Community Coalitions Implementing and Sustaining Policy, Systems and Environment Strategies for Rural Health Equity
121) revealed that implementation barriers included challenges with staff and partner transitions, and lack of capacity and resources. Staff engagement, community rapport and partner-provided resources facilitated the implementation of strategies across several coalitions, highlighting the important role partnerships and community buy-in have with community-based PSE implementation approaches. At Year 5, among nine coalitions who provided sustain…
Understanding the Role of Trust in Healthcare and Intentions to Pursue Live Donor Kidney Transplant Among African American End Stage Kidney Disease Patients
Understanding the relationship between social capital, health, and well‐being in a southern rural population
PURPOSE: Social capital is thought to contribute to health and well-being, but its application to a rural context is poorly understood. This study seeks to examine how different forms of social capital relate to health and well-being among rural residents and the extent to which race and degree of rurality moderates these relationships. METHODS: Data from a population-based survey of 6 counties in rural Georgia (n = 1,385) are used. We examined 3…
Evaluation Design for The Two Georgias Initiative
As persistent inequities in health gained increased attention nationally due to COVID-19 and racial justice protests in 2020, it has become increasingly important to evaluate both the process and outcomes associated with coalition-based efforts to address health inequities. The Two Georgias Initiative supports coalitions in 11 rural counties to (1) achieve greater health equity, (2) improve health and health care, (3) build healthier rural commun…
Exploring dimensions of social capital in relation to healthy eating behaviours in the US rural south
Objective: This study examined relationships between dimensions of social capital (SC) (social trust, network diversity, social reciprocity and civic engagement) and fruit, vegetable, and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among rural adults. Potential moderators (neighbourhood rurality, food security, gender and race/ethnicity) were explored to develop a more nuanced understanding of the SC–healthy eating relationship. Design: Data were …
Determinants of food preparation and hygiene practices among caregivers of children under two in Western Kenya
Food hygiene is an underexplored, but potentially critical, behavior to mitigate fecal pathogen exposure for young children. Our study revealed several knowledge and opportunity barriers that could be integrated into interventions to enhance food hygiene
Impact of a demand-side integrated Wash and nutrition community-based care group intervention on behavioural change
INTRODUCTION: Growth shortfalls and diarrhoeal diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low-income settings. Due to the multifaceted causes of undernutrition and the identified limitations of siloed nutrition programmes, improving the delivery of integrated water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and nutrition programming could improve child health. METHODS: We conducted a cluster randomised trial in western Kenya to assess the impac…
Understanding the pros and cons of organ donation decision-making
Increasing public commitment to organ donation is critical to improving donor kidney availability for end-stage renal disease patients desiring transplant. This study surveyed ( N = 1339) African Americans, measuring perceived pros relative to cons of organ donation, to evaluate an existing Transtheoretical Model decisional balance scale and associations between decisional balance and expressing donation intentions. Findings supported the existin…
Race, Racism, and Access to Renal Transplantation among African Americans
There are clear and compelling racial disparities in access to renal transplant, which is the therapy of choice for many patients with end stage renal disease. This paper conceptualizes the role of racism (i.e., internalized, personally-mediated, and institutionalized) in creating and perpetuating these disparities at multiple levels of the social ecology by integrating two often-cited theories in the literature. Internalized racism is manifested…
Population-Attributable Risk Percentages for Racialized Risk Environments
Research about relationships between place characteristics and racial/ethnic inequities in health has largely ignored conceptual advances about race and place within the discipline of geography. Research has also almost exclusively quantified these relationships using effect estimates (e.g., odds ratios), statistics that fail to adequately capture the full impact of place characteristics on inequities and thus undermine our ability to translate r…
Collateral consequences
While studies have found correlations between rates of incarceration and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), few studies have explored the mechanisms linking these phenomena. This qualitative study examines how male incarceration rates and sex ratios influence perceived partner availability and sexual partnerships for heterosexual Black women. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 Black women living in two US neighbourhoods, one w…
Understanding the relationship between social support and physical and mental well-being among jail detainees living with HIV
Inmates face a disproportionate burden of HIV. This study sought to explore the relationship between social support and physical and mental well-being and the possibility that housing stability moderates this relationship among jail detainees living with HIV. Data for this cross-sectional analysis come from 438 clients who underwent a structured interview. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between social support and both types …

Minority Stress in the Lives of Men Who Have Sex With Men in Cape Town, South Africa
The mental health outcomes of men who have sex with men (MSM) living in sub-Saharan Africa are understudied, despite evidence that discrimination and stigma are widespread. This article examines the occurrence and mental health effects of minority stress in a sample of diverse South African MSM. Twenty-two MSM living in Cape Town took part in exploratory qualitative in-depth interviews and completed mental health questionnaires. Results indicate …
Strategies to enhance linkages between care for HIV/Aids in jail and community settings
The policies of mass incarceration and the expansion of the criminal justice system in the USA over the last 40 years have weighed heavily on individuals and communities impacted by drug use and HIV disease. Though less than ideal, jails provide a unique opportunity to diagnose, treat and implement effective interventions. The role of jails in HIV detection, treatment, and continuity of care, however, has yet to be systematically examined. This p…
Residential Racial Composition, Spatial Access to Care, and Breast Cancer Mortality among Women in Georgia
Exploring the “Bisexual Bridge”
Objectives. We explored factors influencing sexual behavior, disclosure of same-sex behavior, and condom-use practices among Black bisexual men. Methods. We conducted semistructured interviews with 38 Black men in Atlanta, Georgia, who reported having had oral, vaginal, or anal sex with both men and women in the prior 6 months. Results. Participants described approaches to disclosure of same-sex behavior as part of a complex decisional balance in…
Reliability and Validity of the Alcohol Consequences Expectations Scale
This study supports the reliability of the ACES and its subscales and provides preliminary evidence of construct and criterion-related validity. Pending further investigation, this scale may be used to inform the development of alcohol abuse prevention programs on college campuses
Male Prisoners and HIV Prevention
US prison inmates are disproportionately indigent young men of color. These individuals are severely affected by HIV/AIDS, largely owing to the high-risk behavior that they engage in prior to incarceration. Researchers and practitioners have issued a call for the importance of offering HIV prevention services in prison settings. However, this call has largely been ignored. In this article, we outline reasons why these recommendations have been la…
Understanding the Role of Clergy in African American Organ and Tissue Donation Decision-Making
African American clergy and religious leaders may play an important role towards improving willingness to donate among African American parishioners, but more education and advocacy is needed to prepare them for this role
Tobacco Use among Native Hawaiian Middle School Students
Additional research is needed to understand what aspects of ethnic identity are associated with smoking behavior among Native Hawaiian youth. The strong influence of peer and parental smoking suggests the need for interventions that support the creation of social environments that discourage tobacco use
Black Students on White Campuses
This article conceptualizes Black students' adaptation to a predominantly White institution in terms of a model of acculturation that includes one orientation toward maintaining the cultural heritage and identity of one's own group and a second one tapping relations with the majority group. This approach acknowledges that acculturation need not entail exchanging one's cultural heritage for a new one. The present research developed an instrument t…
Debunking the Myth of the Safe Haven
Health Disparities and Incarcerated Women
I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.... When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination—indeed, everything and anything except me.…
Braithwaite and Arriola Respond
Mandatory HIV testing is a double-edged sword—you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. As African American scientists living in the United States, we have observed that racial, gender, class, and age discrimination continues to be an integral part of the American fabric. The current research literature documents the fact that racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately overrepresented in the US correctional system (prisons, jails…
