This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs that African Americans in the Central Valley of California had concerning the topic of HIV/AIDS. The primary questions of this study were: 1) What factors do African Americans believe contribute to the HIV/AIDS epidemic? and 2) How do African Americans feel about a culturally specific HIV/AIDS prevention and sex education program? This study used a quantitative design and collected data by way of an electronic survey via Qualtrics and hard copy form. The survey consisted of forty-two questions that were divided into 5 specific parts: medical history, knowledge of HIV/AIDS and sex education, attitudes beliefs, and demographics. A total of fifty-nine participants, with an age range of 18 to 70+, completed the survey. In general, participants demonstrated knowledge on the topic of HIV/AIDS but had slightly conflicting attitudes and beliefs regarding testing and being aware of the HIV status of their partners. The results concluded that African Americans in the Central Valley believe that factors such as drugs, poverty, lack of sex education, stigma, limited access to health care, incarceration, racism and discrimination, are all daily issues that place African Americans at risk of becoming infected with HIV/AIDS. The results also show that a majority of participants have positive feelings towards the implementation of a cultural specific HIV/AIDS prevention and sex education program.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndromes (AIDS) continue to be major global health priorities. Although forced displacement is believed to fuel HIV/AIDS epidemic in countries affected by conflict, factors associated with forced displacement and HIV risk in conflict-affected populations are not well understood. The aims of this study were therefore (1) to describe factors that influence risk for HIV infection in a Utah-based Burundi refugee population and (2) explore relationship between Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior/Practices (KABP) in order design targeted HIV/AIDS prevention interventions for the population. Results were controlled for known confounders. Attitude towards HIV/AIDS (b = 0.5071, p > 0.001) was a significant predictor of HIV/AIDS knowledge. Behavior/ practices were strongly associated with knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, gender, and household size. Overall, men were more knowledgeable than women and had higher self-efficacy. Women had more positive attitudes and scored higher behavior/practices.
