Contingent Effects of E-Cigarette Warning Label Messages on Cognitive Elaboration and Fear Among U.S. Youth Ages 14–17 by Vaping Experience and Peer Vaping Behavior
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently requires a warning about the addictive nature of nicotine to be placed on electronic cigarette advertisements and packaging. To consider the value of additional warning messages on public health outcomes, this study examines the additive effect of new warnings that are based on recent claims from U.S. federal authorities. We conducted a secondary analysis of recent data from 1,202 U.S. youth a…
Examining Perceptions of Uncertain Language in Potential E-Cigarette Warning Labels
E-cigarette use among youth presents a public health risk. Yet, cigarette smokers who substantially reduce their smoking or switch completely from traditional combustible cigarettes could benefit. As science about e-cigarettes is continually emerging, any potential warnings are likely to contain uncertain language. Hedged verbiage may impact decision making. To assess reactions, we conducted 16 online focus groups; 8 with youth (n = 32, grouped b…

Managing a policy paradox? Responses to textual warning labels on E-cigarette advertisements among U.S. national samples of youth overall and adults who smoke or vape
Is exposure to pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising for heart disease and diabetes associated with physical activity and dietary behavior
Many Americans were regularly exposed to pharmaceutical DTCA for heart disease and diabetes from 2003 to 2016. Widespread exposure to such DTCA is associated with higher levels (though small in magnitude) of consuming alcohol, fast food, candy, and sugar-sweetened beverages
Campaign Advertising and the Cultivation of Crime Worry
Previous research has documented that political information in the mass media can shape attitudes and behaviors beyond voter choice and election turnout. The current study extends this body of work to examine associations between televised political campaign advertising (one of the most common forms of political communication people encounter) and worry about crime and violence in the context of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. We merge two l…
Exposure to televised political campaign advertisements aired in the United States 2015-2016 election cycle and psychological distress
There was a consistent positive association between the volume of campaign advertising exposure and a reported diagnosis of anxiety among American adults
Testing the effects of certain versus hypothetical language in health risk messages
This paper tests how the certainty or hypotheticality conveyed through language can be harnessed to enhance the effectiveness of targeted messaging about health risks. We conducted two experiments with adult smokers ( n = 317) and middle school youth ( n = 321) from low-income communities in the context of pictorial cigarette warning labels. We manipulated hypotheticality of risk through verb modality: 1. non-modal (present tense, e.g., smoking c…
Testing competing explanations for graphic warning label effects among adult smokers and non-smoking youth
Market-level exposure to state antismoking media campaigns and public support for tobacco control policy in the United States, 2001–2002
This study shows that that large-scale antismoking media campaigns can have a meaningful secondary impact on support for comprehensive indoor smoking bans. Future research should identify the conditions under which mass media campaigns primarily targeting smoking behaviour may influence public support for a variety of other tobacco control policies
Variations in state use of antitobacco message themes predict youth smoking prevalence in the USA, 1999–2005
Youth-targeted state antitobacco PSAs that emphasise the health consequences of smoking (to oneself and others) and contain anti-industry appeals are associated with reduced youth smoking rates. Future work should avoid typologies that do not account for the co-occurrence of thematic and stylistic content in antitobacco PSAs
An examination of theory and promising practice for achieving permanency for teens before they age out of foster care
You're all grown up now
This article considers the repercussions of discharging youth from foster care at age 18 based on recent research demonstrating that youth at this age are not developmentally prepared to live independently and have a continued need for strong social scaffolding during emerging adulthood. Drawing upon recent research findings, we make recommendations for changes to state and federal policy that provide youth transitioning from foster care an exten…

Private Profits and Public Health
To shed new light on the role private profit incentives play in promoting public health, in this paper we conduct an empirical study of the impact of pharmaceutical industry advertising on smoking cessation decisions. We link survey data on individual smokers with an archive of magazine advertisements. The rich survey data allow us to measure smokers' exposure to smoking cessation advertisements based on their magazine-reading habits. Because we …
Preparation of youth in congregate care for independent living
This paper reports on findings from a qualitative study that focused on the quality and adequacy of preparation of youth in congregate care for independent living. This study, conducted in New York, NY, USA, explored the extent to which youth feel prepared to leave care and the opportunities they are given to participate in planning and decision‐making regarding issues that personally affect their future. Interviews were conducted with profession…

Gay and Lesbian Youth in Foster Care
Although the number of youth in foster care who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (GLBTQ) is not known, these youth have a range of unique placement and services needs that are often not well addressed. In a qualitative study conducted by Children's Rights and partnering legal organizations in New York City, the experiences of youth in congregate care settings (group and residential treatment centers) were examined, includin…

Timeliness in the Adoptive Placement of Photolisted Children
This study uses information from the New York State (NYS) Adoption Photolisting Service, the Blue Books, to determine the characteristics of the hardest-to-place children, factors related to timeliness in the adoptive placement of listed children, and the efficacy of photolisting updates in impacting placement probabilities. The data for this study consist of computerized records on all children photolisted in NYS from 1976 to 1997. Results indic…

This paper presents an analysis of New York State's implementation of the adoption subsidy program provided under the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act (P.L. 96-272) of 1980. This law established a mechanism through which federal matching funds could be appropriated to states for subsidies to support the adoption of special needs children. New York is one of four states in the nation in which adoption subsidy rates are set at the local (c…
