Dental Coverage and Dental Care Utilization Among Medicare Advantage Beneficiaries With and Without Diabetes United States
Objectives To examine dental visits, dental coverage, and out-of-pocket (OOP) dental expenditures among Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollees with and without diabetes. Methods We analyzed 2015–2019 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey data for MA enrollees aged ≥65 years ( N = 12,312). Outcomes included any dental visit, any OOP expenditure, and total OOP spending among those with positive expenditures. Multivariable regression models examined associ…
Experiences of the Shieling
Culture is a key influence on human-nature interaction • Culture consideration is largely absent in nature based intervention (NBI) research • Place-based culture-specific programming was key to positive outdoor learning experience • Place-based culture-specific design may improve NBI effectiveness, equity, and sustainability Green prescriptions—nature-based interventions to improve human health—are becoming increasingly popular, and this growing…
Trajectory of Cognitive Decline Across Different Racial/Ethnic Groups
This study examines whether age-related cognitive decline varies by race/ethnicity and how edentulism moderates these effects. Data from the Health and Retirement Study (2006–2020), including 23,669 respondents aged 51 and above across 189,352 person-wave observations were analyzed. Of all respondents, 13.4% were edentulous at baseline, with 65.4% identified as non-Hispanic White, 20.5% non-Hispanic Black, and 14.18% Hispanic. Results from linear…
Changes in mental health problems and access to mental health care among US adolescents before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
We found the prevalence of mental health problems in adolescents increased while the prevalence of access to mental health care decreased from 2019 to 2022, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This trend should be closely monitored. And special efforts are needed to help those adolescents who are affected
Trends of Oral Health Status of Older Adults by Immigration Status in the United States
While overall oral health improved among older immigrants from 1999 to 2018, oral health disparities persisted, especially between noncitizen residents and US natives. There were significant differences in oral health between Black immigrants and their US-born counterparts. Future research is needed to corroborate these findings and monitor the trend of oral health disparities
Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Joint Effect of Edentulism and Diabetes on All‐Cause Mortality Risks
DM and edentulism pose an additive risk for mortality in Whites, and there are racial/ethnic differences in edentulism-related mortality
Edentulism, Social Mobility, and Cognitive Aging
Objectives While edentulism and social mobility have each been linked to cognitive decline, few studies have examined their joint effects or how these relationships vary across age groups. This study investigated the independent and joint effects of edentulism and intergenerational social mobility on cognitive function, with a focus on age-specific patterns. Methods We analyzed data from the Health and Retirement Study (2006–2020), including 23,1…
Racial/ethnic disparities in preventive dental services use and dental caries among children
Disparities in receipt of evidence-based preventive services by children persisted. Continuous efforts are needed to promote the use of preventive dental services among children of minority populations
Rural‐urban differences in uptake of diabetes self‐management education among Medicare beneficiaries
PURPOSE: To assess rural-urban differences in participation rates of diabetes self-management education and associated factors among Medicare beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS: Data were from the 2016 to 2018 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS). Participation in diabetes self-management education was self-reported. The study sample included 3,799 beneficiaries aged 65 years and older with self-reported T2DM. Logistic regre…
Rural‐Urban Differences in Dental Service Utilization and Dental Service Procedures Received Among US Adults
PURPOSE: To assess rural-urban differences in dental service use and procedures and to explore the interaction effects of individual- and county-level factors on having dental service use and procedures. METHODS: Data were from the 2016 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). We assessed rural-urban differences in 3 outcome variables: number of dental visits (1, 2, or 3+ visits), preventive care procedures (Yes/No), and treatment procedures (Yes…
Influenza and Pneumonia Vaccinations among North Carolina Adults with Diabetes
Objectives: In this study, we sought to elucidate the influenza and pneumonia vaccination practices of adults with diabetes in North Carolina. Methods: Using North Carolina Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, we examined 2011-2018 trend data and demographic and health factors (2014-2018) in influenza (influenza vaccine receipt in the past year among adults ages 18+ years) and pneumonia (lifetime pneumonia vaccination receipt for adul…
Dental access and expenditures for adults with intellectual and other disabilities
Despite similar mean total dental expenditures, reduced dental access reported by adults with ID suggests that this population experiences significantly greater challenges obtaining dental care. Adults with ID rely more heavily on Medicaid to finance dental care
Trends of children being given advice for dental checkups and having a dental visit in the United States
Although there was an increase in the proportion of children being given advice to have dental checkups by PCPs from 2001 to 2016, there was no significant increase in having a dental visit among children being given the advice. More research is needed to better understand how dental care advice from a PCP can effectively motivate and facilitate dental care for children
Evaluating Web-based Educational Modules on Genetic Testing for Autism among Parents of Children with Autism
Objectives New genomic tests for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are being offered to children and families with ASD; however, these tests are underutilized by parents of children affected with ASD. Methods We designed, implemented and pilot-tested an educational intervention to enhance parental genetic knowledge and assist them to make informed decisions about genomic testing. We utilized a pre-/post-test design to evaluate genetic knowledge and…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Preventive Care Practice Among U.S. Nursing Home Residents
Persistent racial/ethnic disparities in preventive care among nursing home residents exist. We urge the development and implementation of targeted interventions to improve the quality of preventive care in nursing homes
Public Health Services Most Commonly Provided by Local Health Departments in the United States
The primary purpose of this research is to identify the most commonly performed public health services by local health departments (LHDs) and highlight variation by LHD characteristics. Data were drawn from the 2008 and 2010 National Profile of LHDs, conducted by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). The descriptive analysis aims to further the essential dialogue triggered by a recent Institute of Medicine (IOM) r…
Obesity Prevention and Diabetes Screening at Local Health Departments
Objectives. We assessed whether local health departments (LHDs) were conducting obesity prevention programs and diabetes screening programs, and we examined associations between LHD characteristics and whether they conducted these programs. Methods. We used the 2005 National Profile of Local Health Departments to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of 2300 LHDs nationwide. We used multivariate logistic regressions to calculate odds ratios (ORs) an…
