Using Implementation Science to Disseminate a Lung Cancer Screening Education Intervention Through Community Health Workers
A Rural Appalachian Faith-Placed Smoking Cessation Intervention
P2-62 Early detection of colorectal cancer in the US in Appalachia
Colorectal cancer is currently the 3 rd leading cause of cancer death worldwide. For rural, medically underserved populations in the US, and particularly in Appalachia, the burden of this disease is even greater. Elevated colorectal cancer rates in rural populations represents a missed opportunity for early detection through screening. Low screening rates are particularly concerning for Appalachia because of poverty and limited access to healthca…
Patient‐Level and Practice‐Level Characteristics Associated with Receipt of Preventive Dental Services
One preventive procedure was common; the other was uncommon. However, practices did not effectively target high-risk patients for either procedure. Instead, both services were typically received by persons with the least need for them. These findings are consistent with the conclusion that practitioners greatly influenced the delivery of fluoride services, with substantial contributions also made by patient-level predisposing and enabling factors…
Sociodemographic characteristics and diabetes predict invalid self-reported non-smoking in a population-based study of U.S. adults
Validity of self-reported non-smoking may be related to the relatively slowly progressing chronic nature of diabetes, in contrast with the acute event of myocardial infarction which could be considered a more serious, major life changing event. These data also raise questions regarding the possible role of societal desirability in the validity of self-reported non-smoking, especially among smokers with diabetes, who did not graduate from high sch…
Effectiveness of dental services in facilitating recovery from oral disadvantage
Chronic oral disadvantage, a measure of long-term decrements in oral health-related quality of life
The Paradox of Dental Need in a Population-Based Study of Dentate Adults
BACKGROUND: Studies typically find that predisposing and enabling factors strongly predict dental utilization, but that need factors do not. However, few longitudinal studies have been conducted, and few have comprehensively measured dental need. OBJECTIVES: To describe the paradox of dental need, and to test three hypotheses regarding need and dental care use. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational study that included 873 persons who participat…
On Adding a Dental Practice Component to an Ongoing Longitudinal Population‐based Study of Oral Health
Although time intensive, this method of collecting data substantially increased information about dental treatment received, compared to relying on participant self-report and clinical examination
Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities in Oral Disadvantage, a Measure of Oral Health‐related Quality of Life
African Americans, females, rural residents, individuals who did not graduate from high school, individuals with limited financial resources, and problem-oriented dental attenders had significantly higher occurrences of oral disadvantage. Racial and sex disparities in oral disadvantage were largely explained by differences in approach to dental care and financial resources between these groups
Comparison of Two Methods of Estimating 48‐month Tooth Loss Incidence
Validity of self-reported incidence was excellent. The self-reported method allowed for semiannual estimates and was less resource intensive. Substantive conclusions about tooth loss using either method were similar, although validity did differ between persons with certain baseline characteristics
Mediators of Increased Physical Activity and Change in Subjective Well-being
The purpose of this study was to examine whether change in satisfaction with physical function (SF), satisfaction with physical appearance (SA), and self-efficacy (SE) mediate the effects that increased physical activity has on change in subjective well-being (SWB). Participants in this investigation consisted of 854 men ( n = 471) and women ( n = 383) who took part in the Activity Counseling Trial (ACT). ACT was a 24-month multicenter, randomize…
Association of gender with symptoms and complications in type II diabetes mellitus
Demographic and dietary determinants of constipation in the US population
We investigated the association between self-reported constipation and several demographic and dietary variables in 15,014 men and women 12-74 years of age examined between 1971-75 during the first Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Overall, 12.8 percent reported constipation. Self-reported constipation correlated poorly with stool frequency. Nine percent of those with daily stools and 30.6 percent of those with four to six stools/week, rep…
