Shaping Prostate Cancer Across the Care Continuum Among Black Men: The Role of Culture and Family Dynamics
Prostate cancer represents a significant health disparity among Black men, who experience higher rates of both incidence and mortality compared to other racial groups. Understanding the complex interplay of cultural, familial, and socioeconomic factors that shape health behaviors is essential for the development of effective interventions. This study sought to explore the lived experiences of ethnically diverse Black men with prostate cancer, foc…
Perceived Discrimination Is a Mediator of Rural Identity and Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity Among U.S. Adults
The rise in prevalence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity indicates the need for more research examining associated risk factors. Identifying multilevel risk factors is especially critical for U.S. health disparity populations who have been shown to experience a disproportionate burden of chronic disease-related morbidity and mortality. This study examines differences in the prevalence of and risk factors associated with cardiometabolic multimorbi…
Bridging the Gap: A Community Advisory Board Promoting Community Engagement in Cancer Research for Ethnically Diverse Populations
Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men in the United States, leading to higher mortality rates and health disparities. In addition, based on historical mistreatment and discrimination and the resulting distrust of the medical system, Black populations are consistently underrepresented in health care-related research. Addressing these challenges requires community-driven approaches integrating diverse perspectives and fostering equit…
Health-related quality of life in ethnically diverse Black prostate cancer survivors: A convergent parallel mixed-methods approach

A Subjective Culture Approach to Cancer Prevention: Rural Black and White Adults’ Perceptions of Using Virtual Health Assistants to Promote Colorectal Cancer Screening
In the US, Black adults are less likely than White adults to be screened for colorectal cancer (CRC). This study uses a subjective culture approach to describe and compare perceptions of a CRC screening intervention delivered via virtual health assistants (VHAs) among rural Black and White study participants. We analyzed 28 focus groups with Black (n = 85) and White (n = 69) adults aged 50–73. Participants, largely recruited through community eng…

Improving medication adherence in African-American women living with HIV/Aids: Leveraging the provider role and peer involvement
African-American women continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV-related morbidity and mortality. To address the burden of HIV/AIDS among this at-risk population, there is need to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence and affect their care-seeking behavior and specifically adherence to antiretroviral treatment. A preliminary qualitative study was conducted with a sample of the target population (n = 10) using grounded …
