Methods. During routine office visits, providers referred individual patients to the YMCA at no cost to the patient.

The Primary Care Physician Workforce in Massachusetts: Implications for the Workforce in Rural, Small Town America
Context: Small towns across the United States struggle to maintain an adequate primary care workforce. Purpose: To examine factors contributing to physician satisfaction and retention in largely rural areas in Massachusetts, a state with rural pockets and small towns. Methods: A survey mailed in 2004‐2005 to primary care physicians, practicing in areas designated by the state as rural, queried respondents about personal and practice characteristi…
The Power and the Promise: Working With Communities to Analyze Data, Interpret Findings, and Get to Outcomes
Although the intent of community-based participatory research (CBPR) is to include community voices in all phases of a research initiative, community partners appear less frequently engaged in data analysis and interpretation than in other research phases. Using 4 brief case studies, each with a different data collection methodology, we provide examples of how community members participated in data analysis, interpretation, or both, thereby stren…

The Visiting Specialist Model of Rural Health Care Delivery: A Survey in Massachusetts
Context: Hospitals in rural communities may seek to increase specialty care access by establishing clinics staffed by visiting specialists. Purpose: To examine the visiting specialist care delivery model in Massachusetts, including reasons specialists develop secondary rural practices and distances they travel, as well as their degree of satisfaction and intention to continue the visiting arrangement. Methods: Visiting specialists at 11 rural hos…
Healthy Communities: A Natural Ally for Community-Oriented Primary Care
As guest editors for the forum on community-oriented primary care (COPC) and as authors of an article that traces the conceptual roots of COPC and its proposed future role as an “important conceptual framework” for practice, Mullan and Epstein note the existence of various movements in health care that provide natural allies for COPC.1 We would like to suggest an additional ally—the Healthy Communities movement. Formulated almost 2 decades ago, t…

Quality of Acute Episodic Care in Investor-Owned Ambulatory Health Centers
This article examines the quality of acute episodic care for five diagnostic categories amenable to one-visit diagnosis and treatment at the nation's largest chain of investor-owned ambulatory care centers. A total of 803 medical records were audited for five common conditions and measured against specific protocols. In four of the five diagnostic categories studied--pharyngitis, otitis media, vaginitis, and use of tetanus immunization--42-97% of…
Changing Health Care Opinions in Regionville, 1946-1973
This study is a partial replication study of a community with the fictious name of Regionville which was first studied by E. L. Koos in the period 1946-50. In the present paper, we are concerned principally with that part having to do with the changing health care beliefs in this community. The indications are that: 1) there has been considerably liberalization of opinion, particularly among upper class respondents, in terms of issues relating to…
