Evidence of Nicotine Dependence in Adolescents Who Use Juul and Similar Pod Devices
Background : The use of high-nicotine content e-cigarettes (so-called pods, such as Juul) among adolescents raises concerns about early onset of nicotine addiction. Methods : In this analysis of adolescents surveyed from April 2017-April 2018, we compare survey responses and urinary cotinine of pod vs. non-pod using past-week e-cigarette users aged 12-21. Results : More pod users categorized themselves as daily users compared to non-pod users (63…
High exposure to nicotine among adolescents who use Juul and other vape pod systems (‘pods’)
Although e-cigarette use among US youth decreased in 2016 for the first time since 2011,1 2 with the introduction of the new generation of nicotine vapourisers, ‘pods,’ this trend may not continue. Pods are compact, lightweight, ultraportable and easy to use inconspicuously. Popularity of these devices has increased in the past year, most notably, one brand, Juul. Use of Juul and similar products (‘ juuling ’) among youth has parents, teachers an…
Psychosocial predictors of mammography history among Chinese American women without a recent mammogram
Chinese American women have lower rates of mammography screening compared with non-Hispanic White women. Although the extent of perceived barriers, as conceptualized by the Health Belief Model, have been shown to distinguish between currently non-adherent Chinese American women who have ever and never had a mammogram, it is less clear which types of perceived barriers differentiate them. One hundred twenty-eight Chinese American women in the New …

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Cognitive Function in Women
Objectives. We examined whether neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) is associated with cognitive functioning in older US women and whether this relationship is explained by associations between NSES and vascular, health behavior, and psychosocial factors. Methods. We assessed women aged 65 to 81 years (n = 7479) who were free of dementia and took part in the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study. Linear mixed models examined the cross-secti…
A Provider Intervention to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening in County Health Centers
BACKGROUND: Publicly-funded health centers serve disadvantaged populations who underuse colorectal cancer screening (CRC). Because physicians play a key role in patient adherence to screening, provider interventions within health center practices could improve the delivery/utilization of CRC screening. METHODS: A 2-group study design was used with 4 pairs of health centers randomized to the intervention or control condition. The provider interven…
