Place-based, intersectional variation in caregiving patterns and health outcomes among informal caregivers in the United States
Introduction Informal caregiving is a critical component of the healthcare system despite numerous impacts on informal caregivers’ health and well-being. Racial and gender disparities in caregiving duties and health outcomes are well documented. Place-based factors, such as neighborhood conditions and rural–urban status, are increasingly being recognized as promoting and moderating health disparities. However, the potential for place-based factor…
Does Healthcare Provider Counseling for Weight Management Behaviors among Hispanic Adults Who Are Overweight/Obese Vary by Acculturation Level
This cross-sectional study explored differences in the receipt of health care provider (HCP) counseling to control/lose weight and adopt weight-related lifestyle behavior changes among Hispanic respondents according to acculturation level. Differences in reported action regarding HCP counseling were also examined. Data from four National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles (2011-2018) were analyzed, with the analytic sample li…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in US Adolescents’ Dietary Quality and Its Modification by Weight-Related Factors and Physical Activity
There are well-known disparities in the prevalence of obesity across racial-ethnic groups, although the behavioral and psychological factors driving these disparities are less well understood. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: (1) to examine differences in dietary quality by race/ethnicity and weight-related variables [body mass index (BMI), weight loss attempt, and weight dissatisfaction] and physical activity (PA) using the Health E…
What Aspects of Rural Life Contribute to Rural‐Urban Health Disparities in Older Adults? Evidence From a National Survey
PURPOSE: Rural-urban health disparities are well-documented and particularly problematic for older adults. However, determining which specific aspects of rural or urban living initiate these disparities remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess associations between place-based characteristics of rural-urban status and health among adults age 65+. METHODS: Data from the 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were geographic…
The Association between US Adolescents’ Weight Status, Weight Perception, Weight Satisfaction, and Their Physical Activity and Dietary Behaviors
Background : It remain unclear that the association between weight status, weight perception, weight satisfaction and the clustering of physical activity (PA) and dietary behaviors in adolescents. Method : A cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the US Department of Agriculture's Food Patterns Equivalents 2007−2014 data from adolescents aged 12−17 years ( n = 2965) was conducted. Multivariable logistic r…
A Closer Look at Rural‐Urban Health Disparities
BACKGROUND: Obesity affects over one-third of older adults in the United States. Both aging and obesity contribute to an increased risk for chronic disease, early mortality, and additional health care utilization. Obesity rates are higher in rural areas than in urban areas, although findings are mixed. The objectives of this study are to assess potential nonlinearity in the association between rurality and obesity, and to evaluate the potential f…

Meeting Sex Partners Through the Internet, Risky Sexual Behavior, and HIV Testing Among Sexually Transmitted Infections Clinic Patients
Adverse childhood experiences and intimate partner aggression in the US
Development of a pediatric cariogenicity index
The liquid cariogenicity index has potential in research and clinical settings to provide a liquid cariogenicity score and help quickly identify modifiable risk factors within a child's diet. Further research is needed to test its utility in clinical and public health settings
Grandparental caregiving, income inequality and respiratory infections in elderly US individuals
BACKGROUND: Pneumonia and influenza (P&I) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA, particularly in elderly people. Recent research indicates that P&I may be linked to socioeconomic conditions associated with interactions of children with vulnerable elderly people that may proliferate the spread of disease. This study assessed the associations between four sociodemographic characteristics--median county income, Gini index, youth dep…
Strategic Regulatory Planning in the Management of Hazardous Materials
The failure to coordinate policy formulation with policy implementation in hazardous waste regulation has hindered the identification of potential obstacles to achieving compliance. In an effort to integrate policy formulation with implementation, this paper develops a strategic regulatory planning model and applies it to a specific case, the underground storage tank provision of the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments. The final plan, subm…
