  • Variation in multimorbidity between and within age groups

    Open AccessJ E Cohen, T J Lin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Population Ageing2026

    The chronic conditions associated with age are an increasing challenge to individual and public health in many countries. In general, older age groups have a greater average multiplicity of chronic conditions (greater “multimorbidity”). But the variation (not only the average) of multimorbidity within groups of increasing age seems not to have been studied empirically. The variation in multimorbidity in groups of increasing age could, in principl…

  • Discrimination moderates associations between momentary anger coping and subsequent interpersonal interaction quality

    Open AccessBrandon Dial, Matthew Zawadzki et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2025Cited by: 1References: 46

    The interpersonal consequences of anger coping (i.e., anger-in, anger-out, anger-control) in everyday life are unclear. This ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study tested whether momentary variations in anger coping style were associated with the perceived quality of subsequent interpersonal interactions throughout the day. Lifetime discrimination and race were tested as moderators of these associations. A sample of 518 Black and Latinx part…

  • Mis-implementation of evidence-based behavioural health practices in primary care

    Open AccessAlex R Dopp, Grace Hindmarch et al.ARTICLEEvidence & Policy2024References: 2

    Multi-level determinants contributed to EBP mis-implementation in FQHCs, limiting the ability of these health systems to benefit from knowledge exchange. To minimize mis-implementation, knowledge exchange strategies should be designed around common, core barriers but also flexible enough to address a variety of site-specific contextual factors and should be tailored to relevant audiences such as providers, patients, and/or leadership

  • Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of Group Prenatal Care

    Jeannette R Ickovics, Valerie A Earnshaw et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2016Cited by: 2References: 32

    Objectives. We compared an evidence-based model of group prenatal care to traditional individual prenatal care on birth, neonatal, and reproductive health outcomes. Methods. We performed a multisite cluster randomized controlled trial in 14 health centers in New York City (2008–2012). We analyzed 1148 pregnant women aged 14 to 21 years, at less than 24 weeks of gestation, and not at high obstetrical risk. We assessed outcomes via medical records …

  • Lifetime racial/ethnic discrimination and ambulatory blood pressure

    Open AccessDanielle L Beatty Moody, Shari R Waldstein et al.ARTICLEHealth Psychology2016Cited by: 19References: 13

    Objective To determine if the relationships of lifetime discrimination to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) varied as a function of age in a sample of Black and Latino(a) adults ages 19 – 65. Methods Participants were 607 Black (n = 318) and Latino(a) (n = 289) adults (49% female) who completed the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CV), which assesses lifetime exposure to racism/ethnic discrimination. They were o…

  • System Factors Affect the Recognition and Management of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by Primary Care Clinicians

    Lisa S Meredith, David P Eisenman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009References: 42

    BACKGROUND: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common with an estimated prevalence of 8% in the general population and up to 17% in primary care patients. Yet, little is known about what determines primary care clinician's (PCC's) provision of PTSD care. OBJECTIVE: To describe PCC's reported recognition and management of PTSD and identify how system factors affect the likelihood of performing clinical actions with regard to patients with PTS…

  • Sociodemographic Variations in Self‐Reported Racism in a Community Sample of Blacks and Latino(a)s

    Open AccessElizabeth Brondolo, Danielle L Beatty et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Social…2009Cited by: 23References: 16

    This study investigated dimensions of socioeconomic status (SES) and self‐reported racism among a convenience sample of 418 U.S.‐born, Black and Latino(a) urban‐dwelling adults. Predictors included indexes of individual and neighborhood SES. Self‐reported racism was assessed with the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire–Community Version. Individuals at all levels of SES report racism, but the type of exposure varies by SES. Lower levels…

  • Racism and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in a Community Sample

    Elizabeth Brondolo, Daniel J Libby et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2008

    Objective: Racism has been identified as a psychosocial stressor that may contribute to disparities in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. The goal of the present article was to investigate the relationship of perceived racism to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in a sample of American-born Blacks and Latinos. Methods: Participants included English-speaking Black or Latino(a) adults between the ages of 24 and 65. They completed daily mood di…

  • Obesity, Physical Activity, and the Environment

    Open AccessWendell C Taylor, Joseph T Hepworth et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Justice2008

    Although environmental (EJ) justice principles were originally developed for health impacts related to pollution and exposure to toxins, recently these principles have been extended to include neighborhood walkability and urban design. The disproportionate negative health impacts include greater rates of obesity, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. The authors of comprehensive reviews of EJ principles recommended that physical activity, ob…

  • Perceived Racism and Negative Affect

    Elizabeth Brondolo, Nisha Brady et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2008Cited by: 62References: 18

    Racism is a significant psychosocial stressor that is hypothesized to have negative psychological and physical health consequences. The Reserve Capacity Model (Gallo & Matthews, 2003) suggests that low socioeconomic status may influence health through its effects on negative affect. We extend this model to study the effects of racism, examining the association of lifetime perceived racism to trait and daily negative affect. A multiethnic sample o…

  • The Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire

    Open AccessElizabeth Brondolo, Kim P Kelly et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Social…2005Cited by: 113References: 16

    This paper describes 2 studies that evaluated a new instrument, the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CV). The PEDQ-CV can be used across ethnic groups to assess perceived racism or ethnic discrimination. The scales measure several subdimensions of racism, permitting the examination of different forms of this race-related stressor. The first study evaluated the psychometric properties of the PEDQ-CV in a large …

    Open AccessArthur Laperriere, Gail Ironson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2005Cited by: 4References: 47

    This prospective multisite Phase III clinical trial (Miami, New York, New Jersey) investigated the long-term (one year) effects of a 10-week group cognitive-behavioral stress management/expressive supportive therapy (CBSM+) intervention on disadvantaged minority women living with AIDS.

  • Influencing medication adherence among women with Aids

    Diana L Jones, M Ishii et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2003

    This study examined the effects of a ten-session cognitive-behavioural stress management/expressive supportive therapy (CBSM+) intervention on adherence to antiretroviral medication. Although the intervention was not designed to influence adherence, it was theorized that improved coping and social support could enhance adherence. Women with AIDS (N = 174) in Miami, New York and New Jersey, USA, were randomized to a group CBSM+ intervention or ind…
