Role of self-management among virally suppressed and unsuppressed adolescents living with HIV in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Globally, significant progress toward ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic includes advances in HIV treatment, converting a fatal infection to a chronic disease. Adolescents living with HIV (AWHIV) continue to underachievein HIV viral suppression (VS) needed to remain healthy. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the role of self-management and related factors in VS among AWHIV aged 15–19 years in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A total of 658 AWHIV from…
A qualitative examination of cognitive behavioral therapy strategies and health management content to reduce fear of cancer recurrence among breast cancer survivors
Fear of recurrence (FoR) is common among breast cancer survivors (BCS). We sought to understand BCS' cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and health management content (HMC) intervention component experiences, to aid interpretation of previous findings, and inform future research. HMC comprised health-related content, including managing comorbidities and nutritional information. BCS with elevated FoR were randomized to CBT components (vs HMC) over …
Parental socialization of mental health in Chinese American families
Parental mental health socialization is a process by which parents shape how youth develop and maintain beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors regarding mental health and help‐seeking behaviors. Although culture shapes parental mental health socialization, few studies have examined specific parental socialization practices regarding mental health and help‐seeking, especially as a culturally anchored process. Using a qualitative approach, this study ex…
Cancer Survivors’ Disability Experiences and Identities
Eliminating cancer-related disparities is a global public health priority. Approximately 40% of cancer survivors experience long-term effects of cancer which can lead to activity limitations and participation restrictions; yet discussions of disability are largely absent from clinical and research cancer health equity agendas. The purpose of this study was to explore how cancer survivors experience and make sense of the long-term disabling effect…
Establishing severity levels for patient-reported measures of functional communication, participation, and perceived cognitive function for adults with acquired cognitive and language disorders
Standardized, stakeholder-informed severity levels that aid interpretation of PROM scores can help clinicians and researchers derive better clinical meaning from those scores, for example, by identifying important clinical windows of opportunity and assessing when symptoms have returned to a "normal" range
Culturally attuned engagement
Evidence remains limited on culturally competent practices that enhance the engagement of Asian American immigrants in mental health services. This study examines engagement practices by social service providers in community-based organizations, using secondary qualitative data from six provider focus groups (N = 47) and five Chinese, Vietnamese, and Cambodian immigrant client focus groups (N = 36). Thematic analysis revealed that culturally attu…
Recruiting and Retaining People With Disabilities for Qualitative Health Research
There are 56.7 million people with disabilities (PWD) living in the United States; yet, PWD are significantly underrepresented in health research. Even when researchers purposively seek to include PWD in studies, challenges emerge related to recruitment and retention, leading to inadequate representation and surface understandings of this population. This in turn contributes to the perpetuation of implicit and explicit health disparities that are…
Idio Scale Judgment
Creating meaningful cut-scores for Neuro-QOL measures of fatigue, physical functioning, and sleep disturbance using standard setting with patients and providers
ESalud
eHealth is characterized by technology-enabled processes, systems, and applications that expedite accurate, real-time health information, feedback, and skill development to advance patient-centered care. When designed and applied in a culturally competent manner, eHealth tools can be particularly beneficial for traditionally marginalized ethnic minority groups, such as Latinos, a group that has been identified as being at the forefront of emergin…
Development and testing of item response theory-based item banks and short forms for eye, skin and lung problems in sarcoidosis
A conceptual model of health-related quality of life in sarcoidosis
Development and validation of the positive affect and well-being scale for the neurology quality of life (Neuro-QOL) measurement system
Literacy-Fair Measurement of Health-Related Quality of Life Will Facilitate Comparative Effectiveness Research in Spanish-Speaking Cancer Outpatients
BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) assessment is frequently used in comparative effectiveness research, but low-literacy patients are often excluded. Appropriately translated and user-friendly HRQL measures are essential to ensure inclusion of low-literate and non-English-speaking patients in comparative effectiveness research. OBJECTIVES: To compare HRQL responses across literacy levels in Spanish-speaking patients with cancer usi…
