Changes in levels of physical and psychological abuse, injuries, physical health symptoms, anxiety, and depression were assessed three times: immediately after exit from a domestic violence program and at 81/2- and 141/2-month follow-ups. Analyses showed a significant decline in abuse, physical health symptoms, anxiety, and depression over time. Longitudinal structural equation modeling demonstrated that ongoing abuse was significantly related to increased physical and psychological health problems from one time period to the next, even when prior levels of physical and psychological health were controlled. Within each time interval, the effects of abuse on physical symptoms appeared to be mediated through anxiety and depression; although this relationship was replicated at several time points, the mediation was not verified across time, probably because measurement intervals were too long to reflect the underlying causal sequence. Although injuries were the direct result of abuse, injuries showed no significant effect on physical symptoms, anxiety, or depression. Implications for intervention and future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":79542,"journal":{"name":"Women's health (Hillsdale, N.J.)","volume":"4 1","pages":"41-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20444510","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}

One hundred twenty-five women (ages 23-54) were randomly assigned to behavioral or brief educational interventions. Women in the 8-week behavioral condition received behavior change materials through the mail and 6 structured telephone counseling sessions. Educational condition participants received a single 5-min telephone call and educational information. Both groups reported significantly increased walking at a 2-month posttest (M change = 86 and 81 min per week for behavioral and educational groups, respectively) and 5-month follow-up (M change = 40 and 52 min per week). A 30-month follow-up of 50 participants indicated both groups continued to report more walking than at baseline. The behavioral intervention was not superior to the educational condition at any assessment point. The findings may be explained as (a) both interventions were equally effective, so extensive telephone counseling is unnecessary; (b) changes over time reflected secular trends; or (c) increases in self-reported walking may be due to socially desirable reporting. Other strategies need to be evaluated for promoting walking that are tailored to the needs of ethnic minority women.","PeriodicalId":79542,"journal":{"name":"Women's health (Hillsdale, N.J.)","volume":"4 1","pages":"19-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20445116","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}

Our research identified 5 types of HIV sexual risk taking in 3 independent samples of adult women from a New England Community: Group A women were noted by low to moderate levels of the 4 risk markers (i.e., unprotected vaginal sex, perceived partner-related risk, number of sexual partners, and unprotected anal sex); Group B women reported very high frequency of unprotected vaginal sex; Group C women were characterized by unprotected anal sex; Group D women had high perceived partner risk; and Group E women reported extremely high levels on all 4 HIV risk markers. Sexual risk groups were validated by demonstrating significant differences among groups on relevant behaviors, interpersonal experiences, and attitudes. Compared to other women, higher risk types reported greater behavioral risk practices (substance use, prostitution, diverse sexual experience), interpersonal risk experiences (sexual abuse, violence), initiation sexual assertiveness, and attitudinal risks (psychosocial distress). They reported less interpersonal assurance (surety of own and partner's HIV status), sexual assertiveness (for condom use and partner communication), psychosocial strengths (sexual self-acceptance), and transtheoretical readiness for change (condom use efficacy, readiness to consider condoms). Results provide additional support for the multifaceted model of HIV risk and the transtheoretical model. Suggestions for specifically focused interventions are given, depending on the pattern of sexual risk taking.","PeriodicalId":79542,"journal":{"name":"Women's health (Hillsdale, N.J.)","volume":"4 4","pages":"407-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20821946","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}

Cardiovascular risk factor and behavioral data from 489 participants (intervention group n = 236; control group n = 253) who attended baseline, 6-month, and 18-month clinical assessments were analyzed to determine how well initial improvements achieved at 6 months were maintained over the subsequent year of follow-up. Results indicated that the treatment effect persisted at 18 months for weight, body mass index, total cholesterol, LDL-c, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and glucose levels. Intervention participants maintained improvements in physical activity, caloric intake, dietary cholesterol, SBP, and glucose levels between 6 and 18 months, although weight, total cholesterol, and LDL-c began to rise during this period. Eighty percent of intervention participants compared to 45% of controls were at or under baseline weight at 18 months, suggesting that promoting modest weight loss may be an effective approach to preventing weight gain in these women.","PeriodicalId":79542,"journal":{"name":"Women's health (Hillsdale, N.J.)","volume":"4 3","pages":"255-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20698881","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}

Four hundred sixty (N = 460) African American women were recruited from health clinics and community settings in a southern city. Forty-five percent of the women (n = 207) had undergone HIV counseling and testing, whereas 55% (n = 253) had never been tested. Women who were seropositive were excluded from the analyses. After providing informed consent, the women completed a battery of cognitive mediating measures assessing AIDS knowledge, attitudes theoretically relevant to risk reduction, and self-reported sexual behavior. In addition, each participant demonstrated condom application skills using a penile model. Women who had undergone testing were younger, rated HIV disease as more serious, considered AIDS a greater health concern, had more positive attitudes toward HIV prevention, expressed greater intentions to use condoms, and evidenced a greater commitment to self-protective behavior than women who were not yet tested. Women who had undergone HIV antibody testing, however, showed no differences in sexual behavior from women who were never tested. Sexual behavior, including numbers of partners, frequency of unprotected intercourse, and inconsistent condom use, left women in both groups at significant and comparable risk for HIV and sexually transmitted disease infection. HIV counseling and testing alone may not be effective primary prevention strategies for promoting risk reduction among African American women.","PeriodicalId":79542,"journal":{"name":"Women's health (Hillsdale, N.J.)","volume":"4 2","pages":"135-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20576915","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}

We conceptualized GRI within couples as both the couple mean or stable gender-role ideology (the \"couple ideology\") and as each partner's deviation from the other partner's score. Moreover, for each partner, we estimated the relation between both the stable (i.e., mean) component and the change (i.e., time-varying) component of GRI and distress. Finally, for each partner we estimated the moderating effect of GRI on the relation between job-role quality and distress. Findings are: (a) the more egalitarian the husband's average GRI is relative to his wife's, the less distressed he is; (b) if over time a wife's GRI becomes less egalitarian relative to her husband's, then her distress will be more affected by changes in her job-role quality; (c) for husbands, as the couple's average GRI becomes more egalitarian over time, the effect of job-role quality on distress is lessened; and (d) for a man in a couple with a more egalitarian stable GRI, the effects of change in job-role quality on distress are less pronounced than for a man in a couple with a less egalitarian stable GRI. Results are discussed in terms of new conceptions of GRI revealing the dynamic interaction of within-couples' gender-role ideologies.","PeriodicalId":79542,"journal":{"name":"Women's health (Hillsdale, N.J.)","volume":"4 4","pages":"341-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20822736","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}
