Numbers Ain’t Neutral: A QuantCrit Analysis of the Relationship Among Stereotype Threat, Threat Mitigation, and Identity Safety
Stakeholder Perspectives on Returning Nonactionable Apolipoprotein L1 (Apol1) Genetic Results to African American Research Participants
Conclusions: APOL1 results should be offered to participants. Responsibly fulfilling this offer requires careful identification of best communication practices, broader education about the topic, and ongoing community engagement
Goal-Striving Stress Is Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease Among Participants in the Jackson Heart Study
State Firearm Legislation and Nonfatal Firearm Injuries
Objectives. We investigated whether stricter state-level firearm legislation was associated with lower hospital discharge rates for nonfatal firearm injuries. Methods. We estimated discharge rates for hospitalized and emergency department–treated nonfatal firearm injuries in 18 states in 2010 and used negative binomial regression to determine whether strength of state firearm legislation was independently associated with total nonfatal firearm in…
Improving Confidence for Self Care in Patients with Depression and Chronic Illnesses
The aim of this study was to examine whether patients who received a multicondition collaborative care intervention for chronic illnesses and depression had greater improvement in self-care knowledge and efficacy, and whether greater knowledge and self-efficacy was positively associated with improved target outcomes. A randomized controlled trial with 214 patients with comorbid depression and poorly controlled diabetes and/or coronary heart disea…
Correlates of Patient-Reported Racial/Ethnic Health Care Discrimination in the Diabetes Study of Northern California (Distance)
In addition to race/ethnicity, health literacy and English proficiency may be bases of discrimination. Evaluation is needed to determine whether patients are treated differently or more apt to perceive discrimination, and whether depression fosters and/or follows perceived discrimination
Collaborative Care for Patients with Depression and Chronic Illnesses
BACKGROUND: Patients with depression and poorly controlled diabetes, coronary heart disease, or both have an increased risk of adverse outcomes and high health care costs. We conducted a study to determine whether coordinated care management of multiple conditions improves disease control in these patients. METHODS: We conducted a single-blind, randomized, controlled trial in 14 primary care clinics in an integrated health care system in Washingt…
Physician support for diabetes patients and clinical outcomes
This observational study suggests that, in community practice settings, physician differences in practical support may influence glycemic control outcomes among patients with diabetes
A Refill Adherence Algorithm for Multiple Short Intervals to Estimate Refill Compliance (ReComp)
BACKGROUND: There are many measures of refill adherence available, but few have been designed or validated for use with repeated measures designs and short observation periods. OBJECTIVE: To design a refill-based adherence algorithm suitable for short observation periods, and compare it to 2 reference measures. METHODS: A single composite algorithm incorporating information on both medication gaps and oversupply was created. Electronic Veterans A…
The Association of Patient Relationship Style and Outcomes in Collaborative Care Treatment for Depression in Patients With Diabetes
PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether relationship style in patients with diabetes receiving depression treatment is associated with differential quality of care and depression outcomes. METHODS: From 9 health maintenance organization clinics, 324 primary care patients with diabetes and comorbid major depression and/or dysthymia participated in the Pathways randomized controlled trial of collaborative care for depression (n = 160) versus usual …
