Associations Between Parent’s and Child’s Total Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior among Hispanic/Latino Families
Modifiable Risk Factors for Cognitive Decline in Community-Dwelling Older Adults Differ by Sex and Apoe4
Objectives The extent to which lifestyle shapes trajectories of normal cognitive aging, and the factors with highest potential for mitigating cognitive decline, remain poorly characterized. Methods Participants of the Rancho Bernardo Study underwent demographic, health, and behavioral characterization at baseline, along with up to 7 cognitive assessments over a 27-year follow-up period. Factor analysis of 24 baseline risk variables identified 9 c…
Perception of harm is strongly associated with complete ban on in-home cannabis smoking
Our study demonstrates perceiving cSHS as harmful is strongly associated with having a complete in-home cannabis smoking ban. With almost a third of US adults perceiving cSHS as at least "mostly safe", there is strong need to educate the general population about potential risks associated with cSHS exposure to raise awareness and encourage adoption of household rules prohibiting indoor cannabis smoking
Characterizing longitudinal change in accelerometry-based moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos and the Framingham Heart Study
These findings highlight potentially high-risk groups for targeted MVPA intervention
Understanding the Relationship between Environmental Arsenic and Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness among African-American and European-American Men in North Carolina
High-level exposure to arsenic, a known carcinogen and endocrine disruptor, is associated with prostate cancer (PCa) mortality. Whether low-level exposure is associated with PCa aggressiveness remains unknown. We examined the association between urinary arsenic and PCa aggressiveness among men in North Carolina. This cross-sectional study included 463 African-American and 491 European-American men with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed pr…

Cigarette pack messages about toxic chemicals

Symptoms during Adolescents’ First Use of Cigarettes and E-Cigarettes
Symptoms adolescents experience during their first time using a cigarette predict their current use, but little is known regarding the symptoms experienced during first e-cigarette use. We conducted a pilot study to understand the symptoms adolescents experience when they first tried cigarettes and e-cigarettes and the associations between these symptoms and current use. Participants were 41 adolescents in two U.S. cities who had tried cigarettes…
Negative affect, message reactance and perceived risk
Pictorial cigarette pack warnings increased quit intentions by increasing negative affect. Message reactance partially attenuated this increase in intentions. The opposing associations of negative affect and reactance on perceived risk may explain why pictorial warnings did not lead to observable changes in perceived risk
Effect of Pictorial Cigarette Pack Warnings on Changes in Smoking Behavior
IMPORTANCE: Pictorial warnings on cigarette packs draw attention and increase quit intentions, but their effect on smoking behavior remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of adding pictorial warnings to the front and back of cigarette packs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This 4-week between-participant randomized clinical trial was carried out in California and North Carolina. We recruited a convenience sample of adult cigarette …
Recruiting Diverse Smokers
To help tobacco control research better include vulnerable populations, we sought to identify effective ways to recruit diverse smokers. In 2014-2015, we recruited 2149 adult cigarette smokers in California and North Carolina, United States, to participate in a randomized trial of pictorial cigarette pack warnings. The most effective means of recruiting smokers were the classified advertising website Craigslist (28% of participants), word of mout…
Latino fathers’ feeding-related parenting strategies on children’s eating
This study examined father and child sociodemographic characteristics in relation to fathers' feeding-related parenting strategies and whether their parenting strategies were associated with children's reported fruit and vegetable (FV), weekly fast-food, and daily sugar-sweetened beverage intake among 81 Latino father-child pairs. Father's employment status, acculturation, number of children in the home, and child's age and weight status were ass…
