A Culturally Tailored Psychoeducation Group for Reducing Mental Health Stigma of African American Women and their Social Support
This engagement award project evaluated the preliminary effectiveness of a culturally tailored psychoeducation session aimed at reducing mental health stigma among African American women and their social support networks. Participants included 25 community members, including African American women of reproductive age and members of their social support networks, engaged in a two-hour psychoeducation group session. This session addressed perinatal…
Understanding Multi-Level Factors Impacting Digital Health Literacy in the Deep South of the United States
As healthcare and health services become increasingly digitized, individuals with low digital health literacy (DHL) may experience inequitable care and outcomes. We explored factors impacting DHL and recommendations for improvement from community health coordinators and advisors (CHAs) in Alabama and Mississippi in United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CHAs to gather insights on their perspectives on and experiences with D…
Accuracy of Cancer Registry Primary Payer Information and Implications for Policy Research
BACKGROUND: Cancer registry-based "primary payer at diagnosis" (PPDx) data are commonly used to evaluate the effect of insurance on cancer care outcomes, yet little is known about how well they capture Medicaid or Medicare enrollment. METHODS: We linked the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry data to monthly Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicaid and Medicare enrollment records, stat…
Impact of Affordable Care Act Provisions on the Racial Makeup of Patients Enrolled at a Deep South, High-Risk Breast Cancer Clinic
Purpose Black women are less likely to receive screening mammograms, are more likely to develop breast cancer at an earlier age, and more likely to die from breast cancer when compared to White women. Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions decreased cost sharing for women's preventive screening, potentially mitigating screening disparities. We examined enrollment of a high-risk screening program before and after ACA implementation stratified by rac…
Cancer-Related Financial Hardship Screening as Part of Practice Transformation
BACKGROUND: Data on financial hardship, an "adverse event" in individuals with cancer, are needed to inform policy and supportive care interventions and reduce adverse economic outcomes. METHODS: Lay navigator-led financial hardship screening was piloted among University of Alabama at Birmingham oncology patients initiating treatment in October 2020. Financial hardship screening, including reported financial distress and difficulty, was added to …
Shadow Puppets and Neglected Diseases (2)
Performing arts used as a method of spreading health information dates back to the origins of storytelling. However, interventions in developing, non-Western countries typically utilize Western entertainment forms. This qualitative investigation assesses responses to an intervention designed around traditional Javanese shadow puppetry ( wayang kulit ). Semi-structured interviews provided in-depth responses from a sample (N = 12) of villagers. Res…
Social and Demographic Predictors of Nutritional Risk
Social factors may disparately affect access to food and nutritional risk among older adults by race and gender. This study assesses these associations using the Mini Nutritional Assessment among 414 community-dwelling persons 75+ years of age in Alabama. Descriptive analyses on the full sample and by African American men, African American women, white men, and white women showed that mean scores for the full Mini Nutritional Assessment differed …
Shadow Puppets and Neglected Diseases
Rama and the Worm' is a shadow puppet production targeting neglected diseases in Central Java. It is an entertainment-based intervention study to promote health by reducing the impact of parasitic diseases such as soil-transmitted helminths (STH). The study uses traditional Javanese shadow puppetry ( wayang kulit ) as a vehicle in village communities to disseminate health messages and promote behaviour change to prevent diseases caused, primarily…
Life-Space Predicts Health Care Utilization in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Life-space is a practical alternative in predicting future health care utilization to performance-based measures, which can be difficult to incorporate into clinical or public health practice
The Impact of Veteran Status on Life-Space Mobility among Older Black and White Men in the Deep South
Veterans had significantly higher baseline life-space mobility. There were significantly greater declines in life-space trajectories for White non-veterans in comparison to other race-veteran subgroups. Black veterans and non-veterans did not have significantly different trajectories
