The Lives of First-Generation German Immigrant Women in Franklin County, Missouri
The area along the Missouri River west of St. Louis, Missouri was a major locus of immigration from Germany between 1850 and 1860, in part due to a publication by Gottfried Duden that received wide attention in Germany. While a fair amount has been written about the lives of immigrants in Missouri, most has focused on the experiences of men. The lives of women are largely restricted to recordings of marriage, births and death. Lacking is context …
Developing a peer-led intervention to promote Covid-19 testing in low-income housing settings
Background: The Housing Collaborative project at Eastern Virginia Medical School has developed a method of adapting public health guidance from public housing communities, which face tremendous health challenges in cardiometabolic health, cancer, and other major health conditions. In this paper, we describe how academic and community partners in the Housing Collaborative came together to do this work with a focus on COVID-19 testing in the contex…
A Critical Theoretical Approach to Cancer Disparities
Breast cancer is the most commonly experienced cancer among women. Its high rates of incidence and survival mean that a number of women will live it for periods of their lifetimes. Group differences in breast cancer incidence and mortality occur by race and ethnicity. For example, while white women are slightly more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, Black women are 40% more likely to die from the disease. In this article, rather than foc…
Racial Disparities in Breast Reconstruction at a Comprehensive Cancer Center
Searching beyond the Lamppost to Reduce Breast Cancer Disparities
Racial and ethnic differences in breast cancer occur by race/ethnicity in both incidence and mortality rates. Women of lower socioeconomic status likewise have poorer outcomes. When race alone is considered, incidence rates in the United States are highest among White women (130.8 per 100,000), with Black women close behind (126.7 per 100,000). Incidence is lowest among Asian/Pacific Islander women, at 93.2 per 100,000. Mortality differences are …
Looking beyond the Lamppost
Although innovative and impactful interventions are necessary for the primary prevention of breast cancer, the factors influencing program adoption, implementation, and sustainment are key, yet remain poorly understood. Insufficient attention has been paid to the primary prevention of breast cancer in state and national cancer plans, limiting the impact of evidence-based interventions on population health. This commentary highlights the state of …

Smokers’ unprompted comments on cigarette additives during conversations about the genetic basis for nicotine addiction
Participants had distinct beliefs about cigarette additives, each of which seemed to serve a purpose. Although mistrust may complicate communication about the health risks of tobacco use, health communication experts could use smokers' existing beliefs and feelings to better design more effective anti-smoking messages
Preparing Our Next-Generation Scientific Workforce to Address the Grand Challenges for Social Work
The 12 Grand Challenges for Social Work make clear the need for a broad new approach for social work to solve complex contemporary social problems. The grand challenges likewise highlight the importance of developing and coordinating a plan to prepare the next generations of social work scholars for high-impact careers that contribute to the identification and implementation of solutions. This paper provides an overview of contemporary trends aff…
Next generation social work research education
Globally, scholars across disciplines are seeing increasing pressures to develop the capacity for multi-level, boundary-spanning research focused on complex social, health, and environmental problems. Although social work is inherently an integrative discipline, the profession faces challenges and gaps in effectively and thoughtfully responding to these demands. This paper focuses on transdisciplinarity, arguing that it is a core dimension of res…
"I don't believe it." Acceptance and skepticism of genetic health information among African-American and White smokers
An Evaluation of Psychosocial and Religious Belief Differences in a Diverse Racial and Socioeconomic Urban Cancer Population
Differences in preferences for models of consent for biobanks between Black and White women
Embedded mistrust then and now
The risk of African American women dying from breast cancer is estimated to be 41% higher than that of White women throughout the USA. Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) perspective, this qualitative study elicited attitudes, beliefs and concerns about breast cancer and its treatment amongst African Americans living in Chicago. Five hundred and three women and men were recruited from 15 of Chicago’s predominantly African Americ…
Social Work and Science
Interest has grown in the past few years about the place of social work in science. Questions remain, such as whether social work should be considered a science, and if so, where it fits into the constellation of sciences. This article attempts to shed light on these questions. After briefly considering past and present constructions of science and reflecting on views of science within the social work profession over time, we present an argument …
Smokers’ beliefs about the tobacco control potential of “a gene for smoking”
Participants generated several possible tobacco control uses for genomics research findings. Our findings suggest that tobacco control experts should consult with smokers prior to implementing tobacco control measures. The potential public health benefits of genetics and genomics research related to tobacco use cannot be realized until communication strategies that are most likely to encourage and support tobacco avoidance decisions, and minimize…

Nine Key Functions for a Human Subjects Protection Program for Community-Engaged Research
The ethical conduct of Community-Engaged Research (CEnR), of which the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) model is the partnership model most widely discussed in the CEnR literature and is the primary model we draw upon in this discussion, requires an integrated and comprehensive human subjects protection (HSP) program that addresses the additional concerns salient to CEnR where members of a community are both research partners and par…
Human Subjects Protections in Community-Engaged Research
In the 30 years since the Belmont Report, the role of the community in research has evolved and has taken on greater moral significance. Today, more and more translational research is being performed with the active engagement of individuals and communities rather than merely upon them. This engagement requires a critical examination of the range of risks that may arise when communities become partners in research. In attempting to provide such a…

Targeting Health Disparities
Certain social/environmental factors put some groups at extraordinary risk for adverse health outcomes, creating health disparities. We present a downward causal model, originating at the population level and ending at disease, with psychological and behavioral responses linking the two. This approach identifies how specific social environments "get under the skin" to cause disease, illustrated with the disparity in mortality from aggressive prem…
Approaching Health Disparities From a Population Perspective
Addressing health disparities has been a national challenge for decades. The National Institutes of Health-sponsored Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities are the first federal initiative to support transdisciplinary multilevel research on the determinants of health disparities. Their novel research approach combines population, clinical, and basic science to elucidate the complex determinants of health disparities. The centers are…

Collective memory, candidacy, and victimisation
Collectively shared ideas of community may be equally relevant for the study of health disparities as quantifying the relationship between community structures and health. Data from focus groups (N = 18) that explored understandings of breast cancer and breast cancer risk in African American neighbourhoods revealed three conceptual domains where shared ideas of community informed responses: collective memory, community candidacy, and community vi…

Effects of field size when using Kerley's histological method for determination of age at death
The field size at which a bone is read affects the results obtained when using Kerley's histological method for age estimation, even after applying the recommended correction factor. Whereas there is no tendency for any one of three field sizes tested to consistently underestimate or overestimate age, a field size closest to that used by Kerley in his original study had significantly lower variances for its age estimates, and thus provides greate…

Social and Health Policy Concerns Raised by the Introduction of the Contraceptive Norplant
Norplant has been hailed as a vast improvement over other contraceptive devices since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1990. Studies of Norplant's performance and acceptability demonstrate that it is very effective in preventing pregnancy, that its effects are rapidly reversible, and that women are willing to tolerate its common side effects to receive the benefits of the device. Despite its many positive features, a numbe…

Aids Prevention for Adolescents at Risk
This paper describes a training program aimed at preparing 14 MSW students to teach AIDS prevention to adolescents at risk of HIV infection (i.e., increase knowledge, alter attitudes and teach risk-reduction behaviors). The majority of the students perceived this training not only as helpful in preparing them for the task at hand, but also in improving their overall social work skills and their chances to get a social work job in the future. In t…
The Applicability of Generalizability Theory to Social Work Research and Practice
Social workers have traditionally relied upon classical reliability theory (CT) to evaluate the consistency of the measures that they develop and use. Generalizability theory (GT), which was developed by Cronbach, Gleser, Nanda, and Rajaratnam, has many advantages over CT, however. While CT lumps error into one aggregate, GT allows the researcher to identify and estimate the magnitude of multiple sources of error. Once these sources have been est…

Attributional Style and Locus of Control in Adults with Epilepsy
Little agreement exists on how attributional style and locus of control relate to one another. Some consider the two to be interchangeable; others say that they overlap but are not identical. This study of the perceptions of control (conceptualized as attributional style and locus of control) of 144 adults with epilepsy, measured via a mailed survey, lends support to the latter notion. Attributional style for bad events, but not for good events, …
Mammary Cancer and Social Interactions
Now that the human genome has been sequenced, along with those of major animal models, there is an urgent need to define those environments that interact with genes. The traditional view focuses on ways that gene products interact with the nuclear environment to regulate cell function, causing the physiologic changes, behaviors, and diseases manifest throughout development and aging. Although this view is essential, it is equally essential to und…
