The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) Program
Introduction: The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW) was established in 2008 by the University of Wisconsin (UW) School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) with the goals of (1) providing a timely and accurate picture of the health of the state residents; and (2) serving as an agile resource infrastructure for ancillary studies. Today, the SHOW program continues to serve as a unique and vital population health research infrastructure for a…
Reproductive health at conflict borders
Human rights must be urgently attended to, through expanded HRV screenings and responsive care, and policy changes to further protect migrant workers, displaced persons, and others in precarious legal status situations

Reliability and validity of PROMIS® pediatric family relationships short form in children 8–17 years of age with chronic disease
Can Claims Data Algorithms Identify the Physician of Record
BACKGROUND: Claims-based algorithms based on administrative claims data are frequently used to identify an individual's primary care physician (PCP). The validity of these algorithms in the US Medicare population has not been assessed. OBJECTIVE: To determine the agreement of the PCP identified by claims algorithms with the PCP of record in electronic health record data. DATA: Electronic health record and Medicare claims data from older adults wi…

The Effect of an Intervention to Break the Gender Bias Habit for Faculty at One Institution
PURPOSE: Despite sincere commitment to egalitarian, meritocratic principles, subtle gender bias persists, constraining women's opportunities for academic advancement. The authors implemented a pair-matched, single-blind, cluster randomized, controlled study of a gender-bias-habit-changing intervention at a large public university. METHOD: Participants were faculty in 92 departments or divisions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Between Sept…
Impact of County Disadvantage on Behavior Problems Among US Children With Cognitive Delay
Objectives. We investigated relationships among cognitive delay, community factors, and behavior problems over 2 years in early childhood with a national sample of US families. Methods. Data were from 3 waves of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (2001–2005; n = 7650). We defined cognitive delay as the lowest 10% of mental scores from the Bayley Short Form–Research Edition, administered at 9 and 24 months. At 24 months, we class…
Health Literacy and Urbanicity Among Cancer Patients
PURPOSE: Low health literacy is associated with inadequate health care utilization and poor health outcomes, particularly among elderly persons. There is a dearth of research exploring the relationship between health literacy and place of residence (urbanicity). This study examined the association between urbanicity and health literacy, as well as factors related to low health literacy, among cancer patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was…
The association between motor vehicle injuries and health-related quality of life
Nutritional status of Palestinian preschoolers in the Gaza Strip
The authors examined factors associated with nutritional resilience/vulnerability among preschoolers in the Gaza Strip in 2007, where political violence and deprivation are widespread. This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2007 using random sampling of kindergartens in order to select 350 preschoolers. Binary logistic regression was used to compare resilient (adequate nutrition) and vulnerable (stunted) groups with those with moderate nut…
Racial disparities in health-related quality of life in a cohort of very-low-birth-weight 2- and 3-year-olds with and without asthma
BACKGROUND: Children born very low birth weight (VLBW) are at risk for low health-related quality of life (HRQoL), compared with normal-birth-weight peers, and racial disparities may compound the difference. Asthma is the most pervasive health problem among VLBW children and is also more common among black than white children, partly due to unfavourable environmental exposures. This study explores racial disparities in HRQoL among VLBW children a…
Interpersonal discrimination and health-related quality of life among black and white men and women in the United States
Health-related quality of life of Palestinian preschoolers in the Gaza Strip
HRQOL, including psychosocial health and emotional functioning is often severely impaired among preschoolers in the Gaza Strip. Exposure to both violent and non-violent negative events was associated with HRQOL in preschoolers
Race and gender associations between obesity and nine health-related quality-of-life measures
Health-related quality of life of mothers of very low birth weight children at the age of five
Health-related quality of life in adults reporting arthritis
Arthritis in adults is associated with poorer HRQOL. We provide age-related reference values for six generic HRQOL measures in people with arthritis
Gender Differences in Multiple Underlying Dimensions of Health-related Quality of Life Are Associated with Sociodemographic and Socioeconomic Status
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to examine whether gender differences in summary health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are due to differences in specific dimensions of health, and whether they are explained by sociodemographic and socioeconomic (SES) variation. METHODS: The National Health Measurement Study collected cross-sectional data on a national sample of 3648 black and white noninstitutionalized adults ages 35 to 89 years. Data incl…
Gender differences in health-related quality-of-life are partly explained by sociodemographic and socioeconomic variation between adult men and women in the US
There are clear gender differences in HRQoL in the United States. These differences are partly explained by sociodemographic and SES differentials
Race and preference-based health-related quality of life measures in the United States
Underlying Dimensions of the Five Health-Related Quality-of-Life Measures Used in Utility Assessment
BACKGROUND: Preference-weighted health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) indexes produce a summary score from discrete health states determined by questions falling into several attributes, such as pain and mobility. Values of HRQoL are used alongside other health outcomes to monitor the health of populations. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine among US adults, the underlying factor structure of HRQoL attribute scores across 5 inde…
Health domains and race in generic preference-based health-related quality of life instruments in the United States literature
Race differences in health have been extensively analyzed and documented in the literature, especially between African Americans or blacks and whites in the United States. Despite the vast literature in the area, the majority of studies that explore the relationship between race and health use outcomes such as self-rated health, mortality or morbidity, and disability, but very few use Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measures and their doma…
Measuring health-related quality of life in population-based studies of coronary heart disease
Generic indexes capture differences in HRQoL in population-based studies of CHD similarly to a score constructed from questions probing CVD-specific symptoms
Socioeconomic Status and Age Variations in Health-Related Quality of Life
Significant improvements in HRQoL at the population level will only be possible if we improve the HRQoL of people at the lowest end of the socioeconomic distribution

Comparison of Self-Reported and Measured Height and Weight
Screening data from the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program in Minneapolis, MN, 1973-1974, provided an opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of self-report of height and weight. It was found that both were reported, on the average, with small but systematic errors. Large errors were found in certain population subgroups. Also, men and women differed somewhat in their pattern of misreporting. Weight was understated by 1.6% by men and 3.1% …
US Norms for Six Generic Health-Related Quality-of-Life Indexes From the National Health Measurement Study
BACKGROUND: A number of indexes measuring self-reported generic health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) using preference-weighted scoring are used widely in population surveys and clinical studies in the United States. OBJECTIVE: To obtain age-by-gender norms for older adults on 6 generic HRQoL indexes in a cross-sectional US population survey and compare age-related trends in HRQoL. METHODS: The EuroQol EQ-5D, Health Utilities Index Mark 2, Healt…
