The effects of geography and spatial behavior on health care utilization among the residents of a rural region.
TLDR
Several geographic and spatial behavior factors, including having a driver's license, use of provided rides, and distance for regular care, were significantly related to health care utilization for regular check-up and chronic care in the bivariate analysis.

Attitudes, stress, and satisfaction of staff who care for residents with dementia.
TLDR
Attending to the welfare and ongoing training of workers who have demonstrated job commitment may lessen their tendency to become jaded over time or seek job opportunities elsewhere.

Access to transportation and health care utilization in a rural region.
TLDR
The transportation variables that were significantly associated with health care visits suggest that the underlying conceptual frameworks, the Health Behavior Model and Hagerstrand's time geography, are useful for understanding transportation behavior.

A Comparison of Two Bias‐Corrected Covariance Estimators for Generalized Estimating Equations
TLDR
The methods are illustrated using data from a nested cross-sectional cluster intervention trial on reducing underage drinking and the tendency to undercoverage resulting from the substantial variability of sandwich estimators counteracts the impact of overcorrecting the bias.

A suite of methods for representing activity space in a healthcare accessibility study
TLDR
This work describes the construction and application of the standard deviational ellipse (SDE) at one and two standard deviations, and three additional network-based measures of activity space using common tools in GIS: the road network buffer (RNB), the 30-minute standard travel time polygon (STT), and the relative travel timepolygon (RTT).

Post-traumatic stress outcomes in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors.
TLDR
The impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment persists for many survivors, as evidenced in 39% of this sample, and early identification of those at risk could enable treatment to minimize PTSD symptomatology.

Performance of weighted estimating equations for longitudinal binary data with drop‐outs missing at random
TLDR
This study compares the performance of unweighted and weighted GEE in models for time-specific means of a repeated binary response with MAR drop-outs and finds that the former gave more efficient estimates than the latter when the drop-out model was misspecified.

Deletion diagnostics for generalised estimating equations
SUMMARY Deletion diagnostics are proposed for generalised estimating equations. The diagnostics consider leverage and residuals to measure the influence of a subset of observations on the estimated…

Bone-density testing interval and transition to osteoporosis in older women.
TLDR
The data indicate that osteoporosis would develop in less than 10% of older, postmenopausal women during rescreening intervals of approximately 15 years for women with normal bone density or mild osteopenia, 5 years for menopausal women with moderate oste Openia, and 1 year for Women with advanced oste openia.
