Associations of Social Factors and Self-Efficacy with Skin-Self Examination Intentions Among Hispanics at Risk for Skin Cancer and Their Preferences for Digital Interventions
Skin cancer ranks as the most prevalent cancer in the United States. Over the past two decades, the incidence of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, among Hispanics has risen by 20%. Melanoma mortality rates are higher in Hispanics than in non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). Early detection of melanoma via skin self-examination may lead to diagnosis of melanoma at an earlier stage, when they are thinner, less invasive, and more easily treatable, …
Barriers and facilitators to skin cancer prevention among Hispanics: A qualitative study
Future interventions should focus on individual, community, and system-level strategies to address misperceptions in the Hispanic community, increase knowledge and awareness, address perceptions of cultures regarding skin cancer preventive activities, and emphasize the importance or priority of health issues related to skin cancer
Health Beliefs, Trust in Media Sources, Health Literacy, and Preventive Behaviors among High-Risk Chinese for Covid-19
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) broke out in China in January 2020 and has been effectively controlled in April 2020 after China's relentless efforts. People's engagement in disease-related preventive behaviors is crucial in containing such infectious disease. Vulnerable populations often have higher chances of developing severe illness from COVID-19 and the mortality rate is also higher. Thus, at-risk populations for COVID-19 request extra at…
Sunburns and Sun Protection Behaviors among Male Hispanic Outdoor Day Laborers
Individuals who work outside are at increased risk for skin cancer due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Little is known about UV exposures and sun safety practices of outdoor day laborers, who are disproportionately Hispanic. This study identified the correlates of sunburn and sun protection behaviors in a sample of male, Hispanic day laborers ( n = 175). More than half of the participants (54.9%) experienced one or more sunbu…
Friends over Doctors? The Influences of Source and Perceived Customization on College Drinking
College drinking, often associated with college binge drinking, is a critical issue in the United States and may lead to harmful consequences such as academic failure, injury, sexual assault, and even death. Health interventions targeted at reducing problematic drinking are needed to help prevent these harmful behaviors among college students. The current work explores the intersection of different types of information sources (e.g., authority an…
An Experimental Investigation into Promoting Mental Health Service Use on Social Media: Effects of Source and Comments
Mental health is an increasingly prevalent topic of public interest, but remains a complex area requiring focused research that must account for negative perceptions surrounding mental health issues. The current work explores the roles of social media information source credibility and valence of social media comments on health outcomes in such a mental health context. We used a 2 (message source: professional vs. layperson) × 3 (valence of comme…
Associations of Social Media Use, Patient-centered Communication, and Knowledge with Perceived Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Effectiveness
Objectives: Given the effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in preventing cervical cancer and other diseases, as well as the low rates of HPV vaccination in the United States, it is important to examine the determinants of perceived HPV vaccine effectiveness. In this study, we examined the associations between potential factors associated with perceived HPV vaccine effectiveness. Methods: We utilized data (N = 718) from the nati…
