  • Interventions for African American Male Youth With Internalizing Symptoms of Depression, Anxiety and Traumatic Stress: A Comprehensive Review
    Rabiatu E. Barrie, Shalena Heard Wade, Chinedu U. Obioha, Nedelina Tchangalova, Naomi M. Whitaker
    Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, 2026
    African American male youth have experienced substantial increases in suicidality and self‐harm over the past 15 years, signalling rising rates of internalizing symptoms such as anxiety, depression and traumatic stress. Despite these trends, research involving African American boys and young men has focused disproportionately on externalizing behaviours, leaving clinicians, educators and mental health professionals with limited guidance regarding evidence‐based interventions for internalizing concerns. This comprehensive review summarizes and evaluates the existing intervention literature targeting anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress among African American male youth and provides recommendations for diagnosis and treatment. A systematic search of nine databases, including Academic Search Ultimate, CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, SocINDEX and Scopus, was conducted from database inception through 15 September 2025. Studies were included if they evaluated interventions targeting internalizing symptoms among African American male youth. Six studies met inclusion criteria from 8693 unique records. All included studies employed quantitative methodologies and used pre‐post intervention designs to assess treatment outcomes. Findings suggest that cognitive behavioural therapy and adapted forms of cognitive behavioural interventions may reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and traumatic stress among African American male youth. However, the small number of eligible studies highlights a significant gap in the intervention literature. Additional culturally responsive intervention research is urgently needed to strengthen the evidence base and improve diagnosis, treatment and mental health service delivery for African American male youth experiencing internalizing symptoms.
  • Association between smoking cessation and risk for type 2 diabetes, stratified by post-cessation weight change: A systematic review and meta-analysis
    Yifan Yu, Yan Li, Thu T. Nguyen, Dahai Yue, Nedelina Tchangalova, Caitlin E. Flouton, Hongjie Liu
    Preventive Medicine, 2026
    While smoking cessation reduces health risks, its impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains complex when considering post-cessation weight gain. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between smoking cessation and diabetes risk stratified by weight change and cessation duration. We searched seven databases through April 14, 2025. Observational studies examining smoking cessation, weight changes, and T2DM were included. Random-effects models pooled hazard ratios (HRs) comparing recent and long-term quitters to continuous/never smokers, stratified by weight gain. Among eleven cohort studies, quitters with weight gain showed increased diabetes risk versus continuous smokers (HR = 1.71, 95 % CI: 1.12, 2.62), with recent quitters having greater risk (HR = 2.20, 95 % CI: 1.27, 3.82) but long-term quitters showing reduced risk (HR = 0.91, 95 % CI: 0.87, 0.95). Quitters without weight gain demonstrated no increased risk (recent: HR = 0.99, 95 % CI: 0.81, 1.02) and lower risk (long-term: HR = 0.84, 95 % CI: 0.81, 0.87). Compared to never-smokers, recent quitters had a higher T2DM risk regardless of weight status (with gain: HR = 1.61, 95 % CI: 1.03, 2.50; without gain: HR = 1.25, 95 % CI: 1.05, 1.48), while long-term quitters showed no significant difference. Smoking cessation temporarily increases T2DM risk, particularly with weight gain, but becomes protective long-term, emphasizing weight management. • Weight gain after smoking cessation increases type 2 diabetes risk by 71 %. • Recent quitters with weight gain face highest but temporary diabetes risk. • Long-term cessation protects against diabetes regardless of weight status. • Weight-stable quitters avoid increased risk and gain long-term protection. • Weight management should be integrated into smoking cessation programs
  • Multilevel Racism and Discrimination and Cardiovascular Disease and Related Biopsychosocial Mechanisms: An Integrated Scoping and Literature Review and Future Research Agenda
    Danielle L. Beatty Moody, Elizabeth J. Pantesco, Ayla Novruz, Nedelina Tchangalova, Richard C. Sadler, Kellee White Whilby, Jason Ashe, Gilbert C. Gee, LaBarron K. Hill, Shari R. Waldstein
    Current Cardiology Reports, 2025
    Purpose of Review In the last two decades, empirical research has significantly advanced our understanding of the link between discrimination and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This integrated scoping and narrative literature review delineates the extant peer-reviewed research on discrimination and clinical and subclinical CVD in samples that include Black adults, using a multilevel conceptualization of race-related discrimination and racism. We also identify potential intermediary mechanisms in the racism-CVD relationship and propose a comprehensive future research agenda. Recent Findings Using the Population, Exposure and Outcome framework and PRISMA guidelines, we identified 37 empirical reports for inclusion drawn from 1900 to 2024. The bulk of the literature has focused on discrimination and racism that occurs at the interpersonal level (28 studies), while a smaller but growing body of work has examined cultural (5 studies) or institutional and structural-level racism and discrimination (4 studies) in relation to CVD risk. The majority of these studies show that greater exposure to discrimination or racism is associated with increased clinical or subclinical CVD risk. Potential pathways include societal, environmental, psychological, and biological factors; however, few studies have conducted formal tests of mediation. Summary The literature suggests robust relations of multilevel racism and discrimination to manifestations of CVD across diverse exposure and outcome measures in Black adults. Our recommendations to eliminate cardiovascular health inequities in Black communities include enhancing academic scholarship training, securing targeted and protected funding, and adopting more robust methodological approaches.
  • Microbial and Chemical Water Quality Assessments Across the Rural and Urban Areas of Nepal: A Scoping Review
    Suhana Chattopadhyay, Alex Choiniere, Nedelina Tchangalova, Yunika Acharya, Amy R. Sapkota, Leena Malayil
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2025
    Nepal is currently facing critical water quality challenges due to urbanization, water management and governance issues, as well as natural disasters. This has resulted in the presence of harmful contaminants (e.g., pathogens, nitrates, arsenic) across multiple water sources, subsequently leading to waterborne disease risks (e.g., cholera and typhoid). In response to these environmental and public health concerns, we conducted a scoping review to assess microbial and chemical contaminants in drinking and irrigation water in Nepal, as well as their potential impacts on public health. Following the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA-SCR guidelines, we systematically searched for peer-reviewed literature on Nepal’s water quality in seven databases. Of 3666 unique records screened using predefined inclusion criteria, 140 met our criteria. The studies encompassed a variety of methodological designs, with the majority focusing on water sources in the Bagmati province. Bacteria and arsenic emerged as the most prevalent contaminants. Additionally, diseases such as arsenicosis and typhoid remain widespread and may be linked to contaminated water sources. The review identified key gaps in Nepal’s water quality management, including limited geographic research coverage, inconsistent testing protocols, weak regulatory enforcement, and a lack of integration of water quality with public health planning. Our findings underscore the urgent need for effective surveillance systems and a robust regulatory framework to promptly respond to water contamination events in Nepal.
  • How “Race” Is Used in U.S. Peer-Reviewed Studies of Cardiovascular Health and Cardiorespiratory Fitness: A Scoping Review
    Tori Justin, Shannon Jette, Nedelina Tchangalova
    Kinesiology Review, 2025
    In this scoping review, we examine whether and how race is used to explain differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and/or cardiovascular health (CVH) among racial/ethnic populations living in the United States in peer-reviewed research. Searching eight databases from their inception, and informed by the Population, Concept, and Context framework, our search yielded 232 studies (N = 232) published in English. Seventy-eight percent of included studies (n = 181) did not define race; 45% (n = 105) positioned White participants as the standard for CVH and CRF metrics, and only 7% (n = 17) of the studies used sociocultural explanations to discuss possible mechanisms of racial differences in CRF and CVH outcomes. Findings are interpreted as an indication of how “white logic” informs research pertaining to CRF and CVH. A series of recommendations are provided to help kinesiological scholars avoid reductionist characterizations of “race” through their research, thus better aligning with the National Academy of Kinesiology’s social justice mission.

  • The impact of telehealth in sepsis care: A systematic review
    Kevin J Tu, Cole Wymore, Nedelina Tchangalova, Brian M Fuller, Nicholas M Mohr
    Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 2025
    Objectives Sepsis is associated with significant mortality. Telehealth may improve the quality of early sepsis care, but the use and impact of telehealth applications for sepsis remain unclear. We aim to describe the telehealth interventions that have been used to facilitate sepsis care, and to summarize the reported effect of telehealth on sepsis outcomes. Data Sources We identified articles reporting telehealth use for sepsis using an English-language search of PubMed, CINAHL Plus (EBSCO), Academic Search Ultimate (EBSCO), APA PsycINFO (EBSCO), Public Health (ProQuest), and Web of Science databases with no restrictions on publication date. Study Selection Included studies described the use of telehealth as an intervention for treating sepsis. Only comparative effectiveness analyses were included. Data Extraction and Synthesis Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, two investigators independently selected articles for inclusion and abstracted data. A random-effects subgroup analysis was conducted on patient survival treated with and without telehealth. Results A total of 15 studies were included, involving 188,418 patients with sepsis. Thirteen studies used observational study designs, and the most common telehealth applications were provider-to-provider telehealth consultation and intensive care unit telehealth. Clinical and methodological heterogeneity was significantly high. Telehealth use was associated with higher survival, especially in settings with low control group survival. The effect of telehealth on other care processes and outcomes were more varied and likely dependent on hospital-level factors. Conclusions Telehealth has been used in diverse applications for sepsis care, and it may improve patient outcomes in certain contexts. Additional interventional trials and cost-based analyses would clarify the causal role of telehealth in improving sepsis outcomes.
  • Disparities in Toxic Chemical Exposures and Associated Neurodevelopmental Outcomes: A Scoping Review and Systematic Evidence Map of the Epidemiological Literature
    Devon C. Payne-Sturges, Tanya Khemet Taiwo, Kristie Ellickson, Haley Mullen, Nedelina Tchangalova, Laura Anderko, Aimin Chen, Maureen Swanson
    Environmental Health Perspectives, 2023
    BACKGROUND: leading scientists, health professionals, and advocates, is working to protect children from these toxic chemicals and pollutants, especially the disproportionate exposures experienced by children from families with low incomes and families of color. OBJECTIVE: This scoping review was initiated to map existing literature on disparities in neurodevelopmental outcomes for U.S. children from population groups who have been historically economically/socially marginalized and exposed to seven exemplar neurotoxicants: combustion-related air pollution (AP), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), organophosphate pesticides (OPs), phthalates (Phth), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). METHODS: Systematic literature searches for the seven exemplar chemicals, informed by the Population, Exposure, Comparator, Outcome (PECO) framework, were conducted through 18 November 2022, using PubMed, CINAHL Plus (EBSCO), GreenFILE (EBSCO), and Web of Science sources. We examined these studies regarding authors' conceptualization and operationalization of race, ethnicity, and other indicators of sociodemographic and socioeconomic disadvantage; whether studies presented data on exposure and outcome disparities and the patterns of those disparities; and the evidence of effect modification by or interaction with race and ethnicity. RESULTS: Two hundred twelve individual studies met the search criteria and were reviewed, resulting in 218 studies or investigations being included in this review. AP and Pb were the most commonly studied exposures. The most frequently identified neurodevelopmental outcomes were cognitive and behavioral/psychological. Approximately a third (74 studies) reported investigations of interactions or effect modification with 69% (51 of 74 studies) reporting the presence of interactions or effect modification. However, less than half of the studies presented data on disparities in the outcome or the exposure, and fewer conducted formal tests of heterogeneity. Ninety-two percent of the 165 articles that examined race and ethnicity did not provide an explanation of their constructs for these variables, creating an incomplete picture. DISCUSSION: As a whole, the studies we reviewed indicated a complex story about how racial and ethnic minority and low-income children may be disproportionately harmed by exposures to neurotoxicants, and this has implications for targeting interventions, policy change, and other necessary investments to eliminate these health disparities. We provide recommendations on improving environmental epidemiological studies on environmental health disparities. To achieve environmental justice and health equity, we recommend concomitant strategies to eradicate both neurotoxic chemical exposures and systems that perpetuate social inequities. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP11750.
  • COVID-19 Public Health Measures and Patient and Public Involvement in Health and Social Care Research: An Umbrella Review
    Negin Fouladi, Nedelina Tchangalova, Damilola Ajayi, Elizabeth Millwee, Corinne Lovett, Alana Del Sordi, Samantha Liggett, Malki De Silva, Laura Bonilla, Angel Nkwonta, Leah Ramnarine, Allyssa Munoz, Kate Frazer, Thilo Kroll
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023
    An umbrella review of previously published systematic reviews was conducted to determine the nature and extent of the patient and public involvement (PPI) in COVID-19 health and social care research and identify how PPI has been used to develop public health measures (PHM). In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on PPI in research as it offers alternative perspectives and insight into the needs of healthcare users to improve the quality and relevance of research. In January 2022, nine databases were searched from 2020–2022, and records were filtered to identify peer-reviewed articles published in English. From a total of 1437 unique records, 54 full-text articles were initially evaluated, and six articles met the inclusion criteria. The included studies suggest that PHM should be attuned to communities within a sociocultural context. Based on the evidence included, it is evident that PPI in COVID-19-related research is varied. The existing evidence includes written feedback, conversations with stakeholders, and working groups/task forces. An inconsistent evidence base exists in the application and use of PPI in PHM. Successful mitigation efforts must be community specific while making PPI an integral component of shared decision-making.
  • Food insecurity among African Americans in the United States: A scoping review
    Elizabeth Dennard, Elizabeth Kristjansson, Nedelina Tchangalova, Sarah Totton, Donna Winham, Annette O’Connor
    Plos One, 2022
    In 2019, the estimated prevalence of food insecurity for Black non-Hispanic households was higher than the national average due to health disparities exacerbated by forms of racial discrimination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Black households have experienced higher rates of food insecurity when compared to other populations in the United States. The primary objectives of this review were to identify which risk factors have been investigated for an association with food insecurity, describe how food insecurity is measured across studies that have evaluated this outcome among African Americans, and determine which dimensions of food security (food accessibility, availability, and utilization) are captured by risk factors studied by authors. Food insecurity related studies were identified through a search of Google Scholar, PubMed, CINAHL Plus, MEDLINE®, PsycINFO, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, and Web of Science™ (Clarivate), on May 20, 2021. Eligible studies were primary research studies, with a concurrent comparison group, published in English between 1995 and 2021. Ninety-eight relevant studies were included for data charting with 37 unique measurement tools, 115 risk factors, and 93 possible consequences of food insecurity identified. Few studies examined factors linked to racial discrimination, behaviour, or risk factors that mapped to the food availability dimension of food security. Infrequently studied factors, such as lifetime racial discrimination, socioeconomic status (SES), and income insecurity need further investigation while frequently studied factors such as age, education, race/ethnicity, and gender need to be summarized using a systematic review approach so that risk factor impact can be better assessed. Risk factors linked to racial discrimination and food insecurity need to be better understood in order to minimize health disparities among African American adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
