“…Earlier studies have reported the importance of a health care providers’ recommendation for uptake of the influenza vaccine [9; 10], and this was observed here. Of note, low interest in getting the vaccine among those who saw their health care providers during influenza season was offset in part by a provider recommending that the patient take the vaccine.…”

“…Factors that have been cited for this disparity include lack of interest in getting the vaccine [2], attitudes such as mistrust in government [2; 6], and reduced or lack of access, whether it be related to vaccine supply, cost or limited skills in navigating health care settings [5; 7; 8]. Recommendation from a health care provider can contribute to accepting and receiving immunizations [9–12], provided that the person has access to a clinician during the period that vaccine is available.…”

Factors Associated with Differential Uptake of Seasonal Influenza Immunizations Among Underserved Communities During the 2009–2010 Influenza Season

et al. 2011

Influenza vaccination coverage remains low and disparities persist. In New York City, a community-based participatory research project (Project VIVA) worked to address this issue in Harlem and the South Bronx by supplementing existing vaccination programs with non- traditional venues (i.e., community-based organizations). We conducted a ten minute survey to assess access to influenza vaccine as well as attitudes and beliefs towards influenza vaccination that could inform intervention development for subsequent seasons. Among 991 participants recruited using street intercept techniques, 63% received seasonal vaccine only, 11% seasonal and H1N1, and 26% neither; 89% reported seeing a health care provider (HCP) during the influenza season. Correlates of immunization among those with provider visits during influenza season included being U.S.-born, interest in getting the vaccine, concern about self or family getting influenza, an HCP’s recommendation and comfort with government. Among those without an HCP visit, factors associated with immunization included being U.S. born, married, interest in getting the vaccine, understanding influenza information, and concern about getting influenza. Factors associated with lack of interest in influenza vaccine included being born outside the U.S., Black and uncomfortable with government. In medically underserved areas, having access to routine medical care and understanding the medical implications of influenza play an important role in enhancing uptake of seasonal influenza vaccination. Strategies to improve vaccination rates among Blacks and foreign-born residents need to be addressed. The use of non-traditional venues to provide influenza vaccinations in underserved communities has the potential to reduce health disparities.

“…More frequent medical visits also provide more opportunities for providers to discuss and promote CRC screening, and primary care provider recommendations are an important factor in patients attending a screening colonoscopy. (4, 19, 21, 23, 24)…”

The impact of depression on participation in screening colonoscopy is poorly characterized. This study attempts to understand this relationship by conducting a cross-sectional analysis on a nationally representative sample of adults aged 50–75 without a history of colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease from the 2009 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey. Multivariable analysis shows that the odds of having a current colonoscopy is 1.3 times higher for individuals with depression compared to those without depression (OR =1.3; 95% CI = 1.1, 1.7). These findings suggest that depression may not be a risk factor for under-utilization of CRC screening.

“…From a broader perspective, Jasek (2011) identified that having a regular PHC provider garnered preventative services regardless of insurance status and ethnicity—yet those connections can be especially challenging to make with male patients. For example, in Canada males 20 to 64 years of age are far more likely than females to not have a regular doctor ( Statistics Canada, 2015 ).…”

Though life expectancy sex differences are decreasing in many Western countries, men experience higher mortality rates at all ages. Men are often reluctant to seek medical care because health help-seeking is strongly linked to femininity, male weakness, and vulnerability. Many men are also more likely to access emergency care services in response to injury and/or severe pain instead of engaging primary health care (PHC) services. Nurse practitioners are well positioned to increase men’s engagement with PHC to waylay the pressure on emergency services and advance the well-being of men. This article demonstrates how nurse practitioners can work with men in PHC settings to optimize men’s self-health and illness prevention and management. Four recommendations are discussed: (1) leveling the hierarchies, (2) talking it through, (3) seeing diversity within patterns, and (4) augmenting face-to-face PHC services. In terms of leveling the hierarchies nurse practitioners can engage men in effectual health decision making. Within the interactions detailed in the talking it through section are strategies for connecting with male patients and mapping their progress. In terms of seeing diversity within patterns and drawing on the plurality of masculinities, nurse practitioners are encouraged to adapt a variety of age sensitive assessment tools to better intervene and guide men’s self-health efforts. Examples of community and web based men’s health resources are shared in the augmenting face-to-face PHC services section to guide the work of nurse practitioners. Overall, the information and recommendations shared in this article can proactively direct the efforts of nurse practitioners working with men.
