Sustaining successful clinical-community partnerships in medically underserved urban areas: a qualitative case study.
This qualitative case study examines the Faith Community Health Partnership, which is a collaboration between faith-community nurses and community organizations sustained over 25 years. Factors supporting partnership sustainability were identified through semi-structured interviews with 18 FHCP partners. Factors include maintaining partners’ commitment over time; strategic resource-sharing; facilitating engagement; and preserving partnership flexibility.

Follow-up and time to treatment in an urban cohort of children with sleep-disordered breathing.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate follow-up and timing of sleep-disordered breathing diagnosis and treatment in urban children referred from primary care. Researchers found that half of the children referred for sleep-disordered breathing evaluation are lost to follow-up from primary care. Obstructive sleep apnea severity did not predict follow-up or timeliness of treatment. They conclude that these findings suggest social determinants may pose barriers to care in addition to the clinical burden of sleep-disordered breathing.
