  • Gender and risk behaviors for HIV and sexually transmitted infections among recently released inmates

    Ingrid Binswanger, Ingrid A Binswanger et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Women in prison have a higher prevalence of HIV than men. After release from prison, former inmates have the opportunity to engage in risk behaviors for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We sought to assess change in risk behaviors over time and the association of gender with risk behavior in the postrelease period. In this prospective cohort study, we interviewed 200 former inmates (51 women) approximately two weeks (baseline…

We compared the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of population-based recall (Pop-recall) versus practice-based recall (PCP-recall) at increasing immunizations among preschool children. Methods. This cluster-randomized trial involved children aged 19 to 35 months needing immunizations in 8 rural and 6 urban Colorado counties. In Pop-recall counties, recall was conducted centrally using the Colorado Immunization Information System (…

We designed a community-based health kiosk program for English- and Spanish-speaking Latinos. Users receive personalized feedback on nutrition, physical activity, and smoking behaviors from computerized role models that guide them in establ…

  • The Influence of Patient Race and Social Vulnerability on Urologist Treatment Recommendations in Localized Prostate Carcinoma

    Thomas D Denberg, Fernando J Kim et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006References: 25

    BACKGROUND: In localized prostate carcinoma (PCa), many studies have found that black subjects receive radical prostatectomy (RP) less often than white subjects. Such disparities involve barriers to health care, comorbid illnesses, tumor characteristics, and patient preferences. It is unclear whether differences in urologist treatment recommendations also might play a role. METHODS: Using a randomized, 2 x 2 factorial design, we presented 2000 ur…

  • The Regional Immunization Registry as a Public Health Tool for Improving Clinical Practice and Guiding Immunization Delivery Policy

    Allison Kempe, Brenda L Beaty et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2004Cited by: 3References: 15

    Objectives. We assessed the distribution of immunization records among 3 health care delivery sectors and the impact of a regional immunization registry on “up to date” rates. Methods. Immunization registry records in 2 regions were categorized as having originated in private practices, community health centers, or public health clinics. “Up to date” rates were calculated after we sequentially added immunization records from the 3 sectors. Result…
