“…In countries with limited resources, detailed objective measurements of cognitive status may not be always possible especially for large population studies. Furthermore, qualitative narratives on dementia [68, 69] and the perception of cognitive health in different cultures [70] have highlighted cultural differences in how people perceive cognitive abilities and states. Moreover, despite the heterogeneity of SMC aetiology, SMC had in many previous studies predicted worse health outcomes in older adults and may be worth monitoring.…”

“…Respondents were also asked about their self-rated knowledge of PrCA screening guidelines using a 5-point scale ranging from “no knowledge at all” to “a great deal of knowledge” [10]. They were asked about PrCA guidelines they used in their practice and resources they relied on to learn about new evidence regarding PrCA screening guidelines [15, 16]. Seven items assessed PCPs’ PrCA screening practice with patients in general (4 items) [17, 18] and their perceptions of PrCA screening (3 items) using 5-point Likert scales ranging from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree” [16, 18, 19].…”

PCPs’ discussions with AA patients about PrCA screening and prostate health (7 items) [10, 16, 19, 20], perceived barriers to communicating with AA patients regarding PrCA screening/health (6 items; using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree”) [21, 22], perceptions of the importance of strategies for helping AA men make a decision regarding PrCA screening (5 items; using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “not at all important” to “very important”) [21, 22], and awareness of nutritional counseling services to treat obesity that is covered by SC Healthy Connections Medicaid were also assessed (1 item).…”

“…The papers reviewed in this section show rather clearly that most gerontological research on ethnicity is informed by the essentialist/primordialist understanding of ethnicity, meaning that ethnicity is determined a priori through researchers' assignment and that it is often taken to mean that background determine people's preferences, behaviours and conditions, e.g. Quine (1999) on health concerns; Braun, Tanji and Heck (2001) on support for physician-assisted suicide; Peng, Navaie-Waliser and Feldman (2003) on social support and home health service use; Bajekal et al (2004) on quality of life; Wray (2007) on mid-life; Bowen and Gonzalez (2008) on the use of health-care services and functional disability; Liang et al (2009) on functional health; Lawrence et al (2010) on the experience of dementia; Schans and Komter (2010) on patterns of intergenerational solidarity; Victor, Burholt and Martin (2012) on loneliness; Alpass et al (2013) on care-giver health; and Laditka et al (2013) on descriptions of cognitive impairment. Worth noting is perhaps that this understanding of ethnicity has been described by ethnicity scholars as ‘research-asserted’ (Bradby 2003).…”
