Does a Welcoming Environment Influence Women Veterans’ Primary Care Experiences
Cardiovascular Risk Screening among Women Veterans
Association Between Availability of Women's Health Services and Women Veterans' Care Experiences
Guideline Adherence of Veterans Health Administration Primary Care for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Differences in Depression Care for Men and Women among Veterans with and without Psychiatric Comorbidities
Assessment of the Healthcare Needs and Barriers to VA Use Experienced by Women Veterans
BACKGROUND: Prior regional studies of women Veterans identified barriers to Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare use. However, these studies do not reflect the demographic profile of women Veterans nationally, recent advances in VA women's healthcare, and the national context of expanded healthcare alternatives. OBJECTIVE: To characterize health, VA perceptions, barriers, healthcare delivery preferences, and reasons for VA or non-VA healthcare use in…
Organizational Factors Affecting the Likelihood of Cancer Screening Among VA Patients
BACKGROUND: Preventive service delivery, including cancer screenings, continues to pose a challenge to quality improvement efforts. Although many studies have focused on person-level characteristics associated with screening, less is known about organizational influences on cancer screening. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to understand the association between organizational factors and adherence to cancer screenings. METHODS: This study employed a c…
Therapy or threat? Inadvertent exposure to alcohol and illicit drug cues in the neighbourhoods of sober living homes
Alcohol retail outlets and other environmental cues can contribute to relapse among individuals recovering from substance abuse. Sober living homes are residences designed to strengthen abstinence from substances, in part by helping residents develop skills for coping with cues and other stressors. Between January 2009 and March 2010, we conducted 10 focus groups with 68 adults aged 18 and over who lived in or operated any of 35 sober living home…
Gender Differences in Smoking and Smoking Cessation Treatment
Are racial disparities in health conditional on socioeconomic status
Utility of Health Data from Social Surveys
Most sociological and epidemiological studies of health status in adulthood rely on reports of morbidity from respondents to social surveys. This study compares self-reported morbidity with indicators of morbidity from physicians ' evaluations and examines the predictive validity of each indicator on self-assessed health and mortality in adulthood. Special attention is given to differences in the measures between white and African American adults…
Distress and Perceived Health
Stress is a common experience in modern society, and it can affect both physical and mental health. Recognizing that not all stress is detrimental to health, this research examines the relationship between perceptions of distress and perceived health within a longitudinal framework. Using two waves of a nationally representative panel study, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I (NHANES I), structural equation modeling revealed t…
Health Trajectories
Disability has long been identified as a predictor of self-assessed health, but some studies suggest the opposite causal direction. The aim of this study is to examine the dynamic relationships between physical disability and assessments of health among Black and White adults while simultaneously considering changing morbidity. Research questions include: Do more negative health assessments lead to greater morbidity and physical disability? Do ne…
Double Jeopardy to Health Hypothesis for African Americans
Considerable research on minority health has examined whether members of a minority group experience more rapid health declines than the White majority when both groups reach later life. Researchers have sought to determine if being both old and a member of a minority creates a double disadvantage to health. The primary purpose of this research is to test the double jeopardy to health hypothesis among Black and White Americans using data from a 1…
