Effects of Teacher Training and Continued Support on the Delivery of an Evidence-Based HIV Prevention Program
Background Few studies have investigated the effects of teacher training and continued support on teachers’ delivery of evidence-based HIV prevention programs. We examined these factors in a national implementation study of an evidence-based HIV risk reduction intervention for adolescents in the sixth grade in the Bahamas. Methods Data were collected from 126 grade 6 teachers and 3,118 students in 58 government elementary schools in the Bahamas i…
Predictive algorithm to stratify newborns at-risk for child undernutrition in India
Background: India is at the epicentre of global child undernutrition. Strategies to identify at-risk populations are needed in the context of limited resources. Methods: Data from children under the age of five surveyed in the 2015-2016 National Family Health Survey were used. Child undernutrition was assessed using anthropometric measurements. Predictor variables were identified from the extant literature and included if they could be measured a…
Predicting Adolescent Intervention Non-responsiveness for Precision HIV Prevention Using Machine Learning
Interventions to teach protective behaviors may be differentially effective within an adolescent population. Identifying the characteristics of youth who are less likely to respond to an intervention can guide program modifications to improve its effectiveness. Using comprehensive longitudinal data on adolescent risk behaviors, perceptions, sensation-seeking, peer and family influence, and neighborhood risk factors from 2564 grade 10-12 students …
Physician Trust and Home Remedy Use Among Low-Income Blacks and Whites with Hypertension
Awareness, knowledge, social norms, and vaccination intentions among Khmer mother–daughter pairs
Culturally and linguistically appropriate communication strategies such as storytelling or visual presentation approaches may be more effective than the current practice of using information-based written materials to promote HPV vaccination and health education among Cambodian Americans
Development of Participant-Informed Text Messages to Promote Physical Activity Among African American Women Attending College
The purpose of this study was to develop a participant-informed technology-based physical activity (PA) promotion tool for young overweight and obese African American (AA) women. A mixed-method 3-phase study protocol design was used to develop text messages to promote PA in AA women attending the University of Alabama at Birmingham during the Spring of 2013. Nominal focus groups and a 2-week pilot were used to generate and test participant-develo…

Declining social capital is one explanation for lower response to household surveys. By intentionally developing an awareness of social capital among its interviewers, the Por Ahí Dicen research study encouraged the use of interviewer social capital as a mechanism to achieve a response rate of 65.2 percent for baseline and post-intervention household studies of Puerto Rican mothers ( n = 413). These surveys were conducted in a “hard-to-count” urb…
Psychometric Development of the Research and Knowledge Scale
BACKGROUND: Many research participants are misinformed about research terms, procedures, and goals; however, no validated instruments exist to assess individual's comprehension of health-related research information. We propose research literacy as a concept that incorporates understanding about the purpose and nature of research. OBJECTIVES: We developed the Research and Knowledge Scale (RaKS) to measure research literacy in a culturally, litera…
Influential Factors of Puerto Rican Mother–Child Communication About Sexual Health Topics
Patterns of adult cross-racial friendships
This study identified salient characteristics of individuals associated with cross-racial friendships and highlighted the influence of the social, historical, and political context in shaping such friendships. Our findings suggest that contemporary race relations reflect progress as well as polarization. (PsycINFO Database Record
Clinical Operations Variables are Associated With Blood Pressure Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP), among patients diagnosed and treated for the condition, remains an important clinical challenge; aspects of clinical operations could potentially be adjusted if they were associated with better outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To assess clinical operations factors' effects on normalization of uncontrolled BP. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SUBJECTS: Patients diagnosed with hypertension from a large…
Reported Racial Discrimination, Trust in Physicians, and Medication Adherence Among Inner-City African Americans With Hypertension
Within our sample of inner city African Americans with hypertension, racial discrimination was associated with lower medication adherence, and this association was partially mediated by trust in physicians. Patient, physician and system approaches to increase "earned" trust may enhance existing interventions for promoting medication adherence
Trust, Medication Adherence, and Hypertension Control in Southern African American Men
We examined the relationship between trust in the medical system, medication adherence, and hypertension control in Southern African American men. The sample included 235 African American men aged 18 years and older with hypertension. African American men with higher general trust in the medical system were more likely to report better medication adherence (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06), and those with higher self-efficacy were more likely to report be…

The Therapeutic Implications of Timely Linkage and Early Retention in HIV Care
Following HIV diagnosis, linkage to outpatient treatment, antiretroviral initiation, and longitudinal retention in care represent the foundation for successful treatment. While prior studies have evaluated these processes in isolation, a systematic evaluation of successive steps in the same cohort of patients has not yet been performed. To ensure optimal long-term outcomes, a better understanding of the interplay of these processes is needed. The…
