Screening for Colorectal Cancer
Importance Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death for both men and women, with an estimated 52 980 persons in the US projected to die of colorectal cancer in 2021. Colorectal cancer is most frequently diagnosed among persons aged 65 to 74 years. It is estimated that 10.5% of new colorectal cancer cases occur in persons younger than 50 years. Incidence of colorectal cancer (specifically adenocarcinoma) in adults aged 40 to 49…
Analysis of self-efficacy for stroke recognition and action from a cluster randomised trial evaluating the effects of stroke education pamphlets versus a 12-minute culturally tailored stroke film amon…
Background: Because early recognition of symptoms and timely treatment of stroke can reduce mortality and the long-term effects of such events, efforts to make many people both aware of these symptoms and knowledgeable about what to do when recognising them are critical for reducing impacts from stroke. Objectives: To assess the impact of a stroke preparedness film (intervention) and stroke preparedness pamphlets (usual care) on self-efficacy for…
Implementation science research for the scale-up of evidence-based interventions for sickle cell disease in africa
Aligning Payment and Policies With Health Care Value and Equity
The US health care system often fails to deliver value (ie, outcomes relative to spending) or equity (ie, ensuring fairness in process or outcomes by race, ethnicity, social class, etc). A central question confronting the Biden-Harris administration is: Which policy and payment reforms will improve health care value and equity? In this Viewpoint, we propose starting with hypertension control and blood pressure (BP) equity as a national vital sign…
