Epidemiology and risk factors for ovarian cancer incidence in the USA: A multilevel analysis
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) has the worst prognosis and highest death rate of all gynaecological cancers in the USA. We examined the independent effects of individual-, neighbourhood-, and state-level factors on ovarian cancer incidence using a multilevel analytical framework. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed de-identified data from the All of Us research database, identifying women ≥18 years without prior ovarian canc…

Control and Constraint for Low-Income Women Choosing Outpatient Sterilization
Little is known about Hispanics and their contraceptive choices in general, with some past studies detailing nonconsensual sterilization. This article is based on interviews with a mostly Hispanic sample of 44 women being sterilized at a public clinic in southeast Texas with the Essure device, which entails a new outpatient sterilization procedure. The women cited relationship factors, wanting to better their and their children's lives, and past …

Hispanic Women's Health Care Provider Control Expectations: The Influence of Fatalism and Acculturation
In order to understand how culture influences Hispanic women's views about their health care provider (HCP), we examined the relationship between acculturation and fatalism in the HCP control expectations of Hispanic women. (A HCP control expectation is the extent to which an individual believes that her HCP has control over her health.) We predicted that acculturation would be negatively associated with HCP control expectations, and fatalism wou…
Multilevel Predictors of Inconsistent Condom Use Among Adolescent Mothers
Objectives. We used Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to identify factors that predicted never or sometimes using condoms in a multiethnic cohort of adolescent mothers. Methods. We interviewed adolescent mothers within 48 hours of delivery and surveyed them 6 and 12 months after delivery (n = 636). We used multinomial logistic regression to identify individual-, dyad-, family-, and peer and community-level factors associated with never o…
Beyond the Campus: Unacknowledged Rape Among Low-Income Women
Studies of college rape victims have found that many are unacknowledged; that is, they do not label their experience rape. The current study investigated factors associated with unacknowledged rape among low-income women. Out of a sample of 1,033 women, 167 reported having experienced rape. Unacknowledged victims, relative to acknowledged victims, reported less violent assaults and more alcohol use before the assault and were more likely to have …
