Resident Support for the Federally Mandated Smoke-Free Rule in Public Housing
This study examines support for the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) mandatory smoke-free rule up to four years post-rule among smokers and non-smokers. A repeated cross-sectional design was used where District of Columbia public housing residents aged 18+ ( n = 529) completed surveys during three time points: July 2018 (pre-rule), November 2018-March 2020 (post-rule), and September 2020-December 2022 (post-rule + COVID-19). Fu…
Social epidemiology and time use
Examining disease progression and associated risk and protective factors over time is essential for epidemiology. "Over time" can be understood as discrete events in people's lives that affect their health outcomes, including exposures and behaviors. For social epidemiology, this is of interest because time spent in social situations is required to benefit from those interactions. A wide range of social relationship types has been linked to healt…
Effectiveness of a tool to increase understanding of breast cancer media articles
Objective: Women aged 45 or younger with breast cancer, or those who are at high risk of breast cancer due to a family history of the disease or genetic test results indicating risk, have distinct health risks and needs. Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE), a non-profit advocacy organisation, developed an online resource designed to address these needs. Design: In-person surveys were administered to compare baseline and post-test knowledg…
Implementation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Smoke-Free Rule
In July 2018, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) implemented a mandatory smoke-free rule in public housing. This study assessed administrator and resident perceptions of rule implementation during its initial year in the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA). Assessment included nine focus groups ( n = 69) with residents and in-depth interviews with administrators ( n = 7) and residents ( n = 26) from 14 D…
Exposure to personal and community violence and associated drug use outcomes in African American young adults
ETV served as an independent explanatory factor for specific drug use behaviors at different stages of life. Future research is needed to understand how these factors put respondents at risk for drug use behaviors or make them less likely to engage in dangerous use patterns
Influence of social and neighborhood contexts on smoking cessation among urban minorities
A range of individual, social, and neighborhood factors influence the smoking-related health inequities of urban minorities. Yet little is known about how these factors interact to influence smoking behaviors, including cessation. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to estimate the variance in cessation service utilization among a sample of primarily African American adults accounted for by individual, social, and neighborhood factors. Findings…
Adapting Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy for Health Literacy Interventions
Health literacy skills have been linked with desirable health outcomes. The pedagogical approach of Paulo Freire provides a framework for improving health literacy among underserved communities and for raising consciousness within communities about the social, material, and economic factors that affect health status. This article provides a framework for improving health literacy based on the pedagogy of Freire. The authors provide suggestions fo…
