RESUMO

South Asian (SA) Americans have a high risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Prevention efforts should start in childhood and should be culturally appropriate. We sought to understand the challenges and barriers that pediatricians face in providing care for SA children to inform professional education on culturally effective care. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a diverse sample (N = 17) of pediatricians. Challenges reported included feeding problems, inadequate physical activity, and mental health concerns. Communication barriers included parents' anxiety around feeding, influence of grandparents, stigma around mental health, and cultural communication gaps. Effective strategies included clear communication, a gradual approach, ensuring buy-in from grandparents, greater attention to family history, and improved cultural knowledge in pediatrician. Addressing feeding problems was the most mentioned challenge, which is especially concerning given the high chronic disease risk in SAs. Education on culturally appropriate strategies can equip pediatricians to effectively counsel SA families to address these risks.

RESUMO

There are few stroke education programs focused on the South Asian population in the United States. The South Asian Health Awareness about Stroke (SAHAS) program was developed to provide culturally appropriate stroke education to South Asians from 2014 to 2017. Participants recruited for the SAHAS program were educated through a uniquely developed, culturally-specific, educational presentation. Each participant was asked to complete identical educational questionnaires both before (pre-) and after (post-) the intervention, which were then scored and evaluated. Overall, the 357 participants who completed the SAHAS program had a significant, modest 9% improvement in questionnaire score (p < 0.0001). After adjusting for confounders, those ≤ 60 years had a 2.9-point greater increase in score than those > 60 (p < 0.0001). Having programs targeted and developed for specific minority groups with an emphasis on familial commitment and active participation may aid in raising awareness and reducing the elevated adverse stroke outcomes in South Asians.

RESUMO

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) remains a problem in the United States as reactivation leads to active TB disease particularly in persons with risk factors. The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes and health behaviors related to testing and treatment of LTBI among non-US-born South Asians (SA) in New Jersey (NJ). A cross-sectional, community-based survey was the primary tool for gathering data. Eligibility criteria included being at least 18 years of age, self-identifying as SA, verbal consent for participation, and birth in a high TB endemic country. A hardcopy survey was distributed at local South Asian health fairs. The survey included questions about demographics, knowledge, beliefs on TB, and health behaviors (testing and treatment). Descriptive statistics were performed for all survey responses. Logistic regression models were constructed to assess the association of characteristics/beliefs and study outcomes. The survey sample size included 387 respondents. A total of 197 (54%) of respondents reported ever been tested for TB. Those who were tested for TB were generally younger, had higher educational levels, higher household incomes, and were more likely to have health insurance than those not ever tested for TB. Significantly more respondents who self-reported ever been tested for TB believed that TB was very or extremely serious (71.1% vs. 56.2%, p = 0.004). Also, significantly more respondents who self-reported ever been tested for TB believed that it was important to get tested (91.2% vs. 63.3%, p < 0.001). The survey analysis concluded that high-risk SA residents in NJ demonstrated a low rate of testing for TB.
