Pilot study demonstrating effectiveness of targeted education to improve informed consent understanding in Aids clinical trials
Assessing and improving informed consent understanding is equally important as obtaining consent from participants in clinical trial research, but developing interventions to target gaps in participants' informed consent understanding remains a challenge. We used a randomized controlled study design to pilot test an educational intervention to improve actual informed consent understanding of new enrollees in the Adult AIDS Clinical Trial Group (A…
Socio-demographic and Aids-related factors associated with tuberculosis stigma in southern Thailand
These results suggest that approaches addressing the dual TB/HIV epidemic may be needed to combat TB stigma and that simply correcting misconceptions about TB may have limited effects
How Researchers Define Vulnerable Populations in HIV/Aids Clinical Trials
Barriers and facilitators to HIV testing and linkage to primary care
Persons with unrecognized HIV infection forgo timely clinical intervention and may unknowingly transmit HIV to partners. However, in the USA, unrecognized infection and late diagnosis are common. To understand barriers and facilitators to HIV testing and care, we conducted a qualitative study of 24 HIV infected persons attending a Southeastern HIV clinic who presented with clinically advanced illness. The primary barrier to HIV testing prior to d…
Social support and delays seeking care after HIV diagnosis, North Carolina, 2000–2006
Many adults in the USA enter primary care late in the course of HIV infection, countering the clinical benefits of timely HIV services and missing opportunities for risk reduction. Our objective was to determine if perceived social support was associated with delay entering care after an HIV diagnosis. Two hundred and sixteen patients receiving primary care at a large, university-based HIV outpatient clinic in North Carolina were included in the …
Oral Cancer Knowledge and Examination Experiences Among North Carolina Adults
Although there is moderate knowledge of signs and risk factors for oral cancer among North Carolina adults, knowledge deficits remain. Oral cancer examinations need to be increased, particularly among tobacco smokers
What Can the Elderly Do to Protect Themselves From the Flu in Addition to Getting a Flu Vaccination
In their article “Racial/Ethnic Differences in Influenza Vaccination Coverage,” Egede and Zheng highlighted the fact that, even though flu vaccine use has improved over time, racial/ethnic inequalities continue to persist. Blacks are less likely than Whites to be vaccinated, particularly in the age group 65 years and older.1 Furthermore, the authors emphasized greater patient–provider communication to improve vaccination rates among Black America…
Perceived Oral Health Status, Unmet Needs, and Barriers to Dental Care Among HIV/Aids Patients in a North Carolina Cohort
Disparities exist within this HIV-infected population in oral symptoms, utilization patterns, and perceived unmet dental need. Targeted interventions that address barriers to care are needed to help establish preventive dental care patterns in this region, especially among blacks
The Role of Community Advisory Boards
Ethical research involving human subjects mandates that individual informed consent be obtained from research participants or from surrogates when participants are not able to consent for themselves. The existing requirements for informed consent assume that all study participants have personal autonomy; fully comprehend the purpose, risks, and benefits of the research; and volunteer for projects that disclose all relevant information. Yet contem…
What Is Community? An Evidence-Based Definition for Participatory Public Health
Increased emphasis on community collaboration indicates the need for consensus regarding the definition of community within public health. This study examined whether members of diverse US communities described community in similar ways. To identify strategies to support community collaboration in HIV vaccine trials, qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 African Americans in Durham, NC; 26 gay men in San Francisco, Calif; 25 injection dru…
Prevalence of HIV‐associated Periodontitis and Chronic Periodontitis in a Southeastern US Study Group
HIV-infected persons in this study group from North Carolina exhibited severe and extensive measures of adult periodontitis. A small proportion experienced a severe form of HIV-P, which was attenuated by antiretroviral therapy
Differences between Racial Groups in the Impact of Oral Disorders among Older Adults in North Carolina
Older dentate blacks reported more impact from oral problems than older dentate whites. The differences in reported impact likely are linked to differences in oral status and dental visit history between these two racial groups in North Carolina
Cognitive and attitudinal impacts of a university Aids course
This paper describes an interdisciplinary, variable credit-bearing university course on acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that enrolled 429 students. Pre- and post-course questionnaires were used to assess knowledge and attitudes relative to AIDS and these were compared to National Health Interview Survey findings. Considerable cognitive and attitudinal changes occurred over the course period. University courses, taught annually, were fou…
Disabled adults in sheltered employment
In this dental survey of a multi-disability sheltered industry, 233 adults were examined. When compared to adjusted North Carolina values, the workers exhibited poorer oral hygiene with higher rates and severity of periodontal disease. DMF-T totals were equal to those statewide; however, workers had more decayed and fewer missing teeth. Significant unmet restorative and prosthodontic needs were found. Treatment cost estimates at 1983 fees were $4…
Sociocultural influences upon preventive health behavior and attitudes towards dentistry
One hundred eighty adults who presented for general dental care at an urban dental school clinic were interviewed and given epidemiological screening examinations. The findings presented include a profile of a clinic population with respect to ethnic identity, family income, education, nuclear family structure, and residence. The two major racial groups (black and white) are found to have highly significant differences in their perception of dent…
