Addressing Harmful Bias and Eliminating Discrimination in Health Professions Learning Environments
Eliminating health care disparities and advancing health equity are necessary steps to achieving a high-quality health care system.1,2 One approach to advancing not only equity but also diversity in the health care workforce is to mitigate harmful bias and eliminate discrimination in our health professions learning environments and clinical care sites. The 27 papers in this special supplement are intended to inform such efforts within and across …
Optimal Methods for Guideline Implementation
BACKGROUND: Quality problems in medical care are not a new finding. Variations in medical practice as well as actual medical errors have been pointed out for many decades. The current movement to write practice guidelines to attempt to correct these deviations from recommended medical practice has not solved the problem. OBJECTIVE: In order to gain greater acceptance of these guidelines and to change the behavior of health care providers, the sci…
Health Care Reform and Its Implications for Quality of Care
Health care reform packages are being designed primarily to address two important problems with the current U.S. health care system: access and cost. One component of the access problem is that 15% of the U.S. population is uninsured, and the other is that a substantial percentage of the insured U.S. population is concerned about the portability of its insurance coverage. One component of the cost problem is that many are concerned about the curr…

Improving influenza vaccination performance in an HMO setting
We evaluated a program for improving influenza immunization performance in a health maintenance organization (HMO). The HMO implemented several interventions successively from 1984-87: a postcard reminder to members at high risk for complications of influenza, a computer-generated reminder to the physician at the time of any primary care visit by high-risk patients, performance feedback to chiefs of service, and, finally, retrospective feedback t…
Risk Factors Accounting for Racial Differences in the Rate of Premature Births
Tubal infertility and the intrauterine device
Lack of association between contraceptive usage and congenital malformations in offspring
Previous reports have linked the use of oral contraceptives and spermicides to the occurrence of malformations in offspring. With information from 12,440 women interviewed during the delivery hospitalization we found no relationship between contraceptive method and the occurrence of malformations. Whereas any unnecessary drug should be avoided during pregnancy, prior contraceptive method seems to be unrelated to the risk of congenital malformatio…

The association of marijuana use with outcome of pregnancy
We analyzed interview and medical record data of 12,424 women to evaluate the relationship between marijuana usage and adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Low birthweight, short gestation, and major malformations occurred more often among offspring of marijuana users. When we used logistic regression to control for demographic characteristics, habits, and medical history data, these relationships were not statistically significant. The odds ratio for …

The association of alcohol consumption with outcome of pregnancy
Patterns of alcohol consumption were assessed in 12,440 pregnant women interviewed at the time of delivery. Only 92 women (0.7 per cent) reported drinking 14 or more drinks per week, with most consuming fewer than 21 drinks per week. In the crude data, alcohol intake of 14 or more drinks per week was associated with a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including low birthweight, gestational age under 37 weeks, stillbirth, and placenta abrupti…
Ectopic pregnancy and prior induced abortion
We compared the prior pregnancy histories of 85 multigravid women with an ectopic pregnancy and 498 multigravid delivery comparison subjects. We found a relationship between the number of prior induced abortions and the risk of ectopic pregnancy: the crude relative risk of ectopic pregnancy was 1.6 for women with one prior induced abortion and 4.0 for women with two or more prior induced abortions; however, use of multivariate techniques to contr…
