Exploring Sources of Information and Religious Beliefs in Regard to HPV and Vaccination Among Hispanic/Latino College Students in the USA
Breast Cancer Knowledge and Mammography Use Among Asian American Women Aged 40 and Older: Using the Transtheoretical Model Approach
Sources of Information and Communication About HPV Among Chinese Students Attending U.S. Colleges: Implications for Culturally Appropriate Strategies
INTRODUCTION: Little is known about human papillomavirus (HPV) information sources and communication among Chinese students attending U.S. colleges. We assessed information sources and communication about HPV and HPV vaccines among this population. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional design with 449 participants was conducted by using a questionnaire and snowball sampling. Summary statistics and multiple logistic regression were used. RESULTS: The mos…
The interrelationship between water access, exclusive breastfeeding and diarrhea in children: A cross-sectional assessment across 19 African countries
BACKGROUND: Access to an improved water supply and practicing exclusive breastfeeding are essential for improving maternal and child health outcomes. However, few studies have been equipped to assess the interdependencies between access to improved water, practicing exclusive breastfeeding, and child health. The primary aim of our study was to assess whether access to an improved water supply and water-fetching were associated with mothers' pract…
Scope-of-practice laws and expanded health services: The case of underserved women and advanced cervical cancer diagnoses
BACKGROUND: Underserved women (rural, minority or poor) are disproportionally diagnosed with late-stage cervical cancer, indicative of inadequate access to, and use of, preventative healthcare. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has proposed that nurse practitioners (NP) can address provider shortages among underserved populations, but to reduce shortages, scope-of-practice laws that restrict the delivery of care, must be revised. We examined the IO…
The influence of tourism-based provisioning on fish behavior and benthic composition
Assessing perceived benefits/barriers and self-efficacy for cervical cancer screening among Korean American women
A large proportion of Korean American women (KAW) do not receive regular cervical cancer screening. Self-report data from 102 KAW were analyzed by multiple linear regressions. As compared to women in action/maintenance, women in precontemplation/relapse stages were less likely to agree that a Pap test is important for health and were more likely to endorse barriers to testing (cost, not having a female doctor, preference for Korean medicine). Wom…
Application of the Transtheoretical Model to Cervical Cancer Screening in Latina Women
A Comparison of HIV Knowledge, Attitudes, and Sources of STI Information Between Female and Male College Students in Taiwan
Taiwan withdrew from the United Nations in 1971, which led to missed opportunities for participating in global HIV/AIDS programs and made Taiwan more vulnerable to HIV. Employing a questionnaire of 996 college students in Taiwan, the authors assessed and compared female and male HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, and sources of HIV/sexually transmitted infections (STI) information. Students reported moderate knowledge and attitudes. Females h…
HIV/Aids Knowledge and Attitudes Among Chinese College Students in the US
Sexual behavior, stages of condom use, and self-efficacy among college students in Taiwan
The purposes of this study were: (1) to assess sexual behaviors and condom use behaviors; (2) to compare sexual behaviors and condom use behaviors between gender groups; and (3) to explore differences in specific items of self-efficacy to practicing condom use by the transtheoretical model stages of readiness to change among college students in Taiwan. A survey of students at two universities yielded 996 valid responses. The survey questions coll…
Papanicolaou Screening in Taiwan: Perceived Barriers and Self-Efficacy
Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death in Taiwan, and frequency of screening remains low. We surveyed Taiwanese women about beliefs and practices related to cervical screening, searching for perceived barriers and self-efficacy using the transtheoretical model. We assessed demographics, 12 perceived barriers, and seven self-efficacy measures for 222 Taiwanese women. Data were analyzed descriptively and with multiple linear regression. B…
Assessing Transcultural Validity of the Transtheoretical Model With Chinese Americans and Physical Activity
Transtheoretical model has shown promise in promoting adoption and maintenance of physical activity and was used to guide this study. A cross-sectional design with snowball sampling was applied to recruit 201 Chinese Americans. Self-efficacy scores were significantly higher for participants in maintenance than those in precontemplation. There were no significant differences in perceived benefits and barriers in different stages. The transtheoreti…
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Related to HIV and Aids among Female College Students in Taiwan
Our purpose was to assess the knowledge and attitudes, source of HIV and AIDS information, and behaviors related to HIV and AIDS among female college students in Taiwan and to explore the factors associated with knowledge and attitudes of HIV and AIDS among female college students in Taiwan. We employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. Using a mail survey, the investigators collected data from a convenience sample of 99 female undergraduate …
