Abstract

ObjectivesWe examined how National Cancer Institute-funded Community Network Programs (CNPs) operationalized principles of community-based participatory research (CBPR).MethodsWe reviewed the literature and extant CBPR measurement tools. On the basis of that review, we developed a 27-item questionnaire for CNPs to self-assess their operationalization of 9 CBPR principles. Our team comprised representatives of 9 of the National Cancer Institute's 25 CNPs.ResultsOf the 25 CNPs, 22 (88%) completed the questionnaire. Most scored well on CBPR principles of recognizing community as a unit of identity, building on community strengths, facilitating colearning, embracing iterative processes in developing community capacity, and achieving a balance between data generation and intervention. CNPs varied in the extent to which they employed CBPR principles of addressing determinants of health, sharing power among partners, engaging the community in research dissemination, and striving for sustainability.ConclusionsAlthough the development of assessment tools in this field is in its infancy, our findings suggest that fidelity to CBPR processes can be assessed in a variety of settings.

38. Triangulating on success: innovation, public health, medical care, and cause-specific US mortality rates over a half century (1950-2000)

Abstract

To identify successes in improving America's health, we identified disease categories that appeared on vital statistics lists of leading causes of death in the US adult population in either 1950 or 2000, and that experienced at least a 50%, reduction in age adjusted death rates from their peak level to their lowest point between 1950 and 2000. Of the 9 cause-of-death categories that achieved this 50% reduction, literature review suggests that 7 clearly required diffusion of new innovations through both public health and medical care channels. Our nation's health success stories are consistent with a triangulation model of innovation plus public health plus medical care, even when the 3 sectors have worked more in parallel than in partnership.

Abstract

Recruiting and retaining subjects for longitudinal prevention trials is challenging. The inherent difficulties are compounded when the trial is to take place in a low-income minority community, since prevention is a low priority among residents of such communities, and research is viewed with suspicion. We present our experiences in attempting to recruit and retain low-income black women living in inner-city Atlanta for a trial of an educational intervention to promote screening for cancer. The intervention was conducted in the home by trained lay health workers. We found that recruitment was more successful when we recruited directly from the community than when we recruited from the patient registry of a primary health care center. The attrition rate over an 18-month period was high. Among members of the intervention group, those retained in the study tended to be wealthier and better educated and were more likely to be married and employed than those who dropped out. It seems probable that women of lower socioeconomic status found our intervention to be intrusive or burdensome. Among the controls, socioeconomic factors did not discriminate between those who completed the study and those who did not; loss to follow-up in this group was associated only with younger age. In conducting research of this type in low-income minority communities, special attention must be given to issues of recruitment and retention if the validity of the study is to be preserved. Key Words. Recruitment of subjects, retention of subjects, inner-city community, longitudinal research, cancer prevention, Recruiting subjects for controlled clinical trials presents some well-known difficulties (Meinert 1986). Retaining subjects in such studies over time presents additional difficulties (Marmor, Oliveria, Donahue, et al. 1991). These problems [...]

Abstract

Cigarette smoking is a major cause of health disparities. We aimed to determine social characteristics associated with smoking status and age at smoking initiation in the ethnically-diverse population of Israel.This is a cross-sectional survey, based on data collected during 2010 by the Israel Bureau of Statistics, in a representative nationwide sample of 7,524 adults (≥20 years). Information collected by personal interviews included a broad set of demographic and socio-economic characteristics and detailed information on smoking habits. Associations between social characteristics and smoking habits were tested in multivariable regression models.Current smoking was more frequent among men than among women (30.9 % vs. 16.8 %;Among several subgroups within the Israeli population the smoking uptake is high, e.g. Arab men, men who are less affluent, who have lower educational level, and male immigrants. These subgroups should be prioritized for intervention to reduce the burden of smoking. To be effective, gender, cultural background and socioeconomic characteristics should be considered in the design and implementation of culturally-congruent tobacco control and smoking prevention and cessation interventions.
