Establishing a Health Equity Office
Objectives: The Pediatric Health Equity Collaborative (PHEC) set out to describe the best practices for establishing a health equity-focused office within a clinical setting. Study Design: Survey and in-depth interviews of the members of the PHEC comprised pediatric care delivery systems in the United States and Canada. Methods: Human-centered design methods were utilized in an iterative fashion to develop and agree on survey and interview domain…
Psychological Traits, Heart Rate Variability, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease in Healthy Aging Women—The Women's Health Initiative
OBJECTIVE: Psychological traits such as optimism and hostility affect coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, but mechanisms for this association are unclear. We hypothesized that optimism and hostility may affect CHD risk via changes in heart rate variability (HRV). METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal analysis using data from the Women's Health Initiative Myocardial Ischemia and Migraine Study. Participants underwent 24-hour ambulatory electrocardio…
Is 30-Day Posthospitalization Mortality Lower Among Racial/Ethnic Minorities
BACKGROUND: Multiple studies have reported that risk-adjusted rates of 30-day mortality after hospitalization for an acute condition are lower among blacks compared with whites. OBJECTIVE: To examine if previously reported lower mortality for minorities, relative to whites, is accounted for by adjustment for do-not-resuscitate status, potentially unconfirmed admission diagnosis, and differential risk of hospitalization. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using inp…
Association of Acculturation and Health Literacy with Prevalent Dysglycemia and Diabetes Control Among Latinos in the Boston Area Community Health (Bach) Survey
The Impact of Educational Attainment on Observed Race/Ethnic Disparities in Inflammatory Risk in the 2001–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Inflammation has shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and growing evidence suggests Non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs) and certain Hispanic subgroups have higher inflammation burden compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). Socioeconomic status (SES) is a hypothesized pathway that may account for the higher inflammation burden for race/ethnic groups yet little is known about the biological processes by which SES "gets under …
Association of acculturation and country of origin with self-reported hypertension and diabetes in a heterogeneous Hispanic population
We found significant heterogeneity among Hispanics in self-reported rates of hypertension and diabetes by acculturation and country of origin. Our findings highlight the importance of disaggregation of Hispanics by country of origin and acculturation factors whenever possible
How Do Black-Serving Hospitals Perform on Patient Safety Indicators
BACKGROUND: There is increasing policy interest in public reporting and tying financial incentives to metrics of patient safety. How black-serving hospitals fare on these measures will have important implications for disparities in care. OBJECTIVES: To determine how black-serving hospitals perform on patient safety indicators (PSIs). RESEARCH DESIGN: We used national Medicare data to calculate the performance of hospitals on 11 medical and surgic…
Educating Physicians for Moral Excellence in the Twenty‐first Century
Medical professionals are a community of highly educated individuals with a commitment to a core set of ideals and principles. This community provides both technical and ethical socialization. The ideal physician is confident, empathic, forthright, respectful, and thorough. These ideals allow us to define broadly “the excellence” of being a physician. At the core of these ideals is the ability to be empathic. Empathy exhibits itself in attributes…
