Abstract:

Many studies have examined sex differences in social physique anxiety; however, few researchers have examined possible perceptual differences in such anxiety based on ethnicity. The present purpose was to examine social physique anxiety among college-age women of Euro-American and African-American descent. Participants ( N = 91) from physical activity classes at a university located in the southeastern United States completed the Social Physique Anxiety Scale. The participants were 67 Euro-Americans and 24 African Americans. An independent t test yielded a significant difference ( p = .01) bet

Abstract:

James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man is considered by many as an early seminal censure and commentary on the contested racial issue of African American in the United States of America. This paper argues that the ‘invisible’ protagonist of the Novel has passed for white as early as his childhood years. The narrator relinquishes his black identity for the conveniences and supremacy that the white identity entails. This paper brings to question the credibility of narrative in the novel; also, it proves that the narrator contradicts himself. The invisible narrator appears

AbstractIn the twenty-five years before 1850, southern writers of regional literature and ex-slave autobiographers constructed a narrative of United States slavery that was mutually contradictory and yet mutually influential.

They nevertheless focussed on family and the South's distinctive culture.

Abstract:

Using the "think aloud" protocol, which allows for the collection of data in real time, the researcher audio taped comments from 13 white college students from a predominately white university in the Southeastern United States and 15 black students from a predominately black university, as they explained how they searched for HIV/AIDS information on the Internet. A grounded theory analysis of the tapes revealed a three-stage model that students progressed through as they searched for HIV/AIDS information on the Internet. That model also revealed that all of the white students searched for gene

Abstract:

Background Breast/Chestfeeding remains a public health issue for African Americans, and increased rates would mitigate many health disparities, thus promoting health equity. Research Aims To explore the interplay of generational familial roles and meaning (or value) ascribed to communicating infant feeding information across three generations. Method This prospective, cross-sectional qualitative study used an asset-driven approach and was guided by Black Feminist Thought and Symbolic Interactionism.

Abstract:

Introduction: African Americans are disproportionately affected by hypertension (HTN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Determining the population attributable risk (PAR) for CVD associated with HTN and prehypertension in African Americans can help inform policymakers and prioritize public health interventions. Methods: Among 3770 participants in the Jackson Heart Study without prevalent CVD, we used Cox-proportional hazard analysis adjusted for traditional CVD risk factors to determine the association of HTN and prehypertension with incident CVD and its components including coronary heart dis

Abstract:

The Mustafawi Tariqa is a transnational Sufi Order that was initiated in 1966 by the late Cheikh Mustafa Gueye Haydara (d. 1989) in Thiès, Senegal. Yet, only since 1994 has this specific Sufi network reached westward across the water, bringing American Muslims—many of whom are converts—into the larger network. In the United States, the majority of students who have entered the Tariqa and have declared allegiance (bayah) to Shaykh Arona Rashid Faye Al-Faqir are African-Americans who have inserted themselves religiously, culturally, and pedagogically into a West African Sufi tradition which emph

African American patient populations are disproportionately diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to non-Hispanic white adults. Research suggests a link between OSA and anxiety. However, OSA and anxiety symptoms may present differently across minority groups. Research examining the reliability and validity of measures used to assess anxiety symptom severity in African American patient populations living with OSA is needed.

Abstract:

Introduction: Hypertension is common in the Southeastern (SE) United States (US), which increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious health problems. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring is the gold standard for diagnosing hypertension and provides better information on cardio- and cerebrovascular risk than office blood pressure (BP). However, the role of social determinants of health (SDOH) and their influence on BP elevation has been scarcely examined on a neighborhood level. The Urban Health Index (UHI), developed by the World Health Organization, has the potential to

AbstractIn 2016, unprecedented intense wildfires burned over 150,000 acres in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States. Smoke from these fires greatly impacted the region and exposure to this smoke was significant. A bidirectional case‐crossover design was applied to assess the relationship between PM2.5 (a surrogate for wildfire smoke) exposure and respiratory‐ and cardiovascular‐related emergency department (ED) visits in Western North Carolina during these events. For 0‐, 3‐, and 7‐day lags, findings indicated a significant increase in the odds of being admitted to the ED for

Abstract:

Introduction: The Southeastern United States, known as the “the stroke belt,” has the highest stroke mortality rate in the country. One possible reason is the high proportion of its residents living in rural areas. Studies suggest stroke care is worse for patients living in rural areas, and they are less likely to receive acute stroke therapy (intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular therapy), leading to worse outcomes. We compared 90-day modified Rankin Score (mRS) between patients living in urban versus rural areas who received acute stroke therapy. Methods: We performed a retrospective anal

PurposeStudies have shown that science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers remain to be one of the areas where there is considerable job growth (Lacey & Wright, 2009; National Science Board, 2010; Singh et al., 2002). However, in many rural regions, science teachers still find it challenging to motivate adolescents to develop an interest in these fields or pursue opportunities in STEM at their schools or in their communities. In exploring a distinctive way to motivate students from rural regions to develop and maintain a STEM mindset, the authors provided students oppor

Staples of early United States Internet meme culture were sold via digital auctions for cryptocurrency (except one, which was sold for cash) throughout 2021. Through these transactions, Internet memes, or “the linguistic, image, audio, and video texts created, circulated, and transformed by countless cultural participants across vast networks and collectives” (Milner 1), were “minted” as non-fungible tokens—a marker within cryptocurrency economy that denotes the level of originality or irreplaceability of an (often digital) artifact (Wired).
