations and Making the Best Use of Self-Report
Ann Haas, Steven C Martino et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2025References: 14
BACKGROUND: Medicare Bayesian Improved Surname and Geocoding (MBISG), which augments an imperfect race-and-ethnicity administrative variable to estimate probabilities that people would self-identify as being in each of 6 mutually exclusive racial-and-ethnic groups, performs very well for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AA&NHPI), Black, Hispanic, and White race-and-ethnicity, somewhat less well for American Indian/Alaska Nativ…

The Contribution of First-name Information to the Accuracy of Racial-and-Ethnic Imputations Varies by Sex and Race-and-Ethnicity Among Medicare Beneficiaries
Ann Haas, John Adams et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2022References: 22
BACKGROUND: Data on race-and-ethnicity that are needed to measure health equity are often limited or missing. The importance of first name and sex in predicting race-and-ethnicity is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the contribution of first-name information to the accuracy of basic and more complex racial-and-ethnic imputations that incorporate surname information. RESEARCH DESIGN: We imputed race-and-et…

Suicide among persons who entered same-sex and opposite-sex marriage in Denmark and Sweden, 1989–2016: A binational, register-based cohort study
Open AccessA Erlangsen, Sven Drefahl et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2020Cited by: 4References: 29
BACKGROUND: People belonging to sexual minority groups have higher levels of suicidality than heterosexuals. However, findings regarding suicide death are sparse. Using unique national data from two countries, we investigated whether individuals entering a same-sex marriage (SSM), a proxy group of sexual minority individuals, had higher suicide rates than those entering opposite-sex marriage (OSM). METHODS: A cohort study of all males and females…

The association between discrimination and PTSD in African Americans: Exploring the role of gender
Stephanie Brooks Holliday, Tamara Dubowitz et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2018Cited by: 5References: 22
Background: Research has demonstrated the adverse impact that discrimination has on physical and mental health. However, few studies have examined the association between discrimination and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is evidence that African Americans experience higher rates of PTSD and are more likely to develop PTSD following trauma exposure than Whites, and discrimination may be one reason for this disparity. Purpo…
Associations of CAHPS Composites With Global Ratings of the Doctor Vary by Medicare Beneficiaries’ Health Status
Ron D Hays, Joshua S Mallett et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2018References: 12
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: Care coordination among health care providers is essential for high-quality care and it is strongly associated with overall ratings of doctors. Care coordination may be especially important for sicker and chronically ill patients because of the multiple providers involved in their care. This study examines whether the association of care coordination with global ratings of one's personal doctor varies by number of chronic cond…
What Matters Most to Whom: Racial, Ethnic, and Language Differences in the Health Care Experiences Most Important to Patients
Rebecca L Collins, Ann Haas et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017References: 31
BACKGROUND: Some aspects of patient experience are more strongly related to overall ratings of care than others, reflecting their importance to patients. However, little is known about whether the importance of different aspects of this experience differs across subgroups. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the aspects of health care most important to patients differ according to patient race, ethnicity, and language preference. RESEARCH DESIGN: In…

Less Use of Extreme Response Options by Asians to Standardized Care Scenarios May Explain Some Racial/Ethnic Differences in CAHPS Scores
Lauren A Mayer, Marc N Elliott et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016References: 30
BACKGROUND: Asian Americans (hereafter "Asians") generally report worse experiences with care than non-Latino whites (hereafter "whites"), which may reflect differential use of response scales. Past studies indicate that Asians exhibit lower Extreme Response Tendency (ERT)-they less frequently use responses at extreme ends of the scale than whites. OBJECTIVE: To explore whether lower ERT is observed for Asians than whites in response to standardi…

Which literacy skills are associated with smoking
Laurie T Martin, Ann Haas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012References: 14
BACKGROUND: Research has demonstrated associations between smoking and reading skills, but other literacy skills such as speaking, listening and numeracy are less studied despite our dependence on the use of numbers and the oral exchange to deliver information on the risks of smoking. METHODS: The authors used multivariable logistic regression to examine the effects of reading, numeracy, speaking and listening skills on: (1) becoming a regular sm…
Measuring Success for Health Care Quality Improvement Interventions
Kristy Gonzalez Morganti, Susan Lovejoy et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2012References: 10
BACKGROUND: The lack of a standard measure of quality improvement (QI) success and the use of subjective or self-reported measures of QI success has constrained efforts to formally evaluate QI programs and to understand how the various contextual factors impact QI success. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess how best to measure "QI success" by comparing self-reported and externally rated measures of QI success. RESEARCH DESIGN: …

CONTEXT: In 2002, an estimated 877,000 lives were lost worldwide through suicide. Some developed nations have implemented national suicide prevention plans. Although these plans generally propose multiple interventions, their effectiveness is rarely evaluated. OBJECTIVES: To examine evidence for the effectiveness of specific suicide-preventive interventions and to make recommendations for future prevention programs and research. DATA SOURCES AND …
