“…Considering that preventive (primary, secondary and tertiary) (38) healthcare (39–42), access to care, including the availability of a usual source of care (43), and continuity of care (44), and adequate treatment (45, 46) have been linked to better health outcomes and lower healthcare costs, we propose that the dissipation of some of the advantageous demographic factors among immigrants, three-fifths of which are under the age of 45-years, and especially non-citizens, where less than 6% are 65-years or older, is prospectively conducive to higher and delayed pressures on the U.S. healthcare system. Indeed, as both the native and immigrant U.S. populations age and the prevalence of chronic conditions increases, the brunt of these effects could be potentially borne by an overextended healthcare system (47–51); largely the public sector and primarily in the form of more costly services including emergency care and hospitalization.…”

Medical Expenditures Among Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Groups in the United States

Objective To examine time trends and differences in medical expenditures between non-citizens, foreign-born, and U.S.-born citizens. Methods We used multi-year Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (2000–2008) data on non-institutionalized adults in the U.S. (N=190,965). Source specific and total medical expenditures were analyzed using regression models, bootstrap prediction techniques, and linear and non-linear decomposition methods to evaluate the relationship between immigration status and expenditures, controlling for confounding effects. Results We found that the average health expenditures between 2000 and 2008 for non-citizens immigrants ($1,836) were substantially lower compared to both foreign-born ($3,737) and U.S.-born citizens ($4,478). Differences were maintained after controlling for confounding effects. Decomposition techniques showed that the main determinants of these differences were the availability of a usual source of healthcare, insurance, and ethnicity/race. Conclusion Lower healthcare expenditures among immigrants result from disparate access to healthcare. The dissipation of demographic advantages among immigrants could prospectively produce higher pressures on the U.S. healthcare system as immigrants age and levels of chronic conditions rise. Barring a shift in policy, the brunt of the effects could be borne by an already overextended public healthcare system.

“…Although individual smoking cessation is a cost-effective clinical intervention, 121,122 and, along with systems change, is recommended by Best Practices , 38 the reach and impact of the program were low. A DOH evaluation contractor, RTI International, reported in June 2010 that AHECs’ cessation training programs reached just 4.2% of Florida’s physicians, 3.2% of physician assistants, and 2.4% of registered nurses in fiscal year 2009.…”

Strong Tobacco Control Program Requirements and Secure Funding Are Not Enough: Lessons From Florida

Florida's Tobacco Pilot Program (TPP;-2003, with its edgy Truth media campaign, achieved unprecedented youth smoking reductions and became a model for tobacco control programming. In 2006, 3 years after the TPP was defunded, public health groups restored funding for tobacco control programming by convincing Florida voters to amend their constitution. Despite the new program's strong legal structure, Governor Charlie Crist's Department of Health implemented a low-impact program. Although they secured the program's strong structure and funding, Florida's nongovernmental public health organizations did not mobilize to demand a high-impact program. Implementation of Florida's Amendment 4 demonstrates that a strong programmatic structure and secure funding are insufficient to ensure a successful public health program, without external pressure from nongovernmental groups.Large-scale, well-executed state tobacco control programs reduce tobacco use, 1-4 tobaccoinduced disease, 5-7 and health costs. 3,4 Despite this proven effectiveness, many state governments have eliminated or restricted the scope of tobacco control programs, often under pressure from the tobacco industry, [8][9][10] which recognizes such programs' power. 11 In response, tobacco control advocates in some states have tried to create stronger tobacco control program structures to insulate these programs from political attacks. 8,[12][13][14] However, absent consistent pressure from public health groups, strong programmatic structures are not sufficient to protect these programs from attacks or to ensure successful implementation. 8,10,14,15 Following the 1997 settlement of Florida's Medicaid lawsuit against the tobacco industry, Governor Lawton Chiles (D, 1991-1998) immediately created and provided strong political support for Florida's large youth-focused Tobacco Pilot Program (TPP). 16 The TPP and its edgy Truth media campaign, focusing on tobacco industry behavior (a strategy known as industry denormalization 17 ), achieved unprecedented success [18][19][20][21][22] : smoking prevalence among middle school students dropped by 40% and among high school students by 18% during the program's first 2 years ( Figure 1). 24 Despite its success, and perhaps because of the threat the program posed to the tobacco industry, 11,25,26 the TPP was subject to almost Correspondence should be sent to Stanton A.

Children's exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) at home has numerous adverse health effects. This study evaluated the effects of a pediatric in-patient department-based pilot smoking cessation intervention for household members to reduce children's SHS exposure and encourage smoking cessation. A pre-post test design study was designed to assess the effectiveness of a telephone counseling intervention on household members of hospitalized children in pediatric departments. Data were collected with a standardized Chinese language questionnaire. At the three-month follow-up survey, the proportions of household members who reported adopting complete smoking restriction at home (55%), did not smoke at home at all (37%), did not allow others to smoke in the car (70%), or did not allow others to smoke around the child (57%) were significantly higher than the self-reported responses at the baseline survey. The proportions of household members who reported smoking at home (49%) and in the car (22%) were significantly lower than the baseline survey. Overall, 7% of the participants had reported quitting smoking after three months. Pediatric in-patient department-based telephone counseling for smoking cessation was found to be acceptable to Chinese parents. The intervention encouraged few parents to quit smoking, but encouraged more parents to take measures to reduce children's SHS exposure.
