Background: Although the incidence of cervical cancer has been decreasing in United States over last decade, Hispanic and African American women have substantially higher rates than Caucasian women. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a necessary, although insufficient, cause cancer. In 2013, only 37.6% girls 13 to 17 years age received recommended 3 doses vaccine that almost 100% efficacious for preventing infection with viruses are responsible 70% cancers. Implementation research...
Despite the development of numerous evidence-based interventions (EBIs), many go unused in practice. Hesitations to use existing EBIs may be due a lack understanding about EBI components and what it would take adapt or implement as designed. To improve EBIs, program planners need understand their goals, core components, mechanisms action. This paper presents Mapping, systematic approach based on Intervention that can used clearly describe help put them into
Implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) can help to increase colorectal cancer screening (CRCS). Potential users CRCS EBIs are often unclear about the specific features, logic, and core elements existing EBIs, making it challenging use or adapt them. We used EBI Mapping, a systematic process developed from Intervention Mapping that identifies an EBI's components characterize National Cancer Institute's Evidence-Based Control Programs website. The resulting information...
Abstract There are more than 13.7 million cancer survivors in the United States and this number is expected to grow 18 by 2020 because of improved outcomes from care aging population. Although health disparities well-described for incidence, diagnosis, treatment, little known about qualitative among long-term survivors. At Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC), an NCI-designated comprehensive center, Meharry Medical College, a minority serving institutional partner, we conducted focus...
Abstract Background: African American and Hispanic women have substantially higher rates of cervical cancer incidence mortality than White women. Methods: A community-based participatory research (CBPR) project was undertaken to develop, implement evaluate a culturally-tailored provider intervention increase uptake the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine among adolescents aged 9-18 years appropriate screening in their mothers. This CBPR is collaboration between Meharry Medical College,...
Abstract Background: While breast cancer incidence is higher among whites, mortality blacks. Delays in diagnosis and treatment could contribute. Objective: Describe the time course of screening, non-Hispanic black white non-HMO Medicare beneficiaries ages > 65 years. Data Methods: We selected a 2005-2008 sub-sample beneficiaries, restricted to women years older who were: alive from at least 2005 2007; had out-patient (Part B) insurance; were not enrolled HMO's for any part observation...
Increasing use of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in local settings will help reduce the research-practice gap and improve health equity. Because adaptation to new populations is essential effective EBI use, frameworks guide practice are receiving more attention; most, however, only provide broad guidelines without instructions for making adaptations practice. Therefore, practitioners may need additional training or technical assistance (TA) implement adapt EBIs. This study explores...
