Multilevel Analysis Of Physical Activity Among Us Adults Across Us Census Regions: The Role Of Environmental Contexts, Sariyamon Tiraphat
Health Services Research Dissertations
This study uses nationally representative data to explain the variation in physical activity among U.S. adults across four geographic regions of Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether environmental conditions inclusive of natural amenity, built environment, urbanization, crime, and social economic neighborhood are associated with physical activity and whether these associations are modified by geographic region. The study also investigates whether the influences of environmental contexts vary by subgroup and whether they are modified by geographic region. Determining regional factors that influence physical activity is essential to planning appropriate physical activity interventions.

Factors That Influence Nonadherence Outpatient Medical Follow-Up By African Americans With Hiv/Aids At An Outpatient Infectious Disease Clinic, Cynthia Burrell Banks
Health Services Research Dissertations
Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) does not discriminate among different races, ethnicities or genders; however, African Americans carry a larger burden related to the HIV epidemic than others (CDC, 2010c; Cunningham, Sanchez, Heller & Sohler, 2007; Mugavero, et al., 2009). Persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) who do not adhere to their medical regimen, including failure to maintain contact with their health care provider for health care monitoring, tend to have poorer health outcomes from the disease as compared to HIV/AIDS patients who adhere to their medical regimen (Cunningham et al., 2006; Lima et al., 2009). African Americans represent …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the various factors associated with IPPVAW at the personal, interpersonal, community and societal levels. Methods: 200 ever-married women attending six PHC in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were recruited via convenient sampling method. Women were interviewed on factors related to IPPVAW using an adapted version of WHO survey for violence against …

Since Air Force Medical Service beneficiaries have free and unlimited use of the full-range of healthcare services, they are ideally suited for this study. The findings of this research may also apply to other populations with free or low-cost access to healthcare (i.e., universal or single-payer healthcare). Using secondary data extracted from the Air Force Medical Service's electronic health record system at several military hospitals, this study will present …
