Article Synopsis
  • - By 2050, Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases in the U.S. are expected to rise significantly, making it essential to explore preventive strategies, such as physical activity (PA), to potentially reduce or delay AD onset.
  • - This study involves a randomized clinical trial with middle-aged adults who have a family history of AD, comparing a 12-month PA intervention group with a control group to assess impacts on cognitive function, APOE4 genetic status, and brain health.
  • - Researchers hypothesize that participants engaging in PA will show better cognitive performance, with changes influenced by APOE4 status, and aim to identify biomarkers that may mediate the relationship between PA and cognitive function.

The purpose of our study was to explore HIV testing behaviors and attitudes among young Black women ages 18-24 years in southern North Carolina (N =17) using a semi-structured interview based on the Socio-Ecological Model. The findings showed that individual, interpersonal, social, and organizational factors contributed to participants' testing behaviors and attitudes. Understanding the factors that influence attitudes and intention for HIV testing among young Black women will inform the development of culturally congruent prevention interventions and programs.
