Attitudes Toward Genetics and Genetic Testing Among Participants in the Jackson and Framingham Heart Studies
Genetic analysis has become integral to many large cohort studies. However, little is known about longitudinal cohort study participants' attitudes toward genetics and genetic testing. We analyzed data from a survey of participants in the Jackson Heart Study ( n = 960), Framingham Heart Study ( n = 955), and Framingham Heart Study-Omni Cohort ( n = 160). Based on a three-question attitude scale, most participants had positive attitudes toward gen…
Assessing Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS)
Intended use of informal long‐term care: The role of race and ethnicity
Psychosocial factors, particularly social norms concerning family caregiving, mediated the relationship between race/ethnicity and intended use of informal long-term care. A fuller appreciation of the multiple influences on healthcare decision making of older adults has the potential to inform policy efforts to appropriately meet the respective long-term care needs of an ethnically diverse frail older population
Expanding the Andersen Model: The Role of Psychosocial Factors in Long‐Term Care Use
Objective. To examine a prevailing conceptual model of health services use ( Andersen 1995 ) and to suggest modifications that may enhance its explanatory power when applied to empirical studies of race/ethnicity and long‐term care. Study Setting. Twelve focus groups of African‐American (five groups) and white (seven groups) individuals, aged 65 and older, residing in Connecticut during 2000. Study Design. Using qualitative analysis, data were co…
Help-seeking Behaviors of Blacks and Whites Dying from Coronary Heart Disease
In an area where blacks and whites were similar with respect to socioeconomic status and access to care, race did not affect the likelihood of help seeking or the likelihood of succeeding in reaching the hospital before death
Patient assertiveness in ethnically diverse older women with breast cancer: Challenging stereotypes of the elderly
Do blacks and whites differ in their use of health care for symptoms of coronary heart disease
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to identify the role of race in seeking and receipt of care for symptoms of coronary heart disease. METHODS. Data on medical care, sociodemographic characteristics, symptoms, risk factors, income, and insurance were collected in a telephone interview for a random sample of 2030 Black and White adults in inner-city Boston. Rates of care-seeking for symptoms, amounts of delay in seeking care, and rates of r…
Does the promotion and distribution of condoms increase teen sexual activity? Evidence from an HIV prevention program for Latino youth
OBJECTIVES. Opponents of condom availability programs argue that the promotion and distribution of condoms increases adolescent sexual activity. This assertion was tested empirically with data from the evaluation of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention program for Latino adolescents. METHODS. The onset of sexual activity, changes in the frequency of sex, and changes in the proportion of respondents with multiple partners were compared …
HIV risk among Latino adolescents in two New England cities
OBJECTIVES. Latino adolescents in two urban New England areas were surveyed to assess risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. METHODS. Probability of HIV infection during the previous 6 months was estimated from self-reported sexual contacts, condom usage rates, and number of partners. Teens were also asked to show condoms in their possession to the interviewer to validate self-reports of condom use. RESULTS. Overall, 8% of the 5…
Smoking Behavior of Puerto Rican Women: Evidence from Caretakers of Adolescents in Two Urban Areas
This study examines cigarette smokingpatterns amongPuertoRican women responsible for caring for adolescents in two metropolitan areas in the Northeastern United States. The age-adjusted prevalence of cigarette smoking in the caretaker sample was higher than the rates for all adult women in the 1985 National Health Interview Survey and the 1986 Adult Use of Tobacco Survey. Smoking prevalence among the caretakers was very similar to the rate report…
Factors Affecting Cigarette Smoking and Intention to Smoke Among Puerto Rican-American High School Students
Using data from a survey of Puerto Rican adolescents in Boston and Hartford, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted of factors affecting recent cigarette smoking status and intentions to smoke in the next 5 years. Among Puerto Rican-American high school students between the ages of 14 and 20 years, nearly 12% of the males and 10% of the females had smoked at least one cigarette during the month prior to in-home interviews. Two factors -the prop…
Sociocultural factors associated with smoking behavior by Puerto Rican adolescents in Boston
School Health
School health is an area which brings together the tripartate concerns of medical educational and applied anthropology. Anthropologists from the University of Connecticut have been involved since 1976 in a variety of activities and settings of health education and services for school aged children in the Hartford area. The following is a brief description of some of these projects
