This study characterizes contraceptive behavior among Appalachians, including contraceptive use, reasons for use, and methods used; contraceptive nonuse and reasons for nonuse; and attitudes about contraception, including acceptability. This is a seco…
Daily Sleep and Anxious and Depressive Symptoms Among Dementia Caregivers—The Mediation of Cortisol Total Output on High- and Low-Stress Days
Staying longer in bed than usual before an upcoming high-stress day may help dementia family caregivers better regulate cortisol stress reactivity and anxious symptoms

Patient activation is an important aspect of self-management for adults with chronic non cancerous health conditions (CHC).

This systematic review examined regarding the types of measures used to evaluate a patient’s readiness for self-management including patient activation and healthrelated quality of li…
The Relationship Between Sleep and Physical Function in Community-Dwelling Adults

This pilot study explored the relationships between sleep, age, chronic disease burden, and physical function among 50 community-dwelling older adults. Findings revealed significant relationships between total sleep time and preclinical disability (r = -0.…

Twelve women participated in repeated performance measures, in-depth interviews of daily life and physically challenging events, and observations of daily activities conducted over 18 months. Interpretive phenomenological analysis of textual data showed that women's bodies provided multiple indicato…
