Correlates of Mammogram Screening Among Brazilian Immigrant Women in the United States
Program Outcomes from a Novel Outreach Network to Increase Breast Cancer Screening Uptake in Washington, DC
After the COVID-19 pandemic, racial and ethnic minority groups experienced disproportionate delays in returning to breast cancer. The GW Cancer Center's Community Outreach and Engagement team developed a novel Neighborhood Health Ambassador (NHA) network to increase knowledge and access to breast cancer screening in the Washington, DC metropolitan region. First, we recruited NHAs to complete a paid 100-h Community Health Worker (CHW) training and…
Prevalence and characteristics of post-acute sequelae of Covid-19 in recovered patients
Introduction: Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, has emerged as a major public health concern following the COVID-19 pandemic. Although initially perceived as a respiratory illness, growing biomedical evidence confirms that COVID-19 affects multiple organ systems. This study aimed to explore the clinical manifestations, risk factors, and long-term outcomes associated with long COVID and to identify patients at …
Exploring the Vision of an Equitable Prostate Cancer Care Delivery System
Prostate cancer presents a pressing public health challenge in the United States and disproportionately affects Black men. Despite efforts to address these disparities, equitable access to timely diagnosis and optimal treatment remains elusive for many Black men. Using focus group discussions, the researchers aimed to understand what constitutes equitable cancer care and identify tools needed by Black men for equitable navigation of prostate canc…
Then, Now, Next
This paper examines the evolving trajectory of the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), tracing their development from early observational studies to contemporary, interdisciplinary frameworks that emphasize structural inequities and relational dynamics. It explores foundational milestones such as the Whitehall studies, the Heckler Report, and the World Health Organization's conceptual models, which positioned SDOH as key drivers of population h…
Evaluating a Virtual Flipped Classroom Approach to Nurse Practitioner Telehealth Competency Development
Background: Evidence supports the use of multi-modal approaches to develop nurse practitioner (NP) students' telehealth competency. Method: A virtual flipped classroom approach that included eLearning, interactive webinars, and virtual standardized patient (SP) simulations was implemented and evaluated to teach NP students to use telehealth and other connected health technologies to improve care for underserved populations. Results: Analysis of d…

Assessing health professionals’ perception of health literacy in Rhode Island community health centers
Study findings suggest that strategies may need to be implemented at the organizational-, provider-, and patient- level to advance health literacy. The intervention phase of this project will explore intervention strategies informed by study results, and could include offering health literacy training to providers and staff to increase their understanding of health literacy to include motivation to make and act on healthy decisions and strategies…
Brazilian Immigrant Parents' Awareness of HPV and the HPV Vaccine and Interest in Participating in Future HPV-Related Cancer Prevention Study
Exploring How the Home Environment Influences Eating and Physical Activity Habits of Low-Income, Latino Children of Predominantly Immigrant Families
This study provides information about how the home environment may influence low-income Latino preschool children’s eating and PA habits, which may be useful for health promotion and disease prevention efforts targeting low-income Latino families with young children, and for developing home-based and parenting interventions to prevent and control childhood obesity among this population group. Pediatric healthcare providers can play an important r…
A qualitative study conducted in the USA exploring Latino fathers’ beliefs, attitudes and practices related to their young children’s eating, physical activity and sedentary behaviours
Objective Increasing evidence documents fathers’ influential role in their children’s eating, physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviours (SB). We aimed to expand limited existing research examining fathers’ influence in these areas by exploring Latino fathers’ beliefs, attitudes and practices related to eating, PA and SB of their young children. Design Seven focus group discussions were conducted in Spanish with Latino fathers ( n 28) of chi…
A qualitative study of barriers and enablers associated with colorectal cancer screening among Somali men in Minnesota
The rate of cancer screening is generally increasing in the US. In Minnesota, the statewide average rate of screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) is 73%. However, screening completion is relatively low among Somali men; overall, only 27% of Somali immigrants have been screened for CRC. Factors contributing to this disparity have not been well researched. The purpose of this pilot study was to employ focus group methodology to describe and advance…
A Restorative Yoga Intervention for African-American Breast Cancer Survivors
Depressive Symptoms and Length of U.S. Residency Are Associated with Obesity among Low-Income Latina Mothers
Latinos are the largest minority population group in the United States (U.S.), and low-income Latina women are at elevated risk of depression and obesity. Thus, the prevention of these two problems is a pressing public health concern in this population. Both depressive symptoms and obesity are modifiable factors that can be addressed by culturally relevant interventions. However, the association between depressive symptoms and obesity in Latina i…
Patient–Provider Communication and Counseling about Gestational Weight Gain and Physical Activity
Latina women in the United States (U.S.) are disproportionately affected by obesity and are more likely to begin pregnancy overweight and gain excessive weight during pregnancy. The prenatal care period represents a window of opportunity for women to access the healthcare system and receive preventive services, education, nutritional support, and other social services to improve pregnancy outcomes. Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) has nume…
Latino parents’ perceptions of the eating and physical activity experiences of their pre-school children at home and at family child-care homes
Objective Research indicates that healthful eating and physical activity (PA) practices implemented in child-care settings can have a positive effect on children’s healthful behaviours in this setting, and this effect on healthful behaviours may possibly transfer to the home environment. While more research is needed to examine whether behaviours learned in family child-care homes (FCCH) transfer, the potential for transferability is especially i…
