Racial/Ethnic Differences in Prosocial Beliefs and Prevention Behavior During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Examining strategies for addressing high levels of ‘I don’t know’ responding to risk perception questions for colorectal cancer and diabetes
Objective Many people say they ‘don’t know’ their risk for common diseases (DK responders). Inadequate health literacy and higher disease information avoidance may suppress risk knowledge and thereby increase DK responding. Study goals were to examine two plausible interventions to address the health education needs of DK responders. Design: Participants were identified in a pre-screener as DK responders for either diabetes or colorectal cancer (…
Agency beliefs are associated with lower health information avoidance
Background: Avoiding health information is relatively common and is associated with lower knowledge of health risks and lower engagement in protective health behaviour. Health information avoidance likely limits the effectiveness of health communication interventions. Objective: To identify beliefs associated with avoiding health information. Design: Two cross-sectional studies. Setting: Two representative samples of adults residing in the USA. M…
Comprehension of skin cancer genetic risk feedback in primary care patients
Cultural worldviews and perceived risk of colon cancer and diabetes
Individuals with different cultural worldviews conceptualize risks in distinct ways, yet this work has not extended to personal illness risk perception. The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the relationships between two types of cultural worldviews (Hierarchy-Egalitarian; Individualism-Communitarianism) and perceived risk (perceived severity and susceptibility) for diabetes and colon cancer, 2) test whether health literacy modifies the abo…
Measuring positive psychosocial sequelae in patients with advanced cancer
These findings indicate that concurrent administration of the PTGI and BFS may be unnecessary given the high degree of overlap between these 2 measures and that a brief subset of items may adequately evaluate positive change among patients with advanced cancer while reducing participant burden.

Indoor Tanning Trends Among US Adults, 2007–2018
Objectives. To examine indoor tanning trends among US adults, and the relation to indoor tanning youth access legislation. Methods. This study analyzed the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), a mailed survey, from the years 2007, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2018 (combined n = 20 2019). Results. Indoor tanning prevalence decreased significantly over time among all US adults from 2007 (10%) to 2018 (4%; P Conclusions. This study iden…
Differences in Rural and Urban Health Information Access and Use
PURPOSE: Rural residents may have lower access to and use of certain health information sources relative to urban residents. We investigated differences in information source access and use between rural and urban US adults and whether having low health literacy might exacerbate rural disparities in access to and use of health information. METHODS: Six hundred participants (50% rural) completed an online survey about access and use of 25 health i…

Health Literacy and Use and Trust in Health Information
There is a need to investigate which health information sources are used and trusted by people with limited health literacy to help identify strategies for addressing knowledge gaps that can contribute to preventable illness. We examined whether health literacy was associated with people's use of and trust in a range of potential health information sources. Six hundred participants from a GfK Internet survey panel completed an online survey. We a…

Keos and the Eastern Aegean the Cretan Connection
Jack L. Davis, Elizabeth Schofield, Robin Torrence, David F. Williams, Keos and the Eastern Aegean the Cretan Connection, Hesperia: The Journal of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Vol. 52, No. 4 (Oct. - Dec., 1983), pp. 361-366
The Western Cyclades and CRETE
This paper examines the idea that in the Later Bronze Age a regular exchange network linked Crete to the Western Cyclades and assured them of preferential treatment. Comparison of the degree of Minoan influence on Keos, Melos and Thera with that on the other Cycladic islands confirms that the former group had a special relationship with Crete; but the evidence is insufficient to prove that they acted as secondary distribution centres for Minoan g…
