The Development of a Measure of Irrational/Rational Beliefs
This article describes the development of the ABS-2 and the original research on its psychometric propert ies. The scale has three factors that represent 24 different cells in a 4 × 2 × 3 factorial model. The first factor, Cognitive Processes, reflects Ellis’ concepts of Demandingness, Awfulizing, Frustration Intolerance, and Self-Downing. The second factor covers irrationally worded items versu s rationally worded items. The rationally worded items were written to counter the irrational beliefs. The third factor includes content or life themes about which the person could be concerned, and includes Achievement, Af...

Abstract B93: Understanding cancer screening service utilization by Somali men in Minnesota
Conclusions: Given the low utilization of cancer screening services and the widening cancer screening disparity gap in the minority communities, involvement of men and religious leaders in cancer screening efforts for Somali communities is worth exploring for future interventions. With the diverse cultural and health seeking behaviors in immigrant communities, cancer screening programs must adapt to increase cancer screening rates.Citation Format: Barrett P.

Abstract A63: Changes in health beliefs among medically-underserved patients enrolled in a community-based randomized controlled trial to promote colorectal cancer screening
This study examined changes in CRC health beliefs following receipt of one of two educational interventions aimed at promoting CRC screening uptake among a medically-underserved population. We compared changes in CRC health beliefs at baseline and 12 months later both within and between the two intervention groups.Enrolled participants were aged 50-75, at average CRC risk, not up-to-date with CRC screening guidelines, enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to increase CRC screening that was conducted at community clinics in the Tampa Bay area, and completed both the baseline and 12 month follow-up assessments. Participa...

Abstract A79: Influence of culture and religion on fatalistic cancer beliefs
Discussion The results support some previously established influences on cancer fatalism; however, other influences, specifically medical mistrust, religious identification, and church attendance did not predict cancer fatalism. Cancer fatalism is not directly related to religion but may be indirectly associated with religious practices that indicate a high external locus of control. Examining the contributors of cancer-related beliefs may yield valuable information that can enhance culturally appropriate cancer communication and programming.Citation Format: Deeonna E. Farr, Heather M. Brandt, Daniela B. Friedman, Cheryl A...

Risk and Protective Factors for Sexual Aggression and Dating Violence: Common Themes and Future Directions
The primary aims of this article are to expand on three themes from the conference articles on risk and protective factors for dating and sexual violence and to offer suggestions that can guide future research. The first theme is the co-occurrence of sexual and dating violence with other forms of violence and other campus health issues. A second topic is the value of prospective studies in revealing temporal patterns of victimization and perpetration. A third theme is the role of peer norms in violence among college students. Suggestions for translating these ideas into research and action are discussed and include the nee...

Abstract A55: Racial differences in cultural values for cancer prevention and control: Fact or fiction
Conclusions: With the exception of religiosity, there are few differences in cultural beliefs and values for CPC between African Americans, whites, and Hispanics. Endorsement of cultural beliefs and values should not be assumed based on racial and ethnic group membership. Rather, cultural beliefs and values for CPC should be evaluated individually among patients and at-risk groups to provide culturally competent cancer care.Citation Format: Melanie Jefferson, Jodie Riley, Lashanta Rice, Chanita Hughes-Halbert.

The Fight Over Gun Control Isn ’t Really About Guns
Over the roar of the guitar, the gunfire erupted. At first the country-music fans at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas thought the loudspeakers were malfunctioning or that the pyrotechnics had gone awry. But as the bodies crumpled, the crowd began to grasp the horror that was unfolding.
The rapid pop pop pop exploded around Doris Huser, 29. She and her 8-year-old daughter had been in the bathroom, but when the shooting began, they pushed back into the crowd, toward the sound of the bullets, in search of Huser’s 5-year-old son and her developmentally disabled sister. They could feel the bullets pinging off th...

Abstract A18: Minority and underserved communities' perceptions of cancer care and Moffitt Cancer Center
Conclusion and Implications: The perceptions and preferences of minorities and underserved populations regarding cancer care must be explored before strategies are investigated and implemented to increase clinical trial participation. Clinical trial recruitment will be more efficient and successful if their preferences are considered. This study explored the unique perspectives of AA-HL populations regarding cancer care and MCC as well as identified strategies for increasing their awareness of MCC. Data suggest that targeted advertising and promotions that provide the information potential consumers need will be more effec...

Abstract A32: Developing a practical dissemination and implementation framework to accelerate adoption of cancer innovations
Conclusion: If we can trigger the demand (Pull) for evidence-based cancer innovations, whether the demand is explicit or implicit, we are likely to have more success with dissemination efforts. Evidence-based practice is essential in health care and health promotion. It provides direction and rationale for guiding health behaviors, decision-makings and treatment. Therefore, an innovative and a multi-level approach framework is needed to accelerate integration of lessons learned from science into community health care.Funding Source: AHRQ 1R24HS022063-01Citation Format: Helen Lam, Michael Quinn, Edwin Chandraskar, Reena Pat...

Abstract B73: Examining colorectal cancer screening barriers and facilitators though a cultural lens: A mixed methods study of Chinese and Korean Americans
Conclusions: Receipt of CRC screening is influenced by cultural and non-cultural factors, both of which need to be addressed in order to increase screening uptake among Chinese and Korean Americans. These findings can inform the development of more effective CRC screening programs and interventions that are culturally and linguistically tailored to these populations.Citation Format: Sunmin Lee, Mary Jung, Xiaoxiao Lu, Jamie Sim, Diane Ng.

Differences in Self-Care Benefit and Barrier Beliefs in Patients With and Without Visiting Nurse Follow Up
The purpose of this study is to compare benefit and barrier beliefs between patients with and without visiting nurse follow up. Heart failure self-care behaviors including following a low sodium diet, taking diuretics and monitoring for symptoms are important activities to maintain health and prevent hospitalization. Beliefs are linked to self-care behaviors. Patients who believe a behavior will promote health are more likely to perform the self-care behavior. Home care nurses play a pivotal role in promoting behavior change in this population through outpatient education. No prior studies have explored the differences in...

Stress and addiction
Summary: Appetitive behaviors such as substance use and eating are under significant regulatory control by the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamic pituitary gonadal (HPG) axes. Recent research has begun to examine how these systems interact to cause and maintain poor regulation of these appetitive behaviors. A range of potential molecular, neuroendocrine, and hormonal mechanisms are involved in these interactions and may explain individual differences in both risk and resilience to a range of addictions. This manuscript provides a commentary on research presented during the International Society of Psycho...

Abstract C67: Tell a Friend and Save a Life: Investigating the impact of knowledge on colorectal cancer screening behaviors and confidence among Chinese and Korean Americans using a mixed methods approach
Conclusions: The combined use of surveys and focus groups provided a more in-depth examination and greater insight into how CRC knowledge impacts screening and confidence. Future efforts to increase CRC screening among Chinese and Korean Americans should (1) utilize family and friends as a channel to increase CRC knowledge and screening and (2) target the identified misconceptions held by these groups.Citation Format: Mary Jung, Xiaoxiao Lu, Julia Cen Chen, Daisy Le, Jingjing Chen, Sunmin Lee.

Abstract IA43: Overview on obesity and cancer in diverse populations
Obesity is a serious and costly public health problem. In 2009-2010, more than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) and 17% of youth were reported to be obese. The epidemiological data suggest that obesity is markedly different among multiple racial and ethnic populations. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports, Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (47.8%) followed by Hispanics (42.5%), non-Hispanic whites (32.6%), and non-Hispanic Asians (10.8%). Higher prevalence of adult obesity was found in the Midwest (29.5%) and the South (29.4%). Lower preval...
