Effects of an entertaining, culturally targeted narrative and an appealing expert interview on the colorectal screening intentions of African American women
Universal screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) is recommended for individuals 50–75 years of age, but screening uptake is suboptimal and African Americans have suffered persistent racial disparities in CRC incidence and deaths. We compared a culturally tailored fictional narrative and an engaging expert interview on the ability to increase intentions to be screened for CRC among African American women. In a post‐only experiment, women (N = 442) …
Fruit and Vegetable Dietary Behavior in Response to a Low‐Intensity Dietary Intervention
Context: Increased fruit and vegetable intake can reduce cancer risk. Information from this study contributes to research exploring health disparities in high‐risk dietary behavior. Purpose: Changes in fruit and vegetable behavior were evaluated to assess the effects of a low‐intensity, physician‐endorsed dietary intervention in a rural population. Methods: The study was a randomized trial of 754 patients from 3 physician practices in rural Virgi…
The Added Value of Claims for Cancer Surveillance
Medicare data represent a valid resource for supplementing state cancer registries in surveillance efforts. This potential is especially applicable to cancers predominantly diagnosed and treated outside the hospital setting
Using Medicare Data to Estimate the Number of Cases Missed by a Cancer Registry
We conclude that Medicare claims are useful to supplement a Registry, estimate the number of missing cases, and assess bias in capture
Factors that Determine the Treatment for Local and Regional Prostate Cancer
This article assesses the significance of comorbid and nonclinical factors in type of treatment received by elderly male patients with local-regional stage prostate cancer. Multivariate analysis of data from the Virginia Cancer Registry was linked to Medicare claim files, the Area Resource File, and 1990 Census Data. The type of initial treatment received was studied in 3117 men with local-regional staged prostate cancer diagnosed from 1985 to 19…

Implications of DRG Payments for Medical Intensive Care
Patients in the most prevalent DRGs in a Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) were compared with their counterparts who received only routine hospital care on adjusted total hospital costs and length of stay. Costs for both groups were compared with estimated DRG payments under an all-payer system. For patients in three DRGs, measures of severity of illness were examined as predictors of costs. Significant differences between MICU and routine care …
