A randomized controlled trial of a faith-placed, lay health advisor delivered smoking cessation intervention for rural residents
2016, Preventive Medicine ReportsCitation Excerpt :Community-based participatory research (CBPR) efforts in smoking cessation typically target ethnic and racial minorities, (Andrews et al., 2007; Daley et al., 2010; McDonnell et al., 2011; Wu et al., 2009) youth, (Horn et al., 2006; Woodruff et al., 2007) and other marginalized populations experiencing health disparities (Matthews et al., 2013). Smoking cessation studies seldom use CBPR (Nafziger et al., 2001; Schorling et al., 1997). Those that have used CBPR generally have yielded modest positive outcomes.
Factors associated with seasonal influenza immunization among church-going older African Americans
2014, VaccineCitation Excerpt :Previous studies have shown that people with higher levels of church participation tend to have better health outcomes [19]. Additionally, churches can be important conduits for disseminating health messages and generating strong participation for health screenings, including those for hypertension [20], diabetes and obesity [21], and tobacco addiction and comorbidity reduction [22]. Given that churches may exert considerable influence on attitudes and social norms among older African Americans, this study endeavored to examine how these factors impact influenza immunization coverage among church-going elders.
Smoking cessation interventions for ethnic minority groups - A systematic review of adapted interventions
2013, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :The remaining 22 studies did not allow for direct comparisons, either because they were not designed to evaluate an adapted vs. non-adapted intervention, or because the interventions were not directly equivalent. Some studies, for instance, used adapted interventions with more intensive support, follow-up, and feedback, than the non-adapted comparison intervention (Ahijevych and Wewers, 1995; Darity et al., 2006; Jason et al., 1988; Lacey et al., 1991; Plescia et al., 2008; Wong et al., 2008); or the non-adapted comparison intervention used a different approach altogether, including counseling for health in general, rather than counseling for smoking cessation (Fang et al., 2006; Schorling et al., 1997). Thus, these 22 studies were unable to shed any light on whether adapted interventions were more effective than non-adapted ones.
