Health disparities in mortality among individuals with HIV-associated dementia in South Carolina
HIV disproportionately affects the South compared to other regions of the US. Some people living with HIV (PLWH) may acquire HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), of which HIV-associated dementia (HAD) is the most severe form. This study aimed to examine the disparities in mortality among individuals with HAD. Data were obtained from the South Carolina Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Registry from 2010 to 2016 (HAD: n = 505; N…
A qualitative study of health care access among African American older adults in a socio-demographically under-resourced region during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: In the U.S., health inequities experienced by the African American community, specifically among those ages 65 and older, have been well-documented in research literature. Alongside the findings regarding disparities in disease prevalence and management, researchers have also highlighted disparities in health care access. Despite recent evidence of health inequities experienced by African Americans during the COVID pandemic, there is …
Fostering Distance Education: Lessons From a United States-England Partnered Collaborative Online International Learning Approach
Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a teaching and learning approach whereby entire courses or modules are co-developed and team taught by instructors from different institutions for students of both institutions. Since 2006, the approach has been gaining in mass appeal; however, considering our present-day global coronavirus pandemic, COILs have a renewed relevance in academia. Faculty from the University of South Carolina (Uni…
Genetic Risk Factors for Alzheimer's Disease in Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations in the U.S: A Scoping Review
Objectives: As the United States (U.S.) population rapidly ages, the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRDs) is rising, with racial/ethnic minorities affected at disproportionate rates. Much research has been undertaken to test, sequence, and analyze genetic risk factors for ADRDs in Caucasian populations, but comparatively little has been done with racial/ethnic minority populations. We conducted a scoping review to examin…
Responding to the Call: Building a Training Program to Diversify the Academy in Alzheimer's Disease Research
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at the forefront of the United States (US) public health agenda due to their tremendous human and financial burden. Further, disproportionately high ADRD rates among racial/ethnic minorities require incorporating the unique perspectives of racially and ethnically diverse scientists, which will necessitate diversifying the scientific workforce that investigates disparities in aging. The purpose …
Mentorship and Training to Increase Diversity of Researchers and Practitioners in the Field of Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Scoping Review of Program Characteristics
Objectives: Diversity is needed within the aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) research and practice workforce to comprehensively address health inequities faced by underrepresented minority (URM) older adults. We conducted a scoping review of training programs designed to diversify the pool of researchers and practitioners in the field of aging and ADRD. Methods: Online database searches yielded 3976 articles published fro…
Community-Engaged Use of Cultural Narratives to Create HIV Prevention Stories for African American Women
Authentic stories harvested and produced from and for a culture-specific population is a critical consideration for narrative health promotion
Understanding the Social Environmental Influences on Pregnancy and Planning for Pregnancy for Young Women in Harare, Zimbabwe
Black US college women’s strategies of sexual self-protection
While previous scholarship on the sexual practices of college students in the USA has explored how the co-constitution of whiteness, economic privilege and gender inequality are central to 'hooking up', less attention has been paid to how the sexual culture of predominantly white universities shape Black college women's sexual practices. In this article, we use an intersectional theoretical framework informed by Black feminism to analyse intervie…
Understanding Conceptualizations of Pregnancy and Planning for Pregnancy Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Harare, Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has one of the highest rates of maternal mortality, yet little is understood about adolescent girls' and young women's perspectives on pregnancy or planning for pregnancy. The research study took an emic approach to understand and describe how adolescent girls and young women (14-24 years) in Harare, Zimbabwe, conceptualize pregnancy and planning for pregnancy and how these conceptualizations inform pregnancy decisions. Semi-structured, …
Different Dimensions: Internalized Homonegativity Among African American Men Who Have Sex With Men in the Deep South
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Internalized Homonegativity Inventory (IHNI) among African American men who have sex with men (AAMSM) in the southeastern United States. Data from 261 AAMSM were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. Results showed evidence of a two-factor solution: personal and moral homonegativity and gay affirmation. Internal consistencies were greater than .80, and correlations with other variables …
Individual and structural environmental influences on utilization of iron and folic acid supplementation among pregnant women in Harare, Zimbabwe
Micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent among Zimbabweans with serious health and social implications. Due to a lack of a national micronutrient food fortification policy, the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Care established a policy for the prevention of maternal micronutrient deficiencies, which centres on pregnant women receiving daily iron and folic acid (IFA) at their first antenatal care visit and throughout pregnancy. Despite these …
