Abstract B77: Knowledge of screening colonoscopy results and follow up recommendations among navigated patients
Conclusions: Despite education and access to care, our study highlights the need for continued education around CRS, since less that 40% of both navigated and non-navigated patients reported screening as a colon cancer preventative procedure. Although navigated patients were more aware of their colonoscopy results than non-navigated patients, this patient population was less aware of their follow-up recommendations. Future studies need to focus on minority populations in order to ensure equal benefit from CRS and to reduce disparities from this often-preventable cancer.Citation Format: Cassandra D.L Fritz, Keith Naylor, Ka...

Abstract B80: Perceived control over health and history of mammography screening in Hispanic/Latino women living in the Northeast United States
Conclusions: Low to moderate versus high levels of perceived control over health contribute to lower levels of mammography screening according to guidelines. Identifying ways to address perceived control over health will be critical to increasing mammography screening adherence in this under-resourced population.Citation Format: Beth A. Jones, Lianne Epstein, Inginia Genao, Marcella Nunez-Smith, Hosanna Soler Vila, Elizabeth Claus, Susan Nappi.

Abstract A42: Breast and cervical cancer screening adherence among Latina women living in South Texas: Results from the Esperanza y Vida (Hope and Life) intervention
CONCLUSIONS These findings have implications for further culturally-tailored BC and CC education, screening interventions and patient navigation. Additional exploration of the influence of healthcare professionals and social networks in screening behaviors among this population is warranted.Citation Format: Jameisha B. Brown, Thelma C.

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...

Abstract A36: Exploring the climate, barriers, and possible approaches to implementing genetic cancer risk assessment in Latin America: A roundtable discussion
Genetic cancer risk assessment (GCRA) is an interdisciplinary medical subspecialty practice that employs a growing arsenal of genetic and genomic tools to identify individuals and families with increased risk for cancer, often prior to the onset of disease, when early detection or prevention strategies are most effective. Access to GCRA is a standard of care in most developed countries, but is not available in most of Latin America. In March of 2014, City of Hope in Duarte, CA, conducted a roundtable discussion forum with 16 Latin American physicians representing Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico. The purpose...

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...

A Report of Physicians' Beliefs about Physician-Assisted Suicide: A National Study.
Authors: Hetzler PT, Nie J, Zhou A, Dugdale LS
Abstract
The goal of this work is to assess the beliefs of US physicians about the national legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS). We sent a survey to 1000 randomly chosen physicians from around the US. Our survey indicates that 60% of physicians thought PAS should be legal, and of that 60%, 13% answered "yes" when asked if they would perform the practice if it were legal. Next, 49% of physicians agreed that most patients who seek PAS do so because of pain, and 58% agreed that the current safeguards in place for PAS, in general, are adequate to protect patie...

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.

Outcome Expectancies, Health Information Seeking, and Cancer Beliefs Associated with Multivitamin/Mineral Use in a National Sample, HINTS-FDA 2015
ConclusionsDespite leading health organizations’ discouragement of dietary supplements for cancer prevention, this study found that trust in health organizations and outcome expectancies were associated with multivitamin/mineral use. This divergence presents a need to explore how dietary supplement evidence based recommendations can be translated and disseminated for the public.

When Your Child Is Struggling with an Eating Disorder
In the Spring of 2018 my daughter began to want to “eat healthy.” There is nothing wrong with eating healthy, I thought. After all, I am a certified health coach and am a huge advocate of eating healthy.
My daughter began reading food labels on some things and I thought, I’ll keep an eye on that. This went on for a few months with no other signs of anything unusual. Until, one day we were riding in the van with my daughter and her two younger siblings and the two littles asked if we could grab some lunch. I happened to look in the rearview mirror at the same time. My daughter had a look of fear come over her face....

Abstract B57: Knowledge and cultural health beliefs of cervical cancer and attitudes and behaviors towards cervical cancer screening among Cambodian American women
Conclusion: The study findings provide insight and understanding of Cambodian American women's knowledge, cultural health beliefs, and attitudes towards cervical cancer and the Pap test. Although the prevalence of the Pap test was surprisingly high, the findings clearly indicated that there was a great deal of misunderstanding about cervical cancer and the Pap test. Our participants were middle-aged Cambodian American women; therefore, the findings may not be applicable to those from different age groups. Future studies are needed to explore other age groups. Moreover, culturally and linguistically appropriate educational ...

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.

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
