TL;DR: Differences among sociodemographic subgroups in the observed quality of health care are small in comparison with the gap for each subgroup between observed and desirable quality ofhealth care.

TL;DR: Results suggest that there are urbanicity-related differences in the functional form of the association between income and early achievement, with nonlinear associations in urban and suburban areas and a linear relationship in rural areas.

TL;DR: Shiffman et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the role that craving plays in turning smoking lapses into relapses and found that increased craving during an abstinent period (i.e., pre-lapse craving) represents an aversive state from which the smoker seeks relief by smoking.

TL;DR: Previously abstinent smokers who lapse are at risk for increased cigarette cravings and consequently, full-blown relapse, and these results have implications for both cognitive-behavioral treatments for relapse prevention and for medications designed to help smokers manage cravings.

TL;DR: Retail clinics may disrupt two aspects of primary care: whether patients go to a PCP first for new conditions and continuity of care, but they do not negatively impact preventive care or diabetes management.
