This book was released on 2001 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction. Women in ethnic minority groups and women with low socioeconomic status have higher mortality rates from cancers than non-minority women or those from higher socioeconomic classes. Higher rates of morbidity and mortality from cancer may be attributable, in part, to lower levels of health promoting behaviors, such as having a diet low in vegetables and fruits. The purpose of this study was to compare average daily consumption of vegetables and fruits between low income African American and Hispanic women; to examine differences on diet related cancer control attitudes, beliefs and behaviors; and to examine the relationship of demographic, sociocultural and diet-related cancer control attitudes, beliefs and behaviors with the average daily consumption of vegetables and fruit among African American women. Methods. A two-stage, cluster sampling procedure was used to acquire a convenience sample of 124 African American women for this cross-sectional study. Results were then compared to results of a concurrent survey of 102 Latinas in the Por La Vida Cuidándome study. Telephone interviews were conducted to complete questionnaires which included a 24-hour diet recall from which the primary outcomes for this study were calculated. Results. There were differences in self-reported vegetable and fruit consumption between the groups. African American women consumed a mean of 3.9 (s.d. 1.23) servings per day while Latinas consumed a mean of 5.6 (s.d. 0.77) servings per day in a 24-hour period. Variety of vegetables and fruits consumed differed as well, with African Americans women averaging 3.1 and Latinas, 3.6 types of vegetables and fruits per day. Groups differed with respect to diet-related cancer attitudes, beliefs, behaviors. Multivariate modeling, using recruitment group as the unit of analysis, indicated that perceived ease of diet change, frequency of eating a healthy diet, being Latina and marital status predicted vegetable and fruit consumption, and variety of vegetable and fruit after adjusting for age and socioeconomic status. Conclusion. Interventions may be necessary to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and change behaviors to increase vegetable and fruit consumption among low-income African American women.

Download or read book Body Image and Disordered Eating Patterns in African-American College Women written by Amazing Grace L. Danso and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, increasing scholarly attention is being given to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating. A bulk of the research on the issue has focused on Caucasian women. As a result, the body of research may be limited in its generalization to other racial and ethnic groups. This study, therefore, sought to study disordered eating among African-American college women. Two models based on research questions were tested. The first focused on how body mass index (BMI) impacted disordered eating, while the second focused on how the difference between perceived actual and ideal body image impacted disordered eating. Self-esteem was tested as a mediating factor for both models. Data were collected from a total sample of 21 African-American women from a large, private university on the east coast. Findings suggested that African-American college women had high self-esteem and a perceived actual and ideal body image that were similar. Results also demonstrated a low prevalence of eating disorders among this population, even though more than half of participants demonstrated a potential risk for developing an eating disorder. These findings have implications for counseling and student care centers by shedding light on typical attitudes about body image within this demographic and the eating behaviors that follow as a result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: Eating disorders, a serious public health issue, affect an estimated 8-11 million Americans (Hudson, Hiripi, Pope & Kessler, 2007; National Institutes of Mental Health [NIMH], 2010). The lack of inclusion of diverse minority populations from robustly-designed eating disorder research has produced limitations to the generalizability for theory-based prevention, diagnosis, and treatment programs, particularly among non-Caucasian populations. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine eating and exercise behaviors among student-athletes enrolled at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) through application of existing disordered eating, exercise dependence, and body image instruments. Participants: A battery of surveys was disseminated to 601 varsity level athletes enrolled at HBCUs, of which 71% (N = 427) were used in the analysis. Outcomes and Procedures: The main outcomes of interests were eating disorder (ED) risk, exercise dependence (ExD) risk, and orthorexia nervosa (ON) risk, and difference between perceived and ideal body stature. These outcomes were operationalized through application of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS-21), ORTO 15 questionnaire (ORTO 15), and Pulvers and colleagues' (2004) Figural Stimuli. Regression (Logistical and Simple), chi-square, ANOVA/ANCOVA, and simple descriptive statistical analyses served as quantitative means of measurement. Results: Findings revealed that among HBCU student-athletes in this study, 10.8% were at risk for an ED, 10.3% were at risk for ExD, and 66.3% were at risk for ON. With respect to ED and ON risk, between group differences did not exist among most men's sports, while race and academic classification group differences were present among several women's sports. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) construct, attitude, exhibited the largest influence on future intentions to engage in disordered eating among both male (p = .005) and female (p = .001) participants. Significant differences between ideal and perceived body stature exist among female subjects (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents a series of insightful discussions centered around the concept of identity as the key to understanding how racial minorities define reality, experience changes in racial consciousness, and perceive themselves and the world around them. This volume brings together many influential thinkers, writers, scholars, and researchers who tell a story that is deeply embedded in American society and still unfolding. The chapters are concise, well written, and presented in a sequence that captures the power and vision of Clark's testimony, rationale, methodology, and subsequent discoveries, which have altered the landscape of psychology. This volume is a must read for laypeople, students and professionals from a range of disciplines including psychology, social work, law, theology, ethics, sociology, and American history who will be impressed by the power and scope of the deeply probing analyses. This volume examines the continuing reality of racism but takes us beyond conceptions of "damage" to illuminate the strengths and resilience of African American culture. In a fitting tribute to Kenneth B. Clark, the contributors treat the cultural and historical context of racial identity as essential for a psychological analysis"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of its kind, this edited volume provides in-depth, culturally sensitive material intended for addressing the unique concerns of Black women with eating disorders in addition to comprehensive discussions and treatment guidelines for this population. The contributing authors—all of whom are Black professionals providing direct care to Black women—offer a range of perspectives to help readers understand the whole experience of their Black female clients. This includes not only discussion of their clients’ physical health but also of their emotional lives and the ways in which the stresses of racism, discrimination, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences can contribute to disordered eating. Through a wealth of diverse voices and stories, chapters boldly tackle issues such as stereotypes and acculturative stress. Clinicians of any race will gain new tools for assessing, diagnosing, and treating disordered eating in Black women and will be empowered to provide better care for their clients.

Download or read book The Developmental Psychopathology of Eating Disorders written by Linda Smolak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although eating problems--ranging from body dissatisfaction and dieting to anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa--can begin and typically have their roots in childhood, theory and research in developmental psychopathology and developmental psychology have not received substantial attention in eating disorders research. This book provides crucial background material from both fields, and then makes direct applications to numerous aspects of the field of eating disorders including theory, research, treatment, and primary prevention. This book was born out of a transaction between frustration and optimism. The frustrations reflected the limitations of current knowledge about eating problems and disorders. Etiological "causes" which are sensitive and specific to eating disorders have been elusive. Although there is some understanding of risk factors, little is known about protective factors. This has made prevention, among other things, difficult. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying the association between risk factors and disordered eating are poorly understood. For example, it is known that women are at greater risk than men are, but clinicians are hard- pressed to get beyond gender-based speculations and demonstrate why this is true. The optimism grows from familiarity with the field of developmental psychopathology. It seems evident that this approach has much to offer the field of eating disorders. This book is an early step in the integration of developmental psychopathology into theorizing, research, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders. It addresses four specific goals: * to introduce the principles and methodologies of developmental psychopathology, * to review the work of developmental psychologists in several major areas of behavior relevant to understanding the causes, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders, * to apply developmental psychopathology principles to the area of eating disorders, both in the form of theoretical models and in specific areas/issues raised by developmental psychopathology, and * to discuss the implications of developmental approaches for prevention programs and treatments.

This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the relationship between culture and psychopathology to determine if proposed psychological risk factors ( low ethnic identification and high level of acculturative stress) are predictive of several key mental health variables related to suicide and eating disorder behaviors (depression, anxiety, suicidality, body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness) in individuals of African descent in the U.S. Results confirm the hypothesis that low ethnic identification attitudes (low African Self-fortification) interacts with acculturative stress to predict greater suicidality in African American men while a low value for African Centered Relationships predicts Drive for Thinness in African American women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with normal eating patterns eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. But people struggling with binge eating relate very differently to this most basic need, often risking depression, gastrointestinal problems, and even death because of their problems with food. The Appetite Awareness Workbook offers an eight-week, cognitively based program to help you learn to pay attention to hunger cues, keep track of your feelings about food, and develop an eating schedule that discourages binge eating. In a series of easy exercises, the book guides you toward taking control of eating habits. First, gradual changes help you eat only when hungry or when a mealtime is scheduled. Then, awareness exercises help you stop eating when moderately full. Finally, by using cognitive techniques to control the tendency to eat for emotional reasons and journaling exercises to stay motivated and on track, you'll learn how to retrain yourself to maintain normal and healthy eating habits for life.

Download or read book Eating Disorders in Black Women written by Nancy Adegoke and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women are often viewed as being less susceptible to disordered eating behaviors and negative body image due to the different beauty standards within the culture. Beauty ideals are considered more flexible and challenge the standards set by mainstream or westernized society and thus it is assumed that Black women are less susceptible to eating disorders. However, these beliefs no longer hold true in various segments of Black society. Current research shows that Black women also fall prey to eating disorders and body dissatisfaction and that a cultural shift on this issue seems to be taking place. The intention of this book is to explore factors such as acculturation and skin color dissatisfaction in the development of disordered eating behaviors among Black women. This research will highlight the complex relationship between cultural identity and eating disorders among Black women. It also challenges prevailing assumptions regarding Black women and eating disorders and illustrates the need to further examine the etiology of eating disorders among Black women.
