“…Other topics examined with qualitative research methods, albeit with less frequency, include physician–patient communication and decision making (McGuire, McCullough, Weller, & Whitney, 2005; Sarkisian, Hays, Berry, & Mangione, 2001; Tucker et al, 2003), team models of care delivery (Best, Hysong, Pugh, Ghosh, & Moore, 2006; Cohen et al, 2004; Dreachslin, Hunt, & Sprainer, 1999; Jacobson, Parker, & Coulter, 1998), consumer use of cost and quality information (O’Day, Palsbo, Dhont, & Scheer, 2002; Smith, Gerteis, Downey, Lewy, & Edgman-Levitan, 2001; Sofaer, Crofton, Goldstein, Hoy, & Crabb, 2005), and consumer engagement in health plan choice (Fraser, Chait, & Brach, 1998; Lave, Peele, Black, Evans, & Amersbach, 1999; Sarkisian et al, 2001). …”

Over the past 10 years, the field of health services and management research has seen renewed interest in the use of qualitative research methods. This article examines the volume and characteristics of qualitative research articles published in nine major health services and management journals between 1998 and 2008. Qualitative research articles comprise 9% of research articles published in these journals. Although the publication rate of qualitative research articles has not kept pace with that of quantitative research articles, citation analysis suggests that qualitative research articles contribute comparably to the field’s knowledge base. A wide range of policy and management topics has been examined using qualitative methods. Case study designs, interviews, and documentary sources were the most frequently used methods. Half of qualitative research articles provided little or no detail about key aspects the study’s methods. Implications are discussed and recommendations are offered for promoting the publication of qualitative research.

“…Nonetheless, in focus groups we conducted in Boston and greater Washington, DC, we also heard from persons with disabilities about insufficient knowledge of clinicians regarding certain disabling conditions, problems identifying appropriate primary care and specialist physicians, difficulties with continuity of care (especially when persons change insurance), inadequate physical access, local transportation problems, and inaccessible information (Iezzoni 2003; O'Day, Killeen, and Iezzoni 2004; Iezzoni, O'Day et al 2004; O'Day et al 2005; Iezzoni and O'Day 2006)—findings consistent with the clinical and access needs of many persons with disabilities regardless of where they live (Burns et al 1990; Andriacchi 1997). Other studies, primarily involving largely urban populations, corroborate these barriers to care confronting persons with disabilities (Beatty and Dhont 2001; DeJong et al 2002; O'Day et al 2002; Hanson et al 2003; Harris Interactive 2004). Relatively little has yet been done to address these problems except in small targeted programs, again primarily in cities (Master et al 1996; Blanchard and Hosek 2003; Eichner and Blumenthal 2003; Reis et al 2004).…”

Objective. To learn about the health care experiences of rural residents with disabilities. Study Setting. Rural areas in Massachusetts and Virginia. Study Design. Local centers for independent living recruited 35 adults with sensory, physical, or psychiatric disabilities to participate in four focus group interviews. Data Collection Methods. Verbatim transcripts of interviews were reviewed to identify major themes. Principal Findings. Interviewees described the many well-recognized impediments to health care in rural America; disability appears to exacerbate these barriers. Interviewees reported substantial difficulties finding physicians who understand their disabilities and sometimes feel that they must teach their local doctors about their underlying conditions. Interviewees described needing to travel periodically to large medical centers to get necessary specialty care. Many are poor and are either uninsured or have Medicaid coverage, complicating their searches for willing primary care physicians. Because many cannot drive, they face great difficulties getting to their local doctor and especially making long trips to urban centers. Available public transportation often is inaccessible and unreliable. Physicians' offices are sometimes located in old buildings that do not have accessible entrances or equipment. Based on their personal experiences, interviewees perceive that rural areas are generally less sensitive to disability access issues than urban areas. Conclusions. Meeting the health care needs of rural residents with disabilities will require interventions beyond health care, involving transportation and access issues more broadly.Key Words. Disability, rural, accessibility, barriers Rural residents often confront significant barriers when seeking health care, including limited numbers of primary care and specialist physicians nearby, the absence of sophisticated inpatient and diagnostic services, lack of public transportation, and inadequate or absent health insurance coverage, r Health Research and Educational Trust

“…Clinicians may not communicate appropriately, feel comfortable with providing services, carefully examine patients, or offer a full range of CPS if they are unfamiliar with the needs of women with disabilities [23, 38, 39]. While clinicians affirm their need for more disability training and education [40–42], women with disabilities seek clinicians who have disability training [43]. To improve interactions between women with disabilities and their clinicians, researchers suggest assuring disability-competencies among practitioners [23, 44, 45] and empowering women with disabilities to participate in their primary care [46].…”

Tools for Improving Clinical Preventive Services Receipt Among Women with Disabilities of Childbearing Ages and Beyond

Efforts to improve clinical preventive services (CPS) receipt among women with disabilities are poorly understood and not widely disseminated. The reported results represent a 2-year, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs partnership to develop a central resource for existing tools that are of potential use to maternal and child health practitioners who work with women with disabilities. Steps included contacting experts in the fields of disability and women’s health, searching the Internet to locate examples of existing tools that may facilitate CPS receipt, convening key stakeholders from state and community-based programs to determine their potential use of the tools, and developing an online Toolbox. Nine examples of existing tools were located. The tools focused on facilitating use of the CPS guidelines, monitoring CPS receipt among women with disabilities, improving the accessibility of communities and local transportation, and training clinicians and women with disabilities. Stakeholders affirmed the relevance of these tools to their work and encouraged developing a Toolbox. The Toolbox, launched in May 2013, provides information and links to existing tools and accepts feedback and proposals for additional tools. This Toolbox offers central access to existing tools. Maternal and child health stakeholders and other service providers can better locate, adopt and implement existing tools to facilitate CPS receipt among adolescent girls with disabilities who are transitioning into adult care as well as women with disabilities of child-bearing ages and beyond.
