Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Although incidence of cancer is increasing among Asian-American and Pacific-Islander (AAPI) women, their low cancer screening rates are inadequately addressed. Furthermore, the traditional approach of studying the diverse AAPI nationalities as one group hides important intra- and inter-group ethnic differences in cancer screening, as well as lack of representativeness because the surveys are not administered in any AAPI language.

Journal Article
The authors examined the extent to which selected Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) promoted certain prevention and control services for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the potential influence of health plans and medical groups on the delivery of STD care by primary care providers (PCPs) in seven large U.S. cities. Low-cost clinical services were routinely performed by PCPs, but higher-cost services were less often provided.

Journal Article
This study examined the type of nursing home stay of white and minority elderly and investigated whether minority differences in nursing home admissions were extended to the type of stay, and if so, what accounted for those differences. African American/white and Latino/white elderly were compared with respect to stays of (1) longer than three months, (2) shorter than three months and discharged alive (recovery), and (3) shorter than three months and deceased (terminal).
