Harm perceptions of vaping nicotine relative to cigarette smoking among sexual and gender minority young adults
An Exploration of Rural Housing Insecurity as a Public Health Problem in California’s Rural Northern Counties
Comparing conceptions of gender, sexuality and lesbian identity between baby boomers and millennials
To answer this special issue provocation, Is Lesbian Identity Obsolete? we analyzed interviews with people who had identified at some point in their lives as lesbians, or as women/femmes who were attracted to women - some of them part of the Baby Boomer generation and some part of the Millennial generation. Participants from both generations rejected the gender binary. Nevertheless, we found a shift away from understanding gender as an oppressive…
Tobacco Harm Reduction as a Path to Restore Trust in Tobacco Control
The controversy of tobacco harm reduction in the United States persists despite evidence that an important audience of tobacco prevention and control, i.e., the people who use or are likely to use nicotine and tobacco products, are engaging in practices that may be considered harm reduction. Despite this, a significant proportion of the US tobacco control and prevention field continues to be guided by a precept that there is "no safe tobacco," th…
Intersecting sexual identities, oppressions, and social justice work: Comparing LGBTQ Baby Boomers to Millennials who came of age after the 1980s Aids epidemic
In this study, we analyze 50 interviews with racially diverse, predominantly low‐income, LGBTQ participants living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rooted in intersectional theory that conceptualizes identities as shaped by interlocking forms of oppression and privilege, we compared interviews with “Baby Boomers” to those with “Millennial” participants, who came into adulthood in a time of greater legal and social inclusion for LGBTQ people. Our an…
Truth Telling about Tobacco and Nicotine
Research suggests that many people in the US are misinformed about the relative harms of various tobacco and nicotine products. Concerns about public misinformation have often been framed as relevant only to the degree that public health institutions agree to prioritize conventional approaches to tobacco harm reduction. We argue that while the information priorities of public health professionals are important, ethical and credible information sh…
Perceptions of E-Cigarettes among Black Youth in California
Research suggests that Black youth are less likely to use e-cigarettes than their white counterparts, yet little is known as to why. We examined perceptions of e-cigarettes among Black young adults (ages 18-25) to explore the meanings these youth ascribe to e-cigarettes and the role that identity plays in how these devices are viewed. Analysis of in-depth interviews with 36 Black smokers and non-smokers in the San Francisco Bay Area suggests that…
The gendered experience of smoking stigma: Implications for tobacco control
Tobacco denormalization is a widely accepted tobacco control strategy, shaping policies and programs throughout the United States as well as globally. In spite of widespread beliefs about the effectiveness of tobacco denormalization approaches, concerns about their emphasis on stigmatization have emerged. Social science research on smoking stigma raises questions about the potential iatrogenic consequences of tobacco denormalization approaches. F…
Teen Use of Marijuana Edibles: A Focus Group Study of an Emerging Issue
Taking Sides in E-cigarette Research
In the last ten years, an eclectic mix of electronic nicotine delivery products ('e-cigarettes') and practices have proliferated in the US with little restriction, producing a vast array of vaping mechanisms, flavors, and styles. At the same time, anti-tobacco movements have targeted e-cigarettes as a threat to public health and advocated for restricting e-cigarettes in much the same way as conventional cigarettes. While anti-vaping proponents as…
Bridging the Qualitative-Quantitative Software Divide
To compare and combine qualitative and quantitative data collected from respondents in a mixed-methods study, the research team developed a relational database to merge survey responses stored and analyzed in SPSS and semi-structured interview responses stored and analyzed in the qualitative software package ATLAS.ti. The process of developing the database as well as practical considerations for researchers who may wish to use similar methods are…
