Factors Associated with Trust and Likelihood of Participation in Pandemic-Related Clinical Trials Among Blacks in the U.S. Deep South
Recruitment for clinical trials among Black populations in the U.S. Deep South is challenging due to general distrust of medical research. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this phenomenon at a time when distrust of the medical community was high. This study evaluated the likelihood of participation in a COVID-19 clinical trial among Black residents in urban and rural counties in the State of Alabama. From 3 counties, 296 participants were querie…
Development and Implementation of Informational Toolkits to Address Inequities in Covid-19 Testing
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected African American communities. Informational toolkits have emerged as a strategy to address such inequities. Community-driven approaches to toolkit design may enhance their relevance and impact in underserved communities. Methods: Using a human-centered design approach, we developed COVID-19 testing toolkits tailored to health care, faith-based, and public housing settings in rural and …
A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate a Community-Based Healthy Eating and Nutrition Label Interpretation Intervention Among Latinx Immigrant Mothers and Their Daughters
Factors Associated with Perceived Susceptibility to Covid-19 Among Urban and Rural Adults in Alabama
Willingness of Latinx and African Americans to Participate in Nontherapeutic Trials
If asked, rural and urban AA and Latinx healthy volunteers were willing to participate in health-related research, with personal doctors and university hospitals considered the most trusted sources to encourage/conduct research
Latinx Immigrant Mothers’ Perceived Self-Efficacy and Intentions Regarding Human Papillomavirus Vaccination of Their Daughters
Confronting Covid-19 in under-resourced, African American neighborhoods
Gaining community members' perspectives can identify barriers and facilitators to prevention, coping, and testing and potentially improve outcomes. While addressing the social determinants of health (e.g. income, education, medical trust) would be an effective path by which to diminish health disparities related to COVID-19, there is an urgent need to mitigate the spread and severity of COVID-19 in vulnerable populations. Interventions should foc…
Social Risk Factors for Medication Nonadherence
Objectives: Nonadherence to medications has been documented, but the combined effect of social risk factors on medication nonadherence has not been investigated. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, a population-based prospective cohort. The sample (N = 1506) included subjects who at Year 20 (2005-06) were taking prescription medications and completed a …
Using photovoice to explore social determinants of obesity in two underserved communities in the southeast
Over the past 25 years, the adult obesity rate in the U.S. has increased 70%, with obesity placing a disproportionate chronic disease burden on African Americans. Using Photovoice methodology, this study aimed to: (1) explore the social determinants contributing to obesity from the perspectives of residents of two low-income municipalities in Birmingham, Alabama with varying levels of segregation, (2) better understand residents' perceptions of c…
Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don't
Willpower, as demonstrated through diet and exercise, is constructed as the only acceptable strategy for losing weight. While weight loss surgery (WLS) is an option for morbidly obese individuals, like obesity itself, WLS carries stigma. Using a 40-item survey, we measured 101 participants' experiences with WLS stigma. We examined whether WLS is stigmatizing, how that stigma is perceived by patients, and tendencies to hide their surgery status in…
Maximizing children’s physical activity
An evaluability assessment was conducted to plan a community-based, multi-strategy approach to physical activity promotion (MSAPAP) to maximize young children's physical activity in an ethno-racially and socio-economically diverse city. This assessment involved consultation with various stakeholders to develop a program logic model to diagrammatically describe the MSAPAP. First, published literature regarding physical activity was reviewed to des…
