The Social Ecology of Caregiving: Applying the Social-Ecological Model across the Life Course.

Family caregivers provide care to people with disabilities, as well as ill and older adults, often with little to no outside assistance from the formal long-term care system. They are the backbone of long-term care, and it is a misconception that the majority of people institutionalize disabled people and older adults in the United States. Youth caregiving is under-examined in the field of public health and is in need of theoretical and practical attention.

Development and Operationalization of an Automated Workflow for Correlation of Knee MRI and Arthroscopy Findings.

Objective: In this study, we sought to establish and evaluate an automated workflow to prospectively capture and correlate knee MRI findings with surgical findings in a large medical center.

Methods: This retrospective analysis included data from patients who had undergone knee MRI followed by arthroscopic knee surgery within 6 months during a 2-year period (2019-2020). Discrete data were automatically extracted from a structured knee MRI report template implementing pick lists.

Imaging Service Navigators: An Approach Toward More Efficient and Effective Communications.

Purpose: Many practices have implemented support services to assist radiologists with noninterpretive tasks; however, little research has been performed to assess the overall effect of these services. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a team of imaging service navigators (ISNs) incorporated into a practice on (1) number of communications, (2) time saved by radiologists, and (3) radiologist satisfaction with the service.

Methods: The numbers and types of reports dictated by radiologists were captured for 6-month periods before and after ISN implementation.

Impact of health literacy on depressive symptoms and mental health-related: quality of life among adults with addiction.

Background: Health literacy has been linked to health status in a variety of chronic diseases. However, evidence for a relationship between health literacy and mental health outcomes is sparse.

Objective: We hypothesized that low literacy would be associated with higher addiction severity, higher levels of depressive symptoms, and worse mental health functioning compared with those with higher literacy in adults with alcohol and drug dependence.
