Covid-19 testing and vaccination uptake among Spanish-speaking Latine persons: Impact of a novel social network intervention
COVID-19 disproportionately affected Latine communities in the United States, particularly Spanish-speaking and immigrant Latines. Our community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership developed and tested Nuestra Comunidad Saludable, a Spanish-language intervention harnessing community-based peer navigation and mHealth. The objective of this work is to test the intervention using a cluster randomized trial design to increase COVID-19 tes…
O Aumento Da Resistência Bacteriana Pós-Covid-19: Uma Revisão Integrativa
As bactérias são unicelulares, procariontes e quando resistentes aos antibióticos são uma ameaça grave a saúde pública. Sua resistência intensifica-se pelo uso inadequado de antimicrobianos. A pandemia da COVID-19 agravou esse problema pela desinformação, resultando em superbactérias resistentes a múltiplos medicamentos aumentando a mortalidade. O objetivo do estudo é realizar uma revisão integrativa, avaliando o impacto da pandemia na resistênci…
Evaluating a Telephone and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Intervention to Improve Blood Pressure Control and Self-Care Behaviors in Adults with Low-Socioeconomic Status
Hypertension (HTN) affects nearly 75 million in the United States, and percentages increase with low socioeconomic status (SES) due to poor access to, and quality of, care, and poor self-care behaviors. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) employ evidence-based strategies, such as telehealth interventions, to improve blood pressure (BP) control in under-resourced communities, yet a southeastern FQHC could achieve a BP control rate of only 2…
Survey of Adherence with Covid-19 Prevention Behaviors During the 2020 Thanksgiving and Winter Holidays Among Members of the Covid-19 Community Research Partnership
Prevention behaviors represent important public health tools to limit spread of SARS-CoV-2. Adherence with recommended public health prevention behaviors among 20000 + members of a COVID-19 syndromic surveillance cohort from the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States was assessed via electronic survey following the 2020 Thanksgiving and winter holiday (WH) seasons. Respondents were predominantly non-Hispanic Whites (90%), female (60%), and ≥…
Racial Differences in Trends and Prognosis of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy for Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (Aric) Surveillance Study
Glucometabolic State Transitions: The Jackson Heart Study
In AAs, glucometabolic transitions were frequent and most involved deterioration. From a public health perspective additional emphasis should be placed on weight control to preserve glucometabolic status and prevent progression to T2D
Older Adult Internet Use and eHealth Literacy
We examine Internet use and eHealth literacy among older adults (aged 55+ years) who were patients at clinics serving low-income populations. Participants included 200 minority and White adults who completed interviews based on a technology acceptance conceptual model. A total of 106 participants (53.0%) used the Internet; utilization was associated with personal characteristics (age, ethnicity, education, poverty), computer characteristics (numb…
A Citizen Science Approach to Determine Physical Activity Patterns and Demographics of Greenway Users in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Citizen science is a growing method of scientific discovery and community engagement. To date, there is a paucity of data using citizen scientists to monitor community level physical activity, such as bicycling or walking; these data are critical to inform community level intervention. Volunteers were recruited from the local community to make observations at five local greenways. The volunteers picked their location, time to collect data and dur…
Comparison of Measures of Adiposity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among African American Adults: The Jackson Heart Study
Cardiovascular Health in African Americans: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Population-wide reductions in cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality have not been shared equally by African Americans. The burden of cardiovascular disease in the African American community remains high and is a primary cause of disparities in life expectancy between African Americans and whites. The objectives of the present scientific statement are to describe cardiovascular health in African Americans and to hi…
Longitudinal Associations Between Neighborhood Physical and Social Environments and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (Mesa)
IMPORTANCE: Neighborhood environments may influence the risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but, to our knowledge, no longitudinal study has evaluated specific neighborhood exposures. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether long-term exposures to neighborhood physical and social environments, including the availability of healthy food and physical activity resources and levels of social cohesion and safety, are associated with incident T…
Associations of chronic individual-level and neighbourhood-level stressors with incident coronary heart disease: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND: Several individual-level stressors have been linked to incident coronary heart disease (CHD), but less attention has focused on the influence of neighbourhood-level sources of stress. In this study we examined prospective associations of individual-level and neighbourhood-level stressors with incident CHD. METHODS: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis participants aged 45-84 years at baseline (2000-2002) with complete data were inclu…
