  7. A new level of understanding. Health insurers are developing health literacy initiatives and taking steps to help consumers get clear information.

    Kantor, Aileen

    2006-01-01

    Education experts are issuing an important warning to their health care colleagues: Few Americans understand their health care information. That's the conclusion drawn from a National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) survey that assessed the health literacy of 19,000 adults, only to conclude that the nation's health literacy is dangerously low and may even become a health risk for some. The data, which revealed that fewer than one in six adults and only one in three seniors has proficient health literacy--defined as an ability to understand, read, interpret, and then act on health care information--shed new light on health literacy as a significant operational issue for health care, business, and health plan executives.

  8. A comparative analysis of the impact of a positive list system on new chemical entity drugs and incrementally modified drugs in South Korea.

    2011-07-01

    Medical costs in South Korea have risen, in part due to increased demand and consumption of pharmaceutical products by an aging population and also because of the introduction of newer, more expensive drugs. In an effort to stabilize the financing of health insurance and alleviate the financial burden on individuals, the government implemented a policy changing the national health insurance drug-listing system from a negative list system to a positive list system (PLS). The goal of this study was to compare differences in drug-listing rates for new chemical entities (NCEs) and incrementally modified drugs (IMDs) after South Korea introduced the PLS in December 2006. Parameters significantly affecting NCE and IMD listings were also identified. New drug-listing data for 2007 and 2008 were obtained from the databases of the Health Insurance Review Agency and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Descriptive analyses on the reimbursement rate and logistic regression analysis were conducted. Statistical significance was tested for all results, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 150 reimbursement applications (79 for NCEs, 71 for IMDs) were examined for this study. The overall drug-listing rate was lower than before the introduction of the PLS. Drug reimbursement rates for NCEs (50.6%) were lower than those for IMDs (74.6%) (P = 0.0025). However, the price negotiation rate was 85.0% for NCEs compared with 73.6% for IMDs (P = 0.1847). The time required for both reimbursement and drug pricing was significantly longer for NCE than for IMD listings (P < 0.05). Cost-effectiveness and budget impact were 2 significant variables affecting the listing of NCEs. However, no significant variable was identified for IMDs. The PLS challenges the drug-listing system by decreasing the drug-listing rate and lengthening the period for reimbursement determinations. These effects were more pronounced for NCE listings than for IMD listings. Crown Copyright © 2011. Published by EM Inc USA. All rights reserved.

  20. New chemical entities and their market penetration in Finland during the years 1996 through 2005.

    Martikainen, Jaana E; Enlund, Hannes

    2009-03-01

    There is little empirical information about the role of new chemical entities (NCEs) and to what extent they are being adopted in modern health care. We aimed to investigate which NCEs were launched in Finland during the years 1996 through 2005 and how they penetrated the market in Finland. NCEs were identified from Finnish drug compendiums and verified from marketing authorization and drug wholesale databases. Market penetration was determined by extracting data about outpatient drug costs and consumption in the year 2005 from drug wholesale databases. Of the 294 NCEs introduced in 1996 through 2005, 55% were authorized nationally and 45% by the European Commission. Two hundred two NCEs (69%) had pharmacy sales in 2005. Most NCEs were for cancer (19), infections (18), cardiovascular diseases (17), and pain and arthritis (14). NCEs introduced from 1996 through 2005 comprised 38% of total outpatient prescription drug costs and 19% of the total volume of NCEs used by outpatients in 2005. The corresponding figures for the NCEs introduced in 2001 through 2005 were 11% and 4%. All drugs for dementia and multiple sclerosis, all biological drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, and most drugs for erectile dysfunction and osteoporosis were introduced during the study period. The cost of NCEs also accounted for >50% of costs for drugs to treat hyperlipidemia, peptic ulcer, psychosis, and diabetes mellitus. The use of NCEs was greater when measured in monetary value than in volume. The overall costs of NCEs introduced from 1996 through 2005 were high in several major drug classes, although their share of overall use was modest when measured in volume. The market penetration of drugs introduced during 2001 through 2005 was still rather low in 2005.

  2. Trends in Gender Segregation in the Choice of Science and Engineering Majors*

    Mann, Allison; DiPrete, Thomas A.

    2013-01-01

    Numerous theories have been put forward for the high and continuing levels of gender segregation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, but research has not systematically examined the extent to which these theories for the gender gap are consistent with actual trends. Using both administrative data and four separate longitudinal studies sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), we evaluate several prominent explanations for the persisting gender gap in STEM fields related to mathematics performance and background and general life goals, and find that none of them are empirically satisfactory. Instead, we suggest that the structure of majors and their linkages to professional training and careers may combine with gender differences in educational goals to influence the persisting gender gap in STEM fields. An analysis of gendered career aspirations, course-taking patterns, and pathways to medical and law school supports this explanation. PMID:24090849

    A diverse and highly qualified chemistry teaching workforce is critical for preparing equally diverse, qualified STEM professionals. Here, we analyze National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) data to provide a demographic comparison of the U.S. secondary chemistry teaching population in high-needs and non-high-needs public schools as well as private schools during the 2011–2012 academic year. Our analysis reveals that the chemistry teaching workforce is predominantly white and significantly lacks in-field degrees or certification across school types, though high-needs and private schools are most affected by this lack of teacher qualification. Given these results, we attempt to retrosynthetically identify the pathway yielding a qualified chemistry teaching workforce to draw attention to the various steps in this scheme where reform efforts on the part of individual faculty, academic institutions, and organizations can be concentrated.

  11. Scaling up our understanding of non-consumptive effects in insect systems

    DOE PAGES

    Hermann, Sara L.; Landis, Douglas A.

    2017-04-06

    Here, non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators on prey is an important topic in insect ecology with potential applications for pest management. NCEs are changes in prey behavior and physiology that aid in predation avoidance. While NCEs can have positive outcomes for prey survival there may also be negative consequences including increased stress and reduced growth. These effects can cascade through trophic systems influencing ecosystem function. Most NCEs have been studied at small spatial and temporal scales. However, recent studies show promise for the potential to manipulate NCEs for pest management.

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Hermann, Sara L.; Landis, Douglas A.

    Here, non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators on prey is an important topic in insect ecology with potential applications for pest management. NCEs are changes in prey behavior and physiology that aid in predation avoidance. While NCEs can have positive outcomes for prey survival there may also be negative consequences including increased stress and reduced growth. These effects can cascade through trophic systems influencing ecosystem function. Most NCEs have been studied at small spatial and temporal scales. However, recent studies show promise for the potential to manipulate NCEs for pest management. We suggest the next frontier for NCE studies includes manipulatingmore » the landscape of fear to improve pest control, which requires scaling-up to field and landscape levels, over ecologically relevant time frames.« less

  20. Benchmarking Student Diversity at Public Universities in the United States: Accounting for State Population Composition

    PubMed Central

    Franklin, Rachel S.

    2014-01-01

    Regions rely at least partially on the internal production of a qualified workforce in order to maintain their economic competitiveness. Increasingly, at least from a university or corporate point of view, a qualified workforce is viewed as one that is racially and ethnically diverse. However, the conceptualization and measurement of ethnic and racial diversity in higher education appears to be often based on normative values rather than solid benchmarks, making any regional comparisons or goals difficult to specify. Ideally, at least as a starting point, public state universities would, while attempting to increase overall student diversity, benchmark their progress against the state population composition. This paper combines enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) with U.S. Census Bureau population estimates data to provide a point of comparison for state universities. The paper has two goals: first a university-level comparison of diversity scores, as measured by the interaction index and, second, an analysis of how university student population composition compares to that of the population the university was originally intended to serve – the state population. PMID:25506123

    2016-04-01

    In 1998, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the first guidance for industry regarding pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in renally impaired patients. This study aimed to determine if the FDA renal PK guidance influenced the frequency and rigor of renal studies conducted for new chemical entities (NCEs). FDA-approved package inserts (APIs) and clinical pharmacology review documents were analyzed for 194 NCEs approved from 1999 to 2010. Renal studies were conducted in 71.6% of NCEs approved from 1999 to 2010, a significant increase over the 56.3% conducted from 1996 to 1997 (P = .0242). Renal studies were more likely to be completed in highly renally excreted drugs (fe ≥ 30%) compared with drugs with low renal excretion, fe < 30% (89.6% vs 65.8%, P = .0015). PK studies to assess the impact of dialysis were conducted for 31.7% of NCEs that had a renal study: a greater proportion of high fe NCEs were studied (44.2% vs 26.0%, P = .0335). No significant change in frequency or rigor of PK studies was detected over time. The majority of NCEs (76.3%) with a renal study provided specific dosing recommendations in the API. The adoption of the 1998 FDA guidance has resulted in improved availability of PK and drug-dosing recommendations, particularly for high fe drugs. © 2015, The American College of Clinical Pharmacology.

  17. Partitioning the non‑consumptive effects of predators on preywith complex life histories

    USGS Publications Warehouse

    Davenport, Jon M.; Hossack, Blake R.; Lowe, Winsor H.

    2014-01-01

    Non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators on prey can be as strong as consumptive effects (CEs) and may be driven by numerous mechanisms, including predator characteristics. Previous work has highlighted the importance of predator characteristics in predicting NCEs, but has not addressed how complex life histories of prey could mediate predator NCEs. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the effects of predator gape limitation (gape limited or not) and hunting mode (active or sit-and-pursue) on the activity, larval period, and size at metamorphosis of larval aquatic amphibians and invertebrates. Larval prey tended to reduce their activity and require more time to reach metamorphosis in the presence of all predator functional groups, but the responses did not differ from zero. Prey metamorphosed at smaller size in response to non-gape-limited, active predators, but counter to expectations, prey metamorphosed larger when confronted by non-gape-limited, sit-and-pursue predators. These results indicate NCEs on larval prey life history can be strongly influenced by predator functional characteristics. More broadly, our results suggest that understanding predator NCEs would benefit from greater consideration of how prey life history attributes mediate population and community-level outcomes.
