Abstract This pilot study assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a skills‐focused treatment delivered via video teleconferencing (VTC) to women veterans living in rural areas who had experienced military sexual trauma (MST). The Skills Training Affective Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) program focuses on teaching emotion management interpersonal skills 8 10 sessions. STAIR may be good fit for individuals whom social isolation low support are particularly...
Veterans returning from recent conflicts present with increased rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and veterans prior service eras continue to seek trauma-based services. Peer support for PTSD has the potential resolve ongoing challenges in access engagement mental health care. Assessing value peer services requires a thorough understanding expected role empirical mechanisms participation recovery. To better understand these mechanisms, this study interviewed 29 veteran...
Two statistically validated interstitial cystitis (IC) symptom instruments have been used in clinical research. In this study we report what is to our knowledge the first direct comparison of University Wisconsin Symptom Instrument (UWI) with O'Leary-Sant instruments, that IC Index (ICSI) and Problem (ICPI).A convenience sampling 107 patients evaluated at urology clinic institution from March through August 2000 were asked complete ICSI, ICPI UWI. The scores analyzed graphed.Mean UWI +/- SD...
Objective: This study assessed whether adding telephone care management to usual outpatient mental health improved treatment attendance, medication compliance, and clinical outcomes of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Treatment utilization refills determined from U.S. Department Veterans Affairs administrative data....
This pilot project implemented a mental health program, STAIR, targeting basic skills in mood management training and social functioning for women veterans with military-related trauma who live rural areas. We report on outreach implementation procedures, the veterans' reactions to lessons learned.

Multiple social physical losses, worsened by numerous factors, have produced syndemic traumatic stress suffering across populations, highlighting persistent inequalities further amplified effects COVID‐19. Specifically, can development programs; confront racialization alongside marginalized communities; support real‐time...
Abstract Purpose Cystoscopic bladder distention is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC). We investigated feasibility performing office using two different anesthetic strategies: simple instillation alkalized lidocaine electromotive drug administration (EMDA) lidocaine. Materials Methods Patients presenting with urinary frequency, urgency, pain were recruited for evaluation protocol which included under local anesthesia. An initial group 10 patients...
Abstract Purpose Access to mental health care and programs that address violence prevention can be a challenge for veterans residing in rural underserved areas. A growing number of trauma‐affected are now returning areas upon completion military service. The Palo Alto VA Health Care System has piloted program known as the Peer Support Program (PSP) where certified peer support specialists hold group sessions their fellow remote, community‐based outpatient clinics. Methods total 29...
Abstract Background Bladder distention is commonly used in diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC). Traditionally performed the operating room under general or spinal anesthesia (GA), it expensive associated with short term morbidity. Office bladder using electromotive drug administration (EMDA) has been suggested as an alternative that well tolerated by patients. We report first comparative findings patients undergoing both office EMDA (OR) GA. Methods This retrospective chart...
Applied anthropologists working with public health researchers and clinicians have the opportunity to make tangible impacts on illness disease in children families living disadvantaged neighborhoods. Stanford ECHALE was a randomized controlled trial of an experimental intervention prevent obesity among low‐income seven‐ 11‐year‐old Latina girls their families. The two‐year school‐ home‐based included (1) after‐school folkloric dance program, (2) screen‐time reduction curriculum. An active...
Group peer support (GPS) has been shown to improve engagement in mental healthcare for veterans, but little is known about ways rural veterans experience outpatient GPS. This study investigates the lived of participating GPS service area two Northern California Veterans Health Administration (VHA) community-based clinics (CBOCs). Twenty-nine participants, who attended in-person sessions at least three months, were consented. Interview responses digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, and...
Latina youth are at high risk for obesity, subsequent diabetes, and related conditions (Popkin Udry 1998). Ethnographic studies needed to help design effective, culturally tailored obesity prevention programs girls. Despite the need participation in disease clinical trials, researchers often find it difficult recruit Latino samples (Umana-Taylor Bamaca 2004; Swanson Ward 1995). In course of conducting research, our team has had excellent success recruiting girls completing interviews....
Background and Objectives: Lean management is a strategy for improving health care experiences of patients. While best practices engaging patients in quality improvement have solidified recent years, few reports specifically address patient engagement activities. This study examines the benefits challenges incorporating strategies into Veterans Health Administration's (VA) transformation. Methods: We conducted multisite, mixed-methods evaluation deployment at 10 VA medical facilities,...
