Medical Scholarships Linked to Mandatory Service: The Nepal Experience
Introduction: Nepal has one of the world's lowest physician to population ratios, with a critical shortage of rural physicians. The Nepal Government uses the private sector to address this shortage of rural physicians. All private medical colleges must offer total scholarships, free of cost, to a proportion of their annual MBBS student intake. These scholarships come with a compulsory two-year service contract, which must be completed at public h…
Characteristics of Insured Patients With Persistent Gaps in Diabetes Care Services: The Translating Research into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD) Study
BACKGROUND: Although preventing diabetes complications requires long-term management, little is known about which patients persistently fail to get recommended care. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency and correlates of persistent, long-term gaps in diabetes care. METHOD: : The study population included 8392 patients with diabetes. Patient surveys and medical records from 10 health plans over 3 years provided data on socioeconomic characteristi…
Identifying Risk Factors for Racial Disparities in Diabetes Outcomes: The Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes Study
BACKGROUND: Versus whites, blacks with diabetes have poorer control of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), and higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as well as higher rates of morbidity and microvascular complications. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether several mutable risk factors were more strongly associated with poor control of multiple intermediate outcomes among blacks with diabetes than among similar whites.…
Understanding the Gap Between Good Processes of Diabetes Care and Poor Intermediate Outcomes: Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD)
BACKGROUND: Performance of diabetes clinical care processes has improved recently, but control of hemoglobin A1c (A1c) and other vascular disease risk factors has improved more slowly. OBJECTIVES: To identify patient factors associated with control of vascular disease risk factors among diabetes patients receiving recommended care processes. POPULATION: Managed care enrollees who participated in the TRIAD (Translating Research into Action for Dia…
The Association Between Clinical Care Strategies and the Attenuation of Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Care: The Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD) Study
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether greater implementation of clinical care strategies in managed care is associated with attenuation of known racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Using cross-sectional data, we examined the quality of diabetes care as measured by frequencies of process delivery as well as medication management of intermediate outcomes, for 7426 black, Latinos, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and…
Health Behaviors and Quality of Care Among Latinos With Diabetes in Managed Care
Objectives. We evaluated whether ethnicity and language are associated with diabetes care for Latinos in managed care. Methods. Using data from 4685 individuals in the Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD) Study, a multicenter study of diabetes care in managed care, we constructed multivariate regression models to compare health behaviors, processes of care, and intermediate outcomes for Whites and English- and Spanish-speaking La…
Determinants of US local health department expenditures, 1992 through 1993
OBJECTIVES: This study examined local health department expenditures and their relationship to several departmental characteristics, including the size of the population in the department's jurisdiction. METHODS: Local health department characteristics were obtained from a 1992/93 nationwide mail survey and modeled by means of multiple linear regression. RESULTS: Great variability existed in the per capita expenditures of local health departments…
