Ethnoracial Disparities in Medicare Annual Wellness Visit Utilization
INTRODUCTION: In 2011, Medicare began offering annual preventive care visits (annual wellness visit; AWV) to beneficiaries at no charge. Providing free preventive care supports primary and secondary prevention of chronic disease and may reduce ethnoracial disparities in health outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To estimate AWV utilization trends by ethnoracial group in a nationally representative sample of the Medicare population. RESEARCH DESIGN: We estimate…
Barriers to Quality Care for Dying Patients in Rural Communities
Context: Barriers to providing optimal palliative care in rural communities are not well understood. Purpose: To identify health care personnel’s perceptions of the care provided to dying patients in rural Kansas and Colorado and to identify barriers to providing optimal care. Methods: An anonymous self‐administered survey was sent to health care personnel throughout 2 rural practice‐based research networks. Targeted personnel included clinicians…
The Regional Immunization Registry as a Public Health Tool for Improving Clinical Practice and Guiding Immunization Delivery Policy
Objectives. We assessed the distribution of immunization records among 3 health care delivery sectors and the impact of a regional immunization registry on “up to date” rates. Methods. Immunization registry records in 2 regions were categorized as having originated in private practices, community health centers, or public health clinics. “Up to date” rates were calculated after we sequentially added immunization records from the 3 sectors. Result…
Predictors of Contraceptive Discontinuation in a Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic Population
In this study population of STD clinic users, method-use problems appear to be a more fundamental issue for contraceptive compliance than the pastor current experience of side effects. The unexpected association between method-use problems and the risk of discontinuation needs to be further delineated so that effective interventions addressing these problems can be developed and implemented
Increasing Cervical Cancer Screening Among Underserved Women in a Large Urban County Health System
BACKGROUND: Further reduction in avoidable cervical cancer morbidity and mortality may require system-wide, integrated approaches implemented in the public health facilities serving the nation's indigent and minority women. OBJECTIVES: Report on the evaluation of a 5-year demonstration project testing a multicomponent (provider, system, and patient) intervention to increase cervical cancer screening among women who receive their health care throu…
Young Latinas and Abortion
Latina women have often been portrayed as holding strong traditional family values leading to a greater propensity for rejection of contraception and abortion. Increasingly, the literature has consistently shown that Latina women use contraception effectively when available; however, much less is known about the prevalence of abortion and the factors related to its use in this population. In this article we examine Latinas' use of abortion and id…
Reducing Loss-to-Follow-Up Among Women With Abnormal Pap Smears
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the efficacy of two interventions designed to reduce loss-to-follow-up among women with abnormal Pap smears. METHODS: The two interventions were evaluated in two large public hospitals using a randomized 2 x 2 factorial design. One intervention involved an intensive follow-up protocol that relied on multiple attempts (mail and telephone) to contact the patient. The second intervention provided patients with econom…
Improving Adherence to Screening Follow-Up Among Women with Abnormal Pap Smears
In a large randomized trial involving over 2,000 women with abnormal cervical cytology (pap smear), three clinic-based interventions were tested as strategies to increase return rates for screening follow-up: 1) a personalized follow-up letter and pamphlet; 2) a slide-tape program on pap smears; and 3) transportation incentives (bus passes/parking permits). The three interventions were evaluated using a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design. Results of this…
Telephone Surveys in Public Health Research
The last 10 years have seen increasing use of telephone surveys in public health research. This paper reviews issues of sampling, data quality, questionnaire development, scheduling of interviewers, respondent burden, interviewer effects, and the use of the computer in telephone interviewing. Throughout, the authors focus on findings from recent research, with particular emphasis on those studies suggesting new advances or protocols for conductin…
Smoking behavior among US Latinos
In this paper we review evidence on smoking and lung cancer among Latinos, including findings from several unpublished studies and technical reports. Recent surveys of smoking behavior in California, Texas, and New Mexico indicate a notable sex difference in smoking among Latinos, with Latino males smoking at least as frequently as White males, while Latino females report smoking rates considerably lower than White females. Our analysis of the 19…
