Improving the Lives of People with Sickle Cell Disease
Participants contextualized trust, the most prominent theme, within discussions of racism and health inequities. Relationships between the CBO and data teams bring hard data and human experience together for advocacy, education, improved care, and a platform for the SCD voice
The effects of financial incentives on diabetes prevention program attendance and weight loss among low-income patients
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02422420 ; retrospectively registered April 21, 2015
Facilitators and Barriers of Cervical Cancer Screening and Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination Among Somali Refugee Women in the United States
Introduction: Eastern Africa has the highest rates of cervical cancer incidence (42.7 per 100,000) and mortality (27.6 per 100,000), substantially higher than worldwide incidence (14.0 per 100,000) and mortality (6.8 per 100,000). The purpose of this study was to explore facilitators and barriers to cervical cancer screening and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination among Somali refugee women and their children. Method: Focus group discussions …
Diabetes and Asthma Case Identification, Validation, and Representativeness When Using Electronic Health Data to Construct Registries for Comparative Effectiveness and Epidemiologic Research
BACKGROUND: Advances in health information technology and widespread use of electronic health data offer new opportunities for development of large scale multisite disease-specific patient registries. Such registries use existing data, can be constructed at relatively low cost, include large numbers of patients, and once created can be used to address many issues with a short time between posing a question and obtaining an answer. Potential appli…
Guidelines for Prognostication and End-of-Life Decision Making for Newborns with Severe Neurologic Damage
While it is important to make parents of severely neurologically damaged newborns aware of the difficulty in predicting their child’s survival chances or future disabilities, it is also crucial to inform them of the statistical evidence about outcomes for their child’s condition.

Cardiovascular Disease Risks in Hmong Refugees from Wat Tham Krabok, Thailand
Trends and Disparities Among Diabetes-Complicated Births in Minnesota, 1993–2003
We used Minnesota birth certificate data from 1993–2003 to test 2 hypotheses: rates of diabetes-complicated pregnancy are increasing, and disparities between more and less socially advantaged groups are widening. Significant increases occurred in rates (per 1000 live births) of prepregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (from 2.6 to 4.9 and 25.6 to 34.8, respectively). Increases were significant in all demographic groups except gestational di…
