Religion and Spirituality in African American Family Communication and Support After Cancer Genetic Testing
After an individual undergoes genetic testing for a cancer predisposition syndrome, communication with family about the test results is important for motivating additional testing amongst family members where appropriate and other measures to reduce cancer risk. Given disproportionate rates of cancer mortality and lower rates of testing among African Americans, sharing test results within families is especially important for this population. Reli…
Domain-Specific Physical Activity and Obesity Risk among Black Men in the United States
Associations between childhood socioeconomic characteristics, race, and risk of adverse childhood experiences in a population-based sample of US-born non-Hispanic Black and White women
US-born NHB and NHW girls residing in poorer neighborhoods or households had a similarly substantially elevated burden of ACEs, indicating childhood poverty is a crucial determinant of ACE risk, independent of race
Effects of urban greenspace on time to major adverse cardiovascular events among women with breast cancer in the US
Equipping Faith-Based Communities for Cancer Support Ministry
The Association between Adult Sport, Fitness, and Recreational Physical Activity and Number and Age of Children Present in the Household
Only one in three adults in the United States meets the weekly recommendation for physical activity (PA). The presence of children in the home may restrict adult PA. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between adult moderate and vigorous sport, fitness, and recreational physical activities and the number and age (0-5 and 6-17) of children in their household. Secondary data were drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Exa…
Independent Effects of Neighborhood Poverty and Psychosocial Stress on Obesity Over Time
Neighbourhood Poverty, Perceived Discrimination and Central Adiposity in the Usa
This study examines the independent effects of neighbourhood context (i.e. neighbourhood poverty) and exposure to perceived discrimination in shaping risk of obesity over time. Weighted three-level hierarchical linear regression models for a continuous outcome were used to assess the independent effects of neighbourhood poverty and perceived discrimination on obesity over time in a sample of 157 non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White and Hispanic…
Neighborhood disadvantage and preterm delivery in Urban African Americans
Evidence suggests that neighborhood disadvantage predicts preterm delivery (PTD). However, the design of most existing studies precludes within-group analyses, which would allow the identification segments of the population at highest risk, as well as preventive factors. African Americans (AA) are disproportionately affected by PTD, are disproportionately concentrated in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and frequently use religious coping in response…
