Description of Variation in Age of Onset of Functional Limitations of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders Compared to Other Racial and Ethnic Groups
(1) Background: The purpose of this exploratory study was to describe variation in age of onset of functional limitations of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) compared to other racial and ethnic groups. (2) Methods: Adults age 45 years and older who responded to the Functioning and Disability module within the 2014 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were included ( n = 628 NHPI; 7122 non-Hispanic Whites; 1418 Blacks; 470 Asians; a…
Examining the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy for Exercise Among Overweight and Obese Marshallese Adults
Food insecurity and depression among low-income adults in the USA
Objective: Food insecurity is associated with a greater risk of depression among low-income adults in the USA. Members of food-insecure households have lower diet diversity than their food-secure counterparts. This study examined whether diet diversity moderates the association between food insecurity and depression. Design: Multiple logistic regression was conducted to examine independent associations between food insecurity and depression, betw…
Associations between physical activity and functional limitations in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander middle-aged and older adults in the United States
PA is associated with function in this adult NHPI population. Aerobic guidelines alone may be more beneficial than meeting the strengthening guideline alone; however, meeting both the aerobic and strengthening guidelines is most protective against FL

Geographic Hotspots for Low Birthweight
This study evaluated persistency in county-level rates of low birthweight outcomes to identify "hotspot counties" and their associated area-level characteristics. Administrative data from the National Center for Health Statistics Birth Data Files, years 2011 to 2016 were used to calculate annual county-level rates of low birthweight. Counties ranking in the worst quintile (Q5) for ≥3 years with a neighboring county in the worst quintile were iden…
County-level Variation in Low Birthweight and Preterm Birth
BACKGROUND: Rates of low birthweight and prematurity vary 2-fold across states in the United States, with increased rates among states with higher concentrations of racial minorities. Medicaid expansion may serve as a mechanism to reduce geographic variation within states that expanded, by improving health and access to care for vulnerable populations. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify the association of Medicaid expansion wi…
The Effect of Family Diabetes Self-management Education on Self-care Behaviors of Marshallese Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Objectives: In this study, we assessed the effect of Family Diabetes Self-Management Educa- tion (DSME) intervention on changes in self-care behaviors among Marshallese adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Marshallese adults (N = 211) with type 2 diabetes were randomized to a Family DSME intervention or a Standard DSME intervention. We assessed changes in diabetes- related self-care behaviors from baseline to 12 months within and between study a…

Sources of Information for Home and Community-Based Services
Responses (N = 621) from a population-based statewide random digit dial telephone survey were analyzed to determine the sources of information respondents would use to locate home and community-based long-term care services and to identify predictors of use of each source. Respondents turn to formal sources of information more than informal sources, and age, race, income, and gender significantly predicted the source of information used. Findings…
Public Health Professionals as Policy Entrepreneurs
In response to a nationwide rise in obesity, several states have passed legislation to improve school health environments. Among these was Arkansas's Act 1220 of 2003, the most comprehensive school-based childhood obesity legislation at that time. We used the Multiple Streams Framework to analyze factors that brought childhood obesity to the forefront of the Arkansas legislative agenda and resulted in the passage of Act 1220. When 3 streams (prob…
