Developing a culturally targeted video to enhance the use of genetic counseling in Latina women at increased risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer
Culturally Targeted Video Improves Psychosocial Outcomes in Latina Women at Risk of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer
Latina women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) have lower awareness, knowledge, and use of genetic counseling and testing services (GCT) than non-Latina Whites. Few interventions have been developed to reduce these disparities among at-risk Latinas. This pilot study assessed the impact of a culturally targeted narrative video developed by our team. The study included 40 Latina immigrants living in the United States who were a…

Capacity of US Drug Treatment Facilities to Provide Evidence-Based Tobacco Treatment
Although people with drug problems consume a large proportion of cigarettes smoked in the United States, few drug treatment facilities offer tobacco treatment. Our analysis of 405 facilities showed that most had the skills but few had policies, leadership, or financial resources to provide evidence-based tobacco treatment. For-profits reported significantly fewer tobacco treatment resources than nonprofits. The Affordable Care and Mental Health P…

Definição de envelhecimento saudável na perspectiva de indivíduos idosos
O envelhecimento é definido como um processo multidimensional (Baltes & Baltes, 1990). Rowe e Kahn (1998) apresentam três indicadores de envelhecimento saudável: baixo risco de doenças e de incapacidades funcionais; funcionamento mental e físico excelentes; e envolvimento ativo com a vida. Com base nesses pressupostos, o objetivo deste trabalho foi examinar a definição de envelhecimento saudável em uma amostra de idosos da comunidade buscando ide…
