“…The results revealed that African American women have favorable views toward seeking mental health services, comparable with non-African American women [27]. Our findings are contrary to the results of a previous study by Watson and Hunter who found that African American women have less favorable attitudes toward professional help seeking than their non-African American counterparts [3].…”

“…To our knowledge, there have been no studies that have examined the acceptability of text messaging to help African American women manage anxiety or depression. Nonetheless, prior studies that included a representative sample of African American participants (>13% of the study sample) and used text messaging for weight management, physical activity, or prenatal care education interventions have been effective [27][28][29][30]. Therefore, the insufficient representation of African Americans in previous telemental health studies may be largely because of ineffective recruitment and retention strategies, in addition to the previously discussed barriers that prevent them from seeking mental health care [31,32].…”

BACKGROUND The rates of mental illness among African American women are comparable with the general population; however, they significantly underutilize mental health services compared with their white counterparts. Previous studies revealed that interventions delivered via text messaging are effective and can be used to increase access to services and resources. More insight into whether or not this modality is acceptable for use to deliver mental health care to help African American women manage anxiety and depression is needed. OBJECTIVE This exploratory study aimed to gain insight into the acceptability of using text messaging to help African American women manage anxiety and depression. METHODS A self-administered Web-based survey was launched in June 2018 and closed in August 2018. Eligible participants were African American women (18 years or older) who reside in the United States. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling (eg, email sent via listservs and social media posts). Respondents were provided an anonymous link to the questionnaire. The survey consisted of 53 questions on the following subjects: sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, mobile phone use, and acceptability of using a mobile phone to receive mental health care. RESULTS The results of this exploratory study (N=101) showed that fewer than half of respondents endorsed the use of text messaging to communicate with a professional to receive help to manage anxiety (49/101, 48.5%) and depression (43/101, 42.6%). Approximately 51.4% (52/101) agreed that having the option to use text messaging to communicate with a professional if they are dealing with anxiety would be helpful. Similarly, 48.5% (49/101) agreed that having the option to use text messaging to communicate with a professional if they are dealing with depression would be helpful. Among participants who agreed that text messaging would be helpful, more than 80% noted being comfortable with its use to receive help for managing anxiety (approximately 86%, 45/52) and depression (approximately 82%, 40/49; highly significant positive association, all P<.001). More than 50% of respondents (56/101, 55.4%) indicated having concerns about using text messaging. No statistically significant associations were found between age and agreement with the use of text messaging to communicate with a professional to receive help for managing anxiety (P=.26) or depression (P=.27). CONCLUSIONS The use of text messaging was not highly endorsed by African American women as an acceptable mode of communication with a professional to help them manage anxiety or depression. Concerns around privacy, confidentiality, and the impersonal feel of communicating about sensitive issues via text messages must be addressed for this modality to be a viable option. The findings of this study demonstrated the need for further research into the use of mobile technology to provide this population with more accessible and convenient options for mental health care.

“…Vários fatores intrínsecos ao consumidor estão associados, como renda, escolaridade, patologias, necessidades individuais, sexo, entre outros. Mas os resultados podem ser afetados também pelas variações nos desenhos dos estudos, com intenção de escolha versus escolha real, tipo e localização das informações calóricas e dependência de dados alimentares autorrelatados ou obtidos a partir da venda dos alimentos, não podendo ser avaliado o consumo real (ABEL et al, 2014).…”

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi discutir o uso de rotulagem de cardápios em restaurantes e a influência dessas informações nas escolhas das refeições pelos clientes. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura a partir de artigos científicos dos últimos cinco anos, que permitiram a apresentação dos resultados em duas categorias: estudos em que os participantes fizeram escolha real dos alimentos para consumo e estudos nos quais os participantes realizaram escolha hipotética. As pesquisas apontaram resultados divergentes quanto ao uso da rotulagem de cardápios para escolha de alimentos mais saudáveis. Na maioria dos estudos, o uso de rótulos com informações qualitativas, como cores do semáforo ou símbolos de saúde, teve maior impacto na escolha dos consumidores. É importante que a rotulagem seja clara e forneça informações de fácil acesso e entendimento ao consumidor.
