The association of oncology provider density with black-white disparities in cancer mortality in US counties.
In an ecological study of 1048 U.S. counties, researchers examined the association between oncology provider density and Black-White cancer mortality disparities. Oncology provider density was estimated using National Plan and Provider Enumeration System data; the cancer mortality ratio was calculated using cancer mortality rates from State Cancer Profiles. The results showed that higher provider density was associated with significantly lower cancer mortality among White persons, but not among Black persons. The researchers concluded that higher density alone may not resolve cancer mortality disparities, and that attention to ensuring equitable care is critical.

Understanding gender sensitivity of the health care workforce at the Veterans Health Administration.
Gender sensitivity of providers and staff has assumed increasing importance in closing historical gender disparities in health care quality and outcomes. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has implemented several initiatives intended to improve gender sensitivity of its health care workforce. The current study examined practice- and individual-level characteristics associated with gender sensitivity of primary care providers (PCPs) and staff.
