Unmet Needs of Asian & Pacific Islander Cancer Survivors
Aims
• Describe the unmet psychosocial needs of a national sample of Asian
American and Pacific Islander cancer survivors, using a CBPR approach.
• Identify demographic characteristics that can predict higher or lower
likelihood of having unmet psychosocial needs among Asian American and Pacific Islander cancer
survivors.
Completed
• Determined priority areas w/input from the National Advisory Council of the APINCSN
• Survey development based on priority areas; paper survey and a secure online interface

• All major decisions are done collaboratively  marketing/recruitment/data collection in progress
• IRB approval at Penn & SFSU

Public Opinion About Paying People to Quit Smoking
Financial incentives (FI) are effective in achieving tobacco cessation
but remain controversial in their use
• RCT using experimental survey design, comparing support for a
“treatment,” medication, or financial incentive for tobacco cessation
• 1,092 surveys collected at transportation depots in Philadelphia
• No statistical difference in rate of support among 3 treatment types
• Predictors of FI support: Current smoker, age, (internal LOC)
• Significance: No disfavor towards the use of financial incentives,
versus medications or generic treatment for tobacco cessation.
Certain subgroups favor support of financial incentives.

Study of Time Savings Realized Through Task Shifting to
Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Kenyan Health Facilities
•Kenya faces a severe health worker shortage
•We aim to determine the time value of CHWs to health facilities and to
determine the components of essential CHW service and its associated
cost
•Data collection: 7 sites, 1-2 facilities per site
• 1) Interview 2-3 CHWs and 1-2 health care providers per site
• 2) CHW to fill out task and supply diaries for 14 consecutive days
•Preliminary data
What are the benefits and challenges of using a universityschool partnership to implement a socialized recess that is
mutually beneficial to both partners?

Measuring & Enhancing Stress Resilience in Youth in Dental Clinic Settings
Heart rate
• Promoting oral health is an important, yet often neglected area of public health practice.
• Stress may negatively impact children’s oral health and contribute to health disparities.
- stress during dentist visit can increase blood pressure; have long term consequences.
- stress experienced chronically from neighborhood violence may reduce coping ability.
• Pilot study - identify stressors experienced during routine dentist visit.
- piloting measure of stress responses during routine dentist visit.
- gain insight into history of stress exposure and vulnerability.
- pilot deep breathing brief intervention.

Pregnancy Weight Management Study
• Maternal obesitypoor maternal-child health outcomes
• Few interventions decrease rates of excessive pregnancy weight
gain or postpartum weight retention.
• Psychosocial predictors of maternal obesity: self-efficacy, weight
locus of control, & perinatal depression
• We now propose a 4-component intervention: motivational
appeals, environmental aids, peer & task-oriented support.
• We completed 3 focus groups to write the text messages we will
use during the intervention.
• We start pilot enrollment January 1, 2011.
