Capacity to address determinants of health among a social justice coalition in the United States
This study describes the Arkansas Social Justice Coalition and early pre-post changes in the capacity of participating community-based organizations to address social and structural determinants of health during the formative stage of this coalition. We utilized population-level data to understand the coalition’s reach to counties experiencing health inequities. Community-based organizations (N = 29) involved in this coalition all served rural co…
What is Social Justice? An Important Approach to Public Health Research, Practice, and Health Care Solutions
Translating Health Equity Research Findings Into Meaningful Community- and Systems-Level Change, Little Rock, Arkansas, 2022–2023
We identified strategies needed to translate research findings into systems-level change. In Little Rock, Arkansas, in 2022 and 2023, academic and community partners provided statements completing a prompt that related to strategies for translating research into practice to eliminate health disparities. Participants sorted the statements by theme and rated the statements on importance and feasibility. We identified six themes, and community engag…
Using Concept Mapping to Identify Community Partners’ and Researchers’ Perceptions of Social Justice
Background: A social justice framework can be used to inform healthy equity-focused research, and operationalizing social justice can inform strategic planning for research and practice models. This study aimed to develop a working definition of social justice based on input from a diverse group of collaborators to better inform the work conducted within the Center for Research, Health, and Social Justice. Methods: A concept mapping study was con…
Changes in Capacity Building and Sustained Implementation Among a Statewide Coalition to Address Racial/Ethnic Covid-19 Disparities
This article describes Arkansas Community Engagement Alliance Against COVID-19 Disparities (CEAL) Coalition initiatives and changes in measures of organizational capacity and sustainability via two waves of surveys. The Arkansas CEAL Coalition used several initiatives to address racial/ethnic COVID-19 disparities by building the capacity of community-based organizations and businesses to increase COVID-19 protective behaviors among their clients.…
Strategies to Facilitate Equitable Resource Sharing in Community-Engaged Research
We call for institutional changes to facilitate equitable resource sharing in community-engaged research
Adaptation and Psychometric Testing of Multiple Measures of Religion Among African Americans Who Use Cocaine
This study tests the psychometric properties and demographic variation of three culturally adapted versions of widely used religion scales-the Brief RCOPE, the Religious Support Scale, and items from the Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousness and Spirituality-in a community sample of cocaine-using African Americans. The unadapted measures have been previously validated but not in an African American cocaine-using population, which is a gap…
Religiosity and Sexual Risk Behaviors Among African American Cocaine Users in the Rural South
PURPOSE: Racial and geographic disparities in human immunodeficency virus (HIV) are dramatic and drug use is a significant contributor to HIV risk. Within the rural South, African Americans who use drugs are at extremely high risk. Due to the importance of religion within African American and rural Southern communities, it can be a key element of culturally-targeted health promotion with these populations. Studies have examined religion's relatio…
Combining Psychosocial Data to Improve Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Events
Background There is overlap among psychosocial predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The usefulness of combining psychosocial variables as risk markers for CVD needs investigation. Methods Participants were 493 women in the NHLBI WISE study. Multivariate combination of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Social Network Index (SNI), and Cook-Medley hostility subscales was evaluated, and principal components…
A Randomized Trial of a Community-Based Cognitive Intervention for Obese Senior Adults
Cognitive interventions can be effectively delivered in the community by LHEs
Self-Rated Versus Objective Health Indicators as Predictors of Major Cardiovascular Events
OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between self-rated health and major cardiovascular events in a sample of women with suspected myocardial ischemia. Previous studies showed that self-rated health is a predictor of objective health outcomes, such as mortality. METHOD: At baseline, 900 women rated their health on a 5-point scale ranging from poor to excellent as part of a protocol that included quantitative coronary angiography, cardiovascula…
Social Networks and Incident Stroke Among Women With Suspected Myocardial Ischemia
OBJECTIVE: To describe the prospective relationship between social networks and nonfatal stroke events in a sample of women with suspected myocardial ischemia. Social networks are an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, but their relationship with stroke events in at-risk populations is largely unknown. METHOD: A total of 629 women (mean age = 59.6 +/- 11.6 years) were evaluated at baseline for cardiovascular disease r…
Training Community Health Workers to Reduce Health Disparities in Alabamaʼs Black Belt
African American women have significantly higher mortality rates from heart disease and stroke than White women despite advances in treatment and the management of risk factors. Community health workers (CHWs) serve important roles in culturally relevant programs to prevent disease and promote health. This article describes the Pine Apple Heart and Stroke Project's activities to (1) revise the Women's Wellness Sourcebook Module III: Heart and Str…
Depression and Late Mortality After Myocardial Infarction in the Enhancing Recovery in Coronary Heart Disease (ENRICHD) Study
OBJECTIVE: The Enhancing Recovery in Coronary Heart Disease study was a multicenter clinical trial in which patients with depression and/or low perceived social support after an acute myocardial infarction were randomly assigned to an intervention consisting of cognitive behavior therapy and, in some cases, sertraline, or to usual care. There was no difference in survival between the groups. A possible reason why the intervention failed to affect…
Social Networks Are Associated With Lower Mortality Rates Among Women With Suspected Coronary Disease
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between social relationships measured by the Social Network Scale and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk and mortality among a sample of women with suspected CAD. METHODS: Five hundred three women (mean age, 59 years) with suspected CAD warranting clinical investigation completed a diagnostic protocol including psychosocial testing, CAD risk factor assessment, and quantitative coronary angiography. Patients w…
Physical Activity Patterns Among Women in Rural Alabama
Ethnic differences in factors associated with higher activity levels need to be considered in physical activity interventions

Psychosocial Variables Are Associated With Atherosclerosis Risk Factors Among Women With Chest Pain
OBJECTIVE: We investigated associations between atherosclerosis risk factors (smoking behavior, serum cholesterol, hypertension, body mass index, and functional capacity) and psychological characteristics with suspected linkages to coronary disease (depression, hostility, and anger expression) in an exclusively female cohort. METHODS: Six hundred eighty-eight middle-aged women with chest pain warranting clinical investigation completed a comprehe…
