A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study of a Youth-Led Digital Hypertension Education Intervention Among Parent–Youth Dyads
Involving youth in chronic disease health promotion with adults can benefit both adults and youth. In this mixed-methods pilot study, we explored the effects of a youth-led digital hypertension education intervention on knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior outcomes, as well as participant feedback, in parent-youth dyads. High school students (14+ years) paired themselves with an interested adult (18+ years) to create 19 adult-youth dyads. We im…
Developing an mHealth Intervention to Increase HPV Vaccine Confidence Among Black Families
Despite over 15 years of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination implementation, uptake remains below national targets. Black/African American adolescents are less likely to complete the HPV vaccine series, due to a myriad of multilevel factors including vaccine hesitancy. The objective of this study was to develop a tailored mHealth intervention to promote vaccine confidence among Black families with adolescents. We generated a message bank from …
Support Person Holding Back Information in Medical Interactions
Support people are often both physically and emotionally involved in patients’ cancer-care trajectories with first-hand knowledge of the patient’s health; they also harbor their own fears and concerns. When present in the medical interaction, support people report hesitancy to share patient information and concerns with clinicians, although they deem this information is important for patient care. Framed in the disclosure decision-making model, t…
Don't vape, nobody uses these poisonous sticks
Media literacy interventions are promising approaches to mitigate the harmful impact of media on substance use behaviors, including smoking and vaping. Some media literacy interventions adopt an interactive format, involving adolescents in the creation of counter messages that challenge pro-substance media narratives. However, research has largely focused on the impact of media literacy interventions on behaviors, leaving a critical gap in unders…
The Influence of Perceived Provider Empathic Communication on Disclosure Decision-Making
Provider empathy is a crucial component in establishing therapeutic provider–patient relationships. The benefits of increased perceptions of empathy can support patient psychological adjustment to their cancer as well as patients’ comfort and confidence in disclosing to providers, ultimately promoting patient engagement. Guided by the disclosure decision-making model, this manuscript explores how perceptions of empathy influence patient psycholog…
Engagement with Adolescent Substance Prevention Messages
This article reviews the development and testing of a youth substance prevention program, REAL media. The contributions of this body of research include theoretical development, measurement, and dissemination of an efficacious independently evaluated program. Special attention is given to the impact of the program through collaborations with multiple community groups and multiple phases of development and testing
Dilemmas and Strategy When Companion Participation During Appointments Differs from Patient and Companion Expectations
Cancer patients often attend medical interactions with at least one companion. The degree to which companions participate varies, ranging from passive observer to active advocate. However, the structure of the medical interaction often promotes dyadic rather than triadic communication, creating ambiguity about to the degree to which companions can and should participate. Participants (N = 34, 16 dyads) included gynecologic cancer patients who wer…
Aligned and Divergent Perceptions of Support Persons' Role in Triadic Gynecologic Cancer Communication
Health care providers routinely advise cancer patients to involve support persons in oncology care to fulfill critical support roles. This qualitative descriptive study explored alignment of triadic perceptions of support person involvement in oncology treatment visits and cancer-related care from the perspectives of patients with gynecologic cancer ( n = 18), regular visit-attending support people ( n = 16), and health care providers ( n = 10), …
We Cannot Have any Negativity
This study aimed to elucidate whether gynecologic cancer patients and their support persons have certain expectancies for emotion and whether these expectancies, if they exist, affect cancer-related communication. Semi-structured interviews ( N = 34) were conducted separately with 18 patients and one of their support persons ( n = 16). Thematic analysis revealed a subset of patients and support persons expected patients to not have any negative e…
Less harmful’? Exploring reactions to quantitative modified risk claims for snus and e-cigarettes
Quantitative claims suggesting high levels of reduced risk when comparing e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco/snus relative to cigarettes may be successful in gaining attention and being persuasive for some audiences, particularly, if from more credible sources. However, message developers, users and evaluators should be mindful of message limitations and aim to mitigate unintended consequences
Exploring indicators of engagement in online learning as applied to adolescent health prevention
Smokers’ and Young Adult Non-Smokers’ Perceptions and Perceived Impact of Snus and E-Cigarette Modified Risk Messages
Although no tobacco products are safe, tobacco companies in the United States may request regulatory authorization to make certain "modified risk tobacco product" (MRTP) claims in their marketing. However, few qualitative studies have explored consumer perceptions and understanding of comparative risk messages and wordings. We examined consumer perceptions of statements indicating reduced risks and exposure to chemicals from snus and e-cigarettes…
A Content Analysis of Unique Selling Propositions of Tobacco Print Ads
Whereas traditional tobacco product ads used USPs focused on themes of enjoyment and pleasure (eg, attractive for cigarettes, "high end product" for cigars), new and emerging tobacco product ads offered the unique benefit (USP) of their product being a better and "safer" alternative to traditional tobacco products. Snuff's USPs focused nearly exclusively on the masculinity of their products. Our results provide targets for potential tobacco regul…
Sociocultural experiences, body image, and indoor tanning among young adult women
The purpose of this survey study was to evaluate a model of body image influences on indoor tanning behavior. Participants were 823 young adult women recruited from a probability-based web panel in the United States. Consistent with our hypothesized model, tanning-related sociocultural experiences were indirectly associated with lifetime indoor tanning use and intentions to tan as mediated through tan surveillance and tan dissatisfaction. Finding…
Cancer Communication and Partner Burden
This exploratory article applies Communication Privacy Management theory to an examination of cancer-related open communication, topic avoidance, and partner burden from the perspectives of patients and their partners. 2 models were proposed: 1 model considered participants' communication behaviors, and the other considered partners' perspectives of the other's topic avoidance. Participants include 95 dyads in which 1 partner had been diagnosed a…
Indoor tanning addiction tendencies
This study explored the utility of mCAGE in identifying individuals who display tanning addiction tendencies and examined correlates of indoor tanning addiction tendencies including (a) demographic variables, (b) use patterns and future intentions, and (c) attitudinal and knowledge constructs in a young adult college sample. Participants (n = 587 undergraduate students at a large university in the North-Eastern United States) completed paper-and-…
Adolescent egocentrism and indoor tanning
This paper explored how imaginary audience and personal fable ideations contribute to adolescent indoor tanning intentions directly and indirectly through the way they shape pro-tanning attitude and association with peers who use tanning beds. Five hundred and ninety-five male ( n = 207) and female ( n = 387) adolescents, ranging in age from 11 to 19 ( M = 16.87; SD = 1.34) years completed a cross-sectional survey. Measures included imaginary aud…
Communication Efficacy and Couples' Cancer Management
The purpose of the present study was to apply Berg and Upchurch's (2007) developmental-conceptual model to understand better how couples cope with cancer. Specifically, we hypothesized a dyadic appraisal model in which proximal factors (relational quality), dyadic appraisal (prognosis uncertainty), and dyadic coping (communication efficacy) predicted adjustment (cancer management). The study was cross-sectional and included 83 dyads in which one …
The Brief Disclosure Intervention (BDI)
HIV+ African Americans face many challenges that may be addressed by increased social support. This manuscript presents the Brief Disclosure Intervention and explores strategies to tailor the intervention to facilitate disclosure, increase social support, and ameliorate health disparities among HIV+ African Americans. The disclosure decision-making model served as the theoretical framework. HIV+ African Americans (N = 43) in New Jersey participat…
Cognitive Rationalizations for Tanning-Bed Use
Findings indicate that cognitive rationalizations help explain discrepancy between inconsistent cognitions
“You can't tell anyone but …”
This three-part study examines how privacy rules function to protect shared information from further revelation. Communication Privacy Management served as a theoretical framework to investigate issues related to boundary management. In the pilot study, college students (N = 409) described privacy rules and their use, and participants reported not further revealing the information when privacy rules were expressed by disclosers. In Study 1, parti…

Analysis Versus Production
This study examined cognitive and attitudinal responses of adolescents to two inoculation-based media-literacy intervention approaches designed to reinforce adolescents’ attitudes against smoking. Participants were junior high students (sixth, seventh, and eighth grade) from schools in the northeast. Two kinds of experimental workshops and a control group were used in a repeated measure nonequivalent group experimental design. The two interventio…
Disease-Related Stigma
This study explores the prevalence of AIDS and cancer stigma as influenced by attitude toward homosexuality, religiosity, authoritarianism, and androgyny. This study used a quasi-experimental survey design (N = 485) to examine attitude toward people with AIDS and cancer, and interaction with people with AIDS and cancer. Negative attitudes toward homosexuality, high religious intensity and ideology, high authoritarianism, and low expressive emerge…

Perceived HIV-related Stigma and HIV Disclosure to Relationship Partners after Finding Out about the Seropositive Diagnosis
The present study examined how perceived HIV-related stigma (how much HIV-infected persons believe that the public stigmatizes someone with HIV) influences both reasons for and against HIV disclosure and self-reports of HIV disclosure to a friend, intimate partner and a parent. The research participants were 145 men and women living with HIV. They were asked to recall when they first learned about their HIV diagnosis. Then they indicated how much…
Domestic Violence in Lesbian Relationships
Increasingly, therapists and researchers have focused attention on domestic violence in lesbian relationships. To date, however, most research has described the incidence and types of physical violence and abuse. The present study sought to explore predictors of domestic violence in lesbian relationships. Lesbian participants filled out a survey measuring physical violence and physical aggression as well as relational and personality variables. R…

Interpersonalizing Aids
This article introduces the special issue on HIV and AIDS in the context of personal and social relationships. Four major themes are first highlighted: (i) the changing nature of HIV and AIDS to long-term, chronic illnesses; (ii) the importance of personal and social relationships for those living with these illnesses; (iii) the effects of these illnesses on the personal and social relationships of minorities and women, in particular; and (iv) th…

The Nature and Function of Fusion in the Dynamics of Lesbian Relationships
Although much has been written about the problem of fusion in relationships, especially among lesbians, there is little evidence of its prevalence in the nonclinical lesbian community or information about the function it may serve in lesbian relationships. This study examined the frequency of fusion in lesbian and heterosexual women's relationships and the relationship of fusion to other relational variables. The study found that there were no di…
Effects of Gender Inclusive/Exclusive Language in Religious Discourse
Religious speech (i.e. preaching) is a prominent language event, yet it has received scant attention in research on language and attitudes. In recent years, many religious institutions have adopted reforms mandating gender-inclusive (non-sexist) language. Only a few studies have examined the effects of gender-inclusive or gender-exclusive language use on listeners' judgments of speakers, and none of these examine religious discourse in particular…
Fusion and Conflict Resolution in Lesbian Relationships
In this study the authors explore the issues of social distancing and conflict resolution in lesbian relationships. The authors surveyed 275 lesbians about the extent of fusion in their relationships, sources of conflict, and styles of conflict resolution. Results with a nonclinical sample indicated that lesbians reported moderate levels of fusion in their relationships. Furthermore, two subscales of fusion-fusion time issues and sharing-were pro…
Risks Both Known and Unknown
The idea of situation has gained increased attention in HIV/STD prevention research and practice. In the context of prevention, situation does not simply connote setting or place but also incorporates meanings people attached to the physical setting and how the complex interrelation of setting, meaning, and behaviors influences decisions regarding sexual behaviors and prevention measures. Kenneth Burke's pentadic analysis provides a means to illu…

Adopting Gender-Inclusive Language Reforms
Previous research demonstrates a decline across time in gender-exclusive language among language users who are occupationally mandated to conform to nonsexist language guidelines (e.g., journalists). Little prior research, however, bears on changes across time among language users who are not thus constrained. Some prior studies do suggest that individual difference variables such as psychological gender-role schema and attitudes toward sexist la…

Negotiating Child Health Care Routines during Paediatrician-Parent Conversations
Paediatrician-parent conversation is examined, using an adapted Bargaining Process Analysis coding scheme to determine how interactants sustain traditional roles versus encourage mutual involvement. Findings demonstrate that paediatricians rely on use of requests, whereas parents often use confirming messages. During interactions in which parents present specific concerns to paediatricians who address those concerns, parents use more requests tha…

Predictors of Adolescent Sexual Risk Taking Behaviors Which Put Them at Risk for Contracting HIV
Predicting Exposure to and Uses of Television Violence
The uses-and-gratifications tradition posits that individual needs for stimulation and for information vary systematically. These needs may affect what media sources and other stimuli are accessed by individuals. In this study we sampled adolescents and college students to examine (a) the relation between sensation seeking and exposure to violent and nonviolent television, and (b) the subsequent role that violent television may play among high se…

Elaboration in Processing Adolescent Health Messages
Elaboration in Processing Adolescent Health Messages
The present studies explored how adolescents process information in making decisions about risk behavior. We studied two developmental aspects of adolescent egocentrism: personal fable (a sense of invulnerability) and imaginary audience (focus on others), along with individual difference variables (sensation seeking, self-esteem, and peer pressure). The studies investigated the effects of a message variable, elaboration demand, which is driven by…

Privacy and Disclosure of Hiv in interpersonal Relationships
As the HIV epidemic enters its third decade, it remains one of the most pressing health issues of our time. Many aspects of the disease remain under-researched and inadequate attention has been given to the implications for the relationships and daily lives of those affected by HIV. Disclosing an HIV diagnosis remains a decision process fraught with difficulty and despite encouraging medical advances, an HIV diagnosis creates significant anxiety …
Desperately Seeking Skeezers
HIV infection rates among African-Americans have increased disproportionately when compared to other at-risk groups in the United States. Crack smoking also has been found to increase the risk of infections with HIV, syphilis, and other sexually transmitted diseases. Despite the scientific and citizenly dissemination of this information, infection rates continue to increase among African-American drug users, as traditionally-used prevention curri…
Reasons for HIV Disclosure/Nondisclosure in Close Relationships
This research examined the relative importance of reasons for HIV disclosure/nondisclosure with a friend, intimate partner, and parents. Participants were 145 men and women with HIV. Overall, catharsis, a will to duty/educate, and having a close/supportive relationship were endorsed as reasons that influence HIV disclosure. Privacy, self–blame, fear of rejection, and protecting the other were endorsed as reasons that influence nondisclosure. Both…
