Environmental Risk and Adverse Perinatal Health Indicators in New York City
Environmental exposures can have adverse associations with perinatal health and birth outcomes. This study aimed to identify the overlap and association between urban areas of environmental risk and adverse perinatal health indicator hotspots in New York City. We examined 2101 census tracts representing 575,257 births from 2016 to 2020 recorded by the New York City Bureau of Vital Statistics looking at preterm birth, adolescent pregnancy, and pre…
Social determinants of health and biological age among diverse U.S. Adults, NHANES 2011–2018
Social determinants of health are fundamental drivers of health inequities. Education and income are inversely associated with accelerated aging, but less is known about differences in their association with aging by race/ethnicity. We examined the sex-specific association between each social determinant of health with biological age and by race/ethnicity. Data were sourced from four two-year National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycle…
Methodological and Practical Challenges in Synthesizing Occupational Cancer Studies
Studies examining occupational exposures and cancer risk frequently report mixed findings; it is thus imperative for researchers to synthesize study results and identify any potential sources that explain such variabilities in study findings. However, when synthesizing study results using meta-analytic techniques, researchers often encounter a number of practical and methodological challenges. These challenges include (1) an incomparability of ef…
Implementing a Novel Workplace Smoking Cessation Intervention Targeting Hispanic/Latino Construction Workers
BACKGROUND: U.S. Hispanic/Latino construction workers constitute a large and historically underserved group in terms of smoking cessation services. Using formative research, we developed a worksite smoking cessation intervention tailored to the life/work circumstances of these workers. AIMS: This study aims to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of the developed intervention "Enhanced Care" (EC; one group behavioral cou…
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
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
Risk of Cigarette Smoking Initiation During Adolescence Among US-Born and Non–US-Born Hispanics/Latinos
Objectives. We assessed risk of cigarette smoking initiation among Hispanics/Latinos during adolescence by migration status and gender. Methods. The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) surveyed persons aged 18 to 74 years in 2008 to 2011. Our cohort analysis (n = 2801 US-born, 13 200 non–US-born) reconstructed participants’ adolescence from 10 to 18 years of age. We assessed the association between migration status and len…

The effects of a psychosocial dimension of socioeconomic position on survival
The association between education or income and mortality has been explored in great detail. These measures capture both the effects of material disadvantage on health and the psychosocial impacts of a low socioeconomic position on health. When explored independently of educational attainment and income, occupational prestige - a purely perceptual measure - serves as a measure of the impact of a psychosocial phenomenon on health. For instance, a …
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
Arthritis, Occupational Class, and the Aging US Workforce
Objectives. The working poor sometimes delay retirement to survive. However, their higher risk of disease and disability threatens both their financial survival and their ability to work through the retirement years. We used the burden of disease attributable to arthritis by occupational class to illustrate the challenges faced by the older poor. Methods. We merged data from the National Health Interview Survey, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, …

Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Depressive Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and depression. Tobacco smoking and depression are strongly associated, but the possible effects of SHS have not been evaluated. METHODS: The 2005 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a cross-sectional sample of the noninstitutionalized civilian U.S. population. SHS exposure was measured in adults aged > or =20 years by serum cotinine an…
Secondhand smoke exposure and the risk of hearing loss
Hearing loss has been associated with tobacco smoking, but its relationship with secondhand smoke is not known. We sought to investigate the association between secondhand smoke exposure and hearing loss in a nationally representative sample of adults. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative cross-sectional dataset, was utilised to investigate the association between secondhand smoke exposure and…
Sensory Impairment Among Older US Workers
We used 1997–2004 National Health Interview Survey data to evaluate the prevalence of sensory impairment among US workers 65 years and older. Hearing impairment prevalence was 3 times that of visual impairment (33.4% vs 10.2%), and 38% of older workers reported experiencing either impairment. Farm operators, mechanics, and motor vehicle operators had the highest prevalence of sensory impairment. Workplace screening and accommodations, including s…
Cancer Screening in US Workers
Regular cancer screening can prevent the development of some cancers and increase patient survival for other cancers. We evaluated the reported cancer screening prevalence among a nationally representative sample of all US workers with data from the 2000 and 2005 Cancer Screening Supplements of the National Health Interview Survey. Overall, workers with the lowest rates of health insurance coverage (in particular, Hispanic workers, agricultural w…
Healthcare provider smoking cessation advice among US worker groups
The relatively low reported prevalence of HCP initiated smoking cessation discussion, particularly among currently employed workers with potentially synergistic occupational exposures and high current smoking prevalence, needs to be addressed through educational campaigns targeting physicians and other HCPs
Severity of Concurrent Visual and Hearing Impairment and Mortality
Prevention of severe visual and hearing impairment should be a national public health priority, especially given the aging of the U.S. population
Concurrent Hearing and Visual Impairment and Morbidity in Community-Residing Adults
HI+VI is associated with morbidity, although the strength of these associations varies across subgroups. Findings indicate that an increased focus on the provision of hearing and eye care services is required. Insurance coverage for these services should also be pursued by health policy makers
Prevalence of Concurrent Hearing and Visual Impairment in US Adults
Analysis of data from a nationally representative sample of US adults (n=195801) showed that concurrent hearing and visual impairment prevalence rates were highest for participants older than 79 years of age (16.6%); a 3-fold increase in age-adjusted rates of reported hearing and visual impairment was observed for Native Americans compared with Asian Americans. Research on preventing concurrent hearing and visual impairment and countering its con…
Obesity in US Workers
Objectives. Obesity has emerged as one of the most important public health issues in the United States. We assessed obesity prevalence rates and their trends among major US occupational groups. Methods. Self-reported weight and height were collected annually on US workers, aged 18 years or older, from the 1986 to 1995 and the 1997 to 2002 National Health Interview Surveys. Overall, occupation-, race-, and gender-specific rates of obesity (defined…
Risk of Hospitalization Among Firefighters
This study assessed the risk of hospitalization among firefighters. Data were derived from a nationally representative sample of 235 897 employed men from the National Health Interview Survey. Firefighters aged 30 to 39 years were at significantly increased risk for hospitalization relative to other employed men in the same age group (odds ratio = 1.93; 95% confidence interval=1.21, 3.09). Findings from this study and others support the call for …

Class as a Social Fact
Use of the concept of class in sociology has come under three types of attack: that it contains residues of an unacceptable Marxist holism or otherwise lacks explanatory power; that it is an essentially contested and, therefore, ambiguous term and, that it is decreasingly relevant to contemporary social conditions. This article argues that all three criticisms are mistaken and have only become possible because of the survival of economistic think…
