The objective of this study was to estimate the incremental health care utilization and expenditure associated with MSD among adult T2D patients in the United States overall and by race/ethnicity.

Social determinants of health and Covid-19: An evaluation of racial and ethnic disparities in attitudes, practices, and mental health
Previous evaluations have reported racial minorities feel they are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19, but that on average, they have better preventative practices, such as wearing face masks and avoiding large gatherings. In this study, we explored associations between social determinants of health (SDOH), race and ethnicity, COVID-19 practices and attitudes, and mental health outcomes during the pandemic. We examined associations between S…
Association of the Covid-19 Pandemic With Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Receipt Among Pregnant Individuals: United States, 2016–2022
Objectives. To evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) receipt among pregnant individuals overall and by race/ethnicity. Methods. We measured changes in WIC receipt among Medicaid-covered births (n = 10 484 697) from the US National Center for Health Statistics Natality Files (2016–2022). Our interrupted time series logistic model included a continuous monthly variable, a bi…

Individual and Health Policy Factors Associated With Positive Heroin and Opioid Treatment Response: United States, 2018
Objectives. To identify client- and state-level factors associated with positive treatment response among heroin and opioid treatment episodes in the United States. Methods. We used national data from 46 states using the Treatment Episode Dataset‒Discharges (2018) to identify heroin and opioid treatment episodes (n = 162 846). We defined positive treatment response as a decrease in use between admission and discharge. We used multivariable regres…

Geographic Hotspots for Low Birthweight: An Analysis of Counties With Persistently High Rates
This study evaluated persistency in county-level rates of low birthweight outcomes to identify "hotspot counties" and their associated area-level characteristics. Administrative data from the National Center for Health Statistics Birth Data Files, years 2011 to 2016 were used to calculate annual county-level rates of low birthweight. Counties ranking in the worst quintile (Q5) for ≥3 years with a neighboring county in the worst quintile were iden…
How Have Hospitals in the Mississippi Delta Fared Under the 2019 Revised Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
In 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (2013 HRRP), which financially penalized hospitals if their 30-day readmissions were higher than the national average. Without adjusting for socioeconomic status of patients, the 2013 HRRP overly penalized hospitals caring for the poor, especially hospitals in the Mississippi Delta region, one of the poorest regions in the U.S. In…
County-level Variation in Low Birthweight and Preterm Birth: An Evaluation of State Medicaid Expansion Under the Affordable Care Act
BACKGROUND: Rates of low birthweight and prematurity vary 2-fold across states in the United States, with increased rates among states with higher concentrations of racial minorities. Medicaid expansion may serve as a mechanism to reduce geographic variation within states that expanded, by improving health and access to care for vulnerable populations. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify the association of Medicaid expansion wi…
The Impact of Insurance Gain and Discussions with Healthcare Providers on Quitting Smoking
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Analyzing the ability for different mechanisms to reduce smoking rates can provide healthcare systems with information to establish the most effective smoking cessation efforts. Health insurance provides individuals with direct mechanisms to curb smoking behavior, such as access to smoking cessation resources. Gaining insurance may additionally indirectly influence smokin…
Crisis Leadership of the Bush Presidency: Advisory Capacity and Presidential Performance in the Acute Stages of the 9/11 and Katrina Crises
This paper examines the operation of the presidential advisory system during the 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina crises in order to explain the marked differences in presidential crisis leadership performance during the acute phase of both crises. It first presents a conceptual framework for the systematic study of “crisis advisory configurations” around presidents, based on an integrated review of the advisory systems and crisis management literature…
Who participates in cardiovascular disease risk factor screenings? Experience with a religious organization-based program
Adult members who declined participation in cardiovascular disease risk factor screenings offered at religious organizations were randomly selected and asked to participate in screenings at their homes. Relationships between screening participation and sociodemographic, behavioral, and physiological measures were examined. Age, knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors, body mass index, current smoking status, previous report of elevated b…

The Political Economy of American Foreign Policy: Its Concepts, and Strategy, and Limits
A Malay Herodotus
He was not of course a critical historian: in his materials fact was mixed with myth and folklore in varying proportions and he was not competent to sift them.... His forte is vivid and picturesque description, the lively presentation of scenes and actions, characters and states of society." These words were written of Herodotus. That they might well have been written of, the author of the Sějarah Mělayu or Malay Annals, whoever he may have been,…
