Perceived Discrimination in Medical Care Settings on A1c Data From the All of Us Program
Approximately 11.3% of the U.S. population has diabetes, mostly type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and maintenance of A1c levels is vital to prevent complications among patients. Perceived discrimination in medical care settings (PDMS) affects patient care, while social support may mitigate its impact. This study aims to explore the influence of PDMS on A1c levels in T2DM patients using the All of Us Research Program, which collects health data from diverse…
An Innovative Youth‐Friendly Electronic Questionnaire to Identify Mental, Sexual and Reproductive Health Risks
BACKGROUND: The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend screenings during adolescents' annual preventive health appointments. However, the literature reports only 50% completion at their last appointment, with less than half of providers discussing recommended health topics. Barriers such as time constraints and discomfort contribute to low completion rates. The Total Teen (TT) Assessment is a novel approach …
Cultural Adaptation of the Mothers and Babies Online Course for Black Mothers with Preterm Infants
With persistent racial inequities, cultural adaptations of health programs can promote equitable maternal mental health. Despite the intersecting identities of Black mothers with preterm birth combined with racial discrimination, previous mental health programs in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are void of the sociocultural context that perpetuates racially motivated care. This study uses a two-round Delphi process to gather knowledge on…
Development of Youth‐Centered Health Messaging Posters for High School‐Based Health Clinics in Hawaii
BACKGROUND: Youth may be reluctant to seek health care from school health providers due to feeling embarrassed or stigmatized in the health office environment or worried about their confidentiality. The purpose of this project was to create a set of youth-centered health posters that promote youth engagement with nursing staff and to standardize health messaging across high schools in Hawaii school-based clinics. METHODS: Two community advisory b…
Continuity of maternal and infant care through integrated health service delivery networks in Latin America
Latin America has experienced substantial development over the last three decades; however, development has been uneven with persistent inequalities, especially in the areas of maternal and child health. Since the early 1990s, most Latin American health-care systems have undergone a series of reforms to improve access to services, with the most recent being the implementation of integrated health service delivery networks (IHSDNs). This model pos…
The Development of a Systems-Level Approach to Address Adolescent Access to Health Care
Most evidence-based interventions in adolescent sexual and reproductive health and mental health remain largely aimed at individual-level outcomes and do not conceptualize adolescent health within a social-ecological model. Interventions to affect policy, systems, and environmental change offer potential for sustained population impact. The current initiative used an innovation framework to develop a novel systems-level approach to address adoles…
Supporting and Enabling the Process of Innovation in Public Health
This manuscript introduces a new framework for creating innovations in public health—the Framework for Public Health Innovation. The framework was developed through a longitudinal qualitative research study that investigated the process of creating innovative adolescent health programs. Interviews were conducted with a national sample of 26 organizations over two time points. Data collection focused on the process of innovative program developmen…
High-risk adolescents’ sexuality education preferences based on Hispanic ethnicity
In the USA, persons of Hispanic ethnicity experience higher rates of adolescent pregnancy and STIs than non-Hispanic white youth and there exists a lack of research concerning the sexuality education preferences of Hispanic adolescents. This study describes sexual health education preferences by Hispanic ethnicity among a high-risk sample of young people aged 14–20 years in Texas. Data were collected from participants in a teenage pregnancy preve…
Exploring sexual behaviors and health communication among older women
Older women around the globe are generally depicted as asexual beings, which may impact patient-provider discussions about sex. We examined data on 703 aging women in the United States to compare factors associated with women perceiving sex as important and women discussing sex with their physicians since turning 50. While 65.1% of participants perceived sex to be important, only 23.8% discussed sex with their providers since turning 50. Factors …
Replication Typology and Guidelines for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Initiatives
An introduction is presented in which the authors discuss the supplemental issue of the journal which examines the replication typology and guidelines for adolescent pregnancy prevention programs in America, as well as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Adolescent Health
Work engagement and its association with occupational sitting time
Being actively engaged in one's work is associated with lower occupational sitting times for men (vigor and dedication) and to a limited extent for women (vigor only). This suggests that interventions such as introducing sit-stand workstations to reduce sitting times, may be beneficial for work engagement
Changing clinicians’ beliefs about treatment for children experiencing trauma
The child trauma field has seen a steady change in policy, funding priorities and dissemination efforts toward the implementation of evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Despite this shift, many clinicians remain untrained in these practices, which may speak to both a lack of awareness regarding this shift, and difficulty altering their fundamental beliefs about how therapy should be conducted. The current study sought to examine whether clinicians’…
Support for HPV Vaccination Mandates for Both Females and Males
Identifying those who support HPV vaccination mandates is important for increasing vaccine uptake and reducing HPV-related cancers
Obesity and Perceived Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea–Related Conditions
This study examined risk factors and perceived severity of obstructive sleep apnea-related conditions among college students based on weight categories. Data collected from 1399 college students were analyzed using multinomial and binary logistic regressions. Overweight and obese participants were more likely to snore and report familial risk for cardiovascular disease compared with their normal weight counterparts. Relative to normal weight part…
Programmatic effects to modify sources of financial support among Hispanic teenage mothers

Racial differences in rural adults' attitudes toward issues of adolescent sexuality
This study, based on a random sample of adults in a rural North Carolina county, demonstrates racial differences in rural adults' attitudes relating to adolescent sexual issues. Blacks were 50% more likely than Whites to indicate that public schools should provide general health care services, including pregnancy testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, to teenagers; however, they were only half as likely as Whites to approve of se…
