Exploring perceptions of implementation practice capacity in community‐based behavioral health organizations
Community‐based organizations (CBOs) must have the capacity to adopt, implement, and sustain evidence‐based practices (EBPs). However, limited research exists examining CBOs' ability/capacity to implement EBPs. The purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate how staff of CBOs perceive implementation practice capacity, determine factors needed for adequate capacity for implementing EBPs, and examine which perspectives of capacity are shar…
The Intersection of Problems, Policy, and Politics
Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections can cause cancer (e.g., cervical/vaginal/penile/anal/oropharyngeal). The HPV vaccine prevents cancer, yet U.S. vaccination rates remain low. We explored sociopolitical factors in the adoption of Puerto Rico’s HPV vaccine school-entry requirement. Multiple streams framework explains how the intersection of problems, policy, and politics streams influence policy adoption. Policy entrepreneurs work on…
“You Have to Control It However You Can”
Latino farmworkers carry a disproportionate burden of type 2 diabetes and face numerous challenges to accessing health care. This research explores beliefs about disease causality, self-management practices, and barriers to diabetes care among diabetics in a Mexican farmworking community in Florida. Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted utilizing free list elicitation, open-ended questions, and closed-ended demographic questions. Parti…
Hispanic Male Cancer Survivors’ Coping Strategies
Cancer survivors manage their new status using a multitude of coping mechanisms. Coping strategies vary by individual, but are also socioculturally mediated. Scarce evidence on coping strategies adopted by Hispanic male cancer survivors (HMCS) is available to date. The purpose of this study was to explore the reaction to diagnosis and subsequent coping strategies employed by HMCS. Data were gathered through focus groups ( n = 18), cognitive inter…
Simple and easy
Objective : Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening efforts have effectively reduced CRC morbidity and mortality, yet screening remains relatively low among Latinos. The study's purpose was to document the awareness/knowledge of Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) among Latinos, gain better understanding of patient and health care provider perceptions about FIT, and explore the feasibility of adoption/uptake. Design/Methods : The study was guided by qualit…
Cancer is in style
Introduction : There is a paucity of information on cancer among Indigenous populations in Latin America. Methods : Guided by tenets of community engaged research and syndemic theory, we conducted eight focus groups ( n = 59) with Kichwa men and women in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador. Data were analyzed using applied thematic analysis techniques. Results : Cancer emerged as an important health problem and was reported as a growing concern. Ki…
Understanding the supportive care needs of Hispanic men cancer survivors
Study findings contribute to the literature by presenting the supportive care needs of HMCS and illustrate the need for continued research to address disparities in access to cancer information and in the provision of culturally sensitive care. We provide recommendations and suggestions to address the supportive care needs of HMCS
Perceptions of Depression and Access to Mental Health Care Among Latino Immigrants
Compared with non-Latino Whites, Latino immigrants have a lower prevalence of depression. However, they are also less likely to seek professional mental health services. Our objective was to compare and contrast perceptions of depression and access to mental health care among four of the largest Latino immigrant subgroups in Florida (Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, and Colombian). We conducted a total of 120 interviews (30 men and women from each s…
A Social Network Analysis Approach to Understand Changes in a Cancer Disparities Community Partnership Network
The Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TBCCN) is one of the Community Network Program sites funded (2005-10) by the National Cancer Institute's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. TBCCN was tasked to form a sustainable, community-based partnership network focused on the goal of reducing cancer health disparities among racial-ethnic minority and medically underserved populations. This article reports evaluation outcome results from a soci…
Using social network analysis to evaluate community capacity building of a regional Community Cancer Network
The Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TBCCN) is one of 25 Community Network Programs funded by the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities with the objectives to create a collaborative infrastructure of academic and community based organizations and to develop effective and sustainable interventions to reduce cancer health disparities. In order to describe the network characteristics of the TBCCN as part o…
HPV Awareness Among Latina Immigrants and Anglo-american Women in the Southern United States
Latinas have higher cervical cancer age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates, and present with more advanced disease compared to non-Latino whites. This study used a cross-sectional mixed methods survey design, exploring knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding the human papillomavirus (HPV), the HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer screening with four groups of women (Mexican, Honduran, Puerto Rican, Anglo-American; n= 80) attending low-income …
