involved.

Principal Investigator: Karen Yeary. Duration: 2012-2013 Integrating Culture, Behavior, and Biology to Increase Minority Representation in Cancer Disparities Research

(Know HOW). (1 P20 MD002329-01). National Institutes of Health-NIMHD. Paul Green, Ph.D. (Co-PI)


This community-based participatory project refined and pilot tested a culturally appropriate, theory-guided

behavioral intervention addressing risks common to multiple diseases (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular

disease) to promote full participation in translational research examining behavioral and biological

processes associated with breast cancer disparities. The intervention’s materials and methods were

developed from a previous NIH-funded qualitative study (Community Perspectives on Health Behavior and

Chronic Illness (POW-WOW)) and were refined for pilot testing in the study. The primary measure of

research participation was the proportion of women attending the public service program who provided a

blood sample to examine measures of metabolic dysregulation. The proportion of women who authorized

release of program records to document completion of mammography and mammography results for

research purposes also were monitored as a secondary measure of research participation.

Principal Investigator: Karen Yeary. Duration: 2011-2012 Development and Implementation of a Community Health Center-based data warehouse for systematic, state-

wide breast cancer screening. Arkansas Cancer Coalition.


The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health,

UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, and the Community Health Centers of Arkansas, Inc.

(CHCA) worked together to create a data warehouse that consolidates information from four Community

Health Center’s (CHCs) Electronic Health Records (EHR). The data warehouse will document cancer and

screening disparities among underserved Arkansans, and identify CHC patients overdue for breast cancer

screening for referral to the UAMS Cancer Institute to facilitate system-wide screening.

Sciences (UAMS) Ob/Gyn faculty, residents, students, and patients to develop an intervention designed to

reduce provider racial bias and improve empathetic communication. Surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus

groups will be used to collect the data.

Co-Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2009 Pilot Study of Recruitment Procedures for R21 Study of Racial Discrimination and Birth Outcomes. Grant from

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Kate Stewart, M.D. (PI)


This observational study piloted recruitment procedures for research that will subsequently be proposed in

an NIH R21 application. This future study will include clinic-based surveys of pregnant women and follow-

up interviews, using telemedicine, with women reporting experiences of racial discrimination (EOD). These

data will be used to develop, and test the feasibility of using telemedicine to implement, a stress

management intervention to address stress from EOD during pregnancy.

Co-Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2009 Examining African American Women’s Perspectives about their Pregnancy that resulted in a Low Birth Weight

Baby. (P20 NR009006-01). Tailored Biobehavioral Interventions Research Center a P20 grant through the National

Institute of Nursing Research, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Sarah Rhoads, Ph.D. (PI)

01). National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. Rhonda Henry-Tillman, M.D. (PI).

Award amount: $2,483,642 The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to test whether a culturally appropriate approach will be

more effective than a standard approach to encourage colorectal screening through fecal occult blood test

(FOBT). Both are hypothesized to increase screening rates compared to the control. The project utilizes a

community-based participatory approach and targets two underserved counties in the Arkansas Delta,

specifically Northeast (Mississippi County) and Southeast (St. Francis County).

Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2007-2009. Adaptation and Translation of Evidence-Based Weight Loss Methods and Materials for a Faith-Based, Rural,

African American Adult Population (The WORD). (1 P20 MD002329-01). National Institutes of Health-NIMHD.

Award amountU: $60,000

The purpose of the pilot was to develop and pre-test materials and methods for a faith-based weight loss

intervention culturally adapted for rural African American adults. Data from female and male church-goers

were gathered through 4 focus groups (1 group with pastors, 1 group with church leaders, 1 group with

Sunday School teachers, 1 group with parishioners) to cultural adapt, with a faith-based emphasis,

preexisting materials and methods from current evidence-based obesity programs. The feasibility of the

intervention was then piloted in 3 churches. Community members were trained to deliver the intervention as

lay health advisors.


Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2007-2008. Community Perspectives on Health Behavior and Chronic Illness (POW-WOW). (U01 CA114607-03S2A1).

National Institutes of Health-NCI.

Award amountU: $50,000 Community Perspectives on Health Behavior and Chronic Illness was a community-based participatory

pilot that employed focus group methodology to create culturally appropriate recruitment materials to

promote participation in clinical breast cancer prevention research examining associations between

sociocultural factors, indicators of metabolic syndrome (e.g. obesity, triglycerides, blood glucose), and

biological factors in breast cancer etiology. Eight focus groups of African American and Caucasian women

were conducted to create faith-based, culturally appropriate recruitment materials and methods. The

feasibility of the recruitment materials will be tested in the currently funded Integrating Culture, Behavior,

and Biology to Increase Minority Representation in Cancer Disparities Research. Data from this pilot and

Integrating Culture, Behavior, and Biology to Increase Minority Representation in Cancer Disparities

Research will be used to test the efficacy of these recruitment materials in clinical breast cancer research

participation through a future randomized, controlled trial.

Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2005-2008. The WORD, United States Department of Agriculture, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

UAward amountU: $90,000 The WORD was a faith-based, participatory program to develop partnerships with the faith community to

improve the health of the Lower Mississippi Delta Arkansas faith community. A Faith Task Force of

religious leaders and community organizations representing 42 counties of the Arkansas Lower Mississippi

Delta was assembled and served as a collaborative partner in conducting a health assessment of local

churches. Priorities of healthy weight, nutrition, and physical activity were identified.

Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2003-2005. The WORD, W.K. Kellogg Community Health Scholars Program, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

UAward amountU: $20,000 The WORD was a faith-based, participatory action weight control program to improve the health of the

Jordan Grove faith community. In collaboration with the health ministry community advisory and action

teams, community assessment surveys and formative research were conducted to inform a quasi-

experimental, multi-level weight control intervention. Participant baseline and follow-up, community level

indicators, and process measures were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the 8-week program on

changing weight, eating habits, and physical activity.

UUPrincipal InvestigatorU: Karen Kim. Duration: 2001-2003. Religion and Health in Tompkins County, Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University.

Award amountU: $2,000 Religion and Health in Tompkins County was a project that examined the relationships between body

weight, nutrition, physical activity, and health in a random sample of religious groups in Tompkins County.

The goal of the study was to better understand how faith was connected to various aspects of health and

health behaviors, including psychosocial measures. In collaboration with religious leaders, Dr. Kim Yeary

distributed approximately 1000 questionnaires and two follow-up mailings to 20 religious groups.

Principal Investigator: Karen Kim. Duration: 2001-2003. Religion, Body Weight, Body Image, and Dieting. (DK07158). National Institutes of Health

Award amountU: $6,000 The Religion, Body Weight and Dieting project examined relationships between religion, body weight,

body image, and dieting. Dr. Kim Yeary identified a nationally representative data set with relevant

variables (National Survey of Midlife Development (MIDUS)) and established a relationship with one of

the original data collectors (Dr. Elaine Wethington) to design an appropriate analysis strategy.

Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences This course is designed to help the learner develop the fundamental understanding and skills necessary to

implement program planning, implementation, and evaluation irrespective of setting. It provides both

theoretical and practical information in program development and community-based participatory research.

The course provides an overview of community-based participatory research and methods; describes health

disparities and social determinants of health; introduces models for health education and health promotion

programs; conducts a simulated needs assessment and describes the parameters related to

qualitative/quantitative measures, samples, and data collection; and reviews health behavior theories and

models and links application of theory to intervention activities. Community guest lecturers are
