Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

479
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Longitudinal Research

13.1K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

2.3K
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Policy
  • Community Health

Background:

  • The Ottawa Charter emphasizes intersectoral collaboration for health.
  • Persistent health inequalities necessitate innovative approaches.
  • Diverse sector collaborations face political, organizational, and cultural barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the formation and sustainability of a multi-sector collaboration.
  • To understand how intersectoral collaboration can address health inequalities.
  • To examine challenges and facilitators in a Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC).

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal qualitative study design.
  • Two-time point interviews with collaboration constituents (12 months apart).
  • Exploration of collaboration dynamics in a UK geographic area.

Main Results:

  • A clear, shared vision and complementary skill-sets (community brokerage, academic rigor, statutory legitimacy) were identified.
  • Early-stage collaborations experienced cultural and practical tensions.
  • Issues included trust, pace of work, and differing philosophies.

Conclusions:

  • Intersectoral collaborations show promise for tackling health inequalities.
  • Effective collaboration requires careful monitoring to navigate emerging tensions.
  • Sustainability depends on addressing challenges in ways of working and philosophy.
