Relationships between Beer, Wine, and Spirits Consumption and Suicide Rates in U.S. States from 1977 to 1988
Relationships between alcohol consumption and suicide rates were examined through an ecological study. Data on total apparent per capita alcohol consumption, as well as beer, wine, and spirits consumption, from 1977 to 1988 in each of the fifty U.S. states and District of Columbia were compared with suicide rates. It was found that total alcohol consumption was weakly but significantly related to suicide rate by univariate analysis ( r = 0.16, p
Assessing Adherence to Asthma Medication and Inhaler Regimens
Poor adherence to recommended regimens is a substantial problem in the clinical management of adults with asthma and other chronic diseases. Research on adherence assessment is complicated by methodological difficulties including limitations associated with the use of self-report measures. In this study, psychometric techniques were used to analyze two self-report scales for assessing adherence to recommended medication and inhaler use regimens i…
Evaluation of the efficacy and cost effectiveness of health education methods to increase medication adherence among adults with asthma
We randomized 135 adult asthma patients to a control group, and 132 patients to an experimental group which received a special health education intervention. Four adherence measures were documented at baseline and 12-month follow-up: correct inhaler use, inhaler adherence, medication adherence, and total adherence rating. Costs to routinely deliver the intervention were $32.03/patient. Experimental group patients exhibited a significantly higher …
Subjective symptomatology of asthma in an outpatient population
Characteristics of subjective symptomatology of asthma were examined within a group of 132 adult asthma patients receiving medical care in a university-based, ambulatory clinic setting. Patients responded to 36 symptom descriptions or adjectives associated with asthma which were included in a modified version of the Asthma Symptoms Checklist (ASC). A principal components exploratory factor analysis was conducted and five factors were identified. …
