Young people are susceptible to e-cigarette advertising, although potential heterogeneity in perceptions of e-cigarette ads with respect to age and e-cigarette use history remains unexplored. We aimed to assess differences in perceptions of e-cigarette ads and product use intention, by age and e-cigarette use status. Methods: Participants from an online convenience sam…

  • The Intersection of Problems, Policy, and Politics

    Open AccessCoralia Vázquez-Otero, Ellen M Daley et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021

    Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections can cause cancer (e.g., cervical/vaginal/penile/anal/oropharyngeal). The HPV vaccine prevents cancer, yet U.S. vaccination rates remain low. We explored sociopolitical factors in the adoption of Puerto Rico’s HPV vaccine school-entry requirement. Multiple streams framework explains how the intersection of problems, policy, and politics streams influence policy adoption. Policy entrepreneurs work on…

  • Content analysis of digital media coverage of the human papillomavirus vaccine school-entry requirement policy in Puerto Rico

    Open AccessVivian Colón‐López, Vilnery Rivera-Figueroa et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Most of the media coverage in PR was neutral and included limited information related to the vaccine, HPV, and HPV-related cancers. Neutral and negative themes could influence public concerns regarding the new policy, as well as HPV vaccination rates in PR

  • Tobacco messages encountered in real-time among low socio-economic position groups

    Open AccessElise M Stevens, Coralia Vázquez-Otero et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Low SEP groups in this study encountered more pro-tobacco than anti-tobacco messages at places that were point-of-sale using price promotions to appeal to this group. Anti-tobacco messages at point-of-sale and/or advertising regulations may help combat tobacco use

  • Youth-appealing features in popular e-cigarette brand advertising in the USA after heightened scrutiny in 2018

    Jessica Liu, Coralia Vázquez-Otero et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Even with heightened scrutiny of e-cigarette brands, advertisements still included youth-appealing content such as flavours, fruit imagery and positive sensations. Puff Bar led in all these categories, and it rapidly gained market share after market leader JUUL limited the sales of its flavoured products. Research should continue to monitor the characteristics of e-cigarette advertisements and consider their impact on youth

  • Stakeholders’ perspectives on system-level barriers to and facilitators of HPV vaccination among Hispanic migrant farmworkers

    Cheryl A Vamos, Nolan S Kline et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2021Referencias: 1

    Findings suggest that multi-level interventions should be developed to leverage existing facilitators while addressing system-level barriers, ultimately creating a supportive environment for HPV vaccine initiation and completion among this marginalized population comprised of individuals living in migrant farmworker communities

  • Hispanic Male Cancer Survivors’ Coping Strategies

    Open AccessSilvia Sommariva, Coralia Vázquez-Otero et al.ARTICLEHispanic Journal of Behavioral…2019Referencias: 45

    Cancer survivors manage their new status using a multitude of coping mechanisms. Coping strategies vary by individual, but are also socioculturally mediated. Scarce evidence on coping strategies adopted by Hispanic male cancer survivors (HMCS) is available to date. The purpose of this study was to explore the reaction to diagnosis and subsequent coping strategies employed by HMCS. Data were gathered through focus groups ( n = 18), cognitive inter…

    Background: HPV vaccination is the primary prevention method for HPV-related cancers, although among Hispanic populations, migrant farmworkers may experience exacerbated challenges to HPV vaccination due to intersecting political, social, and personal contexts. This study explored multi-level determinants of HPV vaccination among Hispanic migrant farmworker families. Methods: Using a community-engaged approach and guided by the socio-ecological m…

  • Abnormal pap tests among women living in a Hispanic migrant farmworker community

    Open AccessCheryl A Vamos, Elizabeth Lockhart et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 23

    This study explored narrative responses following abnormal Pap tests among Hispanic migrant farmworkers ( N = 18; ages 22-50 years) via in-depth interviews in Florida. Qualitative analyses utilized health literacy domains (obtain/process/understand/communicate) as a conceptual framework. Participants described how they (1) obtained information about getting a Pap test, (2) processed positive and negative reactions following results, (3) understoo…

  • College institutional characteristics and the use of barrier methods among undergraduate students

    Stacey B Griner, Erika L Thompson et al.ARTICLESex Education2017

    Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) may be prevented through the use of barrier methods, but rates of use among US college students are low. Previous research focuses on individual-level factors influencing barrier method use, but few studies consider community-level influences. This study examined consistency of barrier use by college institutional characteristics including region, enrolment, control (public or private), locale, type, or reli…
