Evaluation of Payer Policies to Reduce Low-Value Medical Device–Based Procedure Use
In this quality improvement study, enactment of evidence-based clinical coverage policies for 4 common medical device-based procedures was not associated with a reduction in their use in Louisiana Medicaid. These findings suggest a need for more comprehensive strategies to improve evidence-based care for Medicaid through multipronged efforts that include education, policymaking, and value-based coverage implementation
A Critical Examination of Independent Medical Review Decision-making for Cardiovascular Procedures Shows Low Rate of Evidence Citation in Reviews
BACKGROUND: The California Independent Medical Review (IMR) program was created in 2001 to provide an independent, external evaluation of insurers' denials of coverage of health services. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the quality and comprehensiveness of data used to support IMR decision-making between 2015 and 2020. RESULTS: Of the 159 cases submitted to IMR regarding denials of cardiovascular procedures, 52% of these denials were overturned …
Do changes in women's household status in Nepal improve access to food and nutrition
Women's nutritional status remains poor in South Asia, impacting maternal and infant health outcomes. Women's household status is also low, as evidenced by eating behaviours. We started with triadic qualitative interviews with newly married women, husbands and mothers-in-law to explore the link between women's status and eating patterns, followed by longitudinal data from a cohort of 200 newly married women in rural Nepal to measure associations …
Big smile, small self: Awe walks promote prosocial positive emotions in older adults
Aging into later life is often accompanied by social disconnection, anxiety, and sadness. Negative emotions are self-focused states with detrimental effects on aging and longevity. Awe-a positive emotion elicited when in the presence of vast things not immediately understood-reduces self-focus, promotes social connection, and fosters prosocial actions by encouraging a "small self." We investigated the emotional benefits of a novel "awe walk" inte…

Mental Health Diagnoses 3 Years After Receiving or Being Denied an Abortion in the United States
Objectives. We set out to assess the occurrence of new depression and anxiety diagnoses in women 3 years after they sought an abortion. Methods. We conducted semiannual telephone interviews of 956 women who sought abortions from 30 US facilities. Adjusted multivariable discrete-time logistic survival models examined whether the study group (women who obtained abortions just under a facility’s gestational age limit, who were denied abortions and c…

Screening Sexually Active Adolescents for Chlamydia trachomatis: What About the Boys
Objectives. We sought to determine the effectiveness of a systems-based intervention designed to increase Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) screening among adolescent boys. Methods. An intervention aimed at increasing CT screening among adolescent girls was extended to adolescent boys (14–18 years). Ten pediatric clinics in a health maintenance organization with an ethnically diverse population were randomized. Experimental clinics participated in a cli…
Dental care access and use among HIV-infected women
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to identify predictors of dental care use in HIV-infected women. METHODS: In a cross-sectional survey of HIV-infected women enrolled in the northern California site of the Women's Interagency HIV Study, dental care use and unmet need were assessed in relation to selected variables. RESULTS: Among 213 respondents, who were predominantly Black and younger than 45 years, 43% had not seen a dentist and 53% (among dentate…
Between- and Within-Cluster Covariate Effects in the Analysis of Clustered Data
Standard methods for the regression analysis of clustered data postulate models relating covariates to the response without regard to between- and within-cluster covariate effects. Implicit in these analyses is the assumption that these effects are identical. Example data show that this is frequently not the case and that analyses that ignore differential between- and within-cluster covariate effects can be misleading. Consideration of between- a…
Living arrangements, changes in living arrangements, and survival among community dwelling older adults
OBJECTIVES: This study examines whether living arrangements and changes in living arrangements are associated with survival among older community-dwelling adults, and whether differences in health status account for observed differences in survival. METHODS: The sample consisted of 5085 persons aged 70 years or older who had participated in the Longitudinal Study of Aging in 1984 and 1986. Proportional hazards models were used to examine associat…
The Influence of Sociodemographic Characteristics and Morbidity on the Likelihood of Living Alone Among Older U.S. Adults Who Become Unmarried: A Comparison of Women and Men
This study examined gender differences in the associations of sociodemographic variables and morbidity with changes in living arrangements among adults aged 55–74 years old (n = 820) who became unmarried between the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1971–75 and the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study 1982–84. Preexisting family constellations (living in two person households at NHANES I compared to living in larger households, a…
Living arrangements and survival among middle-aged and older adults in the NHANES I epidemiologic follow-up study
BACKGROUND. There is concern about but little information on how living alone affects the health and survival of older adults. METHODS. We examined the association between living arrangements (living alone, with a spouse, or with someone other than a spouse) and survival among 7651 adults, aged 45 to 74 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) (1971-1975) and traced at the NHANES I Follow-up Study (1982-1984), to s…
