May we be the bridge and boat to cross the water”: Community-engaged research on metta meditation
47; 62% lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual; 23% Asian, 19% Black, 13% Hispanic/Latina/o, 32% White, 24% multiracial). Qualitative analysis identified three central themes: (1) the importance of a community of practice for creating a sense of belonging (including during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic); (2) the benefits of metta practice for cultivating compassion and equanimity; and (3) the use of metta prac…

We would like to thank Drs. Laws and Carballeira for their informative comments on our study of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use by women enrolled in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Laws and Carballeira found, using a detailed, ethnically driven survey, that a much higher proportion of Latina women are using CAM than we reported in our study. We agree that using measures appropriate to specific ethnic groups …
Ethnic Differences in Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine at Midlife: Longitudinal Results From SWAN Participants
Objectives. We estimated the prevalence and longitudinal correlates of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) at midlife among participants of the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Methods. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship between baseline survey–reported symptoms and use of herbal, spiritual, and physical manipulation therapies 1 year later. Results. Almost half of all women had used…
Comparison of the Menopause and Midlife Transition between Japanese American and European American Women
Cross‐cultural differences in the meaning and experience of the universal biologic phenomenon of the menopause have been well documented. Very few studies, however, have focused on the response to the midlife transition among ethnic minority women in the United States, and even fewer exist about Asian American women. This exploratory study compared the perceptions and experiences of the midlife transition among Japanese American and European Amer…
Integrative Medicine and Culture: Toward an Anthropology of CAM
Attitudes Toward Menopause and Aging Across Ethnic/Racial Groups
OBJECTIVE: Attitudes have a potential role to play in the experience of menopause. The objective of this study was to examine the degree to which attitudes toward menopause and aging vary across ethnic groups and menopausal status (ie, premenopausal through postmenopausal). METHODS: More than 16,000 women were interviewed by telephone as part of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation. They represented five ethnic/racial groups (African Ame…
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use among Women with Breast Cancer
The legacy of 19th-century social theories applied to the study of nonmainstream treatment use continues to affect contemporary research into complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Quantitatively based studies of CAM use have been hindered by the lack of an adequate lexicon, inaccurate characterizations of the people who use CAM, and underestimates of the prevalence of usage. Results from a qualitative prospective cohort study challenge pr…

Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome among Hmong Immigrants: "Examining the Role of the "Nightmare
Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome has been regarded as having an exclusively pathophysiological etiology. A focus on factors affecting Hmong refugees in the United States, such as traditional belief, gender roles, and the impact of war, migration, and rapid acculturation, reveals the event that may provoke the fatal syndrome. A supranormal nocturnal experience, traditionally known as the nightmare and familiar to the Hmong, appears to ac…
