Introduction
1WHO, 2016; 2Merzel & D’Afflitti, 2003; 3Ockene et al, 2012
Socioecological Model
Introduction
• Faith-based health promotion is an emerging strategy.• A place of worship is considered a trusted community source.1
1Harmon et al, 2014
Introduction
• Needs assessments reveal major health and lifestyle issues.1
• Community members provide the best insight.2
– Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey (BRFSS)
1Kumar & Preetha, 2012; 2Levy et al, 2004
Study Goal and Research Question
• To conduct a faith-based community needs assessment in partnership with Gloria Dei Lutheran church in order to identify and prioritize the congregation's health needs.
• What are the major health needs and corresponding health behaviors of the congregation?
Study Objectives
• Primary: To investigate the associations of diet and health outcomes within the church community.
• Secondary: To investigate the associations of health, diet, or lifestyle factors within the church community.
Study Design• Correlational, cross-sectional • Paper survey, physical measurements• Voluntary sample• Eligibility requirements:– Member of the Gloria Dei community– At least 19 years old– Willing and able to complete a survey
Survey
• Extensive exploration into validated and reliable questions and questionnaires
• BRFSS 2013 and 2014; other validated questions on exercise, diet, spirituality, drug use, end of life treatment
• Diet questions – 5 A Day Consumption and Evaluation Tool (FACET)– Daily and weekly major foods (breakfast cereal, F&V, fish, etc.)
Survey Validity and Reliability
Validity• Incorporated validated questions– BFRSS, FACET– Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Q
• Pilot testing and feedback• Paper delivery only was utilized
Reliability• Potentially unclear questions were
slightly adapted • FACET – Cronbach’s alpha .59• Godin Leisure-Time Exercise
Questionnaire – 0.44 Cronbach’s alpha
• Core Dimensions of Spirituality Questionnaire - Cronbach’s alpha 0.77
Physical Measurements
• Non-invasive physical measurements – height, weight, waist circumference– Stadiometer - Seca 213 portable unit– Research grade scale – Precision Personal Health Scale Model UC
321PL– Cloth measuring tape
Participant Recruitment
Recruitment Protocol
• Info tables, announcements, flyers, emails, social media posts• Recruitment days• Incentives– Benedictine logo gear – pens, window stickers, cutting boards– Survey completion – entry into $100 Visa gift card drawing– Physical measurements – daily $10 or $20 restaurant gift card
drawings• Data collection days
Survey Protocol
• 15-20 minutes• Paper survey• Topics included– Demographics, health perceptions, health status, health behaviors
• Variables of interest - diet and exercise variables• Reliability
Clarified the script of this and the measurement protocol a bit.
Measurement Protocol• 5 minutes• Separate room with divider for privacy• Height, weight, waist circumference• Handout to participants• Reliability
Statistical Analysis
• Correlational, differential • Parametric• Descriptive statistics• Multivariate analyses: Chi-square tests, Pearson and Spearman
correlations, logistic regression• Univariate analyses: independent t-tests, ANOVA, ANCOVA• SPSS version 24; p values < 0.05 significant

Background: Musculoskeletal Disorders
• Musculoskeletal Disorders (MDs) affect 50% of American adults over age 181; aging increases risk.2
• Certain diet and lifestyle factors adversely affect joint health –inflammatory diet,3 inactivity,4 and obesity.5

Discussion
• More intake of meat and resistance exercise was related to diagnosis of MDs.
• High meat consumption can be inflammatory if n-6/n-3 ratio is unbalanced.1,2
• Resistance exercise can strengthen bones, muscles, and joints, which helps prevent MDs.3,4

• Social isolation may explain link between faith and sadness.1,2
• Sedentary behavior is a category separate from physical activity that affects both metabolic and mental health.3,4

Discussion
• Predictors of obesity (per BMI) were high blood pressure and being employed.
• Diet correlates of a risky WC in males were intake of fewer vegetables and more sugary drinks.
• Sitting time at work positively correlated with obesity.1
• Increased intake of sugary drinks related to increased BMI and WC.2, 3
• Vegetable-based diet related to smaller WC.4

• BMI predicted the likelihood of reporting pain. • Increasing BMI can cause excess weight > pressure on joints >
inflammation > pain.¹-³• High BMI and physical inactivity are associated with chronic
pain.⁴ Modest weight reductions decrease pain.⁵

Discussion
• Eating fish more frequently was the biggest predictor of getting adequate sleep.• Composition of fish – lean protein, polyunsaturated fats.1
• Drinking coffee and tea more frequently may adversely impact sleep.• Time and frequency of consuming coffee can affect the quality and
amount of sleep.2

Background: High Blood Pressure
1American Heart Association, 2014; 2American Heart Association, 2013; 3Ettehad et al, 2016
• Goal blood pressure (BP) reading for an adult age 20 or over is < 120/80 mm Hg.1
• 69% of people who have a first heart attack, 77% who have a first stroke, and 74% who have congestive heart failure have BP > 140/90 mm Hg.2
• Lowering BP reduces vascular risk across various baseline BP levels and comorbidities.3
Methods
• Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other licensed health professional that you have high blood pressure? –1=Yes–2=Yes, during pregnancy only (female)–3=No–4=Told borderline high or pre-hypertensive–5=Don't know/ Not sure

Discussion
• Days of debilitating mental health was the biggest predictor of high BP diagnosis. – Spirituality may serve as coping mechanism for negative emotions.1
• Eating tilapia/catfish frequently may raise BP. – Tilapia/catfish are major sources of long chain n-6 fatty acid,
arachidonic acid (AA)2; low eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to AA ratio may increase CAD risk.2,3

Key Findings
• Reduced physical activity musculoskeletal disorders, sadness, anxiety
• Higher BMI/WC high blood pressure, pain
• Western diet musculoskeletal disorders, inadequate sleep, increased BMI/WC, blood pressure
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths
• Validated questions utilized• Wide variety of questions• Large sample size• Consistency of student roles• Physical measurements
obtained at data collection• Exploration of topic with
limited research
Limitations
• Cross-sectional correlational study
• Self-reported retrospective survey data
• Length and personal questions
• Food frequency only• Low generalizability
Conclusion
• Health behaviors and predisposing demographic factors were associated with various physical and mental health conditions in church participants.
• Future interventions: physical activity, BMI/WC, dietary habits.
Future Research
• Health education intervention studies aimed at reducing risk of or helping manage identified conditions.
• More faith-based community health needs assessments.
