The association between socioeconomic status and disability after stroke: findings from the Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke Longitudinal (AVAIL) registry.
The authors examined the association of three indicators of SES--educational attainment, working status, and perceived adequacy of household income--with disability 3-months following an acute ischemic stroke. They found that 58% of the Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke--Longitudinal study patients had a high school or less education, 61% were not working, and 27% perceived their household income as inadequate prior to their stroke. Thirty five percent of patients were disabled at 3-months. They concluded that, in this cohort of stroke survivors, socioeconomic status was associated with disability following acute ischemic stroke.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Multiple Chronic Conditions Research Network: overview of research contributions and future priorities.
HHS developed the HHS Strategic Framework on Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCC), and AHRQ contributed by funding the MCC Research Network over 45 diverse grants. This paper described a subset of research contributions made in each topic area and made 3 recommendations for future MCC research: (1) include person-centered and person-driven measures and outcomes, (2) consider the person in the context of their relationships and community, and (3) include mental healthcare as an essential part of overall healthcare.

Comprehensive versus consultative rehabilitation services postacute stroke: outcomes differ.
The researchers compared outcomes of veteran patients provided with comprehensive rehabilitation with those provided with consultative rehabilitation services after acute stroke using propensity scores. They found that comprehensive rehabilitation services are associated with greater recovery of physical and cognitive independence, improved home discharge likelihood, and improved 1 yr. survival.

Psychotherapy credibility ratings: patient predictors of credibility and the relation of credibility to therapy outcome.
The researchers examined the relation between credibility ratings for adult psychotherapies and various patient factors as well as the relation between credibility ratings and subsequent symptom change. Their findings indicate that patient beliefs after a brief exposure to treatment may influence symptom improvement. Age and education may influence the patient’s beliefs about the credibility of a treatment.
