Implementing a Social Needs Screening and Referral Program for Obstetrics and Gynecology Patients
This HRSN screening and referral program was highly effective in connecting referred OB/GYN patients with unmet HRSNs to relevant social services. Addressing patients' unmet HRSNs may allow patients to better engage in OB/GYN care and improve clinical outcomes
A rural ambulance service in Northern Togo improves access to emergency care for women with obstetric complications
Background: Maternal mortality remains high in sub-Saharan Africa, with little progress made in the last 20 years. The provision of emergency obstetric care has been shown to have the greatest effect in reducing maternal mortality in countries with high maternal mortality ratios, especially when paired with an emergency transport service. Integrate Health has partnered with the Togolese Ministry of Health to improve maternal and child health via …
Identifying determinants of under-five child mortality in northern Togo
Background: Although global rates of under-five mortality have declined, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Togo, have not achieved sufficient progress. We aimed to identify the structural and intermediary determinants associated with under-five mortality in northern Togo. Methods: We collected population-representative cross-sectional household surveys adapted from the Demographic Household Survey (DHS) and Multiple Indicat…
A rural ambulance service in Northern Togo improves access to emergency care for women with obstetric complications
Background: The full-scale invasion disrupted health care in Ukraine, leading to the displacement of physicians and affecting their access to subspecialist consultations. HealUA, a mobile application, was designed to provide secure and timely remote physician-to-physician consultations. We aimed to assess the implementation of the HealUA mobile application for peer-to-peer physician consultations in Ukraine during the Russian invasion. Methods: H…
Psychosocial Correlates of Meeting National Guidelines for Muscle-Strengthening Activities in Latinas
Background Performing regular muscle-strengthening activity has numerous health benefits, including improvements in blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and lean body mass. Despite the disproportionate prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic disease in Latinas (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), most do not report meeting the national guidelines for muscle-strengthening activity. Existing physical activity (PA) research in Latinas has focused almost ex…
Psychometric Properties of the God Locus of Health Control Scale in Churchgoing Latinas
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the God Locus of Health Control scale, a measure of the extent to which an individual believes God has control over one’s health, among a sample of churchgoing Latinas ( N = 398). Confirmatory factor analysis showed support for a one-factor structure and internal consistency reliability, as measured by Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, was good. Evidence for convergent validit…
Socio-demographic Moderators of Associations Between Psychological Factors and Latinas’ Breast Cancer Screening Behaviors
Psychometric Evaluation of the Spanish Versions of the Perceived Religious Influence on Health Behavior Scale and the Illness as Punishment for Sin Scale in a Sample of Churchgoing Latinas
The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions of the Perceived Religious Influence on Health Behavior scale and the Illness as Punishment for Sin scale in a sample of churchgoing Latina women ( N = 404). For the Perceived Religious Influence on Health Behavior scale, confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the expected one- factor model, internal consistency reliability was good, and there was evidence …
Fe en Acción
Objectives. To evaluate the impact of a faith-based intervention to promote physical activity in Latinas. Methods. We randomized 16 churches in San Diego County, California, to a physical activity intervention or cancer screening comparison condition (n = 436). The intervention followed an ecological framework and involved promotoras. We examined 12-month intervention effects, including accelerometer-based moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (…

Determinants of Implementation Effectiveness in a Physical Activity Program for Church-Going Latinas
Faith-based interventions show promise for reducing health disparities among ethnic minority populations. However, churches vary significantly in their readiness and willingness to support these programs. Semistructured interviews were conducted with priests, other church leaders, and lay health advisors in churches implementing a physical activity intervention targeting Latinas. Implementation effectiveness was operationalized as average 6-month…
Feasibility and Preliminary Findings of a Church-Based Mother-Daughter Pilot Study Promoting Physical Activity Among Young Latinas
Physical activity (PA) rates in young Latina girls are low. This study examined acceptability and feasibility of implementing a mother-daughter intervention targeting individual and family-level correlates of PA. Eleven mother-daughter dyads participated in an 8-week intervention promoting PA in preadolescents. Preliminary data suggest increases in self-report PA, reductions in television watching, and improvements in parenting and mother-daughte…
