“If that goes away, the house of cards falls”: Challenges and solutions to ensuring CHW sustainability
The Community Health Workers (CHWs) for COVID Response and Resilient Communities (CCR) project supported CHWs to strengthen community resilience to combat COVID-19 and address health disparities. This qualitative, participatory case study aimed to identify the sustainability challenges and solutions faced by health organizations and care teams integrating CHWs as change agents. From June to August 2024, 27 interviews were conducted with CHWs ( n …
Ethnic-Racial Socialization and Latinx Youth’s Sociopolitical Development: Testing Variability by Reporter Status and Youth’s Age, Gender, and Family Immigrant Status
The current study drew from sociopolitical development theory to examine the relations between ethnic-racial socialization and youths’ critical reflection and motivation. We also examined variability by reporter (adolescent or parent), youth’s age and gender, and familial immigrant status. Data derived from a sample of 290 Latinx families, including one adolescent ( M = 13.17 years; SD = 1.42) and one parent ( M = 40.02 years; SD = 6.27) in the U…
Using human-centered design to advance health literacy in local health department programming: A case study
This project received University of Arizona IRB review and approval. This study was not considered a randomized controlled trial and did not require registration
Risk factors associated with loneliness among mexican-origin adults in southern Arizona
This study examines factors associated with symptoms of loneliness among a sample (n = 213) of mostly Mexican-origin adults at risk of chronic diseases in Southern Arizona's Pima, Yuma, and Santa Cruz counties. It uses baseline data from a community-based participatory research partnership and multinominal logistic regression models. Controlling for chronic diseases and sociodemographic characteristics, perceived social support and hope exhibit n…
A Community-Based Participatory Approach in Applying the Sociocultural Resilience Model in U.S–Mexico Border Communities
Collaborative approaches within community-based participatory research partnerships can facilitate the adaptation and measurement of conceptual health behavior models in community practice
The Association Between Duration of School Garden Exposure and Self-Reported Learning and School Connectedness
When students feel connected to their school, they experience positive health and academic outcomes. In contrast, school disengagement is a predictor of dropout, delinquency, and substance use. School garden programming has the potential to help children achieve academic outcomes and feel connected to their school. Unfortunately, most school garden research has been conducted with white, affluent study participants. We describe the results of a s…
Factors Associated with Depressive Symptoms among Mexican-Origin Adults in a Community Sample at the US Mexico Border Region
Using baseline data from three partnering federally qualified health centers, we examined factors associated with depressive symptoms among Mexican-origin adults at risk of chronic disease living in three counties in Southern Arizona (i.e., Pima, Yuma, and Santa Cruz). Multivariable linear regression models identified correlates of depressive symptoms for this population controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Among 206 participants, 85…
Risk Factors Associated with Diabetes among Mexican-Origin Adults in Southern Arizona
Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and it is particularly problematic among the Latine population. This study employed multivariable logistic regression models to examine how hypertension, depression, and sociodemographics were associated with diabetes in a cross-sectional sample of Mexican-origin adults living in three counties of Southern Arizona. The overall prevalence of diabetes from this primary care sample…
Adaptation of a Community Clinical Linkages Intervention to the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Community Case Study
In this community case study, we describe the process within an academic-community partnership of adapting UNIDOS, a community health worker (CHW)-led community-clinical linkages (CCL) intervention targeting Latinx adults in Arizona, to the evolving landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with community-based participatory research principles, academic and community-based partners made decisions regarding changes to the intervention study …
The Arizona Prevention Research Center partnerships in Arizona to promote Covid-19 vaccine health equity
Background: Vaccine hesitancy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic is a complex issue that undermines our national ability to reduce the burden of the disease and control the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed widening health disparities and disproportionate adverse health outcomes in terms of transmission, hospitalizations, morbidity and mortality among Arizona's Latinx rural, underserved, farmworker, disabled and elderly populations. In M…
Community Health Worker-Led Community Clinical on the U.S. / Mexico Border: Lessons Learned
Future CHW-led CCL practitioners should consider how to best institutionally support CHWs to maximize benefits for patients
Engaging promotora-led community-based participatory research: An introduction to a crossover design focusing on reproductive and mental health needs of a Latina community
It’s Complicated: Negotiating Between Traditional Research and Community-Based Participatory Research in a Translational Study
The model presented by the ISF is difficult to achieve, but we offer concrete solutions to community members and scientists to move toward that ideal
Adolescent Emotional Distress: The Role of Family Obligations and School Connectedness
Cuídate Sin Pena: Mexican Mother-Adolescent Sexuality Communication
This study explores perceptions of Mexican mother-adolescent communication about sexuality. Participants interviewed included four mother-expecting son pairs and four mother-pregnant daughter pairs. Our interviews revealed important adolescent gender differences. Pena (shame/embarrassment) played a major role vis-à-vis indirect communication about sexuality between mothers and sons. Mothers believed they were communicating about sexuality when us…
