Role of religious coping resources as factors in the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life among Black Americans in the United States
Faith and social support have long been identified as cultural assets for many Black individuals, and many successful health promotion programmes have been conducted in faith-based settings; yet, there is a need to understand the mechanisms that can make these programmes successful. This study aimed to understand the moderating role of intrinsic religiosity and spiritual bypass in the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life…
The Right Amount of Support Matters
Black men in the United States experience significant health disparities, including lower life expectancy and poorer psychological quality of life compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Chronic stress exacerbates these disparities, while social support may serve as a protective buffer. However, limited research has examined how different sources of support (family, friends, and significant others) and support levels influence the relationshi…
Exploring Health Priorities in the Barbershop
Barbershops are a place of cultural significance for many Black men and have been the site of successful health promotion programming; yet, efforts conducted in barbershops should recognize the contextual and organizational constraints of the site. The present study used a modified Delphi poll to identify health topics that were important among Black men and feasible to address in the barbershop according to barbers (Round 1) and clients (Round 2…
Gendered Paths To Cancer Knowledge and Screening Behavior among Black Adults
Efforts are needed to promote cancer knowledge and the uptake of cancer screening behaviors among Black Americans. Such efforts must be customized for the unique differences in facilitators/barriers among Black men and women. The present study leverages the potential of the UF Health Cancer Institute Community-Partnered Cancer Disparities Research Collaborative (CDRC) to identify the psychosocial and structural factors associated with cancer know…
A Community-Partnered Cancer Disparities Research Collaborative Model for Engaging Members of Low-Income Black Communities in Cancer Research
Black adults experience the highest incidence and/or mortality rates for many commonly diagnosed cancers; yet they are underrepresented in cancer basic, applied, and translational research. This underrepresentation is greatest among Black adults living in low-income communities. There are many barriers to these individuals participating in cancer research, including limited effective research engagement strategies. This paper describes the Univer…

Community Health Worker Interventions for Men
INTRODUCTION: Community health workers (CHWs) are health promotion specialists who are trusted members of the community served and have a close understanding of the community's needs and values. CHWs are a cost-effective and scalable workforce to promote health among men through tailored approaches. The purpose of the present review was to use the RE-AIM Framework to assess design, implementation, and outcomes of CHW-implemented health promotion …
Sleep as a Predictor of Health-Related Quality of Life among Economically Disadvantaged Black Older Adults
While sleep deprivation has a serious impact on quality of life for Black older adults, sleep disturbances in this population are understudied. Interventions to improve sleep duration and quality among Black older adults may help reduce disparities in quality of life between Black older adults and NHW adults
Socioeconomic Status, Social Support, and Quality of Life Among Black Adults
Objectives Socioeconomic status has a pervasive influence on one's health and quality of life. Social support is known as a factor that can minimize the risk of maladaptive health outcomes while promoting greater quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine the direct and indirect relationships between perceived socioeconomic status, social support, physical quality of life, and psychological quality of life among Black adults. Metho…
The role of sense of community in improving the health‐related quality of life among Black Americans
Black Americans have the lowest life expectancy and health-related quality of life (HRQoL; a strong predictor of premature mortality) of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. Low rates of physical activity and engagement in healthy eating are two known contributors to low HRQoL. Black Americans are more likely to live in environments that inhibit engagement in these two contributors. The present study examined sense of community as a buff…

Perceived socioeconomic status and health-related quality of life (HQoL) among urban adults

Hope and health‐related quality of life among chronically ill uninsured/underinsured adults
AIMS: Uninsured/underinsured individuals with chronic health conditions report low health-related quality of life. Empowerment-based strategies (e.g., hope) may improve the health-related quality of life of uninsured/underinsured individuals with chronic health conditions by enabling them to take charge of their health. METHODS: The present study used structural equation modeling to examine the relationships among number of chronic health conditi…
Associations of Health Self-efficacy With Engagement in Health-Promoting Behaviors and Treatment Adherence in Rural Patients
Rural residents have lower levels of engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence than their urban counterparts. This cross-sectional study sought to understand the role of health self-efficacy as a precursor to engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence in 273 rural patients. Structural equation model was used to examine whether health self-efficacy predicted engagement in health-promoting behaviors and …

Health Self-Empowerment Theory
Health Self-Empowerment Theory asserts that 5 controllable psychological variables predict engagement in health-promoting behaviors. This study tests the theoretical integrity of Health Self-Empowerment Theory and its usefulness in predicting health-promoting behaviors and body mass index. Results from surveying 189 predominantly low-income, overweight/obese, and culturally diverse adults showed that most Health Self-Empowerment Theory variables …
