Adapting to participant distress
Healthcare team communication training in the United States
The purpose of this literature review was to identify interventions designed to improve healthcare team communication in the United States. We conducted a review of peer-reviewed, English-language articles describing interventions aimed at improving healthcare team communication. We analyzed articles that met pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria and characterized who is testing communication interventions, the rationale for testing, and…
Strategies to Meet the Urgent Need for Connection in Health Care
To the Editor: As the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing divisions steeped in racism and social injustice have dramatically illustrated, humanism and collaboration among health care professionals are essential to high-quality health care. Yet, there remains a divide between the ideal of caring for people with compassion—which calls individuals to health care—and the realities of systemic and structural health inequities, which negatively impact the de…
Unmet Medical Needs and Food Insecurity in Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
In the United States, 17% of children ages 3−17 have a developmental disorder. The complexity of care for such children require families to provide a significant amount of health care at home, representing a substantial economic cost. Our study identifies sociodemographic characteristics of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) that are predictive of unmet medical needs and food insecurity. We modeled the outcomes using a multivariable…
Program, cultural and neighbourhood factors related to attrition from a community‐based enriched medical home program in the United States
Attrition from clinical interventions targeting underserved populations is a substantive challenge to achieving optimal health outcomes. Our nationally recognised enriched medical home intervention (EMHI) utilised community health worker home visitation to improve health outcomes of children by engaging the entire family and removing barriers to care-seeking. Families were enrolled into the program between 2013 and 2016, and, as part of the evalu…
Black Adolescent Females’ Perceptions of Racial Discrimination When Accessing Reproductive and General Health Care
Adolescents, like adults, frequently experience discrimination, which can be particularly salient in the context of reproductive health care. We examined urban Black adolescent females’ perceived experiences of racial discrimination during reproductive health care encounters. Structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with female African American patients, from age 13 through 20, who obtained reproductive health care services at a single s…
The Influence of Maternal Health Literacy and Child’s Age on Participation in Social Welfare Programs
A Family Psychosocial Risk Questionnaire for Use in Pediatric Practice
Measurement of Maternal Instrumental Support
Parental Depressive Symptoms and Children’s School Attendance and Emergency Department Use
Maternal Health Literacy and Late Initiation of Immunizations Among an Inner-City Birth Cohort
Influence of Maternal Health Literacy on Child Participation in Social Welfare Programs
We examined the influence of maternal health literacy on child participation in social welfare programs. In this cohort, 20% of the mothers had inadequate or marginal health literacy. Initially, more than 50% of the families participated in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Food Stamp Program, and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, whereas fewer than 15% received child care subsidies or publ…
Immigrant Children's Reliance on Public Health Insurance in the Wake of Immigration Reform
Objectives. We sought to determine whether the reversal of the public charge rule of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which may have required families to pay for benefits previously received at no cost, led to immigrant children becoming increasingly reliant on public health insurance programs. Methods. We conducted a secondary data analysis focusing on low-income children sampled in the 1997 through 2004 versions …
Health Care Expenditures of Immigrants in the United States
Objectives. We compared the health care expenditures of immigrants residing in the United States with health care expenditures of US-born persons. Methods. We used the 1998 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey linked to the 1996–1997 National Health Interview Survey to analyze data on 18398 US-born persons and 2843 immigrants. Using a 2-part regression model, we estimated total health care expenditures, as well as expenditures for emergency departmen…
Health Expenditures for Privately Insured Adults Enrolled in Managed Care Gatekeeping vs Indemnity Plans
Objectives. We assessed the ability of managed care gatekeeping strategies (i.e., requiring a designated primary care provider to authorize referrals) to control health care costs in the mid-1990s. Methods. We analyzed expenditure data from 8195 privately insured adults sampled in the nationally representative 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Managed care gatekeeping plan enrollees included those in health maintenance organizations and othe…
Changes in Use of Health Insurance and Food Assistance Programs in Medically Underserved Communities in the Era of Welfare Reform
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in health insurance and food assistance enrollment following passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Methods. Extant data sources were used to calculate changes in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, and Food Stamp program enrollment in medically underserved Manhattan communities after 1996. Results. Dramatic declines …
