Community-Based Prevalence of Externalizing and Internalizing Disorders among School-Aged Children and Adolescents in Four Geographically Dispersed School Districts in the United States
Psychometric Analysis of a Scale to Assess Particularized Trust in Families and Community- And Congregation-Based Groups
The Relationships in Community Groups Trust Scale (RCG-TS) is an 11-item questionnaire to assess particularized trust in 3 groups: community- and congregation-based groups and families. It was developed using a multimethod approach employing in-depth interviews and qualitative analysis, followed by quantitative psychometric evaluation for construct, convergent, and concurrent validity and internal reliability. Means were compared between groups. …
Church-Based Health Promotion Program Impact on Ethnically Diverse Older Adults' Social Support, Religiosity, and Spirituality
A church-based health promotion program of the United Methodist Church was implemented to address the holistic health of adults 50 years and older (n = 142). African American congregation members (n = 65) were paired with white congregation members (n = 77) for a total of 12 groups. Over a year, biracial groups participated in weekly two-hour meetings. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used to determine impacts on participants' religiosity,…
Social contacts and depression in middle and advanced adulthood
AIM: Empirical evidence has linked social contacts with mental stability. The aim is to assess how social contacts are associated with depression among the general population. METHODS: We analysed the data of 5,681 adults aged 40 or older, who completed a depression screening as a part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2005-2008. Depression was ascertained using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), a nine-item screening …
Psychometric Analysis of a Scale to Assess Norms of Reciprocity of Social Support in Community-Based and Congregation-Based Groups
Reciprocity, a core component of social capital, is rarely theorized or measured leaving the relationship between reciprocity and health ambiguous. Historically, reciprocity measures have not been used in the context they were designed causing measurement error. This multi-phased study was designed to develop and validate a reciprocity measure for formal and informal groups within communities and congregations as part of a more comprehensive soci…
The Relationship Between Work-Related Stress and Boundary-Related Stress Within the Clerical Profession
The Epidemiologic Transition
The epidemiologic transition describes changing patterns of population age distributions, mortality, fertility, life expectancy, and causes of death. A number of critiques of the theory have revealed limitations, including an insufficient account of the role of poverty in determining disease risk and mortality, a failure to distinguish adequately the risk of dying from a given cause or set of causes from the relative contributions of various caus…
US Suicide Rates by Age Group, 1970–2002
US suicide rates have declined in recent years, reversing earlier trends. We examined suicide rates among 4 age groups from 1970 to 2002 and the factors that may have contributed to the decline. We paid particular attention to newer anti-depressants because of recent concerns and controversy about a possible association with suicidal behaviors. These trends warrant more extensive analysis of suicide rates among specific subgroups, including consi…
Social Support Protects against the Negative Effects of Partner Violence on Mental Health
OBJECTIVES: Social support for abused women may reduce the impact of abuse on mental health, yet few studies have addressed this issue. We wish to determine associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health outcomes and to assess the protective role of abuse disclosure and support on mental health among abused women. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of 1152 women, ages 18-65, recruited from family practice clin…

Perceptions of Alternative Therapies Available for Women Facing Hysterectomy or Menopause
Women's perceptions of alternative therapies available for managing symptoms related to menopause and to the need for hysterectomy were explored. Data are reported from 17 focus groups of peri- and menopausal aged women (n = 82) living in two southern U.S. coastal counties. Analysis showed that emergent themes did not vary by race or surgery experience. Herbal preparations, vitamin supplements, "healthy living" (diet & exercise), and mind/body pr…
Severe dating violence and quality of life among South Carolina high school students
Aspects of Motivation of a Volunteer Aids Care Team Program
The South Carolina AIDS Care Team Program, directed by The Ecumenical AIDS Ministry, a component of the South Carolina Christian Action Council, provides emotional and supportive services to people living with HIV and AIDS. A sample of volunteer care team members participated in five focus groups as part of a process evaluation. Care teams were asked to participate based on years since training (new vs. experienced), race (white vs. African Ameri…
The Frequency and Correlates of Violent Behaviors in a Statewide Sample of High School Students
This is a study of the frequency and correlates of selected violent behaviors in public high school students using the 1993 South Carolina Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The percentage who reported carrying a weapon in the last 30 days varied from 9% among white females to 50% among white males. Over 37% of the students reported being in a fight in the last month. About 12% reported someone had forced them to have sexual intercourse, and 6% reported…
Risk factors for congenital syphilis in infants of women with syphilis in South Carolina
OBJECTIVES: This study examined risk factors for congenital syphilis in South Carolina. METHODS: Case infants with presumptive and confirmed congenital syphilis were compared with control infants born to women with reactive serologies during pregnancy, allowing investigation of risk factors for congenital rather than acquired transmission of syphilis. Data were collected from congenital syphilis report forms and birth certificates for 186 case in…
Family Structure and Cohesion, and Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents
This study assessed whether the presence of both natural parents in the home and the level of perceived emotional bonding in the family, as measured by the cohesion component of the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales, were independent predictors of depressive symptoms as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) in a diverse community sample of 3,191 young adolescents. In cross-sectional analysis, c…
Aggression, substance use, and suicidal behaviors in high school students
OBJECTIVES. We sought to analyze the frequency and correlates of suicidal behaviors in a community sample of adolescents. METHODS. Information concerning suicidal thoughts and acts, aggressive behaviors, substance use and physical recklessness were collected with the 70-item self-report Youth Risk Behavior Survey from a statewide sample of 3764 South Carolina public high school students. RESULTS. Seventy-five percent of students reported no suici…
