What is Social Justice? An Important Approach to Public Health Research, Practice, and Health Care Solutions
Translating Health Equity Research Findings Into Meaningful Community- and Systems-Level Change, Little Rock, Arkansas, 2022–2023
We identified strategies needed to translate research findings into systems-level change. In Little Rock, Arkansas, in 2022 and 2023, academic and community partners provided statements completing a prompt that related to strategies for translating research into practice to eliminate health disparities. Participants sorted the statements by theme and rated the statements on importance and feasibility. We identified six themes, and community engag…
Using Concept Mapping to Identify Community Partners’ and Researchers’ Perceptions of Social Justice: A Path Toward Eliminating Chronic Disease Disparities
Background: A social justice framework can be used to inform healthy equity-focused research, and operationalizing social justice can inform strategic planning for research and practice models. This study aimed to develop a working definition of social justice based on input from a diverse group of collaborators to better inform the work conducted within the Center for Research, Health, and Social Justice.

Electronic Cigarette Users’ Reactions and Responses to a Hypothetical Nicotine Concentration Reduction in Electronic Cigarette Liquids
Background: Regulations limiting nicotine in electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have been proposed or implemented. Little is known about e-cigarette users’ reactions to reducing e-cigarette liquid nicotine concentration. Methods: We used concept mapping to describe e-cigarette users’ reactions to a 50% reduction in the nicotine concentration of their e-cigarette liquids. In 2019, current e-cigarette users who used e-cigarette liquid with greate…
Nicotine Dependence among Current Cigarette Smokers Who Use E-Cigarettes and Cannabis
BACKGROUND: Co-use of tobacco and cannabis and dual use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes are very common among young adults. However, it is unclear whether co-use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and/or cannabis is associated with higher levels of nicotine dependence than cigarette-only use. We investigated the relationship between cigarette/nicotine dependence and co-use of tobacco and cannabis among 4 groups of cigarette smokers aged 18-35: cigarette…
The psychological rages of Whiteness: Acceptable casualties and the White American identity
W.E.B. Du Bois states that psychological wages of Whiteness (1935) are unearned wages granted to White people of any class; including access to spaces and opportunities reserved solely for their use, enjoyment and ownership. This article discusses how White rage is a deadly expression of anger toward BIPOC11 Black, Indigenous, People of Colour. who are a perceived threat against the systemic maintenance of psychological wages of Whiteness. Theref…
Electronic cigarette users’ reactions and responses to a hypothetical ban of flavoured electronic cigarette liquids

Racial Discrimination and Alcohol Problems: Examining Interactions with Genetic Risk and Impulsivity among African American Young Adults
Menthol Smoking and Nicotine Dependence among Black/African American Women Smokers Living in Low-Resource, Rural Communities
Black/African American women from low-resource, rural communities bear a disproportionate burden of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. This study examined associations between menthol smoking and socioeconomic deprivation with nicotine dependence and quitting behaviors among Black/African American women cigarette and/or little cigar/cigarillo smokers, aged 18-50 living in low-resource, rural communities. Baseline survey data from a randomiz…
Cigar-Smoking-Cessation Interest and Experience among Black Young Adults: A Semi-Structured In-Depth Interview Investigation
Although Black/African American populations have high cigar-smoking prevalence, little is known about cigar-smoking cessation among this group. This study explored the perceptions and experiences of cigar-smoking cessation and assistance received from healthcare providers among forty Black young-adult cigar smokers (ages 21-29). Semi-structured in-depth phone interviews were transcribed and coded. Qualitative data were analyzed by using thematic …
Impacts of Covid-19 on Electronic Cigarette Purchasing, Use and Related Behaviors
Background : COVID-19 has caused health impacts and disruptions globally. Electronic cigarette (ECIG) users may face additional impacts. This study examined impacts of COVID-19 on ECIG users. Methods : Concept mapping, a mixed-methods approach, was used to identify COVID-19 impacts on adult ECIG users. ECIG users ( n = 93) provided statements completing a prompt: "A specific way Coronavirus/COVID-19 has affected my vaping/e-cigarette use, my vapi…
Racial discrimination and alcohol problems among African American young adults: Examining the moderating effects of racial socialization by parents and friends

Racial socialization by friends while growing up may play an important role in alcohol use outcomes during young adulthood. Findings highlight the importance of considering different forms of racial discrimination and emphasize the unique roles of racial socialization across different social cont…
