In the United States, 3.8 million women have a history of breast (BC) or ovarian cancer (OC). Up to 15 percent of cases are attributable to heritable mutations, which, if identified, provide critical knowledge for treatment and preventive care. It is unknown how many patients who are at high risk for these mutations have not been tested and how rates vary by risk criteria.

Authors assessed the relationship between household socio-economic level, both relative and absolute, and individual tuberculosis (TB) disease prevalence using household surveys in eight countries -- Malawi, Mongolia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Rwanda, Tanzania, Vietnam and Zambia -- individual and pooled multi-country models.

A universal question in network science entails learning about the topology of interaction from collective dynamics. Authors address this question by examining diffusion of laws across US states. Two complementary techniques are proposed to unravel determinants of this diffusion process: information-theoretic union transfer entropy and event synchronization.

The study assessed the extent to which populations in six Latin American and Caribbean countries receive high-quality primary care, and it examined the relationship between experiences with care and perceptions of health system performance. Authors applied a validated survey on access, use, and satisfaction with health care services to nationally representative samples of the populations of Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Jamaica, Mexico, and Panama.

Authors developed a measure of individual user assessment of primary care and tested its association with health system performance and quality indicators. Survey data collected in 2013 from 20,045 respondents in OECD countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom and the USA.

Authors examined internal and external determinants of state's adoption of impaired driving laws, using data that included 7 state-level, evidence-based public health laws collected from 1980 to 2010. Event history analyses were used to identify predictors of first-time law adoption and subsequent adoption between state pairs.

Brazil — which has the world's fifth-largest population and seventh-largest economy — has a decentralized health system, where municipalities are responsible for most primary care services as well as some hospitals and other facilities. All publicly financed health services and most common medications are universally accessible and free of charge at the point of service for all citizens, even the 26 percent of the population enrolled in private health plans.
