Generating the evidence base for implementation strategies targeting colorectal cancer screening in the accelerating colorectal cancer screening through implementation science (ACCSIS) research projec…
Implementing evidence-based interventions for population-level benefit can be challenging in resource-limited primary care settings. Research is needed to identify, specify, and systematically study implementation strategies that address the multilevel, contextual influences on implementation in these settings. This study reviewed and compared the implementation strategies proposed by Research Projects (RPs) funded through the Accelerating Colore…
School‐Based Body Image Programming
The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature on school‐based programs that have been developed to address body image among adolescents. A literature review on this topic has not been conducted since 2013, warranting the need for an updated review since the proliferation of social media and other societal changes. Articles were included if they were published from 2011–2022; 2011 to 2022; described programs implemented in secondary sc…
Feasibility and efficacy of a novel audiovisual tool to increase colorectal cancer screening among rural Appalachian Kentucky adults
Introduction: Residents of Appalachian regions in Kentucky experience increased colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality. While population-based screening methods, such as fecal immunochemical tests (FITs), can reduce many screening barriers, written instructions to complete FIT can be challenging for some individuals. We developed a novel audiovisual tool ("talking card") to educate and motivate accurate FIT completion and assessed its fe…
A Pilot Evaluation of the Respect You Curriculum
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study is to evaluate the Respect YOU program's impact on students' eating expectancies, body image satisfaction levels, self-efficacy, and knowledge. A total of 444 (intervention cohort n = 348, control cohort n = 96) underclassmen enrolled in health or physical education courses from 7 high schools in the Midwest participated in the study. METHODS: A repeated measure research design was utilized to assess studen…
Institutional Barriers to Healthcare Services Among Transgender Individuals in the Rural Midwest
Often the barriers that arise in healthcare are due to healthcare professionals lack of education, exposure, and transphobia. Another potential barrier is due to geographical location of living in a rural area where there is a lack of healthcare services. This phenomenological study investigated barriers faced by transgender individuals who were transitioning in a rural area, focusing particularly on institutional barriers present in the healthca…
Medications for Opioid Use Disorder in Rural United States
BACKGROUND: The opioid epidemic continues to be problematic in the United States (US). Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are a commonly used evidence-based approach to treating affected individuals, but little is known about its use in the rural US. We reviewed published literature and summarized access, barriers, and approaches to MOUD delivery in rural areas. METHODS: aims. Articles published after 2004 were included if they were cross…

The impact of sexual orientation conversion therapies on transgender individuals
The purpose of sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) is to change an individual’s sexual orientation, not necessarily gender identity. Given that sexual orientation is a distinctly different construct than gender identity, sexual conversion therapy methods may be different for transgender individuals, and the impact may also be different. This qualitative multiple case study (N =4) investigated the experiences and impact of SOCE on transgender…
Perspectives of cancer prevention and control resources from stakeholders in rural southern Illinois
PURPOSE: Rural residents have a higher cancer burden than urban residents, which is likely related to multiple socioecological factors. This study sought to investigate the perspectives of a diverse set of rural stakeholders regarding access to cancer prevention and control resources in rural southern Illinois. METHODS: Stakeholders were recruited from counties in southern Illinois and included residents (cancer survivors or caregivers), leaders …
Social Norms vs. fear Appeals
OBJECTIVE: Overall, students preferred the fear appeal to the social norms message. Participants found the social norms message less believable than the fear appeal and indicated they understood the fear appeal better than the social norms message. However, social norm messages appeared to resonate better with abstainers than with regular alcohol users
The State of Research on Faith Community Nursing in Public Health Interventions
A multiple case study on drag culture and substance use
Use of alcohol and drugs has been a common theme in the United States, particularly among the LBGTQ community. Entertainers have been shown to have high rates of substance use due to performing in alcohol-related venues. The drag queen is both an entertainer and a symbol of the LBGTQ community, yet little research has been done on the role substance use plays in the drag community. The present case study discusses drag culture and how substance u…
