Data Resources for Conducting Patient-Centered Outcomes Research at Federally Qualified Health Centers
BACKGROUND: Federally qualified health centers and look-alikes are outpatient care settings that provide primary care and other health services in health professional shortage areas and to their populations. Compiling and disseminating data from these centers that is accessible for patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) is critical to understanding health care provided at these settings. OBJECTIVE: To describe the National Ambulatory Medical C…
Covid-19 Pandemic Impact on the National Health Care Surveys
While underscoring the need for timely, nationally representative data in ambulatory, hospital, and long-term-care settings, the COVID-19 pandemic posed many challenges to traditional methods and mechanisms of data collection. To continue generating data from health care and long-term-care providers and establishments in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Center for Health Statistics had to modify survey operations for several of it…
Measuring Multimorbidity
BACKGROUND: Adults have a higher prevalence of multimorbidity-or having multiple chronic health conditions-than having a single condition in isolation. Researchers, health care providers, and health policymakers find it challenging to decide upon the most appropriate assessment tool from the many available multimorbidity measures. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe a broad range of instruments and data sources available to ass…
Prevalence of Multiple Chronic Conditions Among US Adults, 2018
This analysis provides prevalence estimates of diagnosed single and multiple (≥2) chronic conditions among the noninstitutionalized, civilian US adult population. Data from the 2018 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used to estimate percentages for US adults by selected demographic characteristics. More than half (51.8%) of adults had at least 1 of 10 selected diagnosed chronic conditions (arthritis, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmona…
Barriers to Health Care Among Adults Identifying as Sexual Minorities
Objectives. To assess the extent to which lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adults aged 18 to 64 years experience barriers to health care. Methods. We used 2013 National Health Interview Survey data on 521 gay or lesbian (291 men, 230 women), 215 bisexual (66 men, 149 women), and 25 149 straight (11 525 men, 13 624 women) adults. Five barrier-to-care outcomes were assessed (delayed or did not receive care because of cost, did not receive specific …
Multiple Chronic Conditions Among US Adults
The objective of this research was to update earlier estimates of prevalence rates of single chronic conditions and multiple (>2) chronic conditions (MCC) among the noninstitutionalized, civilian US adult population. Data from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used to generate estimates of MCC for US adults and by select demographic characteristics. Approximately half (117 million) of US adults have at least one of the 10 chro…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Relationship Among Cigarette Use, Religiosity, and Social Norms for U.S. Adolescents
This study investigated the racial/ethnic differences in the role of social norms in the protective relationship between religiosity and cigarette smoking. The 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health was used to investigate the relationships between smoking, religiosity, and social norms of U.S. adolescents (N = 13,278). Significant indirect effects between religiosity and smoking were found through social norms for non-Hispanic White adolesc…
Prevalence of Multiple Chronic Conditions Among US Adults
Preventing and ameliorating chronic conditions has long been a priority in the United States; however, the increasing recognition that people often have multiple chronic conditions (MCC) has added a layer of complexity with which to contend. The objective of this study was to present the prevalence of MCC and the most common MCC dyads/triads by selected demographic characteristics. We used respondent-reported data from the 2010 National Health In…
Implications of Using Different Measures of Work Shift in Survey Research
Approximately 20% of workers are employed during nonstandard work shifts, and research on this topic has begun to increase. As the survey is a primary mode of data collection on nonstandard work, it is important for sociological practitioners and researchers to understand the implications of using different work shift measures in survey research. In the following study, data was used from the 2004 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (n = 6,559)…
Identifying Environmental Effects on Alcohol Use and Social-Norms
Building from the social norms approach, the following study uses the theoretical and empirical literature to guide the development of a conceptual model that can be used in studying the effects of environment on alcohol use and social norms. This model, referred to as the socio-environmental context model, contains four dimensions that each play a unique role in the environment's influence on alcohol use and social norms. The following research …
