Embracing anti-racism
In the United States, Black people face harsher health and social consequences of addiction compared to people who are not Black. These differential consequences are largely attributable to systemic racism. While addiction treatment may mitigate health disparities related to substance use, Black people also experience structural barriers and direct interpersonal racism which contribute to inequitable access and treatment outcomes. Improvements in…
Mis-implementation of evidence-based behavioural health practices in primary care
Multi-level determinants contributed to EBP mis-implementation in FQHCs, limiting the ability of these health systems to benefit from knowledge exchange. To minimize mis-implementation, knowledge exchange strategies should be designed around common, core barriers but also flexible enough to address a variety of site-specific contextual factors and should be tailored to relevant audiences such as providers, patients, and/or leadership
Patient Perspectives on Adapting Collaborative Care for Opioid Use Disorder With Depression and/or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
The present research demonstrates the feasibility and usefulness of incorporating patient perspectives into treatment design and implementation in health systems using community-participatory partnered research

Racism, not race
Associations between discrimination and substance use among college students in the United States from 2015 to 2019
Strategies Used by Interprofessional Teams to Counter Healthcare Marginalization and Engage Complex Patients
Low-income U.S. patients with co-occurring behavioral and physical health conditions often struggle to obtain high-quality health care. The health and sociocultural resources of such "complex" patients are misaligned with expectations in most medical settings, which ask patients to mobilize forms of these assets common among healthier and wealthier populations. Thus, complex patients encounter barriers to engagement with their health behaviors an…
Outcomes of Treatment for Hepatitis C Virus Infection by Primary Care Providers
BACKGROUND: The Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model was developed to improve access to care for underserved populations with complex health problems such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. With the use of video-conferencing technology, the ECHO program trains primary care providers to treat complex diseases. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study comparing treatment for HCV infection at the University of New Mexi…
Do Patients Choose Physicians Of Their Own Race?
This study seeks to determine whether minority Americans tend to see physicians of their own race as a matter of choice or simply because minority physicians are more conveniently located within predominantly minority communities. Using data from the Commonwealth Fund 1994 National Comparative Survey of Minority Health Care, we found that black and Hispanic Americans sought care from physicians of their own race because of personal preference and…
Patient-Physician Racial Concordance and the Perceived Quality and Use of Health Care
BACKGROUND: Patients from racial and ethnic minority groups use fewer health care services and are less satisfied with their care than patients from the majority white population. These disparities may be attributable in part to racial or cultural differences between patients and their physicians. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether racial concordance between patients and physicians affects patients' satisfaction with and use of health care. METHODS:…
The Role of Black and Hispanic Physicians in Providing Health Care for Underserved Populations
BACKGROUND: Patients who are members of minority groups may be more likely than others to consult physicians of the same race or ethnic group, but little is known about the relation between patients' race or ethnic group and the supply of physicians or the likelihood that minority-group physicians will care for poor or black and Hispanic patients. METHODS: We analyzed data on physicians' practice locations and the racial and ethnic makeup and soc…
Physician Practice Style and Rates of Hospitalization for Chronic Medical Conditions
Hospitalization rates for chronic medical conditions vary across small areas and are associated inversely with community income. The authors studied whether variation in hospitalization rates can be attributed to differences in physician practice style. Using census and hospital discharge data, hospitalization rates were calculated for asthma, congestive heart failure, and diabetes in 40 medical service areas in California. The authors surveyed a…
