Measuring impact of storyline engagement on health knowledge, attitudes, and norms
Background: "Cest la Vie!" (CLV) is a serial drama that entertains, educates, and promotes positive health behaviors and social change for West African audiences. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if watching the CLV Season 2 series online had an impact on people's health knowledge, attitudes, and norms, focusing on populations in francophone West Africa. Methods: Between July 2019 and October 2019, viewers of CLV and non-viewers were rec…
Factors Influencing the Use of Domestic Violence Restraining Orders in Los Angeles
Domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs), although a widely used legal intervention in preventing future risk of intimate partner violence (IPV), there is a lack of documentation on the facilitators and barriers of utilization of DVROs among IPV survivors in Los Angeles County (LAC). We conducted 19 key informant interviews with various professionals working in domestic violence prevention in LAC. Factors such as survivors' motivation, ease o…
A corner store intervention to improve access to fruits and vegetables in two Latino communities
Objective Investments have been made to alter the food environment of neighbourhoods that have a disproportionate number of unhealthy food venues. Corner store conversions are one strategy to increase access to fruits and vegetables (F&V). Although the literature shows modest success, the effectiveness of these interventions remains equivocal. The present paper reports on the evaluation of Proyecto MercadoFRESCO, a corner store conversion interve…
Evaluating Strategies For Reducing Health Disparities By Addressing The Social Determinants Of Health
The opportunities for healthy choices in homes, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces can have decisive impacts on health. We review scientific evidence from promising interventions focused on the social determinants of health and discuss how such interventions can improve population health and reduce health disparities. We found sufficient evidence of successful outcomes to support disparity-reducing policy interventions targeted at education a…
Substantial improvements not seen in health behaviors following corner store conversions in two Latino food swamps
Results suggest limited effectiveness of food retail interventions on improving health behaviors. Future research should focus on other strategies to reduce community-level obesity
Access to and Use of Health Care Services Among Latinos in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights
This study examined differences in access, utilization, and barriers to health care by nativity, language spoken at home, and insurance status in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights, California. Data from household interviews of neighborhood residents conducted as part of a corner store intervention project were used. Binary and multinomial logistic regression models were fitted. Results showed that uninsured and foreign-born individuals were diff…
Perceptions about Recovery Needs and Drug-Avoidance Recovery Behaviors among Youth in Substance Abuse Treatment
Findings highlight essential aspects of recovery in terms of need and drug-avoidance behaviors considered important to youth in treatment. Such information will help to better address clinical and recovery support models aimed at relapse prevention to ensure that the perceived problems of substance-abusing youth are adequately met
Understanding Recovery Barriers
Youth perceptions about relapse during treatment should be used to better inform clinical approaches and shape early-intervention recovery agendas for substance-abusing youth
Risk Communication for Public Health Emergencies
This review defines crisis risk communication, traces its origins to a number of applied fields, and then shows how basic principles have become incorporated into emergency preparedness and risk communication for public health. Literature from four different disciplines that inform crisis risk communications are reviewed. These are (a) environmental risk communication, (b) disaster management, (c) health promotion and communication, and (d) media…
Comparison of Traffic Accident and Chronic Disease Risk Perceptions
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether having a commonly identified risk factor for certain chronic diseases or accidents predicted higher perceptions of risk for those health problems, Methods: Survey data from 618 adults in a southeastern metropolitan area were used. Health status and socio-demographic measures were identified as risk factors and examined as predictors off risk perceptions, Results: Older, less healthy adults saw themselves at greater ri…
Safety behaviors of mothers of young children
We explore the relative contribution of cognitive, stress, and background variables as factors that explain safety behaviors of parents of young children. The data set was a probability sample of mothers of young children ( N= 1247). The focus of survey questions was predominantly home safety, a setting where young children are at highest risk for injury. We tested hypotheses using structural equations models. Our analyses indicate that stress an…
The redefinition of the situation
This paper is based on interviews with 160 persons who were participants in spiritual healing groups in Baltimore between 1981 and 1983. Survey data are used to describe how participants in spiritual healing groups presented their health problems, and how and if these problems were resolved or 'healed' over a six-month period. The majority of respondents claimed some degree of healing, associated mainly with symptom alleviation rather than cure. …
Malaria Treatment Practices Among Mothers in Guinea
A survey of mothers of young children in Guinea, West Africa (June-July 1988) suggests that individual, sociocultural, and structural factors influence the use of antimalarials for episodes of fever presumed to be malaria. A survey of 243 mothers was carried out in eight different sites (four urban and four rural) in two regions of the country. Among mothers interviewed, use of Western antimalarials for infants and children with fever was accepta…
