Interventions for Population Genetic Screening in Ethnic and Racial Minorities
The Impact of Racial/Ethnic Concordance in Patient-Reported Shared Decision-Making and Communication During the Covid-19 Era
BACKGROUND: Patient-provider racial/ethnic concordance may mitigate disparities, which is likely due in part to improved communication. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated disparities and raised questions on communication, warranting further exploration to inform equitable care. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the influence of patient-provider racial/ethnic concordance on patient-reported shared decision-making and communication during …
Association Between Paid Sick Leave and Dental Services Utilization Among Working Adults in the United States
BACKGROUND: Timely access to regular dental visits allows the detection of preventable conditions at an earlier stage. Nonetheless, 37% of adults aged 18 and above had no dental visits in 2020. Various factors affect utilization, but little is known about the influence of job characteristics. This study examined the association between paid sick leave (PSL) and different types of dental services utilization among working adults aged 18-64 in the …

Disparities in food insecurity between sexual minority and heterosexual adults – a higher burden on bisexual individuals
Background: Sexual minorities-individuals who identify as gay/lesbian, bisexual, or other non-heterosexual individuals-experience higher rates of food insecurity (FI) compared to heterosexual individuals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, discrimination and structural racism, which are known risk factors for food insecurity, were perpetuated against sexual and racial/ethnic minorities. However, to our knowledge, a nationally representative analysis o…
Is use of a smuggler to cross the US-Mexico border associated with mental health problems among undocumented immigrants from Mexico
Although numerous studies have found that Latine immigrants to the United States (US) have better health outcomes on average than persons born in the US, studies of persons living in Mexico have found that undocumented immigrants have worse health, especially those that were deported, compared to Mexican citizens that never migrated or migrated with authorization. However, the health outcomes of Mexican migrants using a smuggler to cross the US-M…
A systematic review for the impacts of global approaches to regulating electronic nicotine products
Immigrant-focused Medical Legal Partnerships
IMLPs may improve immigrant patient-clients' health and social well-being and create eligibility for public benefits. An IMLP can be a scalable innovation to improve access to health and legal services. Challenges to institutionalizing an IMLP may include limited sustainable funding, few legal service providers with immigration expertise and capacity, patient-client identification, and the politicized nature of immigration
The Link Between Medicaid Expansion and School Absenteeism
BACKGROUND: Parental Medicaid eligibility has been shown to be linked to positive academic and school outcomes for children. However, the impact of adult Medicaid expansion on children's school absenteeism is largely unexplored in the literature. The aim of this study was to examine whether Medicaid expansion for adults under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), affected school absenteeism of children. METHODS: This study used data from the National Su…
Covid-19 vaccine inequality
By the end of 2021, more than 12 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been globally distributed and administered [1]. However, nearly one million new daily cases and more than two thousand new daily deaths were reported by July 2022. The best way to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the most effective way [...]
Estimating Excess Deaths by Race/Ethnicity in the State of California During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Impact of Meaningful Use and Electronic Health Records on Hospital Patient Safety
The HITECH Act aimed to leverage Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to improve efficiency, quality, and patient safety. Patient safety and EHR use have been understudied, making it difficult to determine if EHRs improve patient safety. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of EHRs and attesting to Meaningful Use (MU) on Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs). A multivariate regression analysis was performed using a generalized linear mo…

International Covid-19 vaccine inequality amid the pandemic
By the end of March 2021 -approximately three months after the first public COVID-19 vaccination -more than 600 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered [1].Unfortunately, there is a growing global divide in the distribution of these doses.From the beginning of the pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) was demanding that vaccine stockpiles be shared equitably and created the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) initiative …

Analysis of Excess Deaths During the Covid-19 Pandemic in the State of Florida
Objectives. To determine the number of excess deaths (i.e., those exceeding historical trends after accounting for COVID-19 deaths) occurring in Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. Using seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average time-series modeling and historical mortality trends in Florida, we forecasted monthly deaths from January to September of 2020 in the absence of the pandemic. We compared estimated deaths with monthly …

The Impact of Halting Elective Admissions in Anticipation of a Demand Surge Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic (Covid-19)
BACKGROUND: In anticipation of a demand surge for hospital beds attributed to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) many US states have mandated that hospitals postpone elective admissions. OBJECTIVES: To estimate excess demand for hospital beds due to COVID-19, the net financial impact of eliminating elective admissions in order to meet demand, and to explore the scenario when demand remains below capacity. RESEARCH DESIGN: An economic simulation …
Federal and State Policies Affecting Immigrant Access to Health Care
The Impact of Medicaid Expansion for Adults Under the Affordable Care Act on Preventive Care for Children
INTRODUCTION: The Affordable Care Act of 2010 expanded Medicaid to low-income adults at or below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The aim of this study was to examine if expanding Medicaid to adults had an impact on preventive health care utilization of children from low-income families (focusing on families with annual incomes 0%-99% and 100%-199% of the FPL). METHODS: This study used data from the 2016 and 2017 National Survey of Childr…
The Association Between Immigration Status and Office-based Medical Provider Visits for Cancer Patients in the United States
OBJECTIVES: We examined differences in cancer-related office-based provider visits associated with immigration status in the United States. METHODS: Data from the 2007-2012 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and National Health Interview Survey included adult patients diagnosed with cancer. Univariate analyses described distributions of cancer-related office-based provider visits received, expenditures, visit characteristics, as well as demographic…
The Association of Gasoline Prices With Hospital Utilization and Costs for Motorcycle and Nonmotorcycle Motor Vehicle Injuries in the United States
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between gasoline prices and hospitalizations for motorcycle and nonmotorcycle motor vehicle crash (MVC) injuries. METHODS: Data on inpatient hospitalizations were obtained from the 2001 to 2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Panel feasible generalized least squares models were used to estimate the effects of monthly inflation-adjusted gasoline prices on hospitalization rates for MVC injuries and to pr…
Mortality Hazard and Survival After Tuberculosis Treatment
Objectives. We compared mortality among tuberculosis (TB) survivors and a similar population. Methods. We used local health authority records from 3 US sites to identify 3853 persons who completed adequate treatment of TB and 7282 individuals diagnosed with latent TB infection 1993 to 2002. We then retrospectively observed mortality after 6 to 16 years of observation. We ascertained vital status as of December 31, 2008, using the Centers for Dise…

Gasoline Prices and Their Relationship to Rising Motorcycle Fatalities, 1990–2007
Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among young adults. Although automobile fatalities have declined in recent years, motorcycle fatalities are rapidly increasing. The purpose of our research was to quantify the relationship between changing fuel prices and motorcycle fatalities. Our findings suggest that people increasingly rely on motorcycles to reduce their fuel costs in response to rising gasoline prices. We estimate that u…
