Change in health behaviors requires motivation on the part of the individual. The aim of this article is to compare elements of the motivation process across cultures. A secondary aim is to determine whether a Western model of behavior change for health promotion, such as the PRECEDE-PROCEED model, can be applied to Asian populations. An integrative review and critical analysis of research literature was done by reviewing 20 studies with observational survey design and 6 integrative literature reviews. Findings show that the motivation process is similar for Eastern and Western cultures, but the motivators are different. The findings identify 10 motivators, congruent with Asian culture, that would allow the PRECEDE-PROCEED model to be used in Asian settings.

Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) respond to infections and tumors by producing IFN-γ. Although RAR-related orphan receptor α (RORα) is required for ILC2s and some ILC3s, its role in ILC1 development remains controversial. To investigate the role of RORα in ILC1s, we analyzed bone marrow (BM) chimeras of RORα-deficient mice.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is associated with neurocognitive impairment, and routine cognitive and academic screening is recommended. Traditional reports following testing are often not health literate, limiting the usefulness of evaluations. This study investigated whether a small "passport" summarizing results and recommendations would be helpful in increasing understanding of results and follow-through on recommendations.
