Mapping Ethnic Enclaves for Health Disparities Research
Ethnic enclaves, as an area-level social determinant of health, have significant implications for understanding ethnic health disparities. While a growing body of literature examines the impacts of residing in ethnic enclaves on the health of co-ethnics, studies often map enclaves solely from population concentrations within individual census tract. This approach overlooks the spatial clustering of populations in adjacent census tracts and the pr…
Psychological Impact and Coping Strategies of Hispanic Parents of Children with Cancer
Throughout the cancer trajectory, parents of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) may experience mental and social challenges requiring continual adaptation to cancer-induced stress. Using Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping framework, this qualitative study aimed to describe Hispanic parents' psychological health and explore their coping strategies. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 15 Hispanic caregivers from a safe…

Community-based participatory research (CBPR)
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) answers the call for more patient-centered, community-driven research approaches to address growing health disparities. CBPR is a collaborative research approach that equitably involves community members, researchers, and other stakeholders in the research process and recognizes the unique strengths that each bring. The aim of CBPR is to combine knowledge and action to create positive and lasting soci…
Friendship networks and sun safety behavior among children
Social networks, particularly those defined by friendships, influence many childhood and adolescent health behaviors such as the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, as well as diet and physical activity. Few, if any, studies have examined the concordance between friendship networks and sun exposure/safety behaviors. This study examines the friendship networks and sun safety behaviors for a group of fourth and fifth grade students taking par…
A Comparison of American Indian and Non-Indian Fourth to Sixth Graders Rates of Drug Use
Although there is a large body of literature examining adolescent drug use, little is known about drug use rates among younger children. This paper presents such information for both American Indian and non-Indian fourth to sixth grade students for "having gotten drunk," the "use of marijuana," the "use of inhalants," and the use of "other" drugs over a 10-year period. Generally, the rates of use for Indian youth are higher, with a particularly h…
T-shirts, Testimony, and Truth
In the township of Crossroads, South Africa, a group of Xhosa women artists have created an extraordinary space of female agency and empowerment. This women's group, called the Philani Printing Project, has formed a place where art and feminist politics intersect with political action. This paper considers a series of five t-shirts that Philani artists created to testify to their individual experiences with violence. Worn in the tradition of the …
Gender Comparisons within Reenactment Costume
The purpose of the study was to explore why individuals dress in costume. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, the study extends Stone's theory of adultfantastic socialization and Eicher's framework of dress and the public, private, and secret self. The study also introduces the concept of afantasy‐prone personality within the study of dress. The Dressingfor Fun and Fantasy Questionnaire was developed and administered to 216 individuals wh…
The Discourse of Dress and Appearance
This article examines how identities are constructed and maintained via talk about personal dress and appearance. In this article, we introduce the concept of rhetoric of review, which is defined as the taken‐for‐granted rules that guide the evaluations of the appearances of self and others. Three basic components of a rhetoric of review are identified: moral precepts, program neutralizations, and review neutralizations. Data were derived from ei…
