Language Sample Analysis in Clinical Practice: Speech-Language Pathologists' Barriers, Facilitators, and Needs
Conclusions A training in performing LSA did not resolve the time investment barrier experienced by SLPs. User-friendly software, developed in codesign with SLPs might provide a solution. For the short-term, shorter samples, preferably from narrative tasks, should be considered.PMID:34694898 | DOI:10.1044/2021_LSHSS-21-00026

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.

Toward a Model of HPV Vaccine Series Completion in Adolescent Hispanic Males: Identifying Mothers' Salient Behavioral, Normative, and Control Beliefs
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series completion among adolescent Hispanic males (35%) is lower than the Healthy People 2020 80% goal. This directed qualitative content analysis identified mothers' beliefs about their sons completing the series. We found that mothers (N = 19) (1) express positive feelings; (2) believe the vaccine has positive effects; (3) identify the father and doctors as supporters and friends as nonsupporters; (4) list health insurance, transportation, and clinic reminders as facilitators; and (5) mention affordability as a barrier to vaccine completion. Results provide guidance for interventions. I...

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.

Impact of income and eating speed on new-onset diabetes among men: a retrospective cohort study
Conclusions The study revealed that eating fast and having a low income were independent risk factors, leading to the development of diabetes. While it is difficult to address income differences, it may be possible to address the factors that contribute to income differences to manage diabetes appropriately and at low healthcare costs. However, eating speed can be controlled. Hence, the provision of education and coaching on dietary habits, including eating speed, may be effective in preventing diabetes onset.

Terminally Ill African American Elders' Access to and Use of Hospice Care.
Abstract The underuse of hospice care by terminally ill African American elders suggests they are suffering when hospice care could offer quality end of life care. Guided by the Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations, this study sought understanding of structural barriers faced when seeking access to hospice care and reasons for using it when access is possible. Data was collected through interviews with 28 African American hospice patients. Themes from directed content analysis provide insights into strategies used to overcome access barriers posed by income, health insurance and administrative procedure, as...

Younger Age and Health Beliefs Associated with Being Overdue for Pap Testing among Utah Latinas who were Non-Adherent to Cancer Screening Guidelines
AbstractFactors associated with being overdue for Papanicoloau (Pap) testing in a Latina community were examined. Female participants aged  ≥ 21 years, who were overdue for one or more cancer screenings (N = 206), were purposively recruited. Descriptive statistics, Fisher’s Exact Tests for count data, and multivariable logistic regressions were conducted. Participants overdue for cancer screening, aged 38–47 years demonstrated lower odds of being overdue for Pap testing compared with those 21 –37 years old (OR = 0.11, 95% CI = 0.01–0.49,p = 0.01). Lower perceived susceptibility to cervical can...

My Brother ’s Pregnancy and the Making of a New American Family
When the call came, my brother was at work in the open office in Cambridge, Mass., he shares with seven colleagues who, like him, help run clinical trials for a drug developer. The phone number came up blocked, so he knew it must be the doctor. He stood up, unsteady on his feet. Was he a little nauseous? Or was that just adrenaline? He ducked into the hallway in search of quiet. My brother Evan, 35, is a stocky guy of medium height with a trimmed, fuzzy blond beard and two gem studs in each earlobe. He usually wears a Red Sox hat, and when he’s nervous, he’ll remove it and obsessively bend the rim. But on that ...

Vital signs: communication between health professionals and their patients about alcohol use - 44 States and the district of columbia, 2011.
Conclusions: Only one of six U.S. adults, including binge drinkers, reported ever discussing alcohol consumption with a health professional, despite public health efforts to increase ASBI implementation. Implications for Public Health Practice: Increased implementation of ASBI, including systems-level changes such as integration into electronic health records processes, might reduce excessive alcohol consumption and the harms related to it. Routine surveillance of ASBI by states and communities might support monitoring and increasing its implementation. PMID: 24402468 [PubMed - in process]

Antidepressants and pregnancy: More research needed
Follow me at @Drmoniquetello For many women, pregnancy and the arrival of a new baby is a joyous time — but not for every woman. Recently, postpartum depression — extreme feelings of sadness and anxiety following the birth of a child — has come out from the shadows. But what about depression during pregnancy? It’s more common than you think: as many as 14% to 23% of pregnant women will experience symptoms of depression. It’s of sufficient public health concern that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening all pregnant women and new moms for depression. However, treating depression during preg...

Abstract B90: Researching the perception of risk about colorectal cancer among African immigrants in the Chicago metropolitan area: A preliminary study
Conclusion: Although there was a small sample of people surveyed, results suggest the potential many members of the priority population believe they are at no risk of colorectal cancer. However, the literature point to western diets as the main risk of colorectal cancer for African immigrants. Data collected allowed for the creation of an educational brochure that seeks to educate the priority population and create awareness in an effort to promote screening for colorectal cancer.Citation Format: Yaw Amofa Peprah, Karen E.
