Family health history about cancer is an important prevention and promotion tool. Yet few studies have identified family context factors that promote such discussions. We explored relations among (cohesion, flexibility, openness), self-efficacy, communication (gathering history, sharing risk information, frequency) in a diverse group of women enrolled randomized control trial. Baseline survey data for 472 were analyzed. The women's average age was 34 years, 59% as Black, 31% had graduated...
Background: Knowing family history is important for understanding cancer risk, yet communication within families suboptimal. Providing strategies to enhance may be useful. Methods: Four hundred ninety women were recruited from urban, safety-net, hospital-based primary care women's health clinics. Participants randomized receive the KinFact intervention or control handout on lowering risks breast/colon and screening recommendations. Cancer was reviewed with all participants. The 20-minute...
Limited translational genomic research currently exists to guide the availability, comprehension, and appropriate use of personalized genomics in diverse general population subgroups. Melanoma skin cancers are preventable, curable, common population, disproportionately increasing Hispanics.Variants melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene present approximately 50% major factors determining sun sensitivity, confer a 2-to-3-fold increase melanoma risk even populations with darker skin. Therefore,...
Purpose: Tumor genomic profiling (TGP) can reveal secondary findings about inherited disease risks in a patient with cancer. Little is known how patients advanced cancer, currently the primary users of TGP, perceive benefits and harms germline findings. Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews 40 breast, bladder, colorectal, or lung cancer who had TGP. Qualitative interview data were evaluated by using thematic content analysis approach. Results: Most participants expressed interest...
<h3>Importance</h3> Germline variants in the<i>MC1R</i>gene are common and confer moderate melanoma risk those with varied skin types. Approaches to precision cancer prevention that include genetic information may promote awareness reduction the general population, including Hispanics. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine prevalence of interest uptake of<i>MC1R</i>testing population patterns across demographic factors. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A randomized clinical trial examined...
Although individuals recognize the importance of knowing their family’s health history for own health, relatively few people (e.g., less than a third in one national survey) collect this type information. This study examines rates family communication about cancer, and predictors sample English-speaking Latino young adults. A total 224 adults completed survey that included measures on communication, cultural factors, religious commitment, cancer worry. We found reported collecting...
Abstract Rates of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers are on the rise in USA with data revealing disproportionate increase female young adults. The popularity intentional tanning among U.S. adolescents is attributed to several factors, including prioritization physical appearance, media images tanned celebrities, ease availability artificial facilities, more recently, prevalence celebration social media. Pinterest, as third most popular platform, was searched for “pins” about tanning....
In patients with advanced cancers, tumor genomic profiling (TGP) can reveal secondary germline findings (SGFs) regarding inherited disease risks. This study examines the process by which cancers would make decision about whether or not to learn these SGFs, and their preferences specific challenging scenarios including should be required receive SGFs returned family after a patient's death.We conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews 40 breast, bladder, colorectal, lung cancer who had...
Despite the benefits of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment, rates adherence to treatment are suboptimal. This proof-of-concept study assessed feasibility, acceptability, and clinical significance an adaptive strategy improve PAP. All participants first completed a brief educational intervention. Those who did not show at least 25% increase in PAP use were randomized receive second, more intensive intervention, either motivational enhancement or self-management treatment. Results...
Abstract Background Melanoma patients are advised to perform regular risk‐reduction practices, including sun protection as well skin self‐examinations (SSEs) and physician‐led examinations. Melanoma‐specific communication regarding family risk screening may promote such behaviors. To this end, associations between patients' melanoma‐specific reduction were examined. Methods ( N = 169) drawn from a population‐based cancer registry reported their current perceived of future melanoma, with...
Older adults, particularly in minority and lower income communities, continue to receive less mental health care relative the general population. Concurrently, there has been increasing emphasis on need integrate services into primary settings. This push toward integration presents a unique opportunity help close gap underserved populations, including older adults. We discuss factors that have influenced this trend specifically address role of care–based psychologists treating psychological...
Women hold diverse beliefs about cancer etiology, potentially affecting their use of preventive behaviors. Research has primarily focused on causal attributions survivors and participants from non-diverse backgrounds hold. Less is known held by women with without a family history community sample. Participants reported factors they believed cause cancer. Open-ended responses were coded relations between the top key explored. Findings suggest certain socio-cultural play role in make cancer,...
Abstract The goal of an acid fracture treatment is to generate a highly conductive pathway sufficient length from the reservoir wellbore. Depth penetration live critical factor in determining success acid-fracturing treatment. controlled by reaction rate, leakoff, and stimulation rate. Acid rate function several factors, most important which temperature. Yet another concern, fracturing long carbonate intervals, attaining necessary diversion ensure that multiple sets perforations are...
