Published: July 2019

Having more healthful options at campus eateries is a viable way to meet consumer demand, as well as to promote health on campus. Our study tested three healthier alternatives (low-fat beef, turkey, and soy/rice burgers) against the conventional full-fat hamburger patty (control). We examined consumer acceptance of the four burger patties with 48 untrained student panelists. A 9-point scale hedonic test was used to measure consumer acceptance. Quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was also conducted with six trained panelists to evaluate the intensity of sensory properties. Analysis of variance was used to detect significant differences among the treatments. Consumer acceptance mean scores for full-fat beef, lean beef, turkey, and soy/rice patties were 5.98, 6.68, 5.50 and 5.56, respectively, with no preference of the control patty over turkey or soy/rice, but a significant preference of the lean beef over turkey and soy/rice. QDA results showed flavor, spiciness, and elasticity significantly varied across the treatments. Panelists rated lean beef as significantly more elastic than all other patties. It is uncertain whether those sensory attributes contributed to consumer acceptance. In conclusion, our research indicates that college consumers may accept these healthier substitutes for traditional full-fat beef patties. Consumer acceptance of healthier patty substitutes should be further investigated in primary and secondary schools as well. With proper marketing, healthier alternatives to the conventional, full-fat hamburger patty could become competitive choices.
Relationship between Peer and/or Friends’ Influence and Physical Activity among Elementary School Children
Authors: Efrat Merav
Published: July 2019

One modifiable factor linked to the current childhood obesity epidemic is inactivity among children. In hopes of providing researchers and practitioners with insight for combating the childhood obesity epidemic, the objective of this review is to synthesize the research on the association between peer and/or friends‟ influence and elementary school-aged children‟s physical activity behaviors. Six databases were searched to identify studies published within the last 20 years that assess the relationship between peer and/or friends‟ influence and elementary school-aged children‟s physical activity behaviors. Analysis of the 13 studies meeting these criteria identified four processes through which peers and/or friends may be associated with elementary school-aged children‟s physical activity behaviors: modeling, social support, popularity and victimization. While more research is needed in this area, this review suggests that there is an association between peer and/or friends‟ influence and elementary school-aged children‟s physical activity levels. Peer victimization may be negatively associated with children‟s physical activity levels. Peer support is positively correlated with children‟s physical activity. Among boys, popularity may be associated with physical activity. Finally, evidence suggests that peer models may be effective at enhancing physical activity among girls and children with low physical activity self-efficacy.

Published: July 2019

Faith-based organizations are a powerful resource for addressing health issues within the African American community. In this paper, we describe two projects led by volunteer faith-based leaders and community residents who collaborated with public agencies to design programs to combat obesity. The first project, the Southeast Raleigh Community Garden Project, involved the construction of a community garden and the delivery of educational programs on healthy eating among youth. The second one, Project FACT (Faith-based groups Addressing health issues through Community outreach Together in the community), implemented church-based nutrition education programs and community walking programs led by church volunteers. The purpose of the two faith-based health promotion projects was to increase opportunities for physical activity and to encourage consumption of more fruits and vegetables. These projects resulted in the construction of a walking trail with the community garden as its destination, implementation of education programs to increase nutritional awareness, the initiation of multiple walking programs, and policy changes within the church to encourage a healthier lifestyle. The projects demonstrated the feasibility of collaboration among faith-based organizations, community residents and government agencies to promote physical activity and healthful eating among families by creating physical changes in the environment and implementing educational and walking programs in low income communities.
Psychosocial, Socioeconomic, Behavioral, and Environmental Risk Factors for BMI and Overweight Among 9-to-11-Year Old Children
Authors: Keihner Angie J. , Mitchell Patrick R. , Kitzmann Carolyn , Sugerman Sharon , Foerster Susan
Published: July 2019

This study explored the risk factors for higher BMI and overweight in 9- to 11-year-old children using the 2007 California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Survey. A total of 741 children completed a two-day food and activity diary. Of these, 299 children participated in the follow-up telephone interview, reporting attitudes and beliefs. Linear regressions identified risk factors related to BMI z-scores; logistic regressions were used for binomial overweight status. Independent variables included children’s diet, activity, screen time, food modeling, family norms/rules, home environment, poverty, and parent education, adjusting for race/ethnicity. Parent education was the strongest risk factor with a clear gradient towards reduced risk as parent education improved. Children were .3 BMI z points lower and one-third less likely to be overweight as education level rose. Each serving of fried vegetables consumed was related to .3 point increase in BMI z. Children were 1.2-1.3 times more likely to be overweight with each increase in school lunch participation. Low-cost overweight prevention efforts targeting children with less parent education, school lunches, and consumption of fried vegetables may reduce BMI and help prevent childhood overweight. Additional investigation should determine the underlying factors contributing to the relationship between eating school lunch and overweight.
Safer Sexual Practices and HIV Screening Behavior among Rural California American Indians
Authors: Hodge Felicia S. , Sinha Karabi
Published: July 2019

This paper reports on safer sexual practices and HIV screening behavior among rural California American Indians. Thirteen Indian health clinic registries formed the random household survey sampling frame (N=457). Measures included socio-demographics, safer sexual practices, HIV testing, high-risk behaviors, perception of wellness, general health status, neglect, physical and sexual abuse history. Statistical tests included chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests, as well as multiple logistic regression analysis. Respondents who practiced safer sex were younger, not married, reported lower annual income, changed sexual behavior in the last 12 months, were not in a monogamous relationship, and had a higher perception of wellness. Those who were tested for HIV were younger, had at least a high school education, consumed alcohol, had significantly higher suicide ideation and attempts, changed their sexual behavior in the last 12 months, and reported a history of sexual abuse as a child and adult. Very little is known about HIV prevention and screening behaviors in rural American Indian populations. Identifying predictors of unsafe sexual practices and non-HIV testing tendencies help to plan for measures to protect the population from this devastating disease. We make recommendations for implementing HIV prevention education and screenings at American Indian clinics.
What type of weight loss program do postpartum women want? Treatment preferences of postpartum women in two community settings

Published: July 2019

Approximately 25% of women experience major weight gain after pregnancy, retaining more than 4.5 kg. Preliminary efforts to promote postpartum weight loss have encountered some success, but little is known about the types of programs of greatest interest to postpartum women. The purpose of this study was to better understand the weight control needs and preferences of postpartum women in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Nutrition program (N = 100) and an Adult Education Parenting (AEP) program (N = 75). A self-report questionnaire was used to collect participants’ demographic and weight history information as well as participants’ degree of interest in various weight loss treatment modalities. Results indicated that, independent of weeks postpartum and breastfeeding status, women in both groups (WIC and AEO) experienced high postpartum weight retention, and greater weight retention was reported in WIC than AEP (7.6 ± 7.7 kg vs. 3.2 ± 6.9 kg, respectively; p = .0001). When asked about types of weight control treatments, women in both setting expressed greatest interest in weekly face-to-face group meetings, but 66.2% of AEP and 60.6% of WIC reported needing childcare to attend such meetings. Women in both settings reported interest in an Internet-based program, particularly one that integrated monthly face-to-face meetings. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to examine the efficacy of Internet-based treatment in reducing postpartum weight retention in diverse patient populations.
Mixed Method Evaluation of a College Student Fitness Program Using the RE-AIM Frameword
Authors: Bartlett Michelle L. , Zizzi Sam J.
Published: July 2019

Background: The consistently rising obesity rate in college student population illustrates the need for organized and effective interventions. The purposes of this study were to evaluate an eight-week fitness program implemented at university student recreation center using mixed-methods along the reach, effectiveness, and implementation dimensions of the RE-AIM framework for evaluating health-promotion programs and to illustrate how qualitative data can be used to enhance the capabilities of the RE-AIM framework to evaluate such programs via providing recommendations to improve the intervention not possible with just a quantitative RE-AIM evaluation. Methods: Quantitative (participation rate, changes in % body fat, and resting heart rate) and qualitative methods (focus groups, interviews, and surveys) were used in the study. Participants in the evaluation were program users. Results: The program reach (1.5/100) and effectiveness (8.5/100) were low, with moderate implementation on the individual level (45.5/100) and high implementation on the organizational level (79/100). Major qualitative themes illustrated that the program‟s strong points were in facilitating physique improvements (n = 11), increasing knowledge (n = 10) and motivation (n = 7) and program shortcomings were primarily due to the quality of personal training (n = 52) and the program dietician services (n = 14). Implications: Such programs often suffer from diminished effectiveness when delivered in the real world, as evident in the present study. The results of the study evaluation can help in the development of effective health promotion programs for the college student population. Suggestions for practice via the RE-AIM framework in conjunction with qualitative analyses are included.

Published: July 2019

In this study, we evaluated the effects of an asthma education intervention, guided by social cognitive theory, on knowledge, intention, behavior, self-efficacy, and self-consciousness. The sample consisted of 87 asthmatic adolescents in six middle and/or high schools in California. A non-equivalent comparison group design, with delayed intervention in the comparison group, was utilized. We implemented a modified version of the American Lung Association’s Kickin Asthma curriculum. Self-report questionnaires assessing the key study variables were administered at baseline, at immediate postintervention, and five weeks after the intervention. There were no statistically significant differences at post-test, controlling for pre-test values, for any of the study variables between the intervention (n = 51) and comparison groups (n = 35). After collapsing across groups, however, there were statistically significant improvements following the intervention for knowledge, intention, selected behavior variables, and self-efficacy. The evaluation of this theory-based asthma education intervention demonstrates the positive impact this curriculum can have on a sample of asthmatic adolescents.
Voices of Native Hawaiian Women
Authors: Oneha Mary F. , Magnussen Lois , Shoultz Jan
Published: July 2019

Using a community based participatory approach, individual interviews and focus groups were conducted with Native Hawaiian women to understand their cultural perceptions, responses, and needs regarding intimate partner violence (IPV). Semi-structured interview guides were used for both interviews. The overriding theme derived from content analysis is that IPV “starts in the home,” it is learned in the family and in the community. Visible injuries requiring emergency care is commonly perceived as IPV. The response to IPV included a primary theme of “defend the collective.” Intimate partner violence is understood to be a “family matter,” dealt within the family or by oneself. Native Hawaiian women who participated in this study sought to re-connect or establish relationships with self, others, spirit, natural elements, cultural practices, and community. Responding to IPV requires an understanding of cultural perceptions, responses, and needs of Native Hawaiians, with implications for families and communities. The needs expressed by Native Hawaiian participants reflect what they need to access “health.” Implications for health care providers require understanding how best to facilitate an individual’s access to “health” vs. access to “health care.”
Ever Evolving Concept of a New Public Health
Authors: Shehadeh Nancy
Published: July 2019

In the second edition of The New Public Health, authors Tulchinsky and Varavikova present a comprehensive overview of the evolution of public health and health issues. Their book succeeds in introducing the broad areas of this expanding field as they seek to balance traditional concerns for populations with more modern concerns for individuals and human rights. One of the main strengths of this text is the authors‟ coverage of many contemporary public health topics, such as specialized communities, which include the mentally ill, homosexual men and women, immigrants, and Native Americans. However, the authors provide very limited criticism of prior mishaps in public health and little emphasis on health promotion, a major component of current approaches. Instead, there is an overemphasis on an epidemiological perspective of many public health topics. Admission of failures to address certain issues adequately, a more robust presentation of the premises of health promotion, and more attention to ecological models of disease prevention would have strengthened the second edition of The New Public Health. Perhaps the authors will include these dimensions of the 21st century in subsequent editions of their valuable book.

Published: July 2019

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the types of social support used by Chamorro (indigenous) breast cancer survivors on Guam. Methods: We assessed social support use among 25 self-reported Chamorro women with a diagnosis of breast cancer through interviews and construction of genograms and ecomaps -pictorial displays of the women's family relationships, medical history, and their social networks. Results: The mean age of the participants was 54.5 years. The average number of years since the diagnosis of breast cancer was 7.8 years. Respondents indicated that the nuclear family was the most important form of social support (34.2%). Indeed, nuclear family and other types of informal systems were the most common type of social support used by the women (60.2%). Formal support services, clubs, and organizations were reported by 17.9% of participants while spiritual and/or religious resources were reported by 21.9% of them. Conclusion: These Chamorro breast cancer survivors depended largely on family for social support. Support from family, although informal, should be recognized as a pivotal factor in recovery and survivorship. Future directions could incorporate formal and informal mechanisms to utilize this natural support resource.
Talking Story
Authors: Sripipatana Alek , Pang Victor Kai'wi , Pang Jane Ka'ala , Briand Greta
Published: July 2019

Relatively little attention has been paid in the literature to strategies promoting the health of Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI) men. To fill this void, a Native Hawaiian cancer survivor and a Marshallese minister in Orange County, California, founded the Kane Group to promote men’s health information and support. This group is comprised of 10 to 15 NHPI men, ages 35 to 83, with a diverse background of experiences in the U.S. healthcare system and health conditions, including multiple site cancer survivors and/or co-morbidity and chronic condition, like high blood pressure, diabetes. The Kane Group provides social support and engages in discussions, using the island tradition of “talk story”, to relate a variety of men’s health issues from prostate cancer to physical fitness to end-of-life decision making in a supportive and safe environment. The group weaves Pacific Islander culture and values into the process and conduct of the support groups. This community commentary describes the innovative strategies, successes, and challenges that emerged with the development of the group that were designed to celebrate Pacific Islander men’s health, provide information, fellowship, and support for the many who are facing health crises.
Identifying the Causes of Cancer Health Disparities
Authors: Beale Keola K.
Published: July 2019

The causes of cancer health disparities amongst Pacific Islanders and other racial groups are complex and multifactorial. Both biologic and non biologic determinants have been identified as causal factors. Racial/ethnic classification can be used as a surrogate for non biologic determinants such as place of geographic origin, socioeconomic status, cultural practices, and diet. Given that non biologic and biologic determinants are not mutually exclusive, using racial/ethnic classification may be hypothesis generating and assist in the identification of biologic determinants such as infections, toxins, and/or environmental exposures that lead to carcinogenesis. This commentary provides several examples of cancer specific biologic determinants that may lead to cancer health disparities. It also discusses specific non biologic determinants of cancer health disparities that must be overcome in order to increase participation of underserved populations in clinical trial research. Taken together, these examples demonstrate the need to further our understanding of the determinants of cancer health disparities that can lead to the enactment of preventive measures and/or targeted therapies.

A Papanicolaou test is the most effective procedure for detecting cervical cancer. Unfortunately, many young Asian Pacific Islander (API) college women are unaware of this procedure and do not take precaution against cervical cancer. This paper reports disaggregated data on Pap knowledge and screening rates of female students at a four-year university and suggests recommendations to healthcare providers to improve Pap screening rates. Using a communitybased participatory research (CBPR) approach, a cross-sectional study was administered using a web-based anonymous survey (N=618). The survey results indicated that participants who were least likely to know about Pap tests were 18-21 years old, API, uninsured, and not in a committed relationship. Slightly more than half (52%) of API females received a screening compared to 82.4% of white females. The most influential people for Pap screening were doctors (43%) and the least influential people were mothers (18.8%) and friends (7.8%). This study expands the literature on Pap knowledge and screenings among API college students and provides culturally appropriate recommendations to improve screening rates.

Authors: Asare Matthew , Sharma Manoj
Published: July 2019

Background: The purpose of this paper was to review the HIV/AIDS interventions conducted among heterosexual African Americans, and suggest ways of enhancing these interventions. Methods: In collecting the materials for this study, a search of CINAHL, ERIC, and MEDLINE databases were carried out for the time period of 2002 to July 2010. The inclusion criteria for the studies were (1) African American adults; (2) limited to heterosexual African American populations; (3) publication in refereed journals in the English language; (4) location of the study in the United States. Results: A total of twelve studies met the inclusion criteria, eight of which took place in a clinical setting. Nine of the interventions were based on behavioral theories and six of those interventions utilized social cognitive theory. The themes used were HIV/AIDS knowledge, risk reduction strategies, behavioral skills, condom use, selfefficacy, and communication about sex and goal setting. The review found that all the interventions were effective, though the effect sizes were generally small. Conclusions: The strengths of the interventions include the use of the following: appropriate sample sizes, post intervention follow-ups, and the use of randomized control trial design. Recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS interventions in African American heterosexuals are presented.
Effects of Ethnicity and Message Framing on Colorectal Cancer Screening
Authors: Cronan Terry A. , Conway Terry L. , Davis Katrina , Vasserman-Stokes Elaina A.
Published: July 2019

We examined the relative effectiveness of gain- versus loss-framed videotaped messages designed to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among low-income Caucasians, African Americans, and Mexican Americans. The participants were 164 people living in low-income neighborhoods. Participants watched either a gain-framed or a loss-framed videotape. They completed pre- and post-video questionnaires and received a take-home immunoassay Fecal Occult Blood Test (iFOBT) kit that they were asked to use and return by mail. Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that iFOBT return rates varied significantly by ethnicity (p < .002) and framing condition (p < .004). Screening kits were returned by 68.4% of Caucasians, 37.7% of African Americans, and 64.8% of Mexican Americans; 65.0% of participants who saw the gain-framed video returned the iFOBT kit, but only 50.0% of those who saw the loss-framed video returned the kit. Framing made a difference only for Caucasians, and the direction of the difference was opposite from the direction predicted. The return rate for Latinos was similar to that for Caucasians; however, Latino rates did not vary as a function of type of framing. It is possible that message framing must be specifically targeted if it is to be effective for Latinos and African Americans.

Published: July 2019

Mass media can play an important role in setting public agenda and stimulating public attention to issues. Purpose: To assess health-related articles in select mass-circulating general readership magazines, and identify which of the Leading Health Indicators (LHI) each of them addresses. Methods: Four of the top 35 general readership magazines listed in the 2007 Magazine Publishers of America were considered, and included Reader’s Digest, Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report. ProQuest was searched to obtain all health-related articles (n=55) available in these magazines between July 2005 and August 2008. Articles were assessed in regards to LHIs, sources of information, presentation of statistics and risk factors, and citation of prevention measures. Results: The most frequent LHIs addressed were overweight and obesity (21.4%) and mental health (19%). The most frequent source of information was experts such as MDs and PhDs (92.9%). Incidence and prevalence of LHIs were frequently presented, while risk factors were presented in less than 25% of the articles. Conclusion: Mass media can be a valuable tool for dissemination and stimulation of public attention to high priority public health issues. Enhanced coordination is needed between health educators and members of the press to ensure accurate and universally relevant health information in general readership magazines.
Assessing Hospital Employee's Readiness for Change for a Workplace Wellness Program
Authors: Motley Deborah L. , Prelip Mike
Published: July 2019

The aims of this study were to measure attitudes of hospital employees towards health and healthy behaviors and provide exploratory research that will guide stakeholders in strategically planning a worksite wellness (WW) program at a Catholic hospital. Methods used included a cross-sectional study with census data from a population of employees in a hospital utilizing Prochaska’s Stages of Change to assess their readiness. Participants (N=705) were also asked to identify 1) meaningful WW incentives, 2) job stressors encountered and 3) if spirituality/religiosity played a role in their health. Using frequency and Chi-square distributions, this census survey revealed a readiness to engage in exercise, weight control and stress management. A higher engagement in positive health behaviors was seen in those who reported spirituality/religiosity, especially when involved in a spiritual/religious community. Major themes suggested that this hospital would benefit from WW incentives that target exercise, weight control and stress management and that allow employees to pursue these health goals in supportive relationships with each other. A unique holistic approach to worksite wellness, incorporating “body”, “mind”, and “spirit” is discussed and ultimately guided the interpretation and application of the survey data.

ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to find out the influence of, export tax, U.S dollar exchange rate and cocoa price export toward the volume of cocoa export, to know the influence of the domestic labor wage and the land width the production cocoa width and to know the trend of cocoa export price in Indonesia. This study has been conducted in Central Bureau of Statistics of South Sumatera Province and related institution. The time for collecting the data starting from April – June 2017.This study used secondary data method, the method for collecting the data was time series secondary method. The technique for analyzing the data to know the factors that influence the export volume and production cocoa width was multiple regression.

Authors: Katoch Dr Puneet , Singh Dr Surjeet
Published: July 2019

Background- Tennis elbow is a common problem for patients whose activities require strong gripping or repetitive wrist movement’s .The present study was aimed to evaluate percutaneous surgical release against the conservative treatment.

Methods- The present study was aimed to assess the outcome of percutaneous extensor tendon release in tennis elbow (>2 months duration) and do a comparative evaluation of the group treated by conservative management. During the study period, a total of 62 patients were randomized to receive either conservative treatment (CE; n=32) or treated by percutaneous method (PT; n=30).

Results- DASH score analysis showed that DASH score was significantly decreased

(P=0.000) at 3- and 6-months in both CE and PT groups. Oxford Elbow score significantly increased (P=0.000) at 3 and 6-months in both CE and PT groups.

Conclusion- Conservative method and Percutaneous tenotomy are equally effective in managing neglected tennis elbow (>2 months).

Published: July 2019

Length-weight relations (LWRs) and different indices of condition factor for roach from Lake Volvi (Northern Greece) were estimated. Results showed that roach are heavier of a given length in Lake Volvi than in other areas worldwide, with females exhibited higher weight than males of the same length. Significant differences (P<0.05) of LWRs were also exhibited between sexes depending on month. CLARK condition factor peaked at the end of summer displaying no significant difference between sexes, whereas the other three estimated condition factors (Allometric, FULTON, LE CREN) peaked in winter. The estimation of different proxies of condition factor disaggregated by sex might reduce the uncertainty raised by the estimation of fish growth.
