Racial Misclassification of American Indian and Alaska Native People in the Electronic Medical Record: An Unexpected Hurdle in a Retrospective Medical Record Cohort Study

Racial Misclassification of American Indian and Alaska Native People in the Electronic Medical Record: An Unexpected Hurdle in a Retrospective Medical Record Cohort Study

In a retrospective cohort study that examined longitudinal cigarette smoking behaviors of Indigenous people in Olmsted County, Minnesota—a county without access to Indian Health Service clinics or hospitals—the magnitude of racial misclassification in electronic health record (EHR) data became an unexpected hurdle for the study team [3]. Most AI/AN people reside in urban areas or off reservation lands [4]. Understanding this population’s health behaviors is critical to informing interventions.

Use of Live Community Events on Facebook to Share Health and Clinical Research Information With a Minnesota Statewide Community: Exploratory Study

Though Facebook is used as a platform for community engagement, the literature regarding its use to disseminate information about both research and health topics is still in its infancy [5,6]. Developing a Facebook community and using social networks to build engagement for health promotion and CTS content has been recognized as a valuable endeavor [7].

Improvements in Diet and Physical Activity–Related Psychosocial Factors Among African Americans Using a Mobile Health Lifestyle Intervention to Promote Cardiovascular Health: The FAITH! (Fostering African American Improvement in Total Health) App Pilot Study

Improvements in Diet and Physical Activity–Related Psychosocial Factors Among African Americans Using a Mobile Health Lifestyle Intervention to Promote Cardiovascular Health: The FAITH! (Fostering African American Improvement in Total Health) App Pilot Study

Allicock et al [31] demonstrated that a stand-alone, mobile app–based intervention to encourage healthy diet and PA behaviors among African American survivors of breast cancer led to a significant reduction in sedentary time and fast food intake. Another culturally tailored, internet-based intervention for PA promotion as an adjunct to in-person PA sessions resulted in a significant reduction in sedentary behaviors among African American women [38].
