Logistic regression analysis assessed factors related to meeting PA recommendations, including demographic characteristics, barriers to PA, injunctive norms, perceived behavioral control, intention, and descriptive norms measured via SNA.Results: 40.6% (n = 99) of participants met minimum PA recommendations. Higher perceived behavioral control (OR = 1.47, P < .001), intention (OR = 1.16, P = .01), having more female network members (OR = 1.02, P = .04) and more network members who were active with the participant (OR = 1.03, P < .001) were associated with increased odds of meeting PA recommendations. Network density scores (OR = .04, P < .01), decreased the odds of meeting PA recommendations.Conclusions: Our findings highlight the importance of a person's immediate social context, more so than global social norms, on their PA behavior. In addition to increasing individual-level perceived behavioral control and intentions, efforts aimed at promoting PA should focus on leveraging aspects of social networks that translate to direct social influence on individual behavior. This study affirms SNA as a useful way to assess descriptive norms defined in the IBM.","PeriodicalId":47183,"journal":{"name":"Family & Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"310-318"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three domains of predictors (predisposing, need, and enabling factors) were assessed. The outcomes were 3 major online PE activities (online access to care, information seeking and sharing, and self-management support).Result: Online health engagement was associated with multiple chronic diseases, perceived need for colorectal cancer screening, difficulty finding providers, and lower mistrust. Younger age, higher awareness of colorectal cancer risk, better health status, difficulty finding providers, frequent internet use, and misunderstanding between patients and providers were associated with increased online information seeking and sharing. Female gender, more cancer knowledge, lower income, and higher information search difficulty were associated with increased online self-management support.

A total of 501 participants completed a REDCap survey, with 255 providing complete data. The survey queried demographics, physical and mental health, and health care utilization. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and CHERRIES guidelines.Results: Participants reported significant barriers to care, including being uninsured (22%), geographic distance (33%), fear of negative reactions (26%), and past trauma (23%). Discrimination in health care settings was reported by 83%, impacting access. High rates of homelessness (26%), food insecurity (73%), and chronic medical conditions (92%) were reported. Approximately 55% reported head trauma, 26% experienced intimate partner violence-related head injuries, and only 44% sought care for head injuries. Moderate depressive and anxiety symptoms were common, and 49% screened positive for possible PTSD.Conclusions: This study highlights barriers to care reported by LGBTQIA+ individuals, emphasizing the need for culturally informed services.

Families with positive screens were contacted following their ED visit and provided resources. Fisher exact and Chi-square tests were used to identify sociodemographic factors associated with SDOH and resource requests.Results: Of the 95 surveys administered, 42% were positive for ≥1 SDOH, most frequently food scarcity (27%). Forty percent of families with positive SDOH needs screens requested services, of which remote resource assistance was performed successfully with 75%. Families with an unemployed primary caregiver ( P = .04) and Medicaid insurance ( P < .001) were more likely to screen positive for SDOH needs. Forty percent of respondents were from surrounding rural counties and were less likely to request resources ( P = .01).Conclusions: SDOH needs are common among families utilizing EDs for their children's health care.

Seven interviews were conducted with nine combined participants from three schools. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results: Cross-case analysis revealed three salient themes: (1) the need for coordinated communication, (2) variation in partnership collaboration, and (3) fluctuation in the use of established policy.Implications for policy: This study revealed gaps in communication from upper-level education administration, and having diverse partners can enhance shared use implementation efforts.

This sequential mixed-methods study examined the effect of Developmental Understanding and Legal Collaboration for Everyone (DULCE), a 6-month SDOH intervention conducted in pediatric clinics in California and Florida.Methods: Using survey data collected among Latinx caregivers who participated in the DULCE evaluation (n = 393), we examined changes in caregivers' depression, stress, and resilience, including differences by nativity. Qualitative interviews were conducted with DULCE participants (n = 16) across nativity to elucidate the components of the intervention that impacted caregiver outcomes.Results: DULCE led to significant increases in resilience among Latinx caregivers, especially immigrants, but no changes in depression or stress. Qualitative interviews illuminated that the following themes contributed to caregivers' resilience through the DULCE program: trusted relationship with family specialist caseworkers, connection to critical resources, addressing postpartum depression and social isolation, building caregivers' capacity to withstand challenges, and bolstering caregivers' confidence to seek resources independently.Discussion: Pediatric SDOH interventions are a promising strategy to support Latinx families in early childhood. Effective interventions for Latinx families, however, require strategies that pair resource connection with relationship building, address immigrants' and Latinx system avoidance, and incorporate additional supports or boosters for families experiencing extreme stress.","PeriodicalId":47183,"journal":{"name":"Family & Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"207-222"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144006463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
