Abstract: The purpose of the study was to better understand the role of a readiness assessment in a partnership between local public health agencies (LPHA) and a university.Partnerships are often initiated without an intentional approach to assessing the readiness of those involved for executing partnership. Failure to discuss and attend to an organization's readiness for partnership may endanger the success of a partnership and initiative.A readiness assessment revealed initial perspectives of LPHA directors on the following categories of readiness: mission, community climate, leadership, communication, personnel, change efficacy, and change commitment.These dimensions of readiness operationalized in different ways and ...

Abstract: The development of age-friendly communities has been a worldwide effort for aging societies. A cross-sector partnership approach, which includes service providers, voluntary organizations, the private sector, caregivers, and citizens' groups, can enhance collaboration in building an age-friendly community.1,2 In Japan, the government has introduced a community-based integrated care system,3 which is a system that "provides appropriate living arrangements and appropriate social care such as daily life support services in addition to long-term and medical care to ensure health, safety and peace of mind in everyday life,"4 with the aim of establishing an age-friendly community. In this community-based integrated care ... Read More PubDate: 2023-03-16T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Currently, in the aquatic industry, the go-to model of service delivery for children with disabilities has been segregation: where children with additional needs are grouped into adapted, often one-on-one programs separated from peers.1 However, studies in education have repeatedly shown that inclusion, where children with additional needs are placed in the same environment as typically developing peers, improves their childhood experience and life trajectory.2,3 In light of evidence around the therapeutic potential of aquatics for diverse children, it is important to investigate how these programs may be best delivered to optimize long-term health outcomes.4,5The inclusive education model has been shown to improve ...

Abstract: Local public health agencies (LPHAs) in rural communities often operate with limited resources and few staff1 while serving populations with lower access to quality care and a higher incidence of obesity and chronic disease.2 Forming partnerships with external organizations, such as universities, has the potential to offset some of these challenges as well as extend the reach of effective interventions and strategies into rural communities. Assessing an LPHA's readiness for partnership is an important initial step to both understand the viability of such a partnership and identify next steps to promote the success of an initiative and partnership. This study recounts an approach to assessing the readiness of LPHAs ... Read More PubDate: 2023-03-16T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: While the "Me Too" movement raised attention to employer-perpetrated sexual violence, few community initiatives have dealt explicitly with the reciprocal relationship between gender-based violence (GBV)—both at work and in the home—and precarious, unstable employment.1–4 GBV, defined as physical or psychological violence used against a person because of their gender, impacts the home and work lives of thousands of individuals in the United States annually.5 While workplace harassment policies and mandating training has become commonplace, addressing other forms of GBV—including partner violence—has not, and the programs that exist are neither well evaluated nor applicable to informal workplaces with minimal ...

Abstract: "Financial toxicity" refers to the distressing personal financial burden placed on those getting cancer treatment and includes incurred health care–related payments and other household finances (food costs, housing costs, etc.).1 Almost one-half of cancer survivors face financial toxicity—with disparate survivorship populations including female, younger, low-income, or those with a recent diagnosis.2 In addition, the cost-burden of cancer can also force patients to delay or skip chemotherapy due to increasing cancer drug prices.3,4 Financial toxicity has wide-reaching, detrimental effects, significantly decreases the quality-of-life of cancer survivors, and must start being considered when helping ...

Abstract: Each day, 800 million people are menstruating worldwide.1 Despite being a normal, anticipated aspect of human physiology, menstruation is a highly stigmatized topic.1,2 People who menstruate often intentionally conceal their menses or suppress communication about their menstrual health experiences to promote their social acceptance and make those around them feel comfortable.2 These menstrual taboos are dangerous to overall health and wellness as they deter menstruators from discussing their menstrual health concerns with family, friends, and health care providers.2 This is concerning, because one in four menstruators report irregular cycles, such as abnormal menstrual bleeding and/or dysmenorrhea3; further, one in ...

Abstract: Historically, dialogues between academic institutions and community organizations are led by the academic institutions and premised on a research-oriented approach to generating data from the community (e.g., focus groups).1–6 Although helpful for academics and their research agendas, these types of conversations have often been less focused on partnership building with community organization. The Chicago Cancer Health Equity Collaborative (ChicagoCHEC) academic-community partnership sought to change that. ChicagoCHEC's mission is to advance cancer health equity through meaningful scientific discovery, education, training, and community engagement, which is described in detail elsewhere.7 The collaborative ...

Abstract: On March 21, 2018, the New York City Council approved the mayor's proposed re-zoning of the Jerome Avenue Corridor, a 73-block area in Bronx, New York. The re-zoning catalyzed a broader, more engaged, and more committed cross-sectoral collaboration than previous city-led zoning actions. Elected officials, acting on community concerns, called for the establishment of the Jerome Avenue Public Health Taskforce (the taskforce) as one of several commitments articulated in the "Points of Agreement," a public-facing document signed by the Deputy Mayor that commits the city to specific actions related to the re-zoning.1 As a result, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (the health department), led by ...

Abstract: In 2018, veteran suicide rates were the highest since the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) began systematically tracking suicide mortality among all veterans.1 Suicide prevention remains the leading clinical priority within the VA, and research is necessary to address questions critical to curbing this public health concern. Extant research has demonstrated that service members and veterans undergo unique experiences that can increase their risk for suicide, such as combat-related experiences,2 military sexual trauma,3 and challenges related to reintegration into civilian life following separation from military service.4 Suicide risk factors between veterans and non-veterans also differ in key ways, including ...

Abstract: I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act. It is an act that can be met with hostility, exclusion, and violence. It can also lead to love, understanding, transcendence, and community.There has been a significant increase in transgender and gender diverse (TGD)-related research across various disciplines in recent years. Primarily situated within the cisgender (non-transgender) gaze, much TGD literature exemplifies Tuck and Yang's1 damage-centered approach to research, which focuses on the pain and suffering TNB individuals experience daily. This approach, while often well-intentioned, further marginalizes and others TGD individuals by ... Read More PubDate: 2023-03-16T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Dissemination is a key tenet of community-based participatory research (CBPR), but there is limited literature addressing how to disseminate evidence-based community interventions.1 While the field of dissemination and implementation science focuses on the best ways to translate evidence-based interventions to new settings, the majority of early research in this field has been focused on clinical, rather than community settings.2 Combining principles of dissemination and implementation and CBPR provides an opportunity for testing the implementation of evidence-based community interventions. To progress to implementation, efficacious public health interventions must be tested in their intended context with delivery ... Read More PubDate: 2023-03-16T00:00:00-05:00
