Social determinants of health in the Mixtec and Zapotec community in Ventura County, California
Open AccessÁgústa Edwald Maxwell, Sandra Young et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2015
Many basic needs in the Mixtec and Zapotec community in Ventura County are unmet. It will require many different resources and services to address the needs of this community and to overcome longstanding inequities that are experienced by immigrant farm workers. Our findings will guide the development of future health programs and will serve as a baseline to evaluate the impact of services to improve the health conditions in this community

Adoption of an evidence-based colorectal cancer screening promotion program by community organizations serving Filipino Americans
Open AccessÁgústa Edwald Maxwell, Annette E Maxwell et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014
The high rate of adoption among organizations that were referred by community partners or had partnered with us in the past underscores the importance of community resources, community-academic relationships, and partnership in the dissemination process. However, the moderate rate of adoption among new organizations and the demands of completing documentation and assessments in our trial to advance dissemination research raise questions regarding…
Neighborhood socio-economic disadvantage and race/ethnicity as predictors of breast cancer stage at diagnosis
Open AccessYvonne N Flores, Pamela L Davidson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013
Hispanic women showed the least improvement in breast cancer stage at diagnosis from 1990 to 2000. Breast cancer screening and education programs that target under-served communities, such as the rapidly growing Hispanic population, are needed in California

Results of a Community-Based Randomized Trial to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Filipino Americans
Ágústa Edwald Maxwell, Annette E Maxwell et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2010Cited by: 2References: 17
Objectives. We conducted 1 of the first community-based trials to develop a multicomponent intervention that would increase colorectal cancer screening among an Asian American population. Methods. Filipino Americans (n = 548) nonadherent to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines were randomized into an intervention group that received an education session on CRC screening and free fecal occult blood test (FOBT) kits; a second intervention g…

Tobacco use among South Asians
Beth A Glenn, Zul Surani et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2008Cited by: 1
These findings emphasize the need to disaggregate data for South Asians and suggest that tobacco control interventions should target specific segments of the population (men, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis). Interventions to decrease use of smokeless tobacco products are especially warranted for South Asians
Development of Intervention Materials for Individuals With Limited English Proficiency
Shin-Ping Tu, Mei-Po Yip et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2008References: 67
BACKGROUND: According to recent US census data, 52 million people reported speaking a language other than English at home, and almost 45% of this population reported limited English proficiency (LEP). Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the top 3 most common cancers for several Asian ethnic groups, yet screening remains underutilized by Asian Americans.

Do HMO Market Level Factors Lead to Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening
Ninez A Ponce, Soonim Huh et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2005References: 25
BACKGROUND: Few studies have explored health care market structure and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test use, and little is known whether market factors contribute to racial/ethnic screening disparities. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether HMO market level factors, controlling for individual covariates, differentially impact Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) subjects' access to CRC screening compared with white subjects. RESEARCH DES…
