25. Education in the Wake of Healthcare Reform: Increasing Primary Care Usage by Individuals Currently Reliant upon Emergency Departments for Care

Author

Tannebaum, Michael, Wilkin, Holley A., and Keys, Jobia

Abstract

Background: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was introduced, in part, to increase access to primary care, which has been shown to provide patients with myriad health benefits. Objective: To increase primary care usage by understanding the beliefs about primary and emergency care most salient to those whose healthcare-seeking practices may be impacted by the ACA. Methods: Community forum and focus group discussions were held with residents of a low-income community who are affected by health disparities, are heavily reliant on emergency care for their medical needs, and whose primary healthcare options should expand under the provisions of the ACA. Results: Explored within a theory of planned behaviour framework, results suggest residents' attitudes toward primary and emergency care are predicated on beliefs about costs, wait times, and the ability to access care locally. Conclusion: In light of findings about the determinants that drive healthcare-seeking intentions and ultimately behaviours, we recommend educational strategies that health promoters can adopt to encourage populations that are newly insured and traditionally reliant on emergency services to pursue routine primary care.

26. Hard-to-Reach? Using Health Access Status as a Way to More Effectively Target Segments of the Latino Audience

Author

Wilkin, Holley A. and Ball-Rokeach, Sandra J.

Abstract

Health issues disproportionately affect Latinos, but variations within this ethnic group may mean that some Latinos are harder to reach with health messages than others. This paper introduces a methodology grounded in communication infrastructure theory to better target "hard-to-reach" audiences. A random digit dialing telephone survey of 739 Latinos living in two Los Angeles communities was conducted. The relationships between health access difficulties and connections to an integrated storytelling network as well as individual health communication source connections were explored. Findings suggest that Latinos who are connected to an integrated storytelling network report marginally greater ease finding healthcare, despite not being any more likely to have insurance or a regular place for healthcare. Latinos who have health access problems tended to rely more upon Spanish-language television for health information. In addition, those without healthcare access problems are more likely to indicate that they use health professionals, the Internet, mainstream TV and printed materials like health pamphlets for health information. The theoretical and methodological contributions of this work, its major findings, implications, limitations and policy guidelines are discussed.

Research indicates that the communication infrastructure and the strength of the storytelling network, influences civic engagement outcomes. Recent community building initiatives place the impetus of community change and civic engagement on the family unit. This paper places the family unit within the storytelling network and explores how family interaction is related to civic engagement. A telephone survey of 739 new immigrant Latinos in Los Angeles was used to test the effect of family interaction on civic engagement. Regression analyses, controlling for sociodemographic factors, were used. Results indicate that family interaction leads to higher levels of civic engagement and encourages more integration into the neighborhood storytelling network.

33. Integrated connection to neighborhood storytelling network, education, and chronic disease knowledge among African Americans and Latinos in Los Angeles.

Abstract

Combining key ideas from the knowledge-gap hypothesis and communication infrastructure theory, the present study aimed to explain the relations among individuals' education, access to community-based communication resources, and knowledge of chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, breast cancer, and prostate cancer) among African Americans and Latinos in Los Angeles. Rather than explore the effect of isolated communication resources, this study explored the effect of an integrated connection to community-based storytellers on chronic disease knowledge. The authors hypothesized that individuals' access to a community-based communication infrastructure for obtaining and sharing information functions as an intervening step in the process where social inequality factors such as education lead to chronic disease knowledge gaps in a local community context. With random samples of African Americans and Latinos in Los Angeles, the authors found that access to community-based communication resources plays a mediating role in the case of breast cancer and diabetes knowledge, but not in hypertension and prostate cancer knowledge. The authors discussed these findings on the basis of communication infrastructure theory and knowledge-gap hypothesis.

Abstract

This article contributes to the burgeoning literature on the social determinants of health disparities. The authors investigate how communication resources and collective efficacy, independently and in combination, shape residents’ access to health enhancing resources (including healthcare services, sources of healthier food options, and public recreation spaces) in their communities. Using random digit dial telephone survey data from 833 residents of South Los Angeles communities the authors show that communicative social capital—that is, an information and problem-solving resource that accrues to residents as they become more integrated into their local communication network of neighbors, community organizations, and local media—plays a significant role in access to health resources. This relationship is complicated by individuals’ health insurance and health status, as communicative social capital magnifies the sense of absence of resources for those who are in worse health and lack insurance. Communicative social capital builds collective efficacy, which is positively related to access to health-enhancing resources, but it also mediates the negative relationship between communicative social capital and access to health resources. Residents with richer stores of communicative social capital and collective efficacy report better access to health resources. The authors conclude with a discussion of implications of these findings and suggestions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

47. Using the theory of planned behavior to understand intentions to use primary versus emergency healthcare.

Abstract

Continuity of care with both a medical provider and a regular physician provides patients with myriad health benefits. Among them, access to primary care has been found to diminish the likelihood that a patient will use emergency services. Thus, interventions to curb the use of emergency services for less-urgent conditions often direct patients to primary care providers. Little research, however, has examined the beliefs and attitudes that individuals hold about primary and emergency care, and the principles on which these beliefs are evaluated. Community forum and focus group discussions were conducted with residents of a low-income community known to use emergency services for less-urgent medical conditions to explore their beliefs about primary and emergency care. Findings, explored within a theory of planned behavior framework, suggest that residents' attitudes toward primary and emergency care are predicated on beliefs about costs, wait times, and the ability to access care locally. Implications are discussed within the context of strengthening interventions that encourage patients to pursue primary care in lieu of emergency services for conditions that do not necessitate immediate treatment.

Abstract

Civic engagement -- used as an umbrella term for behaviors such as political participation, community action, feelings such as collective efficacy, and feelings and behaving as part of a community -- can impact politics, health outcomes, support for new policies, and the like. Research indicates that the communication infrastructure and specifically, the strength of the storytelling network, influences civic engagement outcomes (Ball-Rokeach, et al., 2000; Ball-Rokeach, et al., 2001; Kim, 2003; Kim & Ball-Rokeach, 2004; Kim & Ball-Rokeach, 2006a; 2006b). Recent community building initiatives place the impetus of community change and civic engagement on the family unit (Doherty & Carroll, 2002; Erickson & Louv, 2002; Rojano, 2004). This paper places the family unit within the storytelling network and explores how family interaction is related to civic engagement. A telephone survey of 739 new immigrant Latinos in Los Angeles was used to test the relationship of family interaction on civic engagement. Regression analyses, controlling for socio-demographic factors, were used. Regression analyses, controlling for socio-demographic factors, were used. Results indicate that family interaction leads to higher levels of community belonging and collective efficacy and encourages more integration into the neighborhood storytelling network. Results also indicate gendered differences in these findings. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper examines the proposition that a popular form of entertainment, the telenovela, can educate Spanish-speaking viewers in the United States if accurate health information is presented in a dramatic, narrative format. Health professionals consulted on a breast cancer storyline in a Spanish-language telenovela, Ladrón de Corazones, and the impact on viewers’ knowledge and behavioral intentions were assessed using three methods. First, an analysis of call attempts to 1-800-4-CANCER demonstrated a significant increase in calls when a PSA aired during the program, and featured the telephone number. Second, a nationwide telephone survey indicated that viewers gained specific knowledge from viewing the story and that subsequently male viewers were significantly more likely to recommend that women have a mammogram. Women, however, did not show an increased intent to have mammograms. These trends were confirmed and further explored in the third methodology, focus groups of Ladrón viewers. Implications for educating viewers using dramatic serials in the United States are discussed. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A collaborative agreement among the writers/producers of the 24 program, Fox executives, health care advocates and communication scholars made it possible to place specific health care information on the 24 program and to study outcomes on a weekly basis. Fourteen thousand eight hundred fourteen viewers completed a survey during Season 3, when the program featured a story on the release of a deadly infectious agent in a Los Angeles hotel. Viewing the action drama significantly influenced attitudes about sheltering in place, beliefs about the consequences of violating quarantine, knowledge of how viruses are spread, and the methods used to track an exposed person. The program was less successful in educating the public about the definitions of “isolation” and “quarantine.” Implications for utilizing the “entertainment-education” format are discussed. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
