Evading regulation
Increasingly companies use social media influencers to market unhealthy products to young people, although we know little about the influencers young people follow and the content influencers post. This study aimed to identify influencers young people follow, examine their exposure to harmful commodity content in influencer accounts, and examine the Instagram accounts of the most popular influencers for harmful commodity content and marketing. In…
The roots of resistance
INTRODUCTION: Augmenting training on the social and structural determinants of health in medical education is essential for addressing health disparities and fulfilling medical schools' accreditation-mandated social accountability obligations. Despite these mandates, significant implementation challenges impede curricular efforts, including faculty capacity and resistance to teaching equity-focused content. To navigate this resistance, we must fi…
‘I don’t consider cancer when I’m grabbing the beer’
Compared with other age groups, adults at midlife consume alcohol at relatively high levels. Alcohol has been linked to a number of long-term health risks, including cancer, although awareness of cancer risk is low. The current study aimed to examine how adults at midlife talk about, understand and consider alcohol-related cancer risks within their life contexts. Individual interviews were undertaken with 37 adults (41–64 years; 28 female, 9 male…
Increasing access to orthotic and prosthetic care in rural communities
BACKGROUND: In the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA), rural Veterans who need orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) care typically travel to urban VHA medical centers (VAMCs). This presents a barrier to receiving O&P care, as travel may be burdensome due to medical or psychosocial issues. The VHA Mobile Prosthetic and Orthotic Care Program (MoPOC) removes access barriers to VHA O&P care by providing care in rural VHA clinics or in Veterans' homes. Th…

Depression Diagnoses Show Greatest Racial Disparity Among Lowest-Income Adults
‘I wasn't made to feel like a nut case after all’
BACKGROUND: Professional caregiving relationships are central to quality healthcare but are not always developed to a consistently high standard in clinical practice. Existing literature on what constitutes high-quality relationships and how they should be developed is plagued by dyadic conceptualisations; discipline, context and condition-specific research; and the absence of healthcare recipient and informal carer voices. This study aimed to ad…
Indication of mixed glucose and fatty acid use by inferred brown adipose tissue activity in Samoans
OBJECTIVES: Despite the growing rates of global obesity and the known positive associations between brown adipose tissue (BAT) and cardiovascular health, little is known about the metabolic effects of BAT activity in Samoans, a population at high risk of obesity and type II diabetes. Here we assessed the potential effects of inferred BAT activity on metabolic health markers in Samoan adults exposed to mild cold. METHODS: Using point-of-care finge…

Home drinking practices among middle‐class adults in midlife during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
The Focus They Deserve
Although some issues affect all veterans, problems with community care referrals may disproportionately affect women veterans' access owing to a necessary reliance on community care for a range of gender-specific services
Integrating Health and Community Development for Health Equity
Purpose: Achieving health equity requires addressing the social determinants of health, which philanthropy has supported through community development grants. This study analyzes health topics that have been integrated into community development grants. Methods: Community development grants from 2010 to 2017 were analyzed for health topics in Baltimore, MD. Results: Food and nutrition, chronic disease, reproductive health, adolescent health, viol…

Differences in Perceptions of and Practices Regarding Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders Among VA Primary Care Providers in Urban and Rural Clinics
BACKGROUND: Effective behavioral and pharmacological treatments are available and recommended for patients with alcohol use disorders (AUD) but rarely received. Barriers to receipt and provision of evidence-based AUD treatments delivered by specialists may be greatest in rural areas. METHODS: A targeted subanalysis of qualitative interview data collected from primary care providers at 5 Veterans Affairs clinics was conducted to identify differenc…
Moral Economy and Moral Capital in the Community of Clinical Practice
This New Zealand study used focused ethnography to explore the activities of communities of clinical practice (CoCP) in a community-based long-term conditions management program within a large primary health care clinic. CoCP are the informal vehicles by which patient care was delivered within the program. Here, we describe the CoCP as a micro-level moral economy within which values such as trust, respect, authenticity, reciprocity, and obligatio…
Communities of clinical practice in action
Burgeoning numbers of patients with long-term conditions requiring complex care have placed pressures on healthcare systems around the world. In New Zealand, complex patients are increasingly being managed within the community. The Community of Clinical Practice concept identifies the network of carers around an individual patient whose central participants share a common purpose of increasing that patient's well-being. We conducted a focused eth…
Why worry about something you can't control?' Negotiated risk, longevity and health behaviours
While we know about lay attitudes towards death and dying, we understand little about the ways people estimate their overall personal risk of life-limiting disease and/or death. This study contributes to the limited literature on lay longevity reckonings, with a particular focus on how these reckonings may influence health behaviours. Semi-structured interviews were held with 21 young older adults (54-65 years), addressing the core questions of '…
Living into death
Advance care planning (ACP) has been framed as best practice for quality palliative care, yet a growing body of literature affirms the need for an early iterative ACP process to begin when people are young and healthy. A significant gap appears to exist in the literature regarding the utility of death conversations outside the end-of-life context. Could 'death conversations' early in life be an effective tool by which doctor and patient can co-co…
Race, Social and Environmental Conditions, and Health Behaviors in Men
Although understanding race differences in health behaviors among men is an important step in reducing disparities in leading causes of death in the United States, progress has been stifled when using national data because of the confounding of race, socioeconomic status, and residential segregation. The purpose of this study is to examine the nature of disparities in health behaviors among African American and white men in the Exploring Health D…
Budget- and Priority-Setting Criteria at State Health Agencies in Times of Austerity
Objectives. We examined critical budget and priority criteria for state health agencies to identify likely decision-making factors, pressures, and opportunities in times of austerity. Methods. We have presented findings from a 2-stage, mixed-methods study with state public health leaders regarding public health budget- and priority-setting processes. In stage 1, we conducted hour-long interviews in 2011 with 45 health agency executive and divisio…

Integrating Social Justice Into Counseling Theories Pedagogy
As they explore counseling theories, students are encouraged to examine their own values, attitudes, and beliefs to find congruence with these theories. This traditional approach inadequately addresses the social injustices that may be perpetuated by selecting theories that further oppress clients and other marginalized communities. Prilleltensky (1997) introduced a social justice paradigm, emancipatory communitarianism, to address the limitation…
