Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Joint Effect of Edentulism and Diabetes on All‐Cause Mortality Risks
DM and edentulism pose an additive risk for mortality in Whites, and there are racial/ethnic differences in edentulism-related mortality
Implementation fidelity to a behavioral diabetes prevention intervention in two New York City safety net primary care practices
The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on 30/12/2016 and the registration number is NCT03006666
Discharge Communication
PURPOSE: To characterize residents' practices around hospital discharge communication and their exposure to transitions-of-care instruction in graduate medical education (GME). METHOD: In 2019, internal medicine residents at 7 academic medical centers completed a cross-sectional survey reporting the types of transitions-of-care instruction they experienced during GME training and the frequency with which they performed 6 key discharge communicati…
Protocol for the CHORD project (community health outreach to reduce diabetes)
Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03006666 (Received 12/27/2016)
Phenology
Phenology refers to the scientific study of recurring plant and animal life cycle stages, especially their timing and relationships with weather and climate. Examples would include the opening of leaf buds on a shrub, the beginning of autumn leaf color on a tree, or the first appearance of a migratory bird species in spring. The timings of many of these phenomena can be quite sensitive to small changes in environmental conditions, such as air or …
Patient–physician racial/ethnic concordance and blood pressure control
Patient trust may influence medication adherence and BP control regardless of patient-physician racial/ethnic composition
Training Physician Investigators in Medicine and Public Health Research
Objectives. We have described and evaluated the impact of a unique fellowship program designed to train postdoctoral, physician fellows in research at the interface of medicine and public health. Methods. We developed a rigorous curriculum in public health content and research methods and fostered linkages with research mentors and local public health agencies. Didactic training provided the foundation for fellows’ mentored research initiatives, …
Motivation-based intervention to promote colonoscopy screening
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates have been low despite effectiveness of screening in reducing CRC mortality. This article outlines the theoretical background and development of an innovative, telephone-based risk communication designed to promote screening among individuals at increased risk for familial CRC. This ongoing intervention integrates the Extended Parallel Process Model of fear management and the motivational interviewing counse…
Using Bedside Rounds to Teach Communication Skills in the Internal Medicine Clerkship
The curriculum appears to be a successful way to reinforce core communication skills and practice common challenging situations students encounter during the Internal Medicine Clerkship
Clever Nihilism
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) educators are often confronted with learners who use their new critical appraisal skills to dismiss much of the medical literature. Does this cynical attitude of "clever nihilism" affect educational outcomes, such that educators need to tailor their curricula to these learners? The authors proposed that this critical skepticism may be an intermediate developmental stage for EBM learners as they progress from "naïve e…
Teaching Communication Skills on the Surgery Clerkship
Communication skills teaching can be implemented in the surgery clerkship, and surgeons are particularly well suited to teach about patient education, discussing informed consent and shared decision making, and delivering bad news. Structured case-based sessions are acceptable to, and improve the self-assessed skills of, surgery clerkship students. Faculty development geared toward such sessions has added benefits to educational activities in a c…
Institutional Barriers to Providing Oral Health Services for Underserved Populations in New York City
Access to oral health care remains a large problem for the underserved. Institutional barriers will need to be addressed to close the gap
A randomized trial of breast cancer risk counseling
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the impact of individualized breast cancer risk counseling on mammography use among women at risk for breast cancer. METHODS: Participants (n = 508) were randomized to the breast cancer risk counseling intervention or a general health education control intervention, and 85% completed follow-up. RESULTS: In multivariate modeling, a significant group-by-education interaction demonstrated that among less-educated participant…
Refining the Measurement of Physician Job Satisfaction
BACKGROUND: Physician job satisfaction has been linked to various patient care and health system outcomes. A survey instrument that concisely measures physicians' satisfaction with various job facets can help diverse stake-holders to better understand and manage these outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To document the development and validation of a multidimensional physician job satisfaction measure and separate global satisfaction measures. DESIGN: Self-admi…
Measuring Physician Job Satisfaction in a Changing Workplace and a Challenging Environment
BACKGROUND: Changes in the demographic, specialty, and employment sector composition of medicine have altered physicians' jobs, limiting autonomy and reducing morale. Because physician job satisfaction has been linked to clinical variables, better measurement might help to ameliorate conditions linked to medical disaffection, possibly improving health care. OBJECTIVE: To document conceptual development, item construction, and use of content exper…
Detecting Structural Climate Change
Empirical climate change studies are more beneficial when they go beyond simply reporting fluctuations in average temperature. Ideally, dynamic causes of the change should also be addressed. This strategy allows conceptual models of the associated physical-change mechanisms to be developed. The analysis of air masses can play a central role in this approach. Changes in their distribution and characteristics point to modifications in the mid-latit…
