Quem Semeia Cocriação de Personas Ligadas ao VIH e Sida Colhe Literacia em Saúde
A problemática do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) e síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA) está geralmente confinada a uma perspetiva biomédica. São poucos os casos de investigação sobre a participação das entidades com peso na intervenção comunitária, como as associações de cariz comunitário que apoiam pessoas que vivem com VIH e SIDA. O estudo apresentado foca-se no projeto português VIHVER, que investiu na criação de parcerias en…
Determinants of US University Students’ Willingness to Include Whole Grain Pasta in Their Diet
College students' lifestyle and eating habits strongly affect their health. Among many healthy eating behaviors, including whole grain food in the diet is known as providing health benefits such as maintaining a steady blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and since it is rich in fiber and minerals, it is essential for the well-being. However, consumers' intakes of whole grain products remain below recommendation, including college students. This study…
Mostly Rich White Men, Nothing in Common
The idea of U.S. democracy rests on the assumption that all citizens will see their issues and needs reflected in elected officials. Yet, historically this has not been the case, as racialized minorities have been excluded and systematically marginalized from the representative process. Today, nonwhite populations remain significantly underrepresented in federal and state governments. Although scholars have examined the effects and mechanics of e…
The Long-Term Effects of Early Life Stress on the Modulation of miR-19 Levels
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), one of the major small non-coding RNA classes, have been proposed as regulatory molecules in neurodevelopment and stress response. Although alterations in miRNAs profiles have been implicated in several psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, the contribution of individual miRNAs in brain development and function is still unknown. Recent studies have identified miR-19 as a key regulator of brain trajectories, since it dr…
Are Opportunities Being Missed? Burden of HIV, STI and TB, and Unawareness of HIV among African Migrants
Sub-Saharan African migrants (SSAMs) have been disproportionately affected by infectious disease burden. We aimed to identify correlates of HIV, past sexually transmitted infection (STI) and past Tuberculosis infection (TB), as well as examine HIV seropositivity unawareness and testing history among SSAMs. A venue-based sample of 790 SSAMs completed a cross-sectional biobehavioral survey on sexual practices, HIV testing and self-reported infectio…
Patterns of Sexual Risk Behavior, HIV Infection, and Use of Health Services Among Sub-Saharan African Migrants in Portugal
This study identified patterns of sexual risk behavior among a sub-Saharan African migrant (SAM) population in Portugal and examined its associations with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence, sociodemographics, use of sexual health services, and HIV testing. A cross-sectional biobehavioral survey was conducted with a venue-based sample of 790 SAMs. Data were collected using questionnaires and rapid HIV tests. Cluster analysis identified…
College Students and Eating Habits
Overweightness and obesity rates have increased dramatically over the past few decades and they represent a health epidemic in the United States (US). Unhealthy dietary habits are among the factors that can have adverse effects on weight status in young adulthood. The purpose of this explorative study was to use a qualitative research design to analyze the factors (barriers and enablers) that US college students perceived as influencing healthy e…
Levers supporting program evaluation culture and capacity in Romanian public administration
Program evaluation culture and capacity is at the very beginning of its development in Romania. In this article we highlight one of the fundamental, but not always obvious, connections that support sustainable evaluation culture and capacity building and development: the link between leadership and program evaluation. If properly used, program evaluation results can be a strong instrument in leadership, just as leadership can fundamentally encour…
