Cost concerns are common among patients with cancer who have health insurance. Health care providers may alleviate by discussing cost-related all patients, not only those of lower socioeconomic status or without
Abstract Purpose. Cost sharing, intended to control the “overuse” of health care resources, may also reduce use necessary services. The influence cost on treatment choices patients with life-threatening illness, such as cancer, is unknown. Methods. A convenience sample undergoing surveillance following curative for localized cancer completed a paper survey that included three scenarios elicit maximum copayment they would be willing pay better outcomes. Scenario described curable in terms...
Abstract The rapid and widespread evolution of fungicide resistance remains a challenge for crop disease management. demethylation inhibitor (DMI) class fungicides is widely used chemistry managing disease, but there has been gradual decline in efficacy many pathosystems. Reliance on DMI increased populations the plant pathogenic fungus Cercospora beticola worldwide. To better understand genetic evolutionary basis C. beticola, genome-wide association study (GWAS) selective sweep analysis...
This study examines the relationship between religious and spiritual (R/S) struggle religiosity with depression anxiety in adolescents admitted to inpatient psychiatric units of a pediatric hospital Midwest United States. We administered four self-reported scales 71 (ages 13-17) assess religiosity, R/S struggle, depression, anxiety. The prevalence among this population was high (88.73%). Significant associations were found anxiety, linking greater struggles more severe or However, no...
Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is a globally important disease of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) caused by the fungus beticola. Long-distance movement C. beticola has been indirectly evidenced in recent population genetic studies, suggesting potential dispersal via seed. Commercial "seed" consists reproductive fruit (true seed surrounded maternal pericarp tissue) coated artificial pellet material. In this study, we confirmed presence viable for 10 37 tested lots. All isolates harbored G143A mutation...
This article describes the development of a Model Care (MoC) resource to support youth involved with justice system where neurodevelopmental disability such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is suspected. Service staff within Youth Justice sector were engaged in an iterative process over 9-month period. A reference group was established for feedback at each stage, expert advice sought from Australian and New Zealand FASD Clinical Network. Five phases occurred; first three covered...
The Aboriginal Family Planning Circle (AFPC) programme is an Aboriginal-led community programme, which works with families in Western Sydney to address their complex needs and reduce the risk of having children put into out-of-home care (OOHC). This article explores two external evaluations undertaken by WESTIR Limited (WESTIR), a non-Aboriginal research service, on AFPC programme. purpose first evaluation was provide assessment how effective had been for participants identify aspects that...
As chemistry education researchers and practitioners continue to investigate improve undergraduate laboratory courses, it is necessary consider the perspectives held by each of stakeholders who are directly involved in these including coordinators, graduate teaching assistants, students. This study sought qualitatively learning goals expectations assistants (GTAs), students for general organic courses at a single institution. was completed through collection analysis semistructured interview...
Evidence based strategies are needed to enhance the ability of Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) sector prevent prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) harms including Fetal Spectrum Disorder (FASD). In Australia FASD prevention research has largely focused on primary care child development sectors, while little been conducted with AOD services providing comprehensive support high risk women. This study interviewed 26 staff from 18 organizations involved in referral co-ordination, case management, or...
Abstract Cercospora leaf spot is the most important disease of sugar beet worldwide. The caused by fungus beticola and managed principally timely application fungicides including those sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) class. However, reliance on DMIs has an increase in resistance to this class multiple C. populations. To better understand genetic evolutionary basis for , a genome-wide association study (GWAS) selective sweep analysis were conducted first time fungal plant pathogen. We...
e20543 Background: Cost-sharing is a method to control “over-use” of healthcare services but may have the unintended consequence reducing utilization necessary among vulnerable patients (pts). It not known if cost influences pts’ choices cancer treatments. Methods: A survey was administered convenience sample pts on surveillance for localized cancer. Domains included demographic questions as well clinical scenarios elicit maximum co-payment would be willing pay hypothetical Scenario...
6021 Background: When making treatment decisions, cancer patients (pts) must make trade-offs between efficacy, toxicity (tox) and cost. However, little is known about how individual characteristics influence these particularly as many face high out of pocket costs. Methods: We presented pts with hypothetical scenarios that asked them to choose 2 treatments varying levels tox Each scenario included 9 choice pairs. Pts were given 3 described in the Table. Tox was also varied. Demographics,...
