Targeted faith-based and faith-placed interventions for noncommunicable disease prevention and control in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review protocol
Barriers and Facilitators of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption among Nigerian Adults in a Faith-Based Setting: A Pre-Intervention Qualitative Inquiry
BACKGROUND: Inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetable is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). An understanding of the barriers and facilitators to consumption is important for effectiveness of intervention in Africa. We present insights among church members before developing a church-based multi-component intervention to address the inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetable. METHODS: …
Baseline Characteristics of the 2015-2019 First Year Student Cohorts of the NIH Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (Build ) Program
The DPC national evaluation has identified a large, longitudinal cohort of students with many from groups historically underrepresented in the biomedical sciences that will inform institutional/national policy level initiatives to help diversify the biomedical workforce
Effects on time to lapse of switching menthol smokers to non-menthol cigarettes prior to a cessation attempt: A pilot study
NCT02342327
Disparities in current cigarette smoking among US adults, 2002–2016
Overall smoking inequality increased or remained unchanged because of slower declines in smoking prevalence among disadvantaged groups. Targeted interventions among high-risk groups can narrow disparities
The Development of Culturally Appropriate Tobacco Prevention Videos Targeted Toward Somali Youth
A CBPR approach can be used to develop a culturally tailored intervention. It was important to involve academic and community partners in all stages of the research project
Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors across six African Immigrant Groups in Minnesota
Although African immigrants have different prevalence rates for CVD risk factors and health behaviors, there is a need to further explore the differences observed by country of emigration
Mentoring and Training of Cancer-Related Health Disparities Researchers Committed to Community-Based Participatory Research
The CNPC training program consists of a scientifically productive pool of mentors and trainees. Trainees reported rates of scholarly productivity comparable to other national training programs and provided insights into relationships with mentors, academic pressures, and professional-personal life balance
Cervical Cancer: Barriers to Screening in the Somali Community in Minnesota
Understanding Cancer Screening Service Utilization by Somali Men in Minnesota
Culturally informed views on cancer screening: A qualitative research study of the differences between older and younger Somali immigrant women
Cultural misperceptions and attitudes need to be addressed in developing culturally-appropriate interventions to improve screening uptake for Somali women. A nuanced response is required to address barriers specific to younger and older groups. Culturally informed beliefs can be integrated into intervention development, preventive care and screening promotion
Culturally specific versus standard group cognitive behavioral therapy for smoking cessation among African Americans: An RCT protocol
NCT01811758
Factors Associated with Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Behavior Among African Immigrant Women in Minnesota
Knowing Quitters Predicts Smoking Cessation in a Homeless Population
Knowing former smokers was associated with increased likelihood of achieving smoking abstinence among homeless smokers
Associations of Menthol Use with Motivation and Confidence to Quit Smoking
Given their relatively lower quit rates as cited in previous literature, Black menthol users appear overly confident about their ability to quit smoking
Shelter Proximity and Affect among Homeless Smokers Making a Quit Attempt
Among homeless smokers trying to quit, the shelter may be associated with unexpected negative affect/stress. Potential intervention applications are suggested
Retracted: Deservingness to state health services for South–South migrants: A preliminary study of Costa Rican providers’ views
Patterns of Cigarette Smoking Initiation in Two Culturally Distinct American Indian Tribes
Objectives. To better understand patterns of initiation among American Indians we examined age-related patterns of smoking initiation during adolescence and young adulthood in 2 American Indian tribes. Methods. We used log-rank comparison and a Cox proportional hazard regression model to analyze data from a population-based study of Southwest and Northern Plains American Indians aged 18 to 95 years who initiated smoking by age 18 years or younger…
Addressing cultural sensitivity in a smoking cessation intervention: Development of the Kick It at Swope project
There are marked and growing disparities in the health status among different racial/ethnic groups. Most researchers and practitioners agree health interventions that are tailored for specific populations are ethically important and more likely to succeed, yet there are few models for how to tailor interventions. This article outlines three phases and eight activities conducted to increase the cultural sensitivity of a clinical trial assessing th…
