We conducted a randomized controlled trial among African-American patients attending primary-care provider visit to compare efficacy of computer-delivered tailored intervention increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening (n ¼ 273) with non-tailored print material-an American Cancer Society brochure on CRC 283).Health Belief Model constructs were used develop messages and examined as outcomes.Analysis covariance models changes between knowledge health belief scores at baseline 1 week...
Background: Compared with other racial groups, African Americans have the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates coupled lower screening rates. Objective: Our study examined predictors of stage adoption for fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) colonoscopy among American primary care patients who were nonadherent to published guidelines. Methods: Baseline data (N = 815) in a randomized clinical trial analyzed. Participants categorized into precontemplation, contemplation,...
To compare the efficacy of two interventions to promote colorectal cancer screening participation and forward stage movement adoption among first-degree relatives individuals diagnosed with adenomatous polyps. One hundred fifty-eight polyps were randomly assigned receive one screening. Participants received either a tailored telephone counseling plus brochures intervention or non-tailored print intervention. Data collected at baseline 3 months post-baseline. Group differences effect on...
Abstract Background Up to 50% of people scheduled for screening colonoscopy do not complete this test and no studies have focused on minority low-income populations. Interventions are needed improve colorectal cancer (CRC) knowledge, reduce barriers, provide alternative options. Patient navigation (PN) tailored interventions increase CRC uptake, however there is limited information comparing their effectiveness or the effect combining them. Purpose Compare two among individuals who did...
As longitudinal studies determined that anxiety is a strong risk factor for hot flashes, we hypothesized an anxiogenic stimulus signals air hunger (hypercapnic, normoxic gas) would trigger exacerbated flash-associated increase in tail skin temperature (TST) rat ovariectomy (OVEX) model of surgical menopause and flashes symptomatic postmenopausal women. We also assessed TST responses OVEX serotonin transporter (SERT) rats models common polymorphism associated with increased climacteric...
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) defines engagement in research as the meaningful involvement of patients, caregivers, clinicians, insurers, and others throughout entire process-from planning to conducting study disseminating results. purposes this paper are (a) describe methods used engage community members across various phases a PCORI-funded comparative effectiveness trial increase colorectal cancer screening; (b) report results qualitative quantitative evaluations...
A process evaluation was conducted as part of a comparative effectiveness trial mailed interactive educational DVD intervention to promote colorectal cancer screening among average-risk patients who did not attend scheduled colonoscopy. Participants (n = 371) for the were randomized (1) DVD, (2) plus patient navigation, or (3) usual care. 243) two arms called 2 weeks after mailing materials complete interview about (September 2017-February 2020). Forty-nine (20%) participants reached, and...
Background Non-compliance with scheduled colonoscopy is common among patients, especially in underserved populations. High no-show and late cancelation rates result wasted resources, increased costs, missed opportunities for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Among the barriers to a lack of knowledge about benefits, fears, limited time patient counseling. Methodology We produced digital video disc website program enhance awareness CRC screening address population low adherence. Results...
Abstract Background: Compared with other racial groups, Black Americans have higher incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC) lower screening rates. Theory-based tailored interventions to increase are more likely be successful, especially those tailoring on stage of adoption. The purpose our study was examine predictors adoption for fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) colonoscopy among non-adherent Americans. Methods: We analyzed baseline data 817 primary care patients enrolled in a...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) will affect more than 142,000 Americans and almost 52,000 die from this disease year. Approximately half of these deaths could be prevented if CRC screening were consistently implemented. Both incidence mortality rates are highest among African compared to all other racial groups due, in part, suboptimal rates. Interactive health communication, defined as “computer technology designed access or transmit tailored information receive guidance...
Der akute Herz-Kreislaufstillstand führt zur kompletten zerebralen Ischämie. Zur Verminderung einer Imbalanz in der neuronalen Versorgung (Hypermetabolismus bei verzögerter Minderperfusion) sind hirnstoffwechselsenkende Pharmaka, insbesondere Barbiturate mit dem Ziel „Zerebroprotektion” eingesetzt worden. Die Hypothese durch Stoff Wechselreduktion blieb jedoch umstritten.
