“…These sites can reach individuals who do not have a regular health care provider, and in fact, 40 % of the participants in our study reported that they did not have health insurance. Our implementation trial succeeded in reaching Filipino Americans who have low levels of income and lack of health insurance-two characteristics that have been shown to be associated with lack of CRC screening among Filipino Americans and other ethnic groups [42][43][44]. Several of these community-based trials have shown good intervention effect sizes and programs in community settings may have promise for reducing disparities in CRC …”

The implementation of evidence-based strategies to promote colorectal cancer (CRC) screening remains challenging. The aim of this study is to evaluate two strategies to implement an evidence-based intervention to promote CRC screening in Filipino American community organizations. Twenty-two community organizations were randomized to either a basic or enhanced implementation strategy. In both arms, community health advisors recruited participants non-adherent to CRC screening guidelines, conducted educational sessions, distributed print materials and free fecal occult blood test kits, reminded participants to get screened, and mailed letters to participants' providers. In the enhanced arm, leaders of the organizations participated in implementation efforts. While the effectiveness was similar in both arms of the study (screening rate at 6-month follow-up was 53 % in the enhanced arm, 49 % in the basic arm), 223 participants were screened in the enhanced arm versus 122 in the basic arm. The enhanced implementation strategy reached 83 % more participants and achieved a higher public health impact.

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 ...
