Cardiovascular Outcomes among Combustible-Tobacco and Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) Users in Waves 1 through 5 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study, 2013–2019
This study found no difference in CVD incidence by tobacco status over three 3 year intervals, even for tobacco quitters. It is possible that additional waves of PATH Study data, combined with information from other large longitudinal cohorts with careful tracking of ENDS use patterns may help to further clarify this relationship
Cardiovascular Risk Factor and Disease Measures from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study
These analyses suggest reliability and concurrent validity regarding self-reported cardiovascular risk factors and disease assessed in the PATH Study
Increasing Physical Activity among Breast Cancer Survivors by Modulating Temporal Orientation with rTMS
Maintaining adequate amounts of physical activity is a critical component of survivorship care for women with breast cancer. Increased physical activity is associated with increases in well-being, quality of life, and longevity, but women with cancer face unique, cancer-related factors that might affect physical activity. Consistent with the Competing Neurobehavioral Decision Systems model of decision making, we proposed to decrease delay discoun…
The Perceived Impact of Covid-19 among Treatment-Seeking Smokers
The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on behavioral health, including tobacco use, are not fully known. The current study sought to measure the perceived impact of COVID-19 and the resulting stay-at-home orders in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Buffalo, New York on smokers enrolled in four smoking cessation trials between March 2020 and July 2020. The survey collected quantitative data regarding life changes due to COVID-19, health/exposure s…
Dosing parameters for the effects of high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation on smoking cessation
Clinical Trials NCT03865472 (retrospectively registered). The first participant was fully enrolled on November 26, 2018. Registration was posted on March 7, 2019
Tobacco Dependence Treatment in Oncology
Despite the importance of smoking cessation to cancer care treatment, historically, few cancer centers have provided treatment for tobacco dependence. To address this gap, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) launched the Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3i). As part of this effort, this study examined implementation outcomes in a cohort of cancer survivors (CSs) who smoked cigarettes in the first year of an ongoing process to develop and impl…
Menthol Cigarettes and Smoking Cessation among Adult Smokers in the US
Objectives: In this study, we identified differences in cessation, nicotine dependence, and quit attempts between smokers using non-menthol cigarettes and smokers using menthol cigarettes differing in menthol delivery method (eg, menthol in the tobacco only, crushable capsules only or both). Methods: We analyzed data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, Waves 1 and 2 (W1 and W2), to determine associations of delivery method…

Use of a liquid nicotine delivery product to promote smoking cessation
These results support the efficacy of the liquid nicotine delivery system in smoking cessation. If this nicotine delivery product proves to be effective in larger trials, it could represent an inexpensive, readily accessible and well-tolerated agent to promote smoking cessation
Does the number of free nicotine patches given to smokers calling a quitline influence quit rates
No clear cut dose response relationship was observed between the number of free nicotine patches sent to smokers and smoking outcomes. Baseline differences in the characteristics of the groups compared could account for the null findings, and a more definitive randomized trial is warranted
Changes in Cancer Incidence Patterns Among a Northeastern American Indian Population
Purpose: This manuscript examines shifts in patterns of cancer incidence among the Seneca Nation of Indians (SNI) for the interval 1955‐1969 compared to 1990‐2004. Methods: A retrospective cohort design was used to examine cancer incidence among the SNI during 2 time intervals: 1955‐1969 and 1990‐2004. Person‐years at risk were multiplied by cancer incidence rates for New York State, exclusive of New York City, over 5‐year intervals. A computer‐a…
Smokers’ acceptance of “cold calls” offering quitline services
Although telephone quitline utilisation is low, these data suggest that the demand is high and "cold calls" may be a strategy to extend the use of quitline cessation services
Early Evidence on the Effectiveness of Clean Indoor Air Legislation in New York State
In July 2003, New York State implemented the Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA) to reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). In this cross-sectional study, workers (n=168) completed an interview assessing ETS exposure and provided urine for cotinine analysis. Hospitality workers recruited after implementation of the CIAA had significant reductions in ETS exposure and urine cotinine, compared with those recruited before implementation. The Ne…
Brief Report Evaluation of a Childhood Lead Questionnaire in Predicting Elevated Blood Lead Levels in a Rural Community
The accuracy of a lead screening questionnaire in predicting elevated blood lead levels was examined in a pediatric practice in a rural part of New York state. A retrospective chart review was used to collect data on children ages 9 to 24 months who presented for well‐child visits. Children with both questionnaire and lead level results available in the chart were included in the study (n = 171). The mean blood lead level among all children was 1…
Breast cancer screening beliefs by practice location
Development of an evidence-based consensus statement regarding breast cancer screening would support a single set of unambiguous guidelines for implementation in all primary care settings, thus decreasing variations in how breast cancer screening is approached across varied clinical settings
Explaining the de-prioritization of primary prevention
The secondary-tertiary prevention PCP model sustained the expectation of immediacy of corrective action, cure, and satisfaction sought by patients and physicians alike, and, thereby, de-prioritized primary prevention in practice. Multiple barriers beyond the immediate control of PCP must be surmounted for the full integration of primary prevention in primary care practice. However, independent of other barriers, physician cognitive value of prima…
Regular use of aspirin and pancreatic cancer risk
These data suggest that regular aspirin use may not be associated with lower risk of pancreatic cancer
Physician perceptions of primary prevention
The success of the future practice tool will be largely dependent on its ability to "fit" primary prevention into the clinical culture of diagnoses and treatment sustained by physicians, patients, and payers. The tool's message output must be formatted to facilitate physician delivery of patient-tailored behavioral counseling in an accurate, confident, and efficacious manner. Also, the tool's health behavior messages should be behavior-specific, …
Cancer Control Research Among American Indians and Alaska Natives
Cancer represents an increasingly important health problem impacting the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives (A1 / ANs). At the turn of the century and as recently as the 1950s, cancer was such an uncommon occurrence among AI/ANs that they were thought ,to be immune. Today, malignant disease represents a leading cause of death among these peoples. This relatively sudden increase has left communities and health agencies unprepared…
Relationship between population density and rates of injury mortality in New York State (exclusive of New York City), 1978–1982
The relationship between population density and rates of mortality from unintentional and intentional injuries is examined using mortality data from New York State (exclusive of New York City), 1978–1982. Records for 26,118 individuals with an underlying cause of death due to injury were assigned to population density quintiles based on residence of decedent at time of death. Mortality rates for each population density quintile were examined sepa…
Bone cancer incidence rates in New York State
BACKGROUND: Recent animal studies of the potential carcinogenicity of fluoride prompted an examination of bone cancer incidence rates. METHODS: Trends in the incidence of primary bone cancers, including the incidence of osteosarcomas were examined among residents of New York State, exclusive of New York City. Average annual osteosarcoma incidence rates in fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas were also compared. RESULTS: Among persons less than 3…
