Racial and Ethnic Disparity in Healthcare Expenditure and Resource Utilization Among Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases
Acceptance of Covid-19 vaccination in a sample of Middle Eastern and North African (Mena) Houston residents
Background COVID-19 vaccination has averted a significant number of deaths in the United States, but vaccination hesitancy continues to be a problem. Therefore, examining vaccination acceptance and/or hesitancy in local communities is critical. Methods A quantitative survey and a multivariable logistic regression model was utilized to determine predictors of COVID-19 vaccination in Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) origin Houston residents.…
Barriers and Facilitators to Data Waivered Providers Prescribing Buprenorphine: A Qualitative Analysis Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior
Background: Provider beliefs about the treatment of people with addiction may influence their prescribing behavior. Objective: This study applied the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), to identify the salient beliefs of Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000) waivered providers, concerning prescribing buprenorphine to patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Methods: Texas buprenorphine providers participated in one of four online focus g…
Perception Regarding Knowledge of Covid-19 Prevention in a Sample of a Middle Eastern and North African (Mena) Community in Houston, Texas, USA
(1) Background: Knowledge of COVID-19 prevention among communities is the first step towards protective behaviors. The objective of this study was to assess COVID-19 prevention knowledge among a Middle Eastern and North African community in Houston, Texas. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated quantitative survey; survey questions consisted of three parts: COVID-19 specific questions, general health questions, and s…
Intention to quit water pipe smoking among Arab Americans: Application of the theory of planned behavior
In this study, we examined the effect of theory of planned behavior (TPB) constructs on the intention to quit water pipe smoking by using an observational, survey-based, cross-sectional study design with a convenient sample of Arab American adults in Houston, Texas. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine predictors of intention to quit water pipe smoking in the next year. A total of 340 participants completed the survey. B…
Parents' Expectations to Receive Antibiotic Prescriptions for Children
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether parents’ level of expectations would change after manipulating their perceived barriers to visiting doctors without any expectations for antibiotic prescriptions and their perceived benefits of using antibiotics. A prospective experimental study was conducted using a data-collection instrument to manipulate perceived barriers and perceived benefits using four scenarios. Scenarios were developed …
The Social Norms and Beliefs of Teenage Male Electronic Cigarette Use
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are novel, battery-operated inhalation devices that provide warm, vaporized nicotine, and often propylene glycol, to users without the inclusion of tobacco smoke. Because men, in general, are more likely to use cigarettes and illicit drugs than women, a qualitative study was undertaken to investigate the beliefs and perceived social norms regarding this issue among 47 teenage boys who self-identified themselve…
Cigarette Smoking Among Jordanian Adults
The objectives were to determine the rate of cigarette smoking and correlates of its use among a sample of Jordanian adults (N = 600). A survey-based, cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenient sample. Logistic regression was used to determine predictors of being a cigarette smoker. Approximately half of the population (45%) had smoked a cigarette in the past month, 40% in the past week, and 36% in past 24 hours. These findings undersc…
