Self-identified Race and Ethnicity and How this is Perceived
Objectives The singular focus on self-identified race and ethnicity in health disparities research may not fully convey the individual and structural components of experiencing race in society, or in a racialized context such as prison. Processes of racialization create boundaries between incarcerated individuals and regulate their daily interactions and access to resources, with possible effects on well-being. However, the relationship between p…
The Pillars of Health Disparities Science—Race, Ethnicity, and Socioeconomic Status
This Viewpoint examines the importance of race and ethnicity and socioeconomic status as the pillars of health disparities science
Covid-19 Health Disparities and Adverse Social Determinants of Health
Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare and health outcomes are longstanding. The real-time emergence of COVID-19 disparities has heightened the public and scientific discourse about structural inequities contributing to the greater risk of morbidity and mortality among racial and ethnic minority populations and other underserved groups. A key aspect of assuring health equity is addressing social determinants that lead to adverse health outco…
Harnessing the Power of Community-Engaged Science to Facilitate Access and Uptake of Covid-19 Testing
Achieving Equity in the Reach of Smoking Cessation Services Within the NCI Cancer Moonshot-Funded Cancer Center Cessation Initiative
Background: Ensuring equitable access to smoking cessation services for cancer patients is necessary to avoid increasing disparities in tobacco use and cancer outcomes. In 2017, the Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) funded National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Cancer Centers to integrate evidence-based smoking cessation programs into cancer care. We describe the progress of C3I Cancer Centers in expanding the reach of cessation servic…
Decreased Levels of Soluble CD44 in a High-Risk Population following a Smoking Cessation Program
Tobacco is a risk factor of head and neck cancer (HNC) and smoking cessation alone may reduce HNC risk by 70%. Soluble CD44 (solCD44), a cell surface receptor linked to cell proliferation and migration, and total protein (TP) levels can detect early HNC. This study aims to determine whether salivary solCD44 and TP levels in oral rinses change following a smoking cessation program. 150 smokers provided oral rinse samples at baseline and at a 12-mo…
Covid-19 and Racial/Ethnic Disparities
This Viewpoint reviews possible reasons for reported excess mortality and poor outcomes in racial/ethnic minority populations with COVID-19 and proposes research, public health, and clinical interventions to decrease health inequities in and beyond the pandemic.
Pragmatic Application of the RE-AIM Framework to Evaluate the Implementation of Tobacco Cessation Programs Within NCI-Designated Cancer Centers
Tobacco cessation after cancer diagnosis leads to better patient outcomes. However, tobacco treatment services are frequently unavailable in cancer care settings, and multilevel implementation challenges can impede uptake of new programs. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) dedicated Cancer Moonshot funding through the Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) for NCI-Designated Cancer Centers to implement or enhance the implementation of tobacco …
Gender Differences in the Association between Marijuana and Menthol Cigarette Use among African American Adult Cigarette Smokers
Introduction: Despite the strong relationship between marijuana and tobacco use, especially among African American individuals and males, very few studies have examined the association between marijuana and menthol cigarette use. This study was designed to identify the prevalence of past month, past year and lifetime marijuana use and marijuana dependence among menthol and non-menthol cigarette smokers, as well as the association between marijuan…
Youth Enjoy Science Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
The Youth Enjoy Science (YES) Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) R25-funded training grant, designed to increase the pipeline of underrepresented minority (URM) students entering college and pursuing biomedical research and health care careers in the Cleveland Metropolitan and surrounding school districts. The three components of the program include: Learn to Beat Cancer , engaging middle school s…
Associations between Perceived Racial Discrimination and Tobacco Cessation among Diverse Treatment Seekers
Perceived racial/ethnic discrimination was greater among African American/Black smokers compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Perceived discrimination was negatively associated with tobacco cessation in the full sample, and for African Americans at 6-months post-intervention. These data have implications for intervention delivery and health disparities
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Physiological Stress and Relapse among Treatment Seeking Tobacco Smokers
Stress is robustly associated with tobacco smoking and relapse. African Americans experience greater difficulty quitting compared to whites, yet no studies have examined race differences in physiological stress biomarkers during a quit attempt. This pilot study compared cortisol levels among treatment-seeking African American and white smokers, and relapse rates. Adult smokers (N = 115; n = 72 African American, n = 43 White) received eight sessio…
Understanding Multilevel Factors Related to Urban Community Trust in Healthcare and Research
The depth of distrust for healthcare providers, systems, and researchers in underserved communities remains strong and complex. Findings highlight the need to understand the lived experiences of community members, and how distrust is maintained. Multilevel interventions to increase trust and the accrual of underrepresented populations into clinical trials are needed
Use of the Phase-Based Model of Smoking Treatment to Guide Intervention Development for Persons Living with HIV Who Self-Identify as African American Tobacco Smokers
Cigarette smoking is highly prevalent among persons living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH), with rates as high 50% as compared to 14% in the general U.S. population. Tobacco use causes morbidity and mortality in PLWH, and tobacco-related harm is substantially higher in PLWH than smokers in the general population, providing the scientific premise for developing effective tobacco cessation interventions in this population. To bet…
Reasons for Exclusion from a Smoking Cessation Trial
A notable proportion of smokers were ineligible for this RCT, with SMI as the greatest single cause. Racial/ethnic minorities were more likely to be excluded, with African Americans deemed ineligible for multiple reasons. Findings have implications for RCT generalizability, addressing tobacco disparities and health equity
Web-Based Tobacco Cessation Interventions and Digital Inequality across US Racial/Ethnic Groups
The proliferation of digital interventions has the potential to increase tobacco-related disparities, as members of racial/ethnic minority groups may not enroll in, or engage in, such interventions. As the field moves to digitize tobacco interventions, we must remain cognizant of persistent digital inequalities and the potential for widening racial/ethnic tobacco cessation disparities
Effects of a culturally specific tobacco cessation intervention among African American Quitline enrollees
Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03064971 . Registered on February 22, 2017
Comparison of E-Cigarette Use among Menthol and Non-Menthol Smokers
Our findings suggest that, compared with current non-menthol smokers, current menthol smokers are more likely to consider using e-cigarettes to help quit/reduce smoking, and are more likely to use menthol flavored e-cigarettes. Further research is needed to better examine low e-cigarette knowledge among menthol smokers, which may represent an important intervention target
Smoking Urges During Treatment and Long-Term Cessation among Low-Income African Americans
The most robust predictors of abstinence through 12-months post-intervention were decreased urges over the 4-week, 8-session group intervention and the frequency of nicotine patch use. Interventions aimed at addressing the needs of African American smokers should address urges and encourage nicotine replacement adherence to increase abstinence rates
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Electronic Cigarette Use and Reasons for Use among Current and Former Smokers
The prevalence of e-cigarette use is increasing, yet few studies have focused on its use in racial/ethnic minority populations. We examined associations between race/ethnicity and e-cigarette use, plans to continue using e-cigarettes, and reasons for use among current/former smokers. Participants (285 in total; 29% non-Hispanic White, 42% African American/Black, and 29% Hispanic) were recruited between June and November 2014. Telephone-administer…
Self-reported time-to-relapse following smoking cessation
Aims: Relapse rates among cigarette smokers are high. Few studies have examined time-to-relapse using survival analysis in racially/ethnically diverse smokers and initial abstinence criteria have been inconsistent or unspecified. This study compared survival curves using two common definitions of initial abstinence. We hypothesized greater relapse rates among participants abstinent for only 24 hours (h) at the end-of-therapy (EOT) compared with 7…
Acceptability of a Rinse Screening Test for Diagnosing Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Among Black Americans
Support for Indoor Bans on Electronic Cigarettes among Current and Former Smokers
Support for indoor e-cigarette bans is relatively low among individuals with a smoking history. Support for e-cigarette bans may change as evidence regarding their use emerges. These findings have implications for public health policy

Ethnic group differences in the relationship between depressive symptoms and smoking
The relationship between depressive symptoms and smoking differs by ethnicity, particularly for Latinos. Understanding these differences may contribute to the development of culturally specific interventions
Health-Related Quality of Life and Nicotine Dependence, Florida 2007
The consequences of long-term smoking, and thus nicotine dependence, may not be confined to traditional morbidity measures but may include poor perceived health and overall well-being
Menthol Cigarette Smoking and Health, Florida 2007 BRFSS
Women, racial/ethnic minorities, and individuals reporting a greater frequency of mental distress are more likely to smoke menthol versus nonmenthol cigarettes. Implications for public health policy and cessation interventions are discussed
