  • Multilevel perceptions of the virtual delivery of the University of California Diabetes Prevention Program on RE-AIM domains due to Covid-19 mandates

    Open Access•Tamra Loeb, Tamra Burns Loeb et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2024

    Background The University of California’s Diabetes Prevention Program (UC DPP) Initiative was implemented across all 10 UC campuses in 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying mandates required swift changes to program delivery, including pivoting from in-person to virtual delivery (i.e., Zoom). Our goal was to assess multilevel constituent perceptions of the use of a virtual platform to deliver UC DPP due to COVID-19 mandates. Methods We con…

  • Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Prevention Outcomes: Insights from the Prediabetes Informed Decisions and Education Study

    Open Access•Yelba Castellon‐Lopez, O Kenrik Duru et al.•ARTICLE•Health Equity•2024

    Background: To achieve health equity, interventions should yield similar effectiveness across all patient subgroups. However, the adoption of diabetes prevention strategies and successful weight loss in "real-world" Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) translational studies have varied by race and ethnicity. We examined racial and ethnic differences in diabetes prevention outcomes among study participants from the Prediabetes Informed Decisions and …

  • Predictors of Out-of-ACO Care in the Medicare Shared Savings Program

    Maria A Han, Robin Clarke et al.•ARTICLE•Medical Care•2016•References: 9

    IMPORTANCE: Patients treated outside of their Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) accountable care organization (ACO) likely benefit less from the ACO's integration of care. Consequently, the MSSP's open-network design may preclude ACOs from improving value in care. OBJECTIVES: Quantify out-of-ACO care in a single urban ACO and examine associations between patient-level predictors and out-of-ACO expenditures. RESEARCH DESIGN: Secondary data an…

  • Evaluating the SF-36 Health Survey (Version 2) in Older Vietnamese Americans

    Open Access•Quyen Ngo‐Metzger, Quyen Ngo-Metzger et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Aging and Health•2008•Cited by: 3•References: 9

    As the older populations in the United States become more diverse, it is important to have standardized health-related quality of life measures. However, the conceptualization of physical and mental health and associations among different scales may be different for Asian immigrants than for other groups. Thus, the interpretation of the SF-36 scores needs to account for cultural differences

  • Is Cataract Surgery Cost-Effective Among Older Patients With a Low Predicted Probability for Improvement in Reported Visual Functioning

    Arash Naeim, Emmett B Keeler et al.•ARTICLE•Medical Care•2006•References: 34

    INTRODUCTION: Although cataract surgery has been demonstrated to be effective and cost-effective, 5% to 20% of patients do not benefit functionally from the procedure. This study examines the cost-effectiveness of cataract surgery versus watchful waiting in a subgroup of patients who had less than a 30% predicted probability of reporting improvements in visual function after surgery. METHODS: Randomized trial (first eye surgery vs. watchful waiti…

  • Development of the Activities of Daily Vision Scale: A Measure of Visual Functional Status

    Carol M Mangione, Richard S Phillips et al.•ARTICLE•Medical Care•1992

    To develop a method for the evaluation of visual function in subjects with cataracts, the authors identified 20 visual activities and categorized them into five subscales (distance vision, near vision, glare disability, night driving, and daytime driving) that comprised the Activities of Daily Vision Scale (ADVS). Each subscale in the ADVS was scored between 100 (no visual difficulty) and 0 (inability to perform the activity because of visual dif…
