PreveCan, an app for cancer prevention based on the 2018 WCRF/Aicr guidelines: Development and usability
To develop and asses the usability of a Spanish-language mobile application (PreveCan) to educate the public about the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) recommendations for cancer prevention. The app was developed using a user-centred design approach involving epidemiology, medical, nutrition and software design experts and public. PreveCan educates users on WCRF/AICR recommendations rating their …
Multiple Dimensions of Machismo: Linguistic Considerations for Latino Sexual Minority Men in the United States
The literature differentiates between two domains of machismo: traditional machismo and caballerismo. Research has largely focused on measuring machismo among English speakers. We evaluated whether Estrada's (2011) 2-factor model of machismo was invariant across languages (English versus a direct Spanish translation). A series of multigroup confirmatory factor analyses were conducted between respondents who completed the survey in English ( n = 4…
Colorblind Attitudes, Empathy, and Shame: Preparing White Students for Anti-Racist Social Work Practice
This study examined the relationships between racial knowledge and emotions as predictors of anti-racist behaviors. We analyzed responses of 135 White MSW students from a cross-sectional survey conducted in May 2018. Regression was used to analyze the relationships between colorblind attitudes, empathy, guilt, shame, and anti-racist behaviors. Results indicated that colorblind attitudes and White shame, after controlling for other factors, were c…
What I Would Do to Take Away Your Pain: A Photovoice Project Conducted by Mothers of Children With Medical Complexity
Research identifies that families of children with medical complexities in the United States have diverse and complex needs. Despite research emphasizing that families demonstrate higher needs that are not being met, limited research focuses solely on mothers of children with medical complexities. Specifically, how mothers understand and identify themselves, understand and define their role in coordinating care, and how they view their own mental…
Racism, Colorblindness, and Social Work Education: An Exploratory Study of California MSW Student Beliefs and Experiences
Objective: This study provides a nuanced understanding of social work students’ beliefs, emotions, and experiences around race and racism, which is needed to inform the development of antiracist pedagogies. Method: We administered an online surveyed to 532 California MSW students. All students completed a colorblindness scale; students of color completed scales on discrimination and stereotype threat, and white students completed scales on emotio…
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer + Latinx youth mental health disparities: A systematic review
Colorectal cancer mortality and industrial pollution in Spain
Given the exploratory nature of this study, it would seem advisable to check in other countries or with other designs, if the proximity of industries that emit pollutants into the air could be an added risk factor for colorectal cancer mortality. Nevertheless, some of the differences between men and women observed in the analyses of the industrial groups suggest that there may be a component of occupational exposure, little-studied in the case of…
Study of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma mortality associated with industrial pollution in Spain, using Poisson models
The reported association between exposure to air pollution from the paper, pulp and board industry and NHL mortality is independent of the model used. Inclusion of spatial random effects terms in the risk estimate improves the study of associations between environmental exposures and mortality.The EPER could be of great utility when studying the effects of industrial pollution on the health of the population
Lung cancer mortality in towns near paper, pulp and board industries in Spain: A point source pollution study
The study of cancer mortality in areas surrounding pollutant foci is a useful tool for environmental surveillance, and serves to highlight areas of interest susceptible to being investigated by ad hoc studies. Despite present limitations, recognition is therefore due to the advance represented by publication of the EPER and the study of pollutant foci
Description of industrial pollution in Spain
A few single industrial plants are responsible for the highest percentage of emissions, thus rendering monitoring of their possible health impact on the surrounding population that much simpler. Among European countries Spain is the leading polluter in almost one third of all EPER-registered pollutant substances released into the air and ranks among the top three leading polluters in two-thirds of all such substances. Information obtained through…
Modelling of municipal mortality due to haematological neoplasias in Spain
Objectives: To study the geographical pattern of mortality caused by haematological tumours in Spain at the municipal level using three Bayesian models and to compare their goodness of fit. Methods: The fitted Bayesian hierarchical models were: (1) the Besag York and Molliè (BYM) model; (2) a model based on zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) distribution, which allowed a large number of event-free areas; and (3) a mixture of distributions that enabled d…
