Social support and ideal cardiovascular health in urban Jamaica
Recent studies have suggested that high levels of social support can encourage better health behaviours and result in improved cardiovascular health. In this study we evaluated the association between social support and ideal cardiovascular health among urban Jamaicans. We conducted a cross-sectional study among urban residents in Jamaica’s south-east health region. Socio-demographic data and information on cigarette smoking, physical activity, d…
Community stressors (violence, victimization, and neighborhood disorder) with cardiometabolic outcomes in urban Jamaica
Background Despite limited data on neighborhood factors and health risk in Caribbean populations, previous analyses from Jamaica have shown that neighborhood and home disorder were associated with lower physical activity and higher cumulative biological risk among women, while poorer neighborhood infrastructure was associated with higher overweight/obesity among men. Design Cross-sectional survey design. Objectives In this study, we explored whet…
Medical Education in the Metaverse
Purpose: Advancements in technology present opportunities for innovation and the reimagination of traditional medical education pedagogy. Virtual reality (VR) allows learners to interact with highly visual inputs that simulate realistic digital representations of the real world and clinical learning environment. While VR pilot programs have been tried in various medical educational domains, the impact of VR-based learning embedded into core clini…
Socioeconomic and gendered inequities in travel behaviour in Africa
The global diet and activity research (GDAR) network
Educational health disparities in hypertension and diabetes mellitus among African descent populations in the Caribbean and the USA
