Author(s): Burke, Nancy J; Espinosa, Patricia Rodriguez; Corchado, Claudia C; Vázquez, Evelyn; Rosas, Lisa G; Wooe, Kent J; LeSarre, Monique; Gallegos-Castillo, Angela; Cheney, Ann; Lo, David D; Hintz, Rachel; Vassar, Stefanie D; Brown, Arleen F
Community-based organization perspectives on participating in state-wide community canvassing program aimed to reduce Covid-19 vaccine disparities in California
Between May and December 2021, the GOTVax program reached over 2 million California residents and registered over 60,000 residents for COVID-19 vaccination. Public health campaigns may improve benefits from leveraging the expertise of community-trusted CBOs and universities by providing flexible infrastructure and funding, allowing CBOs to seamlessly tailor outreach most applicable to local minoritized communities
The System Doesn’t Let Us in”—A Call for Inclusive Covid-19 Vaccine Outreach Rooted in Los Angeles Latinos’ Experience of Pandemic Hardships and Inequities
Our study on early Latino adult reactions to vaccine roll-out suggests the need for outreach strategies centering on validating community hardships, combating dis-/misinformation through trusted sources, and addressing socio-economic needs impacted by the pandemic
Covid-19 Vaccine Decision-making Factors in Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities in Los Angeles, California
Importance The COVID-19 pandemic has had disproportionate effects on racial and ethnic minority communities, where preexisting clinical and social conditions amplify health and social disparities. Many of these communities report lower vaccine confidence and lower receipt of the COVID-19 vaccine. Understanding factors that influence the multifaceted decision-making process for vaccine uptake is critical for narrowing COVID-19–related disparities.…
Community-based organizations’ perspectives on improving health and social service integration
CBOs value opportunities for integration with health systems, bring critical expertise to these partnerships, and seek to strengthen cross-sector collaborations. Early, equitable, and inclusive participation in the development and implementation of these partnerships may enhance their effectiveness, but requires policy that prioritizes and incentivizes sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships
Trends in Memory Problems and Race/Ethnicity in the National Health and Examination Survey, 1999-2014
The prevalence of subjective cognitive concerns across time periods points to a need to engage patients - particularly older and less-educated Latinos - about warning signs for cognitive impairment. The impact of education on subjective cognitive concerns in older Latinos may be related to acculturation and warrant further investigation
Neighborhood Characteristics Are Associated with Racial and Gender Variation Among Walking in Older Adults
Objective: To examine variation by race and gender in the association between neighborhood socioeconomic status and walking among community-dwelling older adults. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Cardiovascular Health Study, a longitudinal population-based cohort. Participants: 4,849 adults aged >65 years. Measurements: Participants reported number of city blocks walked in the prior week. Neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) measured at the …
The Healthy Community Neighborhood Initiative
The HCNI community-academic partnership has built a framework to assess and document the individual, social, and community factors that may influence clinical and social outcomes in a community at high-risk for preventable chronic disease. Our project suggests that a community collaborative can use culturally and scientifically sound strategies to identify community-centered health and social needs. Additional work is needed to understand strateg…
A Community Engagement Symposium to Prevent and Improve Stroke Outcomes in Diverse Communities
We found that the CES based on CPPR principles was effective method to increase short-term stroke awareness and stimulate discussion about stroke research among community members and community stakeholders who serve racial/ethnic minorities
Disease-targeted versus generic measurement of health-related quality of life in epilepsy
SF-36 includes less Parkinson Disease (PD)-targeted content but is more responsive to change than two PD-targeted health-related quality of life measures
SF-36 responsiveness was better than that of two PD-targeted measures, yet those measures had content that significantly explains PD patients' HRQOL
Responsiveness and Construct Validity of the Health Utilities Index in Patients With Dementia
BACKGROUND: Assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is important for cost-effectiveness analyses, but the validity of generic HRQOL instruments has not been adequately evaluated in persons with dementia. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity (including responsiveness to change) of the Health Utilities Index Mark 2 (HUI2) and Mark 3 (HUI3), 2 commonly used generic HRQOL measures, in patients with dementia. SUBJECTS: Four hundred eight p…
