Food insecurity and hypertension prevalence, awareness, and control in the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network Study
Limited evidence exists on the association between food insecurity (FI) and the hypertension care cascade in the Caribbean despite the high burden of both. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between FI and hypertension prevalence, awareness, and control in the Eastern Caribbean. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data (2013–2018) from the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network Cohort Study (n =…
Caribbean data-sharing initiatives
The dissemination of biomedical research data beyond academia remains limited. In response, funding agencies now regularly require that the projects they fund make research data openly available for reuse. This emerging open data movement aims to democratize data access, often guided by the FAIR data technical standards, requiring that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Recently, participant communities have advocate…
Risk factors for household food insecurity in the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network cohort study
Background: Globally, 1.3 billion people were considered food insecure as of 2022. In the Caribbean region, the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity was 71.3% as of 2020, the highest of all subregions in Latin America. Experienced based measurement scales, like the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale, are efficient measurement tools of food insecurity used globally. The Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (…
The Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (Echorn) Cohort Study
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for a higher proportion of mortality and morbidity in the Caribbean and US territories-majority-minority communities-than in the United States or Canada. Strategies to address this disparity include enhancing data collection efforts among racial/ethnic communities. The ECHORN Cohort Study (ECS), a regional adult cohort study, estimates prevalence and assesses risk factors for NCDs in two United States terri…
Development of the Anthropometric Grouping Index for the Eastern Caribbean Population Using the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (Echorn) Cohort Study Data
Improving public health initiative requires an accurate anthropometric index that is better suited to a specific community. In this study, the anthropometric grouping index is proposed as a more efficient and discriminatory alternative to the popular BMI for the Eastern Caribbean population. A completely distribution-free cluster analysis was performed to obtain the 11 categories, leading to AGI-11. Further, we studied these groups using novel no…
A qualitative analysis of text message conversations in a breastfeeding peer counselling intervention
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) breastfeeding peer counselling (BFPC) program supports optimal early life nutrition by providing evidenced-based breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support. The Lactation Advice Through Texting Can Help (LATCH) study was a randomized controlled trial that tested the effectiveness of a text messaging intervention designed to augment the BFPC program. The purpose…
Phenotypes of Hypertensive Ambulatory Blood Pressure Patterns
Assessment of ABPM, and the contextual factors influencing ABPM, can identify unique phenotypes of HTN, which can then be used to develop more precision-based approaches to the prevention, detection and treatment of HTN in high-risk populations
An assessment of the social cognitive predictors of exclusive breastfeeding behavior using the Health Action Process Approach
Healthy Eating for Life English as a second language curriculum
We conducted a pre-post feasibility trial of Healthy Eating for Life, a theory-based, multimedia English as a second language curriculum that integrates content about healthy nutrition into an English language learning program to decrease cancer health disparities. Teachers in 20 English as a second language classrooms delivered Healthy Eating for Life to 286 adult English as a second language students over one semester. Postintervention data are…
Examining the use of message tailoring to promote physical activity among medically underserved adults
The purpose of this study was to examine if messages tailored to an individual's regulatory focus (i.e. their tendency to focus on prevention or promotion) increased exercise intentions and behavior in a medically underserved sample. Adult English as a Second Language students ( N = 58) were presented with tailored exercise messages. There was a significant main effect for message type; participants who received promotion messages reported greate…
Formative Research for a Community-Based Message-Framing Intervention
Community-based health communication interventions must address neighborhood realities, the literacy levels of the target population, and existing networks of providers and consumers
A Review of Acculturation Measures and Their Utility in Studies Promoting Latino Health
The authors reviewed the acculturation literature with the goal of identifying measures used to assess acculturation in Hispanic populations in the context of studies of health knowledge, attitudes, and behavior change. Twenty-six acculturation measures were identified and summarized. As the Hispanic population continues to grow in the United States, there is a need to develop rigorous acculturation measures that include health indicators. Findin…
Compensated Sex and Sexual Risk
This study describes the complex dynamics of the sexual, economic and social interactions between a group of feminized homosexual men and men who have sex with men and self-identify as heterosexual (` mostaceros'), in lower-income peripheral urban areas of Lima and Trujillo, Peru. The study examined sexual risk between these two groups of men, and the significance of the economic exchanges involved in their sexual interactions. Using a Grounded T…
