American Indian Veterans' Views about Their Choices in Health Care
Legislation during the past three decades has gradually drawn Indian Health Service (IHS)–funded clinics into the mainstream of the US medical care environment. The Indian Self-Determination and Education Reform Act of 1973 and its Indian Education Amendments of 1984 began a movement away from federal management of health services to local tribal control of the more than five hundred facilities serving American Indians. At the same time the India…
Racial/Ethnic Variations in Veterans’ Ambulatory Care Use
Objectives. We assessed racial/ethnic variations in patterns of ambulatory care use among Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care–eligible veterans to determine if racial/ethnic differences in health care use persist in equal-access systems. Methods. We surveyed 3227 male veterans about their health and ambulatory care use. Results. Thirty-eight percent of respondents had not had a health care visit in the previous 12 months. Black (odds …
Exploring the Diversity of Women Veterans' Identity to Improve the Delivery of Veterans' Health Services
This qualitative study explored the domains of gender, ethnicity, and military association in a population of women veterans as these domains related to the women's access to and use of health care services and assessed barriers to the use of health services and suggestions for improving them. The study found that a significant proportion of the participants had experienced some form of gender discrimination in the military, through segregation o…

Veteran Identity and Race/Ethnicity
BACKGROUND: "Veteran identity" is defined as veterans' self-concept that derives from his/her military experience within a sociohistorical context. Veteran identity may vary by race/ethnicity because the sociohistorical context of the military experience varies by race.

Patterns of Rehabilitation Utilization After Hip Fracture in Acute Hospitals and Skilled Nursing Facilities
BACKGROUND: Hospitalized hip fracture patients may receive physical therapy (PT) in acute and/or postacute settings. Patterns of PT use may vary by patient, clinical, and hospital characteristics. These patterns can be analyzed if the acute and postacute stays are linked. OBJECTIVES: We classified the following patterns of PT use: acute PT only, skilled nursing facility (SNF) PT only, acute and SNF PT, and no PT. For each pattern, we compared (1)…
Development of a brief scale to measure acculturation among Japanese Americans
Objective: To introduce a brief scale for measuring the level of acculturation among Japanese Americans and to describe its development and utility. We also evaluate the relationship of demographic characteristics with acculturation in one sample of Japanese Americans. Participants and Data Collection Methods: Pilot survey of a convenience sample of 70 Japanese American adults and survey of a random sample of 1,097 members of Japanese American Co…
Functional Status Outcomes in Rehabilitation
Previous studies have demonstrated that functional status is a significant predictor of resource utilization for rehabilitation patients. Before implementing a prospective payment system (PPS) for rehabilitation, it is important to first: 1) develop an underlying conceptual framework of rehabilitation resource use; and 2) understand how the role of functional status may vary by rehabilitation condition. In this study, a theoretical model of rehab…
