Earning the Trust of African American Communities to Increase Representation in Dementia Research
Black/African American populations are underrepresented as participants in dementia research. A major barrier to participation of African American older adults in dementia research is a tendency to distrust research institutions owing to both historical and contemporary racism. Building on the Ford framework, the objective of our study was to examine factors that influence participation in dementia research among African American older adults and…

How Community Trust Was Gained by an NGO in Malawi, Central Africa, to Mitigate the Impact of HIV/Aids
Trust is valuable social capital that is essential for effective partnerships to improve a community’s health. Yet, how to establish trust in culturally diverse communities is elusive for many researchers, practitioners, and agencies. The purpose of this qualitative study was to obtain perspectives of individuals working for a nongovernmental organization (NGO) about gaining community trust in Malawi in order to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS. T…
Socially Disempowered Women as the Key to Addressing Change in Malawi
Malawi women are in the ironic juxtaposition of being socially disempowered while, at the same time, thought to hold the key to shaping an effective community response to the HIV crisis. Based on this juxtaposition, a descriptive, qualitative study was conducted in Malawi and the United States where 26 participants from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) discussed the roles of Malawi women. Interviews we…
Donors
There are power differentials between donors and recipient organizations that can undermine results at the community level. This paper explores perspectives of staff, partners and contacts of a particular non-governmental organization (NGO1) who work in and with Malawians in Central Africa. The data for this qualitative study is derived from 26 semi-structured interviews that were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Atlas.ti, …
Rural Adolescent Health
CONTEXT: Adolescence is a pivotal developmental period for the establishment of positive health and health practices. However, developmentally propelled risk behaviors coinciding with barriers to health services may increase the propensity for untoward health outcomes in adolescence. In addition, the sociocultural context of the rural environment can present challenges to the health of adolescents. Limited data on rural adolescent health, particu…

Understanding and Supporting African Americans' Perspectives of End-of-Life Care Planning and Decision Making
Ethnicity has been found to explain some differences across ethnic groups regarding end-of-life care choices. African Americans appear to be less likely to know about advance directives and to complete them. Five community-based focus groups, consisting of 27 African Americans, were convened to explore their perspectives of end-of-life care planning and decision making. Content analysis revealed six themes: death is not an option, religiosity and…
