Abstract

This September/October 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine (JABFM) features a multifaceted discussion on the medical home, plus a selection of health services research and clinical research with a broad base of funding, investigators, and spectrum of primary care settings. Here we highlight studies that provide new/clarifying results,^1–5 mixed results,^6–8 and unexpected results.^6,7 Several reports provide information and data on major tenets of family medicine: Clark et al⁶studied continuity between prenatal care and infant care; Mainous et al⁵ described the long-term personal history importance to future risk of disease; and Merenstein and Merenstein⁹ provide patient feedback on the importance of the doctor-patient relationship.
