A Systematic Narrative Review of Recent Obesity Interventions with Black Women in the United States
A call to rethink music interventions implementation to address health disparities
Music medicine holds transformative potential for enhancing patient care, yet its widespread impact remains limited due to several barriers. While music has demonstrated benefits to human health, its integration into healthcare settings has been constrained by its predominance of Euro-centric classical genres and a narrow pool of providers. To unlock music medicine's full potential, a broader approach is necessary. This includes diversifying musi…
Old tech but not low tech
The future of telemedicine for substance use treatment hangs by a thread, as the United States awaits approval of proposed regulations and laws to increase care access in light of the 2022 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services revisions allowing for audio-only care. Telemedicine improves patient care access and outcomes. Audio-only telemedicine can be an effective and viable modality for individuals without technology resources (devices, int…
Contextualizing medications for opioid use disorder and peer support service provision in the probation system with implementation science
Findings indicate the implementation is complex and requires a coordinated effort between correctional systems, probation agencies, and community-based treatment providers
I'm Gay With an Asterisk
Research attributes health disparities between sexual minority (those whose sexual orientation and/or practices differ from society, [SM]) and heterosexual populations to social marginalization. LGBT strengths (e.g., resiliency derived from LGBT identity) may reduce the impact of social marginalization. However, it is unclear how LGBT strengths are impacted by SMs' other identities (e.g., racial/ethnic and/or gender). To address this knowledge ga…
Incongruence between Physician, Patient, and Medical Chart Report of Skin Cancer Prevention Counseling
Skin cancer incidence in the United States has risen rapidly in recent decades, underscoring the need for accessible and effective prevention practices. Skin cancer prevention counseling can lead to increased sun protective behavior and early detection; however, little is understood regarding the frequency and content of counseling among primary care providers (PCPs). We performed multi-center cross-sectional surveys among 53 providers and 3343 o…
Relationship between adherence to diet and physical activity guidelines and self-efficacy among black women with high blood pressure
Hypertension prevalence is highest among Black women in America. Understanding the relationship between adherence to diet and physical activity using socio-cognitive approaches (e.g. self-efficacy and social support) may be effective approaches in understanding hypertension management. This study found that dietary self-efficacy was associated with dietary adherence, and family social support was associated with both diet and physical activity se…
Physical Activity Levels among Preschool-Aged Children in Family Child Care Homes
Obesity prevalence among Hispanic children is twice that of non-Hispanic white children; Hispanic children may also engage in less physical activity (PA) compared to non-Hispanic white children. A large number of U.S. preschool-aged children are cared for in Family Child Care Homes (FCCH), yet few studies have examined PA levels and ethnicity differences in PA levels among these children. We examine baseline data from a cluster-randomized trial (…
Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Service Provision and Telephone Counseling
Using quantitative and qualitative evidence, this study triangulates counselors' perspectives on the use of telemedicine in the context of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment. A concurrent mixed-methods design examined counselors' experiences with telephone counseling during the COVID-19 pandemic. N = 42 counselors who provided OUD counseling services completed a close-ended, quantitative survey examining their experiences in addressing clients' …
Antenatal dietary concordance among mothers and fathers and gestational weight gain
Mothers had higher risk for excessive GWG when both partners had unhealthy FF consumption frequency, and when fathers had unhealthy FV consumption frequency. These findings imply that fathers should be involved in educational opportunities regarding dietary intake during pregnancy
Changes in quality of life and sleep across the perinatal period in women with mood disorders
Awareness and Acceptability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Kenya
Kenyan gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are significantly affected by HIV. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective biomedical approach to HIV prevention. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 459 HIV-negative Kenyan GBMSM to assess individual and interpersonal correlates of PrEP awareness/acceptability using univariate and hierarchical logistic regression modeling. We found that 64.3% of participants had heard…
Quality of life and emotional distress in patients and burden in caregivers
Quality of life and emotional distress between patients on peritoneal dialysis versus community-based hemodialysis
