From Detroit to Kansas City
Background: The United States lags peer nations in infant mortality, with persistent racial and geographic inequities. In Missouri, Black infants experience mortality rates more than double those of White infants. Addressing these disparities requires community-driven interventions beginning before conception and extending beyond routine perinatal care. Objectives: We describe the development and feasibility of Women & Person-Empowered Community …

Exploring Participant Perspectives on Implementation and Sustainment of Taking It to the Pews
African American faith institutions can play a key role in increasing HIV education and testing in communities disproportionately burdened by HIV. This focus group study explored church participant perspectives of a religiously tailored HIV education and testing intervention implemented through a clustered, randomized controlled trial with 14 African American churches in Kansas City. Focus group participants from intervention churches emphasized …
Public Health in the Political Sphere
Calls for depoliticizing public health often conflate politicization with partisanship, limiting the tools we have to advance health equity. We argue, through the lens of zero-fare public transit, that promoting health equity is an inherently political process. The processes that advance access to public services as a public good exist in the political sphere and have direct impacts on the health of vulnerable populations. To advance population h…
Effects of a Faith-Based, Multilevel Intervention on HIV-Related Stigma and HIV Knowledge Among African American Church-Affiliated Populations
BACKGROUND: HIV-related stigmas contribute to HIV disparities, which faith-based organizations could address, but few studies have measured faith-based HIV intervention effects on HIV-related stigmas. METHODS: Taking It to the Pews (TIPS) is a multilevel, religiously tailored HIV prevention intervention developed and implemented with faith leaders. Over 12 months, trained church health liaisons implemented the TIPS Toolkit (e.g., HIV sermon guide…
Economic insecurity and depression among youth of color during the Covid-19 pandemic
Although the pandemic intensified acute stressors, these findings highlight deeper, long-standing structural inequities that contribute to the mental health challenges of youth of color and remain relevant in the post-pandemic period. The personal salience of COVID-related financial strain may have had a particularly strong psychological link during this period. Accordingly, we discuss implications for clinical, community, and policy intervention…
HIV Testing in African American Churches
To examine effects of a multilevel, religiously-tailored HIV testing intervention, Taking It to the Pews (TIPS), on receipt of HIV testing with African American church-affiliated populations, 14 African American churches (N = 1,491) were randomized to TIPS or a multilevel, non-tailored HIV education attention-control arm in a cluster-randomized trial (Kansas City urban area, 2013 to 2019). Receipt of an HIV test was examined using objective data …
The Association between Use of Tobacco, Alcohol, or Cannabis and Metabolic Syndrome
Objectives: In this study, we describe the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and tobacco use and other behavioral and socio-economic characteristics. Methods: We collected demographic, anthropometric, and bioclinical data on 961 individuals at risk of MetS. We categorized frequency of use of tobacco product and other substances (alcohol and cannabis) as never, occasional, and regular. We used regression models to assess th…
Impacts of zero-fare transit policy on health and social determinants
Population-level efforts are needed to increase levels of physical activity and healthy eating to reduce and manage chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Interventions to increase public transit use may be one promising strategy, particularly for low-income communities or populations of color who are disproportionately burdened by health disparities and transportation barriers. This study employs a natural…
Feasibility and Acceptability of the Project Faith Influencing Transformation Intervention in Faith-Based Settings
African Americans (AAs) are disproportionately burdened with diabetes and prediabetes. Predominately AA churches may be optimal settings for reaching AAs at greatest diabetes risk, along with related morbidities and mortalities. The current study used the RE-AIM framework to qualitatively examine the feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction with the Project Faith Influencing Transformation (FIT) intervention, a diabetes risk reduction interve…
The Importance of Community-Based and Community-Partnered Covid-19 Testing for Reducing Disparities Among African American Populations
Background: Health inequalities in African American communities have been further exacerbated by COVID-19. Public health departments and other safety-net providers across the United States have partnered with community-based organizations to address barriers to COVID-19 testing in disproportionately impacted communities. This narrative review summarizes lessons learned from published examples of these community-based COVID-19 testing efforts. Met…
Food Security and Cardio-Metabolic Risk in Individuals with Metabolic Syndrome
This study assessed the association of food security with potential cardio-metabolic risk factors among persons with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Data were derived from the baseline data of a randomized controlled lifestyle intervention trial for individuals with MetS. Household food security, fruit and vegetable intake, perceived food environment, and perceived stress were collected using validated questionnaires. Cardio-metabolic measures assesse…

School-based racial microaggressions
Findings suggest that school-based racial/ethnic microaggressions negatively impact resilience after violence exposure among African American adolescents exposed to multiple ACEs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
We Are Our Own Counselor”
Despite risk for trauma, subsequent mental health concerns, and poor health outcomes, young Black/African American men (YBM) are less likely to receive mental health services than other racial/ethnic groups. Despite the growing literature on resilience, there is less information on relationships between resilience, risk behaviors, and use of mental health services. This study sought to examine resilience, trauma-related risk behaviors, and receip…
Building a Contextually-Relevant Understanding of Resilience among African American Youth Exposed to Community Violence
Studies consistently demonstrate that African American youth experience disproportionate levels of community violence, which is associated with negative health and well-being outcomes among these youth. The frequency and severity of community violence exposure is a unique challenge for these youth and requires tailored approaches to promote resilience after community violence exposure. However, limited research exists that operationalizes resilie…
Dietary Intake Among Church-Affiliated African Americans
