We focus attention in this article on a participatory expert panel approach that can improve translation of research into practice by engaging a wide range of stakeholders in reviewing research results and program operations. We demonstrate how we used this process to improve the translation of research concerning the Massachusetts Women's Health Net- work—a state- and federally-funded program that offers screening services to low income women at risk of breast and cervical cancer who lack health insurance. Interviews with selected participants provide insight into the expert panel proc- ess and help to indicate its effectiveness. We conclude with suggestions for improving this approach to translation and of- fer some cautions based on the Massachusetts experience.","PeriodicalId":88329,"journal":{"name":"The open health services and policy journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"19-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68094364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collected ethnicity data from three studies, and employed Spanish surname software and cen- sus tract level geocoding to create proxies for Hispanic ethnicity. We computed sensitivity, specificity, and estimated mul- tivariate logistic regression models to examine the variation in the likelihood of a match between self-identified Hispanics and surname. Sensitivity and specificity with respect to surname varied across the three studies, ranging from 57%-91% and 89%-96%, respectively. Relative to self-report, the sensitivity of the census tract measure of density of Hispanics, var- ied from 5%-15%. Multivariate models suggest that the likelihood of a match between self-identified Hispanics and sur- name was not associated with age or gender. Self-identified Hispanics living in neighborhoods with the highest density of Hispanics were less likely than those in more mixed neighborhoods to have a Spanish surname. Employing the Spanish surname software on only densely populated Hispanic census tracts may not always improve the likelihood of correctly identifying Hispanic subjects.","PeriodicalId":88329,"journal":{"name":"The open health services and policy journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"12-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68094320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because pediatricians will be critical for implementing this recommendation, we assessed the characteristics of immunization providers associated with the greatest efforts to vaccinate children against influenza. Using a cross-sectional survey of 35 private pediatric clinics in Georgia, we found that adding extra hours for immunization during the influenza vaccination season and having a policy of allowing six or more vaccines to be delivered at one appointment were characteristics associated with a greater intent to vaccinate children in the 2004-2005 influenza vaccination season. Most respondents indicated that for their clinic to implement a universal childhood vaccination policy it would be important to have a formal recommendation from the ACIP and American Academy of Pediatrics, and to be assured that they could receive credits or refunds for unused vaccine.</p>","PeriodicalId":88329,"journal":{"name":"The open health services and policy journal","volume":"1 ","pages":"38-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2764990/pdf/nihms95237.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28456319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
