Nutrition literacy predicts adherence to healthy/unhealthy diet patterns in adults with a nutrition-related chronic condition
Objective: To describe the relationship between adherence to distinct dietary patterns and nutrition literacy. Design: We identified distinct dietary patterns using principal covariates regression (PCovR) and principal components analysis (PCA) from the Diet History Questionnaire II. Nutrition literacy was assessed using the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLit). Cross-sectional relationships between dietary pattern adherence and global…
Ongoing Self‐Engagement in Quit Attempts and Cessation Outcomes Among Rural Smokers Who Were Unable to Quit After 2 Years of Repeated Interventions
Purpose: As many smokers experience repeated failures with cessation attempts, it has been postulated that we may create a cadre of highly resistant smokers who are unlikely to engage in treatment or succeed in quitting. Our purpose was to follow a group of recalcitrant rural smokers and examine their ongoing engagement in smoking cessation activities. Methods: At the end of a 24‐month disease management program for rural smokers, we identified p…
Empowering Promotores de Salud to Engage in Community-Based Participatory Research
BACKGROUND: Latino immigrants are less likely to be involved in addressing health-related issues affecting their own community. Community health workers have played a significant role in addressing the health of underserved communities in several countries. OBJECTIVE: were able to develop interventions based on the needs of recent Latino immigrants. METHODS: ' canvassing activities and assessment of health behaviors. RESULTS: administered 105 hou…
Motivational Interviewing for encouraging quit attempts among unmotivated smokers

Perceptions of the Screening Mammography Experience by Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Women
Change in self-efficacy, autonomous and controlled motivation predicting smoking
Although motivational interviewing (MI) has been shown to be effective in changing health behaviors, its effects on smoking cessation have been mixed. The purpose of the present study is to assess factors of motivation and self-efficacy as they mediate the relationship between MI and smoking cessation. This is a secondary analysis of an MI based smoking cessation randomized trial. MI counseling was associated with change in smoking behaviors duri…
Engaging diverse underserved communities to bridge the mammography divide
This highly innovative project will be guided and initiated by AI/AN and Latina community members and will test the practical application of emerging behavioral theory among minority persons living in rural communities
Tobacco Use and Interest in Smoking Cessation Among Latinos Attending Community Health Fairs
Kansas Primary Care Weighs In
Context: Obesity is a chronic disease of epidemic proportions in the United States. Primary care providers are critical to timely diagnosis and treatment of obesity, and need better tools to deliver effective obesity care. Purpose: To conduct a pilot randomized trial of a chronic care model (CCM) program for obesity care in rural Kansas primary care. Methods: We enrolled 107 participants to a 6‐month, 2‐armed, randomized trial comparing a CCM for…
Understanding Smoking Cessation in Rural Communities
Context: Rural communities are adversely impacted by increased rates of tobacco use. Rural residents may be exposed to unique communal norms and other factors that influence smoking cessation. Purpose: This study explored facilitating factors and barriers to cessation and the role of rural health care systems in the smoking‐cessation process. Methods: Focus groups were conducted with smokers (N = 63) in 7 Midwestern rural communities. Qualitative…
Correlates of Self-efficacy among Rural Smokers
Self-efficacy has been related to intent to stop smoking, abstinence success, and risk for relapse. Because limited research exists regarding self-efficacy among rural smokers, the current study examined correlates of self-efficacy among rural primary care patients smoking ≥10 cigarettes per day. Participants completed a telephone survey assessing demographics, smoking history, and psychosocial variables (e.g. motivation, depression). Among the 7…
