Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program Tailored to Increase Participation of Black and Latino Men: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program Tailored to Increase Participation of Black and Latino Men: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In the United States, Black and Latino populations are 2-3 times more likely to die of diabetes-related complications than their White counterparts [2]. In general, more men than women have prediabetes, and fewer men are aware of their condition than women [4]. Men are more likely than women to be hospitalized for long-term complications of diabetes and more than twice as likely as women to have a leg or foot amputated.

Adapting a Mobile Health App for Smoking Cessation in Black Adults With Anxiety Through an Analysis of the Mobile Anxiety Sensitivity Program Proof-of-Concept Trial: Qualitative Study

Black or African American (hereafter referred to as Black) adults who smoke experience significant tobacco-related health disparities [1]. Black adults who smoke are at higher risk for tobacco-related death and disease, including lung cancer [2,3], heart disease, and stroke [4]. On average, Black adults who smoke initiate smoking later in life and smoke fewer cigarettes per day relative to their European American or White counterparts [5,6].

Designing the First Pregnancy Guaranteed Income Program in the United States: Qualitative Needs Assessment and Human-Centered Design to Develop the Abundant Birth Project

Pregnancy is a critical period of development when stress can have deleterious effects on both the pregnant person and their baby, leading to adverse birth and long-term health outcomes [1,2] that disproportionately affect Black, Indigenous, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander people [3,4]. In the United States, Black infants are twice as likely to be born preterm or with low birth weight compared to White infants [3].

Implementation of a Social Media Strategy for Public Health Promotion in Black, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Hispanic or Latino Communities During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Study

Individuals from Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic or Latino communities were disproportionately impacted by the SARS-Co V-2 virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple studies reported that Black, Hispanic, and American Indian or Alaska Native communities had higher hospitalization rates and death rates across the country [1,2].

Tailoring HIV Care for Black Populations: A Pilot Feasibility Prospective Cohort Study

Tailoring HIV Care for Black Populations: A Pilot Feasibility Prospective Cohort Study

Despite this, Black populations are disproportionately impacted by poor HIV outcomes, and the incidence rate among the Black communities in Miami-Dade County, Florida, is among the highest in the United States. Accounting for 15% of the region’s population, Black Miamians comprise nearly 70% of the region’s AIDS-related deaths, highlighting vast underutilization of HIV resources [1,2].

Patient Perspectives on AI for Mental Health Care: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Patient Perspectives on AI for Mental Health Care: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Table 2 reveals that participants of Black or African American race (P=.04; odds ratio [OR] 1.76, 95% CI 1.03-3.05) and those with lower health literacy (P=.004; OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.29-3.78) were significantly more likely to endorse that AI would make mental health care somewhat or much better. Women, by contrast, were significantly less likely to endorse this statement (P=.046; OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.46-0.99).
