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…
Depression and Anxiety in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease
OBJECTIVE: Depression and anxiety are common in sickle cell disease (SCD) but relatively little is known about their impact on SCD adults. This study measured prevalence of depression and anxiety in SCD adults, and their effects on crisis and noncrisis pain, quality-of-life, opioid usage, and healthcare utilization. METHODS: The Pain in Sickle Cell Epidemiology Study is a prospective cohort study in 308 SCD adults. Baseline variables included dem…
Parental Smoking, Closeness to Parents, and Youth Smoking
Addressing parent smoking and strengthening family relationships need significantly greater emphasis in interventions to further reduce youth smoking
Physicians' Judgments of the Risks of Cardiac Procedures
OBJECTIVES: The authors compared judgments of the population risks of invasive cardiac procedures made by cardiologists and other internal medicine physicians. Our main hypotheses were that cardiologists' judgments would differ from those made by the other physicians and that cardiologists' judgments would be more accurate than those of other physicians. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey of senior staff and physician-trainees at two teac…
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 …
