Comparison of Black and/or Hispanic Cancer Patients’ Experiences in Virtual Tobacco Treatment
Development of a Health Insurance Navigation Program for Long-Term Childhood Cancer Survivors
Adapting interventions to new contexts requires consideration of the needs, norms, and delivery structures of the new setting. We describe how we followed the ORBIT model of intervention development to create Health Insurance Navigation Tools (HINT), a health insurance patient navigation intervention for childhood cancer survivors. By engaging stakeholders and leveraging institutional resources, we identified and preemptively addressed real-world…
A resiliency intervention adapted for older women with HIV
Aging with HIV often results in psychosocial and health-related challenges for women; however, no resiliency interventions exist for older women with HIV (WWH). WWH aged ≥50 were randomized to 10 group sessions of an adapted resiliency intervention or time-matched supportive psychotherapy. Assessments were conducted at three timepoints. Feasibility and acceptability metrics were defined a priori; differences in resilience, stress coping, anxiety,…

Adapting, testing, and refining a resilience intervention for older women with HIV
Half of persons with HIV in the United States (US), many of whom are women, are over age 50. Aging women with HIV (WWH) face unique biopsychosocial challenges, including stigma, the physiological effects of aging, and illness-associated stressors. Resilience interventions can build awareness of such stressors and aid in facilitating the relaxation response; however, no existing interventions specifically cater to the needs of older WWH. The conte…
Quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis is associated with reductions in stigma and anxiety
Internalized cancer stigma is high among cancer patients who smoke, but it is unknown whether the experience of stigma changes after quitting smoking post-diagnosis. Using data from an RCT of tobacco treatment, we conducted a secondary data analysis and hypothesized that 1) cancer patients who quit smoking would report greater reductions in internalized cancer stigma, compared to patients who did not quit and that 2) greater reductions in stigma …
Characteristics and Experiences of Parents of Children with Learning and Attention Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Parents of children with learning and attention disorders (LAD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience chronic parenting stress due to the challenges in raising a child with special needs. We used a mixed methods design to examine characteristics and experiences of stress and coping among parents of children with LAD and ASD. We conducted 20 semi-structured focus group interviews with parents of children with LAD ( n = 11) and ASD ( n = 9)…

This is an exploratory mixed methods study. Phase 1: We conducted qualitative interviews to inform program adaptation. Phase 2: Using a single-arm pilot design, we assessed program feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy (exploratory outcomes: stress copi…
Quit Experiences among Primary Care Patients Enrolled in a Smoking Cessation Pilot RCT Early in the Covid-19 Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on US adults' smoking and quitting behaviors is unclear. We explored the impact of COVID-19 on smoking behaviors, risk perceptions, and reactions to text messages during a statewide stay-at-home advisory among primary care patients who were trying to quit. From May-June 2020, we interviewed smokers enrolled in a 12-week, pilot cessation trial providing text messaging and mailed nicotine replacement medication (…
Perceived cancer-related benefits of quitting smoking and associations with quit intentions among recently diagnosed cancer patients
One third of smokers diagnosed with cancer continue smoking, perhaps due to low perceived cancer-related benefits of cessation. To examine perceived cancer-related benefits of quitting among newly diagnosed cancer patients who smoke and associations with quit intentions, baseline measures from patients (N = 303) enrolled in a randomized controlled trial were analyzed using hierarchical regression models and bootstrapping. Higher perceived cancer-…
A Positive Psychology–Motivational Interviewing Intervention to Promote Positive Affect and Physical Activity in Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity is associated with superior health outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but most T2D patients do not follow physical activity recommendations. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and impact of a novel combined positive psychology-motivational interviewing (PP-MI) intervention to promote physical activity in T2D. METHODS: This controlled clinical trial compared an 8-week, phone-deliver…
Project reach
The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a telephone-based smoking cessation intervention for lung screening patients. Participants ( N = 39) were enrolled in a single-arm pilot study of a four-session telephone-based intervention. Self-report measures were completed at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Participants were long-term smokers; 62 percent were not motivated to quit. Twe…

A Virtual Resiliency Intervention Promoting Resiliency for Parents of Children with Learning and Attentional Disabilities
What do surviving children wish for from a dying parent? A qualitative exploration
Legacy may play an important role in how children integrate the loss of a parent. Sixteen adults (19-40 years old, 69% women) who experienced the death of a parent from an illness before age 12 were interviewed, exploring legacies from their deceased parent. Transcribed interviews were iteratively analyzed by three independent coders. Extracted themes described their experiences and wish for remembrances and specific communication left for them, …
Racial Differences in Smoking-related Disease Risk Perceptions Among Adults Completing Lung Cancer Screening
A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Effects of Meditation on Empathy, Compassion, and Prosocial Behaviors
Optimizing a Positive Psychology Intervention to Promote Health Behaviors After an Acute Coronary Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Despite the clear benefits of physical activity and related behaviors on prognosis, most patients experiencing an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain nonadherent to these behaviors. Deficits in positive psychological constructs (e.g., optimism) are linked to reduced participation in health behaviors, supporting the potential utility of a positive psychology (PP)-based intervention in post-ACS patients. Accordingly, we aimed to identif…
Lung Cancer Screening Uncertainty among Patients Undergoing LDCT
Several sociodemographic, numeracy, and emotional factors were associated with greater LCSU. With multiple policy and clinical guidelines purporting the uptake of annual lung screening, it is important to identify patients with LCSU and tailor shared decision-making to clarify their uncertainties
Characteristics of adult smokers presenting to a mind-body medicine clinic
Mind-body interventions can improve vulnerabilities that underlie smoking behavior. The characteristics of smokers who use mind-body medicine have not been explored, preventing the development of targeted interventions. Patients ( N = 593) presenting to a mind-body medicine clinic completed self-report measures. Patients were 67 percent never smokers, 27 percent former smokers, and 6 percent current smokers. Current smokers were younger; more lik…
Positive psychological states and health behaviors in acute coronary syndrome patients
Positive psychological states are linked to superior cardiac outcomes, possibly mediated through increased participation in health behaviors. Trained study staff conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews in the hospital and 3 months later for 34 patients diagnosed with an acute coronary syndrome. These interviews focused on positive psychological states, cardiac health behaviors, and their connection; the interviews were transcribed and indep…

Cultural Competence And Health Care Disparities
Cultural competence has gained attention as a potential strategy to improve quality and eliminate racial/ethnic disparities in health care. In 2002 we conducted interviews with experts in cultural competence from managed care, government, and academe to identify their perspectives on the field. We present our findings here and then identify recent trends in cultural competence focusing on health care policy, practice, and education. Our analysis …
Unemployment Among Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer
BACKGROUND: Adult childhood cancer survivors report high levels of unemployment, although it is unknown whether this is because of health or employability limitations. OBJECTIVES: We examined 2 employment outcomes from 2003 in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS): (1) health-related unemployment and (2) unemployed but seeking work. We compared survivors with a nearest-age CCSS sibling cohort and examined demographic and treatment-related ri…

Integrating tobacco treatment into thoracic oncology settings
Clinical practice guidelines recommend tobacco treatment for all cancer patients. However, little is known about how to integrate tobacco treatment into cancer care. The results of our pilot study of an evidence-based tobacco treatment integrated into a thoracic oncology clinic demonstrated good feasibility and efficacy, providing an opportunity to inform future tobacco treatment integration efforts. Here, we describe the process of intervention …
