2007 Annual Research Report NEW AWARDS Focusing Implementation to Bring Effective Reminders (FIBER) P.I.: Andrienne Feldstein, Ph.D. (Kaiser Permanete Center for Health Research) Site P.I.: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Funding Source: NIH HFHS Funding Amount: $151,861 (total cost)
This mixed-method 4-year study will evaluate the implementation of a large-scale population-based colorectal cancer screening patient reminder and coordinated follow-up program. This project will allow for the evaluation of the factors associated with implementation success across multiple levels: patient, primary care provider team, specialists, and other health plan staff and systems.
Evaluating a Preference-Tailored Intervention for Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening P.I.: Sarah Hawley, Ph.D. (University of Michigan) Site P.I.: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Fund Source: NIH HFHS Funding Amount: $534,938 (total cost)
This study will integrate an innovative preference elicitation methodology into a decision tool to help patients clarify their preferences for CRC screening tests. This study proposes and evaluates a conceptual framework where preference clarification leads to increased screening adherence through first improving informed decision-making, physician-patient communication, increasing knowledge and reducing decisional conflict.
Methods for Estimating the Incidence and Prevalence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in the U.S. Population** P.I.: Mark Hornbrook, MD (Kaiser Permanete Center for Health Research) Site P.I.: Dan Newman, MD; CHSR Co-Investigator.: David Nerenz, Ph.D. Funding Source: NIH HFHS Funding Amount: $150,000 (total cost)
This project will use several population-based integrated health systems to gather data on the population denominator for estimating incidence and prevalence rates of ALS and other motor neuron disease overall, by socio-demographic subgroups and pay source. This project also includes development of an infrastructure for collaborative research model using the data collected during this project, which will demonstrate the value of an ALS and other motor neuron disease registry and make salient contributions to our understanding of ALS and other motor neuron disease and its medical care burden.
Genetic Determinants of Inhaled Steroid Response in African-Americans with Asthma P.I.: Keoki Williams, MD, MPH Co-Investigator: Shweta Choudhry, Ph.D. (University of California – San Francisco) Funding Source: Sandler Research Organization Funding Amount: $450,000 (total cost)
This project will draw upon our experience and out diverse patient population to assemble a cohort of African American patients with asthma. First, we will perform a genome wide association analysis which adjusts for racial admixture to minimize confounding by population stratification. Secondly, we will use admixture mapping to identify genomic regions where a particular ancestry is overrepresented in ICS responders. We will also exploit the benefits of our cohort design to examine genetic associations with quantitative traits related to baseline lung function.
The Impact of Diabetes Control on Employment and Work Productivity P.I.: Kaan Tunceli, Ph.D. and Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Co-Investigators: (CHSR), Sandeep Vijan, MD (University of Michigan), Cathy Bradley (Virginia Commonwealth) Funding Source: NIDDK Funding Amount: $656,572 (total cost)
A longitudinal study of patients with diabetes will examine the impact of diabetes control (glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure control) on labor market outcomes. Three research aims will be addressed: 1) determine the associations between diabetes control and the subsequent labor force participation of patients; 2) examine the impact of successful/poor management of diabetes on changes in work productivity and changes in wages and/or household income; and 3) estimate monetary value of productivity losses due to poor glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure control among patients with diabetes.
Reanalyzing Data Sets using Path Analysis & Structured Equation Modeling to Reduce Racial/Ethnic Health Care Disparity PI: David R. Nerenz, Ph.D. Co-Investigators: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. (CHSR), Jersey Liang, Ph.D and Joan Bennett, Ph.D (University of Michigan) Funding Source: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Funding Amount: $73,100 (total cost)
The purpose of this project is to re-analyze four existing data sets, using path analysis and structural equation modeling techniques, in order to estimate the effect of race/ethnicity on cancer treatment outcomes and intermediate outcomes (e.g., lipid control) in diabetes. Racial/ethnic disparities have been identified in these data sets using regression analyses; we hypothesize that the effects of race/ethnicity are actually larger than those estimated using regression. The path analysis techniques should produce a more accurate estimate of race/ethnicity effects.
Medical Care Burden of Cancer: System and Data Issues P.I.: Mark Hornbrook, MD (Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research) Site P.I.: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Funding Source: NCI HFHS Funding Amount: $383,427 (total cost)
This project will update the information on the medical care costs of cancer for aged Medicare beneficiaries, and also learn how cancer care varies between Medicare’s Fee for Service and HMO options.
The HMO Cancer Research Network – Infrastructure** P.I.: Ed Wagner, MD (Group Health Cooperative) CHSR Co-Investigator: David Nerenz, Ph.D. Funding Source: NCI HFHS Funding Amount: $169,975 (total cost)
The goal of this project is to utilize a consortium of large integrated health systems with a goal of improving the effectiveness of cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship through research that identifies system, provider, treatment and patient factors that affect cancer outcomes.
Medical Use and Cost for Adult Cancer Patient P.I.: Mark Hornbrook, MD (Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research) Site P.I.: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Funding Source: NCI HFHS Funding Amount: $78,676 (total cost) The research aim of this project is to estimate the cancer-related costs among aged Medicare HMO beneficiaries omitted due to the exclusion of outpatient medication use/cost from SEER-Medicare data.
*Note: These projects are based and administered by other HFHS Departments, but are staffed by a CHSR Co-investigator(s).
PROPOSALS SUBMITTED (PENDING OR /NOT FUNDED) Time Allocated to Mental Health in Primary Care Visits P.I.: Ming Tai-Seale, MD (Texas A&M) Site P.I.: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Funding Source: NIH HFHS Funding Amount: $602,020 (total cost) Submitted: 10/1/06; Resubmitted: 11/5/07 Status: Pending
The main goal is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing primary care physicians’ allocation of clinical time and how well that time is used to assess and treat older adults with mental illnesses. The long term objectives of this project are to inform policy and clinical practice so that more efficient and equitable mechanisms of financing and organization of mental health services in primary care can be developed.
Paroxetine for PTSD Prophylaxis in Patients with TBI** P.I.: Tamer Abdelhak, MD (HFH) CHSR Co-Investigator: David Nerenz, Ph.D. Funding Source: Department of Defense Funding Amount: $600,000 Submitted: 10/07 Status: Pending
The proposed project is a prospective, randomized trial of paroxetine as a means of preventing PTSD among a population of patients with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are at risk for developing PTSD.
Trans-Ocular Ultrasound Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter to Monitor Elevated Intracranial Pressure in Traumatic Brain-injured Patients** P.I.: Thomas E. Knuth MD MPH FACS (HFH) CHSR Co-Investigator: David Nerenz, Ph.D. Funding Sources: Department of Defense Funding Amount: $600,000 Submitted: 10/07 Status: Pending
The proposed project seeks to determine whether medical personnel with little or no previous training as ultasonographers can use transocular ultrasound to identify patients with elevated intracranial pressures. The study will involve analysis of sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values of ultrasound measurements of optic nerve diameters when compared to a "gold standard" of concurrent measurements of intracranial pressures in an ICU setting.
The Pharmacogenomics of Inhaled Corticosteroid Responsiveness in Patients with Asthma P.I.: Keoki Williams, MD, MPH Funding Source: NIH Funding Amount: $3,549,410 Submitted: 10/5/07 Status: Pending
African American patients, in particular, appear less likely to respond to corticosteroid therapy when compared with white patients. However, it is not currently known whether this difference results from genetic or environmental factors, or whether differences exist in inhaled steroid responsiveness (i.e., the recommended route of therapy). This question is of particular importance, since African American patients suffer disproportionately from asthma-related complications. In this proposal we plan to assess inhaled corticosteroid responsiveness by measuring change in FEV1 among both African American and white patients with asthma following 6 weeks of inhaled beclomethasone diproprionate treatment. This study group will also serve to identify genetic loci associated with ICS responsiveness. Participant DNA will be genotyped using genome-wide SNP arrays. The subsequent association analyses will use common and novel techniques to account for underlying population structure, such as genomic control, principle components analysis, and admixture mapping.
Obesity and Labor Market Outcomes P.I.: Kaan Tunceli, Ph.D. Funding Source: FHFH Funding Amount: $180,000 (total cost) Submitted: 6/15/07 Status: Not Funded
This project will examine the relationship between obesity and labor market outcomes, using very recent longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). . Results from this study will provide important inputs for policy makers, employers, and health care professionals as well as patients and families about economic losses associated with obesity, and hence the potential benefits of preventing obesity.
Understanding Health Disparities and Costs of Internet-Based Weight Loss Maintenance Programs Co P.I.’s: Ronald Davis, MD & Sharon Milberger, ScD (HFHS) CHSR Co-Investigator: Kaan Tunceli, Ph.D. Funding Source: INPHAASE – Wayne State University Funding Amount: $50,000 (total cost) Submitted: 11/06 Status: Not Funded
The purpose of this project is to begin to fill in the gaps in long-term weight loss maintenance research. The data collected in this project will be used to develop and pilot a customized Internet-based program that promotes weight maintenance after successful weight loss in Caucasian and African American patients.
Disparities in Long-term Weight Loss Maintenance PI: Sharon Milberger, ScD. (HFHS) CHSR Co-investigator: Kaan Tunceli, Ph.D. Funding Source: BCBSM Foundation Funding Amount: $49,999 (total cost) Submitted: 12/06 Status: Not Funded
A one-year study will be conducted to determine the extent and nature of health disparities and estimate costs of an Internet-based weight loss maintenance program.
Cancer Research Network across Health Care Systems – After Colorectal Cancer (ACT): An Intervention to Support Colorectal Cancer Patients’ Transition from Treatment to Early Survivorship P.I.: Ann Geiger, MPH, Ph.D. (WFU Public Health Sciences) Site P.I.: Jennifer Elston Lafata, Ph.D. Funding Source: NCI HFHS Funding Amount: $778,228 (total cost) Submitted: 8/16/06 Status: Not Funded
This project addresses recent Institute of Medicine calls for increased research on the reentry transition in cancer survivors, particularly among understudied cancers like colorectal. The project will assist colorectal cancer survivors in their reentry transition from active treatment to the early stages of cancer survivorship through telephone-based education and coping skills interventions that will inform and empower colorectal cancer survivors to self-manage their stressors in conjunction with their healthcare providers, family and community, and workplace. The project will also explore the economic impact of the intervention, including estimation of program costs, medical care utilization, and employment and productivity.
