“…According to generalized population studies, significant disparity in access to health care between Canada and the United States is present. 26 This finding was substantiated by the United States General Accounting Office in their 1994 report of access to and appropriate use of HCT. 27 Canada was identified as having equivalent, if not superior availability and appropriate utilization of HCT.…”

The hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) was developed at a single center to predict outcomes for allogeneic transplant recipients who have comorbidities. The HCT-CI has not been widely validated in unselected transplant recipients. We evaluated whether the HCT-CI and other readily available pretransplant variables predicted NRM and OS at a Canadian transplant center. Using a prospective cohort design, we analyzed consecutive adult allogeneic HCT recipients. Of 187 patients, HCT-CI risk was low in 22 (12%), intermediate in 50 (27%), high in 104 (55%) and undetermined in 11 (6%). Two-year OS was 45% (95% CI: 24-64%), 55% (95% CI: 40-68%) and 42% (95% CI: 32-51%) in the low, intermediate and high-risk HCT-CI groups, respectively. Two-year NRM was 36% (95% CI: 17-56%), 26% (95% CI: 15-39%) and 30% (95% CI: 22-39%) in the low, intermediate and high-risk HCT-CI groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, the HCT-CI failed to predict OS or NRM. However, KPS of o90% at HCT was a strong predictor of NRM. In conclusion, the HCT-CI was not associated with NRM or OS. In contrast, KPS was an independent indicator of survival. International multi-center studies are required before the HCT-CI is used in clinical practice.

Addressing behavioral health disparities for Somali immigrants through group cognitive behavioral therapy led by community health workers. Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, (doi:10.1007/s10903-015-0338-2).There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher's version if you wish to cite from it. ABSTRACTObjectives: To test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an evidence-based, peerdelivered mental health intervention for Somali women in Minnesota, and to assess the impact of the intervention on the mental health of those who received the training.Methods: In a feasibility study, 11 Somali female community health workers were trained to deliver an 8-session cognitive behavioral therapy intervention. Each of the trainers recruited 5 participants through community outreach, resulting in 55 participants in the intervention. Selfassessed measures of mood were collected from study participants throughout the intervention, and focus groups were conducted.

Access to Care, Health Status, and Health Disparities in the United States and Canada: Results of a Cross-National Population-Based Survey

Abstract: United States residents are less able to access care than are Canadians. Universal coverage appears to reduce most disparities in access to care.
