Addressing a gap in community-engaged research
Background: Community-engaged research depends on sharing findings effectively; however, few tools translate implementation capacity and readiness data into actionable feedback. This gap limits community organizations' ability to use results to guide health program implementation, build trust in research, and sustain ongoing participation. This study developed and used a tailored survey response report process for congregations participating in t…
Adherence to ready-to-use therapeutic food in older children with sickle cell anaemia and severe acute malnutrition
INTRODUCTION: Children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) in Sub-Saharan Africa face a higher risk of malnutrition, increasing morbidity and mortality rates. We conducted a randomised controlled feasibility trial to treat children aged 5-12 years with SCA and severe acute malnutrition (body mass index Z-score <-3.0) in Kano, Nigeria (n=108). Despite high rates of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) consumption, as measured by returned RUTF sachets, …
Evaluating patient outcomes and stakeholder perspectives in a novel healthcare transition clinic for young people living with HIV
Patients transitioning from pediatric to adult HIV care have lower rates of retention in care and viral suppression. Health system interventions can improve outcomes in adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYA-HIV). We designed and implemented an Adolescent Young Adult Healthcare Transition (AYAHCT) clinic in a U.S.-based healthcare system. We present a mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) evaluation. The quantitative analysis inc…
PrEP Navigator Perceptions of the Implementation of Injectable PrEP on HIV Prevention in Tennessee
Tennessee is in the southern region of the United States and has not yet fully benefitted from HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Relatively little research has focused on pivotal roles of PrEP navigators. This study examined PrEP navigator perceptions of implementing long-acting injectable (LAI) PrEP in Tennessee. Semi-structured interviews with state-funded navigators were audio-recorded, transcribed, and systematically coded using a hierarch…
A qualitative exploration of illness-related experiences, emotions, and coping among adults with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (Pots)
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a relatively common, burdensome condition of the autonomic nervous system characterized by orthostatic intolerance. This paper presents a subset of findings from a qualitative study investigating the lived experience and perspectives of adults with POTS. Twenty-nine individuals participated in a series of focus groups. We present a conceptual model which summarizes themes related to illness-rela…
Demonstrating Health Systems Science Across Residency Learning Environments
Purpose: The American Medical Association’s Accelerating Change in Medical Education consortium defined health systems science (HSS) as the study of how health care is delivered, how health care professionals work together to deliver that care, and how the health system can improve patient care and health care delivery. 1 This framework is increasingly being adopted into undergraduate medical education (UME) to prepare graduates for success as th…
Defining Successful Practice Within Health Systems Science Among Entering Residents
PURPOSE: The American Medical Association's Accelerating Change in Medical Education consortium defined health systems science (HSS) as the study of how health care is delivered, how health care professionals work together to deliver that care, and how the health system can improve patient care and health care delivery. This framework is increasingly being incorporated into medical school curricula. Graduate medical education (GME) had previously…
Relational approaches to community-based health promotion across scales of practice
In this article, we describe a personalized approach to meeting individual and community health needs that foregrounds relational learning. This article analyzes how relational approaches to learning expand participants' objectives and result in more enduring learning. We report on mixed methods data from interviews, focus groups, surveys, and goal setting and monitoring. Analyses reveal that relationships de confianza served as a central tool in…
Why Do Women Not Use the Bathroom? Women’s Attitudes and Beliefs on Using Public Restrooms
There are a variety of factors and influences, both internal and external, that may impact an individual’s public toileting experience and may ultimately have repercussions for bladder health. This study sought to identify predominant constructs underlying a women’s attitude towards using restrooms at work, at school, and in public in order to develop a conceptual model incorporating these themes. We performed a secondary analysis of a cross-sect…
Barriers and facilitators to dissemination and adoption of precision medicine among Hispanics/Latinos
Culturally-and linguistically-tailored, low-literacy educational material about PM should be created in English and Spanish. Future research should examine provider-level and system-level barriers and facilitators to implementation and adoption of PM among Hispanic/Latino patients

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Quality of Care
Religious Affiliation, Health Behaviors and Outcomes
Development and Validation of a Religious Health Fatalism Measure for the African-American Faith Community
Health researchers struggle to understand barriers to improving health in the African-American community. The African-American church is one of the most promising venues for health promotion, disease prevention, and disparities reduction. Religious fatalism, the belief that health outcomes are inevitable and/or determined by God, may inhibit healthy behaviors for a subset of religious persons. This study reports the development and validation of …
Religious Fatalism and Its Association With Health Behaviors and Outcomes
Separate estimates of portion size were not essential for energy and nutrient estimation
Objective A food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was developed to assess habitual dietary intake in the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS), a prospective epidemiological study to analyse disparities in cancer and other chronic diseases between African-Americans and Whites. Design Frequency and portion size estimates were obtained for each of 104 foods. Daily intakes of 13 food groups, energy and 18 nutrients were computed. Each participant's ra…
Comparing Diabetes Prevalence Between African Americans and Whites of Similar Socioeconomic Status
Objectives. We investigated whether racial disparities in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes exist beyond what may be attributable to differences in socioeconomic status (SES) and other modifiable risk factors. Methods. We analyzed data from 34331 African American and 9491 White adults aged 40 to 79 years recruited into the ongoing Southern Community Cohort Study. Participants were enrolled at community health centers and had similar socioeconomic…
Contextual Factors Influencing the Eating Behaviours of African American Women
African American women showed considerable variability in how they approached planning, choosing, preparing and eating food. A plethora of habits and food meanings-influenced by the personal, cultural, and environmental context-place these women at high risk for chronic disease. There were attempts to eat 'healthy', but these were overcome by traditions, social influences, habits and price. Individualized assessments to determine how each woman u…
