Key insights on multisector community partnerships from real-world efforts to address social determinants of health
The Opioid Epidemic’s Prevention Problem
Addressing Disparities in the Health of American Indian and Alaska Native People
Chronic diseases and injuries are now the greatest threat to health in the 21st century.1 Racial and ethnic disparities in health status, largely attributable to chronic diseases, are widely recognized as a priority public health and civil rights challenge.2 The articles in this supplement of the American Journal of Public Health document the substantial burden of disease borne by American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. Addressing these…
Leading Causes of Death and All-Cause Mortality in American Indians and Alaska Natives
Objectives. We present regional patterns and trends in all-cause mortality and leading causes of death in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Methods. US National Death Index records were linked with Indian Health Service (IHS) registration records to identify AI/AN deaths misclassified as non-AI/AN. We analyzed temporal trends for 1990 to 2009 and comparisons between non-Hispanic AI/AN and non-Hispanic White persons by geographic regio…
Lung Cancer Deaths Among American Indians and Alaska Natives, 1990–2009
Objectives. We examined regional differences in lung cancer among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) using linked data sets to minimize racial misclassification. Methods. On the basis of federal lung cancer incidence data for 1999 to 2009 and deaths for 1990 to 2009 linked with Indian Health Service (IHS) registration records, we calculated age-adjusted incidence and death rates for non-Hispanic AI/AN and White persons by IHS region, focusi…
The National Prevention Strategy and Breast Cancer Screening
Mammography screening rates in the United States have remained fairly stable over the past decade, and screening rates remain low for some groups. We examined insights from recent public health research on breast cancer screening to identify promising new approaches to improve screening rates and address persistent health disparities in mammography use. We considered this research in the context of the four strategic directions of the National Pr…
Improving Health Behaviors in an African American Community
Objectives. We examined the effect on 3 behavioral risk factors for heart disease and diabetes (low fruit and vegetable consumption, low physical activity, and cigarette smoking) of an intervention in an African American community in North Carolina. Methods. A community coalition, a lay health advisor program, and policy and community environment change strategies were implemented in a community of 20000 African Americans in 2001 to 2005. Health …
Primary care management
A Multidisciplinary Health Care Outreach Team to the Homeless
For the last ten years the Montefiore Care for the Homeless Team has provided health care to a diverse homeless population of the Bronx, New York. Homeless persons are seen at soup kitchens, family shelters, and a women's assessment shelter. The team includes nurse practitioners, a supervising physician, a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist, a social worker, a health educator, and medical assistants. Yearly descriptions of patient demographics…
