  • A Community Based Environmental Health Education Project

    Dennis A FrateARTICLEPracticing Anthropology2003

    A long-term partnership between an applied researcher and a particular community can result in numerous positive outcomes. One such result is that after years of continual working in one particular area, a mutual trust develops between the community (residents and organizations) and the investigator. In my case, I have been involved with one particular community for over 30 years; the concept of community operative here is quite broad referring t…

  • Commentary Anthropologic Methods, Not Legislation, Should Be Used to Modify Risky ATV Use

    Emily Dix, George V Russell et al.ARTICLEPracticing Anthropology2003

    Introduced in 1971 for use in outdoor occupations such as farming and construction, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are motorized three- or four-wheeled cycles designed for riding in off-road areas. Despite their occupational intent, ATVs have become extremely popular in the United States as a recreational vehicle for both children and adults alike, with approximately 2.4 million ATVs currently in use (Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention, 2000)…

  • A Community-Based Case Management Model for Hypertension and Diabetes

    Dennis A Frate, Monroe Ginn et al.ARTICLEPracticing Anthropology2000

    The concept of practicing anthropology is ideally very specific, involving the use of anthropological methods outside of the teaching environment. In reality, however, the practice of anthropology can take place in a wide range of settings including the academic environment. As a medical anthropologist, Dennis Frate has been employed as a full-time health researcher for 24 years. While he was doing this research, he taught five years in a medical…

  • Adapting Relaxation Techniques to Rural Populations: Implications for High Blood Pressure Therapy

    Open AccessJohn H Storer, Dennis A Frate et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health1989

    Clinical studies have indicated that inducing the relaxation response through behavior modification can likely lower the blood pressures of hypertensives. However, many of the relaxation techniques commonly used are unsuitable for use in undereducated, isolated, poor, rural, or elderly populations. More suitable techniques were developed for use with these populations in central Mississippi. These simplified techniques were pilot tested on a samp…

  • Extended Families and the Control of Hypertension in Central Mississippi

    Open AccessAdolph M Greenberg, Dennis A Frate et al.ARTICLECentral Issues in Anthropology1985References: 4

    In order to evaluate the beneficial support functions of multigenerational extended families, a research and demonstration effort was developed to focus on the management of a chronic disease, hypertension. Conducted in central Mississippi, high blood pressure management self‐help groups were established in 4 white and 9 black extended families. An influential member of each family was trained to monitor the blood pressures of all family hyperten…

  • Decision Rules for Hypertension Screening: Application in a Poor Community with Endemic Hypertension

    Richard C Roistacher, Judith S Liebman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1977

    Data from a hypertension screening project involving 4,272 black residents of a rural southern community were analyzed to determine the effects of a set of admission-decision rules on the case load of a proposed hypertension clinic. Four decision rules were investigated: conjunctive (diastolic high or systolic high); disjunctive (diastolic and/or systolic high); additive (sum of diastolic and systolic high); and systolic only. Most information re…

  • Geophagy in a Mississippi County∗

    Donald E Vermeer, Dennis A FrateARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…1975Cited by: 9References: 9

    Geophagy (earth eating) is practiced by black women and black children of both sexes, but by few or none of the adult black males in Holmes County, Mississippi. Geophagy does not stem from physiological disorder nor appetite aberration. It appears to be a custom brought by slaves from the Old World. Edible clays are obtained from the B soil horizon. Average daily consumption approximates fifty grams. Some young adult females substitute commercial…
