Understanding the dynamic process of human behavior changes towards disaster preparedness
A Participatory Curricula for Community Health Workers and Supervisors to Increase HIV Health Outcomes
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are becoming essential members of the HIV workforce as emerging evidence demonstrates their effectiveness in engaging people with HIV into care and treatment. In 2018, among the estimated 37,000 persons who received an HIV diagnosis, the majority were from racial ethnic minority communities. CHWs serve as a bridge between the community and health care system and have the potential to address structural inequities a…
Part of getting to where we are is because we have been open to change” integrating community health workers on care teams at ten Ryan White HIV/Aids program recipient sites
Wrapped up in the implementation experience of the sites there were some underlying issues that pose challenges for healthcare organizations. Organizational policies and the ability to adapt proved significant in facilitating CHW program implementation. The integration of the CHWs in the delivery of HIV care requires clearly distinguishing their role from the roles of other members of the healthcare delivery team
Associations Between Public Housing Residency and Health Behaviors in a Cross-Sectional Sample of Boston Adults
This study aims to provide improved estimates of the association between public housing development (PHD) residency and health behavior outcomes, accounting for sources of confounding frequently overlooked in prior research. We combined novel data from two health surveys fielded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2015–2016. We fit a propensity score model of PHD residency to generate inverse probability of treatment weights, which work to synthesize as…

Objectives. To examine patterns of and factors associated with housing stability over time among people living with HIV (PLWH) experiencing homelessness with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders enrolled in a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) intervention. Methods. Between September 2013 and February 2017, we ascertained housing trajectories among PLWH in 9 sites in the United States by conducting interviews at baseline, 6, a…
Social Work’s Role in Medicaid Reform
Objectives. To critically analyze social work’s role in Medicaid reform. Methods. We conducted semistructured interviews with 46 stakeholders from 10 US states that use a range of Medicaid reform approaches. We identified participants using snowball and purposive sampling. We gathered data in 2016 and analyzed them using qualitative methods. Results. Multiple themes emerged: (1) social work participates in Medicaid reform through clinical practic…

The Louisiana Family Opportunity Act Medicaid Buy-in Program
A typology of models for expanding access to oral health care for people living with HIV/Aids
This typology can assist program planners, medical and dental care providers with service delivery strategies for addressing the unmet need for oral health care in their area
Social Work Interest in Prevention
Every day in the United States, over halfa million social workers provide services to people with health, mental health, and substance abuse problems in a fragmented system that emphasizes disease treatment over prevention. Powerful issues--including health inequities, population aging, globalization, natural disaster, war, and economic downturn--make the need for preventive approaches more critical than ever. Despite social work's historic commi…
A Managed Care Model for Latino Adults With Chronic Illness and Disability
The authors evaluated a managed care model developed for use by community-based providers to improve health care outcomes for low-income Latinos with disabilities and chronic illnesses. Through this model, Medicaid enrollees with special health care needs were identified and received enhanced primary care, on-site mental health and addiction services, care coordination, and support services based on their levels of need. The goal of the demonstra…
Cross-Disability Experiences of Barriers to Health-Care Access
In this article, we present the results of a series of focus groups with people with disabilities, in which we took a cross-disability, lifespan perspective of disability. Consumers were asked about a broad set of barriers, such as problems with communication, transportation, and insurance, as well as about barriers related to physical accessibility. We used the Institute of Medicine's framework to categorize barriers as either structural, financ…
Provider Perceptions of Their Capacity to Offer Accessible Health Care for People With Disabilities
The purpose of this article is to provide preliminary data about the results of a comprehensive survey of providers regarding their perceptions of access to health care for people with a broad range of disabilities. We conducted a mail and telephone follow-up survey of providers that contract with two managed care organizations, the Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance, and the Assisted Living Association (36% response rate). Data were an…
Substance Abuse Treatment Services for People with Disabilities
The authors present results from an exploratory study conducted to learn more about how Medicaid managed-care plans meet the needs for substance abuse treatment among people with disabilities. These results suggest that capitated health plan staff members are more likely to be knowledgeable about the special needs of people with disabilities who also experience substance abuse problems. Staff members of smaller and more focused health plans demon…
Overcoming Treatment Barriers to Providing Services for Adults With Dual Diagnosis
A large and growing proportion of individuals with permanent and total disability are adults dually diagnosed with mental illness and substance-abuse disorders. These dually diagnosed individuals are frequently hospitalized, often unable to work, and thus are dependent on public systems for care. As the prevalence of clients with dual diagnosis continues to increase, states must examine how to best manage services for these individuals. This pape…
Comparison of visually estimated age with physiologically predicted age as indicators of rates of aging
Relationship between cigarette smoking, chest size and body size in health-screened adult males
Previous investigations have shown that chest dimensions and pulmonary function are positively correlated in healthy individuals. It is not known, however, whether the pulmonary effects of cigarette smoking may modify chest size during adulthood. The present study used cross-sectional data from 1557 healthy male participants in the Normative Aging Study of the Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic, Boston. Because elastic recoil of the lung i…
