A Scoping Review of Interventions for Men Convicted of Violence Against Women
This scoping review maps interventions delivered specifically to men who are convicted, incarcerated, or paroled for violence against women. Thirty-eight articles were identified. Most programs use a single therapeutic approach with a mix of qualitative and quantitative assessments. Evidence for recidivism and other distal behavioral outcomes was mixed, inconsistent, and limited across the included studies; programs showed more consistent promise…
A Scoping Review of Preventive Interventions to Reduce Violence Against Women Across Southeast Asian Countries
Violence against women (VAW) remains pervasive throughout Southeast Asia, with profound health, social, and economic consequences. To identify what peer-reviewed interventions are available to address violence against women in Southeast Asia, this scoping review aimed to identify and synthesize preventive interventions addressing VAW across the 11 countries of Southeast Asia. Guided by PRISMA-ScR and PICOS frameworks, nine academic databases were…
Nutrition Education Interventions for the d/Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing
The d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) population, of all ages, is at increased risk for poor dietary habits that may lead to health complications, given the lack of accessible and inclusive nutrition education from a range of providers. Given these challenges and the urgent need for inclusive health education, this systematic scoping review critically assessed the nature, scope, effectiveness, and best practices of nutrition-focused interventions …
A scoping review of gender-based violence interventions conducted in Afghanistan
Despite sparse evidence, existing interventions suggest that context-sensitive, community-driven, and multi-sectoral approaches can promote gender equity and resilience. Expanding locally led GBV-prevention programs integrated into health and social systems can assist in reducing violence and achieving equitable health outcomes for Afghan women and families
Running Head
Black women's maternal experiences are shaped by historical inequities, racialized stereotypes, and institutional neglect. The endorsement of the SBW stereotype has been shown to lead to coping strategies like "identity shifting," where Black women alter their behaviors to mitigate discrimination. Culturally responsive care models, provider training, and policy reforms centered on Black maternal voices are urgently needed to disrupt systemic harm…
Community-Engaged Research Informing Upstream Determinants of Cancer Prevention for People with Criminal Legal System Involvement
Background: Cancer prevention and early detection efforts traditionally focus on knowledge about and access to screening services; however, upstream approaches such as health care policy interventions are equally important. Our research team collaborated with women with criminal legal system involvement (CLSI) to prioritize upstream determinants of cervical cancer for future intervention. Objectives: To convene stakeholder groups of women with CL…

Reducing Violence Against Women and Girls in the Arab League
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #5 (Gender Equity) includes violence against women and girls (VAWG), considering it as a violation of the rights of women and girls. The variety of risk factors for VAWG in Arab countries suggests the need to identify effective interventions to guide practitioners and policy makers. A systematic review of preventive interventions across the Arab League examined the outcomes of VAWG. Authors registered the stu…

BACKGROUND: The long history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resulted in a public and mental health crisis. Despite the significant mental health burdens facing the Palestinian population in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and refugee camps, this issue remains comprehensively unexplored. AIMS: This scoping review identified mental health interventions and assessed their effectiveness among populations in the OPT and Palestinian…
Feasibility and acceptability of a community health worker administered behavioral activation intervention for postpartum depression
This ASHA-delivered BA intervention was found to be feasible, acceptable, and effective in treating PPD in rural Indian mothers. This corroborates literature that demonstrates the efficacy of a BA intervention among individuals with generalized depression in South Asia. In communities with minimal mental health resources, interventions led by trained community workers have the potential to address PPD
Creating an Agenda for Black Birth Equity
Background: The grim inequity that Black women and infants are more than twice as likely to die during birth than their white counterparts is a public health crisis. Methods: Guided by principles of critical race theory, we used content analysis to analyze the themes of the presentation made by five Black community members on a 2020 Juneteenth panel, a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. Resul…

Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Knowledge and Intention Among Adult Inmates in Kansas, 2016–2017
Objectives. To assess human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge and vaccine awareness, intention, and uptake among adult inmates in Kansas jails. Methods. We administered a survey with questions adapted from the US National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey to 571 adult inmates in 3 Kansas jails from October 10 to 12, 2016, and January 25 to 27, 2017, to assess HPV knowledge and vaccine awareness, intention, and uptake. Resu…
Sexual Health Risk and the Movement of Women Between Disadvantaged Communities and Local Jails
Drawing on cross-sectional data collected in three Kansas City jails, our objective was to describe the social, neighborhood-based context of sexual health risk prior to incarceration for 290 women. Half of the participants were clustered in Kansas City's urban core before their incarceration. Women who lived in these neighborhoods, which had the highest density of our incarcerated participants, were 3 times as likely to report a history of tradi…

Effectiveness of an Alternative Dental Workforce Model on the Oral Health of Low-Income Children in a School-Based Setting
Objectives. We evaluated the effect of an alternative dental workforce program—Kansas’s Extended Care Permit (ECP) program—as a function of changes in oral health. Methods. We examined data from the 2008 to 2012 electronic medical records of children (n = 295) in a Midwestern US suburb who participated in a school-based oral health program in which preventive oral health care was delivered by ECP dental hygienists. We examined changes in oral hea…
Factors associated with sterilization use among women leaving a U.S. jail
The decision to use the permanent method of sterilization as a contraceptive method is a complex one. Results from this study suggest that while explicit coercion may not be a factor in women's choice for sterilization, interpersonal relationship histories, negative experiences with contraceptives, and structural constraints, such as financial concerns and ongoing criminal justice involvement, seem to influence sterilization use among the vulnera…
Availability of Emergency Contraception in Rural and Urban Pharmacies in Kansas
Purpose: Determine availability of emergency contraception (EC) at rural and urban pharmacies in Kansas. Methods: A sample of 201 Kansas pharmacies was selected using a random integer generator. We measured ability to dispense EC within 24 hours and whether it was in stock at the time of the survey call. We examined EC availability based on geographic differences and pharmacy type. Findings: Of the sample, 186 pharmacists agreed to be interviewed…
