The Circles of Resilience model
Introduction Despite strong evidence linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to poor health, current healthcare interventions lack robust empirical support, underscoring the need for a new framework to build child resilience across healthcare, policy, community, and family systems. Objectives To introduce and provide preliminary empirical evidence supporting the Circles of Resilience (CoR) model by examining whether social connections and vi…
The “pressure” of being an adolescent in the West Bank, Palestine
Introduction: Over 27% of adults in Palestine are reported to have hypertension, and there is limited knowledge about hypertension rates among Palestinian adolescents residing in the West Bank, Palestine. Prolonged exposure to forced displacement has adverse impacts on health, including the risk of hypertension. This study assessed the relationship between refugee status, prehypertension, and hypertension among Palestinian adolescents residing in…
Insights From Community Organizations Collaborating With Government and Academia to Foster Health Literacy
IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted ethnic minority and other underserved communities, prompting the federal government to fund community-led health literacy initiatives. This evaluation shares challenges and lessons learned, and identifies best practices from community-based organizations (CBOs) partnering with academia and local government to support health literacy programming.MethodsIn 2023, 20 representatives from 1…
Evidence of Face Masks and Masking Policies for the Prevention of Sars-CoV-2 Transmission and Covid-19 in Real-World Settings
Objectives: Prevention of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease COVID-19 is a public health priority. The efficacy of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as wearing face masks to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection has been well established in controlled settings. However, evidence for the effectiveness of face masks in preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission within real-world settings is limited and mixed. The presen…
Associations Between Parent’s and Child’s Total Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior among Hispanic/Latino Families
Association between neighborhood environment and self-reported and objectively measured physical activity in Hispanic families
Our findings may underscore the importance of neighborhood aesthetics and traffic safety for PA engagement in children. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm our observations, and to untangle potential mechanisms linking neighborhood environment and PA in understudied populations such as Hispanics
HPV Vaccine Misperceptions Among Hispanics/Latinos in Southern California
Cold Exposures in Relation to Dysmenorrhea among Asian and White Women
Dysmenorrhea is highly prevalent, ranging from 16% to 91% among women, and it can lead to multiple reproductive disorders. However, risk factors associated with dysmenorrhea remain unexamined. Cold exposures can significantly disturb blood circulation and prostaglandin production in the uterus, leading to dysmenorrhea. This study investigated the relationship between cold exposures and dysmenorrhea, as well as potential disparities between Asians…
Psychosocial Correlates of Meeting National Guidelines for Muscle-Strengthening Activities in Latinas
Background Performing regular muscle-strengthening activity has numerous health benefits, including improvements in blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and lean body mass. Despite the disproportionate prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic disease in Latinas (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), most do not report meeting the national guidelines for muscle-strengthening activity. Existing physical activity (PA) research in Latinas has focused almost ex…
Equitable Covid-19 Vaccination for Hispanics in the United States
The ongoing 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues to impact the health of individuals worldwide, including causing pauses in lifesaving cancer screening and prevention measures. From time to time, elective medical procedures, such as those used for cancer screening and early detection, were deferred due to concerns regarding the spread of the infection. The short- and long-term consequences of these temporary measures are c…
Migration and Mobility
The goal of this paper is to determine the association between traveling to engage in sex work in another country and recent access to HIV testing among substance-using female sex workers (FSWs) in the Mexico-Guatemala border region. From 2012 to 2015, through modified time-location sampling and peer referral, 255 FSWs were recruited at Mexico's southern border. Participants completed questionnaires on sociodemographics, migration and mobility ex…
Evaluating US smokers’ willingness to pay for different cigarette packaging designs before and after real-world exposure in a randomised trial
Compared with US branded packs, the negative valuation of non-branded GWL packs attenuates with even 3 months' use but does not generalise to non-used GWLs. This suggests that GWLs should be regularly refreshed. The appeal valuation of industry imagery suggests that the US plan to retain such imagery on packs may ameliorate the effect of GWLs
Intercepted journeys
Substance use and depressive psychiatric symptoms have been associated with migration and mobility. The Mexico-Guatemala border is a key transit point for internal, regional, and international migration flows. However, there is limited knowledge of the role of substance use, migration, and mobility on mental health among migrants at this border. Our paper explores the association of migration and mobility patterns with possible major depressive s…
Role of affective reactivity induced by cigarette packaging including graphic warning labels
Initial reactions to GWL packs, a blank pack, and smokers' current US pack reflected negative, neutral, and positive affect, respectively. Different versions of the GWL pack elicited different levels and types of immediate negative affect
Effects of a Community-Based Pilot Intervention on Home Food Availability among U.S. Households
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a pilot community-based behavioral intervention on the home food environment in U.S. households. Parents (21 females, 2 males; age = 36 ± 5.5 years; 78% Hispanic) of elementary school-aged children attended a 10-week dietary improvement behavioral intervention targeting an increase in fruit and vegetable consumption and a reduction in sugar intake. Home food availability of fruit, vegetables,…
Strategies to reduce meat consumption
Factors identified in correlational studies were generally found to be useful agents of behavior change in experimental studies. However, several factors have not been tested experimentally. More experimental studies are required to confirm the results of this review; for example, experiments focused on modifications of the food environment such as increasing the number of meatless meals on restaurant menus
Feasibility and Parental Acceptability of an 8-Week, Slow-Speed, High-Intensity, Community-Based Resistance Training Program for Preadolescent Children
High-intensity resistance training (RT) shows promise for improved cardiometabolic health in children. Achieving high-intensity RT safely is a challenge for community-based programs because of parental concerns and group engagement. Twenty preadolescent children completed an 8-week, twice per week program using slow speed to achieve high-intensity RT. Parent and child surveys were conducted to measure acceptability and effectiveness. Child fitnes…

The relative contribution of layers of the Social Ecological Model to childhood obesity
Objective The Social Ecological Model (SEM) has been used to describe the aetiology of childhood obesity and to develop a framework for prevention. The current paper applies the SEM to data collected at multiple levels, representing different layers of the SEM, and examines the unique and relative contribution of each layer to children’s weight status. Design Cross-sectional survey of randomly selected households with children living in low-incom…
