Feasibility and Acceptability of Assessing Personal Care Product Use and Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Among Black and Hispanic Breast Cancer Survivors
This pilot study explored the feasibility and acceptability of utilizing silicone wristbands to assess exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) among 25 Black and Hispanic breast cancer survivors recruited in Washington, DC, and Hackensack, NJ. Over half of participants (58%) were diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer and the mean age was 58 ± 9 years. Most of the 24 survey respondents (95.83%) reported that the wristband did not interfer…
Validating the Black Identity, Hair Product Use, and Breast Cancer Scale (BHBS) Among Black Breast Cancer Survivors
The BHBS is a valid tool to measure identity, attitudes, and behaviors about product use and breast cancer risk among survivors. Hair is a significant cultural identity expression, and the health effects of styling products should be considered in future interventions
Beauty Beware
(1) Background: Widespread personal care product (PCP) use can expose individuals to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) associated with adverse health outcomes. This study investigated the association between harm perceptions and hair-product-purchasing behaviors in adults enrolled in a cross-sectional study. (2) Methods: Respondents rated their agreement with five PCP-related harm statements using a five-point Likert scale. Multivariable-adju…
Predictors of self‐reported oral health in the Black Women's Health Study
The oral health of US Black women is poorly understood. Correlates of oral health in the BWHS are largely consistent with what has been observed in other populations
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Relation to All-cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Mortality in the Black Women’s Health Study
Lower neighborhood SES is associated with greater risk of mortality among Black women. The presence of the association even among women with high levels of education suggests that individual SES may not overcome the unfavorable influence of neighborhood deprivation
Racism, Segregation, and Risk of Obesity in the Black Women's Health Study
We assessed the relation of experiences of racism to the incidence of obesity and the modifying impact of residential racial segregation in the Black Women's Health Study, a follow-up study of US black women. Racism scores were created from 8 questions asked in 1997 and 2009 about the frequency of "everyday" racism (e.g., "people act as if you are dishonest") and of "lifetime" racism (e.g., unfair treatment on the job). Residential segregation wa…
The Relationship Between Rural Status, Individual Characteristics, and Self‐Rated Health in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Purpose: To examine rural status and social factors as predictors of self‐rated health in community‐dwelling adults in the United States. Methods: This study uses multinomial logistic and cumulative logistic models to evaluate the associations of interest in the 2006 US Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a cross‐sectional survey of 347,709 noninstitutionalized adults. Findings: Self‐rated health was poorer among rural residents, compared…
