The Future Of Community Health Center Executive Leadership A Mixed-Method Formative Evaluation, Lizbeth Bayardo Cardenas
The Future Of Community Health Center Executive Leadership A Mixed-Method Formative Evaluation, Lizbeth Bayardo Cardenas
CGU Theses & Dissertations
This is a formative evaluation study of the California Primary Care Association's (CPCA) Leadership Equity Program, developed in response to the need for greater alignment between the communities accessing care provided by Community Health Centers and the representativeness of their future executive leaders. Community Health Centers (CHC) are a critical network of primary healthcare systems that deliver high-quality, comprehensive healthcare services to patients predominantly from under-resourced and marginalized communities of color. The study used a mixed-method concurrent triangulation design to describe how participants perceived the program achieved its goals and objectives using Kirkpatrick's Model and systems thinking. The study integrated …
Racial And Ethnic Disparities In Diabetes-Related Healthcare Service Use In The United States, 2016–2020, Gaole Song
Racial And Ethnic Disparities In Diabetes-Related Healthcare Service Use In The United States, 2016–2020, Gaole Song
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Diabetes is a serious public health issue in the United States. As one of the leading causes of death, the prevalence of diabetes has increased steadily and leads to an enormous medical and societal burden each year. Compared to non-Hispanic White adults, racial/ethnic minority adults have a higher risk to develop diabetes and its complications. Proper healthcare service use is important for reducing the prevalence of diabetes and the risk of complications. However, minority populations receive a lower quality healthcare service and have greater barriers to diabetes self-management. To get a better understanding of racial disparities in diabetes-related healthcare service …
Emergency Department Use Among Probationers Enrolled In The Riverside University Health System, Whole-Person Care Pilot Program, Nirshila Chand
Emergency Department Use Among Probationers Enrolled In The Riverside University Health System, Whole-Person Care Pilot Program, Nirshila Chand
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Formerly incarcerated individuals suffer from poor health outcomes and often overuse emergency department (ED) services because of a lack of access to care and insurance coverage upon reentry to their community. The Riverside County Whole Person Care (WPC) pilot program implemented by Riverside University Health System (RUHS) was designed as a reentry program developed to address these challenges and ensure that releasees successfully transition back into the community. The primary aim of this project was to assess whether participating in the RUHS WPC program reduced emergency department (ED) use among recent releasees. This was a cross-sectional retrospective study of formerly …

Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional study design and used a self-administered online survey through Qualtrics software. The survey was distributed through the Saudi Society for Diabetes (SSD) whose membership includes more than five-thousand active physicians from all regions of Saudi Arabia. There were 493 respondents to the survey. Results: Around …

Access To Medication-Assisted Treatment For Opioid Dependence In The United States – Identifying Implications For Policy And Practice, Mofoluwake Adeniyi
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Americans make and use the most opioids in the world. Although comprising somewhat less than 5% of the world’s population, the United States (US) produces approximately 90% of the global supply of Hydrocodone and consumes an estimated 80% of the total international supply. It is not surprising, therefore, that the American opioid epidemic, particularly as it involves adults (those 18 years and older), is worsening—Indeed, President Trump declared it a national public health emergency. Many therefore anticipate that the US Congress will enact evidence-informed policies to address the opioid crisis. Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a pattern of opioid use …
A Multinational Study Of The Etiology And Clinical Teleology Of Moral Evaluations Of Patient Behaviors, Anna Yu Lee
A Multinational Study Of The Etiology And Clinical Teleology Of Moral Evaluations Of Patient Behaviors, Anna Yu Lee
CGU Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation is a collection of four studies which collectively explore a hypothesized construct of ‘moral evaluation of patient behaviors’ (MEPB) as a driver of health professionals’ readiness to interact humanistically with their patients. In these studies, ‘humanistic interactions’ refer to the non-technical, intangible skills and factors of clinical competence; the factors specifically explored in these studies were compassion toward patients, self-efficacy for treating patients, and optimism toward patient treatment. For the purpose of specificity, all factors were examined as they pertained to patients with substance use disorders. Survey data from a convenience sample of 524 health professionals (i.e. physicians, …
