Literacy
The purpose of this entry is to briefly describe a study for which mixed methods were best suited. This study examined the growth of two groups of preservice literacy teachers in their abilities to recognize salient features of children's reading development. Quantitative data were used to ascertain growth, while qualitative data were used to situate the learning experiences in which this growth occurred. A purely quantitative study could have re…
The incapacity and perversity of Miss Richmond
This article puts colonial social reform and the ‘civilizing mission’ under new light by examining the Bombay Female Normal School (BFNS) and its short existence under J. Stuart Richmond, a certified British schoolmistress, from 1868 to 1872. By doing so, this article reveals Richmond’s unfitness for her role as a bearer of ‘the white woman’s burden’ but also the ways Raj bureaucrats and imperial reformers carefully curated information about the …
Through the eyes of community health workers
Public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, elucidate the strengths, weaknesses, and significant gaps in infrastructure, compatibility and consistency in communication systems, as well as the quality of collaborative relationships, and provider and workforce capacity. They also expose longstanding patterns of mistrust in the government and healthcare systems, and inadequacy in socio-economic infrastructures. These issues resulted in…

Crafting Qualitative Research Questions
Structural and health system determinants of health outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus
Chronic diseases are increasingly responsible for the burden of health outcomes across the world. However, there is also increasing recognition that patterns of chronic disease outcomes (e.g., mortality, quality of life, etc.) have inequities across race, gender, and socioeconomic groups that cannot be solely attributed to these determinants. In this paper, we synthesize several concepts from health disparities literature into a conceptual framew…

Queer in the Heartland
Little is known about the cancer experiences of sexual and gender minority (SGM) persons in Midwestern areas. In response, a statewide survey of 567 SGM adults in Iowa, a largely rural Midwestern state, assessed cancer prevalence, screening tests, and related risk factors. Skin cancer accounted for nearly half of reported cancers. Individuals assigned female sex at birth reported high levels of lifetime mammograms and Papanicolaou (Pap) tests. In…
Power Dynamics in Community-Based Participatory Research
Community-based participatory research has a long-term commitment to principles of equity and justice with decades of research showcasing the added value of power-sharing and participatory involvement of community members for achieving health, community capacity, policy, and social justice outcomes. Missing, however, has been a clear articulation of how power operates within partnership practices and the impact of these practices on outcomes. The…

Observations of eight first graders were conducted as they participated in a structured SR ‐supported writing center four days a week for five months. Participant observation, field notes, transcripts of au…
Visible and Invisible Trends in Black Men's Health
Over the past two decades, there has been growing interest in improving black men's health and the health disparities affecting them. Yet, the health of black men consistently ranks lowest across nearly all groups in the United States. Evidence on the health and social causes of morbidity and mortality among black men has been narrowly concentrated on public health problems (e.g., violence, prostate cancer, and HIV/AIDS) and determinants of healt…
Community-Based Participatory Research Conceptual Model
A national community-based participatory research (CBPR) team developed a conceptual model of CBPR partnerships to understand the contribution of partnership processes to improved community capacity and health outcomes. With the model primarily developed through academic literature and expert consensus building, we sought community input to assess face validity and acceptability. Our research team conducted semi-structured focus groups with six p…
Negative emotions and stigma associated with a human papillomavirus test result
Human papillomavirus has largely been framed as a women's health issue, and the psychosocial impact of human papillomavirus among men remains unclear. In this study, we found that women infected with human papillomavirus ( n = 154) experienced a greater degree of negative emotions and stigma than human papillomavirus-infected men ( n = 190). Among women, younger age and less education were associated with greater expression of negative emotions a…

Effect of area poverty rate on cancer screening across US communities
Study objective: To analyse the contextual effect of area poverty rate on never having been screened for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer by (1) describing the extent of the variation in screening behaviours among 98 US metropolitan areas; (2) determining if the variation in lack of screening can be explained by differences in the characteristics of the persons who resided in these areas; and (3) determining if living in a metropolitan are…
Addressing Social Determinants of Health Inequities
In its 1988 landmark report and again in 2003 in an updated report,1,2 the Institute of Medicine defined public health as what we as a society do to collectively assure the conditions in which people can be healthy. The literature describing the relationship between conditions needed for health and health outcomes is as old as the public health endeavor itself and continues to grow, now almost exponentially. That certain conditions commonly refer…

A Participatory Method to Identify Root Determinants of Health
Photo-elicitation is one way to engage community members in a participatory dialogue that stimulates action around root factors of health. To use this method successfully within a CBPR approach, it is important to build on existing relationships of trust among community and academic partners and create opportunities for community partners to determine the issues for discussion
The Garden of Eden
Geographic assessments indicate that the selection of produce in local supermarkets varies by both area-level income and racial composition. These differences make it particularly difficult for low-income African American families to make healthy dietary choices. The Garden of Eden produce market was created to improve access to high-quality, affordable produce for these communities. The Garden of Eden is housed in a church in an economically dep…
Industrial relations, worksite stress reduction, and employee well‐being
The workplace has become the locus of many stress management and stress reduction interventions. However, little attention has focused on how worksite factors affect the implementation and impact of such interventions. In this paper, we investigate the effect of new versus traditional industrial relations practices on the impact of a worksite stress reduction program in a manufacturing setting. More specifically, a participatory action research (…
