Over 20 Years of Training in Community-based Participatory Research and Service Learning through the Community Health Fellowship Program
A growing number of institutions have integrated Community-Based Participatory Research into their curricula, using diverse models that range from elective to required, short-term to longitudinal, and single profession to interprofessional programs to align with the American Association of Medical Colleges learning objectives. This paper reviews the past two decades of the Community Health Fellowship Program (CHFP) at UT Southwestern Medical Cent…
A Community-Based Participatory Approach to Evaluating and Adapting an Innovative Family-Based Hypertension Self-Management Intervention for African American Primary Care Patients
“A cuff is not enough”: A community‐based participatory research approach to soliciting perspectives of African Americans with hypertension and their family members on self‐management intervention fea…
We aimed to solicit the perspectives of African Americans with hypertension and their family members on the desired features of a behavioral hypertension self‐management intervention. Using a community‐based participatory approach to intervention design, we conducted four dyadic focus groups, including African American community members with hypertension ( n = 23) and their family members ( n = 23), recruited from African American‐serving Christi…
Depressed mood and environmental mastery as potential pathways linking family relationship quality and disease self‐management for African Americans with hypertension
African Americans are at significantly greater risk of hypertension and worse cardiovascular outcomes than other racialized groups, yet hypertension intervention effects remain limited. Thus, it is necessary to understand the potential mechanisms whereby interventions may be more effectively targeted to improve health. Supported by prior research evidence and guided by the Biobehavioral Family Model, this study examined associations between famil…
Investigating Physician Training, Knowledge, and Response to Human Trafficking at an Academic Medical Center in Texas
Health-care settings are critical for identifying and assisting persons who have experienced human trafficking. Studies estimate that victims have been cared for at multiple clinical sites, but the majority of victimization remains undetected due to lack of awareness, training, and time. This study examined physician human-trafficking knowledge, training, usual practice regarding response, and education modality preferences at an academic medical…
They should walk with you’: The perspectives of African Americans living with hypertension and their family members on disease self-management
African American adults with hypertension and their family members described multilevel influences on hypertension and disease self-management, with a strong emphasis on the value of family support. Developing culturally appropriate, family-centered interventions to improve hypertension self-management will be an important next step
