A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study of a Youth-Led Digital Hypertension Education Intervention Among Parent–Youth Dyads
Involving youth in chronic disease health promotion with adults can benefit both adults and youth. In this mixed-methods pilot study, we explored the effects of a youth-led digital hypertension education intervention on knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior outcomes, as well as participant feedback, in parent-youth dyads. High school students (14+ years) paired themselves with an interested adult (18+ years) to create 19 adult-youth dyads. We im…
Patient Advocacy Group Leaders' Perceptions on Primary Care's Role in Caring for Patients With a History of Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: Cancer advocacy groups engage patients, families and caregivers in navigating the cancer landscape, with a focus on early detection/screening and providing psychosocial and financial support during and after treatment. These groups are influential among their communities, funders and policymakers. OBJECTIVE: We wished to understand perceptions of breast cancer advocacy group leaders on primary care's role in breast cancer survivorship…
Barriers and facilitators to skin cancer prevention among Hispanics
Future interventions should focus on individual, community, and system-level strategies to address misperceptions in the Hispanic community, increase knowledge and awareness, address perceptions of cultures regarding skin cancer preventive activities, and emphasize the importance or priority of health issues related to skin cancer
Exploring HPV vaccination policy and payer strategies for opportunities to improve uptake in safety-net settings
Introduction: We explored priorities and perspectives on health policy and payer strategies for improving HPV vaccination rates in safety-net settings in the United States. Methods: We conducted qualitative interviews with policy and payer representatives in the greater Los Angeles region and state of New Jersey between December 2020 and January 2022. Practice Change Model domains guided data collection, thematic analysis, and interpretation. Res…

Sunburns and Sun Protection Behaviors among Male Hispanic Outdoor Day Laborers
Individuals who work outside are at increased risk for skin cancer due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Little is known about UV exposures and sun safety practices of outdoor day laborers, who are disproportionately Hispanic. This study identified the correlates of sunburn and sun protection behaviors in a sample of male, Hispanic day laborers ( n = 175). More than half of the participants (54.9%) experienced one or more sunbu…
Community- Versus Health Care Organization–Based Approaches to Expanding At-Home Covid-19 Testing in Black and Latino Communities, New Jersey, 2021
At-home COVID-19 testing offers convenience and safety advantages. We evaluated at-home testing in Black and Latino communities through an intervention comparing community-based organization (CBO) and health care organization (HCO) outreach. From May through December 2021, 1100 participants were recruited, 94% through CBOs. The odds of COVID-19 test requests and completions were significantly higher in the HCO arm. The results showed disparities …
Adoption of Tobacco 21
Despite the recent push for Tobacco 21 legislation in the US and the national adoption of Tobacco 21, there is a paucity of data on the process of policy adoption. To explore the key factors that served as facilitators or challenges to the passage of state T21 laws that apply to the sale of all tobacco products to anyone under 21 years of age, we conducted a comparative, cross-case study in ten states that adopted Tobacco 21 between 2016 and 2019…
Engaging a Community Leader to Enhance Preparation for In-Depth Interviews With Community Members
In-depth interviews allow for rich exploration of stakeholders' experiences. Preparation for in-depth interviews generally consists of literature reviews and researchers' review of their own culture and understanding of a topic. We supplemented these strategies with serial "ethnographic interviews" with a single community leader to enhance our preparation for community-based in-depth interviews with Latina, immigrant, Spanish-speaking mothers and…
Sociocultural experiences, body image, and indoor tanning among young adult women
The purpose of this survey study was to evaluate a model of body image influences on indoor tanning behavior. Participants were 823 young adult women recruited from a probability-based web panel in the United States. Consistent with our hypothesized model, tanning-related sociocultural experiences were indirectly associated with lifetime indoor tanning use and intentions to tan as mediated through tan surveillance and tan dissatisfaction. Finding…
Sun protection and exposure behaviors among Hispanic adults in the United States
Several Hispanic subpopulations (e.g., those who are more acculturated or from certain origins) represent important groups to target in skin cancer prevention interventions. Future research is needed to test culturally relevant, tailored interventions to promote sun protection behaviors among U.S. Hispanics. Such initiatives should focus on public health education and increasing healthcare provider awareness of the importance of skin cancer preve…
Strategies for Conducting Complex Clinical Trials in Diverse Community Practices
BACKGROUND: Closing the gap between evidence and practice demands interventions targeting the whole practice. These system level interventions require more complex designs and require greater practice involvement. Current descriptions of trials use research designs that either limit practice involvement or make use of large health system resources. OBJECTIVE: To share insights on retention of practices in a complex clinical trial aimed at improvi…
Recruiting Minority Primary Care Practices Into Practice-Based Research
BACKGROUND: A potentially fruitful strategy for increasing enrollment of minority patients in research is to engage minority clinicians. However, little attention has been paid to unique challenges and effective strategies for engaging practices with minority physicians. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to provide a model for recruiting community-based primary care practices with minority physicians into research studies. RESEARCH DESIG…
The Meanings of Self-Ratings of Health
Self-ratings of health are central measures of health status that predict outcomes such as mortality and declines in functional ability. Qualitative and quantitative data are used to test the hypothesis that definitions of health that are narrowly biomedical are associated with underestimates of self-ratings relative to respondents’medical histories, while definitions that are broad and inclusive are related to relatively better self-ratings. A s…
Re-Creational Television
Speculation abounds regarding the cumulative effect of stereotypical images in the media, especially those effects directed toward ethnic/gender identity. Using images of Black women in the United States as a case study, this paper explores the ways in which three historical stereotypes-Mammy, Jezebel, and Sapphire-are re-created in current-day television broadcasts. I argue that these recreations influence modern depictions of Black women in imp…
