The South African breast cancer and HIV outcomes study
The South African Breast Cancer and HIV Outcomes prospective cohort (SABCHO) study was established to investigate survival determinants among HIV-positive and HIV-negative SA women with breast cancer. This paper describes common and unique characteristics of the cancer centres and their participants, examining disparities in pathways to diagnosis, treatment resources and approaches adopted to mitigate resource constraints. The Johannesburg (Jhb),…
Attitudes toward tobacco cessation and lung cancer screening in two South African communities
Among men in South Africa, the prevalence of tobacco smoking is as high as 33%. Although smoking is responsible for most lung cancer in South Africa, occupational and environmental exposures contribute greatly to risk. We conducted a tobacco and lung cancer screening needs assessment and administered surveys to adults who smoked >100 cigarettes in their lifetime in Johannesburg (urban) and Kimberley (rural). We compared tobacco use, risk exposure…
Socioeconomic and Outdoor Meteorological Determinants of Indoor Temperature and Humidity in New York City Dwellings
Numerous mechanisms link outdoor weather and climate conditions to human health. It is likely that many health conditions are more directly affected by indoor rather than outdoor conditions. Yet, the relationship between indoor temperature and humidity conditions to outdoor variability, and the heterogeneity of the relationship among different indoor environments are largely unknown. The authors use 5–14-day measures of indoor temperature and rel…
Neighbourhood immigrant acculturation and diet among Hispanic female residents of New York City
Objective To identify predominant dietary patterns among Hispanic women and to determine whether adherence to dietary patterns is predicted by neighbourhood-level factors: linguistic isolation, poverty rate and the retail food environment. Design Cross-sectional analyses of predictors of adherence to dietary patterns identified from principal component analysis of data collected using the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation FFQ. Census data…

Regional and racial disparities in breast cancer-specific mortality
The limitations of breast cancer screening for first-degree relatives of breast cancer patients
Bitter controversy surrounds the recommendation of mammographic breast-cancer screening for women aged 40 and 49 years of average risk. This paper considers the case for screening women in their 40s with higher risk, specifically women who have one or more first-degree relatives with breast cancer. A review of the literature and of current knowledge suggests that screening such women is more cost-effective, in the sense of having a higher yield p…
