A community case study of pedestrian environment features of neighborhood walkability and built environment-related 311 service requests surrounding public housing developments serving low-income Bost…
Physical activity is a modifiable health behavior influenced by neighborhood walkability. In-person field audits of pedestrian environment features of neighborhood walkability were conducted at the start of an ongoing multilevel, multicomponent physical activity promotion intervention called Community Walks, taking place in 12 low-income public housing developments (PHDs) in Boston, MA, USA. Following these audits, we then explored alternative, r…
HIV-related Stigma and Alcohol Involvement Among People with HIV Who Engage in Unhealthy Drinking
Unhealthy alcohol use is linked to several adverse health outcomes among people with HIV (PWH). HIV-related stigma (HRS) has been identified as a potential risk factor for unhealthy drinking, but research has been limited, and findings have been equivocal. This cross-sectional study examined associations between HRS and alcohol-related indices in a national sample of PWH with unhealthy alcohol use enrolled in an intervention trial for one of two …
Perceptions of dietary sugar consumption among public housing residents using a modified qualitative photovoice methodology
The multiple social contextual influences on dietary sugar consumption identified in this study, particularly centrality of the home, cultural influences, individual-level sabotaging factors, may be useful for development of culturally tailored health promotion messaging and intervention through multiple channels

Text-messaging to promote smoking cessation among individuals with opioid use disorder
This study demonstrates that individuals with OUD who smoke cigarettes perceive that a text message program designed to promote smoking cessation would motivate and support smoking cessation efforts. Our findings demonstrate that such a program is feasible as participants own cell phones, frequently send and receive text messages, and have unlimited text message plans. Findings from this study provide valuable insight into content and features to…

A measure development study of sugar-sweetened beverage-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and intention among urban, low-income adults
This study provides evidence for the validity of key constructs related to SSB consumption for use in adults, which could provide important theory-based markers for program evaluations of SSB-related interventions
Examination of Food Insecurity, Socio-Demographic, Psychosocial, and Physical Factors among Residents in Public Housing
Among this sample of public housing residents, food insecurity was associated with higher stress, more personal problems, higher experiences of physical symptoms, and lower social support
Resilience and diabetes self-management among African-American men receiving primary care at an urban safety-net hospital
Resilience and personal history of incarceration are associated with adherence to diabetes self-management behaviors among African-American men residing in diabetes hotspots. Future interventions should incorporate resilience training to improve diabetes self-management behaviors. At a societal level, social determinants of health that adversely affect African-American men, such as structural racism and mass incarceration, need to be eliminated
Identifying Barriers and Facilitators to Nutrition and Physical Activity among Public Housing Residents Using Photovoice
Findings revealed multiple facilitators and barriers to healthy eating, physical activity, and weight management among public housing residents with additional factors influencing health within the housing development. Photovoice was a feasible method to engage community members in discussions and may be useful to inform multilevel interventions
Changing the housing environment to reduce obesity in public housing residents
These data provide initial support for the idea that interventions targeting the environment of public housing developments can assist residents to change unhealthy behaviors and can possibly reduce the high levels of chronic disease among public housing residents

Patient Navigation to Promote Smoking Cessation among Low-Income Primary Care Patients
We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a patient navigation intervention. Forty-seven smokers from one safety-net hospital were randomized to either a control group, in which they received a smoking cessation brochure and a list of smoking cessation resources, or a navigation group, in which they received the smoking cessation brochure, a list of smoking cessation resources, and patient …
Dissemination of a Tobacco Cessation Program for Unionized Workers
Many multilevel, contextually relevant, evidenced-based health promotion programs are not disseminated widely. The purpose of this study is to describe the adaptation of a published effective tobacco-use cessation intervention, which was implemented and evaluated in a broader population of unionized workers partnering with a health and welfare fund health benefits carrier. 68 tobacco users enrolled. Implementation and effectiveness outcomes indic…
Development of a Weight Loss Program for Appalachian Kentucky Adults
Although obesity rates are high in Appalachian Kentucky, few interventions have been developed for this population. The purpose of this study was to survey adults in the region about their needs and interest for a weight loss program. A telephone survey was conducted with 404 adults in Appalachian Kentucky. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of respondents were overweight or obese. Nearly half (48%) of respondents reported a diagnosis of a chronic health c…
Association of Sleep Adequacy With More Healthful Food Choices and Positive Workplace Experiences Among Motor Freight Workers
Objectives. We assessed whether adequate sleep is linked to more healthful eating behaviors among motor freight workers and whether it mediates the effects of workplace experiences. Methods. Data were derived from a baseline survey and assessment of permanent employees at 8 trucking terminals. Bivariate and multivariate regression models were used to examine relationships between work environment, sleep adequacy, and dietary choices. Results. The…
Tailored Interventions in Public Health
The authors present a program of research that focuses on reducing health disparities among African American populations through innovative health communication and health promotion interventions. Research on tailored communications ranges from investigating efficacy, manipulating communication variables, and comparing tailored print versus other state-of-the-art intervention modalities to integrating tailored materials into public health interve…
