Filter by:Depression affect between 5% and 10% of older adults seen in the primary care setting.Late-life depression is often chronic or recurrent and is associated with substantial suffering, functional impairment, and diminished health-related quality of life.Depressed, older primary care patients are frequent users of general medical services and may have poor adherence to medical treatments.They are also at increased risk of death from suicide and medical illnesses. The aim of this study is to examine whether depression screening and health care practitioner feedback are increased depression treatment rate. Depression screening is provided 60 or more who visited community health care center with a 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale.GDS scores of 10 or more were classified depression positive. Intervention group participants received twice remind calls from primary care nurse.
The purpose of this study was to examine preliminary effect of Computer-assisted Psychosocial Risk Assessment tool (CaPRA) among Afghan refugees visiting medical professionals (family physicians or nurse practitioners) at a Community Health Center. The investigators examined the tool's acceptability among patients and its impact on patient satisfaction and patient intention to visit a psychosocial counselor as a proxy of potential to integrate medical and social care.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the information about a doctor or possibility to choose doctor's gender included in invitation letter is associated with attendance rate to screening colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a quality improvement intervention to improve the ability of health care providers to deliver an important preventive health service (CT screening) in order to meet the goal of universal CT screening for young women age 25 or younger as recommended by the CDC and virtually all major health organizations. This novel approach utilizes a bilingual (English-Spanish) computer kiosk module to deliver education about CT and allow patients to request a CT screening test. This module should significantly increase CT screening among at risk women (18-25yo) attending urgent care clinics and emergency departments.
The probably most commonly used measure for expressing the pay-offs of early detection and treatment are survival rates. Yet, over time and groups this metric comes with several biases and thus, is not reliable for judging such benefits. Epidemiologists recommend using reduction of disease-specific mortality rates instead, which is unbiased. The purpose of the study is to investigate how primary care physicians understand and use different survival measures for determining the benefit of cancer screening tests.
This proposed study will use previous study results to guide the development and evaluation of interventions to improve CRC screening acceptance. The proposed study will evaluate the impact of three interventions to promote CRC screening among siblings in this increased-risk group, who are not currently compliant with CRC screening guidelines: 1) a generic print intervention; 2) a tailored print intervention, and; 3) a tailored print plus tailored telephone counseling intervention.
The major goal of this project is to determine the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention designed to help primary care practices implement three office system strategies known to increase delivery of immunizations and other preventive services. This two-year study will contribute to our understanding of multi-component translational interventions in primary care, and particularly within practice-based research networks.
