The Association Between Adolescent Mental Health Symptoms and Characteristics of Cigarette and E-Cigarette Use
INTRODUCTION: While there is a bi-directional relationship between internalizing mental health (IMH) symptoms (i.e., symptoms of depression, symptoms of anxiety) and nicotine use, it is unclear how IMH relates to patterns of use. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively examine the relationship between IMH symptoms and indicators of nicotine dependence, quit intentions, and quit attempts among adolescents who use cigarettes and/or e-cigaret…
Associations between interpersonal violence and cigarette smoking, e-cigarette use, and dual use among Mexican adolescent students
Objective: To assess associations between experienced violence and the use of combustible cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and of both products ("dual use") among adolescent students from Mexico. Methods: Data comes from an online survey among 3,046 adolescents (12-19 years) conducted between September and December 2021. Students reported experiences of neglect, physical, psychological, and sexual violence perpetrated by household members, and digital v…
Awareness of and support for banning e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products among Mexicans who smoke
Objective. This study investigates awareness of and support for Mexico’s bans on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products among adults who smoke. Methods. Data were analyzed from a 2020 survey of adult Mexicans who exclusively smoked cigarettes ( n = 1 324) or smoked cigarettes and used e-cigarettes ( n = 654). Weighted multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models estimated crude and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) for awareness of and support…
Changes in substance use among adolescents before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Guatemala
Among Guatemalan adolescents, COVID-19 restrictions were associated with a significant decrease in smoking, e-cigarette use, and binge drinking
Prevalence of Post-Covid conditions among Mexican Covid-19 survivors: A nationwide cross-sectional study
About one-third of the adult Mexican population who had COVID-19 in 2021 had Post-COVID conditions. Our population-based estimates can help assess potential priorities for PCC-related health services, which is critical in light of our weak health system and limited funding
To use or not to use electronic cigarettes? Reasons for use, stopping use and their behavioural sequelae among Mexicans who smoke
Specific reasons for using and stopping e-cigarettes predict changes in smoking and e-cigarette use, and targeting these beliefs could promote desired behaviour changes
Pre-post implementation policy support for warnings on cigarette filters in Canada among adults who smoke cigarettes
Just as increased support has been found for a range of tobacco control policies post-implementation, we found increased support for warnings on cigarettes during the transition period. However, support for this policy among people who smoke remains low. Other countries considering implementing this policy may consider these findings
Prevalence and correlates of e-cigarette source and use of e-cigarettes with nicotine: A case study of Mexico, where e-cigarettes are banned
Association of service facilities and amenities with adolescent birth rates in Mexican cities
Our findings highlight the importance of economic drivers and the need to invest in infrastructure, such as pharmacies, medical facilities, schools, and recreation areas and limit the availability of alcohol outlets to increase the impact of current adolescent pregnancy prevention programs
Gender inequality, women's empowerment, and adolescent birth rates in 363 Latin American cities
Adolescent birth rates and the urban social environment in 363 Latin American cities
INTRODUCTION: Latin America has the second-highest adolescent birth rate (ABR) worldwide. Variation between urban and rural areas and evidence linking country development to ABR points towards upstream factors in the causal pathway. We investigated variation in ABR within and between cities, and whether different features of urban social environments are associated with ABR. METHODS: We included 363 cities in 9 Latin American countries. We collec…
The fallacy of science is science: The impact of conflict of interest in vaping articles
Objective. To explore the association between reporting conflict of interest (COI) and having a positive outcome toward vaping in scientific articles. Methods. A cross-sectional study that analyzed a sample of 697 articles published between 2017 and 2020 regarding vaping. Information on the reporting of COI, type of COI (no conflict, conflict with the tobacco industry, pharmaceutical industry, or other), and country of publication were collected.…
Opioids, stimulants, and depressant drugs in fifteen Mexican Cities: A wastewater-based epidemiological study
Contribution of Second and Higher‐Order Births to Adolescent Fertility in Mexico
This study estimates the contribution of second and higher‐order births to the adolescent fertility rate in Mexico from 2006 to 2014. We used data from nationally representative surveys for 2006, 2009, and 2014 to estimate the adolescent fertility rate, and the first, second, and higher‐order birth components for the triennium prior to each survey at the national and state level. Our results showed that the second and higher‐order component was 1…
