Warm Up: Levi had an
awesome trip but be careful of overnight boats that catch fire
2.
NHIS as a
source for refugee status – Justine
a. The goal is a
secondary research study that could evaluate pain status of refugees as
compared to U.S. citizens
b. The data
available for identifying characteristics related to refugees is limited to
categories that combine countries, countries, regions, citizenship status
(which includes people with green cards), length of time of citizen ship
i.
Stratify by country
c. Supplemental
study on pain in 2012-13 focused on refugees; consider this as a data set to
set up comparisons
d. Next steps in
the next two weeks
i.
Look at refugee data set: size of data set
ii.
Look at NHIS data set for US category, filtered for citizenship
and place of birth, 2012
3.
RTC study
underway comparing 2 PT interventions for chronic pain in refugees who have
been tortured and traumatized – Justine
a. One year ago:
85 people on waiting list – hopeful for reaching n of 100 in protocol
b. Graduate
student screening is very slow: screened 10 in one semester, rather than 50;
referrals are very slow – why? Consider:
i.
Examining the screening process first hand: is it working as
expected?
ii.
Attend the meetings and remind them of presence/interest
iii.
Expanding the eligibility criteria to include more refugees
c. The six
screeners have continued from last semester, but vary in confidence level
4.
Future sessions:
a. 9/12: Levi?
b. 9/19: Connie-
