Improving Adolescent Health Risk Assessment: A Multi-method Pilot Study
Objectives Given poor compliance by providers with adolescent health risk assessment (HRA) in primary care, we describe the development and feasibility of using a health information technology (HIT)-enhanced HRA to improve the frequency of HRAs in diverse clinical settings, asking adolescents' recall of quality of care as a primary outcome. Methods We conducted focus groups and surveys with key stakeholders (Phase I) , including adolescents, clin…
Determinants of First-Time Cancer Examinations in a Rural Community: A Mechanism for Behavior Change
Objectives. After conducting a media campaign focusing on the importance of oral and pharyngeal cancer (OPC) examinations, we assessed mechanisms of behavior change among individuals receiving an OPC examination for the first time. Methods. We used data from 2 waves of telephone surveys of individuals residing in 36 rural census tracts in northern Florida (n = 806). The second survey occurred after our media intervention. We developed media messa…
Quality of Care for Chronic Conditions Among Disabled Medicaid Enrollees: An Evaluation of a 1915 (b) and (c) Waiver Program
IMPORTANCE: Examining the impact of Medicaid-managed care home-based and community-based service (HCBS) alternatives to institutional care is critical given the recent rapid expansion of these models nationally. OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the effects of STAR+PLUS, a Texas Medicaid-managed care HCBS waiver program for adults with disabilities on the quality of chronic disease care. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We compared quality before and afte…
Health Literacy: A Pathway to Better Oral Health
Objectives. We examined whether health literacy was associated with self-rated oral health status and whether the relationship was mediated by patient–dentist communication and dental care patterns. Methods. We tested a path model with data collected from 2 waves of telephone surveys (baseline, 2009–2010; follow-up, 2011) of individuals residing in 36 rural census tracts in northern Florida (final sample size n = 1799). Results. Higher levels of …
Disparities in Knowledge of Mouth or Throat Cancer Among Rural Floridians
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine risk factors for reduced mouth or throat cancer (MTC) knowledge using a sample of rural North Floridian adults. METHODS: Telephone interviews were conducted across rural census tracts throughout North Florida in 2009-2010, using a survey adapted for cultural appropriateness. The sample consisted of 2,393 individuals (1,059 males and 1,334 females; 1,681 whites and 712 blacks). FINDINGS: Only 9% of t…
The burden of chronic diseases in a rural North Florida sample
The findings presented in this paper are derived from one of only a few studies examining patterns of chronic disease among residents of both a rural and lower income geographic region. Overall, the prevalence of these conditions compared to the state and nation as a whole is elevated and calls for increased attention and tailored public health interventions
Psychosocial Factors Associated With Mouth and Throat Cancer Examinations in Rural Florida
Objectives. We examined the knowledge and prevalence of mouth and throat cancer examinations in a sample drawn from rural populations in north Florida. Methods. Telephone interviews were conducted across rural census tracts throughout north Florida in 2009 and 2010, in a survey that had been adapted for cultural appropriateness using cognitive interviews. The sample consisted of 2526 respondents (1132 men and 1394 women; 1797 Whites and 729 Afric…
An R 2 statistic for fixed effects in the linear mixed model
Statisticians most often use the linear mixed model to analyze Gaussian longitudinal data. The value and familiarity of the R 2 statistic in the linear univariate model naturally creates great interest in extending it to the linear mixed model. We define and describe how to compute a model R 2 statistic for the linear mixed model by using only a single model. The proposed R 2 statistic measures multivariate association between the repeated outcom…
