Abstract C90: Examining racial and ethnic disparities in HPV awareness and the association of trust in cancer information from physicians among males
Conclusion: In general, men are not receiving the information about the HPV or how it is transmitted. Furthermore, racial/ethnic differences were found in being informed about the HPV vaccine and trust in receiving cancer information from physicians. Findings suggest that men's lack of knowledge about HPV and the lack of trust of cancer information from physicians may be linked to a lack of HPV vaccinations. Future health communications efforts should explore community-based and culturally sensitive methods to disseminate HPV information to men.Note: This abstract was not presented at the conference.Citation Format: Dexter...

Countless People Are Struggling With an Eating Disorder Doctors Can ’t Diagnose
At first, Melanie Murphy was just following doctor’s orders.
Murphy, then 19, had gained weight during a period of depression, and her doctor told her she should lose some. She went from 180 to 125 pounds in 18 months—and even when she knew it was time to stop slimming down, she couldn’t shake the need to chase a goal. Without weight loss, she needed a new target. That became finding the “perfect” diet, one that was clean and pure and would keep her healthy for years to come.
At least, that was how she thought about it then. These days, she uses a different descriptor: “orthorexia,&rdquo...

The algorithm method: how internet dating became everyone's route to a perfect love match
Six million Britons are looking for their perfect partner online before Valentine's day on Friday, but their chance of success may depend on clever maths rather than charismaIn the Summer of 2012, Chris McKinlay was finishing his maths dissertation at the University of California in Los Angeles. It meant a lot of late nights as he ran complex calculations through a powerful supercomputer in the early hours of the morning, when computing time was cheap. While his work hummed away, he whiled away time on online dating sites, but he didn't have a lot of luck – until one night, when he noted a connection between the two acti...

Abstract PR2: Examining perceptions about the HPV vaccine by sociodemographic characteristics and factors associated with perceptions: Findings from the 2012 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS)
Conclusions: Uncertainty about HPV vaccine effectiveness remains high and may be a factor contributing to low uptake and disparities in vaccination. Findings suggest HPV communication and messages need refinement to clearly highlight vaccine efficacy, and targeted strategies may be needed to reach non-Hispanic Blacks and individuals with lower levels of education.This abstract is also presented as Poster A7.Citation Format: Kassandra I.

Co-constructing beliefs about parental involvement: Rehearsals and reflections in a family literacy program
This article examines the ways in which participants in a six-week family literacy program—graduate students, immigrant parents, and their children—co-constructed a set of norms for appropriate parental involvement during a role-play activity in which they rehearsed placing and receiving phone calls between parents and school staff. The findings highlight an important tension: on the one hand, the graduate students’ actions and stances during the role-plays reveal a set of normative beliefs about what constitutes competent parental behavior in schooling contexts; on the other hand, the graduate students’ participat...

Eating disorders and sense of self: A learning theory conceptualization.
Abstract
The learning theory view of sense of self is that problems in one's knowledge about the self arise when: (1) caregivers fail to recognize indicators of a child's private emotional and visceral experiences and (2) subsequently fail to offer appropriate labels that discriminate among those experiences. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the process believed to build a sense of self to level of interoceptive awareness (IA) and to risk for eating disorders. One hundred twenty seven undergraduate and graduate students (112 women) completed the Eating Disorders Inventory-3 (EDI-3). Au...

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.

For Abstainers versus Drinkers, we found no difference by age or gender in this sample. Married people and people with children were more likely ...

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. Racial differences in cultural values for cancer prevention and control: Fact or fiction. [abstract]. In: Proceedi...
