Nonprofit ‐ Led Neoliberal Growth Machines and the Privatization of Community Engagement
We analyze the development of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago as the product of a new kind of urban growth machine—a nonprofit‐led neoliberal growth machine. Building on studies of nonprofit‐led urban development as well as research on CBA‐driven opposition, we reconstruct how an Obama Foundation‐led growth machine was able to dominate pre‐development planning, privatize public parkland and mount its own private community engagement proc…
Using Community Feedback to Inform Strategies for Inclusive Participation in Research
Covid-19 Knowledge, Beliefs, and Behavior Among Patients in a Safety-Net Health System
Assessment of Oral Chemotherapy Nonadherence in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients Using Brief Measures in Community Cancer Clinics
The purpose of this pilot study was to assess Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients' adherence to, beliefs about, and barriers to oral anticancer agents (OAC) using brief self-report measures in community-based cancer clinics. Patients completed a structured interview including a health literacy assessment, a Brief Medication Questionnaire, two single-item self-report adherence questions, and the Medications Adherence Reasons Scale. Of the 86 p…
Repeat Annual Colorectal Cancer Screening in Rural Community Clinics
Sustaining CRC screening with FIT is challenging in rural clinics. A lower cost automated call was just as effective as the personal call in promoting repeat annual screening. However, more intensive strategies are needed to improve long-term FIT screening among rural participants
Third Annual Fecal Occult Blood Testing in Community Health Clinics
All mailed interventions were similarly effective in sustaining rates of FOBT screening. Post hoc analyses of the results analyzed by health literacy skills found that patients with both limited and adequate health literacy skills were more likely to complete FOBTs when mailed simplified instructions
Disease-related distress, self-care and clinical outcomes among low-income patients with diabetes
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of diabetes distress and its relationship with health behaviours and clinical outcomes in low-income patients. METHODS: Secondary analyses were conducted using baseline data from a clinical trial evaluating a diabetes self-management intervention. Interviews were conducted with 666 participants receiving care at nine safety net clinics in Missouri. Distress was measured using th…
Comparative Effectiveness of Patient-centered Strategies to Improve FDA Medication Guides
BACKGROUND: Med Guides are the only Food and Drug Administration-regulated source of written patient information distributed with prescriptions drugs. Despite their potential value, studies have found them to have limited utility. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of patient-centered strategies for the design of Med Guides to improve comprehension. DESIGN: A cross-sectional, randomized trial. SETTING: Two primary care clinics in Chicago, I…
Potentially Preventable Use of Emergency Services
BACKGROUND: Limited health literacy is a barrier for understanding health information and has been identified as a risk factor for overuse of the emergency department (ED). The association of health literacy with access to primary care services in patients presenting to the ED has not been fully explored. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between health literacy, access to primary care, and reasons for ED use among adults presenting for emer…
Fobt Completion in FQHCs
Purpose: To determine the effect of common components of primary care‐based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening interventions on fecal occult blood test (FOBT) completion within rural and urban community clinics, including: (1) physician's spoken recommendation, (2) providing information or education about FOBTs, and (3) physician providing the FOBT kit; to determine the relative effect of these interventions; and to compare the effect of each inte…
Contrasts in Rural and Urban Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening
Interventions are needed to increase screening recommendation, education and completion, particularly in rural areas
Effect of Standardized, Patient-Centered Label Instructions to Improve Comprehension of Prescription Drug Use
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of standardized, patient-centered label (PCL) instructions to improve comprehension of prescription drug use compared with typical instructions. METHODS: A total of 500 adult patients recruited from 2 academic and 2 community primary care clinics in Chicago, IL and Shreveport, LA were assigned to receive as follows: (1) standard prescription instructions written as times per day (once, twice 3 times per da…
Health Literacy
The concept of health literacy evolved from a history of defining, redefining, and quantifying the functional literacy needs of the adult population. Along with these changes has come the recognition that sophisticated literacy skills are increasingly needed to function in society and that low literacy may have an effect on health and health care. We present a brief history of literacy in the United States, followed by a discussion of the origins…
Health Literacy in the Context of HIV Treatment
Facilitating Behavior Change With Low-literacy Patient Education Materials
Developing low-literacy health education materials that will activate patients toward healthier behaviors requires attention to factors beyond reading level
Measuring Adult Literacy in Health Care
Development and Validation of a Short-Form, Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine
BACKGROUND: Although prior studies used the 66-item Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM instrument) for literacy assessment, researchers may require a shorter, validated instrument when designing interventions for clinical contexts. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a very brief literacy assessment tool, the REALM-Short Form (REALM-SF). PATIENTS: The model development, validation, and field testing validation samples included 133…
Social Stigma Concerns and HIV Medication Adherence
The threat of social stigma may prevent people living with HIV from revealing their status to others and serve as a barrier to HIV treatment adherence. We evaluated the effect of such concerns on self-reported treatment adherence using a short, three-item measure among 204 people living with HIV. Overall, the mean age of participants was 40.1 years, 45% were African American, and 80% were male. People with high HIV stigma concerns were 2.5 times …
Relation between literacy and HIV treatment knowledge among patients on Haart regimens
Successful management of HIV requires patient understanding and ability to act on treatment information. We examined the relationship between patient literacy and understanding of HIV treatment. Literacy, knowledge of CD4 count and viral load, and correct identification of HIV medications in regimen were evaluated in 204 patients receiving care in Shreveport, Louisiana and Chicago, Illinois. One-third of patients had limited literacy skills. Thes…
The Forms of Collective Racial Violence
Explanations for collective racial violence in America and Britain can be classified into three: communal disorder, political contention and class struggle. The first portrays rioting as the expressive acts of aggrieved but disorganized groups, the second as instrumental action by new contenders for political power and the third as authentic class rebellion based upon socially cohesive communities. The areas of disagreement between these three ar…
