The association between work-related activities and leisure-time physical activity among Latinos
Our findings suggest that engaging in higher frequency of exertion and standing/walking at work are associated with being less likely to meet the aerobic physical activity guideline during leisure time among Latinos, with variation observed in meeting guidelines by nativity. Insight into physical activities performed at work could inform efforts aimed at promoting recommended levels of physical activity among Latinos
Improving Latino Health Through Equity-Centered Physical Activity Research
Latina Women in Academia
Latina women and other ethnic and racial groups continue to be underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, including public health. This underrepresentation of people from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences in academic public health and other scientific disciplines is a form of epistemic oppression, exclusion that hinders contribution to knowledge production and advancement. Our analysis of 2021 dat…

Educational Attainment and Prevalence of Cardiovascular Health (Life’s Simple 7) in Asian Americans
Asian Americans have a high burden of cardiovascular disease, yet little is known about the social patterning of cardiovascular health (CVH) in this population. We examined if education ( 10+ years, and 15.9% for the U.S.-born. All models showed that low education compared to high education was associated with lower odds of having ideal CVH. This pattern remained in adjusted models but became non-significant when controlling for nativity (odds ra…

Legacies of Environmental Injustice on Neighborhood Violence, Poverty and Active Living in an African American Community
Features of the built environment such as parks and open spaces contribute to increased physical activity in populations, while living in neighborhoods with high poverty, racial/ethnic segregation, presence of neighborhood problems, and violence has been associated with less active living. Our present study examined the factors that may facilitate or hinder the long-term success of built environment interventions aimed at promoting physical activ…

Incorporating Health Equity and Community Perspectives During Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is revealing the deeply entrenched structural inequities in health that exist in the United States. We draw parallels between the COVID-19 pandemic and our cardiovascular health equity research focused on physical activity and diabetes to highlight three common needs: 1) access to timely and disaggregated data; 2) how to integrate community-engaged approaches in telehealth; and 3) policy initiatives that explicitly integrate…
Report of Health Behavior Modification Among Latinos Diagnosed With Multiple Cardiovascular Risk Factors
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type II diabetes are leading cardiovascular risk factors in the United States, and Latinos are disproportionately burdened by these chronic health conditions. The extent to which Latinos overall and by language spoken at home report health behavior modification following diagnosis is poorly understood. METHODS: Our inclusion criteria included participants sampled in the 2011-2016 waves of the …
Neighborhood Social Cohesion and Walking Limitations in Ethnically Diverse Older Latinos in the United States
Walking is the most common form of physical activity and socially cohesive neighborhoods may provide the context for racially/ethnically diverse groups to maintain an active lifestyle, particularly at older ages. Among Latinos, the association between neighborhood cohesion and walking behaviors may additionally differ by Latino group. We examined the association between neighborhood social cohesion and walking limitations among Latinos overall an…
Comparison of Ideal Cardiovascular Health Attainment and Acculturation among Asian Americans and Latinos
We found significant variation in ideal cardiovascular health attainment by language spoken at home in two of the largest immigrant groups in the United States. Findings suggest the need for language and culturally tailored public health and clinical initiatives to reduce cardiovascular risk in diverse populations

Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of neighbourhood social environment and smoking behaviour
BACKGROUND: Social features of neighbourhood environments may influence smoking by creating a stressful environment or by buffering stress through social cohesion. However, the association of the overall neighbourhood social environment (NSE) with smoking, and the association of specific neighbourhood social factors with change in smoking behaviour over time, has rarely been examined. METHODS: This study included 5856 adults aged 45-84 years from…
Latino Immigrants, Acculturation, and Health
This article provides an analysis of novel topics emerging in recent years in research on Latino immigrants, acculturation, and health. In the past ten years, the number of studies assessing new ways to conceptualize and understand how acculturation-related processes may influence health has grown. These new frameworks draw from integrative approaches testing new ground to acknowledge the fundamental role of context and policy. We classify the em…
Differences in neighborhood social cohesion and aerobic physical activity by Latino subgroup
Previous research has examined the role of neighborhood social cohesion in physical activity outcomes; however, less is known about this relationship across Latino subgroups. The purpose of our study was to examine the association between neighborhood social cohesion and aerobic leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among Latino adults and to determine whether these associations differ by Latino subgroup. We used cross-sectional 2013-2014 Nationa…
How Neighborhood Poverty Structures Types and Levels of Social Integration
Social integration is fundamental to health and well‐being. However, few studies have explored how neighborhood contexts pattern types and levels of social integration that individuals experience. We examined how neighborhood poverty structures two dimensions of social integration: integration with neighbors and social integration more generally. Using data from the United States Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we linked s…

The Roles of Citizenship Status, Acculturation, and Health Insurance in Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Among Immigrant Women
BACKGROUND: Immigrant women are less likely to undergo cancer screening. However, few national studies have examined the role of citizenship status or acculturation. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine differences in Papanicolaou (Pap) smear and mammography screening among U.S.-born women and immigrants who are naturalized citizens or remained noncitizens. Among Latinas, we also determined if acculturation is related to screenin…
