Perceptions of Equipoise, Risk–Benefit Ratios, and “Otherwise Healthy Volunteers” in the Context of Early-Phase HIV Cure Research in the United States
Early-phase HIV cure research is conducted against a background of highly effective antiretroviral therapy, and involves risky interventions in individuals who enjoy an almost normal life expectancy. To explore perceptions of three ethical topics in the context of HIV cure research-(a) equipoise, (b) risk-benefit ratios, and (c) "otherwise healthy volunteers"-we conducted 36 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with three groups of purposively selected key…
Correlates of women’s intentions to be screened for human papillomavirus for cervical cancer screening with an extended interval
Acceptability of increased screening intervals and starting age could be improved through enhanced education of benefits. Program planners should consider measures to assess and improve women's knowledge, attitudes and beliefs prior to the implementation of new screening programs to avoid unintended consequences
Women’s intentions to self-collect samples for human papillomavirus testing in an organized cervical cancer screening program
The primary predictor of a woman's intention to HPV self-collect for cervical cancer screening was her attitude towards the procedure. From a program planning perspective, these results indicate that education and awareness may be significant contributing factors to improving acceptance of self-collection and subsequently, improving screening attendance rates
The Association of Changes in Local Health Department Resources With Changes in State-Level Health Outcomes
We explored the association between changes in local health department (LHD) resource levels with changes in health outcomes via a retrospective cohort study. We measured changes in expenditures and staffing reported by LHDs on the 1997 and 2005 National Association of County and City Health Officials surveys and assessed changes in state-level health outcomes with the America's Health Rankings reports for those years. We used pairwise correlatio…
Cost Sharing and Its Effects on Hospital Utilization
A natural movement away from traditional first-dollar health care benefits to coverage with cost-sharing features was studied among employer groups covered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina. The groups choosing the new benefits were atypical: they had a record of high rates of hospitalization. The new benefits were successful in shifting part of the financial burden away from the employer and, additionally, the groups collectively e…

Frequency of hospitalization among hospital employees and their families
Using claims data from 443 employee groups in North Carolina, this study examines the acute care hospital utilization rates of hospital employees and their dependents and compares them to employee groups in non-hospital settings. Results show that hospital employee groups account for 28 per cent more hospital days than non-hospital employee groups. The significantly higher rates are due primarily to employee utilization, although hospital employe…
Racial Differences in Medical Care Expenditures
Out of pocket medical expenditures made by families for physician services, dental visits, medications, hospitalizations and insurance premiums are examined in a southern rural community using household survey interview data. White families paid an average out of pocket amount for total medical services of $709 as compared with $383 for black families over a 12-month period, 1974-75. Correlates of expenditure differences between blacks and whites…
Distribution of Illnesses and Its Implications in a Rural Community
This study is a continuation of a series of reports on the utilization of health care services in a southern rural community. In this investigation the distribution of the utilization of medical care services is assessed with respect to reported illnesses and related disabilities. It is found that whites report significantly more illnesses, disabilities and physicians visits than blacks. Furthermore, even when controlling for disability and illne…
Pro Bono Publico--a century later
From the introduction of Pro Bono Publico smoking tobacco in Durham, NC a century ago, the production of tobacco products has become a vital part of the state's economy. How this may relate to the smoking behavior, and consequently to the health of its residents is assessed from smoking patterns of adult residents of a rural area of Durham County. Male smoking rates are considerably higher than U.S. estimates whereas female rates are lower. The n…
Access to Health Care in a Southern Rural Community
This case study of utilization of health care services in a rural southern community is the first of a series of reports dealing with access to care in this community. The most striking findings were the low utilization of physician and dental services compared with national standards (particularly by the black population) and the infrequent use of private physicians by blacks. Possible explanations for these findings are the short time interval …
