HPV Self-Sampling Promotion Among African American (AA) and Sub-Saharan African (SAI) Immigrant Women
Adaptation of an evidence-based intervention is necessary to ensure contextually and culturally appropriateness for target populations, particularly for minoritized populations. We demonstrated that an evidence-based intervention for Pap screening can be adapted for HPV-self-sampling promotion with target community input
Profile of informal rural Appalachian caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses
PURPOSE: Caring for a family member with chronic illness increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by 82%, and rurality imparts additional CVD disparities. The purpose of this study was to describe a profile of rural caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses to determine the prevalence of CVD risk factors, and psychosocial and socioeconomic burden, as well as to compare these variables across gender. METHODS: Baseline data from a trial of C…

This study was conducted to assess if the relationship between family history and adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors is moderated by fatalism. METHODS: Baseline data were obtained from 1,027 adult par…
