Barbershop talk: A hybrid-2 trial examining the effectiveness of a barbershop-placed screening, brief intervention, and referral (SBIRT) intervention
Black men who report unhealthy drinking experience more severe health outcomes and negative social consequences than other racialized groups. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based, multilevel, integrated public health approach to delivering early intervention services for individuals at risk for unhealthy drinking, as well as the timely referral to more intensive treatment. SBIRTs have been implemen…
Disparities in Prenatal Care Utilization in the United States
Influences on Covid-19 booster uptake among adults intending to receive a booster: A qualitative study
Bivalent COVID-19 vaccine boosters have been recommended for all Americans 12 years of age and older. However, uptake remains suboptimal with only 17% of the United States (US) population boosted as of May 2023. This is a critical public health challenge for mitigating the ongoing effects of COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 booster uptake is not currently well understood, and few studies in the US have explored the vaccination process for booster upt…
Social Processes and Covid-19 Vaccination of Children of Hesitant Mothers
Racial Misclassification, Discrimination, Consciousness, and Self-Rated Health Among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Adults in the USA
Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Experiences of Discrimination Among Black Adults
Association Between Physical Activity and Physical Function in a Marshallese Population with Type 2 Diabetes
Covid-19 Booster Uptake: Are Hesitant Adopters Less Likely to Get a Booster Shot Than Nonhesitant Adopters
The main objective of this study was to assess whether hesitancy toward receiving the initial COVID-19 vaccine was associated with uptake of the COVID-19 booster several months after it became available to all US adults. We ask whether hesitancy toward the initial COVID-19 vaccine was significantly associated with lower odds of COVID-19 booster uptake among adults. We test this association within the context of the highly rural state of Arkansas.…
Prevalence and associations between food insecurity and overweight/obesity among native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adolescents
Objective: This study estimates the prevalence of, and associations between, family food insecurity and overweight/obesity among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) adolescents and explores socio-demographic factors which might have a moderation effect on the association. Design: Cross-sectional study using 2014 NHPI-National Health Interview Survey data reported by a parent or guardian. Family-level food security was assessed by the US D…
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Diabetes Prevention Program Interventions for Overweight/Obese Marshallese Adults
This study compared the effectiveness of two Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) interventions on weight loss among overweight and obese Marshallese adults. The study was a two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial conducted in 30 churches in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Marshallese adults with a body mass index ≥25 kg/m 2 were eligible for the study. The study sample included 380 participants. Participants received either a faith-based adaptation of t…

Covid-19 Death Exposure among Adults in the United States
As of May 17, 2022, more than a million deaths due to COVID-19 have been recorded in the US. For each COVID-19 death, there are an estimated nine bereaved family members and an unknown number of bereaved friends. This study aimed to assess the correlates of self-reported COVID-19 death exposure (i.e., loss of a close friend or family member) among US adults using online survey data ( n = 1,869) collected between September 17, 2021 and October 3, …
Covid‐19 vaccine hesitancy: Race/ethnicity, trust, and fear
Understanding and minimizing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine hesitancy is critical to population health and minimizing health inequities, which continue to be brought into stark relief by the pandemic. We investigate questions regarding vaccine hesitancy in a sample ( n = 1205) of Arkansas adults surveyed online in July/August of 2020. We examine relationships among sociodemographics, COVID‐19 health literacy, fear of COVID‐19 infecti…
Table Talk: Revision of an observational tool to characterize the feeding environment in early care and education settings
Overall, items added to the Table Talk tool performed well, and interrater reliability was favorable. Our study also documented differences between Lead and Assistant teachers in mealtime practices and illustrated differing patterns of interaction between lunches and breakfast, important findings to inform future research and practice. The TT-R may be a useful measurement tool for monitoring and evaluating ECET practices in mealtime environments …
Effects of Race and Poverty on Sleep Duration: Analysis of Patterns in the 2014 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey and General National Health Interview Survey Data
Adverse Childhood Experiences of Urban and Rural Preschool Children in Poverty
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have long-term health consequences. Young children in the southern part of the United States (US) are at greater risk than children in other parts of the US. This study assessed preschool children ACEs using a family-friendly tool, the Family Map (FMI), and compared children living in rural/urban areas while examining the potential moderation of race. The FMI-ACE score was examined as a total and two sub-score…
Models of Nonlinear Growth
Models for nonlinear growth are not new, but have not been widely applied in the social and behavioral sciences. In this essay, we describe the fundamental issues relevant to choosing and using a nonlinear growth model. We discuss how researchers can go about choosing a model and then focus on the application of two specific nonlinear models: the fractional polynomial model and the piecewise model. We highlight recent work in reparameterization t…
An Examination of the Heterosexism Scale
Researchers explored the factor structure of Park's Heterosexism Scale (2001) with heterosexual parents of lesbian, gay, or bisexual sons or daughters. Results suggested a two-factor solution, but results varied from Park's two-factor model. Additionally, relations between the Heterosexism Scale subscales and measures of cognitive flexibility, religious commitment, and general family functioning were examined. Implications for clinical practice a…
Modeling Time-Dependent Association in Longitudinal Data: A Lag as Moderator Approach
We describe a straightforward, yet novel, approach to examine time-dependent association between variables. The approach relies on a measurement-lag research design in conjunction with statistical interaction models. We base arguments in favor of this approach on the potential for better understanding the associations between variables by describing how the association changes with time. We introduce a number of different functional forms for des…
Advantages of Monte Carlo Confidence Intervals for Indirect Effects
Monte Carlo simulation is a useful but underutilized method of constructing confidence intervals for indirect effects in mediation analysis. The Monte Carlo confidence interval method has several distinct advantages over rival methods. Its performance is comparable to other widely accepted methods of interval construction, it can be used when only summary data are available, it can be used in situations where rival methods (e.g., bootstrapping an…
The Self-Report Family Inventory: An Exploratory Factor Analysis
Researchers explored the factor structure of the Self-Report Family Inventory with a sample of heterosexual parents who have a son or daughter who self-identifies as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Results suggest that a two-factor solution is appropriate. Research and clinical implications are offered
Mediation Models for Longitudinal Data in Developmental Research
Mediation models are used to describe the mechanism(s) by which one variable influences another. These models can be useful in developmental research to explicate the relationship between variables, developmental processes, or combinations of variables and processes. In this article we describe aspects of mediation effects specific to developmental research. We focus on three central issues in longitudinal mediation models: the theory of change f…
Assessing Mothers' and Fathers' Authoritarian Attitudes: The Psychometric Properties of a Brief Survey
This study used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the structure and factor loadings of an authoritarian parenting scale. The study used data from 315 married couples who had toddlers participating in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project located in 14 communities across the United States. The sample was diverse and consisted largely of white, African American, and Hispanic low-income parents. The results indicate that the aut…
New developments in latent variable panel analyses of longitudinal data
We review fundamental issues in one traditional structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to analyzing longitudinal data — cross-lagged panel designs. We then discuss a number of new developments in SEM that are applicable to analyzing panel designs. These issues include setting appropriate scales for latent variables, specifying an appropriate null model, evaluating factorial invariance in an appropriate manner, and examining both direct and i…
