Objective: Minority groups constitute one of the nation’s highest cancer risk groups. Historically, these groups have not been adequately informed about cancer, its prevention and/or treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine participants’ receipt of cancer screening and to explore perceptions of barriers to and facilitators of cancer screening. Methods: A two-part study design consisting of a survey and focus group was conducted among african americans residents of neighborhoods geographically defined as low-income areas of Chattanooga, Memphis, and Nashville in the state of Tennessee. The survey was administered to 1071 participants, and 12 focus groups were conducted with a total of 112 participants, with both sets of participants being residents of similarly defined underserved communities served by the community health centers. Results: Overall, 51% of surveyed respondents were females;the majority (75%) had a yearly income of less than $25,000;and 67% reported 12 years of education or less. Most surveyed respondents had a family history of cancer. More than 30% and 64% of male respondents over 50 years old did not receive prostate cancer and colorectal cancer screening, respectively;58% of women 50 years and older were not screened for colorectal cancer;28% of women over 40 years old did not receive breast cancer screening. Barriers to cancer screening included: lack of information about cancer screening and treatments, cost of cancer treatment and fear. The need for more information about cancer and cancer treatment, as well as the involvement of churches to increase cancer screening awareness was identified as facilitators. Conclusion: This study provides information into the structural and psychological barriers in cancer screening. It describes the self-reported prevalence/frequency of screening among men and women in our target population, and the associated facilitators to screening.

Background: african americans (AA) are disproportionally affected by cardiovascular disease as compared to other racial-ethnic groups. Exposure to adverse socioeconomic conditions may partially explain disparities in risk factors and prevalence and cardiovascular diseases for AA. We aim to study the impact of poverty status on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components among african americans. Methods: We used data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles 2001-2006. We defined MetS using the Joint Scientific Definition as the presence of any 3/5 components: elevated blood pressure (BP), elevated triglycerides (TGL), lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and elevated waist circumference (WC). Poverty to income ratio (PIR) was categorized as below poverty (3) groups. We used multivariable survey-weighted logistic regression models to study the impact of poverty status of prevalence of MetS and its components among AA men and women. Results: Overall, the average aggregate prevalence of MetS among AA sample was 22% in our study with prevalence being 25% for women and 18% among men (p 3) (OR = 1.57, 95%CI = 1.00 - 2.46, p = 0.05) with no association observed among men (OR (PIR = 1) = 0.70, 95%CI = 0.43 - 1.19, p = 0.13). Further, similar associations were observed for individual components among women including: elevated waist circumference (OR = 2.04, 95%CI = 1.37, 3.01, p < 0.001), elevated triglycerides (OR = 1.85, 95%CI = 1.02 - 3.36, p = 0.04), reduced HDL (OR = 2.04, 95%CI = 1.15, 3.60, p = 0.02) and elevated blood pressure (OR = 2.16, 95%CI = 1.34 - 3.49, p = 0.002) as

Race, family history and age are the unequivocally accepted risk factors for prostate cancer （PCa）. Androgen receptor （AR）-dependent signaling is an important element in prostate carcinogenesis and its progression to metastatic disease. We examined the possibility of genomic changes in the AR in association with familial PCa in african americans who have a higher incidence and mortality rate and a clinically more aggressive disease presentation than Caucasians. Genomic DNAs of 60 patients from 30 high-risk african American and Caucasian families participating in the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center genetic linkage study of PCa were studied. Exon-specific polymerase-chain reaction, bi-directional automated sequencing and restriction enzyme genotyping were used to analyze for mutations in the coding region of the AR gene. We identified a germline AR （A1675T）（T559S） substitution mutation in the DNA-binding domain in three PCa-affected members of an african- American family with a history of early-onset disease. The present study describes the first AR germline mutation in an african-American family with a history of familial PCa. The AR （T559S） mutation may contribute to the disease by altering AR DNA-binding affinity and/or its response to androgens, non-androgenic steroids or anti-androgens. Additional studies will be required to define the frequency and contribution of the AR （A 1675T） allele to early-onset and/or familial PCa in african americans.

Journal of Foreign Languages and Cultures 2020年第1期4卷 99-113页

作者： Lauri Scheyer Hunan Normal University

What is the meaning of Zero Hour for african americans?The Zero Hour of May 8,1945 was a celebratory moment to mark“the victory of the cause of freedom,”in the immortal words of Winston *** what could Zero Hour signify for african americans who continued to encounter racist and discriminatory practices at the end of the war and into the present?The history of african americans has been characterized by series of“victories for freedom,”“new beginnings,”“forward progress,”and“breaks with the past.”How many other Zero Hours can we identify in the history of Black people in the U.S.?Examining 20205s moment of pandemic and protests in relation to race and class,I ask what any Zero Hour means for african americans who have encountered many promising milestones of liberation that fell short of the expected rights and *** literary examples including Gwendolyn Brooks,Amiri Baraka,Ray Durem,Langston Hughes,Frederick Douglass,and Anne Spencer,I propose that african American history has been marked by a long line of Zero Hours that have indeed achieved progress yet never fully realized the goal of just and fair equality of treatment and opportunity.

Trust in the State Courts： Hispanic and african American Communities

引用

International Relations and Diplomacy 2016年第12期4卷 746-759页

作者： Ivanka Bergova Georgia State University Atlanta Georgia USA

The paper aims to compare the levels ofa＇ust Caucasians, african americans, Hispanics, and other minority groups have in state courts. The paper presents four hypothesize which contend that african americans, Hispanics, and other minority groups have lower levels of trust in state courts in comparison to Caucasians. Using data from a 2001 Justice at Stake Public Survey, a multivariate regression analysis was performed to assess the validity of each hypothesis. The variable for Race/Ethnicity was used as a baseline allowing for the comparison of levels of trust among each racial/ethnic group. The findings indicate that african americans have a lower level of trust in state courts in comparison to their Caucasian and other minority counterparts and vice versa. Surprisingly, Hispanics were found to have no more or less trust in state courts when compared to Caucasians, african americans, and other minority groups. Further research regarding trust in state courts should be carried out in both african American and Hispanic communities. Lastly, it is noteworthy to mention that the data set contained some limitations, such as its age and the exclusion of＂Asian＂ in the racial/ethnic categories.

Graduation is the Hallmark of Excellence How Colleges Can Achieve High Rates

引用

Journal of Literature and Art Studies 2014年第12期4卷 1113-1121页

作者： Ruben Gentry Jackson State University Jackson Mississippi USA

Fine facilities, adequate financial aid, and sufficient resources are crucial elements for a university to be successful. But unless students graduate at an appropriate rate, the university will ultimately be considered ineffective. Students who exit the university without a degree will have their dreams deferred and often struggle to lead a life of any quality. Among those who fail to graduate are a disproportionate number of african americans and other minorities; this of which must change for a country to thrive and be respected as an exemplary democracy. However, those who do graduate are prepared and financially compensated to lead and make a positive impact in education, politics, science and technology, and human-service areas. This manuscript provides findings from a thorough review of literature on graduation issues and concerns to support development of a framework of tenets to increase graduation rates, especially for african americans. Further, it highlights specific efforts of a particular college to enhance its graduation rates and provides implications for future directions.
