Active surveillance and trajectories of decision-making among patients with low-risk prostate cancer
Objectives Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. This study examines factors associated with active surveillance (AS) uptake, timing of treatment decision making, and whether timing affects quality of life. Methods We used data from a population-based observational study of 512 patients aged 40–79 diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer from 2016 to 2022. Factors associated with AS receipt and treatment decisio…
Inequities in food access during the Covid-19 pandemic
Individuals who were food insecure reported a constellation of needs beyond food, including needs related to safety and greater social equity. Our data model illustrates the potential for rapid assessment of community residents' experiences to provide enhanced understanding of community-level needs and effective support in the face of changing circumstances
Acculturating to multiculturalism
The finding of a distinct "Multicultural" factor beyond the typical "Asian" and "Western" factors may reflect the multidirectional relationships between culture, diet, and dietary behavior, in which origin and destination cultures interact in complex ways and where foods from multiple ethnicities intermix
A validation study for measuring Asian- and Hispanic-serving sociocultural institutions in neighborhoods using business listing data and potential implications for health
Dignified Resources and Coping Strategies During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction Amid the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), racially and economically marginalized communities experienced a disproportionate burden of disease and social consequences (e.g., unemployment, increased exposure). This study seeks to understand strategies that these communities employed to cope with unequal burdens of the pandemic. Methods We utilized qualitative data collected between 2020 and 2021 from a mobile mapping platfor…
Asian American Women’s Experiences of Discrimination and Health Behaviors during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated racism experienced by Asian Americans, especially women and older individuals. Little is known about how discriminatory experiences during the pandemic have influenced health behaviors among Asian Americans. Between 10/2021 and 6/2022, we surveyed 193 Asian American women in the San Francisco area. Participants were asked to report types of discrimination they experienced since March 2020. We explored bivariable …
Understanding the Predictors of Low Take-Up of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Our study identifies groups that are less likely to take up WIC benefits for which they are eligible, thereby contributing important evidence to inform programs and policies to increase WIC participation among groups with lower take-up. As WIC evolves past the COVID-19 pandemic, special attention will be needed to ensure that resources to encourage and support the participation of racially and economically marginalized individuals are equitably d…
Combining Mixed Methods and Community-Based Participatory Research Approaches to Identify Neighborhood-Level Needs During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The intersection of mixed methods and community-based participatory research (MMCBPR) provides a promising approach to address health inequities. Drawing from strengths of mixed methods (which provides multiple channels for individuals to share experiences) and community-based participatory research methods (which center and empower marginalized communities in research), MMCBPR allows for the development of impactful and relevant research. This a…

Neighborhood Ethnic Composition and Self-rated Health Among Chinese and Vietnamese American Immigrants
Unpacking the ‘black box’ of lay health worker processes in a US-based intervention
Prior studies have supported the effectiveness of the use of Lay Health Workers (LHWs) as an intervention model for managing chronic health conditions, yet few have documented the mechanisms that underlie the effectiveness of the interventions. This study provides a first look into how LHWs delivered a family-based intervention and the challenges encountered. We utilize observation data from LHW-led educational sessions delivered as part of a ran…
