Health and strength in the margins
Zines, in the form of independently published print media, are underutilised resources for learning about the health of marginalised communities. Aligning our paper with critical approaches, we examined zines entries (n = 33) authored by Queer and Transgender Black, Indigenous, and other People of Colour (QTBIPOC) for themes of health, strength, oppression and intersectionality. Zines were retrieved from two archives: the ZAPP Zine Collection and…
Enhancing PrEP persistence
Introduction Globally, women who engage in sex work (WESW) have a 21-fold greater risk of HIV acquisition than the general population, yet persistence on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remains low. The role of stigma and discrimination in early PrEP discontinuation is poorly understood. We examined the association between stigma, discrimination and early PrEP discontinuation among WESW in Lusaka, Zambia. Methods Using a prospective cohort de…
Beyond the pill
Women engaging in sex work (WESW) in low- and middle-income countries face a disproportionately high risk of HIV infection. This study explores enablers and barriers to the uptake and persistence of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) among WESW in Lusaka, Zambia. We evaluated Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation behavioral domains, using the COM-B model, which affectied behavioral engagement with Pr…
Education for public health 2030
Education for public health is at a critical inflection point, and either transforms for success or fails to remain relevant. In 2020, the Association for Schools and Programs of Public Health launched an initiative, Framing the Future 2030: Education for Public Health (FTF 2030) to develop a resilient educational system for public health that promotes scientific inquiry, connects research, education, and practice, eliminates inequities, incorpor…
The experience of hate incidents across racial and ethnic groups during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction Racism is a root cause of ill health for communities of color, and hate incidents are one manifestation of racism. Marginalized racial and ethnic groups, including but not limited to Asian Americans, have been the target of highly publicized violence, hate, and discrimination which has been amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives This paper investigates (1) the prevalence of hate incidents across racial and ethnic groups, …
Mediating role of walking between perceived and objective walkability and cognitive function in older adults
Perceived neighborhood disorder, racial-ethnic discrimination and leading risk factors for chronic disease among women
Social environmental factors are theoretically identified as influential drivers of health behaviors - tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity - related to chronic disease disparities. Empirical studies investigating relationships involving social environmental factors have found that either greater interpersonal racial-ethnic discrimination or perceived neighborhood disorder were associated with adverse health behaviors, with…
Environmental and Individual Predictors of Healthy Dietary Behaviors in a Sample of Middle Aged Hispanic and Caucasian Women
The objective of this effort is to gather data to tailor interventions appropriately. Greater understanding of the correlates of socioeconomic status and obesogenic dietary behaviors was the focus of this manuscript. Using multistage sampling, women with varied education levels completed a baseline assessment in a longitudinal study of women aged 30 to 50 years. This study was conducted in low-SES areas of South King County, Washington State. Thi…
Associations between social capital and depression
Associations between neighbourhood characteristics and depression
BACKGROUND: Depression is an important contributor to the global burden of disease. Besides several known individual-level factors that contribute to depression, there is a growing recognition that neighbourhood environment can also profoundly affect mental health. This study assessed associations between three neighbourhood constructs-socioeconomic deprivation, residential instability and income inequality-and depression among adult twin pairs. …
Mortality outcomes associated with intake of fast-food items and sugar-sweetened drinks among older adults in the Vitamins and Lifestyle (Vital) study
Objective To evaluate associations of fast-food items (FFI) and sugar-sweetened drinks (SSD) with mortality outcomes including deaths due to any cause, CVD and total cancers among a large sample of adults. Design Using a prospective design, risk of death was compared across baseline dietary exposures. Intakes of FFI and SSD were quantified using a semi-quantitative FFQ (baseline data collected 2000–2002). Deaths ( n 4187) were obtained via the Wa…
