Lessons Learned Across Three Evaluations Incorporating Participant-Generated Photo Elicitation Interviewing
Qualitative interviews and focus groups are commonly used methods to elicit participants’ voices in program evaluations. However, the use of these data-gathering methods can fall short of the goal; even with open-ended questions, the protocols guiding and shaping interviews and focus groups heavily reflect the evaluators’ understanding and experience of the program or intervention under consideration and its target population(s). In this paper, w…
Evaluation of the New York City Covid-19 case investigation and contact tracing program
T2 provided a large volume of NYC residents with timely notification and monitoring. Engagement in the program was lower for contacts than cases, with the largest gap coming from inability to reach individuals during call attempts. To strengthen future test-and-trace efforts, strategies are needed to encourage acceptance of local contact tracer outreach attempts

Meeting Social Needs in a Crisis Context
A short form of the Crisis in Family Systems (CRISYS) in a racially diverse sample of pregnant women
Assessing stressful life events in large-scale epidemiologic studies is challenged by the need to measure potential stressful events in a reasonably comprehensible manner balanced with burden on participants and research staff. The aim of this paper was to create a short form of the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised (CRISYS-R) plus 17 acculturation items, a measure that captures contemporary life stressors across 11 domains. Latent class analysis …
Exploring Flexibility in Philanthropic Funding for Place-Based Efforts to Improve Community Health
Place-based efforts represent a key approach for philanthropies committed to addressing social determinants of health. This article shares insights and reflections from an experience funding and evaluating the Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative, a $22 million, six-year, place-based effort by two grantmaking foundations in nine geographically and demographically diverse communities across New York state. The initiative aimed to facilitate healthy li…

Social Needs Screening and Referral Program at a Large US Public Hospital System, 2017
Many health care providers and systems are developing and implementing processes to screen patients for social determinants of health and to refer patients to appropriate nonclinical and community-based resources. The largest public health care system in the United States, New York City Health + Hospitals, piloted such a program in 2017. A qualitative evaluation yielded insights into the implementation and feasibility of such screening and referr…
Stirring up the Mud
This case study provides a mid-course assessment of the Bronx Health REACH faith-based initiative four years into its implementation. The study uses qualitative methods to identify lessons learned and to reflect on the benefits and challenges of using a community-based participatory approach for the development and evaluation of a faith-based program designed to address health disparities. Key findings concern the role of pastoral leadership, the…
Jump‐Starting Collaboration
Many policy problems require governmental leaders to forge vast networks beyond their own hierarchical institutions. This essay explores the challenges of implementation in a networked institutional setting and incentives to induce coordination between agencies and promote quality implementation. It describes the national evaluation of the Assuring Better Child Health and Development program, a state‐based program intended to increase and enhance…
The Effects of Acculturation on Asthma Burden in a Community Sample of Mexican American Schoolchildren
Objectives. We sought to determine whether low acculturation among Mexican American caregivers protects their children against asthma. Methods. Data were obtained from an observational study of urban pediatric asthma. Dependent variables were children’s diagnosed asthma and total (diagnosed plus possible) asthma. Regression models were controlled for caregivers’ level of acculturation, education, marital status, depression, life stress, and socia…
Reliability and Validity of the Spanish Version of the Crisis in Family Systems–Revised
Increasing the representation of Spanish-speaking study participants requires development and dissemination of reliable and valid translated scales. In the current study the construct validity was assessed of the Spanish version of the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised, a measure of contemporary life stressors, with a convenience sample of 377 parents interviewed in a study of childhood asthma, although over half of the respondents did not have ch…
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Diagnosed and Possible Undiagnosed Asthma Among Public-School Children in Chicago
Objectives. We examined racial and ethnic disparities in the total potential burden of asthma in low-income, racially/ethnically heterogeneous Chicago schools. Methods. We used the Brief Pediatric Asthma Screen Plus (BPAS+) and the Spanish BPAS+, validated, caregiver-completed respiratory questionnaires, to identify asthma and possible asthma among students in 14 racially/ethnically diverse public elementary schools. Results. Among 11490 children…
Validation of the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised, a Contemporary Measure of Life Stressors
The objectives of this study were to establish the validity of the Crisis in Family Systems–Revised, a recently developed measure of contemporary life stressors, using the same validation technique as in the original validation and to provide further evidence of construct validity by assessing its relationship to socioeconomic status and residential location. We conducted 124 in-person interviews with parents in three outpatient pediatric asthma …

Changes in Physicians' Attitudes Toward Aids During Residency Training
Understanding the impact of training on the development of physicians' attitudes toward AIDS is important to furthering our knowledge of the mechanisms through which socialization affects professional outlook, as well as promoting an adequate supply of providers to treat people with AIDS (PWAs). This prospective panel study collected data on 383 physicians at two critical stages: as fourth-year medical students and as third-year residents. Aspect…
Physicians' Attitudes Toward Aids at Different Career Stages
Physicians' responses to AIDS at different career stages and in different specialties were studied by surveying house staff (N = 438), faculty (N = 363), and applicants (N = 487) at six residency programs in internal medicine and six in surgery. House staff had more negative outlooks than senior medical students and faculty, reporting greater fear of exposure to AIDS and greater unwillingness to treat AIDS patients. Surgeons were more negative th…
Groups as social network members
In a study of the link between physical disability and social relationships among the elderly, questions about social network and social support evoked a surprisingly large number of group responses. People mentioned "my grandchildren," "the people in my building," "people at the senior center," and other groups in ways that suggested that the real unit of support was extraindividual and could not be accurately understood by reference to individu…
