Reduced Prevalence of Obesity in 14 Disadvantaged Black Communities in the United States
Objectives. To assess the impact of a large-scale place-based intervention on obesity prevalence in Black communities. Methods. The Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health across the United States (REACH US) project was conducted in 14 predominantly Black communities in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. We measured trends from 2009 to 2012 in the pr…

Decreasing disparity in cholesterol screening in minority communities—findings from the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health 2010
BACKGROUND: Highly controlled research projects demonstrated success in preventing and controlling cardiovascular diseases. Community-based programs have yet to demonstrate significant influence. Data on large-scale community-level interventions targeting minority communities are limited. The aim of this study is to measure the impact of the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH 2010) project, a community-based intervention to e…
Siegel Et Al. Respond
In our article, we presented the results of a study from which we concluded that a change in the 1992 BRFSS questionnaire wording caused a reduction in the measured prevalence of mammography screening, especially among Black women and women with less than a high school education. Berumen points out that the Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act, passed by Congress in 1990, may have increased mammography use among low-income women an…

Trends in overweight among US adults from 1987 to 1993
OBJECTIVES: Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, this study describes trends in the prevalence of overweight between 1987 and 1993. METHODS: Data were examined from 33 states participating in an ongoing telephone survey of health behaviors of adults (n = 387,704). Self-reported weights and heights were used to calculate sex-specific prevalence estimates of overweight for each year from 1987 to 1993. Time trends were eva…
Trends in smokeless tobacco use among men in four states, 1988 through 1993
OBJECTIVES: Trends in smokeless tobacco use were examined for men in Indiana, Iowa, Montana, and West Virginia from 1988 through 1993. METHODS: State survey data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed. RESULTS: Demographic characteristics associated with smokeless tobacco use included age less than 35 years, a high school education or less, and rural residence. Overall, there was little change in smokeless tobac…

The epidemiology of walking for exercise
The relative contribution of walking to overall leisure-time physical activity participation rates was studied among respondents from the 45 states that participated in the 1990 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (n = 81,557). The percentages of low income, unemployed, and obese persons who engaged in leisure-time physical activity (range = 51.1% to 57.7%) were substantially lower than the percentage among the total adult population (70.3…
