Findings from two online experiments to advance the science on sexual orientation and gender identity measurement
To better understand the impact of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) measurement choices on estimates of hazardous health behaviors, we examined the impact of SOGI measurement choices on estimates of relighting, as an example hazardous health behavior. We embedded a 2×2×2 factorial experiment within a convenience sample of US adults ages 18-45 who smoke daily or some days (N=271) and a nationally representative sample of US adults age…

Examining the Survey Setting Effect on Current E-Cigarette Use Estimates among High School Students in the 2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey
The 2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) was completed by youth online during class time, either in school or at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the role of NYTS data in tobacco regulatory science, it is vital to understand the effect of survey settings (home, school) on tobacco-use estimates. We used a series of multivariable logistic regressions to examine whether survey settings (home vs. school) predicted current e-cigarette use…
A Pilot Feasibility Study of an Online Youth Tobacco Survey Administration among High School Students
The COVID-19 pandemic restrictions forced many schools to shift to remote or hybrid learning, disrupting surveillance systems such as the New Jersey Youth Tobacco Survey, traditionally administered in schools by paper and pencil. In spring 2021, we conducted a feasibility study among a convenience sample of six public high schools to assess the use of an online survey to allow for remote participation. In each school, 4 to 6 classes were selected…
Toward a More Comprehensive Index of Youth Cigarette Smoking
Reliance on 30-day prevalence as the principal means of assessing trends in youth cigarette smoking may understate the magnitude of the decrease in youth smoking, because prevalence does not account for smoking frequency or intensity. We analyzed Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data from 1997 through 2017 and estimated cigarette smoking prevalence (any smoking in the previous 30 days), frequency (number of smoking days in the previous 30 days),…
Persistent Misperceptions about Nicotine among US Physicians
We conducted a survey experiment among US physicians to evaluate whether question wording impacted perceptions about the health effects of nicotine. 926 physicians were randomized to receive one of two versions of a question matrix that asked about the "extent to which they agree or disagree that 'nicotine' (Version 1) or 'nicotine, on its own,' (Version 2) directly contributes to" birth defects, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, depression, …
Retrospective Assessment of Risk Factors for Head and Neck Cancer Among World Trade Center General Responders
Objective: To assess the reliability of a questionnaire designed to reconstruct risk factors for head and neck cancer relative to the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) response and over the lifetime. Methods: As part of a nested case-control study, 200 WTC Health Program (WTCHP) General Responder Cohort (GRC) members completed a newly-developed study questionnaire via telephone (with a trained interviewer) or online (self-administered). We assessed a…
US young adults’ perceived effectiveness of draft pictorial e-cigarette warning labels
Future research should assess perceptions and the appropriateness of pictorial imagery for e-cigarette warnings and test their efficacy against text-only warnings experimentally
Patterns and Trends of Hookah Use among New Jersey Youth
In this study, the aim was to document trends of ever, past 30-day, and frequent (use on > 10 days/month) hookah use among New Jersey (NJ) high school students.Data were analyzed from the 2008-2014 waves of the NJ Youth Tobacco Survey, a biennial survey of public high school students in grades 9-12 with a mean age of 15 years. Multivariable logistic regressions assessed trends and correlates of hookah use. Descriptive statistics were used to summ…
Social norms and its correlates as a pathway to smoking among young Latino adults
Sex Differences in the Association of Psychological Distress and Tobacco Use
Findings suggest a stronger association of SPD and tobacco use for women
Hookah Use Among New Jersey Youth
Prevalence of hookah use is rising among New Jersey's youth, particularly among minority populations, representing a growing public health concern
Examining market trends in the United States smokeless tobacco use
Sales of moist snuff, both overall and for particular styles, are increasing. Growing pouch use may be attributed to new SLT users, which may include cigarette smokers using them as starter SLT products. Increased sales of flavoured and discounted snuff raise concerns about use and appeal to youth. Continued surveillance of SLT sales trends is warranted
