Associations Between Social Support, Social Control, and Stage of Change With Self-Reported and Objectively Assessed Physical Activity in Adult Latino Dyads
Health behaviors such as physical activity (PA) are socially influenced, such that individuals from shared social networks or living environments may exhibit similar habits. This cross-sectional study examined associations of social support, social control, and family member stage of change with moderate-to-vigorous self-reported and objective PA in dyads of adult Hispanic family members. We used the Godin Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionn…
Application of implementation mapping to develop strategies for integrating the National Diabetes Prevention Program into primary care clinics
Background: Diabetes is considered one of the most prevalent and preventable chronic health conditions in the United States. Research has shown that evidence-based prevention measures and lifestyle changes can help lower the risk of developing diabetes. The National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) is an evidence-based program recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; it is designed to reduce diabetes risk through in…
Motivation for weight loss among completers of a free community-based weight loss program in a US-Mexico border region
This study explores the perceptions and motivation for weight loss among participants who completed a free community-based weight loss program in a predominantly Hispanic and low-income region along the US-Mexico border using a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) perspective. This manuscript is timely as qualitative research on the effect of motivation as a factor in behavioral interventions to reduce overweight or obesity is currently lacking. Indiv…
Factors associated with meeting physical activity guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic
We found that perceived neighborhood safety, education and pet ownership were associated with meeting physical activity guidelines during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, but associations differed by income. These findings can inform targeted approaches to promoting physical activity during subsequent waves of COVID-19 or future pandemics
Exploration of Fatalism and Religiosity by Gender and Varying Levels of Engagement Among Mexican-American Adults of a Type 2 Diabetes Management Program
Objectives: Purpose of study is to explore the roles religiosity and fatalistic beliefs play in diabetes management among newly, currently, and long-term enrolled Mexican-American participants in a Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) chronic care management program. Methods: In 2017, study participants ( n = 15) completed a semi-structured interview in their preferred language (English or Spanish). Sample was stratified by amount of time individual h…
Facilitators and Barriers of a Chronic Care Management Intervention Addressing Diabetes Among Mexican-Origin Adults
BACKGROUND: Chronic care management (CCM) and community health worker (CHW) interventions hold promise for managing complex chronic conditions such as diabetes and related comorbidities. This qualitative study examines facilitators and barriers to the implementation of an expanded CCM intervention that explicitly incorporated program staff, clinic staff, CHWs, and partnerships with community-based organizations to enhance diabetes management amon…
The combined effect of physical activity and sedentary behavior on subclinical atherosclerosis
Our results indicate that for Mexican Americans, there is a combined effect of sedentary behavior and physical activity on presence of carotid plaque. Participating in moderate physical activity is optimal for having lower levels of carotid plaque in addition to avoiding excessive levels of TV/movie sitting (≥3 h/day) and/or total sitting (≥8.5 h/day)
Examining the Validity, Reliability, and Measurement Invariance of the Social Support for Exercise Scale Among Spanish- and English-Language Hispanics
The Social Support for Exercise Subscales are commonly used among Hispanic populations. The aims of this study were to test the validity and reliability of the Spanish-language version of the Social Support for Exercise Subscales and test the invariance of the Spanish- and English-language versions. Data were from a subsample of Hispanic adults in the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort ( n = 1,447). A series of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) mode…
Participants’ perceptions of interactions with community health workers who promote behavior change
Participants' perceptions indicated that positive personal changes were influenced by CHWs. Only participants who reported consistently poor scores for depression, anxiety or both reported negative or neutral experiences with the CHWs. This study lends qualitative support to the use of CHWs as extenders of care, particularly in areas that have a shortage of primary and mental health care providers
Exposure to a community-wide campaign is associated with physical activity and sedentary behavior among Hispanic adults on the Texas-Mexico border
The authors would like to add the following - "The authors would like to thank the staff and community partners who work to implement the activities of the community wide campaign. In particular we would like to thank Lisa Mitchell-Bennett, Vanessa Saldana, Jennifer Mota, Sister Phylis Peters and the team of community health workers at UT Health and Proyecto Juan Diego who were involved in planning and gathering data
Non-communicable diseases and preventive health behaviors
The lack of preventive health behaviors among Hispanics living along the US-Mexico border presents a dire prospect for NCD control in the region. Multipronged approaches to address multiple behaviors should be considered
Tu Salud, ¡ Si Cuenta
The association of depression and anxiety with glycemic control among Mexican Americans with diabetes living near the U.S.-Mexico border
Overall, depression and anxiety appear to be linked with poorer behavioral management of diabetes and glycemic control. Findings highlight the need for comprehensive interventions along the border which target depression and anxiety in conjunction with diabetes management
Anxiety, Depression, and Smoking Status Among Adults of Mexican Heritage on the Texas-Mexico Border
The goal of the current analysis is to examine relationships between smoking status and anxiety and depression among adults of Mexican heritage to inform the development of culturally relevant smoking cessations efforts. Mexican heritage residents ( N = 1,791) of the city of Brownsville, Texas, aged 18 years or older, enrolled in the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort, were selected through two stage cluster sampling of randomly selected census tract…
Social capital and disaster preparedness among low income Mexican Americans in a disaster prone area
Perceptions of Social Support, Empowerment and Youth Risk Behaviors
Physical activity and overweight among adolescents on the Texas-Mexico border
Nearly one-third of the students in both Matamoros and the LRGV are at risk for overweight or are overweight. Implementation of interventions on healthful dietary choices and participation in physical education classes and sports teams are essential for reducing the extremely high prevalence of overweight among students on both sides of the Texas/Mexico border
Predicting Adolescent Risk Behaviors Based on an Ecological Framework and Assets
Taking an ecological approach to the measurement of adolescent health behaviors contributes to our understanding of these risk behaviors
Aspects of Motivation of a Volunteer Aids Care Team Program
The South Carolina AIDS Care Team Program, directed by The Ecumenical AIDS Ministry, a component of the South Carolina Christian Action Council, provides emotional and supportive services to people living with HIV and AIDS. A sample of volunteer care team members participated in five focus groups as part of a process evaluation. Care teams were asked to participate based on years since training (new vs. experienced), race (white vs. African Ameri…
