Influences on college health provider practice for routinely screening female college students’ HPV vaccination status
College health centers present unique opportunities to identify unvaccinated female students and offer or refer them for vaccination. Future research needs to examine HPV vaccination status and screening among other types of college students and identify the multi-level factors that act as facilitators and barriers to assessing HPV vaccination status and offering the HPV vaccine
Student Health Services at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Predominantly Black Institutions in the United States
Introduction: Student health services are associated with improved health outcomes and academic success, particularly among under-resourced college populations. This study compared student health services at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) and identified factors associated with the availability of comprehensive health services (CHS). Methods: =167). Bivariate and multivariate logist…
A Multi-Center Structural Equation Modeling Approach to Investigate Interpersonal Violence Screening for Public Health Promotion
Background: Interpersonal violence is a significant public health issue. Routine health screening is a cost-effective strategy that may reduce harmful physical and mental consequences. However, existing research finds consistently low rates of violence screening offered by healthcare providers, e.g., nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians. There is a critical need for research that helps understand how providers' screening behaviors are impacted…
The association between discrimination and the health of Sikh Asian Indians
Consistent with previous discrimination and health reports, this study demonstrated an inverse relationship between discrimination and health among Sikh AIs, an understudied yet high-risk minority population. Community-based efforts are also needed to reduce the occurrence or buffer the effects of discrimination experienced by Sikh AIs. (PsycINFO Database Record
Relationship Satisfaction and Communication Among Urban Minority HIV-Positive and HIV-Negative Mothers
Family relationships influence children's beliefs and behaviors. This work examined qualities associated with communication about alcohol among 176 mothers and the influence of this communication on daughters' alcohol use. Path analyses by maternal HIV status indicated significant differences. Relationship satisfaction was associated with self-efficacy for both HIV-positive (β = 0.545, p < .001) and HIV-negative (β = 0.557, p < .001) mothers. Mat…

Obstetric Fistula
Despite over 40 years of research there has been little progress in the prevention of obstetric fistula and women continue to suffer in unacceptable numbers. Gender power imbalance has consistently been shown to have serious implications for women's reproductive health and is known to persist in regions where obstetric fistula occurs. Yet, there is limited research about the role gender power imbalance plays in childbirth practices that put women…
Talking to Daddy's Little Girl About Sex
Although mothers are widely acknowledged as the primary in-home sexual educators of children, fathers also play an important role in sexual socialization. Paternal involvement is linked to positive social and psychological outcomes; an increased father-daughter communication can delay sexual debut and decrease frequency of engagement in intercourse. This study examined late-adolescent females' reports of their fathers' contributions to their sexu…
The role of mother–daughter sexual risk communication in reducing sexual risk behaviors among urban adolescent females
The Influence of Sexual Risk Communication Between Parents and Daughters on Sexual Risk Behaviors
Two hundred thirty‐four 19‐ to 21‐year‐old women completed interviews that assessed parent‐adolescent relations, sexual communication, and selected sexual risk behaviors and outcomes. Overall, Hispanic–Latina respondents reported less parent‐adolescent sexual communication than others. Early parent‐adolescent sexual communication was associated with later age of sexual initiation, consistent condom use and, indirectly, less likelihood of sexually…
