Planners Vs. Non-Planners: Do Preterm Births Impact Future Contraceptive Use?, Jessie Moore
Planners Vs. Non-Planners: Do Preterm Births Impact Future Contraceptive Use?, Jessie Moore
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
Background: In the United States, 45% of all pregnancies are unintended and occur when contraception is not used or is used inconsistently. Among those pregnancies, 1 in 10 women will experience a preterm birth, which is defined as a birth occurring before 37 weeks gestation. Women who have delivered preterm are at an increased risk for preterm birth in future pregnancies and are encouraged to wait at least 18 months between giving birth and getting pregnant again. Among women who have experienced a preterm birth, the desire to delay future pregnancy or avoiding it all together often becomes a necessity …

The allocation of organs is a constantly evolving area of transplantation. The latest iteration of this process is a move toward continuous distribution of organs. This process considers dynamic factors instead of static constraints that box patients into certain categories. The expected post-transplant survival of patients is one of these dynamic factors that will be included in the assessment of patients' place in a continuous distribution allocation process. However, the predictive value of this construct is questionable, given that it uses only four factors (age, diabetes diagnosis, years on dialysis, and previous transplant) to represent complex patients who are on …
Positive Parenting With Guyanese Children, Parthener Pinder
Positive Parenting With Guyanese Children, Parthener Pinder
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
During the earliest years of life, a child has rapid neurological development. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), such as Guyana, there continues to be a struggle to educate all children, especially those in rural or isolated areas leading to concerns about young children's development, particularly those under five. LMICs have little research on how caregiver positive parenting in the household affects early childhood development as well as how other sociodemographic factors influence positive parenting. This study answers the question: Does positive parenting in the household improve learning development in Guyanese children? This study used Guyana’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey …
“High Spending, Poor Productivity Gains!” Assessing Public Health System (In)Efficiency And Hospital Performance In The State Of Kuwait: Would More Private Delivery Improve Healthcare?, Aljawhara Alsabah
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
The healthcare sector in the State of Kuwait has been nurtured for many decades by the government, where the majority of health services in the country are controlled by the Ministry of Health (MoH). Although healthcare services in public sector hospitals are at highly subsidized rates, causing private sector involvement in healthcare to be considerably low, the growing demands for private delivery of care burgeoned participation of private hospitals in Kuwait, and improving hospital efficiency and productivity is more critical and timelier than ever. This dissertation aims to analyze public health system efficiency and hospital performance in the State of …
Deploying Care Managers From Care Management Agencies Into Primary Care: A Pilot Study, Lauren Klein Levine
Deploying Care Managers From Care Management Agencies Into Primary Care: A Pilot Study, Lauren Klein Levine
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
Background: As the nation shifts to value based payment programs (VBP), financial incentives drive primary care providers (PCPs) to improve outcomes and reduce costs. One method to drive physicians to focus their practices and to increase time working at the top of their licenses is the use of care management (CM) services to meet these goals but the resources needed to implement CM are a barrier. In the Hudson Valley, PCPs embedded local CM staff to provide CM services. This study assesses the provider and care manager perceived patient outcomes from CM, barriers to successful implementation, resources required, total cost …
