Chinese voluntourist gaze
Voluntourism, a contested form of alternative tourism, has received limited scholarly attention regarding the agency of voluntourists, particularly in non-Western contexts. This study investigates the self-reflections of young Chinese international volunteers through netography and thematic analysis of online narratives. Utilizing Urry's gaze theory as a ‘lens’, it examines how these voluntourists reflect not only on the destinations but also on …
Reconciling national grain security with rural realities
Dynamic cross-lagged effects between healthy lifestyles and multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults in China
Our study demonstrates dynamic cross-lagged effect exists between healthy lifestyles and chronic diseases status in middle-aged and older Chinese. Disease trajectories and lifestyle-disease interplay reveal critical time-sensitive windows for intervention. Early-stage lifestyle promotion could delay progression, whereas later-stage disease management requires system-level strategies addressing urban-rural healthcare disparities and self-efficacy …
Factors influencing HIV testing choices among Chinese undergraduates
Understanding undergraduates' preferences for HIV testing services is the first step in designing future HIV prevention and control policies. Testing location was the most important non-monetary attribute in HIV testing services. Qualified medical institutions could regularly train campus doctors and establish partnerships to address undergraduates' needs and promote their participation in HIV testing
Authenticity of virtual tourism in open-world video games
Factors that influence unproven stem cell intervention seeking behavior
Place-making of “new nostalgic space” in urban development
The construction of nostalgia is no longer predicated upon the existence of original historical environments. • A cyclical place-making process in an interdisciplinary discourse is revealed by a co-creation model. • The assessment of authenticity should go beyond the subject-object dichotomy in a post-modern society. In order to shape a nostalgic atmosphere, recreating traditional built environments has emerged as a new spatial typology in China’…
Provider communication contributes to colorectal cancer screening intention through improving screening outcome expectancies and perceived behavioral control
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening continues to be underutilized in the US despite the availability of multiple effective, guideline-recommended screening options. Provider recommendation has been consistently shown to improve screening completion. Yet, available literature provides little information as to how specific information providers communicate influence patient decision-making about CRC screening. We tested the pathways through which inf…
Parent-reported Barriers and Parental Beliefs Associated with Intentions to Obtain HPV Vaccination for Children in a Primary care Patient Population in Minnesota, USA
An examination of socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in the awareness, knowledge and utilization of three colorectal cancer screening modalities
While colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality rates have been decreasing, disparities by socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity persist. CRC screening rates remain suboptimal among low SES and racial/ethnic minority populations, despite the availability of multiple screening modalities. Understanding awareness, knowledge, and utilization of common screening modalities within different racial/ethnic and SES groups is critical to inform efforts to…
Mapping Maternal Health in the New Media Environment
The new media has almost brought a new era for maternal health, mainly characterized by psychological qualities, healthy and reasonable physical conditions and advanced technology
Perspectives regarding family disclosure of genetic research results in three racial and ethnic minority populations
Testing a Brief Scale Format Self-affirmation Induction for Use in Health Communication Research and Practice
Research on self-affirmation has potential to inform the field’s understanding of health message resistance and acceptance. However, widely used self-affirmation instruments have several disadvantages that can lead to inconsistent success in generating self-affirmation and thus may explain inconsistent self-affirmation effects, or at the very least make their use cumbersome. In a series of three sequential studies, we introduced and tested a brie…
Understanding Diverse Perspectives on Genetic Research Through Focus Group Talk
While genetic research (GR) is fueling discoveries in fields like precision medicine, there is a growing concern that underrepresentation of racial and ethnic populations in GR will limit access to its benefits and subsequently worsen health disparities. This study aimed to understand GR perceptions among members from underrepresented communities by studying discourse and language use in focus group discussions. Nine focus groups were conducted w…
Solid waste collection/transport optimization and vegetation land cover estimation using Geographic Information System (GIS)
Commodification of Chinese heritage villages
Building a global city
Analysis of the impact of the MRT system on accessibility in Singapore using an integrated GIS tool
Developing Web-based Mapping Applications Through Distributed Object Technology
Emerging web-based mapping technologies use the World Wide Web (WWW) and Internet protocols to provide the ability to distribute, access, and visualize geospatial information over the Internet. Many web-based mapping applications have been developed to deliver geospatial information within and across organizations and even to the public at large. A major technological challenge is to achieve interoperability amongst web-based mapping applications…
