Exploring the Use of Photo-Stories and Fiction Writing to Address HIV Stigma Among Health Professions Students
HIV/AIDS stigma exists in healthcare and is harmful to people living with HIV (PLWH). Few anti-stigma interventions target undergraduate health professions students, although evidence supports reaching providers early in their training. We developed two different arts-based interventions based on Intergroup Contact Theory: a Photovoice intervention in which they viewed photo-stories of PLWH and a fiction writing intervention in which they develop…
Systematic procedures to promote U.S. HIV medication adherence via Photovoice
Medication adherence is essential to promote the health of people living with HIV (PL-HIV) and prevent HIV transmission in the U.S. Novel medication health promotion interventions are needed that address patient-centeredness, understandability, and communication with providers. The aims of this article are to define the systematic stages we used to develop an effective health promotion intervention via the products (e.g. images and stories) of Ph…

Osteoarthritis and Social Embarrassment
Musculoskeletal pain from osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent concern for older adults. Despite recommendations from providers to be physically active, some people with OA fear physical activity and must decide whether it is safe or harmful to undertake physical activity. In this article, we examined the narratives of 10 people living with OA knee pain and the roles that pain and embarrassment played in their activity-related behavior. When asked …
Chemotherapy Was Not Associated With Cognitive Decline in Older Adults With Breast and Colorectal Cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study tested 2 hypotheses: (1) chemotherapy increases the rate of cognitive decline in breast and colorectal cancer patients beyond what is typical of normal aging and (2) chemotherapy results in systematic cognitive declines when compared with breast and colorectal cancer patients who did not receive chemotherapy. SUBJECTS: Data came from personal interviews with a prospective cohort of patients with breast (n=141) or colorectal…
Preference reversals in evaluations of cash versus non-cash incentives
Comparing holistic and disaggregated ratings in the evaluation of scientific presentations
The National Institutes of Health refused to switch to disaggregated ratings as a method for evaluating proposals, because no contest between disaggregated and holistic ratings had ever used scientific materials as the to‐be‐rated stimuli. We designed two studies to fill this research void. Participants rated scientific convention presentations either using a holistic procedure in which one overall rating was given or a disaggregated procedure in…
Positive behaviors during marital conflict
To examine the independent and interactive contribution of positive and negative behaviors during marital conflict to changes in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol, behavioral and endocrine data were collected from 90 newlywed couples during a 30-minute conflict task. Positive and negative behaviors were coded by the Marital Interaction Coding System. High levels of husbands' positive behavior and high couple negativity were related …
