Substance Use and Mental Health Among a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group in Karnataka
Culturally sensitive and community-led documentation may provide a more accurate account of the level of substance use among this tribal population
Risk factors for melioidosis in Udupi District, Karnataka, India, January 2017-July 2018
We initiated an epidemiological investigation following the death of a previously healthy 17 year-old boy with neuro-melioidosis. A case was defined as a culture-confirmed melioidosis patient from Udupi district admitted to hospital A from January 2013—July 2018. For the case control study, we enrolled a subset of cases admitted to hospital A from January 2017- July 2018. A control was resident of Udupi district admitted to hospital A in July 201…
Multiplexed technologies for sexually transmitted infections
Introduction Conventional care packages around screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) entail multiple clinic visits and precipitate losses to follow-up. To prevent these losses, multiplexed technologies for STIs (immunochromatographic tests/devices/assays and molecular assays that can screen multiple pathogens or multiple strains of one STI) can yield same-day results in a single visit. Research evidence of patient-centred (preferen…
Impact of oral health service expansion funding at health centers in the United States
Funding dedicated to oral health service expansion in HCs may result in outcomes ranging from increasing workforce to reduction in access and financial barriers. Retrospective analysis demonstrated improved capacity for oral healthcare delivery attributable to HRSA support to HCs
HRSA-funded Health Centers Are an Important Source of Care and Reduce Unmet Needs in Primary Care Services
BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates the unmet need for primary care services including medical, mental health, and dental care is greater among uninsured and Medicaid beneficiaries than privately insured individuals, many of whom use Health Resources and Services Administration-funded health centers (HRSA HCs). OBJECTIVE: We examined differences in rates of unmet need between low-income uninsured and Medicaid patients of HRSA HCs and safety-net clinic…
The Association of Patient-centered Medical Home Designation With Quality of Care of HRSA-funded Health Centers
OBJECTIVES: (1) To evaluate the relationship between Patient-centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition and quality of clinical care among health centers, and (2) to determine whether the duration of recognition is positively associated with cumulative quality improvement over time. METHODS: Data came from the 2012 to 2015 Uniform Data System, health centers' PCMH recognition status, and the Area Resource File. Health center was the unit of observa…
The association between dental, general, and mental health status among underserved and vulnerable populations served at health centers in the US
The results highlight the role of health centers in addressing oral health disparities among vulnerable populations and the importance of a team-based multidisciplinary approach to ensuring the integration and coordination of oral health services within a comprehensive primary care delivery system
Primary Care and Public Health Activities in Select US Health Centers
Objectives. We examined primary care and public health activities among federally funded health centers, to better understand their successes, the barriers encountered, and the lessons learned. Methods. We used qualitative and quantitative methods to collect data from 9 health centers, stratified by administrative division, urban–rural location, and race/ethnicity of patients served. Descriptive data on patient and institutional characteristics c…
P2-211 A targeted intervention to promote breast cancer screening among rural women in Coastal Karnataka, India
Introduction Breast Cancer is the second common cancer among women in India and nearly 21% of the women, who develop the disease, die within the first year of diagnosis. Lack of awareness and facilities for early detection and treatment are some of the reasons for this. The rural field Practice area of a tertiary care teaching hospital is the setting for this study wherein a community based intervention was initiated to promote breast cancer scre…
