FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 15, 2010 CONTACT: Sirch Chanthyasack, MBA The Laotian American National Alliance (LANA) would like to express our love and support to the people of Haiti, Haitian American community and the Haitian diaspora suffered from the worst earthquake to hit the area in more than 200 years. We are personally and deeply sorry for your loss. On Tuesday, a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Entire communities have been ripped apart and as many as 3 million people have been directly affected. This is a tragic human disaster that continues to unfold even as relief efforts make their way to the country’s capital. This could possibly be one of the most devastating global natural disasters in recent history, potentially rivaling Southeast Asia’s tsunami in 2004, which killed more than 200,000 people.

Background information eMAPA is a NIH/NINR funded study (1R01NR010568-01) entitled "Ethnic Specific Midlife Women's Attitudes Toward Physical Activity". The changing racial and ethnic makeup of the U.S. will require health professionals to practice with cultural competence in areas such as promotion of physical activity, where cultural beliefs may mediate health promotion behaviors. Although the benefits of physical activity are now widely accepted, midlife women, especially ethnic minority women, have low participation rates in physical activity, and prevalence rates of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, and all-cause mortality among ethnic minority women (that can be effectively reduced by increasing physical activity) have been reported to be much higher than those of White midlife women. A plausible reason for the low participation rate is that the women's ethnic-specific attitudes toward physical activity have rarely been incorporated into relevant interventions. The purpose of this study is to explore attitudes of midlife women from four ethnic groups [Hispanic, Non-Hispanic (N-H) White, N-H African Americans, and N-H Asians] toward physical activity while considering the relationships between their attitudes and their actual participation in physical activity within the ethnic-specific contexts of their daily lives. Data will be gathered via Internet survey and ethnic- specific online forums to allow for a national sample. |
