A Randomized Controlled Trial of Yoga with Incarcerated Females: Impacts on Emotion Regulation, Body Dissociation, and Warnings of Substance Relapse
Mental health and substance abuse challenges are widespread among incarcerated populations, often coupled with complicated histories of abuse, trauma, and other psychological problems. Traditional treatments have largely consisted of psychological or pharmaceutical interventions. However, the implementation, effectiveness, and financial burden of traditional interventions have led to exploration into alternative approaches. The purpose of this st…

Associations between self-reported in-home smoking behaviours and surface nicotine concentrations in multiunit subsidised housing
Surface nicotine concentrations were significantly associated with a range of self-reported in-home smoking behaviours. This measure should be considered for evaluating changes in in-home smoking behaviours after implementation of smoke-free policies by subsidised housing providers. More research is needed about how surface nicotine concentrations differ over space, time and various indoor surfaces

METHODS: Pregnant smokers at 2 managed care organizations were randomized to receive a self-help booklet only, prepartum relapse prevention, or prepartum and postpartum relapse prevention. Follow-up surveys were conducted at 28 weeks of pregnancy and at 8 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months postpartum. RESULTS: The pre/post intervention d…
Differences in preconceptional and prenatal behaviors in women with intended and unintended pregnancies
OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether pregnancy intention was associated with cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, use of vitamins, and consumption of caffeinated drinks prior to pregnancy and in early pregnancy. METHODS: Data from a telephone survey of 7174 pregnant women were analyzed. RESULTS: In comparison with women whose pregnancies were intended, women with unintended pregnancies were more likely to report cigarette smoking and less like…
Promoting abstinence among relapsed chronic smokers: The effect of telephone support
OBJECTIVES: The present study used telephone support both to sustain abstinence and to encourage renewed quit attempts in smokers who had completed an intensive smoking cessation clinic. METHODS: Subjects were hard-core smokers (n = 1083) who had attended a multisession cessation clinic. They were then assigned randomly to receive telephone support (intervention calls 3, 9, and 21 months after the targeted cessation clinic quit date) or no furthe…
Adolescent parity and infant mortality, Minnesota, 1980 through 1988
The association of parity and infant mortality was studied using linked birth-death files for 46,985 infants born to 11- to 19-year-old Minnesota residents between 1980 and 1988. Compared with infants of primiparas, infants of multiparas were at twice the risk for infant and postneonatal death but at no increased risk for neonatal death. They were also at two to three times the risk for deaths due to accidents, infections, and sudden infant death…
Changes in adult cigarette smoking in the Minnesota Heart Health Program
OBJECTIVES. The Minnesota Heart Health Program was a research and demonstration project designed to reduce risk factors for heart disease in whole communities. This paper describes smoking-specific interventions and outcomes. METHODS. Three pairs of matched communities were included in the study. After baseline surveys, one community in each pair received a 5-year education program, while both cross-sectional and cohort surveys continued in all s…
Community type and the diffusion of campaign information
This study explored the role of community pluralism in the diffusion of information. More specifically, this paperused community pluralism as a contextual variable in studying the mediating impact of SES variables on program awareness and name recall of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention program in three communities of differing complexity. Data for this study came from 14 surveys over a period of five years. The study found that program a…
A comparison of smoking cessation clinic participants with smokers in the general population
Correspondence to Paul G McGovern, Division of Epidemiology, University of Minnesota, 1300 South Second Street, Suite 300, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454-1015, USA Abstract Objective To assess the representative ness of a smoking cessation clinic popu lation when compared to a population based sample of smokers from the same community. Subjects Smoking cessation clinic par ticipants were 1267 smokers aged 25-84 years who attended a 13-session eight…
Mass media and school interventions for cigarette smoking prevention: Effects 2 years after completion
The long-term cigarette smoking prevention effects of mass media and school interventions were assessed. Adolescents in two communities received both mass media and school interventions; those in two matching communities received only school interventions. Surveys of 5458 students were conducted at baseline in grades 4 through 6 and 2 years after the 4-year interventions were completed, when students were in grades 10 through 12. Students exposed…
Brief supportive telephone outreach as a recruitment and intervention strategy for smoking cessation
BACKGROUND. Formal efforts to recruit smokers into cessation programs have failed to reach large segments of the smoking population. Telephone intervention may represent a viable strategy to promote smoking cessation. An even more promising approach may be a combination of brief telephone support and outreach to identified smokers. METHODS. Telephone support for smoking cessation was provided to four identified smoker populations in Bloomington, …
Smoking cessation in women concerned about weight
BACKGROUND. Weight gain after smoking cessation is often cited by women smokers as a primary reason for not attempting to quit smoking or for relapsing after a cessation attempt. METHODS. A randomized trial of 417 women smokers was conducted to test the addition of two weight control strategies to a smoking cessation program. Participants received the standard smoking cessation program, the program plus nicotine gum, the program plus behavioral w…
Impact of a community health promotion program on existing organizations: The Minnesota Heart Health Program
Gender differences in cigarette smoking and quitting in a cohort of young adults
BACKGROUND. Smoking among young women is associated with a variety of negative health outcomes. Gender specific influences on smoking, quitting and attempting to quit are hypothesized to occur and may have implications for cessation programs. METHODS. Telephone surveys were conducted in a large (n = 6,711) cohort of young men and women (average age 19.2 years) which was first established in 1979 and has been resurveyed several times since then. Q…
Validity of telephone surveys in assessing cigarette smoking in young adults
Self-reports of cigarette smoking in a sample of young adults, aged 17 to 21 (n = 359) obtained by telephone were validated by home interview and saliva cotinine measurement. While most subjects were in agreement for their reported behaviors, the telephone methodology underestimated cigarette smoking rates by 3 to 4 per cent. Reported quitting by telephone was an unstable category with 35 per cent of quitters reporting smoking on home interview. …
Effects of Gender on Type A Assessment with the Matthews Youth Test for Health (Myth)
This study investigated the influence of childrens' and teachers' sex on Type A assessment using the Matthews Youth Test for Health (MYTH). Two hundred and ten teachers and student teachers read vignettes describing the behavior of children reacting to challenges in a school environment. Teachers were randomly assigned to one of four vignettes: (1) male Type A child; (2) female Type A child; (3) male Type B child; (4) female Type B child. Higher …
Smoking prevalence in a cohort of adolescents, including absentees, dropouts, and transfers
This study reports daily smoking rates among older adolescents obtained by a unique follow-up of a cohort originally identified in the seventh grade. Those no longer in their original school districts were located and interviewed by telephone. Smoking rates among dropouts exceeded 70 per cent in all age-sex groups. Smoking rates among transfers were as high as those among absentees. Including these subgroups raised smoking prevalence rates among …
Predicting experimentation with cigarettes: The childhood antecedents of smoking study (Cass)
In a two-year investigation of cigarette smoking incidence in a population of Minnesota adolescents, the perceived smoking behavior of friends at baseline was a strong predictor of smoking onset. Additional predictors included: siblings' smoking behavior, parents' education level, and seven psychosocial scales including independence and rebelliousness. Smoking prevention strategies which teach youth to cope with social influences are well founded…

Low-sodium, high-potassium diet: Feasibility and acceptability in a normotensive population
Sixty-nine normotensive volunteers participated in an eight-week study to test the feasibility and acceptability of two low-sodium (less than 70 mEq), high-potassium (greater than 100 mEq) diets. The diet groups differed only in the use of KCl salt substitute. Both dietary groups were able to reduce sodium and increase potassium intake compared to the control group. Urine sodium excretion decreased in the diet groups but no change was observed in…
