Challenges and contexts in mandated organizational change
The research reported here is a case study of mandated consolidation in the organization of Alberta's health care system. Informed by the concept of organizational context, this study illustrates the complexity of factors affecting outcomes of mandated change and draws implications for theory and practice. Consolidation of separate agencies was initiated in 2008. Data were obtained through 2020 via interviews of key informants, reviews of officia…
Assessing Collaboration
This essay addresses challenges in evaluating collaboration by examining two distinct approaches to its measurement. Evaluators frequently assess collaboration on the basis of relationships, climate, and expectations (RCE), and, less often, via extent of collaboration (EC). RCE measures are based on perceptions by coalition members regarding satisfaction with the collaboration, representativeness of the surrounding community, confidence in the le…

Increasing the Value of Evaluation to Philanthropic Foundations
This article synthesizes interview data from evaluation directors and top executives of philanthropic foundations on how evaluation might better advance their missions. In key informant interviews, respondents commented on the purposes of evaluation from the foundation’s perspective, challenges to effective evaluation, and the means by which evaluation could be made more valuable to foundations. Informants emphasized promoting accountability, imp…

Factors Related to Depressive Symptoms Among Long-Term Survivors of Cervical Cancer
In this article we describe depressive symptoms among survivors of cervical cancer. Study participants were previously diagnosed and treated with cervical cancer 5 to 25 years prior to the completion of a telephone survey. Through a population-based survey of women identified via a state tumor registry in southern New England, the investigators learned that depressive symptoms are prevalent among a subgroup of long-term survivors long after diagn…
Evaluating the Legacy of Community Health Initiatives
Community health initiatives typically involve time-limited funding from foundation or government grants to support their initial activities. But if there are to be lasting improvements in health outcomes, initiative activities must be sustained over a relatively long period of time. Despite the importance of sustaining work begun under health initiatives, there have been few attempts to track sustainability after the period of funding has ended.…
Why Employed Latinos Lack Health Insurance
This article assesses the relative importance of several factors believed to reduce the likelihood of health insurance coverage among working Latinos in California, including cost, immigration history, availability of insurance, beliefs about insurance, and beliefs about health and health care. According to a survey of 1,000 randomly selected adults, the most prominent factors contributing to working Latinos’ lack of health insurance include low …
Polling and Policy Analysis as Resources for Advocacy
Between 1995 and 2001, the California Center for Health Improvement (CCHI) initiated eight large‐scale surveys of public opinion and performed policy analyses on issues and alternatives related to population health. A nonpartisan organization, CCHI aimed to advance the understanding of social factors and behavior as determinants of health and promote this understanding as a factor in policy making. Opinions of persons knowledgeable about policy m…

Social factors, treatment, and survival in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the importance of socioeconomic status, race, and likelihood of receiving surgery in explaining mortality among patients with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: Analyses focused on Black and White individuals 75 years of age and younger (n = 5189) diagnosed between 1980 and 1982 with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer in Detroit, San Francisco, and Seattle. The main outcome measure was months of survival …
Race, socioeconomic status and survival in three female cancers
Findings imply that SES and race affect cancer mortality risk independently of each other, and that the impact of SES and race may vary by malignancy. Survival disadvantages due to race-which may be more pronounced among women than men-should remain a continuing concern
Who Survives Cancer
HMO membership, treatment, and mortality risk among prostatic cancer patients
OBJECTIVES. Treatment and mortality risk were compared between prostate cancer patients receiving care in fee-for-service settings and those receiving care in a health maintenance organization (HMO). METHODS. Two samples were obtained from a population-based tumor registry. Patients in the first sample (n = 201) were interviewed shortly after diagnosis to obtain data on income, education, overall health status, and expenditures for health status,…
Work disability among cancer patients
HMO membership, copayment, and initiation of care for cancer
This study compares diagnosis and commencement of treatment for cancer among persons with fully financed fee-for-service coverage, persons with copaid fee-for-service coverage, and persons in an HMO (health maintenance organization). A total of 242 subjects actively employed at the time of their diagnosis were interviewed, typically within six months of beginning cancer treatment. After sex, age, income, education, residence (urban vs rural), and…
The Specificity of Quality-of-Life Measures Among the Seriously III
The need to address the impacts of serious disease and the effectiveness of interventions has led to the development of numerous measures of the quality of life. The research reported here explores the possibility that widely used measures do not truly distinguish among separate dimensions of the quality of life in a seriously ill population, but reflect a generalized tendency among such individuals to respond negatively to interviewers' question…
Cost Containment and Initiation of Care for Cancer in a Medicare-Eligible Population
Providing quality health care to the elderly while containing costs has become a key policy dilemma for the Social Security system. To contain costs, the federal government has often considered encouraging Medicare beneficiaries to join Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)' and requiring them to pay a higher percentage of the charges for their care.2 Supporters of HMOs argue that these organizations, free from the temptation in fee-for-service…
Interspecialty Variation in Office-Based Care
Analysis of national survey data on physician-patient encounters raises questions about physician education and manpower policy. Data compiled by the University of Southern California Medical Activities and Manpower Projects and the United States Bureau of Health Professionals reveal differences among internists, cardiologists, family practitioners, and pediatricians in procedures used for diagnosing and treating several frequently encountered co…

Scientists and Technocratic Ideology
Technocratic ideology, which emphasizes the need for technical experts to dominate society's leadership positions, has periodically been a subject of political and academic debate. In order to help locate the principal carriers of this ideology today, I surveyed a population of highly educated technical professionals. The most technocratic individuals in this sample had many occupational advantages, but were dissatisfied with their careers. Techn…
