Abstract:

Background: Chronic diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and preventative screenings are the most effective way to reduce the risk of developing a chronic disease. However, many individuals do not take advantage of preventative screening services for chronic diseases, especially in rural areas. In this study, we investigated (1) the factors that affect people’s willingness to participate in chronic disease screenings and (2) reasons why people have not undergone screening for a chronic disease in the past.

Abstract:

Abstract That many caregivers experience some degree of burden is well-established, but little research has investigated the association of burden on caregiver preventative health behaviors. A lack of adherence to these behaviors, including to recommended colonoscopy and mammography screenings, routine vaccinations, annual clinic visits, and HIV testing, may portend worsening health outcomes for family caregivers if diseases are left undetected or untreated; such outcomes could also be caused by and contribute to the crisis of lack of care to meet demand.

Abstract:

11021 Background: The impact of clinician burnout on patient care is pervasive across medical delivery systems. The effects are also felt in preventive care where cancer screening efforts rely on clinician referrals through the electronic medical records (EMRs). Though designed to support healthcare, EMRs are a significant source of clinician burnout given the number of clicks or navigation time needed to refer a patient. This is a barrier to Patient Navigation (PN) when ordered tests do not materialize into screenings or when clinicians order labs/imaging and the pending orders are not create

Abstract:

3623 Background: Rising colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in relatively younger adults prompted the US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) to recommend screening in average-risk adults aged 45-49 in May 2021. While screening has increased for ages 45-49, differences in polyp and CRC detection by age group are unclear. Methods: Using a subset of Truveta Data, we identified patients aged 40-64, with no prior history of CRC, who underwent CRC screening procedures (colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy) between 2018 and 2024, and for whom an associated report was available.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers affecting the female population in the United States, particularly among the Hispanic community. According to the CDC, the incidence rate of new breast cancer cases in Hispanic women is 95.6 per 100,000 annually, and the mortality rate is 13.7 per 100,000 women annually. Texas is home to one of the largest Hispanic communities in the US. By analyzing the prevalence, mortality, and access to healthcare services in Texas, we can shed light on the unique aspects of breast cancer within the Hispanic population. Overall, thi

Abstract:

Ian Kennedy (1981) pointed out that for us to have a rational health care policy, we must concentrate much more on primary preventative medicine. He went on to suggest that if this meant that some aspects of modern curative health care must be neglected or abandoned, then that would be a necessary sacrifice. Sue Dowling (1983) believed that the Primary Health Care Team, and GPs in particular, hold the crucial key to future developments in preventative health care. Yet research has shown that not all GPs feel that prevention is necessarily better than cure. Preventative health care can take man

Abstract:

The use of healthcare services in Winnipeg is examined to determine whether groups who appear to have a higher need for medical care actually get more care. Despite universal coverage, considerable variation in service use rates exists. Most of the basic healthcare services are provided in accordance with need as measured by premature mortality rates. Nevertheless, visits to specialist physicians, a variety of high profile procedures, and screening and preventative services appear not to be provided in accordance with need.
