“…Data came from the Washington Heights/Inwood Informatics Infrastructure for Community-Centered Comparative Effectiveness Research (WICER) project (10,11). Briefly, residents of 3 low-income, primarily immigrant northern Manhattan neighborhoods, recruited through a probability sample of households and snowball sampling, were asked to participate in an in-person cross-sectional survey administered by trained, bilingual (Spanish and English) community health workers from March 2011 through November 2012.…”

IntroductionUS Hispanics, particularly younger adults in this population, have a higher prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension than do people of other racial/ethnic groups. Little is known about the prevalence and predictors of antihypertensive medication adherence, a major determinant of hypertension control and cardiovascular disease, and differences between age groups in this fast-growing population.MethodsThe cross-sectional study included 1,043 community-dwelling Hispanic adults with hypertension living in 3 northern Manhattan neighborhoods from 2011 through 2012. Age-stratified analyses assessed the prevalence and predictors of high medication adherence (score of 8 on the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale [MMAS-8]) among younger (<60 y) and older (≥60 y) Hispanic adults.ResultsPrevalence of high adherence was significantly lower in younger versus older adults (24.5% vs 34.0%, P = .001). In younger adults, heavy alcohol consumption, a longer duration of hypertension, and recent poor physical health were negatively associated with high adherence, but poor self-rated general health was positively associated with high adherence. In older adults, advancing age, higher education level, high knowledge of hypertension control, and private insurance or Medicare versus Medicaid were positively associated with high adherence, whereas recent poor physical health and health-related activity limitations were negatively associated with high adherence.ConclusionEquitable achievement of national hypertension control goals will require attention to suboptimal antihypertensive medication adherence found in this study and other samples of US Hispanics, particularly in younger adults. Age differences in predictors of high adherence highlight the need to tailor efforts to the life stage of people with hypertension.

“…Therefore, the person attempts to escape from the condition and the associated negative mood status (Baumeister, ). Suicide attempt may be triggered by physical illness (Goldmann, Roberts, Parikh, & Boden‐Albala, ) or mental health issues, such as depression or long‐term harassment, discrimination, or violence (Cavanaugh et al, ). Ongoing domestic violence can adversely affect women's mental health to the extent that the destructive impact of domestic violence on person's health is comparable to chronic disease (Baumeister & Scher, ).…”

Aims and objectives:To investigate the impact of domestic violence-related factors on suicide attempt in married women.Background: Suicide is a global public health concern that poses significant burden on individuals, families and communities. There is limited research on factors predicting suicide attempt in women. Design:A retrospective case-control design was adopted.Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, 610 participants, admitted to a teaching referral hospital in Northwest of Iran, were recruited to the study and assigned to case or control groups based on whether or not they had attempted suicide.The participants in two groups were matched in the terms of important demographic characteristics. Domestic violence-related factors were considered as independent variables and suicide attempt as dependent variable. Descriptive statistics, and simple and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Odds ratios (OR) of domestic violence-related factors were compared between the groups.We used STROBE checklist as an EQUATOR in this study. Results:The mean age of participants in the case and control groups was 28.4 and 29.45 years, respectively. The infidelity was the strongest predictor of suicide attempt in women (OR 44.57, 95%CI 6.08-326. 63, p < 0.001), followed by being threatened to physical assault by husband (OR 37.01, 95%CI 11.54-118.67, p < 0.001), jealousy of husband (OR 23.46,, p < 0.001), and previous attempts to divorce (OR 16.55,.31, p < 0.001). Suicide attempt was significantly lower in women who reported a sense of peace in life or lived with their mother or father-in-law (p < 0.001). Conclusions:To reduce the risk of suicide in women, violence against women should be condemned and appropriate prevention measures be taken by health professionals. Relevance to clinical practice: Recognising risk, assessment and referral of victims of domestic violence should be an integral part of healthcare systems.

“…Recent research examining the impact of health conditions, broadly defined, on suicidal ideation and suicide attempts has yielded mixed findings. An increasing number of health conditions has been indirectly associated with suicidal ideation (Goldmann, Roberts, Parikh & Boden‐Albala, ). In another study within ITS framework, an increasing number of health conditions was associated with suicidal ideation after accounting for the presence of comorbid physical disabilities.…”

Objectives: This study examined histories of suicidality among those with and without physical disabilities. Physical disabilities were anticipated to differentiate those with a history of suicide attempts from those with a history of ideation only after accounting for the presence of health conditions and other correlates.Methods: Participants were 374 adults (M age = 36.08; 55.61% female; 84 with at least one physical disability) who completed a series of online questionnaires. Multinomial logistic regressions were conducted to examine the effect of the presence of physical disabilities on states of suicidality. Results:The presence of a physical disability was associated with significantly increased odds of suicide attempts when compared to those with suicidal ideation only. This association was no longer significant when chronic pain conditions were classified as health conditions. Conclusion: Physical disability may be a factor differentiating between ideators and attempt survivors. K E Y W O R D S disability, health, ideation to action, suicide J. Clin.
