Healthcare Coordination and Transition for Individuals with Genetic Conditions
The influence of motivational messages on future planning behaviors among HIV concordant positive and discordant couples in Lusaka, Zambia
In Zambia the HIV/AIDS epidemic has resulted in many single female-headed households. Strong patriarchal laws and customs prevent widows and children from maintaining economic assets. This study examines the impact of a video-based motivational intervention promoting future planning in 1,504 HIV-infected couples in Lusaka, Zambia. Following a group video session, couples randomized to the motivational arm could choose to write a will, identify a …
Implementation of Culturally and Linguistically Competent Policies by State Title V Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Programs
Promotion of couples' voluntary counselling and testing for HIV through influential networks in two African capital cities
Predictors of successful CVCT promotion included strategies that can be easily implemented in Africa. As new resources become available for Africans with HIV, CVCT should be broadly implemented as a point of entry for prevention, care and support

Self-Efficacy as a Predictor of Adult Adjustment to Sickle Cell Disease: One-Year Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: The present study prospectively investigated the role of self-efficacy in predicting disease symptomatology and health services utilization for adult patients with sickle cell disease. METHODS: These data are derived from a 12-month prospective cohort study of African American adults with sickle cell disease. Disease-specific perceptions of coping self-efficacy and indices of disease severity, health care utilization, and psychosocial …
Socioeconomic Distress and Health Status: The Urban‐rural Dichotomy of Services Utilization for People With Sickle Cell Disorder in North Carolina
Research on sickle cell disorder has not focused attention on the socioeconomic background and geographic distribution of people with the disease. This study examines 1,189 persons with sickle cell disorder in North Carolina during 1991 to 1995. Three indices were developed using clients' medical, psychosocial and socioeconomic characteristics for the purpose of analyzing the urban‐rural difference in treatment for sickle cell disease. The study …
Bridging Science and Practice: The Integrated Model of Community-Based Evaluation (IMCBE)
A trend in community-based evaluation studies is to include everyone affected by the work, the community, administrators and participants, in their design and implementation. This concept has been accepted by communities and community evaluators, but a concern persists that the scientific integrity, reliability, and validity of these studies are compromised. To address these concerns we present both the multi-conceptual and hands-on practical asp…
African American Adolescents with Sickle Cell Disease: Support Groups and Psychological Well-Being
There has been little systematic study of the impact of support groups on the psychological well-being (PWB) of adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). Questionnaires, administered by group leaders of 12 SCD support groups, were completed and returned from 79 (80%) of the 99 African American adolescent SCD support group members recruited into this study. Multiple regression analysis revealed that PWB was best predicted by fewer physical sympt…
