Young African American Men's Conception Of Fatherhood Among Survivors Of Childhood Abuse, Ohan Patricia Carter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Male survivors of abuse who become fathers themselves face challenges different from female survivors, such as conceptualizing their roles as providers and heads of households after the traumatic and often belittling experiences of abuse.

Medical Community Distrust And The Influenza Vaccination Rates Of Black Americans, Kenyatte Irby Winston
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Black Americans experience influenza vaccination rates that are lower than the rates of other ethnic groups.

There is a belief within the Black American community that the medical establishment does not have the Black American patient in its best interest, leading to feelings of distrust. The purpose of this study was to determine if the distrust of the medical community is a relevant factor in the low influenza vaccination rates of Black Americans aged 18 and older in …
