Financial strain measures and associations with adult health
Older Black Americans' Perspectives on Structural Racism-Resilience as a Form of Resistance
A meta-synthesis of the cycle of financial strain, coping behaviors and health outcomes across the life course
Background: The lived experience and impact of financial strain on broad physical and mental health outcomes is important and yet underexplored. Improving our depth of understanding of the relationship between financial strain and health may offer important insights to address this complex phenomenon. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to conduct a meta-synthesis of existing qualitative literature that investigated or described th…
Understanding human papillomavirus vaccine response and efficacy in people living with HIV
Coinfection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and HIV compounds the risks of developing cervical, anal, and HPV-associated oral neoplasia. Safe prophylactic vaccines are available to prevent HPV infections in people with HIV(PWH). Yet, vaccine efficacy and duration of protection remain questionable. Historically, the efficacy of vaccines has been suboptimal in PWH compared to people without HIV (PWoH).A systematic review of HPV vaccine trials in PW…
Perceptions of Dementia and Dementia Care Among African Immigrants in Minnesota
The findings show that African immigrant cultural beliefs significantly shape dementia care and caregiving attitudes, preferences, and behavioral practices. African immigrants' cultural backgrounds influence (or have the potential to influence) timely access and engagement in dementia care. And, depending on how deeply held these cultural beliefs are, they could affect dementia care and caregiving both positively and negatively. With the rapidly …
The Person Beneath the Hair
Discrimination toward black hair is pervasive in today's society. Hair discrimination is negative bias manifested toward black natural or textured hair styles typically worn by persons of African descent. This commentary discusses the potential effects of hair discrimination on the health and well-being of persons of African descent. Specifically, it explores the mental and physical health implications of hair discrimination and situates it withi…
Best Practice Recommendations for Integrating Health Equity into Pragmatic Clinical Trials for Dementia Care
Although specifically focused on ePCTs involving dementia care, the best practices are applicable to any ePCT and can be useful to advance health equity in traditional clinical trials. This guidance document provides a first step toward promoting holistic, structured integration of health equity into the design and conduct of ePCTs as a matter of good science
Racial Differences in Nursing Home Quality of Life Among Residents Living With Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
ObjectivesAmong nursing home (NH) residents with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD), racial/ethnic disparities in quality of care exist. However, little is known about quality of life (QoL). This study examines racial/ethnic differences in self-reported QoL among NH residents with AD/ADRD. Methods: Validated, in-person QoL surveys from 12,562 long-stay NH residents with AD/ADRD in Minnesota (2012-2015) were linked to Mini…
The Immigrant Memory Collaborative
Research suggests a disparity in the prevalence of dementia, with Black older adults having double the risk compared to their White counterparts. African immigrants are a fast-growing segment of the U.S. Black population, but the dementia care needs and resources of this population are not fully understood. In this paper, we describe the process of working collaboratively with a community partner and project advisory board to conduct a culturally…
Where to Retire? Experiences of Older African Immigrants in the United States
Doubling in size since the 1970s, the aging needs of the African immigrant population are not fully understood. This qualitative study examined experiences of aging and retirement planning for African immigrant older adults in the United States (U.S.). Specifically, it explored the factors, processes, and ultimate decision of where these older adults planned to retire. Secondary analysis of semi-structured interviews with 15 older African immigra…
Acculturation and Cardiovascular Risk Screening among African Immigrants
Acculturation and immigration-related factors may impact preventive, routine cardiovascular risk (CV) screening among African immigrants. We examined the associations between length of stay, percent of life spent in the U.S. (proxy for acculturation), and CV screening. Outcomes were recent screening for hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to examine these relationships. Among 437 African …
An Exploration of the Relationship Between Diabetes and Depression Among Immigrants in the United States
Social determinants of hypertension and diabetes among African immigrants
Among African immigrants, those who were unemployed had a higher likelihood of a self-reported diagnosis of diabetes than those who were employed. Also, people who had health insurance were more likely to self-report a diagnosis of hypertension. Additional studies are needed to further understand the influence of social determinants of health on hypertension and diabetes to develop health policies and interventions to improve the cardiovascular h…
So I am stuck, but it ́s OK”
Housing preferences and housing decision-making in later life are critical aspects of aging in place, which is a public health priority in many Western countries. However, few studies have examined the economic, social, and health factors that guide older adults' preferences and decisions about where to live, and even less so among older adults with low income or disabilities who may face greater barriers to aging in place. We sought to understan…
Disparities in the Prevalence and Correlates of Disability in Older Immigrants in the USA
Prevalence of functional limitations among foreign and US-born Black older adults
Compared to their US-born counterparts, foreign-born Black older adults had a markedly lower prevalence of upper and lower extremity functional limitations. Future comparative studies should examine reasons for this apparent health advantage among foreign-born adults to inform social and medical interventions to prevent functional decline in Black older adults in the US
