The Haida Gwaii Diabetes Project: Planned response activity outcomes
A 1992 chart review in the Haida Village of Skidegate, Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, revealed that 17% of the unscreened population aged 35 or over have been diagnosed with diabetes.

Religious Predictors of Cigarette Smoking: Findings for African American Women of Childbearing Age
Data from a community-based survey of 252 African American women 18 to 44 years of age were used to examine the relation between cigarette smoking and two measures of religious involvement. Findings indicated that cigarette smoking among African American women of childbearing age is related to their denominational affiliation. Specifically, Pentecostal women had significantly lower odds of being a current smoker and higher odds of quitting smokin…
Patterns of Social Affiliation as Predictors of Depressive Symptoms Among Urban Blacks
This paper focuses on patterns of social affiliation viewed historically as sociocultural adaptations to stresses associated with minority group status. Data are from a community-based sample of 927 Black adults residing in a large metropolitan area. Specifically, this analysis assesses the extent to which patterns of social affiliation such as close family ties, religious involvement, and participation in voluntary associations diminish the detr…
Conducting epidemiologic research in a minority community: Methodological considerations
Researchers have noted the difficulties of conducting surveys, one of the most widely used techniques for collecting social science data, in minority communities. These difficulties include low response rates, interviewer bias, and the development of adequate sampling strategies to tap diverse segments within minority communities and locate specific segments of the population, such as male respondents. Efforts to minimize these difficulties in th…

Religiosity and psychological distress among blacks
Residential Satisfaction and Socioeconomic and Housing Characteristics of Urban Black Adults
Most studies directed at examining which factors within the residential environment best predict expressed satisfaction of residents use responses pertaining to the immediate physical and social environment. While earlier studies limited themselves to the physical environment alone (Cottam, 1951; Kennedy, 1950; Mogey & Morris, 1960; Riemer, 1945) and sometimes included the social environment as well (Fried & Gleicher, 1961; Gans, 1961; Wilner, Wa…
Social Support and Depressive Symptoms among Blacks
Depressive symptoms among a sample of Black adults were investigated as a function of three structural characteristics of social support networks: (1) frequency of contact with network members, (2) durability of network relationships, and (3) reciprocity of network relationships. Overall, respondents had frequent contact with their network members, long-term network relationships, and little reciprocity in network relationships. None of these str…
Predictors of Depressive Symptoms and Unemployed Black Adults
Using data from a probability based survey of unemployed Black adults residing in an urban area, this study explores factors related to the presence of depressive symptoms. Findings indicate that depressive symptoms are less among unemployed persons with higher levels of income, education, religiosity, age and satisfactory social support. Age, however, is the single best predictor of depressive symptoms among unemployed Blacks. There were no sign…
