Exposing the Risk: Identifying Perspectives on Skin Cancer Awareness and Prevention Opportunities Among Hispanic Outdoor Workers
Our findings suggest that Hispanic outdoor workers have limited knowledge and low perceived skin cancer risk. This study highlights the need for tailored educational initiatives to address skin cancer prevention for Hispanic outdoor workers
Cervical Cancer Screening Outcomes for Hiv-Positive Women in the Lubombo and Manzini Regions of Eswatini—prevalence and Predictors of a Positive Visual Inspection With Acetic Acid (Via) Screen
This study aimed to describe the prevalence and predictors of a positive VIA (visual inspection with acetic acid) cervical cancer screening test in women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We retrospectively analysed data from women aged ≥15 who accessed VIA screening from health facilities in the Lubombo and Manzini regions of Eswatini. Sociodemographic and clinical data from October 2020 to June 2023 were extracted from the client …
Psychometric Properties of the Medical Mistrust Index (MMI) in Latina Immigrants
Medical mistrust measures have not been validated in Latino immigrants. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Medical Mistrust Index and its association with health care satisfaction in a sample of Latina immigrants. Participants were 168 self-identified Latinas ≥40 years old. Women were recruited from three Latino-serving health clinics and through a Latino radio program. A bilingual interviewer administered the Medical Mistrust…
Trauma-exposed Latina immigrants’ networks: A social network analysis approach
Targeted social network interventions to enhance supportive networks among trauma-exposed Latina immigrants are warranted
Social Isolation and Perceived Barriers to Establishing Social Networks Among Latina Immigrants
Research has identified numerous mechanisms through which perceived social isolation and lack of social support negatively impact health. Little research attention has been dedicated to factors that influence the development of social networks, which have the potential to decrease perceptions of social isolation and provide social support. There is mixed evidence concerning the availability of supportive social networks for Latinos in the US. Thi…
The Archeology of Emotion Concepts: A Lexicographic Analysis of the Concepts Shame and Vergüenza
Changes in dictionary definitions over time reflect the way in which the degree of centrality of the features of the everyday concepts shame and vergüenza has changed, hence presenting different degrees of overlap between the categories at different times. We present a lexicographic analysis of the concepts shame and vergüenza in English and Spanish synchronic and diachronic dictionaries. Our results support Hurtado de Mendoza, Fernández-Dols, Pa…
Culture of peace: An alternative definition and its measurement
Culture of peace is an exciting and important political proposal, but the extent to which it might be a coherent and fruitful concept in the realm of social sciences is arguable. In our view, there are three basic problems for the development of empirical studies on culture of peace. First, the concept takes for granted that culture is static and coherent, but current approaches to culture emphasize that culture is rather changeable and contradic…
