Artificial intelligence conversational agents in mental health
AI conversational agents were perceived as useful and beneficial for increasing access to care, but concerns about AI's empathy, capabilities, safety, and human involvement in mental healthcare were prevalent. Future implementation and integration of AI conversational agents should consider patient perspectives to enhance their acceptability and effectiveness
Long Covid awareness and receipt of medical care
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by disparities in disease burden and medical care provision. Whether these disparities extend to long COVID awareness and receipt of medical care is unknown. We aimed to characterize awareness of long COVID and receipt of medical care for long COVID symptoms among populations who experience disparities in the United States (US). Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey among a nationa…
Patient-Clinician Communication Interventions Across Multiple Primary Care Sites
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03385512
Attitudes Toward a Potential Sars-CoV-2 Vaccine
BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly instigated a global pandemic. Vaccine development is proceeding at an unprecedented pace. Once available, it will be important to maximize vaccine uptake and coverage. OBJECTIVE: To assess intent to be vaccinated against COVID-19 among a representative sample of adults in the United States and identify predictors of and reasons for vaccine hesitancy. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey, field…
Measuring Harm in Health Care
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify modifiable factors that improve the reliability of ratings of severity of health care-associated harm in clinical practice improvement and research. METHODS: A diverse group of clinicians rated 8 types of adverse events: blood product, device or medical/surgical supply, fall, health care-associated infection, medication, perinatal, pressure ulcer, surgery. We used a generalizability theory fr…
Factors That Matter to Low-Income and Racial/Ethnic Minority Mothers When Choosing a Pediatric Practice
Health literacy–listening skill and patient questions following cancer prevention and screening discussions
OBJECTIVE: Patient question-asking is essential to shared decision making. We sought to describe patients' questions when faced with cancer prevention and screening decisions, and to explore differences in question-asking as a function of health literacy with respect to spoken information (health literacy-listening). METHODS: Four-hundred and thirty-three (433) adults listened to simulated physician-patient interactions discussing (i) prophylacti…
Successful Strategies for Practice-Based Recruitment of Racial and Ethnic Minority Pregnant Women in a Randomized Controlled Trial
Development and evaluation of a web-based assent for adolescents considering an HIV vaccine trial
HIV vaccine trials with minors will likely require parental permission and informed assent from adolescents. For this to be a valid process, the information needs to be presented in a manner that promotes adolescent comprehension. Previous studies suggest that adolescent comprehension of assent is often insufficient. We developed an interactive web-based assent that included interspersed quiz questions for a hypothetical HIV vaccine trial. Effica…
Antipsychotic Use in Nursing Homes Varies by Psychiatric Consultant
BACKGROUND: The relationship between psychiatric consultation and antipsychotic prescribing in nursing homes (NH) is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To identify the association between psychiatric consultant groups and NH-level antipsychotic prescribing after adjustment for resident case-mix and facility characteristics. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Nested cross-sectional study of 60 NHs in a cluster randomized trial. We linked facility leadership surveys t…
Cluster Randomized Trials
BACKGROUND: Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) offer unique advantages over standard randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and observational methodologies, and may provide a cost-efficient alternative for answering questions about the best treatments for common conditions. OBJECTIVES: To describe health plan leaders' views on CRTs, identify barriers to conducting CRTs, and solicit recommendations for increasing the acceptability of CRTs. RES…
Using Statistical Procedures to Identify Differentially Functioning Test Items
Identification of Nonuniform Differential Item Functioning Using a Variation of the Mantel-Haenszel Procedure
The Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure has become one of the most popular procedures for detecting differential item functioning (DIF). One of the most troublesome criticisms of this procedure is that whereas detection rates for uniform DIF are very good, the procedure is not sensitive to nonuniform DIF. In this study, examinee responses were generated to simulate both uniform and nonuniform DIF. A standard MH procedure was used first. Then, examinee…
The Effect of Sample Size on the Functioning of the Mantel-Haenszel Statistic
The Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure has become one of the most popular procedures for detecting differential item functioning. Valid results with relatively small numbers of examinees are one of the advantages typically attributed to this procedure. In this study, examinee item responses were simulated to contain differentially functioning items, and then were analyzed at five sample sizes to compare detection rates. Results showed the MH procedur…
