  • Critical lessons from a pragmatic randomized trial of home‐based Covid‐19 testing in rural Native American and Latino communities

    Open AccessEliza Webber, Sonia Bishop et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2024

    PURPOSE: Native Americans and Latinos have higher COVID-19 infection and mortality rates and may have limited access to diagnostic testing. Home-based testing may improve access to care in rural and underserved populations. This study tests the effect of community health worker (CHW) support on accessibility, feasibility, and completion of COVID-19 home testing among Native American and Latino adults living on the Flathead Reservation in Montana …

  • A Call to Improve Usability, Accuracy, and Equity of Self-Testing for Covid-19 and Other Rapid Diagnostic Tests

    Open AccessPaul K Drain, Alexandra K Adams et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2023

    The increasing availability of rapid diagnostic self-tests (RDSTs) for COVID-19 has played an important and increasing role during the pandemic. However, for many underserved communities, RDSTs potential benefits are offset by problems with usability, accuracy, and equity. Given the increased need for and interest in home testing for acute and chronic diseases, including COVID-19, this piece offers ways that regulatory agencies, federal public he…

Second, we describe what leaders of…

    Joan R Bloom, Larry Kessler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1994Citada por: 9

    Reports of changes in emotional support following surgery for breast cancer can be attributed to one of two factors: (1) the stigma associated with cancer, or (2) illness-imposed restrictions in one's activities. These explanations were assessed using data from a longitudinal study of women, following their surgical treatment for early breast cancer (N = 145), gallbladder disease (N = 90), benign breast disease (N = 87), or no surgery (N = 90). M…

    Irving D Goldberg, Gordon Allen et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1981

    Utilization of medical services in Group Health Association of Washington, D.C., was analyzed for patients referred in 1970 for short-term psychiatric therapy under benefits but who had no therapy or referral for at least the 12 preceding months. A matched comparison group and family members were also studied. Medical visits were analyzed in three time periods: the 12 months preceding referral, the next 4 months when therapy was likely to be rece…
