Racial and Ethnic Differences in Patient-Reported Acceptability of Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Screening in Adult Primary Care.

Background: Given the dose-response relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and worse health outcomes, there has been a growing push for routine ACE screening in healthcare settings.

Objective: This study explored differences in patient-reported acceptability of ACE screening among adult primary care patients.

Participants And Setting: Participants were adult primary care patients at an academic safety-net internal medicine clinic.

Trauma-informed primary care for medical residents.

Background: Psychological trauma can have a significant impact on mental and physical health, and interpersonal relationships. Many physicians report discomfort addressing psychological trauma in the context of health care visits, and few training opportunities exist for health care trainees to learn about the relationship between trauma and health. The aim of this project was to develop and implement an educational curriculum to teach medical and nursing trainees about trauma-informed primary care.

"I Think It's Pretty Much the Same, as It Should Be": Perspectives of Inpatient Care Among Women Veterans.

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the inpatient hospitalization experience for women veterans through in-depth interviews. Women veterans who were admitted for inpatient care on medical units within a university-affiliated VA hospital were invited to participate in a semistructured interview that inquired about their hospital experience, interactions with medical providers, and how being a woman veteran might affect this experience. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using constant comparative method until thematic saturation was achieved ( n = 25).

The roles of resilience and nonmotor symptoms in adjustment to Parkinson's disease.

Resilience contributes to better chronic disease adjustment but is understudied in Parkinson's disease. Although nonmotor symptoms affect quality of life, their effect on other aspects of Parkinson's disease adjustment is less understood. Hierarchical regression analyses from a cross-sectional survey of 138 community-dwelling adults with Parkinson's disease (mean (standard deviation) age = 64.
