Health literacy in foster care transition planning and barriers to care
Adolescents and young adults formerly in foster care (AYAFC) experience multiple healthcare access challenges during transition to adulthood. This study assessed how gaps in health literacy – the ability to obtain, process, and understand health information – impede transition preparedness and access to healthcare. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews with AYAFC and stakeholders were conducted in North Texas to assess health literacy prepa…
Contributions of Qualitative Methods to Real-Time Implementation Strategy Design
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) exemplifies a medical advance that is highly efficacious in reducing an individual’s risk of acquiring HIV. However, the use of PrEP remains considerably suboptimal in communities that could benefit from it most, especially in the southern United States where HIV infection rates are highest. We conducted a study using both qualitative methods and implementation science to develop and deploy a multicomponent impleme…

The Intersection of Childcare and Health Among Women at a U.S. Safety-Net Health System During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: Lack of childcare has been linked to missed health care appointments for adult women, especially for lower-income women. The COVID-19 pandemic created additional stressors for many low-income families that already struggled to meet childcare and health care needs. By exploring the experiences of women who were referred for childcare services at a U.S. safety-net health system, we aimed to understand the challenges women faced in man…

Harmonizing Qualitative Data Across Multiple Health Systems to Identify Quality Improvement Interventions
Background: Heterogeneity in healthcare systems' organizational structures, policies and decisions influences practice implementation and care delivery. While quantitative data harmonization has been used to compare outcomes, few have conducted cross-site qualitative inquiry of healthcare delivery; thus, little is known about how to harmonize qualitative data across multiple settings. Objective: We illustrate a methodological approach for a theor…
Anal cancer screening among women with HIV
Women living with HIV (WLWH) are at increased risk of anal cancer compared to women without HIV, often due to persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. This paper describes current practices and challenges conducting anal cancer screening for WLWH at an urban integrated safety-net system and a non-profit community-based HIV clinic. We conducted 25 semi-structured interviews with clinical and administrative stakeholders to assess knowledge…
Experiences of increased food insecurity, economic and psychological distress during the Covid-19 pandemic among Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-enrolled food pantry clients
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic initially doubled the rates of food insecurity across the USA and tripled rates among households with children. Despite the association among food insecurity, chronic disease and psychological distress, narratives depicting the experiences of already food insecure populations are notably underrepresented in the literature. The current study assessed the impact of COVID-19 on clients of a food pantry who were also …
Family and Social Context Contributes to the Interplay of Economic Insecurity, Food Insecurity, and Health
In this study, we show how household health, economic instability, and food insecurity are inextricably linked and how disruptions in individual health or income create cumulative and interdependent challenges faced by multiple household members. Drawing upon semistructured focus groups with English- and Spanish-speaking clients of an urban food pantry, we demonstrate: (1) the impact of economic scarcity on health, (2) the impact of one household…
The 'worthy' patient
This paper examines how physicians determine the quality and quantity of time to devote to each patient, and how these decisions are taught to physicians-in-training as part of the 'hidden curriculum' in medical education. The notion of moral economy is used to analyze how judgments of patient worth come to guide and influence interactions among physicians and physicians-in-training and patients, and how these interactions impact medical care. Ho…
