Exploring Determinants of Surrogate Decision-Maker Confidence
This article is an exploratory data analysis of the determinants of confidence in a surrogate decision maker who has been asked to permit an intensive care unit (ICU) patient's participation in genetic research. We pursue the difference between surrogates' and patients' confidence that the surrogate can accurately represent the patient's wishes. The article also explores whether greater confidence leads to greater agreement between patients and s…
Considerations in the Construction of an Instrument to Assess Attitudes Regarding Critical Illness Gene Variation Research
Clinical studies conducted in intensive care units are associated with logistical and ethical challenges. Diseases investigated are precipitous and life-threatening, care is highly technological, and patients are often incapacitated and decision-making is provided by surrogates. These investigations increasingly involve collection of genetic data. The manner in which the exigencies of critical illness impact attitudes regarding genetic data colle…
Factors That Influence Practitioners' Interpretations of Evidence From Alternative Medicine Trials
BACKGROUND: Clinical trial evidence in controversial areas such as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) must be approached with an open mind. OBJECTIVE: To determine what factors may influence practitioners' interpretation of evidence from CAM trials. RESEARCH DESIGN: In a mailed survey of 2400 US CAM and conventional medicine practitioners we included 2 hypothetical factorial vignettes of positive and negative research results for CAM cl…
Do Characteristics of Hipaa Consent Forms Affect the Response Rate
OBJECTIVE: Under the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule, researchers are required to obtain written authorization from patients to gain access to protected health information. The purpose of this research was to examine how the characteristics of authorization forms used by hospitals affect the likelihood of consent. METHOD: This work reports on a recent telephone survey (administered January to August 2004) of p…
Complementary and Alternative Medical Therapy Use Among Chinese and Vietnamese Americans
Objective. We examined the use of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies among Chinese and Vietnamese Americans who had limited proficiency with the English language and explore the association between patient–clinician discussions about CAM therapy use and patient assessments of quality of care. Methods. We surveyed Chinese and Vietnamese Americans who visited 11 community health centers in 8 major cities throughout the United Sta…
Surveying Minorities with Limited-English Proficiency
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how modes of survey administration affect response rates and data quality among populations with limited-English proficiency (LEP). Asian Americans are a rapidly growing minority group with large numbers of LEP immigrants. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the response rates and data quality of interviewer-administered telephone and self-administered mail surveys among LEP Asian Americans. DESIGN: This was a random…

Reaching Children of the Uninsured and Underinsured in Two Rural Wisconsin Counties
Debates about the accessibility, costs, and coverages of health care for the population at large have recently accelerated. This paper addresses some of the demographic, health, and fiscal ramifications of creating a preventive health care bridge to children in uninsured and underinsured families in two rural Wisconsin counties. The study findings revealed that the initial health status of children making a preventive health visit under a minimal…
Verbal Consultation Regarding Prescription Drugs
In 1984 the Wisconsin Division of Health showed interest in patients' receipt of verbal consultation for prescription drugs and included relevant questions in the Wisconsin Health Status survey to: 1) investigate the receipt of verbal consultation for new and refill prescriptions, 2) allow a comparison of state results with those of a national study that used similar sampling and data collection procedures, and 3) more closely examine the relatio…
The Use of Female Spouse Proxies in Common Symptom Reporting
To determine the quality of proxy health reports by telephone the 1984 Wisconsin Health Status Survey employed a repeated-measure design in an interview covering 22 recently occurring health and psychologic complaints. Comparisons on individuals in households containing two or more adults revealed a relatively weak correspondence between the respondent and proxy reports. While a previous analysis of these data found that certain characteristics t…
Tracing Members of a Panel
This research was supported by a grant (NI-06275) from the National Institute of Nlental Health. William H. Sewell and Robert NI. Hauser were the principal investigators, and Taissa Hauser supervised the tracing and interviewing. The Wisconsin Survey Research Laboratory, Madison, conducted the telephone interviews. File management and computation were carried out at the Center for Demography and Ecology, University of Wisconsin, Niadison; this ce…
