A Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating Online Interventions to Improve Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
Objectives. We assessed change in fruit and vegetable intake in a population-based sample, comparing an online untailored program (arm 1) with a tailored behavioral intervention (arm 2) and with a tailored behavioral intervention plus motivational interviewing–based counseling via e-mail (arm 3). Methods. We conducted a randomized controlled intervention trial, enrolling members aged 21 to 65 years from 5 health plans in Seattle, Washington; Denv…
A Comparison of Smokers' and Nonsmokers' Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Relevant Psychosocial Factors
The authors examined the relation between smoking status and fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption among a population-based sample and examined differences in psychosocial factors that may influence diet and inform intervention efforts. The authors recruited adults (N = 2,540) from 5 US health plans to participate in a Web-based dietary intervention trial. At baseline, smokers ate fewer FV servings per day (p < .001) and were less likely to meet t…
Are There Race/Ethnicity Differences in Outpatient Congestive Heart Failure Management, Hospital Use, and Mortality Among an Insured Population
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the quality of outpatient care received by patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and whether differences in care and outcomes exist by race/ethnicity. BACKGROUND: Appropriate outpatient CHF management can improve patient well-being and reduce the need for costly inpatient care. Yet, little is known regarding outpatient CHF management or whether differences in this care exist by race/ethn…
Provider Type and the Receipt of General and Diabetes-Related Preventive Health Services Among Patients With Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Using a measure of provider type that includes "shared care" to determine the contribution of provider type on receipt of general and diabetes-related preventive health services. METHODS: Automated clinical and administrative data were used to identify adult patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes receiving care from a multispecialty, salaried group practice and enrolled in a large health maintenance organization between 3/97 and 2/98 (n =…
Expenditures in caring for patients with dementia who live at home
OBJECTIVES. Given the national interest in progressive dementia, we estimated expenditures incurred in caring for dementia patients who live at home. METHODS. Primary caregivers of 264 patients from a university-based memory disorders clinic were interviewed at baseline and asked to keep service use diaries for 6 months; 141 caregivers who returned the diaries are the focus of this report. We examined both formal and informal services (distinguis…

The Impact of Psychologic Factors on Measurement of Functional Status
In this study the relationship between four psychologic health constructs (depression, anxiety, patient response bias, and hostility) and the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) measurement of functional status was evaluated. The SIP, Carroll Depression Rating Scale (CDRS); and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) were administered to 332 patients hospitalized for treatment of combined medical and psychiatric problems. Pearson's produ…
