A qualitative examination of human papillomavirus vaccine access, beliefs, and behaviors among adult males aged 18–35
Background Males, who disproportionately account for 83% of oropharyngeal cancer cases, are underrepresented in health promotion research, including human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination studies. The initial exclusion of males in HPV vaccine research, policies, and interventions has negatively affected male vaccine uptake. Furthermore, stigma, a well-documented barrier to healthcare engagement, has been overlooked in HPV vaccination behaviors. T…
The Effects of Food Security on Academic Performance of University Students at a Hispanic-Serving Institution
Several studies find that low food security has negative effects on academic performance in higher education in the U.S., but the samples for these studies often have low percentages of Hispanic students. Consequently, it remains unclear if food security affects academic performance in predominantly Hispanic settings. Our study aims to analyze whether food security affects academic performance at a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Using origin…
Addressing knowledge gaps
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and nearly every person who is sexually active will get HPV at some point in their lifetime without having the HPV vaccine. Healthcare Providers (HCPs) and Community Health Workers (CHWs) play an essential role in promoting the HPV vaccine and providing education about HPV in communities. Three focus groups with CHWs ( n = 17) and HCPs ( n = 7) were conducted and led…
Hear my voice
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic led to the collapse of the Peruvian health system, disrupting healthcare access for indigenous communities in the Amazon. Our study analysed how community health workers (CHWs) from indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon expanded their roles to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Fourteen CHWs from Loreto, Peru, participated in a community-based participatory research project using Ph…
Hispanic Survivors and Caregivers of Human Papillomavirus–Associated Cancers
Although human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers are preventable and treatable at early stages, health disparities in HPV-associated cancer outcomes continue to exist among Hispanic populations. Hispanics residing along the U.S.–Mexico border face barriers distinct from other geographically dispersed populations within the United States. The current research aimed to explore perspectives and lived experiences of survivors and caregivers of …
Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Needs among Hispanic Women Living on the US-Mexico Border
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of female cancer and has a disproportionate impact on Hispanic women living on the US-Mexico border, especially those who are migrants or low-income. However, cervical cancer is primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection that can be successfully prevented and treated early with vaccination and screening. Several studies have explored factors affecting HPV pre…
Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Acceptance (HPV-VA) and Vaccine Uptake (HPV-VU)
Adequate HPV vaccination uptake among all vaccine-eligible Hispanics is an important step to lessen the HPV-attributed cancer burden. Our hypothesis that theory-based factors would be associated with HPV-VA and HPV-VU was supported. Our findings have implications for designing trusted, theory-based, and culturally sensitive health communications and interventions to promote vaccines in minority underrepresented communities
Food and housing security at a US Hispanic-Serving Institution
University students occupy a socially marginal position and therefore are often underserved by academic and service institutions. This article analyzes food and housing security among students at The University of Texas at El Paso, a Hispanic-Serving Institution located in the U.S.-Mexico Border region. Findings of a sample of n = 7,633 university students are presented in the first cross-sectional, two-year food and housing security study on cam…
Covid-19 Imperils Access to Health and Human Services in El Paso, Texas and New York City
Analysis of Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices in Adolescents and Young Adults in Two Texas Rural Communities
The Youth and Young Adults Cancer Knowledge Attitudes and Practices (C-KAP) exploratory study in 2 rural underserved areas in a border community. C-KAP is an interdisciplinary research pilot project led by university scholars in psychology and social work in partnership with community partners. The exploratory cross-sectional mix-method study recruited 141 (n = 141) youth and young adults (ages 18-39). This study was informed on empirical researc…
The Impact of Restrictive Policies on Mexican Immigrant Parents and Their Children's Access to Health Care
Background: This study assessed whether policies that limit Mexican immigrants' access to care affects their children's access to a regular source of care, health insurance, and timely preventive health visits. Method: This was a cross-sectional study among Mexican immigrant parents who attended a health promotion program in Texas, Nevada, New York, and Illinois. A sociodemographic survey, including parental and child variables, was administered.…
A life course approach to understanding homelessness of shelter residents
Using in-depth interviews of 40 residents from a homeless shelter in El Paso, Texas in the United States, this study examines the etiology, processes, and patterns of homelessness by assessing those confronting homeless spells at different time points and for varying reasons. Our study is guided by the research questions: How did residents of homeless shelters experience transitions and turning points of homelessness? What were the coping resourc…
Syndemic factors associated with drinking patterns among Latino men and Latina transgender women who have sex with men in New York City
Alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern among Latino men and Latina transgender women who have sex with men. However, characteristics and behaviors associated with alcohol consumption in this population, particularly in regard to the complex influence of syndemic factors, remain understudied. The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of high-risk alcohol consumption (i.e. binge or heavy drinking). Between January and …
