Abstract:

The labor-force participation of African-American married women in the southern United States was increasing during a period of deteriorating labor markets when that of African-American men was decreasing. Although the effect of this development on the African-American family was complex, the trend was certainly a sign of limited progress for these women. The jobs that they were able to acquire were generally better than their customary work since the Civil War, despite the adverse labor-market shocks to which African-American families were subject.

Abstract:

African American women are more likely to be classified as overweight or obese than European American women and little is known about this phenomenon. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of overweight and obese African American older women living in the southern regions of the United States. Semistructured, audiotaped interviews were conducted to elicit narratives from nine participants. Interview data were transcribed verbatim and then coded and analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis framework. Three major categories emerged: impact of healt

Abstract:

This paper attempts to explore Celie’s struggle for independence in a male dominated African American society as depicted in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1982). Focusing on the lives of African-American women in the Southern United states during 1930s, it unfolds the events of black male brutality towards black women. It exposes the ways that the central character, Celie, pursues, when she proceeds to her long journey to freedom. Celie passes through a difficult path of racial/patriarchal oppression before she gets sovereignty. She accepts the solidarity of the female community to accompli

The study aims to explore the shared experiences of Georgia Douglas Johnson and Zora Neale Hurston, incorporating the elements of African-American folklore in American theatre to negotiate the circumstances of black women. In addition, it scrutinizes how Johnson and Hurston utilize folk drama to navigate the political and artistic conflicts in the early 20th century, delving into the intricate interplay of ethnicity, gender, politics, and aesthetics. The study examines two folk plays from the Harlem Renaissance era: Johnson’s Plumes (1927) and Hurston’s Color Struck (1926). Both plays illustra

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology is designed to provide more human to machine communication options.

Word prediction was observed to be better for AAE compared to majority dialects. The opposite was true for word identification accuracy. The researchers hypothesize the higher word error rate for AAE is related to phonetic factors of vowel duration, consonant production, rhythm, pitch, and syllable accent.

Rates of appropriate screening remain low, which could also be related to patient awareness and knowledge about optimal screening modalities/schedules. Appropriate screening is even more critical for African-American women, in whom there are higher rates of genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA) conferring a greater risk of high-risk breast cancer.

Despite its proven effectiveness, PrEP remains significantly underutilized in this population.

The Progressive Era South is rich in its journals, novels, short stories, and articles expressing reform-minded concern.

Abstract:

ObjectiveSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with variable mortality rates among different demographic groups. Despite treatment advancements, disparities in SLE outcomes continue to exist.MethodsThis study used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide‐ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database data from 1999 to 2022 to examine SLE‐related mortality trends. Age‐adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were calculated, and Joinpoint regression was employed to evaluate annual percentage changes (APCs) over time for mortality stratified by gender, ra

Abstract:

Memorials romanticizing the short-lived Confederate States of America remain scattered across public spaces. Yet, little research examines whether memorials are consequential for residents that live proximate to them. This study relies on insights from social stress theory to examine associations between the local presence of public Confederate memorials and the mental health of African American and Afro-Caribbean adults. Data for this study are merged from the National Survey of American Life (n=4,740) and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s census of Confederate memorials. We examine associati

Abstract Introduction Although considered to be relatively rare in women, the prevalence of anal cancer is high among persons living with HIV. According to the CDC, cis-gendered Black women accounted for 91% of all new HIV infections in the U.S., with the greatest concentration being in the Southern United States (U.S.). Anal cancer poses significant emotional, social, and physical challenges, with potential implications for their sexual health and overall well-being. The State of Florida, located in the Southern U.S. has one of the highest rates of anal cancer in the country. Our objective is

Abstract Purpose The causes for the survival disparity among Black women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are likely multi-factorial. Here we describe the African American Cancer Epidemiology Study (AACES), the largest cohort of Black women with EOC. Methods AACES phase 2 (enrolled 2020 onward) is a multi-site, population-based study focused on overall survival (OS) of EOC. Rapid case ascertainment is used in ongoing patient recruitment in eight U.S. states, both northern and southern.

Horrified by the sight of the lynching of African Americans, Abel Meeropol wrote a poem called Strange Fruit that is perhaps better known in the form of the 1939 rendition by Billie Holiday. African Americans continued to suffer lynching for many decades after the American Civil War—mostly in the South, but also in many other states all around the country. Being black meant risking being turned into a strange fruit hanging from a poplar tree, giving off the smell of burnt flesh as it swung in the southern breeze.

Background: Awareness and uptake of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remains low among Black/African American cisgender women, partly due to low self-reported PrEP knowledge and comfort among primary care providers. Ensuring providers are trained on PrEP is crucial, as increased PrEP knowledge is associated with higher rates of PrEP prescription. Objective: We aimed to develop a PrEP training for providers to improve their self-efficacy in discussing and prescribing PrEP for Black women, with the ultimate goal of increasing PrEP awareness and utilization among
