However, psilocybin use in Puerto Rico remains understudied. This exploratory cross-sectional survey aimed to describe patterns of use, motivations for consumption, explanatory factors, personality traits, and sex-gender differences associated with psilocybin use in a convenien…

  • Risk factors for household food insecurity in the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network cohort study

    Open AccessJ L Martinez-Brockman, Amber Hromi-Fiedler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Globally, 1.3 billion people were considered food insecure as of 2022. In the Caribbean region, the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity was 71.3% as of 2020, the highest of all subregions in Latin America. Experienced based measurement scales, like the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale, are efficient measurement tools of food insecurity used globally. The Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (…

  • The Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (Echorn) Cohort Study

    Open AccessTerri‐Ann Thompson, Mahesh M Desai et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for a higher proportion of mortality and morbidity in the Caribbean and US territories-majority-minority communities-than in the United States or Canada. Strategies to address this disparity include enhancing data collection efforts among racial/ethnic communities. The ECHORN Cohort Study (ECS), a regional adult cohort study, estimates prevalence and assesses risk factors for NCDs in two United States terri…

  • Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and T2D diabetes in the Eastern Caribbean

    Open AccessCarol R Oladele, Neha Khandpur et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are implicated in the increasing risk of diabetes in the Caribbean. Few studies have examined associations between SSB consumption and diabetes in the Caribbean. Design: SSB was measured as teaspoon/d using questions from the National Cancer Institute Dietary Screener Questionnaire about intake of soda, juice and coffee/tea during the past month. Diabetes was measured using self-report, HbA1C and use of …

  • Development of the Anthropometric Grouping Index for the Eastern Caribbean Population Using the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (Echorn) Cohort Study Data

    Open AccessIsrael Almodóvar‐Rivera, Rosa V Rosario-Rosado et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Improving public health initiative requires an accurate anthropometric index that is better suited to a specific community. In this study, the anthropometric grouping index is proposed as a more efficient and discriminatory alternative to the popular BMI for the Eastern Caribbean population. A completely distribution-free cluster analysis was performed to obtain the 11 categories, leading to AGI-11. Further, we studied these groups using novel no…

  • Anthropometric measures of obesity and associated cardiovascular disease risk in the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (Echorn) Cohort Study

    Open AccessSaria Hassan, Carol R Oladele et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Findings suggest that WHR is a better indicator than BMI of obesity-related CVD risk and should be used to target adults in the Caribbean, and of Caribbean-descent, for interventions

  • Breast Cancer in a Caribbean Population in Transition

    Open AccessRosa V Rosario-Rosado, Cruz M Nazario et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Global breast cancer incidence varies considerably, particularly in comparisons of low- and high-income countries; rates may vary even within regions. Breast cancer rates for Caribbean countries are generally lower than for North America and Europe. Rates in Puerto Rico are in the middle of the range between the highest and the lowest Caribbean countries. Populations in transition, with greater variability in risk factor exposures, provide an imp…

  • Phenotypes of Hypertensive Ambulatory Blood Pressure Patterns

    Erica S Spatz, J L Martinez-Brockman et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2019

    Assessment of ABPM, and the contextual factors influencing ABPM, can identify unique phenotypes of HTN, which can then be used to develop more precision-based approaches to the prevention, detection and treatment of HTN in high-risk populations
