Recognition of Osteoporosis by Primary Care Physicians
Objectives. This study explored the recognition and treatment of osteoporosis and vertebral fracture among older women by primary care physicians. Methods. Data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 1993 to 1997 were examined for evidence of diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis or vertebral fracture during visits by White women 60 years and older to primary care physicians. Results. Fewer than 2% of the women received diagnoses…
Medicare Treatment Differences for Blacks and Whites
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated racial differences in procedure use among elderly Medicare beneficiaries. It is hypothesized that providers do not discriminate inappropriately in treating black and white patients and that the apparent differences in black-white treatment could be attributed to other differences between the two populations. METHODS: Rates of use for selected procedures were examined among two patient groups: (1) the universe o…
Functional versus Structural Social Support and Health Care Utilization in a Family Medicine Outpatient Practice
Three hundred forty-three family-practice patients were surveyed by questionnaire and medical record audit to evaluate the relationships between social support and medical care utilization. Social support was not associated with laboratory test ordering. The mean number of office visits per year was higher for patients with low versus high confidant support (4.71 vs. 3.81, P less than 0.10) and affective support (5.21 vs. 3.60, P less than 0.05).…
The Duke???UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire
A 14-item, self-administered, multidimensional, functional social support questionnaire was designed and evaluated on 401 patients attending a family medicine clinic. Patients were selected from randomized time-frame sampling blocks during regular office hours. The population was predominantly white, female, married, and under age 45. Eleven items remained after test-retest reliability was assessed over a 1- to 4-week follow-up period. Factor ana…
Improving Drug Prescribing in a Primary Care Practice
A model for improving physician prescribing that utilizes computerized feedback was studied in a family medicine residency practice. Resident and faculty physicians were stratified by level of experience and randomized into two groups. For 9 months the experimental group received monthly printouts identifying drugs they had prescribed by brand name with estimates of cost savings that might have been realized by prescribing generic drugs. The cont…

The Duke-UNC Health Profile
The Duke--UNC Health Profile (DUHP) was developed as a brief 63-item instrument designed to measure adult health status in the primary care setting along four dimensions: symptom status, physical function, emotional function and social function. Reliability and validity were tested on a group of 395 ambulatory patients in a family medicine center. Temporal stability Spearman correlations ranged from 0.52 to 0.82 for the four dimensions. Cronbach'…
Improving Hypertension Control
Two interventions designed to help physicians manage hypertensive patients were evaluated in a controlled trial: 1) computer-generated feedback to facilitate identification of poorly controlled patients; and 2) a physician education program on clinical management strategies, emphasizing patient compliance. Four physician practice teams received either computer feedback, the education program, both, or neither. Feedback team physicians received se…
