Component Analysis and Initial Validity of the Exercise Fear Avoidance Scale
Psychometric properties of this scale suggest it may be useful for tailoring exercise prescriptions to address fear of exercise-related discomfort
Worse than HIV' or 'not as serious as other diseases'? Conceptualization of cervical cancer among newly screened women in Zambia
Fear of physical response to exercise among overweight and obese adults
Regular physical activity has been shown to have significant impact on both physical and mental health; however, over half of adults in the US do not meet current recommendations for physical activity. Pain is one of the most commonly cited barriers to physical activity among adults. Fear of pain has been shown to have a significant correlation with pain-related disorders including back pain and arthritis, but no studies have examined the role th…
A process evaluation of the implementation of a computer-based, health provider-delivered HIV-prevention intervention for HIV-positive men who have sex with men in the primary care setting
There is increasing interest in using healthcare providers to deliver HIV-prevention services to their patients. Unfortunately, lack of counselling skills and time constraints within busy clinics serve as barriers to such efforts. The Providers Advocating for Sexual Health Initiative (PASHIN) study used state-of-the-art computer technology to assess each participant's risk behaviours and to determine the patient's readiness for changing each beha…
Depressive Symptoms and Interpersonal Victimization Among African American Women Attending an Urban STD Clinic
HIV risk among long‐haul truckers in the USA
Long-haul truck driving has been associated with HIV risk in developing countries but little research to date has considered whether truckers in the USA may also be at elevated risk for HIV and other STIs. This multi-method qualitative study explored HIV-risk factors among regional and cross-country truck drivers who were based in the southeastern USA. Data collection methods included focus groups conducted at company hubs and over Citizen's Band…
The Theory of Reasoned Action and Intention to Seek Cancer Information
Objectives : To evaluate the applicability of the theory of reasoned action to explain men's intentions to seek prostate cancer information. Methods : Three hundred randomly selected African American men participated in telephone interviews. Correlational and regression analyses were conducted to examine relationships among measures. Results : All relationships were significant in regression analyses. Attitudes and subjective norm were significan…

Vaginal Douches and Other Feminine Hygiene Products
Provider-delivered, Theory-based, Individualized Prevention Interventions for HIV Positive Adults Receiving HIV Comprehensive Care
Prevalence of Condom Use Errors Among STD Clinic Patients
Behavioral interventions that promote consistent condom use must provide the necessary skills associated with proper condom use
Condom Use Among Low-Income African American Males Attending an STD Clinic
Based on their STD clinic attendance, these men obviously perceive themselves at risk for STDs, but appear to cope with this risk by choosing to engage in secondary rather than primary preventive behaviors
Integrating Behavioral Theory to Understand Hepatitis B Vaccination Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
Relationships between stages of change and theory-based constructs from the health belief model and the social learning theory follow predicted patterns suggesting that these theories may provide useful frameworks for understanding vaccination readiness and intervention strategy development among MSM
Feasibility of a Tailored Intervention Targeting STD-related Behaviors
An urban, primarily African American sample of STD clinic patients was receptive to this tailored, multimedia intervention
The Transtheoretical Model of Change Applied to Developing Suicidal Behavior
The Transtheoretical Model of Change (TMC) is investigated as a tool for explaining and diagnosing suicidal behavior. Investigators found in a sample of 42 hospitalized suicide ideators and attempters, that most patients had progressed through the stages of change as predicted by the TMC, and that ten change processes (psychological states or experiences) defined by the TMC, were used systematically in association with specific stages of change. …
Relationships of Stigma and Shame to Gonorrhea and HIV Screening
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationships between stigma and shame associated with seeking treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and undergoing testing for gonorrhea and HIV. Methods. Participants were 847 males and 1126 females (mean age: 24.9 years) in 7 cities. Two scales assessed STD-related stigma and STD-related shame. Results. Rates of stigma and shame were higher among participants without a gonorr…
Stages of Readiness for Changing Multiple Risk Behaviors Among Incarcerated Male Adolescents
Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS) for women
Four studies were conducted to develop and validate the Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS), a measure of sexual assertiveness in women that consists of factors measuring initiation, refusal, and pregnancy-sexually transmitted disease prevention assertiveness. A total of 1,613 women from both university and community populations were studied. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the 3 factors remained stable across samples of university an…
