Translational Research in Cancer Screening
The population-level implementation of innovative, evidence-based medical recommendations for adopting health-behaviors depends on the last link in the translation chain: the users. "User-friendly" medical interventions aimed at engaging users to adopt recommended health behaviors are best developed in a collaborative bio-medical and social sciences setting. In the 1990s, National Breast and Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Programs were launche…
Harnessing the Question–Behavior Effect to Enhance Colorectal Cancer Screening in an mHealth Experiment
Objectives. To assess whether asking questions about a future behavior changes this behavior (i.e., the question–behavior effect) when applied to a population-level intervention to enhance colorectal cancer screening. Methods. In 2013, text-message reminders were sent to a national sample of 50 000 Israeli women and men aged 50 to 74 years following a fecal occult blood test invitation. Participants were randomized into 4 intervention groups (2 i…
Laypersons' views of material incentives for enhancing colorectal cancer screening
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) early detection improves health outcomes; screening programmes invest efforts in initiating invitations to target populations to be tested. Enhanced adherence is essential for reduction of morbidity and mortality. Participation rates in Israel are still relatively low. OBJECTIVE: To explore lay views regarding the concept of receiving material incentives in exchange for enhanced adherence to CRC screening. RESE…

Retirement and primary cardiac arrest in males
We investigated the association between retirement and primary cardiac arrest (PCA) in 126 male cases and controls, 25-75 years of age, without prior heart disease or comorbidity. After adjustment for age alone, retirement was not associated with an increased risk of PCA, (OR = 1.1; 95% confidence intervals = 0.5, 2.4). This lack of association was not uniform across age strata, however. In 10 of 19 discordant pairs 60 or more years of age, the c…
Wife's level of education and husband's risk of primary cardiac arrest
Data from a case-control study were analyzed to examine wife's education and risk of primary cardiac arrest in the husband. Men whose wives had more than 12 years of education had 80 per cent the rate of men with less educated wives (odds ratio = 0.8, 95% confidence interval = 0.5, 1.3), after adjustment for risk factors. There was no evidence of a status incongruity effect. These data are inconsistent with reports of positive associations betwee…
