Evaluation of a Pilot Program to Increase Mental Health Care Access for Youth—The Interprofessional Child-Centered Integrated Care (ICX2) Model
Integrated care programs like ICX2 can be feasibly implemented through PMHCA programs and may be an efficient intervention to bridge resource gaps
Stress, Depression and Quit Attempt Outcomes among Unmotivated Smokers
Introduction Stress and depressive symptoms have been linked to a reduced likelihood of sustaining smoking cessation. Because stress and depressive symptoms may negatively affect motivation to quit, stress and depression may also be important for whether or not smokers make a quit attempt.Objective To examine the relationship between perceived stress and depressive symptoms and initiating a quit attempt in a smoking cessation induction trial.Meth…
Lessons Learned in Conducting Community Participatory School-Based Health Research on an American Indian Reservation
This information can help researchers understand how to successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities of conducting CBPR-guided research in the context of a small, short-term project, including leadership turnover, multiple Institutional Review Board (IRB)s, and study design approaches amidst schools policy changes. Collectively, understanding the lessons learned through the perspective of CBPR principles may help others conduct meaningf…
Community Readiness Model for Prevention Planning
Relationship of autonomy social support to quitting motivation in diverse smokers
Support from family and friends may promote autonomous reasons to quit among diverse smokers. Research is needed to assess the role of social support in the pre-quitting phases among racial and socio-economically diverse populations
Motivational Interviewing for encouraging quit attempts among unmotivated smokers
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01188018
African American Smokers' Intention to Use Pharmacotherapy for Cessation
African American smokers may be amenable to the use of cessation aids, and specific beliefs may be targets for intervention
Parental Influence on Obesity in Northern Plains American Indian Youth
Little is known regarding American Indian (AI) parental influence on children's diet and physical activity (PA), or if this influence is associated with childhood weight. We compared AI parents' diet, PA, and support for these behaviors with the child's body mass index. Scores for parental support of positive PA and diet were higher among parents of overweight/obese children. Parent PA and nutrition behaviors were in a similar, but not significan…
A comparison of autonomous regulation and negative self-evaluative emotions as predictors of smoking behavior change among college students
This study compared autonomous self-regulation and negative self-evaluative emotions as predictors of smoking behavior change in college student smokers ( N = 303) in a smoking cessation intervention study. Although the two constructs were moderately correlated, latent growth curve modeling revealed that only autonomous regulation, but not negative self-evaluative emotions, was negatively related to the number of days smoked. Results suggest that…
Applying Indigenous Community-Based Participatory Research Principles to Partnership Development in Health Disparities Research
This case study of community and university research partnerships utilizes previously developed principles for conducting research in the context of Native American communities to consider how partners understand and apply the principles in developing community-based participatory research partnerships to reduce health disparities. The 7 partnership projects are coordinated through a National Institutes of Health-funded center and involve a varie…
Use of the Quality of Life Inventory for Measuring Quality of Life Changes in an Inpatient Psychiatric Population
This study measured self-reported quality of life at two time points for 50 diagnostically heterogeneous patients in a state-funded psychiatric hospital and evaluated the Quality of Life Inventory for assessing changes over inpatient treatment. Participants completed the Quality of Life Inventory after admission and before discharge. Improvement occurred in overall scores during participants' hospital stays. Analysis of domains showed improvement…
Cultural identification and smoking among American Indian adults in an urban setting
Our data suggest that, among some groups of urban AIs, recreational smoking is associated with AI cultural identification
Addressing cultural sensitivity in a smoking cessation intervention
There are marked and growing disparities in the health status among different racial/ethnic groups. Most researchers and practitioners agree health interventions that are tailored for specific populations are ethically important and more likely to succeed, yet there are few models for how to tailor interventions. This article outlines three phases and eight activities conducted to increase the cultural sensitivity of a clinical trial assessing th…
Addressing cultural sensitivity in a smoking cessation intervention
Replication of a Community-Based Multicomponent Teen Pregnancy Prevention Model
Health education curricula and the delivery of specific health services have been evaluated as to their replicability in other settings. Formal studies to evaluate replication of multicomponent community-based program models are scarce. Moreover, the literature does not address the challenges in implementing complex program models and documenting replication. This article describes an initiative to transport and replicate the School/Community Sex…
Replicating a Community Initiative for Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy
This article describes a replication of the School Community Sexual Risk Reduction Model for adolescent pregnancy prevention in several Kansas communities. The model was implemented initially in two communities in South Carolina. First, we describe the School Community Model—its history, major program components, evaluation results, and the conceptual framework for the Kansas replication. Second, we describe the School Community Sexual Risk Reduc…
Using empowerment theory in collaborative partnerships for community health and development
Models of community empowerment help us understand the process of gaining influence over conditions that matter to people who share neighborhoods, workplaces, experiences, or concerns. Such frameworks can help improve collaborative partnerships for community health and development. First, we outline an interactive model of community empowerment that describes reciprocal influences between personal or group factors and environmental factors in an …
