To assess the health literacy of US parents and explore role in mediating child disparities.A cross-sectional study was performed for a nationally representative sample from 2003 National Assessment Adult Literacy. Parent performance on 13 health-related tasks assessed by simple weighted analyses. Logistic regression analyses were to describe factors associated with low parent relationship between self-reported insurance status, difficulty understanding over-the-counter medication labeling,...
To describe pediatricians' self-reported experiences with health literacy, use of basic and enhanced communication techniques, perceived barriers to effective during office visits.A national, random sample 1605 nonretired, posttraining American Academy Pediatrics members were surveyed in 2007 about literacy patient as part the Periodic Survey Fellows. The response rate was 56% (N = 900).Eight-one percent pediatricians aware a situation previous 12 months which parent had not sufficiently...
The present study examined whether training in cognitive coping skills would enhance pain strategies and alter perception adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). Sixty-four African Americans SCD were randomly assigned to either a condition (three 45-min sessions which patients trained use 6 strategies) or disease-education control didactic-discussion about SCD). Pain sensitivity calibrated noxious stimulation was measured at pre- posttesting, as strategies, clinical pain, health behaviors....
Objective Using health literacy informed communication strategies can mitigate inequities. Despite the high prevalence of limited among parents and children, pediatricians infrequently use clear techniques further education is imperative. There minimal literature exploring curricula in pediatric residencies. We sought to evaluate across residency programs. Methods The Academic Pediatric Association's Health Literacy Special Interest Group performed a national, cross-sectional survey...
Health literacy is a cross-cutting priority for transforming quality of health care in the United States. The informative work articles published this supplement to Pediatrics creates an imperative pediatricians optimize communication with parents and children develop necessary tools strategies. In commentary that follows, we address what believe are needed actions arenas policy, practice, education, research literacy–related issues, problems, opportunities reference children's health. ###...
Abstract Purpose Social determinants of health (SDOH) significantly impact individuals’ engagement with the healthcare system. To address SDOH‐related oral disparities, providers must be equipped knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) to understand how SDOH affect patients mitigate these effects. Traditional dental school curricula provide limited training on recognizing or developing empathy for those access barriers. This study describes design evaluation such a virtual reality (VR)‐based...
In the setting of increased interest in health literacy, American Academy Pediatrics (AAP) convened a national conference on literacy and pediatrics Washington, DC, November 8, 2008: "A Health-Literate America: Where Do Children Fit In?" The purpose was to examine related issues, problems, opportunities with reference children children's health. Most research interventions have focused adult patients diagnoses, this gathering—which brought together pediatricians, researchers, educators,...
This research sought to describe and compare perceptions of consent-related health communication between surgical patients undergoing procedures at facilities that did not adopt a new literacy-based consent form process.A self-administered, mail survey was used collect information about demographic characteristics, locus control, from aged 18 years or older, approximately 2 4 months after laparascopic cholecystectomy, total hip replacement, knee replacement surgery within 10-hospital...
The purpose of the current study was to investigate depression and health care use in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Forty-four adults SCD were interviewed data from 43 participants, both (n = 11) without 32) depression, used for further analyses. Data one potential subject excluded on basis diagnosis. full evaluation included Structured Clinical Interview DSM-III-R Disorders (SCID) Center Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), as well measures psychosocial behavioral...
Studies have found that reports of negative thoughts are significant predictors pain report, health care use, and psychosocial adjustment in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD); however, the mechanisms relationship not clear. In this study, 58 SCD completed an experimental induction task (finger pressure). Sensory decision analyses determined sensory discrimination (the ability to discriminate lower higher intensities) response bias tendency readily report during noxious stimulation)....
Traditionally, neuropsychological deficits due to Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) have been understudied in adults. We begun suspect, however, that symptomatic and asymptomatic Cerebrovascular Events (CVE) may account for an alarming number of this population. In the current brief review, we critically evaluated pediatric adult literatures on neurocognitive effects SCD. highlighted studies published topic posit early detection CVE via testing, neuropsychiatric evaluations, neuroimaging...
Background Approximately 8% of African Americans born annually have sickle cell trait (SCT), a public health concern that may contribute to disparities if individuals with SCT do not know it and lack access understandable information about reproductive implications. Pre-pandemic, Ohio offered in-person education for parents SCT-affected children but many did attend. Those limited literacy (HL) were less likely achieve high knowledge. We used HL-focused evaluation this develop virtual program...
This perspectives article shares insights from a county-level project in Franklin County, Ohio, to build collective organizational health literacy (HL) capacity across new sustainable networks advance community-level HL. We provide an overview of the initiative followed by specific cultural liaison, article's first author, who works community-based organization. He his collectivist perspective building HL at grassroots level toward goals. A shift focus individual responsibility impact...
Objective To assess the utility of a brief behavioral observation method to quantify pain. Design Correlational study. Patients 31 sickle cell disease (SCD) patients first seen in an outpatient clinic painful crisis. Outcome Measures Observed pain behaviors, physician rating patient on 0 10 scale, and report from McGill Pain Questionnaire. Results High interrater reliability for was found, observed behavior found correlate significantly with ratings Conclusions This study is important step...
There are contrasting results concerning the effect of reactive school closure on SARS-CoV-2 transmission. To shed light this controversy, here we develop a data-driven computational model transmission to investigate mechanistically COVID-19 outbreaks strategies based syndromic surveillance and antigen screening students. We found that by reactively closing classes surveillance, infections reduced no more than 13.1% (95%CI: 8.6%-20.2 %), due low probability timely symptomatic case...
