12	Social Determinants of Chronic Kidney Disease in the Black American Community: A Systematic Review Coleman, Addea 01 January 2023 (has links) (PDF) This systematic review aims to examine the relationship between the social determinants of health that significantly impact the prevalence and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) amongst Black Americans. The Black American population has the highest prevalence of CKD in the United States, while concurrently possessing prominent genetic risk factors for this chronic disease. The social determinants: healthcare quality and access (extended to account for health behaviors), social and community context, and economic stability were specifically assessed in this review. Key terms were utilized to search electronic databases PubMed and Web of Science, which yielded 470 unduplicated articles. Twenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review, with three articles being applicable to the three selected social determinants, six being applicable to social and community context, six being applicable to economic stability, and fourteen being applicable to healthcare quality and access. Major contributors towards CKD incidence and progression amongst Black Americans were identified to be: exposure to discrimination, expectations of discrimination and prejudice, low routine medical care, limited health literacy, distrust of health providers, being of low socioeconomic status, and a lack of engagement in functional health behaviors (fruit/vegetable consumption and CKD screening). Each social determinant was seldom observed to be operating exclusively as a contributing factor towards CKD, exemplifying how the intersectionality of these factors contributes to increased CKD risk and progression. Findings from this systematic review highlight the need for targeted healthcare initiatives for Black Americans to remedy the CKD endemic.

13	Whose War Is It Anyway? : Reflections on identity formation of ethnic minorities in nationalintegration of U.S. and British militaries during World War One Christy, Zachary January 2022 (has links) This thesis concerns the study of ethnic minority groups and their national identity formation process as a result of their collective experience during, and understanding of, World War One. The groups observed are Black Americans and German Americans from the United States, as well as the Irish from Great Britain. Each groups’ identity progression and understanding of the war differed from their counterparts, while having still exhibited similarities of which highlight how different forms of nationalism played a role in the lives of ethnic minorities. A Marxist theoretical framework of nationalism and tradition is applied through the works of Benedict Anderson, Eric Hobsbawm and Terrance Ranger. The results convey how American nationalism served to further solidify a greater sense of American national identity for the respective ethnic groups, though through a process of apathy and coercion. British nationalism revealed how its version of the phenomena lacked sufficient proximity to the respective group, thus resulting in the Irish rejection of the British nation and its form of identity. These results further illustrate how both nations were in many ways sovereign and limited in their ability to form a political and social community with these groups. Lastly, it is revealed that the internal differences in each group followed a universal trend wherein those group members who served in combat roles during the war, inhibited a greater sense of national identity than those who did not see combat. This result serves as the foundation for my new theory, known as the Fog of War Complex. nation nationalism imagined community invented traditions Black Americans German Americans Irish World War One identity Fog of War Complex History Historia

15	Black Americans, Hospitalization, and Advance Care Planning Bigger, Sharon E., Hemphill, Jean C., Njoroge, Trizah, Doyon, Katherine, Glenn, Lee 16 May 2023 (has links) Skilled home health (HH) is the largest long-term care setting and the fastest-growing site of healthcare in the United States (U.S.). Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) is a structure of Medicare that penalizes U.S. HH agencies for high hospitalization rates. Prior studies have shown inconsistent evidence about associations of race with hospitalization rates in HH. Evidence supports that Black or African Americans are less likely to participate in advance care planning (ACP), or to complete written advance directives, which could affect their potential for hospitalization when nearing end of life. In this quasi-experimental study, we used Medicare administrative datasets, the Weighted Acute Care Services Use Rates (WACSUR) score, and the Advance Care Planning Protocol (ACPP) score to determine whether the proportion of Black HH patients in the U.S. was correlated with acute care use rates and the robustness of agency protocols on ACP. We used primary and secondary data from the U.S. from 2016-2020. We included Medicare-certified HH agencies. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used. We found a statistical trend showing that the greater proportion of Black patients enrolled in a HH agency, the greater tendency to have a high hospitalization rate. Our findings suggest that HHVBP may encourage patient selection and exacerbate health disparities. Our findings support recommendations for alternative measures of quality in HH to include measures of goal-concordant care coordination when patients are denied admission to HH. structural vulnerability value-based purchasing Black Americans end of life goal-concordant care home health quality College of Nursing Medical Sciences Nursing Palliative Nursing
16	The Role of Afrocentric Features in Mental Healthcare Utilization and Counselor Preferences in Black College Students Dent, Randl B 01 January 2017 (has links) Though mental health issues are prevalent in Black young adults, they underutilize mental healthcare services. This research examined the role of feature-based discrimination in mental healthcare (under)utilization. Study 1, a secondary analysis of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, provided no evidence supporting a link between skin tone and mental healthcare utilization, when controlling for depression diagnosis. However, when controlling for depression symptoms, there was a trend such that Black young adults with darker, as opposed to lighter, skin tone utilized healthcare less. Study 2, an experimental study with 33 Black college students, showed 73% of the sample preferred a Black counselor. Additionally, they preferred counselors with darker skin, wider nose, and thicker lips, compared to counselors with lighter skin, narrower nose, and thinner lips. These findings suggest the importance of taking into account Afrocentric features and its social consequences when assessing health-related behaviors in Black Americans. skin tone mental health Afrocentric Features mental healthcare utilization Black Americans College Students Community Psychology Health Psychology Health Services Research Medicine and Health Mental and Social Health Multicultural Psychology Social Psychology
17	ARE BLACK, MALE LEADERS EXPECTED TO HELP OTHER BLACK AMERICANS IN THE WORKPLACE? Sisley Yan (19200781) 03 September 2024 (has links) <p dir="ltr">Experimental vignette methodology was utilized to investigate the relationships between leader group prototypicality, identity denial, and three leader outcomes (i.e., charisma, trust, and endorsement). Participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: general advocacy (control), ingroup advocacy, and ingroup anti-advocacy. We hypothesized that a Black, male target displaying ingroup advocacy behaviors would be perceived most favorably while a Black, male target displaying ingroup anti-advocacy behaviors would be perceived most poorly. Furthermore, we predicted that identity denial, measured via perceived racial identification, would serve as a mediator. Overall, we found support for our hypotheses, with the exception being that there were no significant differences in leader outcome ratings when comparing the general advocacy condition to the ingroup advocacy condition, even despite the significant mediation throughout all conditions. In summary, Black Americans on average do not expect a Black, male leader to help other Black employees, but he is expected to not devalue or trivialize his Black identity. Doing so would lead to identity denial and less positive evaluations. In contrast, standing in solidarity with the ingroup increases the leader’s perceived racial identification the most and this in turn helps to bolster leader outcomes. Although future research should test climate change as a valid control condition, our pattern of findings suggests that environmental sustainability should be a safe topic for a Black, male leader to advocate for if he wishes to remain more neutral on matters pertaining to race.</p> Leadership Social psychology leader group prototypicality identity denial advocacy behaviors prototypes stereotypes leadership Black Americans leader outcomes trust endorsement charisma experimental vignette design perceived racial identification intragroup bias
