“…Of particular interest in this population is the role of unmet basic needs like food, shelter and safety. These hardships are common reasons for people calling 2-1-1 (Alcaraz, Arnold, Eddens, Lai, Rath, Greer, & Kreuter, 2012) and meeting these needs often supersedes addressing other life challenges (Kerner, Dusenbury, & Mandelblatt, 1993). …”

“…Many African-Americans live with environmental discriminatory disadvantages that place them at high risk for behavioral and emotional challenges. For instance, African-Americans are more likely to experience both absolute and relative poverty (DeNavasWalt, Proctor, & Smith, 2010) and to have poorer physical and mental health outcomes (Kerner, Dusenbury, & Mandelblatt, 1993). This, researchers have surmised, suggests a strong interaction between race and other demographics, such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status (Jackson et al, 2004).…”

confidence: 99%
“…Over the past several years, a growing body of literature has supported the role of culturally specific, church-based programs in improving the health status of vulnerable populations (Kerner et al, 1993;Lasater, Becker, Hill, & Gans, 1997) including African American communities (Kerner et al, 1993;Kotecki, 2002). For example, the church has been used as a convenient and meaningful intervention site for a variety of health programs including smoking cessation (Stillman, Bone, Rand, & Levine, 1993), prevention and management of hypertension (Smith, 1989), cardiovascular disease prevention (Turner, Sutherland, Harris, & Barber, 1995), prostate cancer education (Weinrich et al, 1998), asthma education (Ford, Edwards, Rodriguez, Gibson, & Tilley, 1996), cervical cancer control programs (D.

“…Faithbased interventions offer a potentially effective strategy for increasing access to health education and screening programs for African Americans and other underserved populations (Kerner, Dusenbury, & Mandelblatt, 1993;Kotecki, 2002). In this article, we present a formative evaluation of a CDC Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 2010 faith-based breast and cervical cancer early detection and prevention intervention for African American women living in urban communities.…”
