Physical Activity and Cervical Cancer Testing Among American Indian Women
Purpose: Studies have shown that women who engage in high levels of physical activity have higher rates of cancer screening, including Papanicalaou (Pap) tests. Because American Indian (AI) women are at high risk for cervical cancer morbidity and mortality, we examined Pap screening prevalence and assessed whether physical activity was associated with screening adherence among AI women from 2 culturally distinct regions in the Northern Plains and…
Reducing Health Care Costs for Dementia Patients
For programs with short time spans and limited health care events, a cross-time model can be used to estimate cost savings while producing results similar to paired models
In-Hospital Mortality Among Rural Medicare Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
UNLABELLED: CONTEXT/PURPOSE: Most rural hospitals can provide medical care to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, but a need for advanced cardiac care requires timely transfer to a tertiary hospital. There is little information on AMI in-hospital mortality predictors among rural transfer patients. METHODS: Cross-sectional retrospective analyses on 2003-2005 Medicare hospital inpatient data from 5 states were conducted to compare predictor…
Body Mass Index and Cancer Screening in Older American Indian and Alaska Native Men
Context: Regular screenings are important for reducing cancer morbidity and mortality. There are several barriers to receiving timely cancer screening, including overweight/obesity. No study has examined the relationship between overweight/obesity and cancer screening among American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Purpose: To describe the prevalence of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) and prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing among AI/AN men w…
Factors Associated With Incidence of "Inappropriate" Ambulance Transport in Rural Areas in Cases of Moderate to Severe Head Injury in Children
CONTEXT: Ambulance transport of pediatric trauma patients to designated trauma centers in cases of moderate and severe injury is not always performed, which has been shown to result in poor treatment outcomes. Determination of factors involved in inappropriate patient transport, especially in rural areas, remains an important avenue of research. PURPOSE: To identify factors involved in ambulance transport of pediatric patients sustaining moderate…
A Comparison of Practice Characteristics Among Physician Assistants in HMO and Non‐HMO Settings
Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have continued to grow in both number and enrollment. A major goal of HMOs and other managed care structures is the containment of health care costs. The utilization of physician assistants (PAS) would seem to nicely mesh with these organizations. This study examines the roles, productivity, and clinical autonomy of PAS in HMO settings. In this examination, PAS working with HMOs are compared with PAS workin…
Job Satisfaction Among Rural Physician Assistants
Because increasing numbers of physicians are being trained in specialized medicine, health professional shortage areas remain common in the United States, and the role of physician assistants (PAS) in health services provision is becoming increasingly important, especially in rural and underserved areas. By most accounts, there is a shortage of PAS in the United States, particularly in rural areas. A nationwide survey was conducted in 1994 to det…
A Logit Analysis of the Likelihood of Leaving Rural Settings for Registered Nurses
This study examined the net effects of individual and community factors on the likelihood of registered nurses leaving current jobs using a logit analysis. Based on data from a survey of 2,509 rural nurses, four separate models were estimated and compared: one for nurses in rural settings as a whole and the other three for nurses in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and community/public health agencies. Results of the general model indicated…
