This infrastructure and the collective clinical and scientific expertise among the accredited programs are wellpositioned to coordinate the identification of specific core competencies and skill sets needed by clinicians to best serve populations who experience tobacco-related disparities and contribute to the curricular content.…”

Commentary: Educational and Clinical Training Considerations for Addressing Tobacco-Related Cancer Health Disparities

In the United States, tobacco use is a leading contributor to inequities in cancer health among individuals for many ethnic, racial, sexual minority, and other minority groups as well as individuals in lower socioeconomic groups and other underserved populations. Despite remarkable decreases in tobacco use prevalence rates in the United States over the past 50 years, the benefits of tobacco control efforts are not equitably distributed. Tobacco-related disparities include higher prevalence rates of smoking, lower rates of quitting, less robust responses to standard evidence-based treatments, substandard tobacco treatment delivery by health care providers, and an increased burden of tobacco-related cancers and other diseases. Among the multiple critical barriers to achieving progress in reducing tobacco treatment-related disparities, there are several educational barriers including a unidimensional or essentialist conceptualizations of the disparities; a tobacco treatment workforce unprepared to address the needs of tobacco users from underserved groups; and known research-to-practice gaps in understanding, assessing, and treating tobacco use among underserved groups. We propose the development of competency-based curricula that: 1) use intersectionality as an organizing framework for relevant knowledge; 2) teach interpersonal skills, such as expressing sociocultural respect, a lack of cultural superiority, and empathy as well as skills for developing other-oriented therapeutic relations; and 3) are grounded in the science of the evidence-based treatments for tobacco dependence. These curricula could be disseminated nationally in multiple venues and would represent significant progress toward addressing tobacco-related disparities.

“…The application of Dillman's Tailored Design Method has been successful in achieving a high response rate (range 56%-86%) from healthcare providers on a variety of health topics (Abatemarco, Steinberg, and Delnevo 2007;Delnevo, Abatemarco, and Steinberg 2004;Ferrante et al 2008Ferrante et al , 2009Steinberg et al 2011). More recently, other strategies have been explored for healthcare provider surveys to combat declining response rates including web-based and mixed mode surveys (Millar and Dillman 2011).…”

BackgroundAchieving a high response rate for physicians has been challenging, and with response rates declining in recent years, innovative methods are needed to increase rates. An emerging concept in survey methodology has been web-push survey delivery. With this delivery method, contact is made by mail to request a response by web. This study explored the feasibility of a web-push survey on a national sample of physicians. MethodsA total of 1,000 physicians across six specialties were randomly assigned to a mailonly or web-push survey delivery. Each mode consisted of four contacts including an initial mailing, reminder postcard, and two additional follow-ups. Response rates were calculated using the American Association for Public Opinion Research's response rate 3 calculation. Data collection occurred between Febuary and April 2018; data were analyzed March 2019. ResultsOverall reponse rates for the mail-only versus web-push survey delivery were comparable (51.2% vs. 52.8%). Higher response rates across all demographics were seen in the web-push delivery, with the exception of pulmonary/critical care and physicians over the age of 65. The web-push survey yielded a greater response after the first mailing, requiring fewer follow-up contacts resulting in a more costeffective delivery. ConclusionsA web-push mail survey is effective in achieving a comparable response rate to traditional mail-only delivery for physicians. The web-push survey was more efficient in terms of cost and in receiving responses in a more timely manner. Future research should explore the efficiency of a web-push survey delivery across various health care provider populations.

“…Strategies included are a respondent friendly questionnaire, repeated follow up, and incentive (8,9). The TDM has been successful in achieving a high response rate (range 56%-86%) from health care providers on a variety of health topics (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). More recently, other strategies have been explored for health care providers surveys to combat declining response rates including web based and mixed mode surveys (15).…”
