SOCIETY <strong>of</strong> BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE<br />
Foreword from the <strong>Program</strong> Committee<br />
Dear SBM Members and Colleagues,<br />
We are pleased to present you with the <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Program</strong> for the 28 th Annual Meeting &<br />
Scientific Sessions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Behavioral</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> (SBM). The theme for the<br />
<strong>2007</strong> conference is Science to Impact: The Breadth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Behavioral</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> and consistent<br />
with that theme, we have a lineup <strong>of</strong> remarkable and engaging speakers to deliver our<br />
Keynote Addresses and Master Lectures, in addition to many other exciting educational<br />
sessions. Our sessions will address a broad range <strong>of</strong> topics <strong>of</strong> interest to clinicians,<br />
educators, scientists and other attendees who attend this year’s meeting.<br />
For those <strong>of</strong> you who have attended an SBM Annual Meeting before, as you preview<br />
the <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Program</strong> you will find that several changes have been made and new features<br />
have been added to the program this year—all based on feedback from those <strong>of</strong> you who<br />
attended last year’s meeting. For those <strong>of</strong> you who are attending our Annual Meeting<br />
for the first time, we hope that you will appreciate the multi-dimensional aspects <strong>of</strong> the<br />
scientific program, which reflect the transdisciplinary nature <strong>of</strong> the field <strong>of</strong> behavioral<br />
medicine.<br />

Abbie O. Beacham, PhD<br />
Increasingly major health organizations are calling for increased<br />
integration <strong>of</strong> behavioral health providers in primary care settings.<br />
Although there are multiple models for how to integrate, the<br />
behavioral health consultation model, through adaptations to the<br />
primary care setting, allows the behavioral health consultant to<br />
provide behavioral health care to significantly more patients. The<br />
purpose <strong>of</strong> this workshop is to provide attendees with practical<br />
recommendations and tools for how to integrate into primary care.<br />
The presenters have experience developing integrated primary<br />
care programs in multiple clinics, including Family <strong>Medicine</strong>,<br />
Internal <strong>Medicine</strong>, and OB/GYN and across different settings,<br />
including in large health care settings and in small community<br />
clinics. We will focus on discussing: 1. Pre-requisites for integrating<br />
into primary care settings. 2. How to conduct an assessment and<br />
introduce behavioral health interventions that work in primary care<br />
environments. 3. How to successfully integrate with other medical<br />
providers. 4. Barriers to integration, particularly outside <strong>of</strong> large<br />
health programs.<br />

Cancer and Aging: Challenges and Opportunities Across<br />

Deborah J. Bowen, PhD, Karen M. Mustian, PhD and Barbara Resnick,<br />
PhD CRNP<br />
More than 60% <strong>of</strong> cancer survivors are age 65 or older and 16% <strong>of</strong><br />
those over 65 have a history <strong>of</strong> cancer. With the aging population<br />
and increase in survival rates, we can expect a significant increase in<br />
older cancer survivors over the next few decades. These older adult<br />
survivors face the dual challenges <strong>of</strong> aging and cancer. Naturally,<br />
there is emerging interest in understanding the cancer and aging<br />
interface. The Cancer SIG pre-conference workshop will provide<br />
attendees with a better understanding <strong>of</strong> the opportunities<br />
and challenges involved in research on this rapidly increasing<br />
population. Topics to be covered include: 1) the epidemiology<br />
<strong>of</strong> cancer and aging, 2) prevention and screening, 3) treatment,<br />
4) survivorship, 5) end <strong>of</strong> life, and 6) decision making. The preconference<br />
workshop will include nationally renowned speakers<br />
with time devoted to discussion after each presentation. The<br />
speaker session will be followed by breakout sessions on specific<br />
topics and a synthesis <strong>of</strong> the presentations and breakout session<br />
discussions at the end <strong>of</strong> the day.<br />

Honoring Dr. Rodney A. Clark: A Snapshot<br />

The conceptualization <strong>of</strong> racism and ethnic<br />
discrimination as social stressors that impact<br />
disparities in racial and ethnic minority health<br />
status has undoubtedly amassed a great deal<br />
<strong>of</strong> research as <strong>of</strong> late. The notion that race<br />
or ethnicity-related stressors may indeed<br />
contribute to disparities in cardiovascular<br />
health among minorities, particularly African<br />
Americans has been <strong>of</strong> central interest. Dr.<br />
Rodney A. Clark’s theoretical and research<br />
contributions to the understanding <strong>of</strong> how<br />
racism is a psychosocial stressor affecting the<br />
health <strong>of</strong> racial/ethnic minorities represents<br />
significant progress in the field. On May 18,<br />
2006 Dr. Clark passed away. Although he had<br />
received his PhD less than 10 years earlier, his<br />
work as a young scholar was recognized by<br />
many including the SBM Young Investigator’s<br />

Award (2001). Dr. Clark authored over 17 peer-reviewed articles<br />
including the widely cited article in American Psychologist, Racism<br />
as a Stressor for African Americans: A Biopsychosocial Model<br />
(1999), co-authored by Drs. Norman B. Anderson, Vernessa R.<br />
Clark, and David R. Williams. This seminal paper provided the<br />
foundation for much <strong>of</strong> the research that followed on the role <strong>of</strong><br />
racial/ethnic-related stress on health. This symposium will critically<br />
engage theoretical and empirical developments, limitations, and<br />
necessary shifts revealed in this area <strong>of</strong> study in an effort to further<br />
our understanding, application, and utility <strong>of</strong> research that seeks<br />
to elucidate the influence <strong>of</strong> racial/ethnic-related stress on health<br />
disparities.<br />

People <strong>of</strong>ten choose smaller rewards over larger rewards<br />
when the smaller reward is available sooner. Similarly, people<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten choose a smaller reward over a larger reward when the<br />
smaller reward has a higher probability <strong>of</strong> receipt. <strong>Behavioral</strong><br />
economic explanations for such behavior are based on temporal<br />
discounting (i.e., the decrease in subjective value <strong>of</strong> a future<br />
reward as the delay to its receipt increases) and probability<br />
discounting (i.e., the decrease in subjective value <strong>of</strong> a reward as<br />
the probability <strong>of</strong> its receipt decreases). Our research addresses<br />
the question <strong>of</strong> whether temporal and probability discounting<br />
represent two distinct, albeit related, phenomena, or whether<br />
one phenomenon provides the basis for the other. Temporal<br />
discounting, in particular, is central to current psychological<br />
models <strong>of</strong> self control. According to these models, self control<br />
represents the ability to defer immediate rewards so as to achieve<br />
greater, delayed rewards. Differences in self control, then, are a<br />
consequence <strong>of</strong> the steepness <strong>of</strong> temporal discounting functions.<br />
In addition, differences in risk taking may reflect differences in<br />
the shallowness <strong>of</strong> the probability discounting function. Both<br />
temporal and probability discounting play important roles in<br />
decision making, and may explain such health-related problem<br />
behaviors as addiction and obesity.<br />

Neil E. Grunberg, PhD<br />
Continuity <strong>of</strong> species, a central tenet <strong>of</strong> Darwin’s Theory <strong>of</strong><br />
Evolution, revolutionized psychology and medicine. There are<br />
many historical examples <strong>of</strong> animal studies that are relevant<br />
to behavioral medicine, including the work <strong>of</strong> Pavlov, Watson,<br />
Thorndike, Lashley, Yerkes, Skinner, Miller, Hebb, and others.<br />
These classic studies inspired much <strong>of</strong> our laboratory’s work<br />
that has used rats as subjects to address such questions as:<br />
Why do ex-smokers gain weight? Does tobacco use affect<br />
attention? What is the relationship between tobacco use and<br />
stress? Are there gender and age differences in effects <strong>of</strong><br />
tobacco use? What is the role <strong>of</strong> nicotine in the varied effects<br />
<strong>of</strong> tobacco use? How can we best help people successfully<br />
abstain from tobacco use? Can nicotine be used as a beneficial<br />
medication? This presentation will review the methods and<br />
findings <strong>of</strong> animal experiments conducted in our laboratory<br />
over the past 25 years that addressed these clinically-relevant<br />
questions. The presentation also will highlight current<br />
questions and problems in behavioral medicine that would<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>it from parallel animal and human studies.<br />

Childhood Obesity: Rates, Risks, and Remedies in the<br />
Hispanic Community<br />
Amelie Ramirez, DrPH and Kipling J. Gallion, MS<br />
Childhood obesity can presage an adulthood <strong>of</strong> cardiovascular<br />
disease, diabetes, cancer, and other obesity-related diseases, but in<br />
Hispanics, whose income, education, and insured rates are among<br />
the lowest and selected obesity rates are some <strong>of</strong> the highest, the<br />
prospects are especially daunting. Hispanics’ status as the fastest<br />
growing ethnic group in America compounds the implications.<br />
Genetic, cultural, environmental, socioeconomic, and behavioral<br />
threads combine to create a distinct experience <strong>of</strong> obesity and<br />
overweight. Under nutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and food insecurity<br />
threaten the health and undermine the future <strong>of</strong> the youngest.<br />
Much more research and an expansion <strong>of</strong> the corps <strong>of</strong> scientists<br />
performing Hispanic health research must be undertaken.<br />

Can Environmental Dietary Factors Make Regulating<br />
Energy Intake Difficult?<br />
Hollie A. Raynor, PhD<br />
Basic eating research has consistently demonstrated that two<br />
environmental dietary factors, variety and amount <strong>of</strong> food, influence<br />
intake, such that greater variety and amount <strong>of</strong> food increase<br />
consumption. The effect <strong>of</strong> these two variables does not appear<br />
to be greatly influenced by participant characteristics, such as age,<br />
gender, or weight status, suggesting that these environmental<br />
dietary variables strongly influence eating behavior. Interestingly,<br />
as the prevalence <strong>of</strong> obesity has increased over the past several<br />
decades in the U. S., data from U. S. food manufacturers indicate<br />
that portion sizes <strong>of</strong> foods and the number <strong>of</strong> different foods<br />
available in the market have also greatly increased during this time.<br />
These findings suggest that given the current environment, to help<br />
individuals achieve energy balance, or to reach a negative energy<br />
balance necessary for weight loss, these two dietary factors need<br />
to be addressed. Preliminary data from 8-week behavioral weight<br />
loss interventions indicate that directly targeting reducing amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> food via single-serving, portion-controlled foods or decreasing<br />
variety via a dietary prescription that limits the number <strong>of</strong> different<br />
energy-dense snack foods may both be helpful in reducing intake<br />
<strong>of</strong> targeted foods as compared to a standard, hypocaloric, low-fat<br />
diet prescription<br />
Children’s Cognition and Achievement: Associations<br />
with Obesity and Effects <strong>of</strong> Exercise<br />
Catherine Davis, PhD<br />
The presentation will review the literature on the association <strong>of</strong><br />
children’s cognition & achievement with obesity and inactivity.<br />
Experimental data testing the effect <strong>of</strong> an exercise intervention on<br />
these outcomes will be presented, and implications for educational<br />
policy will be highlighted.<br />

From Fruit Flies to Fruit Juice:<br />
Exploring the Complex Causes <strong>of</strong><br />
Obesity<br />
David B. Allison, PhD, University <strong>of</strong> Alabama<br />
at Birmingham<br />
The prevalence <strong>of</strong> obesity has increased substantially in the last<br />
several decades ad indeed has been increasing for at least 100<br />
years. Two factors, food marketing practices and institutionally<br />
driven reductions in physical activity, are so commonly cited<br />
and seemingly unquestionably accepted as the chief causes <strong>of</strong><br />
this phenomenon that other causes may be overlooked. I will<br />
present data on at least a dozen other putative contributors<br />
to the obesity epidemic. Information will be drawn from<br />
ecological and epidemiological studies <strong>of</strong> humans, clinical<br />
trials, animal studies and studies addressing physiological<br />
mechanisms, when available. For many <strong>of</strong> these putative<br />
causes supportive evidence will be <strong>of</strong>fered that in many cases<br />
is as compelling as the evidence for more commonly discussed<br />
putative explanations. I will suggest that undue attention has<br />
been devoted to institutionally-driven reductions in physical<br />
activity and food marketing practices as postulated causes for<br />
increases in the prevalence <strong>of</strong> obesity, leading to neglect <strong>of</strong> other<br />
plausible mechanisms and well-intentioned, but potentially illfounded<br />
proposals for reducing obesity rates.<br />

Ronald Glaser,<br />
MS, PhD<br />
Psychological stress can dysregulate many aspects <strong>of</strong> the immune<br />
response; indeed, chronic stress, particularly in older individuals,<br />
may actually “reset” the immune system, resulting in prolonged<br />
production <strong>of</strong> proinflammatory cytokines. The overproduction<br />
<strong>of</strong> these cytokines has important health implications.<br />
Viral latency may present a new way to think about aging and<br />
inflammation. A number <strong>of</strong> studies from our laboratory and<br />
others show that stress reactivates latent herpesviruses such as<br />
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Almost everyone is infected with EBV by<br />
the time they become adults. The cellular immune response plays<br />
an important role in controlling the expression and replication<br />
<strong>of</strong> latent herpesviruses, and we have shown that stress is<br />
associated with “leakage” <strong>of</strong> viral proteins associated with<br />
the reactivation process. One <strong>of</strong> these proteins, deoxyuridine<br />
triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase), may be linked to<br />
increases in serum IL-6 levels. It is possible, through this line<br />
<strong>of</strong> research, that a new way <strong>of</strong> looking at herpesvirus latency<br />
may provide insight into understanding the pathophysiology <strong>of</strong><br />
latent viruses and diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, EBVassociated<br />
malignant disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome.<br />

Social psychological theory <strong>of</strong>fers many potentially fruitful avenues<br />
for the development <strong>of</strong> effective health communications and<br />
behavioral interventions. The aim <strong>of</strong> this workshop is to review<br />
several examples <strong>of</strong> how a wide range <strong>of</strong> current theories in this<br />
discipline can be applied in a health context. All <strong>of</strong> the speakers<br />
are social psychologists whose work bridges the divide between<br />
the fields <strong>of</strong> social psychology and health psychology. Alexander<br />
Rothman will begin by discussing how theory must inform practice<br />
and practice must inform theory, drawing on examples from his<br />
own and others’ research programs. William Klein will begin by<br />
discussing recent applications <strong>of</strong> social comparison theory and<br />
self-affirmation theory. Paschal Sheeran will discuss effects (both<br />
deliberate and automatic) <strong>of</strong> social psychological constructs such<br />
as prototypes and implementation intentions on the relationship<br />
between intentions and behaviors. Linda Cameron will consider<br />
how the classic mental representations approach – conceptualized<br />
here as a model <strong>of</strong> self-regulation – might be used to understand<br />
risk perception and to construct successful risk messages. Hart<br />
Blanton will discuss the relevance <strong>of</strong> several social psychological<br />
theories to the effects <strong>of</strong> message framing on the effectiveness <strong>of</strong><br />
risk communications. The final segment <strong>of</strong> the workshop will be<br />
devoted to questions and discussion (moderated by Kevin McCaul).<br />
This program is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, with<br />
the aim <strong>of</strong> facilitating greater connections between research in<br />
social psychology and the health sciences.<br />

Research evidence is increasingly a basis for health care practice<br />
and policy-making. The systematic review is a tool used to avoid<br />
bias when synthesizing the research evidence for interventions.<br />
Systematic reviews use an explicit, systematic strategy to locate,<br />
critically appraise, and synthesize evidence from many research<br />
studies weighted by quality. Relatively few systematic reviews<br />
exist for behavioral treatments. Treatments for which high-quality<br />
evidence is insufficient cannot be determined to be effective or<br />
ineffective. Great need exists to improve the quality and increase<br />
the extent <strong>of</strong> the evidence base for behavioral treatments.<br />
The seminar goal is to familiarize behavioral medicine pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
with how to find, use and write systematic reviews. Speakers<br />
demonstrate steps and methods taken to conduct a systematic<br />
review (question definition, search and selection <strong>of</strong> studies,<br />
quality rating, data analysis, addressing intervention and outcome<br />
heterogeneity). Presenters are Joost Dekker, an experienced<br />
reviewer for the Cochrane Collaboration; and Evelyn Whitlock, an<br />
experienced reviewer for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.<br />

Summary: This special session represents the first time that ACS and<br />
NCI have shared a stage discussing both internal scientific projects<br />
and extramural funding in behavioral science. This initial collegial<br />
presentation will highlight both extramural research interests,<br />
current and future, and ongoing research being conducted by<br />
behavioral scientists within ACS and the NCIs Office <strong>of</strong> Cancer<br />
Survivorship(OCS). The ACS intramural science presentation will<br />
focus upon the <strong>Behavioral</strong> Research Centers (BRC) large cohort<br />
studies <strong>of</strong> cancer survivors (Studies <strong>of</strong> Cancer Survivors I & II),<br />
while OCS will present their data from the SEER (Surveillance,<br />
~ 57 ~<br />
Epidemiology and End Results)special studies project, focusing<br />
upon where survivors are currently receiving their followup care<br />
and prevalence/type <strong>of</strong> health related problems. The extramural<br />
presentations will focus on the areas <strong>of</strong> special interest on the<br />
part <strong>of</strong> both funding agencies and provide an overview <strong>of</strong> current<br />
grant portfolios. <strong>Final</strong>ly, thoughts regarding future directions and<br />
needs both in terms <strong>of</strong> funding priorities and internal scientific<br />
projects will be presented by Julia Rowland (Director, OCS) and<br />
Michael Stefanek (Director, BRC). Other key presenters include:<br />
Kevin Stein, Director, Quality <strong>of</strong> Life Research, ACS; Tenbroeck<br />

Obesity<br />
Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Rudd Center for Food<br />
Policy and Obesity, Yale University, New Haven, CT<br />
Record levels <strong>of</strong> obesity in every country in the<br />
world, and the associated chronic disease burden<br />
suggest that business as usual, or even more<br />
damaging, the pretense <strong>of</strong> action, will not be<br />
beneficial. A clear set <strong>of</strong> environmental drivers<br />
has been elucidated in recent years, although<br />
there are still important research questions in<br />
understanding some important cause and effect<br />
relationships, say in the case <strong>of</strong> agriculture subsidies<br />
and international trade policies and their impact<br />
on the world’s diet. This presentation will suggest<br />
a conceptual change in the way we think about<br />
nutrition and obesity and will propose; a) strategic<br />
research questions; b) important roles for people<br />
with expertise in behavioral medicine, and c) public<br />
policy recommendations.<br />
• 2:00 pm Brief presentations by leaders such<br />
as Debra Haire-Joshu, PhD, James F. Sallis,<br />
Jr., PhD, Janelle Krishnamoorthy, Shiriki<br />
Kumanyika and Mary Story, PhD, RD, on<br />
how SBM and its members can contribute to<br />
reversing the obesity epidemic through research<br />

cessation. The Department has strong linkages to the<br />
other public health-related departments, the Kansas<br />
Cancer Institute, the Schools <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, Nursing, and<br />
Allied Health, as well as graduate research programs at<br />
the University <strong>of</strong> Kansas. The Department is home to a<br />
nationally-recognized Master <strong>of</strong> Public Health program.<br />

publications, and teaching is essential. The chair must be<br />
prepared to lead and expand the research and education<br />
programs in the Department and work collaboratively with<br />
community partners and other University programs to<br />
enhance the vision and mission <strong>of</strong> public health in Kansas.<br />

DEPRESSION, PATIENT ADHERENCE AND GLYCEMIC<br />
CONTROL IN TYPE 2 DIABETES<br />
Susan Nash, PhD, Luis Rustveld, PhD and Valory Pavlik, PhD<br />
Baylor College <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, Houston, TX.<br />
The prevalence <strong>of</strong> depression among patients with type 2 diabetes<br />
is recognized and better assessment and control <strong>of</strong> depression<br />
is suggested to improve treatment adherence. However, some<br />
researchers report no clear relationship between depression<br />
and biological markers <strong>of</strong> adherence. This study examined<br />
the relationships among self-reported adherence, depression<br />
and glycemic control, and whether depression moderated the<br />
relationship between adherence and glycemic control. Data were<br />
collected from 232 patients (mean age = 56.6 ± 10.3) with type<br />
2 diabetes (24.1% non-Hispanic white, 31.9% non-Hispanic<br />
black, and 44.0% Hispanic) recruited from public and private<br />
primary care clinics in a cross-cultural validation study <strong>of</strong> a brief<br />
neuropsychological test battery. A medical history form assessed<br />
sociodemographics, health status, medications, and reported<br />
adherence to medical recommendations. The Beck Depression<br />
Inventory was administered with the test battery, and laboratory<br />
measures were obtained at follow-up testing. Univariate analysis<br />
revealed no association between total Beck scores and glycemic<br />
control (β = 0.02, Exp (β) = 1.0, p = 0.17), but self-reported<br />
adherence was significantly associated with glycemic control (β<br />
= 0.38, Exp (β) = 1.5, p = 0.002). Inclusion <strong>of</strong> depression in the<br />
model slightly attenuated the relationship between self-reported<br />
adherence and glycemic control (β = 0.35, Exp (β) = 1.4, p =<br />
0.007). In multivariate analysis, self-reported adherence remained a<br />
significant predictor <strong>of</strong> glycemic control (β = -0.67, Exp (β) = 0.5,<br />
p = 0.036) after adjusting for the interaction term <strong>of</strong> depression<br />
and adherence, age, duration <strong>of</strong> diabetes and medication use. The<br />
interaction term between depression and adherence was nonsignificant<br />
in the multivariate model. In this sample <strong>of</strong> primary<br />
care patients, self-reported adherence was a stable and independent<br />
predictor <strong>of</strong> glycemic control, and the relationship between<br />
adherence and control was not affected by depressive symptoms.<br />
Exploration <strong>of</strong> other comorbidities may enhance understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
the relationships among depression, self-reported adherence, and<br />
glycemic control.<br />

IS IT BETTER TO LOSE AND REGAIN THAN TO NEVER<br />
HAVE LOST AT ALL? THE IMPACT OF WEIGHT REGAIN<br />
ON METABOLIC RISK FACTORS<br />

According to the Institute <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, reductions in body weight<br />
<strong>of</strong> 5% or more in obese individuals are associated with clinically<br />
significant improvements in metabolic risk factors for disease.<br />
However, long-term follow-up evaluations indicate that treatmentinduced<br />
weight reductions are not well maintained, and little is<br />
known about the effects <strong>of</strong> weight regain on changes in metabolic<br />
risk factors. The present study examined the impact <strong>of</strong> weight regain<br />
on metabolic risk factors by comparing a group <strong>of</strong> individuals (n<br />
= 65) who lost > 5% and regained weight (i.e., “Regainers”) with<br />
a group (n=121) who lost > 5% and maintained their reductions<br />
(i.e., “Maintainers”) and a group (n=53) who failed to achieve a<br />
5% reduction (“Non-losers”). These groups were drawn from a<br />
sample <strong>of</strong> middle-aged (mean = 59.2 yr) obese women (mean BMI<br />
= 36.6) who participated in a 6-month weight-loss intervention and<br />
who were followed for an additional 12 months. At final followup,<br />
the “Maintainers,” “Regainers,” and “Non-losers” had mean<br />
net weight changes <strong>of</strong> -14.1 kg, -1.3 kg, and +1.1 kg, respectively.<br />
The “Maintainers” showed significant reductions in systolic blood<br />
pressure, glycemic control (HbA1c), and triglycerides (all ps<<br />
.0001). The “Regainers” had significant reductions in systolic<br />
blood pressure and glycemic control (ps

incarcerated in state prisons and prescribed ART were surveyed<br />
prior to randomization in an adherence RCT. The sample consisted<br />
<strong>of</strong> 91 males and 9 females, with a mean age <strong>of</strong> 40 years (SD=7).<br />
Sample ethnicity was: 65% African-American, 23% White, 12%<br />
Hispanic/Latino, 11% Native American, and 4% other. Mean<br />
education: 11 years (range=6-20). 44% had undetectable HIV<br />
viral loads and mean CD4 count was 369cells/ul (SD=283). 45%<br />
reported missing any doses <strong>of</strong> ART in the past 30 days, with mean<br />
number <strong>of</strong> days missed <strong>of</strong> 1.9 (SD=3.2, Range=0-21). Compared<br />
to those with good adherence, participants reporting adherence<br />
lapses in the past 30 days had significantly lower levels <strong>of</strong> adherence<br />
self-efficacy, adherence importance and adherence confidence, and<br />
significantly higher levels <strong>of</strong> HIV symptoms, medication side effects<br />
and stress. Social support was not significantly related to 30 day<br />
adherence. A multiple regression analysis <strong>of</strong> these factors predicting<br />

An estimated 15% <strong>of</strong> children and adolescents are overweight.<br />
This epidemic <strong>of</strong> adolescent obesity has resulted in a need for<br />
effective methods <strong>of</strong> weight loss and maintenance. Bariatric surgery<br />
and laparoscopic banding (LAGB) in particular are common and<br />
effective in the adult population but have not yet been approved<br />
for use in adolescents. As we begin to study adolescents who seek<br />
bariatric surgery, we find new issues that warrant our attention as<br />
mental health providers.<br />
The current paper is a descriptive study <strong>of</strong> the first 40 adolescents<br />
who presented for LAGB in an FDA-approved study <strong>of</strong> its safety<br />
and efficacy in this age group. Patients were 60% female aged 12 to<br />
18 (X=15). The average BMI was 50, ranging from 34.2 to 74.5.<br />
Ethnicity was 58% Caucasian and 42% other minorities. Data<br />
were collected using clinical interviews, chart review and self report<br />
measures.<br />
Depression was reported by 30%, while 13% endorsed current<br />
suicidal ideation and 15% had previous suicide attempts. In<br />
addition, 28% had current or past episodes <strong>of</strong> deliberate self-harm.<br />
Problematic anxiety was endorsed by 30%; 10% were homeschooled<br />
due to discomfort with social situations. 13% had previous<br />
inpatient psychiatric admissions while 68% had previous outpatient<br />
treatment. Psychotropics were taken by 37%, typically antidepressants<br />
or ADHD medications.<br />
Previous work documents high levels <strong>of</strong> psychopathology in clinical<br />
samples <strong>of</strong> obese adolescents. The findings <strong>of</strong> the current study<br />
suggest that adolescents who attend a bariatric clinic may represent<br />
the most disturbed <strong>of</strong> the overweight adolescents. These results<br />
speak to the need for renewed attention to the development <strong>of</strong><br />
empirically-based interventions to aid in the treatment <strong>of</strong> this group<br />
as we work to help them safely manage the stress associated with<br />
bariatric surgery and obtain successful outcomes.<br />

EMOTIONAL DISCLOSURE: AN EFFECTIVENESS STUDY<br />
FOR PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS<br />

Since Pennebaker and Beall’s (1986) landmark study, an extensive<br />
literature has generally supported the health benefits <strong>of</strong> emotional<br />
disclosure. However, recent meta-analyses have questioned the<br />
magnitude <strong>of</strong> these effects, and the few disclosure studies <strong>of</strong><br />
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have mixed results. This study<br />
~ 69 ~<br />
addressed the following questions: Does field-based, unsupervised<br />
disclosure provide benefits for RA patients? Does the method<br />
<strong>of</strong> disclosure (written or verbal) matter? Do these findings vary<br />
over time? A sample <strong>of</strong> 150 patients with RA (89.6% female;<br />
58.1% Caucasian, 41.9% African American; age M=54 years)<br />
were recruited from local clinics, assessed for baseline data, and<br />
randomized to either written or verbal (tape recorder) disclosure<br />
about stressful experiences or control topics at home for 4 days, 20<br />
minutes/day. Follow up assessment at 1, 3, and 6 months included<br />
objective health measures (e.g. erythrocyte sedimentation rate,<br />
blind physician ratings <strong>of</strong> swollen and tender joints), behavioral<br />
measures (e.g. walking speed, pain med use, observer-rated<br />
videotaped pain behavior), and self-reported physical (e.g. McGill<br />
Pain Questionnaire-SF, AIMS-2) and psychological (e.g. perceived<br />
stress scale, PANAS) well-being. There were no observed differences<br />
at 1 or 3 months between disclosure and control groups, with the<br />
exception at 3 months <strong>of</strong> increased positive affect in the disclosure<br />
group (p=.038). At 6 months, significant benefits <strong>of</strong> disclosure were<br />
observed only in walking time (p=.014), and sensory (p =.035) and<br />
affective pain (p=.016). Findings were not moderated by the method<br />
<strong>of</strong> disclosure. Despite sufficient power, multiple assessment points,<br />
and a range <strong>of</strong> measures, we failed to find consistent evidence for<br />
the benefits <strong>of</strong> disclosure. These findings suggest that disclosure<br />
conducted in the field has weaker effects than found in more highly<br />
controlled, supervised settings. Such evidence suggests limitations<br />
to the view that emotional disclosure interventions might replace<br />
traditional psychological interventions.<br />

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISTRESS LEVELS AND<br />
INTEREST IN PSYCHOSOCIAL SERVICES IN HEAD AND<br />

Head and neck cancers (HNC) are considered one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />
traumatic forms <strong>of</strong> cancer due to the amount <strong>of</strong> pain, discomfort,<br />
and disfigurement caused by treatment which may lead to high<br />
levels <strong>of</strong> distress. The Psycho-Oncology Screening Tool (POST) was<br />
developed to assess distress, physical symptoms, practical concerns<br />
and interest in psychosocial services. This study examined 44 HNC<br />
patients (mean age 58.7; 93% Caucasian, 70.5% married, 79.5%<br />
male) who completed the POST before and after radiotherapy<br />
treatment. The number <strong>of</strong> depressive symptoms endorsed by<br />
participants significantly increased from pre- to post-treatment, t<br />
(43) = -3.34. The individual symptoms that showed significance<br />
included both cognitive symptoms (feeling worthless, t (43) =<br />
-1.95; thoughts <strong>of</strong> life not being worth living, t (41) = -2.35)<br />
and somatic symptoms (decreased interest in sex, t (39) = -2.45;<br />
decreased energy, t (22) = -2.02; change in appetite, t (42) = -<br />
3.1). Comparison <strong>of</strong> pre and post changes in VAS measures found<br />
significant increases in reported levels <strong>of</strong> fatigue, t (39) = -3.85.<br />
Despite the fact that there were significant increases in distress<br />
we found a decrease in interest in obtaining psychosocial services

(31.8% <strong>of</strong> the patients reported an interest in these services pretreatment;<br />
16.2% reported interest post-treatment). Our results<br />
indicate that there is a discrepancy between patients’ apparent<br />
needs for psychosocial services and their interest in obtaining<br />
these services. These findings highlight the need to identify HNC<br />
patients at high risk for psychological morbidity prior to the start <strong>of</strong><br />
treatment and to provide interventions that help patients manage<br />
their psychosocial and physical symptoms as they undergo cancer<br />
treatment.<br />

LONG-TERM PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT IN<br />
PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER<br />
DEFIBRILLATORS<br />

There is little known about the long-term psychological adjustment<br />
<strong>of</strong> cardiac patients who receive implantable cardioverter<br />
defibrillators (ICDs) to treat heart rhythm problems. Previous<br />
studies have been limited by small sample sizes and lack <strong>of</strong> followup<br />
data. This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence <strong>of</strong><br />
psychiatric symptoms in a sample <strong>of</strong> 106 patients who underwent<br />
ICD implantation at Hartford Hospital between 1999 and 2003,<br />
and examined their psychological status via mailed surveys at 3-<br />
7 years following implantation. The sample ranged in age from<br />
32-94 (M=68 yrs) and was predominantly white (93%), male<br />
(87%), well-educated, married and financially comfortable. 253<br />
surveys were initially mailed; 141 individuals did not participate,<br />
three individuals were either deceased or incapacitated, and seven<br />
participants’ responses were not used because it was believed that<br />
they did not understand the questions.<br />
At follow-up, 6.7% <strong>of</strong> the sample endorsed mild symptoms <strong>of</strong><br />
depression (BDI = 14-19), and 6.7% reported moderate to severe<br />
symptoms (BDI >20). Mean anxiety scores were low for state (M=<br />
33.4) and trait anxiety (M= 33.4), as measured by the STAI. 19%<br />
<strong>of</strong> the sample reported a low degree <strong>of</strong> social support. Scores on<br />
anxiety and depression measures were not related to age, length<br />
<strong>of</strong> time since implantation, or gender. Respondents who reported<br />
a previous history <strong>of</strong> depression, however, endorsed significantly<br />
greater symptoms <strong>of</strong> both anxiety (state and trait) and depression<br />
following implantation.<br />
Overall, results indicated that up to 15% <strong>of</strong> ICD patients have<br />
symptoms <strong>of</strong> depression at 3-7 years post-implantation. This study<br />
extends the literature on psychological adjustment to ICD by<br />
providing data on long-term psychological status <strong>of</strong> ICD patients.<br />
Future research will utilize interviews with a trained clinician to<br />
uncover more subtle adjustment or psychiatric difficulties in this<br />
vulnerable population.<br />

Inventory (BDI), which has shown good predictive validity,in<br />
ESRD, against the SCID for DSM-IV diagnosis (Hedayati, 2006).<br />
METHOD:The current study explores the differences between<br />
the scores on each BDI item in 3 samples: clinically depressed<br />
patients who are medically healthy (n=55), ESRD patients who<br />
have been SCID diagnosed with depression (n=20), and ESRD<br />
patients who are not depressed (n=50). RESULTS:A significant<br />
pattern emerged with elevated scores on all BDI items for the<br />
depressed medically-healthy group, moderate scores for the<br />
depressed ESRD, and low scores for the non-depressed ESRD<br />
group. Although the non-depressed and depressed ESRD patients<br />
scored higher on the somatic than on the cognitive/affective BDI<br />
items, the depressed group remained significantly elevated over<br />
the non-depressed. CONCLUSION:The BDI is a valid way to<br />
screen for depression in ESRD patients. Still, the pattern <strong>of</strong> scores<br />
supports the need for modified interpretation <strong>of</strong> the scale in this<br />
population. There are two suggestions <strong>of</strong> how to do this: (1)exclude<br />
somatic questions and utilize only cognitive and affective items,<br />
which Kimmel (2002) dubbed the Cognitive Depression Inventory<br />
(CDI) (2)raise the minimum BDI depression cut<strong>of</strong>f score from<br />
10 (standard populations) to 15 to allow for increased somatic<br />
difficulty experienced by ESRD patients, minimizing distortion due<br />
to medical illness (Craven, Rodin & Littlefield, 1988). The present<br />
study supports the second strategy as the depressed ESRD group<br />
scored higher on the somatic items than the non-depressed ESRD<br />
patients, indicating that inflation on the somatic questions is not<br />
only due to medical illness but also has a psychiatric component.<br />

II in a sample <strong>of</strong> BMT candidates using factor analysis. The<br />
participant sample is described as 230 BMT candidates with a mean<br />
age <strong>of</strong> 55 years (sd= 12.7), 75.2% married/partnered (12.6% single,<br />
6.3% divorced, 4.6% widowed, 1.2% unspecified), 76.9% white<br />
(20.1% unspecified, 1.7% other, 1.3% black), and 58% male (42%<br />
female). The BDI-II was completed as part <strong>of</strong> a routine tertiary<br />
care pre-transplant psychological evaluation. Results revealed 3<br />
factors akin to traditional factors that can be described as ‘somatic’,<br />
‘negative cognitive self-appraisal’, and ‘affective’. Two additional<br />
factors resulted, described here as ‘frustration’ and ‘percieved<br />
punishment’. The somatic factor was the strongest and most distinct<br />
explaining 16.8% <strong>of</strong> the variance, followed by the cognitive factor<br />
(12.6%), affective (11.1%), frustration (10.9%), and perceived<br />
punishment (8.9%). Caution must be used in assessment <strong>of</strong><br />
depressed mood in medically ill patients as somatic symptoms <strong>of</strong><br />
depression may reflect physical illness, depressive symptoms, or<br />
both. Confirmatory factor analyses are necessary. If confirmed, use<br />
<strong>of</strong> BDI-II factors as “subscales” will be explored to aid improved<br />
specificity in assessment <strong>of</strong> depressive symptoms in BMT patients.<br />
Improved specificity would translate to improved identification <strong>of</strong><br />
patients who may benefit from treatment for depressed mood while<br />
undergoing BMT.<br />

Introduction: Anxiety and depressive disorders have been<br />
established as independent risk factors for both the development <strong>of</strong><br />
and recovery from coronary heart disease (CHD). However, there<br />
is a little research examining the prevalence <strong>of</strong> comorbid psychiatric<br />
diagnoses (PD) among these individuals. This project examined: (1)<br />
the prevalence <strong>of</strong> comorbid anxiety and depressive disorders among<br />
men and women with CHD, and (2) the demographic, medical,<br />
and psychosocial characteristics among those with multiple PD.<br />
Methods: Participants were 143 CHD patients (M age = 61 years,<br />
SD = 11.2, 70% men, 91% Caucasian, 64% married) entering<br />
cardiac rehabilitation (CR) who were evaluated via a semistructured,<br />
psychiatric interview to assess both current and lifetime<br />
prevalence rates <strong>of</strong> PD. Demographic and medical information, and<br />
psychosocial questionnaires were also assessed.<br />
Results: Approximately 45% met criteria for at least one anxiety<br />
disorder, and 20% met criteria for either Major Depressive<br />
Disorder (MDD) or Dysthymic Disorder (DD) either at the time<br />
<strong>of</strong> evaluation or in their lifetime. Across all CHD participants,<br />
26% met criteria for two or more PD. Of those with a depressive<br />
disorder, approximately 76% also met criteria for at least one<br />
comorbid anxiety disorder. Participants with comorbid PD were<br />
<strong>of</strong> younger age, female, and reported less education (all ps <<br />
.01). In addition, comorbidity was also associated with overall<br />
diminished physical, emotional, and social quality <strong>of</strong> life (QOL).<br />
Among traditional CHD risk factors, comorbidity was associated<br />
with increased body mass index (p = .017); however, all remaining<br />
comparisons were not significant.<br />
Conclusions: Comorbid PD are highly prevalent and are associated<br />
with sociodemographic characteristics, QOL, and overall adiposity,<br />
suggesting that assessment <strong>of</strong> anxiety and depressive disorders may<br />
be warranted in outpatient cardiac settings.<br />

ASSESSING PHYSICIAN TRAINING, BELIEFS AND<br />
PRACTICES ASSOCIATED WITH SMOKING CESSATION<br />

Research has identified a number <strong>of</strong> barriers reported by<br />
physicians which may limit their ability to address tobacco use<br />
by their patients. These include time, cost, knowledge/training<br />
and confidence in the intervention. Despite these findings, little<br />
attention is paid to addressing the needs <strong>of</strong> providers. While most<br />
physicians report speaking to their patients about tobacco use,<br />
only a minority provide targeted cessation intervention. This study<br />
surveyed the beliefs, attitudes, training and practices <strong>of</strong> providers<br />
from all specialties at a large university medical center using an<br />
online questionnaire. Eighty providers responded. Results revealed<br />
that approximately 88% reported assessing tobacco use in all new<br />
patients. Most reported asking questions during their history and<br />
physical (60%), and 37% reported including questions in their<br />
patient history forms. Time was the most frequently cited barrier<br />
to assessing and treating tobacco use, followed by case-load. Fiftyeight<br />
percent <strong>of</strong> providers reported that they never or rarely refer<br />
patients to a formal tobacco cessation program and only 8.75%<br />
reported doing so <strong>of</strong>ten. Eighty-six percent <strong>of</strong> the providers reported<br />
receiving no formal training in tobacco assessment/cessation during<br />
medical school, and 73% reported receiving no such training during<br />
residency. Most providers strongly believed such training should<br />
be part <strong>of</strong> both medical school and residency curricula. <strong>Final</strong>ly,<br />
if <strong>of</strong>fered more resources (e.g. handouts, education and support<br />
groups) 63% <strong>of</strong> the providers indicated they would be more likely<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer treatment to their tobacco using patients. The results suggest<br />
that while providers believe training in tobacco assessment/cessation<br />
is important, few received such training. Furthermore, while the<br />
majority <strong>of</strong> providers believe tobacco assessment and treatment to<br />
be important, most feel available resources are lacking. A model<br />
for tobacco assessment/cessation with emphasis on addressing<br />
physician-reported barriers and training for providers is discussed.<br />

Survival rates for childhood cancers have improved dramatically,<br />
such that in the U.S. today, the overall 5-year survival rate<br />
exceeds 70%. Many institutions have developed specialized<br />
clinics (“Survivor” or “Late Effects” clinics) dedicated to the care,<br />
education, and psychosocial support <strong>of</strong> cancer survivors and their<br />
families.<br />
The present study included 125 long-term cancer survivors who<br />
were: diagnosed before the age <strong>of</strong> 20, at least 5 years post-diagnosis,<br />
in remission, and currently older than 20 years <strong>of</strong> age. About half<br />
<strong>of</strong> the cohort had attended the Long-Term Follow-up <strong>Program</strong> at<br />
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Eligible participants were<br />
contacted by mail inviting them to participate in the study. After<br />
obtaining informed consent, participants completed demographic<br />
information, knowledge <strong>of</strong> disease/treatment, quality <strong>of</strong> life,<br />
health behaviors, and psychosocial adjustment by self-report on<br />
standardized questionnaires.<br />
Overall, participants were diagnosed with cancer during late<br />
childhood (M=12.3, SD=5.9), were Caucasian (83%), female<br />
(60%), currently in their early 30’s (M=30.5, SD=6.1), and highly<br />
educated (65% > college). The three most common diagnosis<br />
categories were sarcomas, leukemias, and hodgkin lymphoma.<br />
Survivors reported having tried tobacco (30%), alcohol (55%) and<br />
lying outisde to tan (40%). Over 18% were sedentary and about a<br />
third were overweight or obese (characterized by BMI). Two-thirds<br />
reported that they think about their health <strong>of</strong>ten, three-quarters<br />
identified their future health status as a major concern, yet only<br />
42% reported having an annual visit with an internist. Future<br />
analyses will examine differences between those survivors who<br />
attended a “survivor” clinic versus those who did not. Based on<br />
our findings, a small group <strong>of</strong> participants were identified as “high<br />
risk” and potentially would be in need <strong>of</strong> targeted psychosocial and<br />
behavioral interventions.<br />

THE ASSOCIATION OF TOBACCO USE AND DEPRESSION<br />

Tobacco use and depression <strong>of</strong>ten present as comorbid conditions<br />
in the general population. Within the BMT population symptoms<br />
<strong>of</strong> depression are common, though understudied in relation to<br />
tobacco and other health behaviors. Tobacco use represents an<br />
incremental infection risk and has been linked to shorter survival<br />
in BMT populations. Somatic symtpoms <strong>of</strong> depression present a<br />
methodological challenge, as they can reflect depression, physical<br />
illness, or both. Factor analysis allows for statistical separation <strong>of</strong><br />
somatic and non-somatic factors. We hypothesized that non-somatic<br />
depression symptoms would be related to tobacco use in a sample<br />
<strong>of</strong> BMT patients. Factor analysis <strong>of</strong> the Beck Depression Inventory-<br />
II and ANOVA was utilized to examine the relationship between<br />
5 depression symtom factors and dichotomous tobacco use history<br />
(30 days <strong>of</strong> continuous use or greater). The participant sample<br />
can be described as 201 BMT candidates with a mean age <strong>of</strong> 55<br />
years (sd= 12.8), 75.6% married/partnered (13.4% single, 5.5%<br />
divorced, 4.5% widowed, 1.0% unspecified), 79.1% white (18.4%<br />
unspecified, 1.5% other, 1.0% black), and 59.7% male (40.3%<br />

female). Results revealed a statistical trend linking the ‘affective’<br />
factor <strong>of</strong> depression to greater likelihood <strong>of</strong> tobacco use history<br />
(t= -2.0, p=.051). Other non-somatic depression factors were not<br />
statistically related to tobacco use history (p’s> .30). These results<br />
partially support our hypothesis linking non-somatic depression<br />
to tobacco use history in BMT patients. Replication is needed.<br />
Future studies should examine the relationship <strong>of</strong> depression<br />
symtpoms to tobacco use across multiple time points in BMT<br />
treatment, including within the year prior to transplant when risk <strong>of</strong><br />
relapse to tobacco use is high and post-transplant in the vulnerable<br />
survivorship period.<br />

Advent <strong>of</strong> genetics technologies promises advances in treatment and<br />
prevention <strong>of</strong> many physical health and mental health conditions.<br />
These advances, however, also portend potential ethical, legal,<br />
and social implications, which could have negative consequences.<br />
Attitudes <strong>of</strong> caregivers toward genetics technologies may have a<br />
potential impact on care provided and options available to clients.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this study was to assess attitudes <strong>of</strong> future health care<br />
providers towards genetics technologies. Subjects consisted <strong>of</strong> 72<br />
students enrolled in a Physician Assistant Studies <strong>Program</strong>, most <strong>of</strong><br />
whom were under 30 years <strong>of</strong> age. Subjects provided demographic<br />
information and completed a 21 item knowledge questionnaire<br />
along with a 65 item ELSI questionnaire on which they indicated<br />
their degree <strong>of</strong> agreement/disagreement with a variety <strong>of</strong> statements<br />
regarding use <strong>of</strong> and access to genetic technology. After a lecture/<br />
discussion, students completed the ELSI questionnaire again.<br />
Results indicated no relationship between knowledge <strong>of</strong> genetics<br />
technologies or previous exposure to genetics information and<br />
attitudes towards genetics technologies. There were significant<br />
differences in who (e.g., counselors, physical therapists) PA students<br />
think ought to have access to genetic information. There were also<br />
significant differences in beliefs <strong>of</strong> ethical appropriateness <strong>of</strong> various<br />
different possible uses (e.g., prevent cancer, obesity, or mental<br />
disorders, clone humans, increase intelligence). Students were<br />
generally less likely than practicing health care providers to support<br />
employer and insurance company access to genetic information, and<br />
students disagreed, but only somewhat, that genetic testing ought<br />
to be mandatory for certain groups (e.g., violent <strong>of</strong>fenders or people<br />
with mental health problems or mental disabilities). There were<br />
many significant differences in the pre and post lecture/discussion<br />
ratings, with students generally becoming more conservative in<br />
their ratings. These results have significant implications, which we<br />
discuss.<br />

There is a large literature on primary care-based interventions<br />
targeting physical activity and diet. The reach and representativeness<br />
<strong>of</strong> physicians and patients is important in informing the translation<br />
<strong>of</strong> this body <strong>of</strong> work into practice. The Logan Healthy Living<br />
<strong>Program</strong> is a cluster-randomized trial evaluating a telephone- and<br />
print-delivered diet and physical activity intervention, compared to<br />
usual care, targeting low-income patients with type 2 diabetes and<br />
hypertension recruited from primary care practices in Australia. The<br />
study aimed to recruit 10 practices and 400 patients. Patients were<br />
randomly selected from electronic medical records. We approached<br />
36 practices in order to recruit the 10 needed (28% participation<br />
rate). A total <strong>of</strong> 434 from 598 reached and eligible patients<br />
consented to participate (72.6% participation rate). The number <strong>of</strong><br />
physicians within the practice did not differ between participating<br />
and non-participating practices. Participating and non-participating<br />
physicians did not differ with respect to sex or age. Participants<br />
were more likely to have greater than high school education (p =<br />
0.017), higher household income (p < 0.001), be widowed (p =<br />
0.043), be obese (p = 0.010), have more chronic conditions (p =<br />
0.040) and be never smokers (p < 0.001) compared to eligible nonparticipants.<br />
Participants and non-participants did not differ on<br />
physical activity, vegetable or fruit recommendations. The study was<br />
successful in reaching a representative sample <strong>of</strong> practices, however<br />
differences were noted between participating and non-participating<br />
patients. Results have important implications for the generalizability<br />
<strong>of</strong> findings and suggest that additional recruitment strategies are<br />
needed to increase the representativeness <strong>of</strong> lower educated and<br />
lower income patients in future studies.<br />

<strong>of</strong> this variable and predictors influence how patients evaluate the<br />
health care they received. Therefore the main goal <strong>of</strong> this study<br />
was to examine different models <strong>of</strong> satisfaction with health care in<br />
order to better understand what patients take into account when<br />
they assess the health care they have received. Based on the model<br />
proposed by Donabedian in 1988, where he proposes a three factor<br />
model to account for satisfaction with health care (structure, process<br />
and results), we examined satisfaction in a sample <strong>of</strong> 111 patients<br />
who were interviewed after their visit in four different primary<br />
health care centers in Chile. All participants included consented to<br />
participate in the study as did all health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals who provided<br />
the health care to them. Patients included in the study were mostly<br />
females (64,9%) and were on average 49 years <strong>of</strong> age. We included<br />
information about health care providers (sex, health care pr<strong>of</strong>ession)<br />
and patients (sex, age, depression, among others) as predictors <strong>of</strong><br />
the models. Two different measures <strong>of</strong> results were included (assign<br />
a grade and ideal consultation). Using regression models and SEM<br />
we found that different predictors account for the variance <strong>of</strong> each<br />
component <strong>of</strong> the Donabedian model. We also found that the<br />
best model included using results as dependent variable, and was<br />
predicted by the process variable among other factors. We also<br />
found differences if results were measured as a grade versus ideal<br />
care. Other analyses were conducted in order to further understand<br />
the relationship among variables. Implications for research and<br />
practice are discussed based on the results found.<br />

Physical Therapy, University <strong>of</strong> New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM.<br />
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a unique style <strong>of</strong> communication<br />
that has demonstrated success in improving a wide range <strong>of</strong> health<br />
behaviors in a variety <strong>of</strong> clinical populations. Experienced trainers<br />
now <strong>of</strong>fer workshops to learn MI and forward thinking health science<br />
programs provide MI training within the school curriculum. In this<br />
pilot study, the standard two-day MI training was adapted to provide<br />
a 6-hour introductory classroom teaching module for PT students<br />
attending the University <strong>of</strong> New Mexico. Sixteen students with no<br />
previous training were given a series <strong>of</strong> pre and post questionnaires to<br />
evaluate the teaching process and the impact on learning. An analysis<br />
<strong>of</strong> the data identified a trend towards improvement after participation<br />
in the teaching module. The students increased their perceived<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in MI from a mean score <strong>of</strong> 4.5 to 8.4 on a 0-10 scale and<br />
scored a mean score <strong>of</strong> 8.4 out <strong>of</strong> 10 in a knowledge test. The students<br />
gave a mean rating <strong>of</strong> 8.2 on a 0-10 scale for the extent to which the<br />
class helped the learner meet predetermined objectives. Additional<br />
student comments included recommendations to further develop<br />
the skills <strong>of</strong> MI by providing an opportunity to observe, practice and<br />
receive feedback on the application <strong>of</strong> the techniques by using PT<br />
scenarios and real patients.<br />

EFFECTS OF NEGATIVE SOCIAL SUPPORT ON WOMEN<br />
UNDERGOING SURGERY FOR SUSPECTED ENDOMETRIAL<br />

Background: Social support has beneficial associations with<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> life and clinical outcomes in cancer. However, “negative”<br />
social support (e.g., being criticized, feeling let down), specifically,<br />
may have detrimental effects. Very little research has examined<br />
associations among negative social support and indicators <strong>of</strong><br />
psychosocial well-being among individuals with cancer. This study<br />
examined cross-sectional associations between negative social<br />
support and psychosocial functioning in women undergoing surgery<br />
for suspected endometrial cancer - the most common gynecologic<br />
cancer in the U.S.<br />
Methods: Subjects were women scheduled for radical hysterectomy<br />
for suspected endometrial cancer. Subjects underwent psychosocial<br />
assessment 1 week prior to surgery. The Sources <strong>of</strong> Social Support<br />
Survey, Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton-Anxiety and<br />
Depression scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Perceived<br />
Stress Scale were used to assess negative social support, mood, sleep<br />
quality, and life stress, respectively.<br />
Results: Subjects had a mean age <strong>of</strong> 60 (SD=9.4) years. Bivariate<br />
Pearson correlations among variables <strong>of</strong> interest revealed that greater<br />
negative social support from a husband/partner was associated<br />
with more depressive (r=.59, p=.002) and anxious (r=.62, p=.001)<br />
symptoms, poorer sleep quality (r=.54, p=.004) and efficiency (r=-<br />
.44, p=.028), and greater perceived stress (r=.44, p=.03).<br />
Conclusions: Greater negative social support from a husband/<br />
partner was associated with multiple indicators <strong>of</strong> poorer<br />
psychosocial functioning among women undergoing endometrial<br />
cancer surgery. Although based on a small sample size, these findings<br />
suggest negative social support may be an important construct<br />
to assess and to target for psychosocial interventions in order to<br />
improve quality <strong>of</strong> life among women undergoing cancer surgery.<br />

THE EFFECT OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION ON BLOOD<br />
PRESSURE IN PERSONS AT RISK FOR HYPERTENSION<br />
James A. McCubbin, PhD and June J. Pilcher, PhD<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Psychology, Clemson University, Clemson, SC.<br />
In the past decade, both sleep deprivation and hypertension have<br />
become increasingly prevalent, yet the potentially important<br />
relationship between them has not been well characterized. The<br />
current study seeks to clarify the causal pathways between sleep loss<br />
and hypertension by examining the effects <strong>of</strong> sleep deprivation in<br />
persons at enhanced risk for hypertension development.<br />
Fifty one normal young adult men and women were exposed to a<br />
30 hour period <strong>of</strong> total sleep deprivation in a sustained operations<br />
laboratory. Family medical history and demographics were obtained<br />
at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the test period. Subjects worked on variety <strong>of</strong><br />
cognitive and vigilance challenges throughout the duration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
study. Oscillometric blood pressures were obtained between 6:30<br />
PM on Day 1 and noon on Day 2 using Dinamap Vital Signs<br />

ELEVATED INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES AND CORTISOL<br />
ARE RELATED TO PRENATAL RISK FACTORS FOR POOR<br />

Stress can have meaningful consequences for pregnancy, and recent<br />
data indicate a possible role for cytokines and other inflammatory<br />
mediators in these effects. Previous studies, however, have not<br />
linked proinflammatory cytokines during pregnancy to increased<br />
risk <strong>of</strong> poor pregnancy outcomes. The present study began to<br />
develop this connection by examining relationships between<br />
prenatal risk factors, levels <strong>of</strong> IL-6, TNF-a and IL-10, estriol, and<br />
C-reactive protein (CRP), and cortisol. Participants were 58 low<br />
risk, non-smoking pregnant women carrying singleton fetuses.<br />
Salivary cortisol was measured via EIA, serum IL-6, IL-10, and<br />
TNF-a were assessed using ELISA, and serum estriol and C-reactive<br />
protein were measured with EIA at 36 weeks’ gestation. Data<br />
regarding pregnancy course, maternal illnesses, and pregnancy<br />
outcomes were prospectively collected. Significant elevations in<br />
the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-a were evident in women who<br />
reported systemic illnesses (colds, flu, and UTIs) during pregnancy,<br />
and increased incidence <strong>of</strong> bleeding during pregnancy and maternal<br />
anemia were associated with increases in TNF-a and CRP. None <strong>of</strong><br />
the serum markers were significantly related to pregnancy duration,<br />
ponderal index, or Apgar scores. There were significant correlations<br />
between TNF-a and IL-6 and cortisol, a finding that has been<br />
reported in non-pregnant populations, but not in pregnant women.<br />
Together, these data suggest that serum markers <strong>of</strong> inflammation<br />
are related to increased incidence <strong>of</strong> maternal anemia and bleeding<br />
in pregnancy and are associated with incidence <strong>of</strong> maternal illnesses<br />
during pregnancy and elevations in cortisol, suggesting a possible<br />
modulatory role for illness and/or stress-related endocrine activity<br />
in the effects <strong>of</strong> inflammatory mediators on pregnancy outcome.<br />
Additional data collection and analyses are necessary to better<br />
elucidate these relationships and establish their clinical relevance.<br />

Prior studies have suggested that elevated levels <strong>of</strong> maternal<br />
depression and stress during pregnancy may be related to adverse<br />
neonatal health outcomes at birth, yet few studies have prospectively<br />
examined biological mechanisms for this association. The purpose<br />
~ 78 ~<br />
<strong>of</strong> this study was to examine whether prenatal depressive symptoms<br />
(CES-D) and salivary cortisol levels would be associated with several<br />
neonatal health outcomes (i.e., number <strong>of</strong> birth complications,<br />
APGAR scores, and birth weight), after controlling for prenatal<br />
health status (e.g., presence <strong>of</strong> anemia) and number <strong>of</strong> prior<br />
births (mean number <strong>of</strong> children = 1+1). Ninety low-income<br />
women (82% Spanish-speaking; mean age=25+5 years), with no<br />
major medical or substance abuse problems, were assessed during<br />
pregnancy (mean gestational age=16+5 weeks). Adverse prenatal<br />
and neonatal health outcomes were recorded via medical record<br />
review following delivery. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed<br />
that: 1) elevated depressive symptoms during pregnancy and having<br />
fewer prior births were associated with lower infant APGAR scores<br />
(p=.05); and 2) elevated cortisol levels during pregnancy and having<br />
fewer prior births were associated with an increased number <strong>of</strong> birth<br />
complications (p

indicated a significant interaction for SBP and TPR (ps < .05), and<br />
a marginally significant interaction for DBP (p < .10). Follow-up<br />
analyses indicated that among older adults who endorsed fewer<br />
depressive symptoms, expressive writing resulted in increased SBP<br />
and TPR reactivity compared to trivial writing; cardiovascular<br />
reactivity did not differ as a function <strong>of</strong> writing condition for those<br />
who endorsed more depressive symptoms. These findings suggest<br />
that psychological mechanisms are likely operating in tandem with<br />
physiological mechanisms to effect physical health outcomes.<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> studies have investigated the connection between<br />
caffeine and its potentially detrimental effects on cardiovascular<br />
health. The majority <strong>of</strong> such investigations have focused on blood<br />
cholesterol, while other blood markers <strong>of</strong> cardiovascular disease<br />
(CVD) such as fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP) have<br />
been understudied. This study examined the effects <strong>of</strong> caffeine and<br />
psychological stress on a population particularly vulnerable to future<br />
development <strong>of</strong> CVD, those with a confirmed parental history <strong>of</strong><br />
hypertension. Participants were included following an intensive<br />
health screening to confirm normal cholesterol levels and health<br />
status. Questionnaires were sent to parents to confirm a family<br />
history <strong>of</strong> hypertension. Next, 52 men (N=26) and women (N=26)<br />
participated in a 3.5 hour lab session to examine stress reactivity to<br />
caffeine (3.3 mg/kg; N=26) or no caffeine (N=26). Blood pressure<br />
and heart rate were collected, as well as 3 blood samples at baseline,<br />
stress, and recovery for CRP and fibrinogen level assessment.<br />
Women completed their lab session during the luteal phase <strong>of</strong><br />
their menstrual cycle, which was confirmed through progesterone<br />
and estradiol assessment. Findings revealed statistically significant<br />
increases in fibrinogen levels in response to caffeine and stress<br />

Sleep is associated with physical and psychological health and<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> life. Few studies have measured multiple aspects <strong>of</strong> sleep<br />
simultaneously in one investigation. The current study examined<br />
the influence <strong>of</strong> ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES)<br />
on both objective and subjective dimensions <strong>of</strong> sleep in 46 African<br />
Americans and 55 Caucasians (49.5% male), ages 35 to 78.<br />
Two nights <strong>of</strong> in-home polysomnography (PSG), and ten nights<br />
<strong>of</strong> actigraphy and self-report sleep data were collected. African<br />
Americans had shorter sleep duration (ps < .05) and poorer sleep<br />
efficiency (ps < .05) as measured by PSG and actigraphy, and spent<br />
less time in Stage 3-4 sleep (p < .01) compared to Caucasians.<br />
Furthermore, African Americans reported poorer quality <strong>of</strong> sleep<br />
on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI; p < .01) than did<br />
Caucasians. Although men had shorter sleep duration (ps < .01)<br />
and poorer sleep efficiency (ps < .05) as measured by PSG and<br />
actigraphy, and spent less time in Stage 3-4 sleep (p < .05) than<br />
did women, men reported better quality <strong>of</strong> sleep on the PSQI<br />
and in sleep diaries (ps < .05). Relatively few associations between<br />
SES and sleep parameters were observed in African Americans<br />
and Caucasians, taken separately. Exploratory analyses revealed<br />
that neither race nor gender differences in sleep were accounted<br />
for by differences in depression and perceived stress. In sum, race<br />
and gender influence dimensions <strong>of</strong> sleep and these effects are not<br />
accounted for by the measured psychological or socioeconomic<br />
factors. Race and gender differences in sleep characteristics may play<br />
a role in race and gender differences in health.<br />

SUBJECTIVE SOCIAL STATUS (SSS) AS A PREDICTOR OF<br />
CARDIOVASCULAR (CVD) RISK IN LATINAS<br />

SES has commonly been measured using relatively objective indices<br />
based on education, income, and occupation, and has been shown<br />
to strongly influence health status. Research has shown that the<br />
association between health and a person’s perceived social status<br />
may be a better predictor <strong>of</strong> health risks than traditional objective<br />
social position. In the current study, 142 Mexican-American<br />
women (mean age = 47.12 years) completed assessment for SSS<br />
(MacArthur Scale <strong>of</strong> SSS) and physiological risk factors relevant<br />
to CVD. Objective measures <strong>of</strong> SES and SSS as predictors <strong>of</strong><br />
CVD risk factors in ethnic minority populations were examined.<br />
Perceived SSS, in the U.S., was examined as a predictor <strong>of</strong> CVD<br />
risk factors beyond objective SES. Physiological risk factors included<br />
systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), waist<br />
circumference, serum cholesterol, and serum glucose. SSS in the<br />
U.S. was significantly related to social support (p < .001), inversely<br />
related to anxiety (p = .024), and marginally, inversely related to<br />
depression. Perceived social status was also significantly related to<br />
SBP (p < .001), DBP (p = .013), serum glucose (p < .001), and<br />
marginally related to serum cholesterol. Perceived social status was<br />
significantly related to psychosocial risk factors in the direction<br />
expected, although, higher perceived social status was found to<br />
be predictive <strong>of</strong> increased blood pressure. Although research has<br />
suggested that SSS might be a better predictor <strong>of</strong> health outcomes,<br />
this may not be the case for low SES Latinas. Consistent with<br />
previous research, the current study found that SSS was significantly<br />
related to psychosocial risk factors and most physiological risk<br />
factors, however, blood pressure, a key component <strong>of</strong> risk <strong>of</strong><br />
CVD, was found to be in the opposite direction than expected.<br />
While some may believe that SSS is a better predictor <strong>of</strong> health<br />
outcomes than objective measures <strong>of</strong> SES, further research is needed<br />
to look into the utility <strong>of</strong> the SSS measure in low-SES minority<br />
populations.<br />

EthnibusTM - a monthly, nationwide survey <strong>of</strong> the main ethnic<br />
minority communities in England. Interviews were conducted with<br />
875 people by multi-lingual fieldworkers using open and closed<br />
questions.<br />
When asked about causes <strong>of</strong> colorectal cancer, 11% <strong>of</strong> White-<br />
British participants responded ‘don’t know’ compared with 73% <strong>of</strong><br />

Black Caribbeans, 38% <strong>of</strong> Indians and 24% <strong>of</strong> Chinese, suggesting<br />
that White-British respondents may be more knowledgeable.<br />
Similar disparities were found when participants were asked what<br />
things might deter people in their community from having the<br />
test with 94% <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> the non-White groups indicating that<br />
embarrassment would be a barrier compared with only 15% <strong>of</strong><br />
the White-British group. ‘Shame’ was also frequently mentioned<br />
among non-White groups who said they would not be interested in<br />
FS. Nevertheless, overall levels <strong>of</strong> interest in FS were high (≥65%)<br />
across all ethnic groups, with most respondents indicating that<br />
they believed it would provide “peace <strong>of</strong> mind”. While the levels <strong>of</strong><br />
interest are encouraging, we cannot assume that attendance would<br />
be as high or be equivalent across ethnic groups in view <strong>of</strong> the<br />
reported barriers. Should FS screening be introduced, educational<br />
materials should recognise that embarrassment may be a greater<br />
deterrent to participation among non-White groups.<br />

Nashville REACH 2010 is a CDC funded program to reduce<br />
disparities in heart disease and diabetes among African Americans<br />
in North Nashville, Tennessee. Using a screening manual to train<br />
community partners, many community health risk screenings<br />
(blood glucose (BG), blood pressure (BP), cholesterol (CHOL))<br />
were held to: 1) identify individuals with potentially undiagnosed<br />
chronic conditions, 2) find people at high risk for chronic disease,<br />
and 3) identify people with poorly managed risk factors. Screening<br />
partners completed screening forms which were returned to<br />
REACH (n=6,449 from over 75 events) and <strong>of</strong> these 765 (12%)<br />
only answered risk questions and did not receive BG, BP, or CHOL<br />
screening. Of the 2467 with BG screens, 20 possible new cases <strong>of</strong><br />
diabetes (0.9%) were identified while 326 were at risk for diabetes<br />
(14.7%). BP screenings were conducted on 3998 individuals<br />
identifying 531 potential new cases <strong>of</strong> hypertension (21.6%) and<br />
1098 with high normal BP (44.7%). CHOL screenings were done<br />
with 2608 people and there were 705 potential new cases <strong>of</strong> elevated<br />
CHOL (34.4%) and 391 with high-normal CHOL (19.1%).<br />

Of the 246 with previously diagnosed diabetes, 58 were poorly<br />
controlled (23.6%). Of the 1543 with known hypertension, 762<br />
had elevated BP (49.4%). Of the 556 with previously diagnosed<br />
high cholesterol, 308 had values above the target level (55.4%). Of<br />
those screened, 41% had an elevated value on one or more screening<br />
tests, and 76% had an elevated or at-risk value. Binary logistic<br />
regression was used to identify predictors <strong>of</strong> screening positive for<br />
any chronic illness. Significant predictors were age, gender, ethnicity,<br />
and BMI. The REACH 2010 community screening provided an<br />
important service, and was very successful at indentifying people<br />
who need to take steps to protect their health from chronic disease.<br />

The prevalence <strong>of</strong> obesity has reached epidemic proportions with<br />
African American (AA) women being disproportionately affected<br />
and less successful in their weight loss attempts. Social support is<br />
positively associated with weight loss; however, little is known about<br />
the attitudes and behaviors thought to be supportive to a woman<br />
during a weight loss effort. Six focus groups were conducted with<br />
obese AA women to assess attitudes and beliefs regarding weight<br />
loss support. Participants (n=49) were middle-aged (44.4 years;<br />
SD=12.8) women with an average BMI <strong>of</strong> 40.3 (SD=8.3, Range<br />
30.1-66.5) and 12.6 (SD=1.3) years <strong>of</strong> education. Data were<br />
analyzed using standard grounded theory text analysis. Results<br />
revealed that AA women are very interested in receiving support in<br />
their weight loss efforts and open to others approaching them about<br />
their weight as long as they had an established close relationship and<br />
focus on the health impact <strong>of</strong> weight. Important characteristics <strong>of</strong><br />
a supportive person for weight loss include empathy, commitment,<br />
comparable weight status and prior weight loss success. Important<br />
behaviors believed to support weight loss include participating in<br />
physical activities together, providing nutrition education, using<br />
positive reinforcements and avoiding criticism. Results suggest that<br />
AA women are interested in a program that would teach skills to<br />
increase social support for their weight loss efforts.<br />

CULTURAL BREAST CANCER TREATMENT BELIEFS AND<br />
SCREENING BEHAVIORS AMONG ANGLO AND LATINO<br />
WOMEN<br />
Patricia M. Flynn, PhD and Hector Betancourt, PhD<br />
Psychology, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this research was to examine cultural breast cancer<br />
treatment beliefs among Anglo and Latino women and their<br />
relation to reported screening behaviors. Interviews with Anglo and<br />
Latino women were conducted and qualitative data were analyzed<br />
based on Triandis’s (1972) methods for the analysis <strong>of</strong> subjective<br />
culture. Then, items were developed to assess cultural beliefs and<br />
expectations relevant to mastectomy, chemotherapy, and treatment<br />
in general. Participants included 82 women (38 Anglo, 44 Latino)<br />
never diagnosed with breast cancer. T-tests were conducted to<br />
identify ethnic-group differences in cultural beliefs and expectations<br />
regarding treatment, and correlations between cultural beliefs<br />
and reported screening behaviors were also examined. Anglo<br />
women were significantly more likely to hold more favorable views<br />
regarding treatment. For instance Anglo participants reported that<br />
treatment gives women a second chance at life (M = 2.88) and<br />
makes them proud (M = 6.44) compared to Latino women (M =<br />
1.89; t (38) = 2.67, p = .01 and M =4.90; t (38) = 3.68, p = .001).<br />
On the other hand, Latinas held less favorable views about breast<br />
cancer treatment. Latino women felt that treatment makes one<br />
feel like less <strong>of</strong> a woman (M = 3.9) and that one’s husband may<br />
leave as a result (M = 3.48) compared to Anglo women (M = 2.86;<br />
t (38) = 2.16, p = .03 and M = 1.88; t (38) = 3.4, p = .001). The<br />
treatment beliefs most associated with screening behaviors varied<br />
among the Anglo and Latino women. For instance, Anglo women<br />
were more likely to have regular CBEs if they felt that a mastectomy<br />
was scary to go through (r = .44, p = .04) and less likely if they felt<br />
that it would be disfiguring (r = -.44, p = .03). At the same time<br />
Latino women who felt that treatment was the worse thing that<br />
can happen to a woman were more motivated to have regular SBEs<br />
(r = .59, p = .005). Findings are discussed in terms <strong>of</strong> implications<br />
for understanding the role <strong>of</strong> cultural beliefs in health behavior and<br />
interventions aimed at increasing screening among culturally diverse<br />
populations.<br />

Among participants who completed both baseline and 12 month<br />
questionnaires, AA’s reported significant pre-post improvements<br />
in cognitive (t(23)= 2.50, p < .05) and behavioral processes<br />
(t(23)= 5.64, p < .05) and stage <strong>of</strong> change (t(29) = 4.16, p < .05)<br />
from baseline to 12 months. Caucasians also improved on these<br />
constructs, and reported significant improvement in self-efficacy<br />
from baseline to 12 months, t(144) = 4.30, p < .05. Neither group<br />
reported significant changes in decisional balance scores. Results<br />
suggest that the print and Internet based interventions increased<br />
motivational readiness for PA and processes <strong>of</strong> change among both<br />
AA and Caucasian participants, but only increased self-efficacy<br />
among the Caucasian participants. Future studies with larger<br />
numbers <strong>of</strong> AA participants are needed to confirm these findings<br />
and determine what program modifications might be helpful in<br />
assisting this population in becoming more active. Special attention<br />
may need to be paid to promoting self-efficacy among AA’s as this<br />
variable has typically been a strong predictor <strong>of</strong> PA.<br />

Obesity is more prevalent in African- American (AA) adolescents<br />
than their Caucasian (C) counterparts. This secondary analysis <strong>of</strong><br />
data from a double blind randomized clinical trial <strong>of</strong> behavioral and<br />
pharmacological weight loss examined changes in weight loss and<br />
cardiometabolic risk factors in AA and C adolescents. Thirty four<br />
AA and 45 C obese boys and girls were randomized to family-based<br />
behavior therapy plus placebo or sibutramine. Percentage initial<br />
body mass index (% BMI), weight, BMI, fasting glucose, insulin,<br />
HOMA-IR, and lipid levels were measured at baseline and month<br />
six <strong>of</strong> treatment. At baseline, mean age was 14.1 yr and mean<br />
BMI was 37.8 kg/m2. AA teens had lower waist circumferences<br />
(WC), triglycerides (TG), serum glucose and higher highdensity<br />
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Weight loss was<br />
significantly greater in the C drug group than in placebo; weight<br />
loss for AA in the drug group versus those in the placebo group

was not significant, but had a medium effect size. Irrespective <strong>of</strong><br />
treatment group, those losing > 5% <strong>of</strong> initial BMI, had significant<br />
reductions in WC. Caucasians had significant reductions in TG,<br />
HDL-C, glucose, insulin, and HOMA- IR levels; AA responders<br />
had significant reductions in TG, insulin, and HOMA- IR.<br />
Sibutramine impacted reductions in %BMI and weight loss in<br />
both races. Weight loss, whether by behavioral therapy alone or in<br />
combination with pharmacotherapy, produced beneficial changes in<br />
cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents from both racial groups.<br />
The burden <strong>of</strong> obesity should stimulate future research to explore<br />
the efficacy and effectiveness <strong>of</strong> weight loss treatments, including<br />
pharmacotherapy for obese adolescents. Longer term obesity<br />
intervention studies addressing acceptability, safety, and treatment<br />
effect are critical to reducing health disparities<br />

Nashville REACH 2010 is a CDC-funded initiative to reduce<br />
disparities in heart disease and diabetes between African Americans<br />
and Whites in North Nashville, Tennessee. Using weighted random<br />
telephone interviews, we compared the prevalence <strong>of</strong> diabetes,<br />
hypertension, high cholesterol and obesity in African Americans<br />
in North Nashville (ANN) to Whites in Tennessee (WTN) from<br />
2001 to 2005. CDC REACH evaluation data from 4,753 ANN<br />
and BRFSS data from 14,499 WTN were used. The percentage<br />
<strong>of</strong> ANN with diabetes increased between 2001 and 2005 (13.0%<br />
to 18.6%) as did the percentage <strong>of</strong> WTN with diabetes (7.6% to<br />
8.8%). The ANN/WTN disparity increased from 1.71 to 2.11.<br />
Rates <strong>of</strong> hypertension among ANN increased from 47.9% in 2001<br />
to 52.7% in 2005 and among WTN increased from 28.6% in 2001<br />
to 29.5% in 2005. The ANN/WTN disparity increased from 1.67<br />
to 1.79. Rates <strong>of</strong> high cholesterol among ANN did not significantly<br />
change between 2001 and 2005 (33.0% to 33.3%) but did increase<br />
(25.1% to 27.9%) among WTN. The ANN/WTN disparity in high<br />
cholesterol decreased from 1.31 to 1.19. In 2001, 66.5% <strong>of</strong> ANN<br />
were considered overweight, 30.7% were obese, and 6.6% were<br />
extremely obese and in 2005, 66.8% were overweight, 34.6% were<br />
obese, and 6.5% were extremely obese. In 2001, 54.6% <strong>of</strong> WTN<br />
were overweight, 21.0% were obese, and 1.1% were extremely<br />
obese, while in 2005, 58.3% were overweight, 24.1% were obese,<br />
and 3.1% were extremely obese. The ANN/WTN disparities<br />
between 2001 and 2005 declined slightly for overweight (1.22 to<br />
1.15), remained relatively unchanged for obesity (1.46 to 1.44), and<br />
decreased for extreme obesity (6.00 to 2.10). While disparities in<br />
obesity decreased, disparities in diabetes and hypertension increased<br />
from 2001 to 2005, which could be a result <strong>of</strong> the aggressive<br />
community screenings sponsored by the REACH 2010 project<br />
in North Nashville. Much more effort is needed to end health<br />
disparities.<br />

Objective: The prevalence <strong>of</strong> type 2 diabetes is 2-3 times higher in<br />
Latinos compared to Caucasians, and 40% <strong>of</strong> Latinos with diabetes<br />
are depressed. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the present study was to determine<br />
the rate <strong>of</strong> depression in Latinos at risk for developing diabetes and<br />
to examine the association between depressive symptoms, BMI, and<br />
lifestyle factors.<br />
Subjects: Latinos (N=162) were assessed as part <strong>of</strong> a diabetes<br />
prevention trial. Inclusion required a ≥30% risk <strong>of</strong> developing<br />
diabetes in 7.5 years, via the Stern formula.<br />
Methods: Demographic, dietary, and depression data were collected<br />
at baseline. Self-reported energy intake was collected using three 24-<br />
hour diet recalls. Diet quality was calculated using the Alternative<br />
Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), a measure <strong>of</strong> the degree to which<br />
a diet is associated with cardiovascular disease risk. Depressive<br />
symptomatology was measured via the Center for Epidemiological<br />
Studies Depression (CES-D) questionnaire.<br />
Statistical Analysis: Linear regression tested the association between<br />
depression scores and lifestyle factors. Dependent variables were<br />
BMI, dietary intake, energy expenditure, and AHEI score. The<br />
independent variable was depression and covariates included age,<br />
gender, educational status, and family history <strong>of</strong> diabetes.<br />
Results: The population was largely female (77%), mean age was<br />
51 years (SD=11), 62% had less than high school education, and<br />
56% were unemployed. Mean BMI was 35 kg/m2 (SD=5.8) and<br />
82% were obese. Average CES-D score was 16.1 (SD= 11.4) and<br />
48.5% had CES-D <strong>of</strong> 16 or greater. Average AHEI score was<br />
32.6 (SD=8.0) which falls in the poor range. Higher CES-D was<br />
associated with less reported energy intake (p

Interventions to increase organ and tissue donation intentions<br />
and family consent for deceased organ donation inevitably must<br />
counter negative myths about organ donation and transplantation.<br />
For example, a commonly endorsed myth is physicians will not<br />
try as hard to save a life in an emergency if the patient is an organ/<br />
tissue donor. Concerns about the impact <strong>of</strong> negative myths are<br />
further amplified among African Americans for two reasons: 1)<br />
they are disproportionately likely to be on the transplant waiting<br />
list; 2) they are less likely to donate a loved one’s organs or declare<br />
intent to be organ and tissue donors. Measurement <strong>of</strong> the myths<br />
<strong>of</strong> organ donation may provide a foundation for interventions to<br />
counter these myths. Using factor analytic and structural modeling<br />
procedures, the internal and external validity <strong>of</strong> the organ donation<br />
Myths scale was evaluated in the context <strong>of</strong> several Transtheoretical<br />
Model constructs. Participants were African American junior (67%)<br />
and senior undergraduate students attending four Historically Black<br />
Colleges and Universities in North Carolina (N=344; 70% female;<br />
M=24.6 years; 15% married). Participants’ readiness for intent<br />
to be an organ/tissue donor (i.e., declare intent, document and<br />
inform family) was 47% precontemplation, 16% contemplation,<br />
14% preparation and 23% action/maintenance. Exploratory PCA<br />
conducted on a randomly split sample produced a one factor 10-<br />
item scale (48.9% variance). Confirmatory analysis supported<br />
this structure (CFI=.88,RMSEA=.12,α=.87). Myths scores were<br />
significantly affected by sex (males>females) and were related to<br />

predictive <strong>of</strong> BMI for non-White women. Results suggest that BIR<br />
may play a more important role in weight problems among White<br />
women, while familial influences may be stronger contributors to<br />
BMI among non-White women. Future research should seek to<br />
determine whether weight programs tailored to address such group<br />
differences might enhance efficacy.<br />

Physical activity is associated with the prevention <strong>of</strong> many chronic<br />
conditions and some common cancers. However, physical activity<br />
recommendations can challenge skin cancer prevention in highintensity<br />
ultraviolet radiation climates, where outdoor activities are<br />
predominant. Sporting environments are one <strong>of</strong> the many settings<br />
in which sun exposure takes place yet very few studies have focused<br />
on sun exposure and sun protective behaviors in this context. This<br />
study explored individual-level and socio-environmental factors<br />
that influence sun protection among sport participants and in<br />
sporting club environments in Queensland, Australia. The study<br />
focused on men and women aged 18-30 years, participating in field<br />
hockey, soccer, tennis and surf sports. This was a multi-method<br />
study involving self-administered questionnaires, qualitative<br />
interviews and environmental audits. Sport participants reported<br />
good knowledge and awareness about the importance <strong>of</strong> sun<br />
protection to reduce skin cancer risk; however, the adoption <strong>of</strong> sun<br />
protective behaviors (e.g., wearing a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses and<br />
appropriate clothing) was moderate. Across all sports 69% reported<br />
being sunburnt during their last sporting season. Participants<br />
ranked physical activity and fitness as more important than sun<br />
protection. Results highlighted some practical and performancerelated<br />
constraints on sun protection options that are inherent to<br />
particular sporting environments, for example, sunscreen making<br />
grips slippery for hockey. Sporting clubs require assistance in<br />
encouraging their members to take care <strong>of</strong> their skin when they<br />
participate in outdoor sport. Shifting sun protection attitudes away<br />
from an excessive focus on individual responsibility is important<br />
in the process <strong>of</strong> integrating values and norms that prioritize sun<br />
protection in sport. Relevant policies and resource infrastructure<br />
need to be put in place to facilitate the development <strong>of</strong> physical,<br />
social and organizational environments in sport settings that are<br />
more conducive to sun protection during physical activity.<br />

EFFECT OF HOME SMOKING BANS ON ETS EXPOSURE<br />
AMONG MEXICAN-DESCENT ADULTS AND CHILDREN<br />
LIVING IN THE U.S. AND MEXICO<br />

This study explores the effect <strong>of</strong> home smoking bans on ETS<br />
exposure among Mexican-descent adults and children in the U.S.<br />
and Mexico (MX), after controlling for smoking status <strong>of</strong> residents<br />
and other potential confounders.<br />
From 2003-2004, three cross-sectional, population-based tobacco<br />
surveys were conducted with adult residents in San Diego<br />
(California, USA; N = 1,103), Tijuana (TJ, Baja California, Mexico;<br />
N = 398), and Guadalajara (GD, Jalisco, Mexico; N = 400); based<br />
on their location, the cities represented three levels <strong>of</strong> exposure to<br />
the California Tobacco Control <strong>Program</strong> (from proximal to distant).<br />
Two logistic regression models, one for adults and one for children<br />
(age < 18 yrs.) were fitted with ETS exposure as the dependent<br />
variable and city <strong>of</strong> residence and home smoking ban (complete<br />
ban vs. no/partial ban) as the predictors <strong>of</strong> interest. Smoking status<br />
<strong>of</strong> residents and other potential confounders were included as<br />
covariates.<br />
There was significantly less ETS exposure among both SD adults<br />
and children than among their counterparts in either MX city (p <<br />
0.001). Similarly, SD had the highest rate <strong>of</strong> complete smoking bans<br />
in place compared to the other cities (p < 0.001). After adjustment<br />
by covariates, lacking a complete home smoking ban was associated<br />
with adults being 5.0 times more likely to be exposed to daily ETS<br />
than those with a complete ban (95% CI: 3.1-8.3). Children were<br />
8.3 times more likely to be exposed to daily ETS if they lived in a<br />
home without a complete smoking ban (95% CI: 4.0-16.7).<br />
Although there were absolute differences in the prevalence <strong>of</strong> ETS<br />
exposure and home smoking bans by city <strong>of</strong> residence, the impact<br />
<strong>of</strong> home smoking ban on ETS exposure did not differ by city. For<br />
each city, having a complete smoking ban was associated with a<br />
significant decrease in ETS exposure, especially among children.<br />
Home smoking bans should be promoted as they may represent an<br />
effective means to decrease ETS exposure and related morbidity.<br />

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder affecting<br />
approximately 1 in 500 African Americans. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the<br />
present study was to analyze daily patterns <strong>of</strong> sleep and pain in<br />
children with SCD and to investigate the influence <strong>of</strong> stress and<br />
pain medication use on the pain-sleep relationship. Children with<br />
SCD were asked to complete daily diaries assessing sleep, SCD<br />
pain, stress, and pain medication use for up to 8 weeks. Twenty<br />
children with SCD aged 8 to 12 years completed a total <strong>of</strong> 712<br />
diaries out <strong>of</strong> a possible 1120 diaries, representing a completion<br />
rate <strong>of</strong> 64%. On average, children completed 36 diary days. Data<br />
was analyzed using multilevel models. High daily SCD pain was<br />
related to poor sleep quality at night above and beyond the effects<br />
<strong>of</strong> pain medication use (β = -3.72, p < .01), and poor sleep quality<br />
was related to high SCD pain the following day (β = -6.54, p <<br />
.01). Findings were consistent with the majority <strong>of</strong> research that<br />
shows that stress is related to shorter sleep duration (β = -0.13, p =<br />
.04). Also, results indicated that pain medication use has a buffering<br />
effect on the impact <strong>of</strong> SCD pain on sleep that night and that the<br />
magnitude <strong>of</strong> the effect is different given the type <strong>of</strong> medication.<br />
Specifically, taking an analgesic weakened the relationship between<br />
high SCD pain and poor sleep quality that night. However, taking<br />
an analgesic or a narcotic was related to poor sleep quality that night<br />
regardless <strong>of</strong> pain severity (β = -6.96, p < .01 and β = -6.02, p =<br />
.03, respectively). Discussion will focus on the importance <strong>of</strong> sleep<br />
in the functioning <strong>of</strong> children who experience illness-related pain<br />
and the clinical implications <strong>of</strong> the findings for helping patients<br />
and their families and possibly improving existing behavioral pain<br />
interventions.<br />

MOTHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF ADOLESCENTS’ EFFICACY<br />
FOR MANAGING DIABETES: ASSOCIATIONS WITH<br />
MATERNAL DEPRESSED AFFECT<br />

Parental involvement in the diabetes management tasks <strong>of</strong> their<br />
children has been associated with better adherence to prescribed<br />
diabetes regimens. Adolescence is a particularly difficult time for<br />
Type 1 diabetes management, as parents must maintain involvement<br />
while granting their child appropriate autonomy (Palmer et al.,<br />
~ 88 ~<br />
2004). Mothers who are depressed display prolonged involvement<br />
in their child’s diabetes management, but this involvement may be<br />
ineffective (Wiebe et al., 2004). Cognitive distortions characterized<br />
by depressed affect may contribute to mothers’ negative perceptions<br />
<strong>of</strong> adolescents’ illness management capabilities. Potentially, mothers<br />
whose perception <strong>of</strong> their adolescents’ capabilities is influenced by<br />
depressed cognitions may be less able to make informed decisions<br />
about transferring responsibility for diabetes management to their<br />
adolescent. The current study focused on maternal psychosocial<br />
predictors <strong>of</strong> mothers’ perceptions <strong>of</strong> adolescents’ efficacy in diabetes<br />
management tasks. Participants included 78 adolescents diagnosed<br />
with Type 1 diabetes for at least 1 year (97% Caucasian; child age<br />
M = 12.9; 52.6% male) and their mothers. Participants individually<br />
completed questionnaires regarding diabetes adherence, depressed<br />
affect, trait anxiety, mood, and perceptions <strong>of</strong> child’s efficacy for<br />
diabetes management. Results indicated that mothers’ reports <strong>of</strong><br />
adolescents’ efficacy were associated with mother’s trait anxiety and<br />
negative mood (Rs < -.29, ps< .02), but not with child’s HBA1c<br />
levels. Furthermore, after controlling for adolescent age, mother’s<br />
depression predicted reports <strong>of</strong> child’s self-efficacy independently<br />
<strong>of</strong> both mother and child reports <strong>of</strong> adherence (β = -.25, p = .02).<br />
Mothers’ depression may bias perception <strong>of</strong> her adolescent’s efficacy<br />
for diabetes management beyond both adherence reports and<br />
observable indices <strong>of</strong> adherence (e.g., HBA1c levels). The influence<br />
<strong>of</strong> maternal depression may be important to understand when<br />
designing diabetes management interventions for adolescents and<br />
their families.<br />

group. The lowest values were found in LOW (21.9 ± 3.0) and the<br />
highest values in HIGH (23.0 ± 3.4) groups. BMI was 22.8 ± 2.5 in<br />
LMOD and 23.0 ± 2.8 in the HMOD groups. This study provides<br />
preliminary evidence that an inverse relationship exists between EM<br />
use and physical activity among college students. Furthermore, there<br />
is a significant difference between the ADSC <strong>of</strong> low and high users<br />
<strong>of</strong> EM. While TV and computers have enhanced information and<br />
communication, excessive use <strong>of</strong> EM may be promoting a sedentary<br />
lifestyle and perhaps contributing to the increasing prevalence <strong>of</strong><br />
obesity.<br />

SOCIAL INFLUENCES ON TANNING SALON USE<br />

Artificial tanning is now a 5 billion dollar business in the United<br />
States (Kuczynski, 2004), and it is particularly popular among<br />
young adults (Rhainds et al., 1999). It is important to identify<br />
predictors <strong>of</strong> artificial tanning because skin cancer has been linked<br />
to UV exposure during early life (American Cancer <strong>Society</strong>, 2006).<br />
This study is the first to examine a variety <strong>of</strong> social influences<br />
on tanning salon use. Based on previous research that associated<br />
tanning behavior with subjective norms, we hypothesized that<br />
participants would be more likely to use tanning salons if their<br />
socially significant others (i.e., romantic partners, immediate<br />
family members, and friends) engaged in this behavior. We also<br />
hypothesized that social reinforcement <strong>of</strong> a tanned appearance<br />
would be positively associated with tanning salon use.<br />
The sample consisted <strong>of</strong> 421 undergraduates (67.5% female). Most<br />
participants were 18 to 21 years <strong>of</strong> age (92.9%) and European<br />
American (75.8%), Latino (10.5%), or Asian American (6.7%).<br />
Participants anonymously completed questionnaires on one<br />
occasion.<br />
Multiple regression analyses with participant gender as a control<br />
variable revealed that the tanning salon use <strong>of</strong> friends and romantic<br />
partners predicted participants’ tanning salon use during the past<br />
year (ps < .05), whereas the tanning salon use <strong>of</strong> immediate family<br />
members did not. Additionally, across relational categories, social<br />
reinforcement <strong>of</strong> a tanned appearance was positively associated<br />
with tanning salon use during the past year (ps < .001). This study<br />
suggests that it may be important to include socially significant<br />
others in interventions for reducing the use <strong>of</strong> tanning salons among<br />
college students.<br />

MASCULINITY AND CANCER: EMOTIONAL APPROACH IN<br />
MEN WITH CANCER<br />
Michael A. Hoyt, PhD(c)<br />
Psychology, Arizona State University, Seattle, WA.<br />
Background. Male cancer patients who espouse traditional notions<br />
<strong>of</strong> masculinity may have significant psychosocial distress as a result<br />
<strong>of</strong> their cancer experience. The goal <strong>of</strong> this research is to test a<br />
theoretical model in which espousal <strong>of</strong> masculine ideology and<br />
conflict associated with internalization <strong>of</strong> gender role are associated<br />
with health outcomes in male cancer patients. This model proposes<br />
that this relationship is mediated by emotional approach coping<br />
processes including emotional expression and emotional processing.<br />
Method. Participants included 183 male cancer patients who<br />
ranged in age from 31 to 94 years (M=67.51, SD=10.74). All<br />
participants were being treated at an outpatient oncology clinic at<br />
a veteran’s hospital in a major metropolitan area. Participants were<br />
not excluded by cancer site, stage, or treatment modality. Patients<br />
completed self-report assessments. Also, a medical record review was<br />
conducted to collect cancer-specific information.<br />
Results. Path analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized model<br />
as well as subsequent respecifications. The final, respecified model<br />
was found to have a good fit to the data [χ2(26)=37.66, p=.06;<br />
CFI=.98; RMSEA=.05, (90% CI=.00-.08); SRMSR=.06]. In this<br />
model, masculinity ideology was positively associated with gender<br />
role conflict, which was shown to have a positive relationship<br />
with emotional expression and no relationship with emotional<br />
processing. Emotional expression was related to positive general and<br />
cancer-specific outcomes, yet emotional processing was related with<br />
increased distress and poorer adjustment. In addition, masculinity<br />
ideology was found to have indirect effects on outcomes. Also,<br />
gender role conflict was associated with poorer adjustment and<br />
increased distress.<br />
Discussion. Contrary to original hypotheses emotional expression<br />
and emotional processing were differently related to indicators<br />
<strong>of</strong> general distress and cancer-specific outcomes. The conducted<br />
path analysis provides support for a general theoretical model<br />
that is worthy <strong>of</strong> future research and lends insight into targets for<br />
intervention.<br />

Emerging evidence suggests that the etiology <strong>of</strong> the metabolic<br />
syndrome (MS), a cluster <strong>of</strong> risk factors for coronary heart disease<br />
(CHD) and Type 2 diabetes, may be related to psychological<br />
characteristics. Despite substantial evidence for a role <strong>of</strong> depression<br />
in the pathogenesis <strong>of</strong> CHD and Type 2 diabetes, only one study has<br />
examined the relationship between clinical depression and the MS,<br />
and no study has used a longitudinal design. Our objective was to<br />
investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations <strong>of</strong> a lifetime<br />
history <strong>of</strong> major depression with the MS in a sample <strong>of</strong> middleaged<br />
women. Participants consisted <strong>of</strong> women (1/3 Black) from the<br />
Pittsburgh cohort <strong>of</strong> the Mental Health Study ancillary investigation<br />
<strong>of</strong> The Study <strong>of</strong> Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN), a study<br />
<strong>of</strong> the menopausal transition. Logistic regression, controlling for<br />
baseline age and race, was used to evaluate the association between<br />
lifetime history <strong>of</strong> depression, measured at baseline by the SCID,<br />
and the MS (ATP-III criteria) across baseline and three bi-annual<br />
visits. Results showed that depression was associated with 1.62 greater<br />
odds (CI = 1.01, 2.59; p < .05) <strong>of</strong> having the MS during the study<br />
(123 with MS out <strong>of</strong> a total <strong>of</strong> 324 with no missing data). Similarly,<br />
Cox modeling, controlling for baseline age and race, revealed a trend<br />
for lifetime history <strong>of</strong> depression predicting 1.66 times greater odds<br />
(CI = 0.87, 3.15; p = .12) <strong>of</strong> developing the MS during the followup<br />
period (38 with MS out <strong>of</strong> a total <strong>of</strong> 336 women free <strong>of</strong> MS at<br />
baseline). This study is the first to demonstrate that a lifetime history<br />
<strong>of</strong> major depression is associated with increased odds <strong>of</strong> having the<br />
MS in women undergoing the menopausal transition, and it the first<br />
to indicate that a lifetime history <strong>of</strong> depression may contribute to<br />
the etiology <strong>of</strong> the metabolic syndrome in middle-age. SWAN was<br />
funded by the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute <strong>of</strong><br />

PREVALENCE AND PSYCHOSOCIAL PARAMETERS OF<br />
SMOKING IN CYPRIOT MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL<br />
STUDENTS<br />
Maria Karekla, PhD and Anastasia Symeou, MD<br />
Psychology, Intercollege, Nicosia, Cyprus.<br />
Smoking has been internationally recognized as an epidemic<br />
contributing to major health problems (WHO, 2004). Research has<br />
shown that smoking contributes to most <strong>of</strong> the preventable deaths,<br />
a number that reaches approximately 1 million deaths per year<br />
(ENSP, 2004). Although Cyprus is considered among the developed<br />
countries worldwide with a high prevalence <strong>of</strong> smoking (estimates<br />
<strong>of</strong> approximately 25-35% <strong>of</strong> the population, ENSP, 2004), not<br />
much has been done for the systematic scientific study <strong>of</strong> this<br />
problem. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence <strong>of</strong><br />
smoking and the psychosocial parameters associated with initiation<br />
and continuation <strong>of</strong> smoking (e.g. knowledge, beliefs, attitudes,<br />
exposure to tobacco products and smoke, degree <strong>of</strong> nicotine<br />
dependence etc.) among Cypriot middle and high school students.<br />
Participants were 1628 (788 females; Mage = 16.53) middle and<br />
high school students. Thirty-two percent <strong>of</strong> participants reported<br />
that they have tried smoking whereas another 4.2% stated that<br />
they would like to try. As expected there is a progressive increase<br />
in those who smoke with age. Only 7% <strong>of</strong> those in the first grade<br />
<strong>of</strong> middle school smoke and the number increases to 34% by the<br />
third grade <strong>of</strong> middle school, whereas by the third grade <strong>of</strong> highschool<br />
66% <strong>of</strong> students report that they smoke. Interestingly, the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> smokers is similar across the sexes with females smoking<br />
at similar rates to males. These percentages are alarming, especially<br />
when coupled with the limited knowledge that Cypriot students<br />
have about the effects <strong>of</strong> smoking. Results will be further discussed<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> the beliefs and attitudes students have about smoking.<br />
Also psychosocial parameters that lead to student’s initiating and<br />
continuing to smoke are explored<br />

THE EFFECTS OF AN OSTEOPOROSIS EXERCISE<br />
PROGRAM ON EXECUTIVE FUNCTION AND QUALITY OF<br />

Joseph Nimon, BS anticipated and Cay Anderson-Hanley, PhD<br />

Prior research has demonstrated the beneficial role that aerobic<br />
exercise can have on the well-being and cognitive function <strong>of</strong><br />
older adults (Emery & Blumenthal, 1991; Etnier et al., 1997; Hall<br />
et al., 2001; Heyn et al., 2004). In this study we are attempting<br />
to replicate and extend work from a small randomized study in<br />
which osteoporosis exercisers were found to improve significantly<br />
on a measure <strong>of</strong> executive function as well as mood (Kazmerski &<br />
Anderson-Hanley, 2005). Here we have hypothesized that a nonaerobic<br />
osteoporosis exercise program can have a positive effect on<br />
executive function in older adults across a broader array <strong>of</strong> measures<br />
than in our original pilot, which utilized only a screening tool. The<br />
present study consisted <strong>of</strong> assessments <strong>of</strong> Executive function (Digit<br />

testing and results suggest some slight improvements and slight<br />
declines in performance on executive function, completing followup<br />
testing with participants in-progress should help clarify any<br />
statistically significant trends. Interestingly, when compared with<br />
normative data on quality <strong>of</strong> life variables, the participant exhibited<br />
improvement significantly above the norm. Additional data to be<br />
collected in the coming weeks should further clarify the validity <strong>of</strong><br />
these findings.<br />

Do seniors who consistently participate in team sports such as<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tball and volleyball differ from those who regularly walk in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> their psychosocial characteristics? The Surgeon General’s Report<br />
(1996) suggested that positive health benefits can be achieved<br />
with moderate levels <strong>of</strong> physical activity and recommended that<br />
every US adult should participate in 30 minutes (continuous or<br />
intermittent) <strong>of</strong> moderate level physical activity most days per week<br />
(Pate et al., 1995). However, few studies have investigated team<br />
sports participation in an older adult population. The purpose <strong>of</strong><br />
this study was to determine, if beyond physical health benefits,<br />
team activities could impact self-esteem, quality <strong>of</strong> life, and/or social<br />
support differently than walking. Twenty team athletes (s<strong>of</strong>tball<br />
and volleyball) and 19 walkers were compared using a MANOVA<br />
using age (range 60 - 75 years) as a covariate and gender and type<br />
<strong>of</strong> activity (team sport versus walker) as independent factors with<br />
social support, physical self-esteem, and life satisfaction as the<br />

determine their effect on the number <strong>of</strong> treatment efforts selected<br />
to preserve life. Our findings indicated that an age bias exists with<br />
child patients, with older children receiving more treatments.<br />
We also discovered that the bias exists in both disease courses but<br />
that the total number <strong>of</strong> treatments selected for all age groups<br />
were generally higher in the acute condition than the chronic<br />
condition. When general trends <strong>of</strong> treatment preferences can be<br />
found in various situations, physicians can take these preferences<br />
into account when discussing treatment options with parents.<br />
Understanding what impact these variables have on end-<strong>of</strong>-life<br />
decisions may help physicians tailor communication with parents<br />
to maximize feelings <strong>of</strong> control and satisfaction with their decisions.<br />
Further research relating to interactions <strong>of</strong> parent variables (i.e.,<br />
demographics, mood, spirituality, etc.) will also aid parent-physician<br />
communication.<br />

REPORTED QUALITY OF LIFE IN ASTHMA: DOES IT HAVE<br />
ECOLOGICAL VALIDITY?<br />
Robin S. Everhart, MS, Joshua M. Smyth, PhD, Alecia M. Santuzzi,<br />
PhD and Barbara H. Fiese, PhD<br />
Psychology, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY.<br />
Asthma quality <strong>of</strong> life (QOL) is an important and widely used clinical<br />
measure in the management <strong>of</strong> patients with asthma. Assessment<br />
<strong>of</strong> QOL is typically collected via a retrospective self-report measure.<br />
It is currently unclear if reported differences in QOL are reflected<br />
in day-to-day life in patients’ natural environments. Establishing<br />
the ecological validity <strong>of</strong> a QOL measure in asthma patients is <strong>of</strong><br />
particular importance as individuals with asthma experience day-today<br />
symptom fluctuation and must manage their disease accordingly.<br />
This study evaluated the ecological validity <strong>of</strong> a self-report QOL<br />
measure by testing associations with daily experiences <strong>of</strong> patients<br />
with asthma. Specifically, we hypothesized that discrepancies in<br />
QOL would predict differences in daily asthma symptoms, mood,<br />
and activity restrictions. In 91 patients with asthma (mean age=42.3,<br />
72% female, 85% Caucasian), QOL was measured at baseline<br />
using the standardized version <strong>of</strong> the Asthma Quality <strong>of</strong> Life<br />
Questionnaire. Participants subsequently carried a palm pilot for<br />
one week, completing 5 momentary assessments each day. At each<br />
response, data were collected on current mood, asthma symptoms,<br />
activities, and peak expiratory flow rate. Quality <strong>of</strong> life scores<br />
were analyzed in multilevel random-intercept models to predict<br />
the subsequent EMA outcomes. Higher reported QOL predicted<br />
better ambulatory peak flow ratings (p < .03), fewer coughing and<br />
wheezing symptoms (p < .01), fewer activity restrictions (p < .01),<br />
and less negative affect (p < .05) in daily life. Findings suggest that<br />
self-reported QOL is an ecologically valid measure, supporting its use<br />
in the clinical management <strong>of</strong> asthma. Specifically, reported asthma<br />
QOL prospectively predicts naturalistic peak expiratory flow, asthma<br />
symptoms, mood, and activity restrictions experienced by asthma<br />
patients in their daily lives.<br />

Breast cancer (BRCA), the most prevalent malignant disease in<br />
women, <strong>of</strong>ten causes sleep disturbance and pain. This study aims<br />
to examine the relationship between sleep disturbance and pain in<br />
post-adjuvant treatment BRCA patients, as this relationship is not<br />
well understood. Data, including demographics, types <strong>of</strong> cancer<br />
treatments, self-report <strong>of</strong> both pain and sleep, and actigraphy was<br />
collected from a sub-sample <strong>of</strong> 23 women who were part <strong>of</strong> a larger<br />
cognitive behavioral stress management study, and who were at<br />
least 2 months post-adjuvant treatment for stage I-IIIA BRCA.<br />
Actigraphy is a well-validated method for assessing sleep parameters<br />
via wrist movements recorded during periods <strong>of</strong> sleep and<br />
wakefulness. Compared to normative data, the sleep <strong>of</strong> women with<br />
BRCA was disturbed, as indicated via self-report (M = 402.23, SD =<br />
61.64) and actigraph (M = 407.82, SD = 52.30). Self-reported pain<br />
was significantly associated with poorer self-reported sleep quality<br />
(r = -.58, p = .004), lower self-reported sleep efficiency (r = -.43, p<br />
= .04), and higher scores on the Global Sleep Quality Index <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (r = -.52, p = .01). Although selfreported<br />
sleep and sleep assessed via actigraphy were significantly<br />
associated for sleep onset latency (r = .612, p = .005) and sleep<br />
duration (r = .617, p = .005), there were no significant associations<br />
between self-reported pain and actigraph-assessed sleep. One <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first studies to objectively measure sleep in a BRCA population,<br />
this study shows that in post-adjuvant treatment BRCA patients,<br />
sleep was significantly disturbed and self-report indices <strong>of</strong> sleep<br />
disturbances were significantly related to self-reported pain. Higher<br />
levels <strong>of</strong> pain were associated with poorer overall sleep quality. This<br />
study highlights the importance <strong>of</strong> comprehensive sleep evaluations<br />
when treating patients with BRCA.<br />

hypothesized that the severity <strong>of</strong> the stressful event may lead to<br />
cognitive and emotional processing, and that processing in turn<br />
leads to growth - in short, that depth <strong>of</strong> processing would mediate<br />
the relation between stressor severity and growth. Communitydwelling<br />
women (n = 163) wrote essays about a stressful<br />
event occurring in the previous three years and completed the<br />
Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Essays were rated for<br />
depth <strong>of</strong> cognitive and emotional processing. Event severity was<br />
rated using the PERI Life Events Scale. Using multiple regression,<br />
we found that stressor severity predicted growth (p = .04), as well as<br />
depth <strong>of</strong> processing (p < .01). In turn, depth <strong>of</strong> processing predicted<br />
growth (p < .01). As predicted, the effect <strong>of</strong> stressor severity on<br />
growth was mediated by depth <strong>of</strong> processing. This finding sheds<br />
light on the mechanisms by which stress-related growth occurs. This<br />
has theoretical implications in terms <strong>of</strong> our understanding <strong>of</strong> coping<br />
with stressors and stress-related growth. In addition, the applications<br />
<strong>of</strong> this finding to clinical interventions in will be discussed.<br />

WOMEN’S SEXUAL MOTIVATION AND SATISFACTION<br />
AFTER CANCER<br />
Sara I. McClelland, MA and Tracey A. Revenson, PhD<br />
Psychology, The Graduate Center, CUNY, New York, NY.<br />
Resuming sexual activity after diagnosis or treatment for cancer is a<br />
complex phenomenon that is not well understood. In this analysis,<br />
we use a model <strong>of</strong> female sexual dysfunction developed by Basson<br />
(2000) in order to focus on two aspects <strong>of</strong> sexual activity that are<br />
important for cancer survivors: motivations for sexual activity and<br />
sexual satisfaction. The assessment <strong>of</strong> these aspects <strong>of</strong> sexuality is<br />
more complex than simply assessing the frequency <strong>of</strong> intercourse or<br />
ability to achieve orgasm.<br />
In this study, we systematically reviewed 60 measures that have been<br />
developed for use within medical, psychological, and clinical settings<br />
to assess female sexual adaptation, activity, and function. The goal<br />
<strong>of</strong> our analysis was to examine how researchers have assessed the<br />
concepts <strong>of</strong> motivation and sexual satisfaction for women in general,<br />
and with female cancer survivors in particular. The measures were<br />
coded systematically at the item-level (1,367 items in total) by two<br />
raters; inter-rater reliabilities were good (> .85).<br />
The findings revealed three major themes: (1) only 5% (63) <strong>of</strong><br />
the items in scales were written expressly to assess the impact <strong>of</strong><br />
illness on a woman’s sexuality; (2) the small percentage <strong>of</strong> items<br />
that did assess the impact <strong>of</strong> illness did not include assessments <strong>of</strong><br />
sexual satisfaction, despite the fact that satisfaction was a critical<br />
component <strong>of</strong> sexuality within the full data set <strong>of</strong> 1,367 items; and<br />
(3) motivation for sexual activity was most <strong>of</strong>ten assessed through<br />
items that measured a woman’s sexual desire, although this concept<br />
is still-ill defined and only one possible motivating factor for sexual<br />
activity.<br />
With these results, we argue that the concepts <strong>of</strong> sexual motivation<br />
and sexual satisfaction need to be more fully theorized and<br />
operationalized for research within cancer survivor populations<br />
and need to be gender-specific. Without this work, clinicians and<br />
researchers will continue to assess and advise women about sexual<br />

HEALTH RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MEN WITH<br />
LOCALIZED PROSTATE CANCER UNDERGOING PRIMARY<br />
ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY OR SURGERY<br />

Purpose:<br />
Androgen deprivation is used commonly to treat prostate cancer<br />
either as primary, neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. However, little<br />
is known about how primary ADT (PADT) affects health-related<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> life (HRQOL). We evaluated changes in HRQOL in<br />
men undergoing PADT, compared with men undergoing radical<br />
prostatectomy (RP) as primary therapy.<br />
Methods:<br />
We collected HRQOL data using the SF-36 v. 1.0 and UCLA<br />
Prostate Cancer Index. Data for 1,788 men enrolled in CaPSURE,<br />
a national PCa registry, were analyzed to examine HRQOL changes<br />
from pre-treatment to 24 months post-baseline. The groups (PADT<br />
vs. RP) were compared on baseline sociodemographic and clinical<br />
characteristics using the chi-square test and t-test. Changes in<br />
HRQOL over time were examined using a mixed model approach,<br />
adjusting for clinical risk, race, education, age, time <strong>of</strong> HRQOL<br />
assessment and interaction between treatment type and time.<br />
Results:<br />
PADT patients presented with significantly higher Gleason scores,<br />
higher PSA values, and more advanced clinical stage than men<br />
undergoing RP (all p < .01). PADT patients were significantly older,<br />
less educated, less likely to have private insurance and more likely<br />
to be non-white (all p < .01). At 24 months, the largest declines for<br />
PADT patients were in Sexual Bother (mean change: 22.5 points)<br />
and Function (18.8), and Role-Physical (12.9). For RP men, the<br />
largest declines at 24 months were in Sexual Function (26.6) and<br />
Bother (23.0), and Urinary Function (15.7). There were significant<br />
group by time differences in each HRQOL domain except Bodily<br />
Pain.<br />
Conclusion:<br />
Men receiving PADT and RP monotherapy show very different<br />
post-treatment HRQOL changes. PADT patients experience<br />
more decrements in general HRQOL and fewer in disease-specific<br />
HRQOL than RP patients. Both groups experience substantial<br />
decrements in Sexual Function and Bother at 24 months. PADT<br />
men report more gradual declines in both areas, but are less likely to<br />
see recovery <strong>of</strong> Sexual Function at 24 months than RP men.<br />

QUALITY OF LIFE DIFFERENCES AMONG MALE AND<br />
FEMALE VASCULITIS PATIENTS AND THEIR SPOUSES:<br />
FINDINGS FROM THE PAIRS STUDY<br />

Background: Although the medical and basic sciences have made<br />
significant advances in the understanding <strong>of</strong> anti-neutrophil<br />
cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) vasculitis, parallel advances in the<br />
psychosocial understanding <strong>of</strong> vasculitis have been sparse. In order<br />
to address this gap in the literature, the Partners Adjusting to Illness<br />
with Relationship Support (PAIRS) Study examined psychosocial<br />
factors, including quality <strong>of</strong> life, among individuals’ with ANCAvasculitis<br />
and their spouses. Quality <strong>of</strong> life issues affect both patients<br />
with chronic illness and their spouses.<br />
Methods: Inclusion criteria for the PAIRS Study are married<br />
patient, diagnosis <strong>of</strong> ANCA-vasculitis <strong>of</strong> at least six months, spouse<br />
agrees to participate, and ability to read and write English. Ninetyfour<br />
couples, most living in the Southeastern United States (US),<br />
enrolled in the study. Patients and spouses completed a 45-minute<br />
questionnaire, which included the SF-36 as a quality <strong>of</strong> life measure.<br />
SF-36 scores also were compared to US norms.<br />
Results: There were a total <strong>of</strong> 53 male and 44 female patients.<br />
Paired sample t-tests showed no significant differences between<br />
male and female patients on the SF-36. However, when patients<br />
were compared with spouses <strong>of</strong> the same gender (e.g. male patients<br />
compared with male spouses), significant differences emerged.<br />
Male patients scored significantly lower than male spouses on all<br />
eight (general health, pain, social functioning, emotional wellbeing,<br />
fatigue, emotional and physical role limitations, and physical<br />
functioning) <strong>of</strong> the SF-36 subscales, whereas female patients scored<br />
significantly lower than female spouses on only 4 <strong>of</strong> the 8 subscales<br />
(general health, fatigue, physical role limitations, and physical<br />
functioning). Additionally, patients scored lower than national<br />
SF-36 norms, whereas spouses’ scored similarly to national norms.<br />
These findings suggest that vasculitis patients have special healthrelated<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> life issues.<br />

THE EFFECT THE SYSTEMATIC RE-SOCIALIZATION<br />
SKILLS (S3) TRAINING PROGRAM HAS UPON ALCOHOL,<br />
TOBACCO, AND MARIJUANA CONSUMPTION<br />
Mitchell C. Reid, MS, Robert Werthwein, MS and Carla Williams,<br />

Psychology, Howard University, Washington, DC.<br />
The Systematic Re-Socialization Skills (S3) smoking cessation<br />
program is designed to reduce smoking by identifying situations<br />
that cause individuals to smoke and provide participants with<br />
~ 94 ~<br />
cognitive skills and emotional coping methods to help them quit<br />
smoking. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this intervention was to investigate<br />
whether the S3 method was effective in increasing smoking,<br />
alcohol, and marijuana cessation. We hypothesized that reduction<br />
<strong>of</strong> smoking would be associated with a decrease in alcohol and<br />
marijuana use. Young adults between the ages <strong>of</strong> 18-30 (m = 21.86)<br />
who smoked at least one pack <strong>of</strong> cigarettes per week were recruited<br />
from the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Baseline data did not<br />
indicate a significant correlation between the number <strong>of</strong> cigarettes<br />
smoked per day and frequency <strong>of</strong> smoking marijuana (r = -.41,<br />
p>..851). However, there was a significant relationship between<br />
number <strong>of</strong> cigarettes smoked per week and the frequency <strong>of</strong> alcohol<br />
use (r = .486, p < .05). Preliminary outcomes data indicate that the<br />
S3 method was successful in reducing the number <strong>of</strong> cigarettes the<br />
participants smoked by nearly half (47%). There were no significant<br />
differences in pre and post-intervention levels <strong>of</strong> marijuana<br />
consumption (t = 1.219, p = .262). However, a negative correlation<br />
was observed between the daily intake <strong>of</strong> alcoholic beverages and<br />
the total number <strong>of</strong> intervention sessions held (r = -.555 p = .262).<br />
In addition, the results indicate that the average amount <strong>of</strong> alcohol<br />
consumed at any one time was reduce from 7.5 drinks per week<br />
at baseline to 4.8 drinks after the eight week intervention (t =<br />
2.767, p= .04). Consequently, our results confirm that participants’<br />
smoking behavior was highly correlated with drinking behavior, but<br />
change in use <strong>of</strong> tobacco products was not associated with change in<br />
marijuana consumption. The S3 method has the potential to be an<br />
effective method in reducing tobacco consumption and associated<br />
alcohol use.<br />

RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND<br />
QUALITY OF LIFE IN A MULTIETHNIC SAMPLE OF OLDER<br />
ADULTS. THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT, SELF-<br />
EFFICACY, AND MENTAL HEALTH STATUS<br />

Physical activity has been consistently associated with quality <strong>of</strong><br />
life (QOL) in a variety <strong>of</strong> populations, including older adults.<br />
Recently, researchers have suggested that the influence <strong>of</strong> physical<br />
activity on QOL may be indirect and potentially mediated through<br />
other factors such as self-efficacy or mental health. There has been<br />
a further suggestion that social support is a possible confounder <strong>of</strong><br />
the relationship between physical activity and QOL. Accordingly,<br />
we explored the relationship between physical activity and QOL<br />
through mediating paths <strong>of</strong> self-efficacy and mental health status,<br />
while controlling for perceived social support. A multi-ethnic<br />
sample <strong>of</strong> older adults residing in Hawaii (N = 196, Mage = 74,<br />
80% female, 54% Japanese) completed measures <strong>of</strong> physical activity,<br />
self-efficacy, mental health, social support, and QOL. The expected<br />
relationships were tested using structural equation modeling. The<br />
structural model provided a good fit to the data (χ2 = 63.19, df

perceived social support. Physical activity had a significant effect on<br />
self-efficacy (β = .56), which in turn, impacted mental health status<br />
(β = .34), which had a significant effect on QOL (β = .20). The<br />
total model accounted for 46% <strong>of</strong> the variance in QOL. This study<br />
supports the notion that the effect <strong>of</strong> physical activity on QOL<br />
is indirect, and emphasis should be placed on designing physical<br />
activity programs that build self-efficacy and improve mental health<br />
in effort to maximize improvements in QOL.<br />

THE EFFECTS OF A SUPPORT GROUP ON QUALITY OF<br />
LIFE IN WOMEN WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE<br />
Kristin Kuntz, PhD, Charles F. Emery, PhD and Jamie Jackson, MA<br />
The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.<br />
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is marked by symptoms <strong>of</strong><br />
fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance, and edema which <strong>of</strong>ten lead<br />
to limitations in daily functioning. Research has demonstrated<br />
a relationship between low perceived social support and poor<br />
outcomes in women with CHF. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this study was to<br />
evaluate a social support intervention among women with heart<br />
failure. It was hypothesized that women with CHF who participated<br />
in a support group would report enhanced quality <strong>of</strong> life (QOL)<br />
compared to usual care patients. Thirty-four women with CHF<br />
completed the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire<br />
(MLHFQ) and the RAND 36-Item Health Survey. They were then<br />
randomly assigned to either a support group condition (N=15) or<br />
a usual care condition (N=19). Participants in the support group<br />
met for one hour each week over the course <strong>of</strong> eight consecutive<br />
weeks during which they discussed topics related to living with<br />
CHF. All participants again completed the questionnaires 8 and 16<br />
weeks after the group began. Usual care subjects did not receive an<br />
intervention during the 16-week study but were referred to a local<br />
support group at the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the study. Primary outcomes at<br />
each time <strong>of</strong> measurement included general health-related QOL<br />
and heart failure-specific emotional and physical QOL. Data were<br />
analyzed with repeated measures ANOVAs with time as a within<br />
subject factor and condition as a between subject factor. Results<br />
indicated no significant effect <strong>of</strong> the intervention for general<br />
health-related QOL, but there was a trend for enhanced emotional<br />
functioning in the support group at 16 weeks, as reflected by<br />
improvement on the MLHFQ (p = .06). This is the first randomized<br />
controlled study <strong>of</strong> the effect <strong>of</strong> social support on QOL among<br />
women with CHF. Although there appeared to be only limited<br />
effects <strong>of</strong> the intervention on QOL, the results suggest that this may<br />
be a promising area for further research.<br />

Social support has been shown to be a predictor <strong>of</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> life<br />
(QOL) across various chronic disease populations. This study<br />
examined the relationship between social support and QOL<br />
prospectively among ethnically diverse men treated for localized<br />
Prostate Cancer (PC). Participants had an average age <strong>of</strong> 65 years<br />
(SD=6.73; N=249), 14 years (SD=3.33) <strong>of</strong> formal education, and<br />
had an average income <strong>of</strong> $50,960 (SD=$50,164). All received<br />
either radical prostatectomy (n=127) or radiation treatment<br />
(n=122) for localized PC. The ethnic composition was 41.5%<br />
non-Hispanic White, 16.9% non-Hispanic Black, and 41.5%<br />
Hispanic. The Enriched Social Support Inventory (ESSI) was<br />
assessed at baseline. A composite score <strong>of</strong> the physical, functional,<br />
and emotional subscales <strong>of</strong> the Functional Assessment <strong>of</strong> Cancer<br />
Therapy-General (FACT-G), was assessed at baseline and 15 month<br />
follow-up (reliability for combined scales: Chronbach’s α=.70).<br />
After controlling for baseline composite QOL (excluding the social<br />
well-being subscale), medical variables, and socio-economic status;<br />
greater social support significantly predicted greater QOL at a 15-<br />
month follow-up [β=.221, t=3.346 (p 20%) and anxiety (> 20%). However, after matching the African-<br />
American and Caucasian men on age, education, and stage <strong>of</strong><br />
disease, African-American men displayed significantly lower levels <strong>of</strong><br />
depression than Caucasian men (p < 0.05).<br />
Conclusions: The lower rate <strong>of</strong> depression in African-American men<br />
as compared to Caucasian men is surprising considering that on<br />
average African-American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer<br />
at a younger age with later stage disease than Caucasian men. These<br />
results underscore the importance <strong>of</strong> research that is specifically<br />
designed to elucidate the type and incidence <strong>of</strong> psychological<br />
distress in African-American men with prostate cancer.<br />

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SICK ROLE AND<br />
POST-TRANSPLANT FUNCTIONAL STATUS IN KIDNEY<br />

The primary purpose <strong>of</strong> kidney transplantation is physical and social<br />
rehabilitation for individuals with end stage renal disease(ESRD).<br />
Although transplantation has demonstrated improved quality<br />
<strong>of</strong> life over dialysis, the dependence on dialysis necessary for<br />
survival may create a sick role identity that reinforces dependent<br />
existence and relegation <strong>of</strong> social responsibility. Guided by the<br />
theoretical framework <strong>of</strong> Talcott Parsons, this cross-sectional<br />
study was an initial attempt to examine dimensions <strong>of</strong> the sick<br />
role and post-transplant functional status in primarily low-income<br />
kidney transplant recipients. The convenience sample consisted<br />
<strong>of</strong> 97 transplant recipients (mean age 45.8 years; SD=12.8;<br />
47% female; 68% black. Self report data were collected during a<br />
post-transplant clinic visit and included the Response to Illness<br />
Questionnaire(RIQ)used to measure sick role perceptions, the<br />
Functional Status Questionnaire(FSQ), used to measure functional<br />
status, and an investigator developed instrument used to measure<br />
socio-demographic data and health-related co-morbidities. Factor<br />
analysis <strong>of</strong> the RIQ identified seven distinct factors which accounted<br />
for 62.2% <strong>of</strong> total score variance. Multiple regression analysis<br />
indicated that RIQ factors (coping with illness, resentment <strong>of</strong> illness<br />
and educational level) were the most highly significant predictors<br />
(p/=high school) who have the strongest<br />
coping skills and the least resentment toward illness seem best able<br />
to gain strength and reject the sick role as a permanent identity.<br />
Collective results point to the need for additional research to inform<br />
and guide individually tailored preventive interventions designed to<br />
optimize functional ability in vulnerable transplant recipients.

The growing population <strong>of</strong> gynecologic cancer survivors experience<br />
difficulties in sexual functioning, <strong>of</strong>ten long after treatment has<br />
ended. This is frequently associated with lowered quality <strong>of</strong> life<br />
(QoL), increased traumatic stress and more depressive symptoms<br />
shortly after diagnosis; however, little study has been conducted<br />
in long-term survivors. This study examines the impact <strong>of</strong> sexual<br />
functioning difficulties on QoL, traumatic stress, and depressive<br />
symptoms in gynecologic cancer survivors (N=275) assessed 2<br />
- 10 years post diagnosis. Disease sites included cervix (n=52),<br />
endometrium (n=135), ovary (n=72), and peritoneum/vulva/vagina<br />
(n=16). METHOD: A cross-sectional design was used. Hierarchical<br />
multiple regressions were used with outcome measures as MOS<br />
SF-12 for QoL, CES-D for depressive symptoms, and the Impact<br />
<strong>of</strong> Events Scale for traumatic stress. Control variables were entered<br />
in the following order: sociodemographics, disease/treatment,<br />
fatigue & physical functioning, and stressful life events. To enhance<br />
reliability, a composite measure <strong>of</strong> sexual morbidity, including items<br />
such as kissing and sexual intercourse frequency, avoidance <strong>of</strong> sexual<br />
activity, sexual desire and vaginal symptoms, was used in the final<br />
step. RESULTS: Stress, depressive symptoms, and QoL scores were<br />
equivalent across disease site; therefore, the groups were collapsed<br />
for further analyses. Sexual functioning was associated with mental<br />
health QoL (β = .16, p < .01), CES-D (β = -.17, p < .01), and the<br />
IES (β = -.11, p = .09) but not physical health QoL (β = -.01, p =<br />
.88). Other significant associations with outcome measures include<br />
fatigue, stressful life events and age. CONCLUSIONS: Difficulties<br />
in sexual functioning continue to be associated with poorer<br />
psychological outcomes, even years after diagnosis. Interventions<br />
designed to enhance sexual functioning in survivors may also impact<br />
mental health.<br />

COPING STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH CONGESTIVE<br />
HEART FAILURE PREDICT MEANING IN LIFE AND<br />
HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE<br />
Crystal Park, PhD<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Connecticut, Storrs, CT.<br />
Maintaining a sense <strong>of</strong> life meaning is important for those living<br />
with chronic illness, and is highly related to mental and physical<br />
~ 97 ~<br />
well-being. Recent research demonstrated that positive coping<br />
during cancer may lead to maintenance <strong>of</strong>, or even increases<br />
in, meaning over time, facilitating longterm adjustment (Jim,<br />
Richardson, Golden-Kreutz, & Andersen, 2006). The present<br />
study examined whether meaning in life is predicted by particular<br />
coping strategies used to deal with congestive heart failure (CHF),<br />
a progressive and ultimately fatal disease, as well as how meaning<br />
in life is related to health-related quality <strong>of</strong> life (HRQOL). 155<br />
CHF patients (95% men, 5% women, mean age <strong>of</strong> 65) from the<br />
Cincinnati Veteran’s Administration Medical Center Cardiac Unit<br />
were assessed in terms <strong>of</strong> meaning in life (Personal Meaning Pr<strong>of</strong>ile;<br />
Wong, 1997), coping (Brief COPE; Carver, 1997), and HRQOL<br />
(SF-36) at two time points, six months apart. Results indicated<br />
that, at the bivariate level, Time 1 positive reappraisal coping,<br />
religious coping, and acceptance were related to Time 2 meaning in<br />
life, relationships that remained when controlling for initial levels<br />
<strong>of</strong> life meaning. A simultaneous regression analysis indicated that<br />
only religious coping was a significant predictor <strong>of</strong> increases in life<br />
meaning (standardized beta = .15, p < .05). Further, life meaning<br />
was significantly related to both mental and physical components<br />
<strong>of</strong> HRQOL (ps < .05). These results add to the current research<br />
on life meaning, indicating that in a sample <strong>of</strong> individuals living<br />
with chronic illness, religious coping led to increased life meaning<br />
over time, and that life meaning is strongly related to health-related<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> life. These findings suggest that coping interventions<br />
may be a useful avenue for interventions focused on quality <strong>of</strong> life,<br />
and that meaning in life may be an important variable for future<br />
research and intervention.<br />

For many years, the medical community has attempted to<br />
form relationships with members <strong>of</strong> the African American faith<br />
community towards the goal <strong>of</strong> increasing representation <strong>of</strong> African<br />
Americans in clinical trials and reducing health disparities. We<br />
recently conducted a small study using qualitative methods to<br />
explore the relationship <strong>of</strong> the African American faith community<br />
to the medical community.<br />
Guided by a facilitator, four African American clergy and three<br />
African American healthcare providers explored obstacles to effective<br />
collaboration. Clergy unanimously acknowledged the importance<br />
<strong>of</strong> research while most experienced significant difficulty defining<br />
it and distinguishing research from other related activities. Clergy<br />
also consistently reported a significant distrust <strong>of</strong> physicians<br />
and the belief that clergy were too <strong>of</strong>ten purposely excluded and<br />
marginalized from the healthcare process.<br />
Healthcare providers consistently endorsed the importance <strong>of</strong>

“spiritual health” and the belief that “there is a place in medicine for<br />
discussions <strong>of</strong> spirituality and religion.” Healthcare providers also<br />
reported frustration with and distrust <strong>of</strong> many leaders in the faith<br />
community because they <strong>of</strong>ten challenged rather than supported<br />
medical directives in the absence <strong>of</strong> sufficient knowledge to do so.<br />
These results highlight the need to understand obstacles to effective<br />
collaboration between clergy and healthcare providers towards the<br />
formation <strong>of</strong> functional partnerships and the reduction <strong>of</strong> health<br />
disparities.<br />

Spirituality has recently emerged as an area <strong>of</strong> interest in behavioral<br />
medicine. Spiritual coping has been found to be an important<br />
resource for those with life threatening illnesses. We adapted an<br />
existing measure <strong>of</strong> spirituality (Children’s Spirituality Coping<br />
Scale; CSCS; Boeving, 2000) for use with siblings <strong>of</strong> children with<br />
cancer, examined its structure and psychometric properties, and its<br />
relationship to adjustment.<br />
Eighty 8-17 year old (M=12.9, SD=2.8) siblings <strong>of</strong> children with<br />
cancer participated. Nearly half (48%) were female and 86% were<br />
Caucasian. Families were 4-38 months post-diagnosis (M= 16.8;<br />
SD= 7.3). Diagnoses included Leukemia (32%), Lymphoma<br />
(17.5%), Solid Tumors (36.3 %), and Brain Tumors (13.8%).<br />
Participants completed the CSCS, the Child PTSD Symptom Scale<br />
and the Revised Manifest Anxiety Scale.<br />
Factor analysis <strong>of</strong> the CSCS data revealed a two-factor solution<br />
accounting for 56% <strong>of</strong> the variance, replicating the structure <strong>of</strong> the<br />
original measure. The first 9-item factor tapped religious coping;<br />
the second 13-item factor assessed existential coping. Internal<br />
consistency for both subscales was excellent (α = .95; .89).<br />
To determine if spirituality was associated with adjustment,<br />
correlations were calculated between the spirituality coping subscales<br />
and anxiety and posttraumatic stress symptom (PTSS) scores.<br />
Religious coping was significantly (r=.28, p=.012) and existential<br />
coping was marginally related (r=.20, p=.07) to anxiety. Both<br />
subscales were significantly correlated with PTSS (rs>.25, ps

Researchers have documented that caregivers <strong>of</strong> veterans with PTSD<br />
experience high levels <strong>of</strong> caregiver burden and psychopathology,<br />
but underutilize behavioral health services. Caregivers identify<br />
travel and scheduling as primary barriers to treatment participation.<br />
Evidencing the ongoing cycle <strong>of</strong> translating research about<br />
caregivers into practice, an intervention was empirically derived<br />
from preceding research. The implementation and evaluation <strong>of</strong><br />
the intervention is the continuation <strong>of</strong> the cycle, moving from<br />
science to impact and back to science again. The current pilot study<br />
investigated the feasibility and efficacy <strong>of</strong> a “minimal therapist<br />
contact” intervention (i.e., a home-study workbook utilizing<br />
only phone and mail contacts) focused on changing maladaptive<br />
cognitive appraisal patterns with the goal <strong>of</strong> reducing caregiver<br />
burden. Phone interviews were conducted with 31 female caregivers<br />
<strong>of</strong> veterans with PTSD for screening/baseline assessment, including<br />
demographics, cognitive appraisal items, the Brief Symptom<br />
Inventory-18, and the Burden Interview. Participants who<br />
demonstrated threat-appraisal coping were <strong>of</strong>fered the workbook<br />
(n = 15), supplemented by weekly phone calls to monitor progress<br />
and address difficulties understanding the workbook. Of the 15<br />
participants enrolled in the intervention, a relatively high percentage<br />
(53%) completed the program compared with previous completion<br />
rates cited in the literature (approx.15-28%). Paired samples t-<br />
tests revealed statistically significant differences between the preand<br />
post-assessments on the Burden Interview, t = 2.86, p < .05.<br />
These findings are interpreted as preliminary evidence supporting<br />
the feasibility and efficacy <strong>of</strong> a non-traditional intervention for<br />
caregivers <strong>of</strong> veterans with PTSD, facilitating the translation from<br />
science to impact.<br />

An outcome <strong>of</strong> pediatric obesity is the increased rate <strong>of</strong> hypertension<br />
among young African American men. Successful dietary counseling<br />
~ 100 ~<br />
strategies must focus on the specific meal patterns <strong>of</strong> African<br />
American youth and identify viable healthful eating alternatives. The<br />
development <strong>of</strong> a novel dietary assessment and behavior change tool<br />
called the Meal Pattern Timeline (MPT) is based on an in-depth<br />
investigation <strong>of</strong> the eating patterns <strong>of</strong> young African Americans<br />
men (ages 17-20, n= 28) and teens (ages 13-17, n=7) and included<br />
participants with essential hypertension and those at high and low<br />
risk for its development. During in-depth interviews, participants<br />
described when and what they ate and the factors influencing<br />
meal timing and food choices. From these narratives, meal pattern<br />
timelines were constructed indicating the timing, location, and food<br />
sources. Regardless <strong>of</strong> hypertensive status, four primary meals were<br />
identified breakfast, lunch, a late afternoon meal, and dinner. Not<br />
surprisingly, few ate meals with their families and meals eaten away<br />
from home were French fries, pizza, and regular s<strong>of</strong>t drinks. The<br />
timeline construction made the influence <strong>of</strong> family dynamics, foods<br />
available at school, and the impact <strong>of</strong> employment and sports on<br />
food choices evident. Based on this formative research, the proposed<br />
assessment tool combines a semi-structured interview guide with<br />
the construction <strong>of</strong> a time line. The participant and the interviewer<br />
create a visual representation <strong>of</strong> when, where, and how foods are<br />
selected and consumed. The MPT captures eating habits within<br />
the context <strong>of</strong> daily activities providing a framework in which the<br />
participant and the interviewer can observe his food choices and<br />
reflect on the factors which influence these patterns. Thus, the stage<br />
is set for considering realistic ways that dietary patterns can be<br />
altered.<br />

Objective: The Latino population is the largest racial/ethnic group<br />
in the United States with twice the prevalence <strong>of</strong> type 2 diabetes as<br />
Caucasians. The Lawrence Latino Diabetes Prevention Project, an<br />
NIDDK-funded randomized controlled trial, aims to reduce the risk<br />
<strong>of</strong> diabetes in a lower socioeconomic and educational status Latino<br />
population. The methodology including recruitment, intervention,<br />
and measures are presented.<br />
Subject: Latinos (N=400) with a > 30% probability <strong>of</strong> being<br />
diagnosed with diabetes in the next 7.5 years per the Stern<br />
predictive equation will be recruited. Recruitment will be completed<br />
in May <strong>2007</strong>. The project is conducted in Lawrence, Massachusetts,<br />
a primarily Latino community and the state’s poorest city.<br />
Methods: Individuals at elevated risk for diabetes (based on<br />
the Stern predictive equation) are identified, screened for study<br />
participation, and randomized to either a usual care or intervention<br />
condition. The intervention is a modified group-based Diabetes<br />
Prevention <strong>Program</strong> (DPP) protocol tailored to the Latino culture

and low-literacy. The intervention is conducted in Spanish.<br />
Measures include demographics, Stern equation components (age,<br />
gender, ethnicity, fasting glucose, systolic blood pressure, HDLcholesterol,<br />
BMI, and family history), glycosylated hemoglobin,<br />
diet, physical activity, depression, social support, quality <strong>of</strong> life, and<br />
cost. Weight is measured at baseline, 6-months and one-year; and<br />
all others assessed at baseline and one-year. Survey measures were<br />
adapted for oral administration in Spanish.<br />
Results: Study products include: 1) a tested model <strong>of</strong> an effective<br />
intervention program to assist at-risk Latino individuals to<br />
make lifestyle changes and reduce diabetes risk, packaged in an<br />
implementation manual; and 2) an assessment <strong>of</strong> the intervention<br />
cost.<br />
Applications/Conclusions: A collaborative effort <strong>of</strong> academic and<br />
community organizations has translated the DPP protocol into a<br />
“real world” setting.<br />

Most cigarette smokers attempt to quit smoking on their own.<br />
There is a need to develop and refine technology to assist tobacco<br />
users to quit using empirically supported self-help treatments. This<br />
study presents data from a study that examined the feasibility <strong>of</strong><br />
implementing a Scheduled Gradual Reduction (SGR) smoking<br />
cessation program on cellular handsets, using JAVA-based cellular<br />
telephones, SMS text messaging, and HTTP data transfer to a central<br />
server.<br />
Method: A SGR program was adapted from earlier work and<br />
implemented on JAVA-enabled cellular handsets. The program uses<br />
a 7-day baseline <strong>of</strong> cigarette recording to determine baseline smoking<br />
behavior, and then institutes the SGR program that prompts the<br />
user to smoke at increasing intervals. The program also used a secure<br />
HTTP data transfer system to upload data to a central server to<br />
monitor program usage. Thirty five tobacco users pilot tested the<br />
system in a single group, open-label study. Subjects were enrolled,<br />
provided with a JAVA-enabled cellular phone, instructed to use the<br />
program to quit smoking, and returned for follow-up at 8 weeks.<br />
Outcome variables included number <strong>of</strong> days interacting with the<br />
program, 7-day abstinence and smoking behavior, and qualitative<br />
ratings <strong>of</strong> the program. The sample was 53% male, 54% White, 43 ±<br />
11 years <strong>of</strong> age, and smoked 22 ± 11 cigarettes per day (CPD).<br />
Results: Mean daily interaction <strong>of</strong> the program was 30 ± 22 days.<br />
Sixteen <strong>of</strong> 35 subjects reported a 24-hour quit, and 6.3% reported 7-<br />
day abstinence (biochemically verified) at eight weeks. Mean smoking<br />
rates were reduced by 50% to 11 ± 8 CPD at follow up, P < .001.<br />
Qualitative reports from subjects showed mixed usability ratings,<br />
with most reporting the program was easy to use, but that it reduced<br />
tobacco use too rapidly.<br />
Conclusions: Data from this study indicate that cellular handsets are<br />
a feasible means <strong>of</strong> delivering inexpensive but empirically supported<br />
self-help smoking cessation treatments.<br />

Previous research has shown that social anxiety can be a barrier<br />
to help-seeking and the utilization <strong>of</strong> in-person treatment services<br />
(Goodwin and Fitzgibbon, 2002). The present study examined<br />
whether social anxiety moderates the effect <strong>of</strong> e-coach support on<br />
weight loss in a 12-week weight loss e-coaching program. Forty<br />
participants (87.5% female, 65.0% white) attended an in-person<br />
baseline assessment in which weight was measured. Social anxiety<br />
was measured with the Brief Fear <strong>of</strong> Negative Evaluation Scale.<br />
Participants were randomized to an e-coach support or no e-coach<br />
support condition. All participants received weekly weight loss lessons<br />
and feedback graphs via e-mail. Participants in the e-coach support<br />
condition also received weekly e-mails providing individualized<br />
assistance in reaching weight loss goals. At the end <strong>of</strong> the intervention,<br />
weight was measured in an in-person assessment. Participants with<br />
high fear <strong>of</strong> negative evaluation (FNE) reported less weight loss<br />
support from family members and friends than participants with<br />
low FNE (p < .05). This finding suggests that individuals with social<br />
anxiety may have difficulty obtaining and/or receiving weight loss<br />
support. A hierarchical regression found an interaction between<br />
FNE and e-coach support when predicting weight loss (p < .05).<br />
For participants in the e-coach support conditions, FNE was related<br />
to greater weight loss (r = -.46, p < .05). This suggests that e-coach<br />
supportive interventions may by especially helpful for those high in<br />
social anxiety who may not access or who may not respond well to<br />
conventional health promotion interventions. In contrast, FNE was<br />
unrelated to weight loss for participants in the no e-coach support<br />
condition. These findings suggest that individuals with social anxiety<br />
may be in greater need <strong>of</strong> weight loss support and respond favorably<br />
to e-coach support provided over the internet.<br />

generating items reflecting current technology in addition to<br />
items from previous learning styles inventories. A sample <strong>of</strong> 202<br />

measuring three basic channels: Auditory, Print, and Internet. The<br />
Coefficient Alpha for the three scales was: Auditory = .768, Print,<br />

support for the psychometric structure and construct validity <strong>of</strong><br />
the survey. In addition, this provides an important foundation<br />
to guide the matching <strong>of</strong> intervention programs to the preferred<br />
communication channel <strong>of</strong> the user.<br />

Recently, there has been a growing interest in health literacy, defined<br />
as the ability <strong>of</strong> individuals to obtain, process, and understand<br />
basic health information. However, limited research has been done<br />
to evaluate the match between written breast cancer materials<br />
and the ability <strong>of</strong> women to read them. The Patient / Provider /<br />
System Model guided this exploratory pilot study that assessed the<br />
readability <strong>of</strong> two breast cancer pamphlets found at the study site<br />
and the women’s ability to comprehend the content. Data were<br />
collected using the breast cancer test <strong>of</strong> functional health literacy<br />
(BC-TOFHLA) and a demographic questionnaire.<br />
A non-random sample <strong>of</strong> African American women (N = 34,<br />
mean age = 31 years, mean education = 13 years), was recruited<br />
during a visit to their primary care provider. The mean score on<br />
the BC -TOFHLA was 13 out <strong>of</strong> 40 points. Literacy level <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pamphlets was assessed at the 10th grade level using the SMOG<br />
readability formula. These findings suggest that the reading level <strong>of</strong><br />
the pamphlets may be too high which may influence the women’s<br />
ability to understand the information.<br />
Despite the ongoing reliance on the written word for patient<br />
education, health literacy remains an underexamined aspect <strong>of</strong><br />
breast cancer control efforts. Intervention at the organizational level<br />
is needed to identify more sustainable ways to target materials to<br />
specific populations.<br />

Background. Prostate cancer is the second most common type <strong>of</strong><br />
cancer in men in the US. As many as 73% <strong>of</strong> men diagnosed with<br />
prostate cancer seek information from sources other than physicians.<br />
However, few studies have examined information-seeking and its<br />
relation to health behaviors. Given that the 5-year survival rate for<br />
early-stage prostate cancer is as high as 99%, many men may seek<br />
information about behavioral strategies to enhance their health.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> this study was to develop a better understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
information-seeking behaviors <strong>of</strong> prostate cancer patients and the<br />
relation <strong>of</strong> these behaviors to diet and exercise.<br />
Method. Secondary data analysis was conducted using a clinical<br />
database that included 38 prostate cancer patients. Dietary fat was<br />
measured through a self-report measure estimating <strong>of</strong> the percent<br />
<strong>of</strong> calories from fat consumed in the past month. Moderate and<br />
vigorous exercise stages <strong>of</strong> change were assessed using measures<br />
based on the Transtheoretical Model <strong>of</strong> Behavior Change.<br />
Information-seeking behaviors were assessed using items extracted<br />
from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS).<br />
Results. Many (66%) patients sought information about their<br />
cancer. The most common places to seek information were from the<br />
internet (45%), followed by health care providers (42%), brochures<br />
(37%), family (26%), and friends (26%). The majority (79%) were<br />
satisfied with the information they received. Some engaged in health<br />
behaviors; 26% reported maintaining a low-fat diet, 35% engaged<br />
in moderate-intensity exercise, and 15% engaged in vigorousintensity<br />
exercise. There were no statistically significant relationships<br />
found between information-seeking behaviors, diet, and exercise.<br />
Conclusions. The study provided useful descriptive information<br />
about information-seeking and health behaviors among prostate<br />
cancer patients. However, the sample size may have limited the<br />
ability to find significant associations between these variables.<br />
Suggestions for future research are also discussed.<br />

required for thorough investigation <strong>of</strong> moderators and mediators <strong>of</strong><br />
outcome in a recent randomized clinical trial comparing Dialectical<br />
Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Supportive Group Therapy (SGT)<br />
for Binge Eating Disorder (BED). 101 men and women meeting<br />
DSM-IV criteria for BED were randomly assigned to 20 2-hour<br />
sessions <strong>of</strong> DBT (n=50) or SGT (n=51) in a group format. The<br />
first methodological step is the a priori identification <strong>of</strong> putative<br />
moderators and mediators. Correlations between treatment<br />
condition and putative moderators and mediators are compared<br />
against statistical criteria to determine which variables remain<br />
eligible for further investigation (moderators are not correlated with<br />
treatment while mediators are). Analyses to identify independent,<br />
proxy, or overlapping variables are next. Fourth, data are centered.<br />
Fifth, putative moderators are analyzed. When a significant<br />
moderator is identified, the sample is split and t-tests are conducted<br />
to uncover underlying group differences. Next, putative mediators<br />
are analyzed within the moderator-split sample, partial or complete<br />
mediation is noted, and group differences within significant<br />
mediators are investigated. Two treatment moderators were<br />
identified: avoidant personality disorder (APD) and a combined<br />
variable (“dietover”) representing age <strong>of</strong> initial overweight status<br />
and first diet. No mediators were identified within the APD<br />
split. Mediators within the dietover split included: 1) number <strong>of</strong><br />
objective binge episodes (OBE) at week 3, 2) OBE at week 4, and<br />
3) self-satisfaction at week 3. Sequential order <strong>of</strong> analytic strategies<br />
for investigating moderators and mediators within an RCT,<br />
term definitions, statistical models, suggestions for centering and<br />
sample splitting, and theoretical implications <strong>of</strong> finding significant<br />
moderators and mediators are presented in detail.<br />

There is growing interest within health psychology in the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> cognitive tasks to measure automatic or “implicit” cognitive<br />
processes. In the Expectancy Accessibility (EA) task, participants<br />
make speeded evaluations about outcome expectancies. Two<br />
individuals may endorse the same outcome expectancy (e.g.,<br />
Exercise makes me…..RELAXED), but they may differ in the<br />
time taken to endorse the outcomes. Response times may contain<br />
information about the accessibility <strong>of</strong> cognitions that may not<br />
be captured using self-report (“explicit”) measures. We examined<br />
the association between exercise behavior and implicit/explicit<br />
cognitions. To be classified an Exerciser (E) (n = 55), participants<br />
had to report engaging in vigorous physical activity, lasting at least<br />
20 minutes, on 3 or more days a week. Sedentary participants<br />
(S) (n = 35) had to report engaging in no vigorous exercise. Selfreported<br />
exercise status was validated using activity counts from an<br />
Actigraph. At the laboratory session, participants were randomly<br />
assigned to complete either a sub-maximal exercise test, or to<br />
rest. Participants completed the EA task and a 20-item self-report<br />
measure <strong>of</strong> outcome expectancies both pre- and post- the exercise<br />
~ 104 ~<br />
test/rest. Positive and negative outcome expectancies were assessed.<br />
On the explicit measure, E ratings were significantly higher than<br />
S ratings on the positive outcomes and significantly lower on<br />
the negative outcomes (ps < .01). On the EA task, E endorsed<br />
significantly more positive outcomes than S (92% vs. 80% on the<br />
pre- assessment), and significantly fewer negative outcomes (16% vs.<br />
39%). E endorsed positive outcomes <strong>of</strong> exercise significantly more<br />
rapidly than S (1228 ms vs. 1548 ms), but E and S did not differ in<br />
endorsement times for a control (non-exercise) activity. The effect<br />
<strong>of</strong> exercise status on implicit/explicit measures was not significantly<br />
moderated by exercise condition. In sum, implicit/explicit measures<br />
were both associated with exercise status. Future research will<br />
assess the incremental utility <strong>of</strong> the implicit measures in predicting<br />
exercise behavior.<br />

MEMORY FOR FATIGUE IN CHRONIC FATIGUE<br />
SYNDROME: RELATIONSHIPS TO SYMPTOM<br />

In the absence <strong>of</strong> a definitive biomedical test for chronic fatigue<br />
syndrome (CFS), symptom self-reports have assumed much greater<br />
importance in behavioral assessments and physician <strong>of</strong>fice visits.<br />
In an effort to quantify the differences between what patients<br />
remember about their fatigue as compared to the fatigue levels<br />
they actually experience, experience sampling methods have been<br />
used. This ecological study hypothesized that recall <strong>of</strong> fatigue in<br />
CFS will be related to (a) the variability <strong>of</strong> momentary (real-time)<br />
fatigue ratings and (b) the psychological variables <strong>of</strong> catastrophizing,<br />
anxiety, and depression. In addition, it was expected that (c)<br />
catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression would be associated with<br />
the intensity <strong>of</strong> momentary fatigue. Subjects were fifty-three adults<br />
with CFS who carried electronic diaries for three weeks to assess<br />
their momentary ratings <strong>of</strong> fatigue. Retrospective fatigue intensity<br />
was measured with weekly recall ratings <strong>of</strong> momentary reports.<br />
Standardized questionnaires for catastrophizing, depression, and<br />
anxiety were also administered. Results partially confirmed our first<br />
hypothesis: Higher variability <strong>of</strong> momentary fatigue was related<br />
to recall <strong>of</strong> higher fatigue levels relative to average momentary<br />
fatigue ratings (week 1: r = .46, p < .002; week 2: r = .33, p < .05).<br />
However, the week 3 correlation was non-significant (r = .04, p =<br />
ns). Our second hypothesis was also partially confirmed: Higher<br />
levels <strong>of</strong> catastrophizing (r = -.37; p

Background: Accelerometer data is treated as an objective measure<br />
<strong>of</strong> physical activity, <strong>of</strong>ten used as a criterion against which subjective<br />
physical activity instruments are validated.<br />
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between several measures <strong>of</strong><br />
physical activity, including accelerometer data.<br />
Methods: Multiple measures <strong>of</strong> physical activity were collected from<br />
90 adolescents (mean age = 14.74; 51 male) as part <strong>of</strong> a longitudinal<br />
study assessing exercise behavior in naturalistic and laboratory<br />
environments. Participants wore tri-axial Actigraph accelerometers<br />
for 7 days during waking hours, except when bathing / swimming;<br />
they noted in logs the duration and explanation <strong>of</strong> periods when the<br />
accelerometer was not worn. Participants also completed a 3-Day<br />
Physical Activity Recall (3DPAR), a Physical Activity-specific Stage<br />
<strong>of</strong> Change questionnaire, and a sports participation questionnaire.<br />
Measures <strong>of</strong> fitness (VO2max, Ventilatory Threshold, Maximum<br />
Heart Rate) were determined via cycle ergometer fitness test. Body<br />
Mass Index was also calculated. Relationships among these activity<br />
and fitness indices were assessed via correlation and linear regression<br />
analyses.<br />
Results: Accelerometer log data revealed that accelerometers<br />
were frequently removed for participation in water sports and<br />
occasionally for non-water sports and were worn for less than 12<br />
hours on 35% <strong>of</strong> days. Accelerometer data was not significantly<br />
correlated with any <strong>of</strong> the following measures <strong>of</strong> activity (all <strong>of</strong><br />
which were significantly correlated with each another; ps < .05):<br />
3DPAR, sports participation, Stage <strong>of</strong> Change. Regression analyses<br />
revealed that accelerometer data predicted physical fitness as<br />
measured by VO2max (β = .29, p < .01), and Ventilatory Threshold<br />
(β = .27, p < .01), but not Max HR or BMI.<br />
Conclusions: Accelerometer data may not accurately reflect physical<br />
activity level <strong>of</strong> active adolescents. On the other hand, accelerometer<br />
data may effectively capture physical fitness.<br />

CONSTRUCT VALIDITY OF THE BRIEF<br />
MULTIDIMENSIONAL MEASURE OF RELIGION/<br />
SPIRITUALITY<br />

Religiosity (i.e., religiousness and/or spirituality) has been given<br />
increased attention in the research literature as a potential predictor<br />
<strong>of</strong> health outcomes, particularly in older adults. However, the<br />
~ 105 ~<br />
manner in which religiosity is conceptualized varies greatly. To<br />
remedy this, the National Institute <strong>of</strong> Aging and the Fetzer Group<br />
created a Brief Multidimensional Measure <strong>of</strong> Religion/Spirituality<br />
(BMMRS; NIA/Fetzer, 1999), which contains scales such as<br />
Organized Religiousness, Private Religious Practice, and Daily<br />
Spiritual Experiences. It has not yet been determined, however,<br />
whether these scales assess a broad “religiosity” construct, two<br />
constructs <strong>of</strong> “religiousness” and “spirituality,” or three distinct<br />
constructs (i.e., Organized Religiousness, Private Religious Practice,<br />
and Daily Spiritual Experiences). The current study tested the<br />
factor structure <strong>of</strong> three competing models <strong>of</strong> religiosity using<br />
confirmatory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation<br />
in LISREL 8.50 (Jöreskog & Sörbom, 2001). Data were collected<br />
from a sample <strong>of</strong> older adults (M age = 66.8 yrs, N = 182) who<br />
completed several BMMRS items. Acceptable model-data fit was<br />
not achieved for any <strong>of</strong> the three hypothesized models. The model<br />
specifying the scales as representing distinct but related constructs,<br />
however, clearly provided a better fit to the data than did the other<br />
two models (χ2 = 263.82, df = 113; RMSEA = .09 (90% CI: .07<br />
- .10); CFI = .93, SRMR = .05). Although no single model fit the<br />
data well according to accepted model-data fit criteria, the poor<br />
fit <strong>of</strong> the single-factor model suggests that these items are not<br />
assessing a single “religiosity” construct. Furthermore, the large<br />
correlation between “religiousness” and “spirituality” in the second<br />
model (Φ2,1 = .91) suggests that these are overlapping rather than<br />
independent constructs. It is suggested that researchers interested in<br />
the assessment <strong>of</strong> religiosity maintain a multi-dimensional approach<br />
when analyzing their data.<br />

Background: Obesity continues to be a significant health problem<br />
in the United States. Studies consistently link this increase in<br />
obesity prevalence to decreased participation in leisure time physical<br />
activity. Previous studies have examined the relationship between<br />
physical activity and other attributing factors, such as the physical<br />
environment. However, much <strong>of</strong> the data on physical activity and<br />
the physical environment have been based on self-report recall, a<br />
relatively inaccurate method for determining actual levels <strong>of</strong> physical<br />
activity.<br />
Purpose: The goal <strong>of</strong> this study is to apply the Block Walk Method<br />
(BWM), developed in a previous study for an urban setting, to<br />
a suburban setting to test its reliability. It was uncertain if the<br />
BWM could be applied to a suburban setting, due to its unique<br />
environmental characteristics.<br />
Methods: Trained observers established Examination Transportation<br />
Routes in nine U.S. Census block groups and used the BWM to

physical activity was taking place, the number <strong>of</strong> participants, and<br />
the activity in which they were engaged.<br />
Results: Agreement was calculated for the address <strong>of</strong> the physical<br />
activity, the number <strong>of</strong> participants involved and the type <strong>of</strong> activity<br />
observed - 79.1%, 87.8% and 76.9%, respectively, with a combined<br />
agreement <strong>of</strong> 81.3%. The number <strong>of</strong> participants for each activity<br />
observed also is provided.<br />
Conclusion: The levels <strong>of</strong> agreement were acceptable to conclude<br />
that the BWM is reliable in a suburban setting, but there are a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> procedural adjustments to be made to further enhance<br />
the reliability.<br />

AND ESTIMATED ENERGY REQUIREMENT IN A LATINO<br />
POPULATION AT RISK OF DEVELOPING DIABETES<br />

Medical School, Worcester, MA.<br />
Objective: Underreporting <strong>of</strong> energy intake has been associated<br />
with higher body mass index(BMI); however studies in minority<br />
populations are limited. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted<br />
to examine the difference between self-reported energy intake and<br />
estimated energy requirement, and evaluate factors associated with<br />
this difference, in a low income, lower literacy Caribbean Latino<br />
community in Lawrence, Massachusetts.<br />
Subject: One hundred and sixty-two Latinos were assessed as part <strong>of</strong><br />
a diabetes prevention study. The eligibility included a ≥30% risk <strong>of</strong><br />
developing diabetes in 7.5 years, assessed with the Stern formula.<br />
Methods: Demographic, dietary, and psychosocial data collected at<br />
baseline was used for this investigation. Dietary self-reported energy<br />
intake was collected using three randomly selected days <strong>of</strong> 24-<br />
hour diet recalls. Total energy expenditure was estimated using the<br />
Mifflin-St Jeor equation.<br />
Statistical Analysis: The energy difference was calculated using<br />
24-hour derived energy intake minus estimated total energy<br />
expenditure. Linear regression analysis was used to identify factors<br />
associated with this difference.<br />
Results: The population was predominately female (77%), average<br />
age 51 years [standard deviation (SD)=11], BMI 35kg/m2<br />
(SD=5.8), 62% had less than high school education, 56% were<br />
unemployed, and 35% had siblings with diabetes. Reported total<br />
daily energy intake was 1552 kcal (SD=610), whereas daily total<br />
energy expenditure was estimated at 1909 kcal (SD=315), with a<br />
difference <strong>of</strong> -357 kcal (SD=591). Higher BMI, having siblings<br />
with diabetes, and being married was positively associated with<br />
underreporting <strong>of</strong> energy intake.<br />
Applications/Conclusions: This is the first study to describe dietary<br />
intake under-reporting in a low-income, lower literacy Caribbean<br />
Latino population. It has implications for future analyses and<br />
collecting <strong>of</strong> the dietary data in this population.<br />

A COMPARISON OF BODY IMAGE DISCREPANCY<br />
MEASUREMENT IN THE LABORATORY AND DAILY LIFE<br />
Kristin Heron, MS and Joshua Smyth, PhD<br />
Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY.<br />
Self-discrepancy theory is a useful framework for exploring how<br />
individuals view their bodies. Body image discrepancies [BID]<br />
result from conflicting beliefs about one’s actual body and the body<br />
one would ideally like to have (actual:ideal discrepancy [A:I]), or<br />
beliefs about the body one ought to have (actual:ought [A:O]). BID<br />
are interpreted as a measurement <strong>of</strong> body image dissatisfaction,<br />
and are associated with disordered eating behaviors, dieting, and<br />
weight control attempts. BID are generally measured using a figure<br />
rating scale in a laboratory or clinical setting, although there is<br />
little evidence that this measurement technique represents actual<br />
experiences. Laboratory-based assessments may be problematic as<br />
phenomenon measured in artificial settings may not be indicative<br />
<strong>of</strong> processes that occur in the real world. This study used Ecological<br />
Momentary Assessment [EMA] to assess BID in everyday settings.<br />
College women (n=63; mean age=19.0) completed BID measures<br />
in a laboratory and five times daily for one week on palmtop<br />
computers. EMA data were analyzed in SAS PROC MIXED,<br />
accounting for the nested data structure. Significant A:I and A:<br />
O discrepancies existed on both laboratory and EMA measures<br />
(p’s.19). These data indicate that women’s<br />
BID can be measured in everyday life. Furthermore, discrepancies<br />
assessed in laboratory and via momentary measures in the natural<br />
environment show convergent validity. This is the first study to<br />
measure body image in real time and suggests that that researchers<br />
and clinicians can be confident that laboratory BID measures are<br />
ecologically valid and comparable to real world assessments. Future<br />
research may benefit from using EMA to examine contextual<br />
influences on BID.<br />

The use <strong>of</strong> FFQ to measure diet in large-scale study in China is<br />
virtually unique and innovative. As part <strong>of</strong> our previous NCIfunded<br />
longitudinal smoking prevention and health promotion<br />
program conducted in Wuhan, China, a self-administrated FFQ<br />
has been designed to get reasonably accurate and reliable picture <strong>of</strong><br />
usual diet in adolescents living in urban and rural areas surrounding<br />
Wuhan city <strong>of</strong> China. The FFQ is self-administrated and contains<br />
124 food items in 22 food groups and asks subjects to report<br />
frequency <strong>of</strong> food consumption over a 7-day period. Nutrient<br />
intakes are able to estimated according to a comprehensive nutrient<br />
database established based on predetermined standard portion size<br />
<strong>of</strong> foods and food composition tables. A validation study with the<br />
purpose to quantify the accuracy and reliability <strong>of</strong> this FFQ and<br />
its variation across seasons has been conducted in a representative<br />
sample <strong>of</strong> 8th graders in Wuhan, China. A total <strong>of</strong> 408 8th graders<br />
were randomly selected from 8 classes <strong>of</strong> 4 schools. At each season<br />
over one-year period, all students repeatedly completed the first<br />
FFQ, about 50 students (i.e. one class from one school) were<br />
selected to complete the 2nd FFQ and received two 24-hour food<br />
recalls (randomly selecting 1/3 <strong>of</strong> recalls at weekends and 2/3 <strong>of</strong><br />
recalls at weekdays) between the period <strong>of</strong> two FFQs (3 weeks<br />
apart). The energy-adjusted correlation coefficients for reliability <strong>of</strong><br />
two FFQs were adequate, ranging from 0.34 to 0.6 with mean <strong>of</strong><br />
0.46 (e.g. 0.51 for protein, 0.49 for total fats, 0.45 for saturated fats,<br />
0.48 for cholesterol, 0.47 for fiber, and 0.6 for calcium), and the<br />
coefficients were similar across different seasons. Validity coefficients<br />
between FFQ and 24-hour recalls were acceptable with the mean <strong>of</strong><br />
correlation coefficients <strong>of</strong> 0.32 ranging from 0.15 to 0.73 and mean<br />
<strong>of</strong> Kappa coefficients <strong>of</strong> 0.48 ranging from 0.43 to 0.6.<br />

Brief counseling for smoking cessation delivered by health care<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals is an effective means <strong>of</strong> helping smokers quit. We<br />
surveyed 100 pharmacy clients who smoke and their interest in<br />
receiving smoking counseling from a pharmacist.<br />
Recruitment and surveys were conducted as interviews when clients<br />
exited a pharmacy adjacent to an HMO. 37% <strong>of</strong> participants were<br />
male (mean age = 42.7); 56% were Hispanic; 92% white, 8%<br />
Native American; 38% had 12 years education (22% had < 12<br />
years); and 62% had < $20,000 annual household income.<br />
Average smoking rate =16.5 cigarettes/day. Sixty percent reported<br />
trying to quit in the past year. Nearly half (48%) had high scores<br />
on a measure <strong>of</strong> nicotine dependence (FTQ). Stage <strong>of</strong> change<br />
for readiness to quit smoking was distributed as follows: 22%<br />
Precontemplation, 50% Contemplation, and 28% Preparation.<br />
Seventy percent had never used medication during previous quit<br />
attempts. Only 20% had used nicotine replacement and 3% had<br />
~ 107 ~<br />
tried Zyban (3%).<br />
While 83% reported their doctor had asked about their smoking<br />
and 57% had been advised to quit by their doctor, no participants<br />
had ever been asked about their smoking, advised to quit, or <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
help with quitting by a pharmacist. However, 84% <strong>of</strong> participants<br />
thought that it would be a good idea for pharmacists to speak with<br />
their customers about quitting smoking.<br />
Participants were asked whether they would use various intervention<br />
systems if recommended by the pharmacist. One-fifth (21%) said<br />
they would be likely to use a computer at the pharmacy, 25% a<br />
pharmacist-recommended website, and 34% would use a telephone<br />
quitline.<br />
Pharmacists’ expertise in drug therapy, their accessibility to the<br />
public, and their presence at the point-<strong>of</strong>-purchase <strong>of</strong> nicotine<br />
replacement products and other cessation-related medications,<br />
make them particularly suitable advocates for smoking cessation.<br />
Pharmacy clients appear in need <strong>of</strong>, and interested in, counseling by<br />
their pharmacist.<br />

Setting: San Diego, CA, January 2005 to April 2006.<br />
Participants: N=1,642 adults who advertised in the Auto Trader cars<br />
for sale built after 1988.<br />
Main outcome measures: Published asking price, self-reported<br />
smoking behavior.<br />
Results: Twenty-two percent <strong>of</strong> used cars were sold by smokers or<br />
had been smoked in during the previous year. After controlling for<br />
make, model, mileage, age, and condition <strong>of</strong> car, the smoking status<br />
<strong>of</strong> the seller (p=.002) and <strong>of</strong> the car (p=.001) were significantly<br />
associated with the asking price. Cars sold by smokers in which<br />
cigarettes had been smoked were <strong>of</strong>fered 9% below the asking prices<br />
<strong>of</strong> equivalent nonsmoker cars.

Conclusions: One in five used cars sold by private parties is<br />
potentially contaminated with residual secondhand smoke. The<br />
difference in asking prices may reflect the price <strong>of</strong> smoking cigarettes<br />
in a private car or, alternatively, the gain in value <strong>of</strong> a smoke-free<br />
car. This difference may reflect a cultural preference for cars free <strong>of</strong><br />
tobacco contamination. As this preference becomes more widely<br />
recognized, it may increase incentives for smokers to avoid smoking<br />
to preserve the value <strong>of</strong> their car. Future policies requiring disclosure<br />
<strong>of</strong> contamination <strong>of</strong> used cars might strengthen consumers’ buying<br />
discretion, magnify price differentials, and promote tobacco<br />
prevention and cessation.<br />

rates ranging from 9% to as high as 57%. Some young African<br />
American females have even been noted to perceive partner violence<br />
as a sign <strong>of</strong> commitment. Data for this study was collected via selfadministered<br />
survey <strong>of</strong> African American females living in a co-ed<br />
campus dormitory located in a southern U.S. city. Of the 89 young<br />
women surveyed (mean age 18.5 years), 78.7% (n=70) were sexually<br />
experienced. Of these, 35.7% (n=25) reported being forced to have<br />
sex at least once. When asked whether the act occurred due to peer<br />
pressure (i.e. emotional and verbal coercion) or physical force, 68%<br />
(n=17) were pressured while 40% (n=10) were physically forced.<br />
Regarding the perpetrator <strong>of</strong> the forced act, most (95.8%) identified<br />
him as a close friend. An overwhelming majority (96.0%) did not<br />
report the incident with the most <strong>of</strong>ten cited reason for non-report<br />
being “a desire to forget” (48.0%). Adolescent victimization through<br />
forced sex is <strong>of</strong>ten an overlooked issue among young dating couples.<br />
Given that many <strong>of</strong> the participants were peer pressured into<br />
forced sex, self-esteem and confidence building as well as condom<br />
negotiation skills should be stressed among this population. As rates<br />
<strong>of</strong> sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV among African<br />
American females continue to rise, intervention efforts designed<br />
to reduce disease prevalence should incorporate information about<br />
preventing dating violence for both females and males at an early age<br />

The prevalence <strong>of</strong> obesity among adolescents has increased<br />
dramatically in the past 20 years. These data are alarming, especially<br />
because obese adolescents are at highest risk <strong>of</strong> becoming obese<br />
adults. The National Cancer Institute recommends eating at least 5<br />
servings <strong>of</strong> fruits and vegetables (f&v) a day to promote good health<br />
and prevent chronic diseases, including obesity. The CITY100 teen<br />
health survey was a phone survey <strong>of</strong> 6,125 teens and their parents<br />
in the 100 largest U.S. cities (approx 60 pairs per city). Items<br />
included previously validated questions on f&v consumption, as<br />
well as other health related behaviors; the response rate was 75%.<br />
The sample was 14-17 years and 51.5% were female. Race/ethnicity<br />
percentages were approximately 77% non-Hispanic White, 12%<br />
Hispanic (all races), 8% non-Hispanic Black, and 3% other. The<br />
mean number <strong>of</strong> f&v servings “in a typical day” was 4.2 (SD=1.9),<br />
~ 110 ~<br />
with approximately 42% <strong>of</strong> respondents meeting the 5+ a day<br />
recommendation. Recommendation compliance was significantly<br />
associated with sex, race, and parental education level. Males were<br />
significantly less likely to comply than females (40% vs. 43%,<br />

ATTITUDINAL PREDICTORS OF INDOOR TANNING<br />
AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: A FOLLOW-UP STUDY<br />
Sharon Dan<strong>of</strong>f-Burg, PhD and Catherine E. Mosher, MA<br />
Psychology, University at Albany-SUNY, Albany, NY.<br />
In a previous study (Dan<strong>of</strong>f-Burg & Mosher, 2006) we investigated<br />
attitudinal predictors <strong>of</strong> indoor ultraviolet light (UVL) tanning,<br />
based on Jaccard’s (1981) Theory <strong>of</strong> Alternative Behavior. College<br />
students’ attitudes toward various behavioral alternatives for<br />
enhancing appearance did not predict the frequency <strong>of</strong> their indoor<br />
tanning. This follow-up study used a broader list <strong>of</strong> alternatives<br />
that may be particularly relevant to college students and surveyed a<br />
larger sample (N = 421). We hypothesized that frequency <strong>of</strong> indoor<br />
tanning would be inversely related to favorable attitudes toward<br />
other options for enhancing physical appearance and relaxing.<br />
The sample was 67.5% female. Most participants were 18 to<br />
21 years old (92.9%) and European American (75.8%), Latino<br />
(10.5%), or Asian American (6.7%). Participants anonymously<br />
completed questionnaires on one occasion.<br />
Multiple regression analyses with gender and skin type as control<br />
variables were conducted. Results indicated that frequency <strong>of</strong> indoor<br />
tanning was inversely related to favorable attitudes toward wearing<br />
jewelry to enhance appearance (p = .03) and playing video games<br />
to relax (p = .04). In addition, frequency <strong>of</strong> indoor tanning was<br />
positively related to favorable attitudes toward using drugs to relax<br />
(p = .01). This finding is particularly interesting in light <strong>of</strong> research<br />
suggesting that, for some individuals, chronic indoor tanning may<br />
be a novel type <strong>of</strong> UVL substance-related disorder (Warthan et al.,<br />
2005).<br />
Overall, our findings suggest that interventions for reducing skin<br />
cancer risk among college students should focus not only on<br />
decreasing favorable attitudes toward tanning, but also on increasing<br />
favorable attitudes toward healthier alternatives to tanning.<br />

Background<br />
DNA based risk information is predicted to motivate behavior<br />
change more strongly than other types <strong>of</strong> risk information. The<br />
current study explores whether and how the behavioral impact<br />
<strong>of</strong> DNA testing can be disentangled from the impact <strong>of</strong> the risk<br />
estimates generated by such tests.<br />
~ 111 ~<br />
Methods<br />
Secondary data analyses were conducted on a randomized clinical<br />
trial in which 162 participants with at least one parent affected with<br />
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) received a lifetime risk estimate <strong>of</strong> AD<br />
which either did or did not involve testing and disclosure <strong>of</strong> APOE<br />
genotype (ε4 positive or negative, associated respectively in this<br />
cohort with lifetime risks <strong>of</strong> 48% and 24%; control group lifetime<br />
risk estimates were 27%). AD-specific self-reported behavior change<br />
(diet, exercise and/or medication use) was assessed 12 months after<br />
risk assessment.<br />
Results<br />
Behavior change was more likely, but not significantly so, in those<br />
who were ε4 positive than those in the control group (53% vs<br />
31%; adjusted OR= 2.20, 95% CI [0.87,5.56], p=0.10), . Behavior<br />
change was also more likely with increasing lifetime risk estimates<br />
(adjusted OR= 1.05, 95% CI [1.01, 1.09], p=0.02).We were unable<br />
to assess the independent effects <strong>of</strong> these two variables because <strong>of</strong><br />
their collinearity.<br />
Behavior change between those who were ε4 negative and those in<br />
the control group (with similar risk estimates) was similar (24% vs<br />
31%; adjusted OR= 0.82, 95% CI 0.32, 2.11, p=0.68).<br />
Conclusion<br />
It remains to be seen whether feedback <strong>of</strong> genotype status has an<br />
impact upon behavior beyond that <strong>of</strong> risk estimates. Novel study<br />
designs are needed to allow the effect <strong>of</strong> the meaning <strong>of</strong> DNA to be<br />
disentangled from the impact <strong>of</strong> the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the risk estimates<br />
generated by genetic testing.<br />

Introduction: Despite evidence showing that fruit and vegetable<br />
(F/V) consumption and increased physical activity (PA) can<br />
help prevent many diseases, a majority <strong>of</strong> the U.S. population<br />
are not meeting current national recommendations (5-13 F/Vs;<br />
>=150 minutes <strong>of</strong> PA/week). This study sought to explore the<br />
sociodemographic and health communication correlates <strong>of</strong> nonadherence<br />
using a nationally representative sample.Methods: Data<br />
from the 2005 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS<br />
2005) were analyzed. The association between sociodemographic<br />
factors including age, education, race/ethnicity, gender, BMI,<br />
acculturation and cancer history, and health communication variables,<br />
including cancer information seeking and exposure to health-related<br />
information from different media were assessed using chi-square<br />
for bivariate relationships. These were followed by separate logistic<br />
regression models to assess significant associations with non-adherence<br />
for F/V and PA recommendations.Results: In the multivariate<br />
logistic model <strong>of</strong> non-adherence with F/V recommendations, lower

education, being male, and less exposure to health-related print<br />
information remained as significant correlates. Non-adherence with<br />
PA recommendations in the logistic model was associated with<br />
being older, female, not being born in the US, higher BMI, and less<br />
exposure to health-related print information.Conclusions: These<br />
results reveal distinct correlates <strong>of</strong> non-adherence with F/V and PA<br />
recommendations. Consistent with previous research, this study<br />
found that males and those with less education are more likely to be<br />
non-adherent with F/V recommendations while females demonstrate<br />
greater non-adherence with PA recommendations. For both F/V<br />
and PA outcomes, low exposure to health-related information in<br />
newspapers and magazines was related to non-adherence, even after<br />
controlling for education. These results have implications for tailoring<br />
the delivery <strong>of</strong> information.<br />

PERCEPTIONS OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION<br />
(STI) RISK AMONG COLLEGE AGE AFRICAN AMERICAN<br />
WOMEN<br />
Shacara D. Johnson, BS, Malaika Pepper Washington, MSPH and<br />
Lucy Annang, PhD, MPH, Health Behavior, University <strong>of</strong> Alabama<br />
at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.<br />
Nearly 20 million cases <strong>of</strong> STIs are reported annually, half <strong>of</strong> which<br />
are among youth ages 15-24, with African American females at<br />
particularly high risk. Studies have shown that youth estimate a<br />
higher perceived risk <strong>of</strong> casual partners compared to main partners,<br />
thus choosing to use condoms more consistently with these<br />
partners. Study participants were recruited from an urban university<br />
in the southern U.S. Eighty-nine African American female freshmen<br />
residing in a campus dormitory completed self-administered surveys<br />
designed to assess their sexual risk practices and perceptions. Nearly<br />
80% (n=70) <strong>of</strong> the sample was sexually experienced with only 7.0%<br />
estimating that their partner was at high or very high risk for getting<br />
an STI. However, 21.9% <strong>of</strong> the sample thought that their partners<br />
had an STI history. Of those who reported having a main partner<br />
(75%, n=48), 70.8% (n=34) used a condom at last intercourse,<br />
with 60.4% (n=29) indicating that they used condoms every time<br />
they had sex. Seven participants reported having a casual partner, <strong>of</strong><br />
which 100% reported using a condom the last time they had sex,<br />
and 100% using condoms on a consistent basis. Many <strong>of</strong> the college<br />
women in this sample used condoms consistently (more so with<br />
casual than main partners), even though they did not perceive their<br />
sexual partners to be at risk for STIs. Intervention efforts should<br />
continue to emphasize condoms as the best barrier method for STI<br />
prevention and capitalize on perceptions <strong>of</strong> casual partner risk to<br />
translate into increased use among main partners.<br />

KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND RISK PERCEPTIONS<br />
RELATED TO DIABETES, WEIGHT AND DIABETES<br />
PREVENTION IN A SAMPLE OF LOW-INCOME LATINOS<br />

Ph.D. and Ira S. Ockene, MD<br />
<strong>Medicine</strong>, University <strong>of</strong> Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester,<br />
MA.<br />
Objective: The prevalence <strong>of</strong> type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is<br />
increasing dramatically and Latinos are at greater risk to develop<br />
this disease compared to Caucasians. This study assessed knowledge,<br />
attitudes and risk perceptions related to type 2 diabetes, weight and<br />
diabetes prevention among low-income Latinos with no known<br />
diagnosis <strong>of</strong> diabetes.<br />
Method: Qualitative research methods were used. Participants were<br />
recruited from a predominantly low-income Latino community<br />
in Massachusetts. Focus groups were conducted in Spanish by<br />
bilingual, bicultural researchers. Analysis <strong>of</strong> transcripts were<br />
analyzed as described by a method developed by LaPelle (2004), a<br />
systematic process for tabulating and interpreting interview data.<br />
Results: 41 individuals participated in 4 focus groups. The sample<br />
was largely female (87%), middle age was 44 years (range 22-<br />
76), 70.6% had a high school education or less, and 53.6% were<br />
unemployed. Participants had some basic knowledge <strong>of</strong> diabetes and<br />
its management but also lack <strong>of</strong> information and misconceptions<br />
regarding its causes and potential complications. Few were aware <strong>of</strong><br />
age, ethnicity, hypertension, and gestational diabetes as risk factors<br />
for diabetes. Only half were aware <strong>of</strong> family history as a risk factor.<br />
Half believed that they could take action to decrease diabetes risk<br />
but weight loss was cited by only a quarter <strong>of</strong> participants as a<br />
preventive method. The U.S. culture and experiencing high levels<br />
<strong>of</strong> emotions were cited by many as contributing to poor diet and<br />
development <strong>of</strong> diabetes. Almost all <strong>of</strong> the participants reported<br />
attempts at weight loss with dietary changes most frequently being<br />
used and many endorsed frustration at lack <strong>of</strong> weight loss success.<br />
Appearance was the most common motivator for losing weight.<br />
Less than half <strong>of</strong> the participants reported concern about developing<br />
diabetes<br />
Applications/Conclusions: Public health interventions are needed<br />
to educate Latinos about their risk <strong>of</strong> developing diabetes and<br />
strategies for preventing or delaying T2DM onset.<br />

MVPA contributes to weight gain. Information about the benefits<br />
<strong>of</strong> and barriers to MVPA perceived by middle school students is<br />
sparse. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this study was to examine middle school<br />
students’ reasons for being physically active, playing sports, or<br />
exercising and obstacles preventing these behaviors. The sample<br />
consisted <strong>of</strong> racially diverse boys and girls (N = 206), age 11-14<br />
years, from primarily low socioeconomic backgrounds, who were<br />
recruited from physical education (PE) classes in a middle school<br />
located in small Midwestern city. Participants were healthy with no<br />
acute or chronic health conditions limiting MVPA. The 10-item<br />
Perceived Benefits and 9-item Perceived Barriers Questionnaires,<br />
each having a 4-point Likert-type scale, were employed. Middle<br />
school students used the following response choices to personally<br />
identify their perceived benefits <strong>of</strong> and barriers to MVPA: (1) Not<br />
at all true, (2) Not very true, (3) Sort <strong>of</strong> true, and (4) Very true.<br />
More than 50% <strong>of</strong> the middle school students selected “very true”<br />
to indicate the importance <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> the following 6 benefits to<br />
them personally (listed in order from highest to lowest): (1) take<br />
care <strong>of</strong> myself, stay in shape, and be healthier; (2) improve or have<br />
more athletic skills; (3) have a chance to play and be active; (4) have<br />
more energy; (5) prove to myself what I can do physically; and 6)<br />
have fun or be part <strong>of</strong> a fun group activity. Of interest is that when<br />
percentages associated with response choices “sort <strong>of</strong> true” and “very<br />
true” were combined for each Perceived Barriers Questionnaire<br />
item, all sums were less than 50%. Only 2 barriers were identified<br />
by over 40% <strong>of</strong> the students: (1) I have minor aches and pains<br />
from activity and (2) I am tired. Research is needed to explore if<br />
behavioral enactment, such as MVPA during PE, promotes more<br />
positive perceptions.<br />

Preliminary evidence suggests that anxiety, hostility, and depression<br />
are associated with central adiposity in adulthood, although little is<br />
known about associations during adolescence. Our objective was to<br />
examine the role <strong>of</strong> hostility, anxiety, and social relationships in the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> central adiposity, as measured by waist-to-hip ratio<br />
(WHR), in a sample <strong>of</strong> White and Black adolescents. Participants<br />
consisted <strong>of</strong> 159 boys and girls (50% Black, 52% male) from<br />
Pittsburgh Project Pressure. There were two data collection periods<br />
(T1 and T2), approximately 3.5 years apart, and participants were<br />
between the ages <strong>of</strong> 14 and 16 during T1. Anger was measured<br />
by the Speilberger Trait Scale, hostility was measured by 26 items<br />
from the Cook-Medley Inventory, and social relationships were<br />
measured by the Measurement <strong>of</strong> Attachment Qualities and Social<br />
Relationships Index. Linear regression analyses were used to evaluate<br />
the association between T1 psychosocial variables and T2 WHR,<br />
~ 113 ~<br />
controlling for T1 WHR, T1 age, time interval between T1 and T2,<br />
gender, race, and T2 body mass index. Results showed significant<br />
main effects <strong>of</strong> trait anger (β = .117, p = .05), hostile affect (β =<br />
.147, p = .02), and relationship support (β = -.121, p = .05), and<br />
trends for attachment anxiety (β = .115, p = .06) and trait anxiety<br />
(β = .109, p = .08). Analyses conducted separately in boys and girls<br />
found that hostility was associated with WHR in boys (β = .201, p<br />
= .051) and attachment anxiety was associated with WHR in girls<br />
(β = .172, p = .046). This study provides preliminary support that<br />
psychosocial variables may be important in the development <strong>of</strong><br />
central adiposity in adolescents. Supported by NIH HL025767.<br />

“ADAPTIVE COPERS’” SELF-PRESENTATION IN THE<br />
MULTIDIMENSIONAL PAIN INVENTORY: FAKE OR VALID?<br />
Doerte U. Junghaenel, PhD and Joan E. Broderick, PhD<br />
Psychiatry, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY.<br />
The Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI) is one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />
widely used instruments to assess coping with chronic pain. It<br />
classifies patients into three clusters: Adaptive (AC), Dysfunctional<br />
(DYS), and Interpersonally Distressed (ID) copers. There has been<br />
concern that AC patients merely present themselves in a favorable<br />
light rather than being successfully adapted. Previous studies<br />
investigated this issue with self-report measures <strong>of</strong> social desirability<br />
and defensiveness. By contrast, the present study took a more<br />
comprehensive approach: it examined if AC patients’ positive selfreport<br />
is confirmed by 1) patients’ partners 2) patients’ healthcare<br />
providers, and 3) standardized observations <strong>of</strong> pain behavior.<br />
Chronic pain patients (n = 99, mean age = 52.6, 50% female, 87%<br />
White), their partners (n = 70, mean age = 50.7, 59% female,<br />
75% romantic), and providers (n = 87 patients) participated in the<br />
study. AC patients were compared with ID and DYS patients via<br />
univariate ANOVA planned contrasts on all study measures. As<br />
expected, AC patients subjectively reported the least catastrophizing<br />
(t(73) = -3.27, p < .01). However, this finding was confirmed by<br />
independent ratings <strong>of</strong> patient catastrophizing provided by both<br />
partners (t(51) = -4.77, p < .001) and providers (t(64) = -2.36, p <<br />
.01). Furthermore, trained observers who were blind to MPI cluster<br />
assignment rated the amount <strong>of</strong> patients’ pain behavior: AC patients<br />
received the lowest scores (Kuskall-Wallis χ2(2) = 8.71, p < .05).<br />
<strong>Final</strong>ly, partners <strong>of</strong> AC patients reported the least strain associated<br />
with caring for the patient (t(50) = -3.31, p < .01). Hence, it<br />
appears that the positive adaptation <strong>of</strong> AC patients is not limited<br />
to their own well-being, but expands to their immediate social<br />
network. The findings challenge the notion that AC patients are<br />
merely “minimizers” and provide further evidence for the validity <strong>of</strong><br />
the MPI taxonomy. Greater understanding <strong>of</strong> the adaptive coping<br />
strategies employed by AC patients may facilitate interventions<br />
designed for chronic pain.<br />

PREDICTING SEXUAL ASSAULT KNOWLEDGE USING<br />
TRANSTHEORETICAL MODEL ALCOHOL VARIABLES<br />
Rose Marie Ward, PhD<br />
Miami University, Oxford, OH.<br />
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) partitions individuals<br />
into five stages <strong>of</strong> health behavior change (Precontemplation,<br />
Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance). Utilizing<br />
data from a current student population, we examined the TTM<br />
stages <strong>of</strong> change with respect to getting drunk and binge drinking<br />
and the decisional balance construct to predict sexual assault<br />
knowledge and rape myth acceptance.<br />
The participants consisted <strong>of</strong> 497 first year college students college<br />
students (women = 60%) from a moderately sized university. The<br />
sample is primarily Caucasian (86.9%), single (91.5%), and had a<br />
mean age <strong>of</strong> 18.26 (SD = 1.53).<br />
The online survey included basic demographics questions, alcohol<br />
consumption items based on the Transtheoretical Model (Laforge,<br />
Maddock, & Rossi, 1998), Alcohol and Sexual Behavior Scale<br />
(Corbin, Bernat, Calhoun, McNair, & Seals, 2001), Sexual<br />
Experiences Survey (Koss & Oros, 1982), Illinois Rape Myth<br />
Acceptance Scale (Payne et al., 1999), and the Sexual Assault<br />

reported more realistic control perceived greater effectiveness in<br />
coping with chemotherapy (p= .029). Furthermore, and as expected,<br />
results indicated that realistic control was positively correlated<br />

positively related (p=.012). In a follow-up study with these women<br />
two years later, use <strong>of</strong> positive reframing was positively correlated to<br />
post-traumatic growth (p=.054). These results suggest that realistic<br />
and unrealistic control perceptions may be important determinants<br />
<strong>of</strong> effective coping with treatment for breast cancer. Implications<br />
and limitations are discussed.<br />

Treatment for prostate cancer (PC) is <strong>of</strong>ten associated with the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> side effects including urinary, bowel and sexual<br />
dysfunction and compromises in general quality <strong>of</strong> life. Research<br />
indicates that natural killer cell cytotoxicity (NKCC) is negatively<br />
associated with both anxiety and depression in the general<br />
population, but there has been minimal work conducted with<br />
PC patients. The current study examined relationships among<br />
depression, anxiety and NKCC in men treated for PC. Participants<br />
were men (N=125) who had received either radical prostatectomy<br />
or radiation therapy for localized PC, with an average age <strong>of</strong> 63.9<br />
years (SD=7.2), average yearly income <strong>of</strong> $50,570 (SD=$44,300)<br />

HEALTH LOCUS OF CONTROL AND HEALTHY LOW CD4<br />
STATUS IN HIV<br />
Rachel Kuhn, BA, Gail Ironson, MD, PhD, Maria Llabre, PhD and<br />
Neil Schneiderman, PhD<br />
Psychology, University <strong>of</strong> Miami, Coral Gables, FL.<br />
Although the Multidimensional Health Locus <strong>of</strong> Control<br />
(MHLOC) has been widely used, research in HIV positive<br />
individuals is limited. The aim <strong>of</strong> this study was to determine if<br />
the MHLOC was related to better health in people with HIV by<br />
comparing a rare group <strong>of</strong> individuals with very low CD4 cell<br />
counts (< 50) who were asymptomatic and not taking HARRT<br />
(HLC group), to a group <strong>of</strong> HIV positive individuals with normal<br />
disease progression (NCC= normal course control group). Methods:<br />
Two hundred forty-seven diverse participants with HIV completed<br />
MHLOC scales as part <strong>of</strong> a psychosocial battery. The MHLOC<br />
has four subscales: Internal, Chance, Doctors, and Other People.<br />
Each subscale measures the belief that one’s health is controlled<br />
by one <strong>of</strong> these four constructs. A group <strong>of</strong> 70 participants from<br />
the larger NCC group (n = 177) were matched one-to-one with a<br />
participant from the HLC group on four demographic variables<br />
(gender, education, ethnicity, and income). Independent samples<br />
t-tests assessed whether the two groups differed significantly on<br />
each <strong>of</strong> the four MHLOC subscales. Results: The HLC group was<br />
significantly lower on the Internal subscale (t(138) = -1.978, p<br />
= .050; mean = 23.07, SD = 5.53 vs. the matched control group<br />
mean = 24.94, SD = 5.67), and significantly higher on the Doctors<br />
subscale (t(138) = 2.044, p = .043; mean = 15.11, SD = 3.02 vs. the<br />
matched control group mean = 14.03, SD = 3.26), but the groups<br />
did not differ on the Chance (t(138) = .35, p = .73) or Other People<br />
(t(138) = .42, p = .67) subscales. Conclusions: Asymptomatic HIV<br />
positive individuals with very low CD4 counts were less likely<br />
to believe that they control their own health, and more likely to<br />
believe that doctors control their health when compared to a group<br />
<strong>of</strong> HIV positive individuals with normal disease progression. These<br />
findings were not due to gender, education, ethnicity, income, or<br />
HAART medication. As this is one <strong>of</strong> the first studies to examine<br />
the interplay between the MHLOC scales and health status in HIV,<br />
additional research is needed to further understand the complex<br />
relationships amongst these variables.<br />

We investigated associations among BMI, body image dissatisfaction<br />
and health behaviors <strong>of</strong> fruits and vegetables consumption and<br />
physical activity in Asian and Hispanic adolescents. A total <strong>of</strong> 1156<br />
Hispanic (67%) and Asian (33%) middle school students living<br />
in the Greater Los Angeles area filled in a questionnaire about<br />
~ 117 ~<br />
their health behaviors on physical activity and consumption <strong>of</strong><br />
fruits and vegetables, and body figure scales <strong>of</strong> self and ideal body<br />
image perception. Weight and height were measured. According to<br />
the 2000 CDC growth chart, 21.3% Asian and 32.6% Hispanic<br />
adolescents were at the risk <strong>of</strong> overweight (BMI at or greater than<br />
85th age- and gender-specific percentile cut<strong>of</strong>fs). Overweight<br />
adolescents reported significantly higher levels <strong>of</strong> body image<br />
dissatisfaction than normal or underweight adolescents. Path models<br />
implemented by Mplus were adopted to explore mediation effects<br />
<strong>of</strong> body image dissatisfaction on associations <strong>of</strong> BMI Z scores with<br />
health behaviors with adjustment for gender, socioeconomic status,<br />
puberty, and USA acculturation. Bootstrapped standard errors<br />
and confidence intervals were obtained for parameter estimates<br />
<strong>of</strong> mediation models. In Asian adolescents, higher BMI Z scores<br />
were significantly associated with higher levels <strong>of</strong> body image<br />

activity were associated with higher levels <strong>of</strong> physical activity, which<br />
is consistent with what has been observed in the general population<br />

examine how these factors relate to physical activity behavior over<br />
time, and should explore other determinants <strong>of</strong> self-efficacy.<br />

Smoking increases one’s risk for disease. This risk may be<br />
compounded by other unhealthy behaviors, such as poor diet.<br />
Understanding the association between smoking and diet is<br />
important for planning appropriate behavioral intervention<br />
programs for smokers. We examined this association among 2542<br />
adults randomly recruited from 5 healthcare organizations to<br />
participate in an online dietary intervention program (MENU).<br />
Participants completed a survey <strong>of</strong> their typical fruit and vegetable<br />
intake at baseline and answered questions regarding potential<br />
mediators/moderators <strong>of</strong> dietary behavior. Current smokers (n=<br />
265) and non-smokers (n = 2264) did not differ in terms <strong>of</strong> their<br />
age (mean = 46 years), gender (68% female), BMI (mean= 29), race<br />
(69% Caucasian) or health plan membership. Smokers reported<br />

status (Karn<strong>of</strong>sky Performance Status, KPS), signs/symptoms <strong>of</strong><br />
treatment toxicities (Sym/S), patient ratings <strong>of</strong> fatigue (Fatigue<br />
Severity Index) and quality <strong>of</strong> life disruption due to physical<br />
symptoms (PCS; MOS SF-36). In addition to baseline physical<br />
status, predictors were hopelessness (Beck Hopelessness Scale)<br />
and social support (Perceived Social Support-Family & Friends).<br />
RESULTS: Using hierarchical multiple regression, hopelessness<br />
predicted poorer physical status at both 4- (β = -.34, p < .01)<br />
and 10-months (β = -.30, p < .05), whereas social support did<br />
not. Follow-up regressions clarified that hopelessness predicted<br />
fatigue at 4- (β = .28) and 10-months (β = .48, ps < .05), KPS<br />
(β = -.40) and Sym/S (β =.36, ps < .01) at 4-months, and PCS at<br />
10-months (β = -.29, p < .05). CONCLUSIONS: These results<br />
show that hopelessness in response to recurrence can be especially<br />
burdensome. In this example, it related to poorer physical status<br />
months later, which included ratings <strong>of</strong> performance status and<br />
signs and symptoms <strong>of</strong> treatment toxicities as assessed by a nurse,<br />
and not the participant. This effect was not lessened by concurrent<br />
social support from family and friends.<br />

PERCEIVED ABILITY TO RELAX MEDIATES<br />
INTERVENTION-RELATED CHANGE IN EVENING<br />
CORTISOL AMONG BREAST CANCER PATIENTS<br />

Previous work demonstrated that a Cognitive-<strong>Behavioral</strong> Stress<br />
Management (CBSM) intervention reduced evening serum cortisol<br />
over 10-weeks among breast cancer (BRCA) patients. The present<br />
study used sophisticated analyses to examine change over a longer<br />
period <strong>of</strong> time in evening serum cortisol levels in a larger sample.<br />
We hypothesized CBSM would decrease cortisol levels at 6 & 12<br />
month follow-up and self-perceived ability to relax might mediate<br />
intervention effects on cortisol reduction. One hundred eighteen<br />
women (age M= 49.4,SD=7.68) were recruited 4-8 weeks postsurgery<br />
for non-metastatic breast cancer (Stage 0=21, I=49 II=44,<br />
III=4) and had not begun chemotherapy at entry. They were<br />
randomized to a 10-week CBSM group intervention (n=58) or oneday<br />
seminar (n=60) and were assessed at study entry (T1) & 6 (T2)<br />
& 12 (T3) month follow-up. Perceived ability to relax was measured<br />
using the Measure <strong>of</strong> Current Status (MOCSrelax).<br />
Using latent growth-curve modeling (intent-to-treat) and<br />
controlling for chemotherapy, we tested whether CBSM was related<br />
to ability to relax. The model fit the data (χ2(1)=0.034,p=0.8544).<br />
Condition related significantly to slope <strong>of</strong> MOCSrelax (z=2.400),<br />
indicating differential change over time; there were significant<br />
differences between groups at T2 (z=1.974) & T3 (z=2.522): those<br />
receiving CBSM had greater perceived ability to relax than controls.<br />
Next we tested whether the intervention predicted decreases in<br />
cortisol. The model fit the data (χ2(2)=0.773,p=0.6779). Condition<br />
related significantly to slope <strong>of</strong> cortisol change (z=-2.133): women<br />
receiving CBSM showed reduced evening cortisol levels over time,<br />
whereas those in the control group had no appreciable decline<br />
~ 119 ~<br />
in cortisol. When the MOCSrelax path was added to the model<br />
(χ2(11)= 14.051, p=0.3702), the direct effect <strong>of</strong> condition on<br />
cortisol was no longer significant, indicating successful mediation.<br />
Thus, perceived ability to relax was one explanation for the CBSMrelated<br />
reductions in evening cortisol among women being treated<br />
for breast cancer.<br />

RELATIONSHIPS OF EXERCISE AND SURVIVAL TIME<br />
TO MENTAL HEALTH AND BODY ESTEEM OF CANCER<br />
SURVIVORS<br />

Mood and body image may be disturbed following breast<br />
cancer treatment and exercise may ameliorate these symptoms.<br />
Unfortunately, long-term survivors have received less research<br />
attention than women soon after diagnosis, and the long-term<br />
consequences <strong>of</strong> treatment on body image, mental health and health<br />
behavior remain unclear. The present study assessed anxiety and<br />
depression (POMS-SF-36), satisfaction with body appearance and<br />
function (Body Esteem Scale) and exercise (Godin Leisure Time<br />
Index) <strong>of</strong> 95 breast cancer survivors who completed mail-based<br />
surveys to elucidate the impact <strong>of</strong> exercise, survival time, and their<br />
interaction on mental health. Survival time ranged from 1 to 37<br />
years with a median <strong>of</strong> 5 years and mean <strong>of</strong> 6.5 years (SD = 5.5).<br />
An ANCOVA and MANCOVA, controlling age and hormone<br />
therapy, revealed short-term survivors exercised significantly more,<br />
but long-term survivors reported greater satisfaction with body<br />
appearance and function. Regressions for each dependent variable<br />
examined exercise and survival time in the first step followed by<br />
their interaction in the second. The models for body function,<br />
body appearance, and tension-anxiety were significant explaining<br />
13%, 8%, and 9% <strong>of</strong> variance. Exercise entered the equation for<br />
body function and tension-anxiety, while survival entered the<br />
regression equation for tension-anxiety only. While the model for<br />
body appearance was significant, individual predictors did not<br />
reach significance. The interaction <strong>of</strong> exercise and survival time did<br />
not account for additional variance. These findings indicate breast<br />
cancer survivors who exercise more report higher satisfaction with<br />
their body function and less tension-anxiety, and increased survival<br />
time is associated with decreased tension-anxiety. Importantly,<br />
exercise seems to impact survivor’s body image and mood regardless<br />
<strong>of</strong> time since diagnosis.<br />

Preliminary research suggests that patients with diabetes are unaware<br />
<strong>of</strong> their glycemic control (Heisler, Piette, Spencer, Kieffer, & Vijan,<br />
2005). This is particularly problematic as 63% <strong>of</strong> patients with<br />
diabetes are not in control (Saydah, Fradkin, & Cowie, 2004),<br />
a problem heightened among minority populations. Following<br />
Leventhal’s common-sense model <strong>of</strong> self-regulation, we hypothesize<br />
that a patient’s estimate <strong>of</strong> diabetes control is colored by their lived<br />
experiences. Patients who believe diabetes has little impact on their<br />
life, or feel that they are “doing well” by following their diabetes<br />
regimen will base their perception <strong>of</strong> diabetes control both on<br />
subjective indicators, such as how they feel, in addition to disease<br />
indicators, such as HbA1c.<br />
We surveyed 401 individuals with diabetes from East Harlem,<br />
an urban, minority, low-income neighborhood with the highest<br />
prevalence <strong>of</strong> diabetes in New York City. Using regression analysis<br />
we examined if “lived experiences” including hypoglycemic<br />
episodes, impact <strong>of</strong> diabetes on functioning, depression, and selfreport<br />
adherence, would better predict perceived diabetes control,<br />
than would predict HbA1c.<br />
The results indicated that HbA1c and patients’ lived experiences,<br />
particularly self-rated impact <strong>of</strong> diabetes, depression, and selfreported<br />
adherence to a diabetic diet were predictive <strong>of</strong> perceived<br />
diabetes control. None <strong>of</strong> the patients’ lived experiences were<br />
predictive <strong>of</strong> HbA1c. In comparing the final models in both<br />
regression analyses, none <strong>of</strong> the variables which predicted HbA1c<br />
(age, diabetic medication, and BMI), were predictive <strong>of</strong> perceived<br />
diabetes control. This suggests that patients’ estimates <strong>of</strong> their<br />
glycemic control are biased by their subjective experiences, which<br />
have no impact on their actual glucose control.<br />

Neurocognitive impairment has been associated with cardiovascular<br />
and metabolic risk factors in previous studies. Evidence <strong>of</strong> cognitive<br />
impairment is detectable among those with cardiovascular and<br />
~ 120 ~<br />
metabolic risk factors prior to late adulthood with the use <strong>of</strong><br />
sensitive neuropsychological tests. Blacks may be particularly<br />
susceptible to the cognitive decline associated with poor<br />
cardiovascular and metabolic health. There is a paucity <strong>of</strong> research<br />
linking aspects <strong>of</strong> neurocognitive performance to these risk factors<br />
among Blacks. The current study investigated the relationships<br />
which exist between systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood<br />
pressure (DBP), triglycerides, high density lipoproteins (HDL),<br />
and visceral adiposity, and measures <strong>of</strong> complex attention. It was<br />
hypothesized that higher BP, elevated triglycerides, decreased<br />
HDL, and greater visceral adiposity would be associated with<br />
poorer performance on two measures <strong>of</strong> complex attention. Sixtyfive<br />
community adults completed the Symbol Digit Modalities<br />
Test (SDMT) (written and oral) and Trailmaking Test (TMT)<br />
A and B. Three blood pressure readings and a blood draw were<br />
taken to assess systolic and diastolic BP, triglycerides, and HDL.<br />
Waist circumference was assessed. Performance on the SDMT was<br />
inversely related to triglyceride and BP levels. Interestingly, TMT<br />
performance was positively associated with triglycerides and DBP.<br />
The results suggest that poorer performance on complex attention<br />
tasks is associated with elevated BP and triglyceride levels among<br />
Blacks. HDL and waist circumference are not associated with poorer<br />
complex attention; however, a small n was employed in the study.<br />
The SDMT appears to be a more sensitive tool for detecting these<br />
relationships than the TMT.<br />

Mindfulness can help treat substance use (Marlatt, 2004).<br />
Curiously, Leigh, Bowen, & Marlatt (2005) found that frequent<br />
binge-drinkers scored higher than non-drinkers on a subscale <strong>of</strong><br />
the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) assessing mind/body<br />
awareness. We sought to replicate this work using both the FMI and<br />
a new five-factor instrument that combines the five most common<br />
mindfulness measures (Baer, 2006). Five-hundred and thirty-seven<br />
undergraduates (62% female) completed on-line measures. In males,<br />
factor 5 “nonjudging <strong>of</strong> experience” was negatively related to drinks<br />
per week, F (1,187) = 6.06, p=.015. In females, factor 3, “acting<br />
without awareness” was positively related to drinking drinks per<br />
week, F(1,296) = 7.46, p=.007. The potential for anxiety sensitivity<br />
to moderate links between mindfulness and drinking was also<br />
examined. Women who were lower in attending to their sensations,<br />
thoughts, and feelings, showed a significant link between anxiety<br />
sensitivity and drinking, B = -0.74, t(280) = - 2.00, p = .046.<br />
These results may suggest that these women are actively attempting<br />
to avoid bodily sensations that tend to make them anxious, and use<br />
alcohol as one means <strong>of</strong> avoiding these sensations. This relationship<br />
was not found in males suggesting that there may be differential<br />
mechanisms at work.<br />

Controversy exists regarding whether weight-loss treatment<br />
is advisable in older obese adults, as epidemiological research<br />
suggests that weight loss in the elderly is associated with adverse<br />
consequences. However, weight loss in obese individuals<br />
produces improvements in a variety <strong>of</strong> health outcomes; thus it is<br />
important to determine whether weight-loss treatment should be<br />
recommended to elderly obese women. The present study sought<br />
to describe the benefits and negative consequences <strong>of</strong> weight-loss<br />
treatment in elderly obese women and to explore whether outcomes<br />
were equivalent to middle-aged women. Participants were 103<br />
middle-aged (50-59 years) and 44 older (65-74 years) obese women<br />
(mean pre-treatment weights: 97.2 ± 14.5 kg and 92.5 ± 15.0 kg,<br />
respectively) who completed a 6-month lifestyle intervention for<br />
weight loss. Elderly women lost 9.5% ± 5.5% initial body weight,<br />
equivalent to that achieved by middle-aged women (10.0 % ±<br />
5.8%; 95% CI <strong>of</strong> the difference: -1.6% to 2.5%). Additionally,<br />
elderly women experienced significant improvements in blood<br />
pressure, cholesterol, glycemic control, and inflammation (ps <<br />
0.025). The proportion <strong>of</strong> older women reporting a musculoskeletal<br />
adverse event (23%) was neither different than, nor equivalent<br />
to, the proportion <strong>of</strong> middle-aged women (18%). However,<br />
31% <strong>of</strong> women in the eldest age range (70-74 years) reported an<br />
adverse event as compared to only 18% <strong>of</strong> the youngest group<br />
(50-54 years). Although this difference did not reach statistical<br />
significance, it suggests that there may be a trend for women over<br />
70 to be at increased risk for musculoskeletal injury as compared<br />
to younger women. In sum, older women experienced clinically<br />
significant weight losses and improvements in risk factors; weight<br />
losses were equivalent to those achieved by middle-aged women.<br />
Additional studies are needed to determine if weight-loss treatment<br />
increases the risk <strong>of</strong> musculoskeletal injury in elderly obese women,<br />
particularly those over 70 years <strong>of</strong> age.<br />

Lifestyle treatments for obesity typically promote reductions in<br />
caloric intake coupled with increases in physical activity. However,<br />
few studies have investigated whether changes in physical activity<br />
provide health benefits beyond those associated with weight loss.<br />
The present study examined the impact <strong>of</strong> weight reduction and<br />
~ 121 ~<br />
increased physical activity on physical performance and metabolic<br />
risk factors for disease among 298 obese women (mean BMI<br />
= 36.8+5.0, mean age = 59.3+6.3 years) participating in a 6-<br />
month lifestyle intervention for obesity. Body weight, metabolic<br />
risk factors for disease, and physical performance as measured<br />
by the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), were assessed pre- and<br />
posttreatment. Participants achieved a mean reduction <strong>of</strong> 8.9<br />
+ 5.6 kg and experienced significant decreases in systolic blood<br />
pressure (-7.2 mmHg), LDL-cholesterol (-4.7 mg/dL), triglycerides<br />
(-18.8 mg/dL), and HbA1c (-.23%) and a mean increase on the<br />
6MWT <strong>of</strong> 75.4 feet. Change in weight was significantly associated<br />
with improvements on the 6MWT (r = -.32), and with decreases<br />
in systolic blood pressure (r = .18,), LDL-cholesterol (r = .20),<br />
triglycerides (r = .30), and HbA1c (r = .16). Hierarchical linear<br />
regressions showed that increases in the frequency <strong>of</strong> moderate<br />
physical activity contributed significantly to improvements in<br />
physical performance and two <strong>of</strong> four metabolic risk factors,<br />
beyond what was accounted for by weight loss. Increased physical<br />
activity predicted improvements in glycemic control (R square<br />
change = .039, p = .001), systolic blood pressure (R square change<br />
= .018, p = .03) and performance on the 6MWT (R square change<br />
= .014, p = .04). Collectively, these results suggest that increases<br />
in the frequency <strong>of</strong> moderate physical activity yield meaningful<br />
improvements in physical fitness and metabolic risk factors for<br />
disease, beyond the effect <strong>of</strong> weight loss. These findings underscore<br />
the importance <strong>of</strong> increased physical activity in the treatment <strong>of</strong><br />
obesity. Supported by NHLBI R18HL73326<br />

Introduction: The goals <strong>of</strong> this qualitative study were to: (1) better<br />
understand the attitudes and beliefs <strong>of</strong> mothers regarding factors<br />
that contribute to overweight in children, and (2) discover issues<br />
regarded by mothers as important to childhood overweight that<br />
are not being included in pediatric counseling approaches. In the<br />
future, the information learned from these interviews will be used<br />
to inform the development <strong>of</strong> effective weight-related counseling<br />
messages for pediatric health providers.<br />
Methods: Seventeen mothers, with at least one child, aged 4<br />
through 10 years, who is overweight, participated in open-ended,<br />
semi-structured interviews concerning factors that contribute to<br />
overweight in children. Interviews were audio-taped and transcribed<br />
verbatim. Transcripts were read independently by two researchers<br />
who identified salient themes raised by the interviewees.<br />
Results: Mothers identified a complex array <strong>of</strong> factors as<br />
contributory to childhood overweight. Mothers valued good<br />
nutrition and physically active lifestyles and viewed these issues<br />
as vital to children maintaining healthy weight. Parenting skills<br />
emerged as a key factor in managing child weight. Mothers

struggled with feelings <strong>of</strong> guilt, frustration, and fear <strong>of</strong> damaging<br />
their child’s self esteem, which complicated their efforts to make<br />
behavioral changes in their children.<br />
Conclusions: Parenting within the context <strong>of</strong> weight reduction is<br />
emotionally charged, and parents expressed a desire for empathetic<br />
guidance regarding “first steps” and where to start making healthy<br />
changes for their children. Unfortunately, some pediatric health<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals may feel unprepared to address parenting issues.<br />

EFFECTS OF PAIN CATASTROPHIZING ON ACUTE PAIN<br />
STIMULATION ARE MODERATED BY THE TENDENCY TO<br />
SUPPRESS THOUGHTS<br />

Studies show that people who tend to catastrophize about pain<br />
report greater pain intensity during pain than those who do not<br />
catastrophize. Pain catastrophizers may attempt to cope or control<br />
intrusive catastrophic thoughts and appraisals by suppressing<br />
them. According to an ironic process model, attempts to suppress<br />
catastrophic thoughts should make them paradoxically more<br />
salient. Thus, we expected pain intensity during and following<br />
acute pain induction to be greatest for those who tend to both<br />
catastrophize and suppress. 98 undergrads completed Wegner’s<br />
White Bear Suppression Inventory and the Pain Catastrophizing<br />
Scale, and completed a 4-min forearm ischemia pain task and<br />
a 2-min recovery. A Catastrophizing x Suppression x Period<br />
interaction was found [F(7,658)= 2.1; p 5.7;p’s3.3;p’s>.08).<br />
These findings suggest that pain catastrophizing leads to greater pain<br />
sensitivity during and following acute pain only among individuals<br />
who also tend to cope with catastrophic appraisals <strong>of</strong> pain by<br />
attempting to suppress them.<br />

THE EXPRESSION OF CATASTROPHIZING IN THE<br />
NATURAL WORD USE OF CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS<br />

The communal model suggests that pain catastrophizing serves<br />
the function <strong>of</strong> eliciting support through exaggerated pain<br />
expression. Previous research has demonstrated that catastrophizers<br />
communicate their distress through non-verbal behavioral cues.<br />
~ 122 ~<br />
By contrast, the present research examined how catastrophizing<br />
is directly expressed in people’s habitual vocabulary. Chronic pain<br />
patients (n = 73; mean age = 52 years, 52% female, 85% White)<br />
completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and were asked<br />
to write about their life with the condition and their deepest<br />
thoughts and feelings associated with it. Essays were examined via<br />
computerized text analysis, counting the frequency <strong>of</strong> words related<br />
to negative emotions (anxiety, sadness, anger), positive emotions,<br />
and cognitive mechanisms (causation, insight). Patients with high<br />
PCS scores used fewer positive emotion words (r = -.32, p < .01),<br />
and wrote about their pain using more words <strong>of</strong> sadness (r = .30, p<br />
= .01) and anger (r = .25, p < .05) than those with low PCS scores.<br />
Words pertaining to insight moderated the associations between<br />
emotion words and catastrophizing: the use <strong>of</strong> negative emotion<br />
words was most strongly related to high PCS scores (interaction<br />
term β = .48, p < .01), and the use <strong>of</strong> positive emotion words was<br />
most strongly related to low PCS scores (β = -.39, p < .10) in those<br />
patients who expressed a high degree <strong>of</strong> insight. Pain severity (r =<br />
.34, p < .01) and neuroticism (r = .40, p < .001) were also correlated<br />
with catastrophizing, together explaining 23% <strong>of</strong> the variance in<br />
PCS scores. Nevertheless, the combination <strong>of</strong> word categories still<br />
explained additional 15% in PCS scores when controlling for these<br />
global health indices in multiple regression. The results suggest<br />
that the words patients use are a unique marker <strong>of</strong> their tendency<br />
to catastrophize in response to their chronic pain. This may prove<br />
useful for understanding the social communicative nature <strong>of</strong><br />
catastrophizing, and how this coping strategy is developed and<br />
maintained in everyday life.<br />

Understanding the perceptions <strong>of</strong> those who participate in clinical<br />
research is critical to recruitment efforts. Previous research found<br />
participants perceived medical/social benefits and a desire to give<br />
back to society. Decision theory postulates that one will participate<br />
if expected benefits outweigh costs. We created a measure to collect<br />
reasons for participation in the context <strong>of</strong> a study <strong>of</strong> gynecological<br />
cancer survivors. Sociodemographic data were also collected.<br />
Women were survivors <strong>of</strong> endometrial(51%), ovarian(27%),<br />
cervical(18%) and vulvar cancer(4%). Overall accrual rate was<br />
88%. The sample (N=208) was primarily Caucasian(95%), with<br />
some college (M=14 years), and mean age 56 (SD=12years). The<br />
median household income was $48,000. Based on an extensive<br />
literature review, we generated a 15-item measure assessing reasons<br />
for participation. Participants responded on a four-point Likert-type<br />
scale (1=Strongly disagree;4=Strongly agree). An exploratory factor<br />
analysis yielded a two factor solution that showed a reasonable<br />
fit(RMSEA=.062). We named Factor 1 “Costs” (Cronbach’s<br />
alpha=.867). An example for “Costs” is “This study will take too<br />
much time to complete.” We named Factor 2 “Benefits” (Cronbach’s

suggested that pre-transplant emotional pr<strong>of</strong>iles are associated with<br />
transplant outcome and should be investigated further (Hoodin<br />
et al., 2006). One psychological variable that has been associated<br />
with more favorable short-term outcome is optimism (Lee et al.,<br />
2003). The present study examined the relationship between pretransplant<br />
optimism, pre-transplant quality <strong>of</strong> life, and transplant<br />
outcome (i.e., development <strong>of</strong> infections in the first 100 days<br />
post-transplant and mortality at five year follow-up). Participants<br />
included 52 patients undergoing HSCT. Participants completed a<br />
modified form <strong>of</strong> the Life Orientation Test-Revised and the SF-36<br />
prior to undergoing HSCT. Laboratory results were reviewed to<br />
determine the number <strong>of</strong> days with an infection in the first 100<br />
days post-transplant. The Social Security Death Index website was<br />
used to determine whether participants died within the first five<br />
years post-transplant. Results indicated that while neither pretransplant<br />
optimism nor pre-transplant quality <strong>of</strong> life was associated<br />
with mortality within the first five years, both were significantly<br />
associated with the development <strong>of</strong> infections, which in turn was<br />
associated with subsequent mortality (r=.30, p

Previous research has shown distinctions between nondirective<br />
(cooperating without “taking over”, accepting feelings and choices)<br />
and directive support (taking control, prescribing “correct” feelings<br />
and choices). Nondirective support has been associated with better<br />
disease management, quality <strong>of</strong> life, health behavior, and support<br />
satisfaction while directive support has been found to have negative<br />
associations or no associations with these outcomes. The current<br />
study examined concurrent and prospective relationships among<br />
nondirective support, directive support, support satisfaction, and<br />
overall program satisfaction in 32 overweight participants (82%<br />
female, 74% white) during a 12 week weight loss e-coaching<br />
intervention. Nondirective support at week 4 was associated with<br />
support satisfaction at week 8 (r = .70, p < .01) and week 12 (r =<br />
.68, p < .01). Turning to overall program satisfaction, measured<br />
at week 12, it was associated with nondirective support at weeks 4<br />
(r = .64, p < .01) and 12 (r = .44, p < .05) as well as with support<br />
satisfaction at weeks 8 (r = .60, p < .01) and 12 (r = .77, p <<br />
.01). Thus, close relationships were observed over time among<br />
nondirective support, support satisfaction, and overall program<br />
satisfaction. On the other hand, directive support at week 4 tended<br />
to be associated with lower support satisfaction at week 8 (r = -.41,<br />
p = .06) and less overall program satisfaction at week 12 (r = -.37,<br />
p = .08). However, directive support at week 12 was concurrently<br />
associated with greater overall program satisfaction at week 12 (r<br />
= -.41, p < .05), suggesting that, by program’s end, participants<br />
recognize some utility to directive as well as nondirective support<br />
over the course <strong>of</strong> a weight loss program.<br />

This study was designed to explore the various themes and concerns<br />
expressed by women undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast<br />
cancer. As part <strong>of</strong> a larger study, fifty-nine women undergoing<br />
adjuvant chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer completed a<br />
questionnaire on control, coping, and distress. The final page <strong>of</strong><br />
the questionnaire provided each subject with an optional writing<br />
section where they could describe and discuss their experience with<br />
~ 125 ~<br />
breast cancer and treatment. Of the fifty-nine participants in the<br />
study, thirty-one chose to complete the optional writing portion<br />
<strong>of</strong> the questionnaire. In examining the thirty-one writing samples,<br />
five major themes appeared to emerge: 1) benefit finding, or an<br />
attempt to identify some positive contribution from the cancer and<br />
chemotherapy experience, 2) faith, or an attempt to place these<br />
events into a spiritual context, 3) medical/ research-oriented issues,<br />
or an attempt to place these events in the broader social context<br />
<strong>of</strong> health and science, 4) social support, or the role family and/or<br />
friends played in their cancer and chemotherapy experience, and 5)<br />
negative affect, or describing feelings related to mood and/or anxiety<br />
that had emerged since diagnosis. Furthermore, t-test analyses<br />
indicated that women who chose to write differed significantly<br />
from those who chose not to write. Significant differences included:<br />
religious coping (p=.039), anxiety (p=.002), and the perception<br />
that others had control over the future <strong>of</strong> one’s cancer (p=.002).<br />
These observations suggest that many chemotherapy patients<br />
are attempting to cognitively and emotionally process a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> issues within the context <strong>of</strong> their treatment. Implications for<br />
psychotherapy and limitations are also discussed.<br />

PARENTING PRACTICES AND DIETARY FOOD GROUPS<br />
RELATE TO BMI OF HEAD START CHILDREN<br />
Frank Franklin, MD, PhD, Edmond K. Kabagambe, DVM, PhD<br />
and Richard Shewchuk, PhD, MCH,<br />

Obesity is more prevalent in low-income preschool childrena and<br />
tracks into adulthood. We assessed parenting practices, dietary<br />
intake (three 24-hour recalls) and BMI in 4 year old children and<br />
their mothers (n=715) in Head Start in Alabama and in Houston<br />
Texas. Obesity pevalence was high in these children (25%). Child<br />
BMI z-score correlated with intakes <strong>of</strong> sugar sweetened beverages<br />
(r=0.09) (p=0.01), lean meats (r= -0.08) (p=0.03), refined grains<br />
(r= -0.08) (p=0.04), a diet index composed by scoring the sum <strong>of</strong><br />
quartiles <strong>of</strong> these food groups (r= 0.14) (p=0.01) and a cluster <strong>of</strong><br />
parenting practices representing maternal control over eating healthy<br />
foods including requiring intake and denying sweets and play (r =<br />
- 0.09) (p= 0.02). In separate regression models, the diet index score<br />
and the parenting practices cluster were significantly associated with<br />
child BMI z-score. In a regression model with both the parenting<br />
practices cluster and the diet index score, both were significantly<br />
associated with child BMI z-score with minimal attenuation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
coefficient for the diet index score. We conclude that both parenting<br />
practices representing maternal control <strong>of</strong> healthy eating and high<br />
intake <strong>of</strong> sugar-sweetened beverages and low intakes f lean meats<br />
and refined grains contribute to child BMI. Interventions targeting<br />
increasing the use by parents <strong>of</strong> these strategies and decreasing the<br />
intake <strong>of</strong> sugar-sweetened beverages and increasing the intake <strong>of</strong><br />
lean meats and refined grains are likely to be effective in reducing<br />
obesity in low-income preschoolers.<br />

PHYSICALLY-ACTIVE IDENTITIES AMONG OLDER<br />
ADULTS: LINKS TO SELF- REGULATORY BELIEFS, INTENT<br />
AND ADHERENCE<br />

Spink, PhD<br />

Physical Activity (PA) <strong>of</strong>fers many health benefits to older adults yet<br />
few adhere sufficiently to achieve these. Two self-related variables<br />
linked to PA adherence are identity (ID) and self-efficacy (SE).<br />
According to ID Theory, ID provides a goal for behavior that<br />
motivates individuals to behave consistently with their ID. SE<br />
theory posits that SE beliefs are important in self-regulation <strong>of</strong><br />
goals. PA research with young adults shows that SE is related to<br />
achieving ID-exercise congruency such that when congruency is<br />
challenged, individuals with strong exercise IDs express greater selfregulatory<br />
efficacy and intentions for adherence. Thus, individuals<br />
seek a return to ID-exercise congruency. However, nothing is known<br />
about PA-ID and older adults’ exercise adherence. Using ID and<br />
SE theory, we examined PA-ID in understanding older adults’ PA<br />
adherence and related social-cognitions. Older adults with strong<br />
PA-IDs were hypothesized to report more activity and stronger PA<br />
social cognitions for adherence than lower ID counterparts. Eightyseven<br />
older adult exercisers (mean age = 80 yrs) completed measures<br />
<strong>of</strong> PA-ID, past exercise, self-regulatory efficacy and intentions for<br />
PA. A one-way between ID groups MANOVA was significant<br />
(Wilks’ = .60, p < .001). Follow-up tests revealed older adults<br />
with strong PA-IDs reported significantly more PA, stronger selfregulatory<br />
efficacy and intentions related to adherence than low ID<br />
counterparts (ps < .007). Findings suggest that older adults’ PA-ID<br />
may help understand individual differences in their PA adherence<br />
relative to their attempts to self-regulate adherence. Further, they<br />
support compatible use <strong>of</strong> ID and SE theories. Results are similar to<br />
PA-ID research with younger adults and add to qualitative findings<br />
with seniors.<br />

WHO BENEFITS MOST FROM PLANNING? A<br />
LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON INTENTIONS, PLANNING,<br />
AND INTERDENTAL HYGIENE<br />

Strategic planning is regarded as a valuable strategy to facilitate<br />
the translation <strong>of</strong> intentions into behavior, but empirical findings<br />
are inconsistent in terms <strong>of</strong> the strength <strong>of</strong> the indirect effect <strong>of</strong><br />
intentions on behavior via planning. Recent research suggests these<br />
heterogeneous findings to be due to an influence <strong>of</strong> intentions on<br />
the planning-behavior relation, i.e., those who have firm intentions<br />
may pr<strong>of</strong>it mostly from planning.<br />
This study aims to test (i) whether intentions are translated into<br />
behavior via planning (mediation), (ii) and whether this mediation<br />
effect is stronger in individuals with high intentions due to an<br />
influence <strong>of</strong> intention strength on the planning-behavior relation<br />
(moderated mediation). This is the first study to investigate effects<br />
<strong>of</strong> moderated mediation with regard to intentions, planning, and<br />
behavior.<br />
A longitudinal study on interdental hygiene was conducted with<br />
patients from dental practices (N = 209). At the first measurement<br />
point, intention, planning and sociodemographic variables were<br />
assessed. Three months later, the behavioral outcome was measured.<br />
Mediation was tested using bootstrapping, and analyses on<br />
moderated mediation were conducted using ordinary least squares<br />
regression analyses.<br />
Bootstrapping results confirmed that planning serves as a mediator<br />
between intentions and subsequent flossing behavior (β=.18).<br />
Moreover, intentions were found to moderate the mediation process<br />
(intention*planning; β=.13). The strength <strong>of</strong> the mediated effect<br />
was found to increase along with levels <strong>of</strong> intentions.<br />
Findings suggest that planning is beneficial for translating<br />
intentions into action and particularly effective for persons with<br />
high intentions to floss. Practical implications: While motivated<br />
individuals benefit from planning interventions, unmotivated<br />
ones should first receive persuasive messages to strengthen their<br />
intentions.<br />

study examined whether participation in a randomized clinical<br />

reduction. Using a parallel groups design, 819 Kentucky residents<br />

Prenatal genetic counseling aims to help clients make informed<br />
choices about invasive testing. An informed choice can be defined as<br />
understanding relevant information and choosing a course <strong>of</strong> action<br />
consistent with one’s attitudes that results in minimal decisional<br />
conflict or regret. The goals <strong>of</strong> this study were to determine the role <strong>of</strong><br />
attitudes and ambivalence in decisions about invasive prenatal testing<br />
and what their role predicts about interventions aimed at enhancing<br />
informed choices about testing. It was modeled on the theory <strong>of</strong><br />
planned behavior and measured attitudes, ambivalence, social norms,<br />
and intentions before and immediately following genetic counseling.<br />
Follow-up assessments 3-4 weeks later include test choice and<br />
decisional conflict as outcome measures. 154 women who were seen<br />
for prenatal genetic counseling in five different clinical settings around<br />
the US completed the first two assessments. For an initial analysis<br />
intentions was used as an outcome measure. The mean attitude score<br />
at baseline was 19.9/36 (demonstrating slightly negative attitudes<br />
toward undergoing invasive testing). After counseling it was 17.4/36,<br />
slightly positive (p=0.00). Ambivalence was 2.6/9 prior to counseling<br />
and remained at 2.5/9 following counseling. Intentions became more<br />
positive (p=0.00) following counseling, going from 6.1/12 to 6.3/12.<br />
Attitudes and ambivalence were correlated with intentions and predict<br />
68% <strong>of</strong> the variance. When the interaction between these variables<br />
was added to the regression model, the variables accounted for 70.8%<br />
<strong>of</strong> the variance. Attitudes were a strong predictor <strong>of</strong> prenatal testing<br />
decisions and ambivalence moderated the relationship between<br />
attitudes and intentions, reducing the likelihood <strong>of</strong> making informed<br />
choices. Thus, interventions aimed at reducing ambivalence should<br />
enhance informed choices about testing.<br />

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK, THEORY OF PLANNED<br />
BEHAVIOR, AND EXERCISE AMONG T2DM PATIENTS<br />

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are at increased risk for<br />
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite the substantial evidence<br />
showing the heart health benefits <strong>of</strong> long-term exercise for persons<br />
with T2DM, it is <strong>of</strong>ten an underutilized form <strong>of</strong> treatment. Little<br />
is known about T2DM patients’ estimation <strong>of</strong> CVD risk and<br />
its association with exercise. This study investigated CVD risk<br />
perception and the theory <strong>of</strong> planned behavior (TBP) as predictors<br />
<strong>of</strong> exercise among T2DM patients. The sample consisted <strong>of</strong> 126<br />
T2DM patients who were 68% female, 70% White, mean age <strong>of</strong><br />
56±12 yrs, and mean BMI 33±8. Oral hypoglycemic agents were<br />
the modal T2DM treatment (66%; insulin 7%; diet only 13%;<br />
combination therapy 11%).<br />
Patients reported a mean total score <strong>of</strong> 3.5±2.9 metabolic<br />
equivalents/day <strong>of</strong> exercise during the previous week. 31% <strong>of</strong><br />
patients reported no regular exercise and 58% <strong>of</strong> patients reported<br />
they did not receive exercise recommendations at every physician<br />
visit.<br />
Standard multiple regression was used to examine the significant<br />
predictors <strong>of</strong> exercise. Age, BMI, education, gender, CVD risk and<br />
TBP components were entered into the model simultaneously,<br />

HOSTILITY AND WELL-BEING: RELATIONS WITH SOCIAL<br />
SUPPORT, FORGIVENESS, ATTRIBUTIONAL STYLE, AND<br />
EMPATHY<br />
Benjamin Parker, MA, Kevin T. Larkin, PhD, Matthew Whited, BA<br />
and Amanda Wheat, BA<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Psychology, West Virginia University, Morgantown,<br />
WV.<br />
Within the field <strong>of</strong> positive psychology, an emphasis is placed on<br />
examining psychological factors that aid in maintaining overall<br />
health and facilitating prevention <strong>of</strong> problematic mental and<br />
medical health concerns. A substantial body <strong>of</strong> scientific literature<br />
has examined the relations among hostility, physical health, and<br />
psychological functioning. These investigations consistently report<br />
a positive relation between hostility and various problematic health<br />
concerns, particularly cardiovascular disease. The purpose <strong>of</strong> this<br />
study was to explore the relations among hostility and prominent<br />
psychological factors within positive psychology, including perceived<br />
social support, trait forgiveness, attributional style, and empathy.<br />
The sample for this study included 239 participants, 152 females<br />
and 87 males. As males endorsed a significantly higher level <strong>of</strong><br />
hostility than females, analyses were conducted separately for males<br />
and females. For males, hostility was significantly negatively related<br />
to social support (r = -.265, p < .05) and forgiveness (r = -.397, p <<br />
.01). For females, hostility was also significantly negatively related<br />
to social support (r = -.174, p < .05) and forgiveness (r = -.411, p <<br />
.01); however, for females, hostility was also significantly positively<br />
associated with a pessimistic attributional style (r = .274, p < .01).<br />
Empathy was not significantly correlated with hostility for either<br />
gender. These results suggest that individuals with higher levels <strong>of</strong><br />
hostility may be less likely to gain the benefits from psychology<br />
factors that promote health and overall well-being.<br />

A well supported framework for assessing the emotional experience<br />
<strong>of</strong> groups is Bion’s theory <strong>of</strong> group behavior. Group behavior is<br />
viewed as interplay between the emotions <strong>of</strong> the group and the<br />
tasks <strong>of</strong> the group. Developing a reliable system to document the<br />
emotions <strong>of</strong> the group can help identify relationships between group<br />
emotions and emotional expression. It can further identify the type<br />
<strong>of</strong> affect (i.e. positive or negative) most beneficial for improving<br />
patient outcomes. Therefore, this research describes a group emotion<br />
coding system developed from the Group Emotionality Rating<br />
System by Karterud and colleagues and Stock and Thelen’s research<br />
based on Bion’s theory <strong>of</strong> group behavior. This coding system was<br />
tested on five experiential learning groups at a Neuropsychiatric<br />
Institute in the western United States. The groups were recorded<br />
and each verbal behavior was assigned an emotional code. Results<br />
<strong>of</strong> the coding system are presented in terms <strong>of</strong> overall agreement,<br />
specific agreement, Kappa statistics and correlations. Involvement<br />
and the role <strong>of</strong> subgroups are discussed as well as application to<br />
cancer support groups.<br />

EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A<br />
GROUP EMOTION CODING SYSTEM<br />
Erin Rothwell, PhD<br />
College <strong>of</strong> Nursing, University <strong>of</strong> Utah, Salt Lake City, UT.<br />
Emotional expression has received increased support for improving<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> psychological and physiological patient outcomes<br />
specifically in cancer survivorship. For example, Dr. Giese-Davis<br />
and colleagues examined the role emotional expression in cancer<br />
patients and found positive correlations to cancer incidence and<br />
progression. A widely used mechanism to facilitate emotional<br />
expression for cancer patients is support groups. Yalom identified<br />
that it is the therapist’s goal to create a group climate that promotes<br />
therapeutic interactions, not to directly influence each patient. Yet,<br />
most research on emotional expression has neglected the emotions<br />
<strong>of</strong> the group climate. Groups are an emotional experience and a<br />
healthy end to an emotional experience is emotional expression.<br />
Identifying group emotions that facilitate this process can help<br />
classify group factors that speed or enhance the therapeutic process.<br />

DOWNTOWN:<br />
Arguably the entertainment center <strong>of</strong><br />
the city, downtown is the crossroads <strong>of</strong><br />
the theatre, restaurant, business and<br />
museum experience. From edgy and<br />
classic productions to touring Broadway<br />
shows - Woolly Mammoth, Shakespeare,<br />
National, Warner and Ford’s theatres - are<br />
within easy walking distance. Museums<br />
abound including the International Spy<br />
Museum, National Building Museum,<br />
the Marian Koshland Science Museum<br />
and the National Museum <strong>of</strong> Women in<br />
the Arts. A wide variety <strong>of</strong> hotels along<br />
with the stylish and spacious Washington<br />
Convention Center call downtown home.<br />
Chinatown is marked most noticeably<br />
by the “Friendship Arch” that was built<br />
cooperatively by the Washington city<br />
government and its sister city, Beijing<br />
and secondarily by the Chinese marks<br />
that adorn businesses from traditional<br />
Chinese restaurant mainstays and more<br />
contemporary shops like Benetton and<br />
Aveda. Penn Quarter is a moniker for an<br />
area <strong>of</strong> downtown that has witnessed a<br />
“rags-to-riches” transformation including<br />
luxury condos rising above historic<br />
facades.<br />

LAFAYETTE SQUARE:<br />
When it was named, Lafayette Square<br />
was a place <strong>of</strong> elegance, refinement<br />
and power – adjacent to the White<br />
House. Today it showcases buildings with<br />
dramatic architecture along with statues<br />
and sculptures whose fascinating stories<br />
reflect the history <strong>of</strong> the city and the<br />
nation. Prominence is the order <strong>of</strong> the<br />
day in this area <strong>of</strong> town, which is home<br />
to the Corcoran Gallery <strong>of</strong> Art, founded<br />
nearly 150 years ago for the purpose<br />
<strong>of</strong> “encouraging American genius”;<br />

SHAW/U STREET:<br />
The birthplace <strong>of</strong> Duke Ellington and the<br />

nightlife for much <strong>of</strong> the 20th century is<br />
once again thriving. Many neighborhood<br />
haunts are gathering spots, from the<br />
new Bohemian Busboys & Poets (named<br />
for Langston Hughes) to the landmark,<br />
soulful Ben’s Chili Bowl (Bill Cosby loves<br />
the half-smokes). On weekend nights, U<br />
Street rivals Adams Morgan for crowds,<br />
though with a slightly older vibe. “The<br />
cutting edge <strong>of</strong> what this city is and can<br />
be,” U Street is also equally intriguing<br />
by day, home to the African American<br />
Civil War Memorial, Lincoln Theatre<br />
and Howard University. Designer homefurnishings<br />
stores, boutiques and music<br />
clubs abound near the junction <strong>of</strong> 14th<br />

Information for the Runner/Walker<br />
The following is a short guide to Running<br />
in DC. This group <strong>of</strong> runs cover fairly safe<br />
areas, and are near the downtown areas.<br />
Washington is a wonderful place to run.<br />
The low-rise nature <strong>of</strong> the city makes DC<br />
less congested when compared with other<br />
major cities. Most <strong>of</strong> the normal running<br />
areas within the city are great, and safe.<br />
NOTE--Running through the more touristy<br />
areas will keep you from going astray.<br />
The tourist areas are safe and heavily<br />
patrolled by the multitude <strong>of</strong> police<br />
departments within Washington. Running<br />
in the monumental areas, downtown,<br />
Georgetown, Rock Creek Park, and across<br />
the bridges into Virginia would be my<br />
suggestions. Some <strong>of</strong> the ‘bad’ areas <strong>of</strong><br />
DC are fairly close to the tourist areas,<br />
so keep aware <strong>of</strong> your surroundings.<br />
I have never had a problem while<br />
running anywhere in the city. However,<br />
Washington is a city. And with cities<br />
anywhere you need to keep aware <strong>of</strong><br />
what is going on around you a bit more<br />
than when running in your backyard.<br />
Inauguration Run<br />
One popular course is to recreate the<br />
Presidents steps if they were a runner<br />
and allowed to run the Inauguration.<br />
Beginning near the White House, get<br />
onto Pennsylvania Avenue heading east.<br />
Follow Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol<br />
Building, entering the road through the<br />
grounds at the point where Pennsylvania<br />
Avenue dead-ends. This road will follow<br />
a gentle arc up Capitol Hill to the back<br />
side. You can either stay in the parking<br />
lot behind the building, or head over to<br />
the first road, which is Second Street. On<br />
Second Street you will pass the Supreme<br />
Court and the Library <strong>of</strong> Congress.<br />
Continue around the Capitol Building and<br />
back down the road through the grounds<br />
on the other side <strong>of</strong> the building you<br />
came up. Head back over to Pennsylvania<br />
Avenue and back towards the White<br />
House. This road has nice wide shoulders<br />
to hold the Inauguration bleachers, so<br />
~ 135 ~<br />
there is plenty <strong>of</strong> running room <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> the<br />
road surface. Finishing back at the White<br />
House gives a run <strong>of</strong> about 3.5 miles.<br />
Twin Bridges Run<br />
The Bridges Run makes a loop <strong>of</strong> the 14th<br />
Street and Memorial Bridges, across the<br />
river into Virginia. This run has one <strong>of</strong><br />
the best views <strong>of</strong> the monuments in DC.<br />
The run can be run in either direction,<br />
so choose you route according to the<br />
wind direction. The Virginia shoreline<br />
has a bike trail, while in DC the East<br />
and West Potomac Parks road or nearby<br />
sidewalks are better than the sidewalk<br />
next to the sea wall. Both bridges have<br />
large sidewalks, but the Memorial Bridge<br />
sidewalk is much preferable. The sidewalk<br />
alongside the Virginia bound lanes <strong>of</strong> the<br />
14th Street Bridge are narrow and directly<br />
next to the heavy traffic on the bridge.<br />
The fumes from the cars can get bad,<br />
and is disconcerting to run next to highspeed<br />
traffic, even if you are protected<br />
by a cement barrier. Many runners prefer<br />
to use Memorial Bridge, head toward<br />
National Airport on the trail, and do an<br />
out-and-back course.<br />
The Mall Run<br />
The Mall has been called the nation’s front<br />
yard. It is also the nation’s playground,<br />
including scads <strong>of</strong> runners. Numerous<br />
runners can be seen trundling up and<br />
down the Mall, day and night. Staying on<br />
the traffic-free pea gravel pathways <strong>of</strong> the<br />
center sections provide a s<strong>of</strong>t surface and<br />
spectacularly patriotic views. Framed on<br />
each end by the Lincoln Memorial and the<br />
other by the Capitol Building, there are<br />
always numerous sights to be seen. The<br />
run is generally flat, except for the hills<br />
going up past the Washington Monument<br />
and up Capitol Hill. The Mall is bigger<br />
than it looks, with it being about 3 miles<br />
from the Capitol to Lincoln. The trails here<br />
are lit at night, so if a nighttime run is<br />
necessary, this is a good location. Much <strong>of</strong><br />
the Marine Corps Marathon is run up and<br />
down the Mall.<br />
Burdette Road Quad Burner<br />
Near the River Road interchange with<br />
the Beltway is Burdette Road. If you are<br />
looking for a tough hill workout, here<br />
it is. Not a road to run at night, as it is<br />
narrow and dark, the continuous upward<br />
rolls <strong>of</strong> this road make for a quad-burning<br />
run. The South end <strong>of</strong> the road is at River<br />
Road, while the North end is at Greentree<br />
Road a little past Bradley Blvd.

The Capital Crescent Trail<br />
A new addition to the running paths<br />
<strong>of</strong> Washington is the Capital Crescent<br />
Trail. Located on an abandoned railroad<br />
bed, the trail looped through Maryland’s<br />
suburbs just outside the DC line from<br />
Bethesda to above Georgetown. The trail<br />
is an eight-mile long, flat, smooth surface<br />
that is generally shaded with more and<br />
more bridge crossings over the busy<br />
roads. The trail gets heavy usage from<br />
bike commuters, so keep to the right.<br />
You can access the North end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Capital Crescent in Bethesda <strong>of</strong>f Bethesda<br />
Avenue. The South end <strong>of</strong> the trail has a<br />
few miles that parallel the Potomac River<br />
and the C&O Towpath.<br />
Glover Archbold Trail<br />
Another north-south trail through North-<br />
West DC, Glover-Archbold is much less<br />
known or developed. Glover-Archibald<br />
runs from the Georgetown waterfront<br />
to the Van Ness area <strong>of</strong> Washington,<br />
running through a mostly wild stream<br />
valley. On the north end, you can connect<br />
with Rock Creek by running east on<br />
Van Ness Road until you hit the Melvin<br />
Hazen spur <strong>of</strong> Rock Creek Park at 34th<br />
Street and Tilden. Heading out the other<br />
direction, you can connect to Battery<br />
Kemble Park<br />
The C&O Canal Towpath<br />
Beginning in Georgetown, the C&O<br />
heads west for 186 miles, so this could<br />
be a fine location for your long run. A<br />
packed dirt trail, it generally is next to the<br />
river and is flat and fairly smooth. The<br />
two major floods <strong>of</strong> 1996 submerged<br />
the trail, but work is on-going to repair<br />
the damage. The Towpath is one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
quickest ways to escape the bustle <strong>of</strong> the<br />
city, at times getting fairly remote. The<br />
first group runs for the M@Deads were on<br />
the Towpath from Fletcher’s Boathouse.<br />
There are water fountains during the<br />
summer for much <strong>of</strong> the early sections <strong>of</strong><br />
the trail. The C&O Canal Towpath is also<br />
popular with biking groups.<br />
Teddy Roosevelt Island<br />
Accessible from Virginia along the George<br />
Washington Parkway, Teddy Roosevelt<br />
is an island preserved as a memorial<br />
to the President who created the first<br />
National Park. A fitting memorial for this<br />
Roosevelt, the island also provides some<br />
excellent running opportunities. While<br />
only 88 acres, the trails looping the island<br />
are very runnable trails through near<br />
wilderness within the city. Occasionally,<br />
you will be greeted with monumental<br />
views <strong>of</strong> Washington. These trails,<br />
especially the well-named Swamp Trail,<br />
can be very moist after rains.<br />
The W&OD Regional Park<br />
Another converted railway line, the<br />
W&OD (Washington and Old Dominion)<br />
is a flat 42 mile long trail through<br />
Northern Virginia. Beginning in the urban<br />
Arlington and heading out <strong>of</strong> town to the<br />
rural areas <strong>of</strong> Loudoun County near the<br />
mountains.<br />

Healthy Eating Tips for the SBM<br />
Traveler<br />
Tips for Eating Out<br />
You can eat out and eat healthy, too.<br />
Many restaurants <strong>of</strong>fer delicious meals<br />
that are low in saturated fat, trans fat and<br />
cholesterol. That’s good news for your<br />
health because a diet high in saturated<br />
and trans fats raises blood cholesterol.<br />
High blood cholesterol is a major risk<br />
factor for heart disease, and it’s also a risk<br />
factor for stroke.<br />
~ 136 ~<br />
When eating out, ask which type <strong>of</strong> fat<br />
the restaurant uses. Try to replace the<br />
saturated and trans fats in your food with<br />
more healthful unsaturated oils. Canola,<br />
olive and corn oil are among the most<br />
desirable. Request s<strong>of</strong>t and trans-fat-free<br />
margarine.<br />
Equally important is the portion size.<br />
Help control your weight by asking for<br />
smaller portions, or sharing entrees with a<br />
companion.<br />
A guide to choosing healthy meals<br />
away from home<br />
• Fried, au gratin, crispy, escalloped, panfried,<br />
sautéed or stuffed foods are high in<br />
fat and calories. Instead, look for steamed,<br />
broiled, baked, grilled, poached or roasted<br />
foods. If you’re not sure about a certain<br />
dish, ask your server how it’s prepared.<br />
• Even if dishes low in saturated fat and<br />
cholesterol aren't on the menu, you may<br />
still be able to get a healthy meal, because<br />
many restaurants will prepare foods to<br />
order. If you’re not sure about a particular<br />
restaurant, phone before you go.<br />
• High-sodium foods include those that are<br />
pickled, in cocktail sauce, smoked, in broth<br />
or au jus or in soy or teriyaki sauce. Steer<br />
clear <strong>of</strong> these.<br />
Make Healthy Food Choices<br />
Fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes tend<br />
to be low in fat and have no cholesterol.<br />
Most are also good sources <strong>of</strong> dietary fiber,<br />
complex carbohydrates and vitamins. The<br />
American Heart Association suggests that<br />
you eat foods high in complex carbohydrates<br />
and fiber. (Some kinds <strong>of</strong> soluble fiber, such<br />
as pectin and oat bran, when eaten in large<br />
amounts in a diet low in saturated fat, may<br />
reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol).<br />
The American Heart Association suggests<br />
eating 25–30 grams <strong>of</strong> dietary fiber per day.<br />
Here are some tips for healthy eating:<br />
• Coconut is high in saturated fat; olives<br />
and avocados are high in monounsaturated<br />
fat and calories. Use these items sparingly<br />
to avoid getting too many calories from fat.<br />
• When vegetables, grains or legumes are<br />
cooked or processed, saturated fats or<br />
cholesterol are <strong>of</strong>ten added. For instance,<br />
egg yolks may be added to breads or<br />
pastas.<br />
• Canned, processed and preserved<br />
vegetables also may contain added sodium.<br />
And in some people, too much sodium<br />
(salt) can lead to high blood pressure. Some<br />
food companies are canning vegetables

with less salt. "No salt added" varieties are<br />
also available. Look for these in the market<br />
or choose fresh or frozen vegetables.<br />
•Nuts and seeds tend to be very high<br />
in fat and calories, but most <strong>of</strong> the fat<br />
is polyunsaturated or monounsaturated<br />
(e.g., walnuts, almonds, pecans). Some<br />
varieties, such as macadamia nuts, are also<br />
high in saturated fat, so check the label.<br />
Nuts and seeds don’t have cholesterol and<br />
are good sources <strong>of</strong> protein.<br />
Cooking with fats and oils<br />
• Canola, corn, olive, safflower, sesame,<br />
soybean and sunflower oils are low in<br />
saturated fat. They're good to use in<br />
limited amounts for cooking or dressings.<br />
• Peanut oil has slightly more saturated<br />
fat. Don't use it as a major cooking oil.<br />
You can use it now and then for flavoring.<br />
• Vegetable oils are hydrogenated<br />
for use in margarines or shortenings.<br />
Hydrogenation adds trans fat, which may<br />
partly <strong>of</strong>fset some <strong>of</strong> the benefits <strong>of</strong> using<br />
polyunsaturated or monounsaturated<br />

Cholesterol, fiber and oat bran<br />
Most Americans consume only about half<br />
the fiber they need each day. Dietary fiber<br />
is the term used for several materials that<br />
make up the parts <strong>of</strong> plants that your<br />
body can’t digest. Fiber is classified as<br />
either soluble or insoluble. When regularly<br />
eaten as part <strong>of</strong> a diet low in saturated<br />
fat and cholesterol, soluble fiber has been<br />
shown to help lower blood cholesterol,<br />
thus reducing the risk <strong>of</strong> coronary heart<br />
disease. A high-fiber diet may also<br />
help reduce the risk <strong>of</strong> diabetes and colon<br />
and rectal cancer. The American Heart<br />
Association recommends that you eat<br />
foods high in both soluble and insoluble<br />
fiber. Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain foods,<br />
beans and legumes are all good sources <strong>of</strong><br />
dietary fiber.<br />
Read the labels on all packaged foods,<br />
especially commercial oat bran and wheat<br />
bran products. Many <strong>of</strong> these (muffins,<br />
chips, waffles) actually contain very little<br />
bran. They may also be high in sodium,<br />
calories and saturated fat.<br />
Adding fiber to your diet may be easier<br />
than you think. Here are some tips that can<br />
help you get started:<br />
• Replace low-fiber foods (white bread,<br />
white rice, candy and chips) with high-fiber<br />
foods (whole-grain bread, brown rice, fruits<br />
and vegetables).<br />
• Try to eat more raw vegetables and<br />
fresh fruit, including the skins when<br />
appropriate. Cooking vegetables can<br />
reduce their fiber content, and skins are a<br />
good source <strong>of</strong> fiber.<br />
• Eat high-fiber foods at every meal. Bran<br />
cereal for breakfast is a good start, but try<br />
to include some fruits, vegetables, wholegrains<br />
and beans in your diet as well.<br />
• When food isn't enough, you can take<br />
a dietary fiber supplement.<br />
• Be sure to increase your fiber intake<br />
gradually, giving your body time to<br />
adjust, and drink at least six to eight 8-<br />
oz. glasses <strong>of</strong> fluids a day.<br />
Foods high in soluble fiber — These<br />
include oat bran, oatmeal, beans,<br />
peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits,<br />
strawberries and apple pulp.<br />
Foods high in insoluble fiber — These<br />
include whole-wheat breads, wheat<br />
cereals, wheat bran, cabbage, beets,<br />
carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips,<br />
cauliflower and apple skin.<br />
Checklists for Eating Out<br />
Other considerations<br />
What about breakfasts?<br />
Breakfast menus can be loaded with<br />
high-saturated-fat items like bacon and<br />
sausage. So the next time you want a<br />
healthy breakfast, consider:<br />
• Fresh fruit<br />
• Fruit juice<br />
• English muffin with jelly, jam or<br />
margarine<br />
• Whole-grain toast with honey or jam<br />
• Bagel with jam or reduced-fat cream<br />
cheese<br />
• Whole-grain cereals with fat-free milk<br />
(but watch out for high-fat granolas!)<br />
• Whole-grain waffle with fresh fruit<br />
• Fat-free or low-fat yogurt<br />
• Omelet or scrambled eggs using egg<br />
substitute or egg whites<br />
• Lean ham or Canadian bacon<br />
• Low-fat cottage cheese (great on toast<br />
with jam!)<br />
• Hot cereals such as oatmeal, grits,<br />
cream <strong>of</strong> wheat or cream <strong>of</strong> rice<br />
What about prepared take-home<br />
entrees?<br />
It’s a challenge to eat tasty, nutritious<br />
meals when you’re racing against the<br />
clock. Many supermarkets and specialty<br />
stores <strong>of</strong>fer prepared entrees to take<br />
home when you’re in a rush.<br />
Guess what? The same tips listed here<br />
for restaurant foods apply to prepared<br />
~ 137 ~<br />
take-out foods. Here are some good<br />
choices for side dishes to add to your<br />
prepared entrees:<br />
• Salad with fat-free or low-fat dressing<br />
• Fresh, cut-up or cooked vegetables<br />
• Bread or rolls<br />
• Fruit for dessert<br />
Choosing or evaluating restaurants<br />
When you call ahead or look over the<br />
menu, ask these questions. Does (or will)<br />
this restaurant...<br />
• Take special food preparation requests?<br />
• Prepare food without MSG or salt?<br />
• Serve dressings and sauces on the side?<br />
• Serve margarine rather than butter with<br />
the meal?<br />
• Serve fat-free or 1% milk (rather than<br />
whole milk)?<br />
•Prepare a dish using vegetable oil (canola,<br />
olive, corn, soy, sunflower, safflower) or<br />
s<strong>of</strong>t margarine made with vegetable oil?<br />
• Trim visible fat from meat and remove<br />
the skin from poultry before cooking?<br />
• Broil, bake, steam or poach rather than<br />
fry foods?<br />
• Leave all butter, gravy or sauces <strong>of</strong>f<br />
entrees and side dishes?<br />
•Serve fruit, ices, sherbet or fat-free or<br />
low-fat frozen yogurt for dessert?<br />
Again, don't be shy about making a special<br />
request. Most foods on the menu will<br />
probably fit into a heart-healthy diet if<br />
prepared with low-fat ingredients and less<br />
salt. <strong>Final</strong>ly, watch portion sizes. Split an<br />
appetizer entrée or dessert with a friend or<br />
ask for a take-home box.<br />
Don't feel intimidated about asking for<br />
what you want. And if your food isn't<br />
prepared as you requested, send it back.<br />

Description/Mission Statement:<br />
The Aging SIG is focused on addressing the special issues <strong>of</strong><br />
behavior change among older adults, with a particular focus on<br />
the influence <strong>of</strong> cultural, environment and policy factors. There<br />
is a tendency to focus behavior change issues and challenges on<br />
the children and adults who are assumed to be those who will<br />
reap the greatest long term benefit from changes. Older adults,<br />
particularly those with chronic health problems, can likewise<br />
gain a significant benefit from behavior change particularly<br />
with regard to quality <strong>of</strong> life issues. The workgroup focused<br />
on Aging has identified the need and interest in exploring the<br />
ways in which older adults, particularly older adults with chronic<br />
illnesses, can alter behavior to promote health and quality <strong>of</strong> life.<br />
The research considering behavior change among older adults<br />
has been sparse and it is not clear what types <strong>of</strong> interventions<br />
have the greatest impact at different periods <strong>of</strong> time (i.e.<br />
the young-old versus the old-old), and when faced with the<br />
many challenges associated with aging. Moreover, the cultural<br />
influence <strong>of</strong> health promotion and what is expected <strong>of</strong> older<br />
individuals at different life points is also not well addressed. The<br />
goals <strong>of</strong> this workgroup are to develop a symposium that focuses<br />
on: Lessons Learned in Facilitating Behavior Change During<br />
Transitions Points in Older Adults with Chronic Illness. Papers<br />
will include the work <strong>of</strong> group members in cardiac rehabilitation,<br />
dialysis, with older adults post hip fracture, and with adults<br />
transitioning into retirement.<br />

Complementary and Alternative <strong>Medicine</strong><br />
Contact Information: Jean L. Kristeller, PhD:<br />
pykris@isugw.indstate.edu<br />
Description/Mission Statement:<br />
According to the National Center on Complementary and<br />
Alternative <strong>Medicine</strong> (NCCAM) <strong>of</strong> the National Institutes <strong>of</strong><br />
Health, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) refers to<br />
a broad range <strong>of</strong> healing approaches that mainstream Western<br />
(conventional) medicine does not commonly use, accept, study,<br />
understand, or make available.<br />
This special interest group provides a forum for discussion<br />
<strong>of</strong> CAM, as defined by the NCCAM <strong>of</strong> the NIH, as it relates<br />
to behavioral medicine, with a particular emphasis on the<br />
integrative nature <strong>of</strong> such modalities, by themselves and in<br />
conjunction with other modalities <strong>of</strong> biopsychosocial care.<br />
In particular, the CAM SIG will promote understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
the underlying behavioral and psychological processes and<br />
application <strong>of</strong> CAM approaches; attitudes toward use and<br />
delivery <strong>of</strong> CAM; and use <strong>of</strong> CAM with special populations, in<br />
the context <strong>of</strong> culturally traditional healing, and in regard to<br />
public health policy. CAM SIG membership does not imply or<br />
endorse the individual’s ability to practice CAM modalities.<br />

Description/Mission Statement:<br />
The Multiple Risk Behavior Change Special Interest Group aims<br />
to contribute to development <strong>of</strong> a science <strong>of</strong> multiple behavior<br />
change for health promotion and disease management.<br />
Intervening on multiple behaviors presents a unique set <strong>of</strong><br />
challenges. The group will address theoretical, methodological,<br />
intervention, statistical, and funding issues related to targeting<br />
multiple risk behaviors for change. Relevant risk behaviors may<br />
include, but are not limited to, tobacco and other drug use,<br />
physical inactivity, nutrition, HIV-risk behaviors, sun exposure,<br />
and stress. Our cross-disciplinary group is designed to enhance<br />
the pr<strong>of</strong>essional development <strong>of</strong> its members by fostering<br />
networking, mentorship, career development, and scientific<br />
discussion.<br />

Pain<br />
Contact Information: Peter A. Brawer, PhD:<br />
pbrawer@lifespan.org<br />
Description/Mission Statement:<br />
Millions <strong>of</strong> people suffer from painful conditions, with<br />
wide-ranging physical, psychological, social, and economic<br />
consequences. Alleviation <strong>of</strong> these <strong>of</strong>ten devastating<br />
consequences requires continuing research and development<br />
efforts from the biological, psychological and social sciences.<br />
Our current understanding <strong>of</strong> biopsychosocial factors in pain<br />
perception and management is largely based on interdisciplinary<br />
research and clinical practice. Interdisciplinary efforts have<br />
accounted for significant contributions to the understanding<br />
<strong>of</strong> pain, including, the Gate-Control Theory, the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> a cognitive behavioral perspective <strong>of</strong> pain, and the role <strong>of</strong><br />
learning and conditioning in pain. The goal <strong>of</strong> the Pain SIG is to<br />
advance the understanding <strong>of</strong> pain and its treatment, according<br />
to a biopsychosocial framework. This will be accomplished<br />
through: 1) increasing interdisciplinary communication, 2)<br />
promoting research, 3) providing education and training for<br />
both researchers and clinicians, 4) mentoring students and<br />
young pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, 5) and providing a forum for collaboration<br />
between interested individuals and groups.<br />

<strong>of</strong> relevance to the physical activity field; 2) provide a format for<br />
both formal and informal networking among SBM members with<br />
physical activity interests; and 3) serve as a forum for advancing<br />
the behavioral physical activity field, through developing<br />
submissions for the SBM conference, providing an avenue for<br />
mentoring junior investigators with physical activity interests,<br />
and identifying appropriate individuals interested in serving as<br />
reviewers for relevant scientific journals, NIH study sections, and<br />
SBM program submissions. The members <strong>of</strong> the Special Interest<br />
Group in Physical Activity have compiled a list <strong>of</strong> members who<br />
are experienced manuscript reviewers and are active in the area <strong>of</strong><br />
physical activity and health, and we are making this list available<br />
to interested journal editors. People on the list come from a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> disciplines and have a variety <strong>of</strong> research interests. All <strong>of</strong><br />
those listed have expressed a willingness to review manuscripts.<br />
We hope this list will assist you in finding qualified reviewers<br />
for manuscripts dealing with this rapidly growing field that is<br />
becoming a central concern for the health <strong>of</strong> the population. This<br />
list will be updated annually.<br />
Spirituality and Health<br />
Contact Information: Carl E. Thoresen, PhD:<br />
cthor@stanford.edu<br />
Description/Mission Statement:<br />
Spiritual matters have always been linked to human health. All<br />
major religions, for example, typically prescribe or prohibit a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> health-related behaviors and beliefs. Examples include rules<br />
against smoking, no or limited use <strong>of</strong> alcohol (and other drugs),<br />
and regular care <strong>of</strong> the body (e.g., routine exercise, nutritious<br />
diets, good sanitary habits). Why this concern with health? Part <strong>of</strong><br />
the reason is because the body and its well being, along with the<br />
mind and spirit, are <strong>of</strong>ten viewed as a gift <strong>of</strong> God (some would say<br />
God’s Temple) or a higher or universal power or spirit. In this sense<br />
all human life is sacred and must be cared for. Until recently the<br />
possible links <strong>of</strong> spiritual and religious factors to health, broadly<br />
viewed, were essentially ignored or unstudied. Empirical studies<br />
in the past two decades however have demonstrated significant<br />
associations over time <strong>of</strong> selected spiritual and religious factors<br />
with important health and disease outcomes (e.g., less all-cause<br />
mortality; higher subjective well-being). An emerging theme is that<br />
any causal relationships with health, if existing, is more indirect<br />
and distal in nature (e.g., as mediating or moderating factors).<br />
The Spirituality and Health Special Interest Group (SHG) seeks<br />
to encourage and support well-designed empirical research that<br />
sheds clarifying light on what processes are at work. Research can<br />
more clearly identify and clarify in what ways spiritual and religious<br />
factors may influence health, positively or negatively. Findings<br />
can also bear on ways to make pr<strong>of</strong>essional health care practices<br />
more effective. Of particular concern is the need to provide upto-date<br />
accurate information and training, since few pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
training programs in health <strong>of</strong>fer adequate preparation on<br />
spiritual matters. In North America and in some other areas <strong>of</strong><br />
the world, the majority <strong>of</strong> people with health issues and problem<br />
are spiritually involved or religiously active. Health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
and scholars need to better understand the connections between<br />
health, disease and spiritual matters.<br />
