  • Achieving Population Health Impacts Through Health Promotion Programs Offered by Community-based Organizations

    Amanda L Brewster, Traci Wilson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2021Referências: 20

    BACKGROUND: Evidence-based health promotion programs can help older adults manage chronic conditions and address behavioral risk factors, and translating these interventions to population-scale impact depends on reaching people outside of clinical settings. Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) have emerged as important delivery sites for health promotion programs, but the impacts of their expanded role in delivering these interventions remain unknown. O…

  • Project Last Mile and the development of the Girl Champ brand in eSwatini

    Open AccessMarie A Brault, Sarah Christie et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2021Referências: 55

    In eSwatini and across sub-Saharan Africa, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are at significantly higher risk of HIV infection and poorer sexual and reproductive health (SRH) than their male counterparts. AGYW demonstrate low demand for SRH services, further contributing to poor outcomes. Strategic marketing approaches, including those used by multinational corporations, have potential to support demand creation for SRH services among AGYW,…

  • The World Health Organization Code and exclusive breastfeeding in China, India, and Vietnam

    Open AccessHolly Robinson, Gabriela Buccini et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    Promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is a highly feasible and cost-effective means of improving child health. Regulating the marketing of breastmilk substitutes is critical to protecting EBF. In 1981, the World Health Assembly adopted the World Health Organization International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (the Code), prohibiting the unethical advertising and promotion of breastmilk substitutes. This comparative study aimed to (…

  • Variation In Health Outcomes

    Elizabeth H Bradley, Maureen Canavan et al.ARTICLEHealth Affairs2016

    Although spending rates on health care and social services vary substantially across the states, little is known about the possible association between variation in state-level health outcomes and the allocation of state spending between health care and social services. To estimate that association, we used state-level repeated measures multivariable modeling for the period 2000-09, with region and time fixed effects adjusted for total spending a…

  • Patients’ experiences managing cardiovascular disease and risk factors in prison

    Open AccessEmily Thomas, Emily H Thomas et al.ARTICLEHealth & Justice2016

    BACKGROUND: Despite greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in patients with a history of incarceration, little is known about how prisons manage CVD risk factors (CVD-RF) to mitigate this risk. METHODS: = 26). These individuals were recruited through community flyers and a primary care clinic in Connecticut. Using a grounded theory approach and the constant comparative method, we inductively generated themes about CVD-RF care in p…

  • Federal Funding for Mixed Methods Research in the Health Sciences in the United States

    Open AccessCaitlin Coyle, Dena Schulman‐Green et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mixed Methods Research2016Citada por: 10Referências: 4

    Although investigators in health sciences are increasingly interested in using mixed methods, greater adoption requires funding opportunities. Funding allocations can signal recognition of a particular methodology and proficiency of investigators in using such methods. We examined trends in prevalence of mixed methods research funded by federal agencies in the United States. We reviewed abstracts to describe the content and terminology related to…

  • What Works in Readmissions Reduction

    Amanda L Brewster, Emily Cherlin et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016Referências: 45

    BACKGROUND: Hospitals across the United States are pursuing strategies to reduce avoidable readmissions but the evidence on how best to accomplish this goal is mixed, with no specific clinical practice shown to reduce readmissions consistently. Changes to hospital organizational practices, a key component of context, also may be critical to improving performance on readmissions, but this has not been studied. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was …

  • Preferences for home delivery in Ethiopia

    Open AccessHeather Sipsma, Jennifer Thompson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2013

    More than half of the maternal deaths worldwide occur in sub-Saharan Africa, most commonly during childbirth or the immediate post-partum period. Although delivery in health care facilities can avert maternal deaths, many women in sub-Saharan Africa continue to deliver at home. Factors influencing mothers' decisions to use facility-based delivery services in rural, low-income settings are not well understood. Health care professionals who provide…
