Good Bye to Mr. ABA! A Personal Tribute to Ira E. Harrison
Assessing Capacity of Faith-Based Organizations for Health Promotion Activities
Background. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are important venues for health promotion, particularly in medically underserved communities. These organizations vary considerably in their structural capacities, which may be linked to variability in implementation success for health promotion initiatives. Lacking an existing validated assessment of organizational capacity specific to FBOs, an initial prototype assessment was developed. Method. The F…

Development of the Men's Prostate Awareness Church Training: Church-Based Workshops for African American Men
This article describes the development of a spiritually based intervention to increase informed decision making for prostate cancer screening through African American churches. The intervention used spiritually themed health messages, incorporated women as supportive health partners, and included a health information technology component. The Men's Prostate Awareness Church Training Project followed a community-based participatory research proces…
Ethnographically Informed Community Evaluation: A Framework and Approach for Evaluating Community-Based Initiatives
Introduction: Uses of Applied Ethnography in Community, Health, and Development by Anthropologists with Master’s Level Training
The papers in this issue of Practicing Anthropology are dedicated to the memory of Delmos Jones for the challenge that he presented several years ago to those of us who are involved in the training of anthropologists at the Master's level. He offered this challenge while serving as a discussant on a session at the 1995 meetings of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) that had been organized by a group of anthropologists trained at the M…
Challenges to Masculine Transformation Among Urban Low-Income African American Males
In this article we describe and analyze the challenges faced by an intervention program that addresses the fatherhood needs of low-income urban African American males. We used life history as the primary research strategy for a qualitative evaluation of a program we refer to as the Healthy Men in Healthy Families Program to better understand the circumstances and trajectory of men’s lives, including how involvement in the program might have benef…
Urban Low-Income African American Men, HIV/Aids, and Gender Identity
In a 1993 Human Organization article, Jerome Wright called for more research on African American male sexual behavior and the risk for HIV infection. The present article is a response to that call. Wright pointed out a well-known fact of HIV/AIDS prevention programs: such programs have not been very successful in reaching low-income African American males. The present article suggests that perhaps the key to better understanding sex-related healt…
Urban African American Adolescents and their Parents: Perceptions of Violence within and against their Communities
Over the past decade, within cities throughout the United States, the numbers of homicides continue to rise, and increasing numbers of minority youths are victims of this violence. At the same time, in many of these same cities a third or more of minority children under 18 years old are living below the poverty line. In the following paper, we examine the perceptions of violence and poverty as articulated by African American urban adolescents, th…

The Cultural Broker Concept in Bicultural Education
As Peggy Sanday and her collaborators have suggested in a number of articles, it is the nature and degree of contact with the mainstream culture that best explains ethnic differences in educational testing and other areas of educational achievement.1 For many educators this implies the need for a complete acculturation to mainstream cultural values and behavior-an idea common to the melting pot and cultural deprivation theories. But for black Ame…
Identity, Subjectivity and Cultural Bias in Fieldwork
subjectivity has in turn resulted in cultural biases in the interpretation of field data. In recent years, as a response to this problem, third world anthropologists have called for the development of a native anthropology, in which members from traditional anthropological study populations would begin to study themselves as a means of correcting the ethnographic record. But in today's small, pluralistic and cosmopolitan world, a relevant questio…
