Factors Associated with Trust and Likelihood of Participation in Pandemic-Related Clinical Trials Among Blacks in the U.S. Deep South

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this phenomenon at a time when distrust of the medical community was high. This study evaluated the likelihood of participation in a COVID-19 clinical trial among Black residents in urban and rural counties in the State of Alabama. From 3 counties, 296 participants were querie…

Impact of an Emergency Department-to-Home Transitional Care Intervention on Health Service Use in Medicare Beneficiaries: A Mixed Methods Study
BACKGROUND: Hospital-based acute care [emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations] that is preventable with high-quality outpatient care contributes to health care system waste and patient harm. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that an ED-to-home transitional care intervention reduces hospital-based acute care in chronically ill, older ED visitors. RESEARCH DESIGN: Convergent, parallel, mixed-methods design including a randomized cont…
Enhancing Transitions From Rehabilitation Patient to Wellness Participant for People With Disabilities: An Opportunity for Hospital Community Benefit
Pressure is increasing on not-for-profit hospitals to demonstrate that they provide sufficient benefit to the community to justify their tax-exempt status. Many industry observers have suggested that this community benefit should address unmet medical needs within the community, deficits in the social determinants of health, or health disparities within communities. We argue that one area of clear unmet need is assistance in helping bridge the tr…

The association of health literacy with access to primary care services in patients presenting to the ED has not been fully explored. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between health literacy, access to primary care, and reasons for ED use among adults presenting for emer…

Lapses in Medicaid Coverage: Impact on Cost and Utilization Among Individuals With Diabetes Enrolled in Medicaid
BACKGROUND: Gaps in Medicaid coverage can result in inadequate access to care. This can be particularly detrimental to those with a chronic disease such as diabetes. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a lapse in Medicaid coverage is associated with an increase in expenditures, and acute care utilization upon reenrollment among beneficiaries with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using multivariate regression analyses, we compared pre- versus post-expenditures…
Variations in Health Insurance Coverage for Rural and Urban Nonelderly Adult Residents of Florida, Indiana, and Kansas
