Community integration when moving on from permanent supportive housing.

Published: August 2020

Aims: This study explored community integration within a Moving On initiative that assisted individuals with the transition from permanent supportive housing (PSH) to more independent housing without service requirements.

Methods: Participants completed baseline interviews while in PSH (n = 90) and, for those who moved on, a follow-up 1-year post-move (n = 45). Bivariate analyses and OLS regression were used to examine community integration outcomes and potential correlates.

Results: For participants who moved on, subjective social quality of life and sense of community were higher post-move, while physical integration decreased, and time spent at home increased. Gender, mastery, and housing quality were associated with community integration post-move.

Conclusion: Moving On did not adversely impact most aspects of community integration, though PSH residents may need more support to facilitate participation in routine activities outside their home post-move. Findings also highlight the importance of supporting mastery given its potential role in community integration.

The rapid rise in numbers of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) poses major challenges to health systems and policy. Although primary care clinicians provide ongoing medical care for 80% of affected individuals, they face persistent barriers to providing high-quality dementia care. We conducted qualitative interviews with family physicians ( = 20) to understand what core outcomes they consider most important and what care processes and systems and policy strategies they propose to achieve them.

Despite the recognized value of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in improving health outcomes, the integration of CHWs into Medicaid continues to be a challenge. This study examines the trends in CHW billing for Medicaid services across states from 2016 to 2020. We conducted an exploratory descriptive analysis of the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) Analytic Files (TAF) 2016-2020 to identify trends in direct billing for CHW services, including beneficiaries served, total services rendered, payment type, place of service, and procedure codes used for services billed by CHWs.

Parameter Pool-Assisted Centrifugation Sorter for Multiscale Higher-Order DNA Nanomaterials.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Higher-order DNA nanomaterials have emerged as programmable tools for probing biological processes, constructing metamaterials, and manipulating mechanically active nanodevices with the multifunctionality and high-performance attributes. However, their utility is limited by intricate mixtures formed during hierarchical multistage assembly, as standard techniques like gel electrophoresis lack the resolution and applicability needed for precise characterization and enrichment. Thus, it is urgent to develop a sorter that provides high separation resolution, broad scope, and bioactive functionality.

Scaling up to understand disease risk: distinct roles of host functional traits in shaping infection risk of avian malaria across different scales.

Understanding the impacts of diversity on pathogen transmission is essential for public health and biological conservation. However, how the outcome and mechanisms of the diversity-disease relationship vary across biological scales in natural systems remains elusive. In addition, although the role of host functional traits has long been established in disease ecology, its integration into the diversity-disease relationship largely falls behind.
