Racial disparities in diabetes care and outcomes for people with visual impairment
This study uncovers pronounced disparities in diabetes prevalence and management among individuals with visual impairments who seek care, particularly among White and African American groups. Our DAG analysis illuminates the intricate interplay between SDoH, healthcare access, and frequency of crucial diabetes monitoring practices, highlighting visual impairment as both a medical and social issue
Using Latent Class Analysis to Characterize Sickness Signaling in Relation to Familism and Public and Private Religiosity in a Stratified US Sample
BACKGROUND: In response to contracting an infection, individuals usually display a suite of external signs (including sickness behavior) as an outward indication of illness. This context-dependent phenomenon seems to weigh the benefits and costs of eliciting sympathy by indicating sickness versus hiding signs of illness to avoid exposing others to potential infection. In a dynamically social species like humans, non-kin may be as likely to respon…
Toward understanding and enhancing self-determination
Autistic adults desire to be self-determined and can flourish with support, as they determine to be appropriate, which might look different from support commonly offered or sought by non-autistic people. Although individualized support was discussed, the ideal desired support was for an inclusive society that values and respects their neurodivergence, rather than imposing ableist expectations. An inclusive society is only achievable through reduc…
Assessment of standard HIV testing services delivery to injured persons seeking emergency care in Nairobi, Kenya
Emergency departments (EDs) in Africa are contact points for key groups for HIV testing services (HTS) but understanding of ED-testing delivery is limited which may impeded program impacts. This study evaluated the offering and uptake of standard HTS among injured persons seeking ED care at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi, Kenya. An ED population of adult injured persons was prospectively enrolled (1 March—25 May 2021) and followed th…
Development and assessment of novel virtual Covid-19 trainer-of trainers course implemented by an academic–humanitarian partnership
BACKGROUND: In response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, Project HOPE®, an international humanitarian organization, partnered with Brown University to develop and deploy a virtual training-of-trainers (TOT) program to provide practical knowledge to healthcare stakeholders. This study is designed to evaluate this TOT program. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of this educational intervention in enhanci…

Rural‐Urban Disparities in Health‐Related Quality of Life Within Disease Categories of Veterans
Context: Compared to their urban counterparts, rural veterans have been found to have lower health‐related quality of life. Purpose: To determine whether these disparities persist when examining disease categories of rural and urban veterans. Methods: We obtained survey data on 748,216 veterans who were current or anticipated Veterans Health Administration patients. Using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)‐9CM codes, we determined whe…
Risk-Adjusted Mortality as an Indicator of Outcomes
BACKGROUND: The Medicare Advantage Program (MAP) and the Veterans' Health Administration (VHA) currently provide many services that benefit the elderly, and a comparative study of their risk-adjusted mortality rates has the potential to provide important information regarding these 2 systems of care. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective study was to compare mortality rates between the MAP and the VHA after controlling for case-mix diffe…
Differences in Health-Related Quality of Life in Rural and Urban Veterans
Objectives. We sought to determine whether disparities in health-related quality of life exist between veterans who live in rural settings and their suburban or urban counterparts. Methods. We determined health-related quality-of-life scores (physical and mental health component summaries) for 767109 veterans who had used Veterans Health Administration services within the past 3 years. We used rural/urban commuting area codes to categorize vetera…
Risk-Adjusted Mortality Rates as a Potential Outcome Indicator for Outpatient Quality Assessments
OBJECTIVE: The quality of outpatient medical care is increasingly recognized as having an important impact on mortality. We examined whether a clinically credible risk adjustment methodology can be developed for outpatient quality assessments. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study used data from the 1998 National Survey of Ambulatory Care Patients, a prospective monitoring system of outcomes of patients receiving ambulatory care in the Veterans Affairs (VA…
Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Served by the Department of Veterans Affairs
BACKGROUND: The Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System (VA) is the largest integrated single payer system in the United States. To date, there has been no systematic measurement of health status in the VA. The Veterans Health Study has developed methods to assess patient-based health status in ambulatory populations. OBJECTIVES: To describe the health status of veterans and examine the relationships between their health-related quality…
Comparing Generic and Disease-Specific Measures of Physical and Role Functioning
OBJECTIVES: This study compared the performance of generic measures of Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36-Item Health Survey physical functioning and role limitations with disease-specific measures of physical functioning and role limitations using specific disease attributions for chronic lung disease, chronic low back pain, and osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS: Data were analyzed from the Veterans Health Study among patients receiving Veter…
