E-Cigarette Use and Long-Term Cigarette Smoking Cessation Among U.S. Adult Cigarette Smokers
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of e-cigarette use for long-term smoking cessation needs investigation, especially compared to existing pharmacotherapies such as nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) or prescription medications. This study examined the prospective associations between types of smoking cessation aids used and long-term smoking cessation among 6,617 U.S. adult smokers. METHODS: Within three waves of the Population Assessment of Tobacc…
Intersectionality as theoretical lens of a critical discourse study on black communities lived experience with opioid overdose response
Purpose This article aims to describe the role of critical discourse analysis and intersectionality in our analysis and interpretation process and expand on the contribution of members of Black communities in the design of data-collection instruments, recruitment and data-collection procedures. We seek to provide readers with an instance on the utilization of critical social inquiry and how to involve members of communities under study in researc…
Flavored Tobacco User Characteristics in U.S. young Adults
Introduction: Flavorings are one of the major appealing factors of current tobacco products, especially for young adults. They constantly evolve, and new flavorings are introduced to the market every year, but little is known about user profiles of flavored tobacco products (FTPs). Methods: We analyzed young adult (ages 18–24) tobacco product users (N = 4,707) from Wave 5 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study. We applied bivari…

Depression in South Korean Adolescents Captured by Text and Opinion Mining of Social Big Data
Depression in adolescence is recognized as an important social and public health issue that interferes with continued physical growth and increases the likelihood of other mental disorders. The goal of this study was to examine online documents posted by South Korean adolescents for 3 years through the text and opinion mining of collectable documents in order to capture their depression. The sample for this study was online text-based individual …
Statewide vaping product excise tax policy and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems among US young adults, 2014–2019
Our findings suggest that adopting a vaping product excise tax policy may help reduce ENDS use and suppress the increase of ENDS use prevalence among young adults. Considering that there are still a number of US states that have not implemented vaping product excise tax policy, wider adoption of such policy across the nation would likely help mitigate ENDS use prevalence
Effects of an 80% cigarette price increase on quit attempts, successful quitting and smoking intensity among Korean adult smokers
The current study findings imply that the Korean government may consider implementing periodic increases in cigarette tax which should reflect the rate of inflation and income growth. Smoking cessation programmes need to address depressive symptoms
Effectiveness of Indiana’s Statewide Smoke-Free Indoor Air Law in Reducing Prevalence of Adult Cigarette Smoking
Indiana recently implemented a statewide smoke-free indoor air law that has prohibited smoking in both restaurants and non-hospitality workplaces. Evidence for the effectiveness of the recent statewide smoke-free indoor law may persuade 14 states that do not have any statewide smoke-free laws to enact such laws. We evaluated the effectiveness of Indiana's State Smoke-Free Air Law, implemented July 2012, in reducing adult smoking prevalence. We an…

Body Weight and Bullying Victimization among US Adolescents
A U-shaped association between body weight and bullying victimization appears to exist in boys but not girls, partly because of the body weight stigma and sex stereotypes among US adolescents. Future studies should investigate the risk factors associated with sex-specific bullying to develop effective anti-bullying programs for youth
The Association of Psychosocial Factors With Leisure-Time Physical Activity Intention Among Latinas
The purpose of our study was to identify contributors underlying the intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among Latinas. A sample of Latinas was recruited from North Texas ( N = 405). Sequential multiple regression analysis was used to assess the association between sociodemographics, the role of Latino culture (i.e., fatalism, a cultural belief that may be related to LTPA intention), and theoretical constructs drawn from …
Individual, social, and environmental influences on the transitions in physical activity among emerging adults
Peer PA, family support, self-regulatory skills, and environmental status after high school are critical factors that can promote MVPA/VPA among adolescents and emerging adults
E-Cigarette Use and Intention to Initiate or Quit Smoking Among US Youths
Objectives. We assessed whether e-cigarette use is associated with (1) intention to smoke cigarettes among never-smoking youths and youth experimenters, and (2) intention to quit smoking among current youth smokers. Methods. We categorized participants from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey data (n = 20 193) as never-smoking youth (n = 16 238), youth experimenters (n = 3248), and current youth smokers (n = 707). We matched groups on the basi…

Comprehensive US Statewide Smoke-Free Indoor Air Legislation and Secondhand Smoke Exposure, Asthma Prevalence, and Related Doctor Visits
Objectives. We evaluated the impact of comprehensive statewide smoke-free indoor air laws on secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure, asthma prevalence, and asthma-related doctor visits. Methods. We used the 2007–2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data sets. We employed a paired t test to determine whether comprehensive statewide smoke-free indoor air laws reduced SHS exposure. We performed weighted logistic and Poisson regressions to obtain…
Measuring Outcome Expectancy Value of Leisure-Time Physical Activity for African Americans
A scale was adapted from existing scales to measure the outcome expectancy value (EV) as one of contributory factors to leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and was administered to 649 African American adults. The eligible participants (N = 569) for the analysis were split into three subsamples (rate = 0.5 : 0.25 : 0.25) respectively for Exploratory Factor Analysis (N = 285) and cross-validation (N = 142 for the calibration group and N = 142 for…
Longitudinal Trajectories of Perceived Body Weight

Leisure-time physical activity dose‐response effects on obesity among US adults
BACKGROUND: It is not well established whether total volume of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) has dose-response effects on obesity. METHODS: The dose-response relationship was examined using 12 227 non-institutionalised individuals, aged 20-64 years, drawn from the 8 years (1999-2006) of the continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative sample of the US population. RESULTS: The age-adjust…

Prospective Predictors of Long-Term Abstinence Versus Relapse Among Smokers Who Quit as Young Adults
Objectives. We sought to identify prospective predictors of long-term abstinence versus relapse among individuals who quit smoking as young adults. Methods. Participants from an ongoing longitudinal study of smoking who had quit for at least 1 year between the ages of 18 and 24 years (n=327) were divided into those who later reported not smoking for more than 5 years (long-term abstinence) or reported current smoking, defined as smoking at least …
