“…Results of this study complement as well as contradict previous reports. Similar to prior reports 26 Information Sharing and Communication was associated with stage of adoption of FOBT. However, contrary to previous reports, none of the processes of change remained significantly associated with stage of adoption of FS in multivariate analysis.…”

“…These indices were adapted by Manne et al 26 from Rakowski et al_s 32 measure including: Commitment to Screening (six items, a=0.83), Information Sharing and Communication (six items, a=0.49), Thinking Beyond Oneself (five items, a=0.58), and Avoidance of the Health Care System (four items, a=0.64). The internal consistency for three of the four indices of Process of Change were moderately low; however, considering the exploratory nature of this study these measures were retained in the analysis.…”

“…Previous studies have grouped participants into six stages of adoption for cancer screening 26 (i.e., Never Heard, Precontemplation, Relapse/Risk for Relapse, Contemplation, Action, and Maintenance). Considering the distribution of scores across these six stages (e.g., few members were grouped in Precontemplation [defined as having heard of FS or FOBT, but has not had screening and has no plan for any in the next year (N=0)] and Contemplation [defined as having never had the procedure before, but considering in the next year (N=2 for FS, N=2 for FOBT)]), participants were grouped into three stages of adoption of CRC screening: 1) Never Heard; 2) Relapse/Risk for Relapse; 3) Action/Maintenance.…”

“…More recently, Trauth et al 25 also found the TTM to be an effective model to understand FS and FOBT screening among low-income populations. Manne et al 26 integrated factors from the HBM and TTM to identify factors associated to CRC screening among individuals with a sibling with CRC. They found that perceived pros and cons, perceived risk, Commitment to Screening and Avoidance of the Health Care System (both indices of processes of change) were significantly associated with screening compliance and stage of adoption.…”

African Americans (AAs) have the highest incidence rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) among all races in the US. These disparities may be attributed to lower participation in CRC prevention and control activities [e.g., flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS), fecal occult blood testing (FOBT)]. This is a current issue in East Harlem where less than half the residents in this area participate in CRC screening and mortality rates due to CRC are higher than the national average. We examined correlates of FS and FOBT screening among AAs based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) of behavior change. One hundred and eleven AA men and women, 50 years and older (51-92), low-income, and at average risk for CRC were recruited at an ambulatory care center in East Harlem. Assessments focused on sociodemographic, medical, psychosocial and TTM variables. The first logistic regression model showed that higher levels of education (pG0.05), greater knowledge of FS (pG0.05), and greater endorsements of Thinking Beyond Oneself (pG0.05) were associated with adherence to FS screening guidelines. The second model showed that only greater knowledge of FOBT (pG0.05) and receiving a physician_s recommendation (pG0.01) were significant correlates of adherence to FOBT screening guidelines. This study supported the application of components of the TTM for FS and FOBT screening among low-income AAs receiving care in an urban medical center and illustrated the need for interventions targeting both patients and their providers.

Exploring an approach to control the nanostructures of pconjugated polymers has been an important research target in materials science, which has led to the creation of various functional materials with optimized p-electronic properties.[1] In particular, nanostructures of conjugated oligomer/ polymer blends have received growing interest in their applications, which include electronic devices such as fieldeffect transistors, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells. [2] Several methods for controlling dimensionality, nanostructure, and morphology have been achieved through chemical and physical techniques that utilize microphase separation, layer-by-layer method, and so forth. [3, 4] Supramolecular approaches also have been applied for the alignment and organization of conjugated oligomers and polymers in a noncovalent manner, use of host matrix, liquid-crystalline phase, air-water interface, and so forth. [5, 6] From a supramolecular point of view, we recently proposed a new approach toward the alignment of conjugated polymers inspired by actin filament bundling proteins. A supramolecular cross-linking molecule ("aligner"), possessing conjugated polymer binding sites, bundles and aligns them in a noncovalent fashion. The concepts we have reported complement the existing techniques for supramolecular and macromolecular assembly. Introducing interactive sites for conjugated polymers at the spacial position of the aligner molecules allows control over the dimensions, morphologies, and interpolymer spacings. [7] This approach basically permits the construction of alternating arrays of different conjugated polymers, which depends upon the design of an aligner molecule displaying affinities toward such polymers.In this paper, we demonstrate that alternating arrays of amino-functionalized conjugated polymer (CP) and polyaniline emeraldine base (EB) were efficiently formed through the supramolecular bundling of a synthetic cross-linker 1 (Scheme 1). Very interestingly, the morphologies of the resultant conjugated polymer blends exhibited a well-regulated crystalline structure with periodicity of 2.0 nm. This approach can be regarded as a supramolecular two-dimensional polymerization of binary conjugated polymers. Compound 1 possesses two different binding sites which consist of cofacial porphyrinatozinc complexes and two palladium complexes. The former binding site was designed for recognizing CP and the latter for EB through coordination bonds. These binding sites are introduced around the terphenyl rotational axis so that one binding event would afford positive influence on the subsequent binding event. We wanted to integrate chromogenic groups so that we could confirm the binding events between 1 and the conjugated polymers in solution. When CP and EB are bundled and juxtaposed by 1, the distance between two polymers is calculated to be 2.0-2.3 nm in their energy-minimized states (see Supporting Information, Figure S2). Given the structures of the two different polymers, CP and EB, one can envision that an ideal ...

Credible and useful methodologic evaluations are essential for increasing the uptake of effective cancer screening tests. In the current article, the authors discuss selected issues that are related to conducting behavior change interventions in cancer screening research and that may assist researchers in better designing future evaluations to increase the credibility and usefulness of such interventions.Selection and measurement of the primary outcome variable (i.e., cancer screening behavior) are discussed in detail. The report also addresses other aspects of study design and execution, including alternatives to the randomized controlled trial, indicators of study quality, and external validity. The authors conclude that the uptake of screening should be the main outcome when evaluating cancer screening strategies; that researchers should agree on definitions and measures of cancer screening behaviors and assess the reliability and validity of these definitions and measures in different populations and settings; and that the development of methods for increasing the external validity of randomized designs and reducing bias in nonrandomized studies is needed.
