American men's perceptions of medical services, experiences receiving care, and behaviors following care have rarely been explored. This presentation examines social, cultural and historical factors that shape African American men's medical help-seeking behavior Methods: We conducted thematic analysis of data derived from 14 focus groups with 110 urban African American men with a mean age of 55 from Flint and Ypsilanti, Michigan, U.S.A. Results: Many African American men avoided medical care because they were afraid, although they did not articulate why. The men also described current normative expectations that they not go to the doctor, which were consistent with stereotypes of African American men and lessons learned from modeling and socialization during their upbringing. When they did seek care, men reported that medical providers were frequently disrespectful and unhelpful, often making lifestyle change recommendations without offering practical advice on how to implement these changes. Though rarely valued alone, providers' recommendations were respected most when consistent with medical test results and other sources of health information. After receiving care, men tended to base their health behavior decisions on how they would affect their priorities, especially caring for their families and their quality of life. Spouses, medical test results, and men's desire to fulfill social roles were key motivational and instrumental factors in their following medical advice. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need to consider African American men's sociocultural context and negative perceptions of the health system in order to increase their rates of medical help-seeking and adherence.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2010,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Journal of Men's Health","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":60634524},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/40384236/Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor_Perspectives_of_Urban_African_American_Men_on_Medical_Help_Seeking","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2019-09-18T08:22:48.252-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":60634524,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60634524/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60634524/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk3OSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60634524/j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f-libre.pdf?1568820783=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DBeyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815579\u0026Signature=hCX3Za4zi~sxsBMWyWomYhmcvHfy82-MV6nn80kI4lOCCYReX59p1FdTAQPIxUttxVx51FAaAD0yQvD~V7e~QtI0Ee3zJO53aswdM9aSqb6g2MB2rZYgYQ1plONX~Vyew8vDn596NmIqeRFzADVuP1vyH6-VQCQycxbEOL2CrUJqL~0EwkOPyGvI~ZeMpuaTWCb0DBFXUqGwEq9emM2zM~6UoaG~FA6dBJgi7-Koplh8hzYBftPQ0R1tNw51O~PxULtNX4qmoRNuS5HidwtQ-XDkAxR9RmxIhbzEZTXNDxgj7g49gLejKD4D4ELFV9eSVamMYM5i5lgNb2PSz~6QlA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor_Perspectives_of_Urban_African_American_Men_on_Medical_Help_Seeking","translated_slug":"","page_count":1,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":60634524,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60634524/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60634524/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk3OSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60634524/j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f-libre.pdf?1568820783=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DBeyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815579\u0026Signature=hCX3Za4zi~sxsBMWyWomYhmcvHfy82-MV6nn80kI4lOCCYReX59p1FdTAQPIxUttxVx51FAaAD0yQvD~V7e~QtI0Ee3zJO53aswdM9aSqb6g2MB2rZYgYQ1plONX~Vyew8vDn596NmIqeRFzADVuP1vyH6-VQCQycxbEOL2CrUJqL~0EwkOPyGvI~ZeMpuaTWCb0DBFXUqGwEq9emM2zM~6UoaG~FA6dBJgi7-Koplh8hzYBftPQ0R1tNw51O~PxULtNX4qmoRNuS5HidwtQ-XDkAxR9RmxIhbzEZTXNDxgj7g49gLejKD4D4ELFV9eSVamMYM5i5lgNb2PSz~6QlA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

We use the March Current Population Survey (2000 - 2010) to examine educational gradients in self-rated health among recent immigrants (≤ 15 years duration), longer-term immigrants (\u0026gt; 15 years duration), and second generation US-born Asians from China (n = 4473), India (...","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112764/Educational_gradients_in_five_Asian_immigrant_populations_Do_country_of_origin_duration_and_generational_status_moderate_the_education_health_relationship","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:30.087-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Educational_gradients_in_five_Asian_immigrant_populations_Do_country_of_origin_duration_and_generational_status_moderate_the_education_health_relationship","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="30112763"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112763/Cohort_and_duration_patterns_among_asian_immigrants_comparing_trends_in_obesity_and_self_rated_health"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Cohort and duration patterns among asian immigrants: comparing trends in obesity and self-rated health" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112763/Cohort_and_duration_patterns_among_asian_immigrants_comparing_trends_in_obesity_and_self_rated_health">Cohort and duration patterns among asian immigrants: comparing trends in obesity and self-rated health</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Biodemography and social biology</span><span>, 2015</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Many studies, but not all, suggest that immigrant health worsens with duration of residence in th...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Many studies, but not all, suggest that immigrant health worsens with duration of residence in the United States.

We aimed to characterize the health of Mexican American men living on the US-Mexico border in South Texas and elucidate indications of chronic disease in young men. We sampled all male participants from the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort, an ongoing population-based cohort of Mexican Americans in Brownsville, Texas. We calculated descriptive statistics and stratified the sample into 3 age groups to estimate the prevalence of sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors by age group and evaluated differences between age groups. Obesity prevalence was approximately 50% across all age groups (P = .83). Diabetes prevalence was high overall (26.8%), and 16.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.1%-23.8%) of men younger than 35 had diabetes. More than 70% of these young men had elevated liver enzymes, and mean values of aspartate aminotransferase were significantly higher in younger men (45.0 u/L; 95% CI, 39.5-50.6 u/L) than in both older age groups. Less than 20% of young men had any form of health insurance. Current smoking was higher in young men than in men in the other groups, and the rate was higher than the national prevalence of current smoking among Hispanic men. We suggest a need for obesity and diabetes prevention programs and smoking cessation programs for men in this region. Opportunities exist to expand current intervention programs and tailor them to better reach this vulnerable population of young Hispanic men. Elevated liver enzymes in men younger than 35 suggest a substantial burden of liver abnormalities, a finding that warrants further study.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30112761"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30112761"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30112761; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=30112761]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=30112761]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30112761; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='30112761']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 30112761, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=30112761]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":30112761,"title":"The Precarious Health of Young Mexican American Men in South Texas, Cameron County Hispanic Cohort, 2004–2015","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Hispanic men have higher rates of illness and death from various chronic conditions than do non-Hispanic men.

Daily spirituality is associated with whether an individual attempts to lose weight. The results from logistic regression models suggest that daily spirituality increases the odds that African American male adolescents attempt to lose weight (OR = 1.22, CI: 1.07-1.41) and have a history of diet-focused weight management (OR = 1.13, CI: 1.02-1.26). Future studies are needed to further explore the association between religion, spirituality, and obesity-related behaviors.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112760/Spirituality_Religiosity_and_Weight_Management_Among_African_American_Adolescent_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:27.796-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Spirituality_Religiosity_and_Weight_Management_Among_African_American_Adolescent_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":221,"name":"Psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Psychology"},{"id":19674,"name":"Behavioral Medicine","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Behavioral_Medicine"},{"id":244814,"name":"Clinical Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Clinical_Sciences"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="30112759"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112759/An_International_Psychology_of_Men_Theoretical_Advances_Case_Studies_and_Clinical_Innovations"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of An International Psychology of Men: Theoretical Advances, Case Studies, and Clinical Innovations" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112759/An_International_Psychology_of_Men_Theoretical_Advances_Case_Studies_and_Clinical_Innovations">An International Psychology of Men: Theoretical Advances, Case Studies, and Clinical Innovations</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>International Journal of Men S Health</span><span>, Oct 1, 2011</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">...

Assessing the health outcomes of racial minority groups by comparing them to a racial majority standard is valuable for identifying and monitoring health inequities, but may not be the most effective approach to identifying strategies that can be used to improve minority health outcomes. Health promotion planning models and public health history both suggest that minority health promotion is more likely to be derived from interventions rooted in culturally and historically grounded contextual factors. In this essay, we highlight limitations of comparative approaches to minority health research and argue that integrating emic (or within-group) approaches may facilitate research and interventions more consonant with national goals to promote health and reduce disparities than comparative approaches.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":9,"year":2007,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50575573},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112758/Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Disparities_Reconsidering_Comparative_Approaches","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:27.397-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50575573,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575573/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575573/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575573/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271339=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=KtzgvhlmMpJ2ybJYybUyQjODM0BLp1bB2DTnfQoZkq9WHw7GJG9HwMHk9NE4~pILsgrP5PuTMIL-CCf8VM~nFligecE6pEecu2pYm0F5Q2caumuiluCnDcPaetTPdENJHecan6~R-6P2-S-yfrqMMPq4J7PUVvZeN~OnKlEWZ1HDMKmPqOsuATSRi6CztADwlvB5iRXziUVGAaoHyLMWgqymMijP0UH2DJV1dhNhu-Qg-u4H-gf6d60nmiXp2ghuMqOJqrkM8rPscfhh76Y6sUYKd9jNzaJ0lL~McwBqWzgHjsynt41QUJAf10Bzqz4xpqD4GH90nOyO5TfNEiSdaA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Disparities_Reconsidering_Comparative_Approaches","translated_slug":"","page_count":14,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":50575573,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575573/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575573/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575573/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271339=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=KtzgvhlmMpJ2ybJYybUyQjODM0BLp1bB2DTnfQoZkq9WHw7GJG9HwMHk9NE4~pILsgrP5PuTMIL-CCf8VM~nFligecE6pEecu2pYm0F5Q2caumuiluCnDcPaetTPdENJHecan6~R-6P2-S-yfrqMMPq4J7PUVvZeN~OnKlEWZ1HDMKmPqOsuATSRi6CztADwlvB5iRXziUVGAaoHyLMWgqymMijP0UH2DJV1dhNhu-Qg-u4H-gf6d60nmiXp2ghuMqOJqrkM8rPscfhh76Y6sUYKd9jNzaJ0lL~McwBqWzgHjsynt41QUJAf10Bzqz4xpqD4GH90nOyO5TfNEiSdaA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":981,"name":"Health Promotion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Promotion"},{"id":7428,"name":"Health Education","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Education"},{"id":7437,"name":"Health Disparities","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Disparities"}],"urls":[{"id":7772741,"url":"http://health-equity.pitt.edu/889/"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Results from ordinary least squared regression analysis indicate that the DBP for boys carrying excess weight was 4.2 mm Hg (P\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;.01) higher than the corresponding DBP for their normal weight counterparts, after controlling for age, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, and sleep. Additional studies are needed to specify the manner through which excess weight and weight gain can accelerate the development and progression of CVD-related diseases among African American males over the life course, thereby providing evidenced-based information for tailored interventions that can reduce risks for premature morbidity, disability, and mortality among this group.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112757/Weight_Status_and_Blood_Pressure_among_Adolescent_African_American_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:27.262-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Weight_Status_and_Blood_Pressure_among_Adolescent_African_American_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":3851,"name":"Obesity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Obesity"},{"id":22506,"name":"Adolescent","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Adolescent"},{"id":71399,"name":"Hypertension","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hypertension"},{"id":88321,"name":"Blood Pressure","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Blood_Pressure"},{"id":98134,"name":"United States","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/United_States"},{"id":174502,"name":"Incidence","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Incidence"},{"id":192721,"name":"Risk factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Risk_factors"},{"id":233800,"name":"African Americans","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/African_Americans"},{"id":410370,"name":"Public health systems and services research","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Public_health_systems_and_services_research-1"},{"id":564878,"name":"Body Weight","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Body_Weight"},{"id":620049,"name":"Risk Factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Risk_Factors-1"},{"id":945595,"name":"Pilot Projects","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Pilot_Projects"},{"id":1034181,"name":"Cross Sectional Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cross_Sectional_Studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="30112756"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112756/Visible_and_Invisible_Trends_in_African_American_Men_s_Health_Pitfalls_and_Promises_for_Addressing_Inequalities"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Visible and Invisible Trends in African American Men’s Health: Pitfalls and Promises for Addressing Inequalities" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112756/Visible_and_Invisible_Trends_in_African_American_Men_s_Health_Pitfalls_and_Promises_for_Addressing_Inequalities">Visible and Invisible Trends in African American Men’s Health: Pitfalls and Promises for Addressing Inequalities</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Annual Review of Public Health</span><span>, 2016</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Over the past two decades, there has been growing interest in improving black men&amp;amp;amp;amp...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Over the past two decades, there has been growing interest in improving black men&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s health and the health disparities affecting them.

Assessing the health outcomes of racial minority groups by comparing them to a racial majority standard is valuable for identifying and monitoring health inequities, but may not be the most effective approach to identifying strategies that can be used to improve minority health outcomes. Health promotion planning models and public health history both suggest that minority health promotion is more likely to be derived from interventions rooted in culturally and historically grounded contextual factors. In this essay, we highlight limitations of comparative approaches to minority health research and argue that integrating emic (or within-group) approaches may facilitate research and interventions more consonant with national goals to promote health and reduce disparities than comparative approaches.","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50575570},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112753/Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_disparities_reconsidering_comparative_approaches","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:26.645-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50575570,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575570/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575570/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575570/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271341=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=BWsV6siRSmCtCSrg4mFzpyKV2qZsUZZ7LTtnTxcmI-lZPcutNhsJQOKfb5aQTgxl8mv7jR65Pzj10-FhpKQPijRcMEONQ0KdLxrxDzJQfQweWbKv0ylaVZrM1Giv8M8wVUbQlsdw9jKodrultq7z1RZ410MnxwU2rMt1Xg5xBHfbr~IFG8n7y5kmEWt6iyTFalLZYZJoqjW99Yp15DiJV-LmGZ264Xs8lfR8o1cgM3Xa0LRbqYql3JxiT1j~lcK58UAUyvxG41FkIBqvNpnFAnXNgvPP8aUInDjIDSa3hu4KBdBmLGBngQKpt1IJmCVGYA5K2YZ-zrBtcLhmjo0f~A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_disparities_reconsidering_comparative_approaches","translated_slug":"","page_count":14,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":50575570,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575570/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575570/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575570/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271341=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=BWsV6siRSmCtCSrg4mFzpyKV2qZsUZZ7LTtnTxcmI-lZPcutNhsJQOKfb5aQTgxl8mv7jR65Pzj10-FhpKQPijRcMEONQ0KdLxrxDzJQfQweWbKv0ylaVZrM1Giv8M8wVUbQlsdw9jKodrultq7z1RZ410MnxwU2rMt1Xg5xBHfbr~IFG8n7y5kmEWt6iyTFalLZYZJoqjW99Yp15DiJV-LmGZ264Xs8lfR8o1cgM3Xa0LRbqYql3JxiT1j~lcK58UAUyvxG41FkIBqvNpnFAnXNgvPP8aUInDjIDSa3hu4KBdBmLGBngQKpt1IJmCVGYA5K2YZ-zrBtcLhmjo0f~A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":981,"name":"Health Promotion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Promotion"},{"id":7428,"name":"Health Education","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Education"},{"id":7437,"name":"Health Disparities","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Disparities"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

We identified 22 population-based studies that included a measure of masculinity and a measure of health behavior, mental health, or physical health. The associations between masculinity and health were complex and varied by construct and health outcome, though they generally were significant in the hypothesized directions. Future research should explore the centrality of masculinity versus other identities and characteristics, how the relationship between masculinity and health varies by health outcome, and the identification of the conceptions and aspects of masculinity that are most relevant to and associated with specific health behaviors and health outcomes.

healthy eating of any race by gender group in the United States. Traditionally, interventions to promote healthy eating have focused on the health benefits of behavior change and teaching practical skills and knowledge around healthier eating. Self-Determination Theory, however, suggests that it is also important to identify and promote intrinsic motivation, or how the behavior change is consistent with an individual’s interests, preferences and goals. In this presentation we will describe our preliminary findings from a study designed to individually-tailor healthy eating messages to African American men as part of a health communications intervention. Using data from our phenomenological analysis of 64 individual interviews with 35-74 year old African American men, we highlight the importance of identifying key sources of intrinsic motivation to create and maintain healthier eating patterns. The men who tended to have healthier daily eating practices also tended to find creative ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into each meal. They noted that they ate healthier because they felt better and had more energy when they did.

Methods: Nine immigrant Latino men from 3 urban housing communities in the Southeastern US used photovoice, an innovative qualitative research methodology, to identify, explore, share their lived experiences. Results: Mean age of participants was 22.8; all self-identified as Latino; reported completing equivalent to eighth grade or below; and reported having had sexual intercourse with women as opposed to men in the past 2 years. From the participants&amp;#39; photographs and words, 13 themes emerged from the analysis of photo-discussions. These themes were organized into 4 domains: (1) the immigration experience and (2) sociocultural norms and expectations of masculinity as factors that the participants identified as decreasing Latino men&amp;#39;s sense of power and increasing their stress, which in turn lead to sexual risk; and (3) Latino community strengths and (4) general community strengths as factors that the participants identified as promoting sexual health and preventing risk. These themes were compiled into a theoretic model developed by the participants to explain sexual risk of immigrant Latino men. Conclusions: This study obtained rich qualitative insight into the lived experiences of immigrant Latino men in a region of the US that is experiencing both the fastest growing immigrant Latino population in the country and disproportionate HIV and STD infection rates.

Thematic content analysis was used to analyze data from nine exploratory focus groups conducted with 83 urban, middle-aged and older African American men from southeast Michigan. The men distinguished between healthy and unhealthy foods and \"meals\" versus other instances of eating. Eating patterns and content differed depending on the meal, work and family schedules, food availability, and whether it was a weekday or weekend. When eating alone or outside the home, men prioritized convenience and preferences for tasty, unhealthy foods. Men often reported skipping breakfast or lunch and grabbing snacks or fast food during the day. They emphasized sharing dinner with their spouses and families-usually a home-cooked, \"healthy\" meal. On weekends, spouses often cooked less and men snacked and dined out more frequently. Sunday dinners involving favorite, unhealthy comfort foods were the highlight of men's eating practices. African American men tended not to follow healthy eating recommendations because of their busy lives, reliance on spouses to prepare food, and preferences for unhealthy foods. These findings suggest that healthy eating interventions must consider how the contexts of African American men's lives shape their eating practices.","publication_date":{"day":31,"month":10,"year":2011,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50575578},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112744/I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cultural_factors_that_influence_African_American_mens_eating_patterns","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:13.726-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50575578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575578/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575578/I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u-libre.pdf?1480271335=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DI_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=F6fBA6~PlSXNYOJSzIyGA7EtQVDTEaRvlW~qkfmSsh04-16Hfv0PAuE5X8Fbsp7lv7P89d2-lXtSlkj5jVRuPV--lgfs2OAOEhXbHL~8Ccer1g-G~Ik92HIrtXDsw4fKTGAetCZYUxCX6Cpovk4LbRYJawrrZIdAQp8BAGNWpTrZ4o-7Dk-NiQtb4YGnkrmEN~BmfctHt~yAcumZFXuoABVfZSsIm0kiIwyHrVZhzOAPmpRvfoHWyrWnZCDUD3VDTjUedDpgBUO3SXMo0OdjGrgA8Zhl8akaWQTSwM9rbf8KjSeL2~1aRwJZGEPridkDSeyHlQpkYd7jDeapPJbLmA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cultural_factors_that_influence_African_American_mens_eating_patterns","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":50575578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575578/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575578/I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u-libre.pdf?1480271335=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DI_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=F6fBA6~PlSXNYOJSzIyGA7EtQVDTEaRvlW~qkfmSsh04-16Hfv0PAuE5X8Fbsp7lv7P89d2-lXtSlkj5jVRuPV--lgfs2OAOEhXbHL~8Ccer1g-G~Ik92HIrtXDsw4fKTGAetCZYUxCX6Cpovk4LbRYJawrrZIdAQp8BAGNWpTrZ4o-7Dk-NiQtb4YGnkrmEN~BmfctHt~yAcumZFXuoABVfZSsIm0kiIwyHrVZhzOAPmpRvfoHWyrWnZCDUD3VDTjUedDpgBUO3SXMo0OdjGrgA8Zhl8akaWQTSwM9rbf8KjSeL2~1aRwJZGEPridkDSeyHlQpkYd7jDeapPJbLmA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This presentation examines social, cultural and historical factors that shape African American men's medical help-seeking behavior Methods: We conducted thematic analysis of data derived from 14 focus groups with 110 urban African American men with a mean age of 55 from Flint and Ypsilanti, Michigan, U.S.A. Results: Many African American men avoided medical care because they were afraid, although they did not articulate why. The men also described current normative expectations that they not go to the doctor, which were consistent with stereotypes of African American men and lessons learned from modeling and socialization during their upbringing. When they did seek care, men reported that medical providers were frequently disrespectful and unhelpful, often making lifestyle change recommendations without offering practical advice on how to implement these changes. Though rarely valued alone, providers' recommendations were respected most when consistent with medical test results and other sources of health information. After receiving care, men tended to base their health behavior decisions on how they would affect their priorities, especially caring for their families and their quality of life. Spouses, medical test results, and men's desire to fulfill social roles were key motivational and instrumental factors in their following medical advice. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need to consider African American men's sociocultural context and negative perceptions of the health system in order to increase their rates of medical help-seeking and adherence.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2010,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Journal of Men's Health","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":60634524},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/40384236/Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor_Perspectives_of_Urban_African_American_Men_on_Medical_Help_Seeking","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2019-09-18T08:22:48.252-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":60634524,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60634524/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60634524/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk3OSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60634524/j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f-libre.pdf?1568820783=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DBeyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815579\u0026Signature=hCX3Za4zi~sxsBMWyWomYhmcvHfy82-MV6nn80kI4lOCCYReX59p1FdTAQPIxUttxVx51FAaAD0yQvD~V7e~QtI0Ee3zJO53aswdM9aSqb6g2MB2rZYgYQ1plONX~Vyew8vDn596NmIqeRFzADVuP1vyH6-VQCQycxbEOL2CrUJqL~0EwkOPyGvI~ZeMpuaTWCb0DBFXUqGwEq9emM2zM~6UoaG~FA6dBJgi7-Koplh8hzYBftPQ0R1tNw51O~PxULtNX4qmoRNuS5HidwtQ-XDkAxR9RmxIhbzEZTXNDxgj7g49gLejKD4D4ELFV9eSVamMYM5i5lgNb2PSz~6QlA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor_Perspectives_of_Urban_African_American_Men_on_Medical_Help_Seeking","translated_slug":"","page_count":1,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":60634524,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/60634524/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/60634524/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk3OSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Beyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/60634524/j.jomh.2010.09.06120190918-3810-1hns19f-libre.pdf?1568820783=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DBeyond_We_Don_t_Like_to_Go_to_the_Doctor.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815579\u0026Signature=hCX3Za4zi~sxsBMWyWomYhmcvHfy82-MV6nn80kI4lOCCYReX59p1FdTAQPIxUttxVx51FAaAD0yQvD~V7e~QtI0Ee3zJO53aswdM9aSqb6g2MB2rZYgYQ1plONX~Vyew8vDn596NmIqeRFzADVuP1vyH6-VQCQycxbEOL2CrUJqL~0EwkOPyGvI~ZeMpuaTWCb0DBFXUqGwEq9emM2zM~6UoaG~FA6dBJgi7-Koplh8hzYBftPQ0R1tNw51O~PxULtNX4qmoRNuS5HidwtQ-XDkAxR9RmxIhbzEZTXNDxgj7g49gLejKD4D4ELFV9eSVamMYM5i5lgNb2PSz~6QlA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

We use the March Current Population Survey (2000 - 2010) to examine educational gradients in self-rated health among recent immigrants (≤ 15 years duration), longer-term immigrants (\u0026gt; 15 years duration), and second generation US-born Asians from China (n = 4473), India (...","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112764/Educational_gradients_in_five_Asian_immigrant_populations_Do_country_of_origin_duration_and_generational_status_moderate_the_education_health_relationship","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:30.087-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Educational_gradients_in_five_Asian_immigrant_populations_Do_country_of_origin_duration_and_generational_status_moderate_the_education_health_relationship","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="30112763"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112763/Cohort_and_duration_patterns_among_asian_immigrants_comparing_trends_in_obesity_and_self_rated_health"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Cohort and duration patterns among asian immigrants: comparing trends in obesity and self-rated health" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112763/Cohort_and_duration_patterns_among_asian_immigrants_comparing_trends_in_obesity_and_self_rated_health">Cohort and duration patterns among asian immigrants: comparing trends in obesity and self-rated health</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Biodemography and social biology</span><span>, 2015</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Many studies, but not all, suggest that immigrant health worsens with duration of residence in th...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Many studies, but not all, suggest that immigrant health worsens with duration of residence in the United States.

We aimed to characterize the health of Mexican American men living on the US-Mexico border in South Texas and elucidate indications of chronic disease in young men. We sampled all male participants from the Cameron County Hispanic Cohort, an ongoing population-based cohort of Mexican Americans in Brownsville, Texas. We calculated descriptive statistics and stratified the sample into 3 age groups to estimate the prevalence of sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors by age group and evaluated differences between age groups. Obesity prevalence was approximately 50% across all age groups (P = .83). Diabetes prevalence was high overall (26.8%), and 16.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.1%-23.8%) of men younger than 35 had diabetes. More than 70% of these young men had elevated liver enzymes, and mean values of aspartate aminotransferase were significantly higher in younger men (45.0 u/L; 95% CI, 39.5-50.6 u/L) than in both older age groups. Less than 20% of young men had any form of health insurance. Current smoking was higher in young men than in men in the other groups, and the rate was higher than the national prevalence of current smoking among Hispanic men. We suggest a need for obesity and diabetes prevention programs and smoking cessation programs for men in this region. Opportunities exist to expand current intervention programs and tailor them to better reach this vulnerable population of young Hispanic men. Elevated liver enzymes in men younger than 35 suggest a substantial burden of liver abnormalities, a finding that warrants further study.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30112761"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30112761"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30112761; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=30112761]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=30112761]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30112761; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='30112761']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 30112761, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=30112761]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":30112761,"title":"The Precarious Health of Young Mexican American Men in South Texas, Cameron County Hispanic Cohort, 2004–2015","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Hispanic men have higher rates of illness and death from various chronic conditions than do non-Hispanic men.

Daily spirituality is associated with whether an individual attempts to lose weight. The results from logistic regression models suggest that daily spirituality increases the odds that African American male adolescents attempt to lose weight (OR = 1.22, CI: 1.07-1.41) and have a history of diet-focused weight management (OR = 1.13, CI: 1.02-1.26). Future studies are needed to further explore the association between religion, spirituality, and obesity-related behaviors.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112760/Spirituality_Religiosity_and_Weight_Management_Among_African_American_Adolescent_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:27.796-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Spirituality_Religiosity_and_Weight_Management_Among_African_American_Adolescent_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":221,"name":"Psychology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Psychology"},{"id":19674,"name":"Behavioral Medicine","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Behavioral_Medicine"},{"id":244814,"name":"Clinical Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Clinical_Sciences"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="30112759"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112759/An_International_Psychology_of_Men_Theoretical_Advances_Case_Studies_and_Clinical_Innovations"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of An International Psychology of Men: Theoretical Advances, Case Studies, and Clinical Innovations" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112759/An_International_Psychology_of_Men_Theoretical_Advances_Case_Studies_and_Clinical_Innovations">An International Psychology of Men: Theoretical Advances, Case Studies, and Clinical Innovations</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>International Journal of Men S Health</span><span>, Oct 1, 2011</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">...

Assessing the health outcomes of racial minority groups by comparing them to a racial majority standard is valuable for identifying and monitoring health inequities, but may not be the most effective approach to identifying strategies that can be used to improve minority health outcomes. Health promotion planning models and public health history both suggest that minority health promotion is more likely to be derived from interventions rooted in culturally and historically grounded contextual factors. In this essay, we highlight limitations of comparative approaches to minority health research and argue that integrating emic (or within-group) approaches may facilitate research and interventions more consonant with national goals to promote health and reduce disparities than comparative approaches.","publication_date":{"day":1,"month":9,"year":2007,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50575573},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112758/Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Disparities_Reconsidering_Comparative_Approaches","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:27.397-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50575573,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575573/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575573/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575573/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271339=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=KtzgvhlmMpJ2ybJYybUyQjODM0BLp1bB2DTnfQoZkq9WHw7GJG9HwMHk9NE4~pILsgrP5PuTMIL-CCf8VM~nFligecE6pEecu2pYm0F5Q2caumuiluCnDcPaetTPdENJHecan6~R-6P2-S-yfrqMMPq4J7PUVvZeN~OnKlEWZ1HDMKmPqOsuATSRi6CztADwlvB5iRXziUVGAaoHyLMWgqymMijP0UH2DJV1dhNhu-Qg-u4H-gf6d60nmiXp2ghuMqOJqrkM8rPscfhh76Y6sUYKd9jNzaJ0lL~McwBqWzgHjsynt41QUJAf10Bzqz4xpqD4GH90nOyO5TfNEiSdaA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Disparities_Reconsidering_Comparative_Approaches","translated_slug":"","page_count":14,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":50575573,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575573/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575573/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575573/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271339=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_Racial_Ethnic_Health_Dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=KtzgvhlmMpJ2ybJYybUyQjODM0BLp1bB2DTnfQoZkq9WHw7GJG9HwMHk9NE4~pILsgrP5PuTMIL-CCf8VM~nFligecE6pEecu2pYm0F5Q2caumuiluCnDcPaetTPdENJHecan6~R-6P2-S-yfrqMMPq4J7PUVvZeN~OnKlEWZ1HDMKmPqOsuATSRi6CztADwlvB5iRXziUVGAaoHyLMWgqymMijP0UH2DJV1dhNhu-Qg-u4H-gf6d60nmiXp2ghuMqOJqrkM8rPscfhh76Y6sUYKd9jNzaJ0lL~McwBqWzgHjsynt41QUJAf10Bzqz4xpqD4GH90nOyO5TfNEiSdaA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":981,"name":"Health Promotion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Promotion"},{"id":7428,"name":"Health Education","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Education"},{"id":7437,"name":"Health Disparities","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Disparities"}],"urls":[{"id":7772741,"url":"http://health-equity.pitt.edu/889/"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Bivariate and multiple variable analyses suggest that obesity may be correlated with elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels among African American boys. Results from ordinary least squared regression analysis indicate that the DBP for boys carrying excess weight was 4.2 mm Hg (P\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;.01) higher than the corresponding DBP for their normal weight counterparts, after controlling for age, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, and sleep. Additional studies are needed to specify the manner through which excess weight and weight gain can accelerate the development and progression of CVD-related diseases among African American males over the life course, thereby providing evidenced-based information for tailored interventions that can reduce risks for premature morbidity, disability, and mortality among this group.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112757/Weight_Status_and_Blood_Pressure_among_Adolescent_African_American_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:27.262-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Weight_Status_and_Blood_Pressure_among_Adolescent_African_American_Males_The_Jackson_Heart_KIDS_Pilot_Study","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":3851,"name":"Obesity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Obesity"},{"id":22506,"name":"Adolescent","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Adolescent"},{"id":71399,"name":"Hypertension","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hypertension"},{"id":88321,"name":"Blood Pressure","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Blood_Pressure"},{"id":98134,"name":"United States","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/United_States"},{"id":174502,"name":"Incidence","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Incidence"},{"id":192721,"name":"Risk factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Risk_factors"},{"id":233800,"name":"African Americans","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/African_Americans"},{"id":410370,"name":"Public health systems and services research","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Public_health_systems_and_services_research-1"},{"id":564878,"name":"Body Weight","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Body_Weight"},{"id":620049,"name":"Risk Factors","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Risk_Factors-1"},{"id":945595,"name":"Pilot Projects","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Pilot_Projects"},{"id":1034181,"name":"Cross Sectional Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cross_Sectional_Studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="30112756"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112756/Visible_and_Invisible_Trends_in_African_American_Men_s_Health_Pitfalls_and_Promises_for_Addressing_Inequalities"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Visible and Invisible Trends in African American Men’s Health: Pitfalls and Promises for Addressing Inequalities" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/30112756/Visible_and_Invisible_Trends_in_African_American_Men_s_Health_Pitfalls_and_Promises_for_Addressing_Inequalities">Visible and Invisible Trends in African American Men’s Health: Pitfalls and Promises for Addressing Inequalities</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Annual Review of Public Health</span><span>, 2016</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Over the past two decades, there has been growing interest in improving black men&amp;amp;amp;amp...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Over the past two decades, there has been growing interest in improving black men&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s health and the health disparities affecting them.

Assessing the health outcomes of racial minority groups by comparing them to a racial majority standard is valuable for identifying and monitoring health inequities, but may not be the most effective approach to identifying strategies that can be used to improve minority health outcomes. Health promotion planning models and public health history both suggest that minority health promotion is more likely to be derived from interventions rooted in culturally and historically grounded contextual factors. In this essay, we highlight limitations of comparative approaches to minority health research and argue that integrating emic (or within-group) approaches may facilitate research and interventions more consonant with national goals to promote health and reduce disparities than comparative approaches.","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50575570},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112753/Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_disparities_reconsidering_comparative_approaches","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:26.645-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50575570,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575570/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575570/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575570/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271341=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=BWsV6siRSmCtCSrg4mFzpyKV2qZsUZZ7LTtnTxcmI-lZPcutNhsJQOKfb5aQTgxl8mv7jR65Pzj10-FhpKQPijRcMEONQ0KdLxrxDzJQfQweWbKv0ylaVZrM1Giv8M8wVUbQlsdw9jKodrultq7z1RZ410MnxwU2rMt1Xg5xBHfbr~IFG8n7y5kmEWt6iyTFalLZYZJoqjW99Yp15DiJV-LmGZ264Xs8lfR8o1cgM3Xa0LRbqYql3JxiT1j~lcK58UAUyvxG41FkIBqvNpnFAnXNgvPP8aUInDjIDSa3hu4KBdBmLGBngQKpt1IJmCVGYA5K2YZ-zrBtcLhmjo0f~A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_disparities_reconsidering_comparative_approaches","translated_slug":"","page_count":14,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":50575570,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575570/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"viewcontent.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575570/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk4MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Eliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575570/viewcontent-libre.pdf?1480271341=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEliminating_racial_ethnic_health_dispari.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=BWsV6siRSmCtCSrg4mFzpyKV2qZsUZZ7LTtnTxcmI-lZPcutNhsJQOKfb5aQTgxl8mv7jR65Pzj10-FhpKQPijRcMEONQ0KdLxrxDzJQfQweWbKv0ylaVZrM1Giv8M8wVUbQlsdw9jKodrultq7z1RZ410MnxwU2rMt1Xg5xBHfbr~IFG8n7y5kmEWt6iyTFalLZYZJoqjW99Yp15DiJV-LmGZ264Xs8lfR8o1cgM3Xa0LRbqYql3JxiT1j~lcK58UAUyvxG41FkIBqvNpnFAnXNgvPP8aUInDjIDSa3hu4KBdBmLGBngQKpt1IJmCVGYA5K2YZ-zrBtcLhmjo0f~A__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":981,"name":"Health Promotion","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Promotion"},{"id":7428,"name":"Health Education","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Education"},{"id":7437,"name":"Health Disparities","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Health_Disparities"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

We identified 22 population-based studies that included a measure of masculinity and a measure of health behavior, mental health, or physical health. The associations between masculinity and health were complex and varied by construct and health outcome, though they generally were significant in the hypothesized directions. Future research should explore the centrality of masculinity versus other identities and characteristics, how the relationship between masculinity and health varies by health outcome, and the identification of the conceptions and aspects of masculinity that are most relevant to and associated with specific health behaviors and health outcomes.

healthy eating of any race by gender group in the United States. Traditionally, interventions to promote healthy eating have focused on the health benefits of behavior change and teaching practical skills and knowledge around healthier eating. Self-Determination Theory, however, suggests that it is also important to identify and promote intrinsic motivation, or how the behavior change is consistent with an individual’s interests, preferences and goals. In this presentation we will describe our preliminary findings from a study designed to individually-tailor healthy eating messages to African American men as part of a health communications intervention. Using data from our phenomenological analysis of 64 individual interviews with 35-74 year old African American men, we highlight the importance of identifying key sources of intrinsic motivation to create and maintain healthier eating patterns. The men who tended to have healthier daily eating practices also tended to find creative ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into each meal.

Methods: Nine immigrant Latino men from 3 urban housing communities in the Southeastern US used photovoice, an innovative qualitative research methodology, to identify, explore, share their lived experiences. Results: Mean age of participants was 22.8; all self-identified as Latino; reported completing equivalent to eighth grade or below; and reported having had sexual intercourse with women as opposed to men in the past 2 years. From the participants&amp;#39; photographs and words, 13 themes emerged from the analysis of photo-discussions. These themes were organized into 4 domains: (1) the immigration experience and (2) sociocultural norms and expectations of masculinity as factors that the participants identified as decreasing Latino men&amp;#39;s sense of power and increasing their stress, which in turn lead to sexual risk; and (3) Latino community strengths and (4) general community strengths as factors that the participants identified as promoting sexual health and preventing risk. These themes were compiled into a theoretic model developed by the participants to explain sexual risk of immigrant Latino men. Conclusions: This study obtained rich qualitative insight into the lived experiences of immigrant Latino men in a region of the US that is experiencing both the fastest growing immigrant Latino population in the country and disproportionate HIV and STD infection rates.

Thematic content analysis was used to analyze data from nine exploratory focus groups conducted with 83 urban, middle-aged and older African American men from southeast Michigan. The men distinguished between healthy and unhealthy foods and \"meals\" versus other instances of eating. Eating patterns and content differed depending on the meal, work and family schedules, food availability, and whether it was a weekday or weekend. When eating alone or outside the home, men prioritized convenience and preferences for tasty, unhealthy foods. Men often reported skipping breakfast or lunch and grabbing snacks or fast food during the day. They emphasized sharing dinner with their spouses and families-usually a home-cooked, \"healthy\" meal. On weekends, spouses often cooked less and men snacked and dined out more frequently. Sunday dinners involving favorite, unhealthy comfort foods were the highlight of men's eating practices. African American men tended not to follow healthy eating recommendations because of their busy lives, reliance on spouses to prepare food, and preferences for unhealthy foods. These findings suggest that healthy eating interventions must consider how the contexts of African American men's lives shape their eating practices.","publication_date":{"day":31,"month":10,"year":2011,"errors":{}},"grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50575578},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30112744/I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cultural_factors_that_influence_African_American_mens_eating_patterns","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-11-27T10:14:13.726-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":32617402,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":50575578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575578/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575578/I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u-libre.pdf?1480271335=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DI_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=F6fBA6~PlSXNYOJSzIyGA7EtQVDTEaRvlW~qkfmSsh04-16Hfv0PAuE5X8Fbsp7lv7P89d2-lXtSlkj5jVRuPV--lgfs2OAOEhXbHL~8Ccer1g-G~Ik92HIrtXDsw4fKTGAetCZYUxCX6Cpovk4LbRYJawrrZIdAQp8BAGNWpTrZ4o-7Dk-NiQtb4YGnkrmEN~BmfctHt~yAcumZFXuoABVfZSsIm0kiIwyHrVZhzOAPmpRvfoHWyrWnZCDUD3VDTjUedDpgBUO3SXMo0OdjGrgA8Zhl8akaWQTSwM9rbf8KjSeL2~1aRwJZGEPridkDSeyHlQpkYd7jDeapPJbLmA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cultural_factors_that_influence_African_American_mens_eating_patterns","translated_slug":"","page_count":9,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":32617402,"first_name":"Derek","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Griffith","page_name":"GriffithDerek","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-28T15:09:23.045-07:00","display_name":"Derek Griffith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek"},"attachments":[{"id":50575578,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/50575578/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50575578/download_file?st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjgxMTk4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"I_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50575578/I_just_grab_what_I_can_get..._Social_and20161127-6595-7d5l6u-libre.pdf?1480271335=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DI_just_grab_what_I_can_get_Social_and_cu.pdf\u0026Expires=1732815580\u0026Signature=F6fBA6~PlSXNYOJSzIyGA7EtQVDTEaRvlW~qkfmSsh04-16Hfv0PAuE5X8Fbsp7lv7P89d2-lXtSlkj5jVRuPV--lgfs2OAOEhXbHL~8Ccer1g-G~Ik92HIrtXDsw4fKTGAetCZYUxCX6Cpovk4LbRYJawrrZIdAQp8BAGNWpTrZ4o-7Dk-NiQtb4YGnkrmEN~BmfctHt~yAcumZFXuoABVfZSsIm0kiIwyHrVZhzOAPmpRvfoHWyrWnZCDUD3VDTjUedDpgBUO3SXMo0OdjGrgA8Zhl8akaWQTSwM9rbf8KjSeL2~1aRwJZGEPridkDSeyHlQpkYd7jDeapPJbLmA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

While we often try to explain these disparities by focusing on individual risk factors and behaviors, this presentation illustrates how political, historical and social factors affect American Indian infant mortality and racial disparities in infant mortality. We created a conceptual framework and a Google Earth map to illustrate how historical and cultural factors influence the health of American Indians in the state.

Yet, there is a paucity of interventions and research indicating how to improve physical activity levels among this group. Men on the Move was a pilot study to increase men&#39;s physical activity levels by: 1) improving access to age-appropriate, male-focused physical activity opportunities, and 2) facilitating social support from male peers.

In addition to considering behavior-specific motivation and other psychological factors, Men 4 Health was designe...","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/35612584/Engendering_Men_4_Health_How_do_we_consider_ethnicity_and_gender_in_African_American_mens_health_interventions","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2018-01-08T12:15:07.801-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":33411993,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"conference_presentation","co_author_tags":[{"id":30893081,"work_id":35612584,"tagging_user_id":33411993,"tagged_user_id":null,"co_author_invite_id":6608222,"email":"j***n@umich.edu","display_order":0,"name":"Juandalyn Coffen","title":"Engendering Men 4 Health: How do we consider ethnicity and gender in African American men's health interventions?"},{"id":30893111,"work_id":35612584,"tagging_user_id":33411993,"tagged_user_id":13421860,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"k***r@gmail.com","affiliation":"Michigan State University","display_order":4194304,"name":"Katie Manthey","title":"Engendering Men 4 Health: How do we consider ethnicity and gender in African American men's health interventions?"},{"id":30893121,"work_id":35612584,"tagging_user_id":33411993,"tagged_user_id":32617402,"co_author_invite_id":null,"email":"d***h@vanderbilt.edu","display_order":6291456,"name":"Derek Griffith","title":"Engendering Men 4 Health: How do we consider ethnicity and gender in African American men's health interventions?"}],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Engendering_Men_4_Health_How_do_we_consider_ethnicity_and_gender_in_African_American_mens_health_interventions","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":33411993,"first_name":"Julie Ober","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Allen, PhD, MPH","page_name":"JulieOberAllenPhDMPH","domain_name":"ou","created_at":"2015-07-28T13:23:49.706-07:00","display_name":"Julie Ober Allen, PhD, MPH","url":"https://ou.academia.edu/JulieOberAllenPhDMPH"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> </div><div class="profile--tab_content_container js-tab-pane tab-pane" data-section-id="7872774" id="peerreviewedjournalarticles"><div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="40383852"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/40383852/How_does_health_information_influence_African_American_mens_health_behavior"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of How does health information influence African American men's health behavior?" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/40383852/How_does_health_information_influence_African_American_mens_health_behavior">How does health information influence African American men's health behavior?</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--coauthors"><span>by </span><span><a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://ou.academia.edu/JulieOberAllenPhDMPH">Julie Ober Allen, PhD, MPH</a> and <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://independent.academia.edu/GriffithDerek">Derek Griffith</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>American Journal of Men's Health</span><span>, 2012</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Few researchers have examined where African American men obtain, process, and use health informat...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Few researchers have examined where African American men obtain, process, and use health information.

Shabsigh). Background: In the United States, National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest non-commercial funder of biomedical research. Funding of specific disease categories is partly dependent on burden of disease. We examined current gender-specific research funding by the NIH with common measures of burdens of disease. Methods: In a cross sectional study, we compared estimates of diseasespecific and gender-specific research funding by the NIH in 2006 with data on 4 measures of the burden of disease. The measures were incidence rate, prevalence, mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALY). Using mortality rate and DALY as explanatory variables in a regression analysis, predicted funding was calculated and compared with actual funding. In addition, funding to mortality ratios for gender-specific diseases were compared. Results: Mortality was weakly associated (r = 0.47, p = 0.001), whereas disability-adjusted life-years was strongly associated (r = 0.77, p \u003c 0.001) with NIH research funding. For gender-specific funding, NIH breast cancer research funding continues to rise and it is twice as much as prostate cancer research funding. Mean funding to mortality ratio for breast cancer research (30.6:1) is significantly higher than prostate cancer research (14.1:1) (p \u003c 0.001). Funding to mortality ratio is the highest for cervical cancer research (40.1:1) and the lowest for uterine cancer research (6.8:1). When disability-adjusted life-years and mortality were used to predict expected funding, both prostate cancer and breast cancer are over funded as compared to the respective measures of burden of disease. However, over funding for breast cancer is 3.6 times greater than that for prostate cancer. Conclusions: Gender-specific research funding shows a pattern of underfunding for men's health research relative to women's health research. Addressing this gender disparity objectively may provide equal dispersal of funding. Considering the cross-gender effects of burden of disease, correcting the gender disparity and providing a more equitable distribution of research funding will benefit everyone. (D.M. Griffith). Background: Despite the potential health consequences, African American men tend to treat their roles as providers, fathers, spouses, and community members as more important than engaging in health behaviors such as physical activity. Methods: We conducted thematic content analysis of data derived from 14 focus groups with 110 urban, middle aged African American men from the Midwest, U.S.A. Results: The findings revealed three interrelated barriers to physical activity: (a) work, family, and community commitments and priorities limited time and motivation for engaging in physical activity; (b) physical activity was not a normative individual or social activity and contributed to men prioritizing work and family responsibilities over physical activity; and (c) the effort men exerted in seeking to fulfill the provider role limited their motivation and energy to engage in physical activity. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for physical activity interventions that consider how health fits in the context of men's overall lives. (H.V. Jensen).","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2011,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Health Education \u0026

Thematic content analysis was used to analyze data from nine exploratory focus groups conducted with 83 urban, middle-aged and older African American men from southeast Michigan. The men distinguished between healthy and unhealthy foods and \"meals\" versus other instances of eating. Eating patterns and content differed depending on the meal, work and family schedules, food availability, and whether it was a weekday or weekend. When eating alone or outside the home, men prioritized convenience and preferences for tasty, unhealthy foods. Men often reported skipping breakfast or lunch and grabbing snacks or fast food during the day. They emphasized sharing dinner with their spouses and families-usually a home-cooked, \"healthy\" meal. On weekends, spouses often cooked less and men snacked and dined out more frequently. Sunday dinners involving favorite, unhealthy comfort foods were the highlight of men's eating practices. African American men tended not to follow healthy eating recommendations because of their busy lives, reliance on spouses to prepare food, and preferences for unhealthy foods. These findings suggest that healthy eating interventions must consider how the contexts of African American men's lives shape their eating practices.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2013,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Health Promotion
