Persistence and transience of food insecurity and predictors among residents of two disadvantaged communities in South Carolina
Recruitment and Retention for the Evaluation of a Healthy Food Initiative in Economically Disadvantaged, Majority African American Communities
Effective recruitment and retention supports equitable participation in research. The aim of this article is to describe recruitment and retention methods among residents of highly disadvantaged, predominantly African American communities in the southeastern United States during the evaluation of a healthy food access initiative. We proposed that active and passive recruitment methods, intensive retention strategies, community outreach and involv…

Socioeconomic factors associated with diet quality and meeting dietary guidelines in disadvantaged neighborhoods in the Southeast United States
Objective : To examine diet quality and dietary intake among residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods in the Southeast United States (U.S.) and to examine associations between dietary and socioeconomic factors. Design : We examined baseline data from an evaluation study of a healthy food access initiative. Participants were recruited from two urban settings comprising seven neighborhoods of high household poverty (17% to 62%). Participants comple…
Food Shopping and Acquisition Behaviors in Relation to BMI among Residents of Low-Income Communities in South Carolina
Low-income areas in which residents have poor access to healthy foods have been referred to as "food deserts." It is thought that improving food access may help curb the obesity epidemic. Little is known about where residents of food deserts shop and if shopping habits are associated with body mass index (BMI). We evaluated the association of food shopping and acquisition (e.g., obtaining food from church, food pantries, etc.) with BMI among 459 …
Dietary Intake, Behaviors and Psychosocial Factors among Women from Food-Secure and Food-Insecure Households
While food security status was associated with diet-related psychosocial and behavioral factors, it was associated with few aspects of dietary intake. Dietary intake overall was poor. Participants were not meeting guidelines for a diet supportive of general health or weight loss and management, regardless of food security status
Body Size Perceptions among Overweight and Obese African American Women
Although women desired a smaller body size, there nonetheless were misperceptions of body size and the associated health consequences. Body size misperceptions and/or satisfaction may pose barriers for effective weight-loss
Building Capacity in Disadvantaged Communities
A community-university partnership successfully conducted a local educational needs assessment and developed and pilot tested a capacity development program within a CBPR partnership. Successes, challenges, and lessons learned will guide program refinement, replication, and dissemination
Development of Culturally Tailored Educational Brochures on HPV and Pap Tests for American Indian Women
Purpose: Participatory formative research guided the creation of a culturally tailored educational brochure about human papillomavirus (HPV) at an American Indian women’s clinic. Method: A review of existing educational materials and in-depth interviews were conducted. Nine steps for creating health communications messages that were patterned after National Cancer Institute guidelines guided the brochure development process. Results: Of 95 women …
The Role of Family History of Cancer on Cervical Cancer Screening Behavior in a Population-based Survey of Women in the Southeastern United States
Do Health Beliefs, Health Care System Distrust, and Racial Pride Influence HPV Vaccine Acceptability among African American College Females
The promise of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines rests with the ability to promote widespread uptake especially among populations at high risk of cervical cancer and other associated disease outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine health beliefs and culturally specific influences of HPV vaccine acceptability among African American college females. Approximately 76 percent of participants reported HPV vaccine acceptability. Predictors…
Promoting a Bicycle-Friendly Environment
This project illustrates how community members can apply research findings to an educational video of high quality with local relevance. The leadership from community members in making the video set the foundation for local ownership
Correlates of Physical Activity Among African American and White Women
The Exercise Experience in Adults With Arthritis
Introduction to “Cruelty, Suffering, Imagination
For over two decades, Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee has brilliantly addressed issues of interest to anthropologists: the brutal effects of racist tyranny and injustice in South Africa; the reach of empire; guilt and revenge; and the problem of language in particular historical and political moments. In his recent work Elizabeth Costello (2003a), Coetzee confronts a particularly pressing set of contemporary political and ethical concerns, ones to w…
Association of Body Mass Index to Meeting Physical Activity Recommendations
Meeting either recommendation was associated with BMI; however, a larger proportion of persons were meeting the less demanding CDC-ACSM recommendation
Associations of Perceived Social and Physical Environmental Supports With Physical Activity and Walking Behavior
We evaluated perceived social and environmental supports for physical activity and walking using multivariable modeling. Perceptions were obtained on a sample of households in a southeastern county. Respondents were classified according to physical activity levels and walking behaviors. Respondents who had good street lighting; trusted their neighbors; and used private recreational facilities, parks, playgrounds, and sports fields were more likel…

Beliefs About Diet and Health
Low income older women (N = 20) in South Carolina were recruited from congregate meal sites for qualitative interviews to assess beliefs about general health, physical functioning, and preventive health behaviors. A loosely structured interview guide of topics was used to encourage free expression of informants' ideas. The Ethnograph analysis package was used for data analysis. In response to open-ended questions, the women spontaneously shared t…
Measurement of Social Interaction in Change of Health Behavior
A social network approach to measuring social interaction related to change of health behavior required 460 participants in a health promotion program to nominate up to five network members and to rate the supportiveness of each person in changing health behavior during the previous year. Exploratory factor analysis of intercorrelations of the eight items suggested two factors representing supportive and negative interaction with internal consist…

Adaptation of a General Optimism Scale for Use with Older Women
The Life Orientation Test has been widely used with various populations since its development, but its psychometric properties among older adults have not been assessed. This study employed exploratory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of a modified version of the test for 90 frail older women. The results do not support a unidimensional conceptualization of optimism. Internal consistency reliability was lower for the entire scale t…

Always Believe the Victim," "Innocent Until Proven Guilty," "There Is No Truth
This article calls for the reader's imaginative engagement in a highly-charged situation involving accusations of sexual harassment on the campus. This event made visible not only the contradictions between the traditional humanism grounding higher education and postmodern and feminist challenges to it, but also the dangers of feminist collaboration in liberal humanist projects.
