Sex and racial/ethnic disparities in motor vehicle crash fatalities among U.S. Teens aged 15–19 years, 2015–2023
Introduction: Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) remain the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. teens. Although disparities in crash fatalities by sex and race/ethnicity are well documented, few studies have focused specifically on teens and teen drivers. This study examined national trends in MVC fatality rates among teens aged 15-19 years in the United States by sex and race/ethnicity. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using 201…
Factors Influencing Participation and Engagement in a Teen Safe Driving Intervention
(1) Background: Few teen driving safety programs focus on increasing parental engagement with high-risk teen drivers, specifically those with a traffic violation. This study explored parents'/guardians' ('parents') experiences with a teen driving safety program, ProjectDRIVE, including facilitators and barriers to program engagement. (2) Methods: We conducted virtual, semi-structured interviews with parents who completed ProjectDRIVE, which inclu…
Embedding Big Qual and Team Science Into Qualitative Research
Background: A major part of the HEALing Communities Study (HCS), launched in 2019 to address the growing opioid epidemic, is evaluating the study's intervention implementation process through an implementation science (IS) approach. One component of the IS approach involves teams with more than 20 researchers collaborating across four research sites to conduct in-depth qualitative interviews with over 300 participants at four time points. After c…
Digital inclusion as a social determinant of health
The use of digital tools and applications is steadily increasing and can support a range of health information needs 1 , 2 , 3 . As tools such as patient portals, health trackers, and remote monitoring devices see greater use, research suggests that tools such as health apps and patient portals can foster greater patient engagement, better support for patients outside of the clinic visit, and can improve health outcomes 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 …
Examining Patients’ Capacity to Use Patient Portals
BACKGROUND: The increase in telehealth in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic highlights the need to understand patients' capacity to utilize this care modality. Patient portals are a tool whose use requires similar resources and skills as those required for telehealth. Patients' capacity to use patient portals may therefore provide insight regarding patients' readiness and capacity to use telehealth. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this stud…

Meaningful Engagement of ACOs With Communities
OBJECTIVES: Population health management (PHM) activities within health care organizations have traditionally focused on coordinating services for populations who present for care in physicians' offices. With the recent proliferation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), however, the reach of PHM has expanded. We aimed to study ACOs' evolving definitions of their patient populations, and how these definitions might be linked to different type…
The Challenge of Improving Breast Cancer Care Coordination in Safety-net Hospitals
BACKGROUND: Minority breast cancer patients tend to have higher rates of adjuvant treatment underuse. We implemented a web-based intervention that closes referral loops between surgeons and oncologists at inner-city safety-net hospitals serving high volumes of minority breast cancer patients to assist these hospitals and improve care coordination. RESEARCH DESIGN: Following intervention implementation, we conducted interviews with key personnel t…
