Engaging patients in primary care design
OBJECTIVE: Recognition is growing that to create truly patient-centred care, health-care organizations need to partner with patients around care design. More research into the benefits of engaging patients and the most effective ways of partnering with them is needed. METHODS: This study assessed the process and impact of a collaborative effort to design a new clinic service that balanced the number of patient and clinical provider/staff codesign…

Empowering youth to affect change in their lives and their communities can result in healthier youth and communities. The Food Empowerment Education and Sustainability Team (FEEST) engages youth 12-24 in two ethnically diverse communities in King County, WA around food justice and food systems. At FEEST, youth and adults participate as equals. The core of the program is weekly dinners where youth cook and eat local fresh food while engaging in fa…
Using the Concept of “Population Dose” in Planning and Evaluating Community-Level Obesity Prevention Initiatives
When planning and evaluating community-level initiatives focused on policy and environment change, it is useful to have estimates of the impact on behavioral outcomes of particular strategies (e.g., building a new walking trail to promote physical activity). We have created a measure of estimated strategy-level impact—“population dose”—based on our work in evaluating obesity prevention initiatives that uses elements of the RE-AIM method of combin…
HIV Disclosure and Subsequent Sexual Behaviors Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Who Meet Online
To assess HIV disclosure discussions and related sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) who meet sex partners online, 28 qualitative interviews with Seattle-area MSM were analyzed using grounded theory methods and themes and behavior patterns were identified. MSM found a greater ease in communicating and could prescreen partners through the Internet. However, no consistent relationship was found between HIV disclosure and subseque…
Partnering with Reach to Create a “Diabetes-Friendly” Restaurant
We describe a Latino restaurateur's perspectives and partnership with Seattle-King County REACH to improve the healthfulness of his restaurant as a step toward tackling diabetes in his community. We interviewed the owner and reviewed other documentation to capture his perspectives and identify key elements in this restaurant intervention. The impact of diabetes in the owner's family and Latino community motivated him to make changes at his restau…
The Kaiser Permanente Community Health Initiative
We provide an overview of the Kaiser Permanente Community Health Initiative—created in 2003 to promote obesity-prevention policy and environmental change in communities served by Kaiser Permanente—and describe the design for evaluating the initiative. The Initiative focuses on 3 ethnically diverse northern California communities that range in size from 37 000 to 52 000 residents. The evaluation assesses impact by measuring intermediate outcomes a…
Approaches to Measuring the Extent and Impact of Environmental Change in Three California Community-Level Obesity Prevention Initiatives
Despite growing support among public health researchers and practitioners for environmental approaches to obesity prevention, there is a lack of empirical evidence from intervention studies showing a favorable impact of either increased healthy food availability on healthy eating or changes in the built environment on physical activity. It is therefore critical that we carefully evaluate initiatives targeting the community environment to expand t…

Expanding the Role of Nurse Practitioners
Context: A 3‐year pilot program to expand the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in the Washington State workers' compensation system was implemented in 2004 (SHB 1691), amid concern about disparities in access to health care for injured workers in rural areas. SHB 1691 authorized NPs to independently perform most functions of an attending physician. Purpose: The aims of this study were to (1) describe the contribution by NPs to Washington's worke…

Operational Definitions of Walkable Neighborhood
Background: The concept of walkable neighborhoods is increasingly important in physical activity research and intervention. However, limited theoretical understanding and measurable definitions remain a challenge. Methods: This paper reviews theories defining neighborhoods and offers an empirical approach to identify measurable attributes and thresholds of walkable neighborhoods. Bivariate and multivariate analyses are used for self-reported soci…

A Qualitative Exploration of Alternative Strategies for Building Community Health Partnerships
Evaluating the Legacy of Community Health Initiatives
Community health initiatives typically involve time-limited funding from foundation or government grants to support their initial activities. But if there are to be lasting improvements in health outcomes, initiative activities must be sustained over a relatively long period of time. Despite the importance of sustaining work begun under health initiatives, there have been few attempts to track sustainability after the period of funding has ended.…

Will uninsured people volunteer for voluntary health insurance? Experience from Washington State
OBJECTIVES: In national and local discussions of health care reform, there is disagreement about whether a national health insurance plan should be mandatory or voluntary. This study describes characteristics of low- income people who were more likely or less likely to be covered by a voluntary plan. METHODS: Survey data were available from an evaluation of Washington State's Basic Health Plan, which offered subsidized health insurance to low-inc…
The validity of self-reported smoking
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to identify circumstances in which biochemical assessments of smoking produce systematically higher or lower estimates of smoking than self-reports. A secondary aim was to evaluate different statistical approaches to analyzing variation in validity estimates. METHODS. Literature searches and personal inquiries identified 26 published reports containing 51 comparisons between self-reported behavior and bio…
Factors influencing the duration of work-related disability
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to examine factors predictive of duration of work-related disability. METHODS. Multivariate survival analysis techniques were used to conduct a population-based, retrospective cohort study on a random sample of 28,473 workers' compensation claims from Washington State filed for injuries occurring in 1987 to 1989. The principal outcome measure was length of time for which compensation for lost wages was pa…

Who Enrolled in a State Program for the Uninsured
Managed care plans may hesitate to participate in programs for uninsured persons because they fear adverse selection, whereby only the sickest people or highest users would choose to join the program. We studied this issue in Washington State's Basic Health Plan, a demonstration program that provides subsidized health insurance for families earning less than 200% of the poverty level. We interviewed people in three counties who enrolled in the pr…
