One of these is the Health Belief Model. Even though the model has been applied widely, not much has been done to contextualize the model for contemporary application in Africa. In the absence of a theory by and for Africans that addresses behavior prediction from a health communication viewpoint, there is a need to contextualize the available theories for application in the African context. This study aims to expose additional constructs that have been proposed to contextualize HBM for studies in the continent. Such suggestions for extensions and additional constructs could provide insights into gaps that scholars see as not addressed by the original version of HBM. This essay reviews 9 articles that either proposed or recommended additional constructs. The findings of the review show that to contextualize the model for application in Africa, some of the key additional constructs to consider are community influence, cultural background, subjective norms, social support, and environmental factors.KEYTERMS: Africacommunity influencecultural backgroundhealth belief modelsocial support Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135696358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"On Intersections of Power and Vulnerability: A Critique of Nollywood, Heteropatriarchy, and Ideologies of Motherhood","authors":"Tomide Oloruntobi","doi":"10.1080/10646175.2023.2264232","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10646175.2023.2264232","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThis article explores the representational politics of motherhood in Nollywood. It argues that a latent hetero-normative/patriarchal ideology shapes the construction of motherhood in Nollywood. Through a postcolonial media critique of both lived experiences and six purposively selected movies, I analyze the interplay of power and vulnerability in Nollywood’s portrayal of motherhood. Themes of heteropatriarchal fetishism, paradox of matripotency, and strategic silencing were identified. I propose a decolonial rethinking of normative ideologies, critique culturally sanctioned power imbalances, and invite more scholarship on queer politics and identities in Nollywood and postcolonial Nigeria. I conclude that to achieve equitable representation, Nollywood requires transformative reevaluation of how the mother-image is calibrated and negotiated. Producers must reflexively animate mother-affirming representations and critically examine the implied meaning of their portrayal of women/mothers.Keywords: Decolonialityhetero-normativity/patriarchymatripotencymotherhoodpostcolonial media AcknowledgementsI would like to thank my mum, an exceptional Abiyamo, who continues to inspire my scholarship with the values of love, kindness, and empathy she instilled in us.

Health disparities as observed in self-rated health (SRH) status were examined across four different ethnic groups of White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. It further evaluated and compared the social determinants that account for variations in SRH status among these groups. Results from a national sample (HINTS-5 2018) showed a series of significant discrepancies in SRH among the four ethnic groups. In addition, Blacks rated their overall patient-provider communication higher than the other three groups; however, Asians reported lower ratings than the other three groups on all seven measurement items of patient-provider communication. Furthermore, findings underscored the important role of patient-provider communication as a social determinant in predicting SRH among White and Black populations, but not among Asian and Hispanic counterparts. Finally, findings suggested that social support, demographic characteristics (age, gender, and marital status), and socioeconomic status (education, occupation, and household income) influence SRH differently for the four ethnic groups. Important research and intervention implications are discussed, especially for better understanding of differences in effects of patient-provider communication on SRH by race/ethnicity.","PeriodicalId":45915,"journal":{"name":"Howard Journal of Communications","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135741354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
