Effects of textual warnings and warning symbols on cannabis advertisements on product perceptions among US young adults
States with legalized non-medical cannabis require different warnings on packages and advertisements; yet, studies examining effects of textual warnings and different warning symbols on young adults' perceptions are limited. In 2024, US young adults ages 18-34 (n = 3 579) completed an online survey-based experiment using a 2 × 4 factorial design (textual warning: no, yes; warning symbol: none, leaf, THC, leaf + THC), then reported on 5 perception…
Neighborhood Stress in Relation to Mental Health Symptoms and the Moderating Role of Perceived Stress in US Young Adults
Socio-political indicators of food insecurity
Objective: Food insecurity (FI) prevalence has increased globally, including the United States (US), and disproportionately affects certain subgroups (e.g. women). Both food-related and non-food-related sociopolitical indicators may impact FI rates; however, these associations are underexplored. This study assessed select state-level sociopolitical indicators among states with higher and lower FI rates compared to the national average. Design: Cr…
Exposure to Cannabis in Social Networks and Advertising in Relation to Cannabis-Related Perceptions, Motives, and Use Behaviors Among Young Adults in the US
Within the expanding US cannabis market, young adult cannabis use has increased, underscoring the need to understand key influences on cannabis use. This study examined cannabis-related social and marketing exposures in relation to cannabis use and related mechanisms among US young adults. = 26.39, 59.4% female, 37.4% racial minority, 19.0% Hispanic). Path analyses assessed: (1) parental use, friends' use, and advertising exposure in relation to …
Expanded child support grant eligibility and later-life mortality among mothers in rural South Africa
The South African Child Support Grant (CSG) may be associated with mother's mortality via pathways linked to CSG spending, however, this relationship remains uncertain. To identify the association between CSG eligibility and mortality among mothers, we exploited exogenous variation in CSG-eligibility due to iterative age-eligibility expansions. Data were obtained from the Agincourt Health and Socio-Demographic Surveillance System. Mothers contrib…
State Preemption and Local Tobacco Control
State preemption of local laws may impede tobacco control, yet little research has examined local policy activity before, during, and after preemption. This study addresses this gap. We summarized state laws preempting local smoke-free workplace, youth access, and licensure laws (CDC's STATE) and local legislative activity before, during, and after preemption (Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation) across 1999-2021. Preemption existed for s…
Household food and water insecurity and its association with diarrhoea, respiratory illness, and stunting in Ecuadorian children under 5 years
Household food and water insecurity has been previously associated with adverse health consequences in children. However, these relationships are understudied in middle-income Latin American populations such as in Ecuador, where a high prevalence of food and water insecurity has been reported. Using cross-sectional data from 2018 Ecuadorian National Health and Nutrition Survey, we examined the association of household food insecurity (HFI), house…
Household food insecurity and physical activity behaviour in Ecuadorian children and adolescents
Objective: Ecuador has a high prevalence of household food insecurity (HFI) and is undergoing nutritional and epidemiologic transition. Evidence from high-income countries has reported negative or null associations between HFI and physical activity (PA) in children. It remains uncertain whether the same is true of those from low- and middle-income countries like Ecuador whose environmental and socio-demographic characteristics are distinct from t…
Impact of the South African Child Support Grant on memory decline and dementia probability in rural and low-income mothers, 2014-2021
Association between Handwashing Behavior and Infectious Diseases among Low-Income Community Children in Urban New Delhi, India
Diarrheal diseases and respiratory infections (RI) are two leading causes of childhood mortality in low and middle-income countries. Effective handwashing at critical time-points may mitigate these diseases. However, there is a lack of published data investigating this association in school-aged children in India. This study is part of a larger prospective handwashing intervention study in a low-income community in New Delhi, India examining the …
Antibiotic Resistance in Microbes from Street Fruit Drinks and Hygiene Behavior of the Vendors in Delhi, India
Microbial contamination of fruit juices has caused major outbreaks, leading to significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The inept hygiene and safety practices followed by the juice vendors are the leading risk factors of the microbial contamination of juices. In this pilot study, the five most crowded markets in urban Delhi, including Kamla Nagar, University of Delhi (north campus), Tilak Nagar, Chandni Chowk, and Rohini, were…
Health Implications of Drinking Water Salinity in Coastal Areas of Bangladesh
Coastal areas in South Asian countries are particularly vulnerable to elevated water salinity. Drinking water salinity has been found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Our study aimed to find if excess drinking water salinity was associated with increased hospital visits with an array of health effects in coastal sub-districts of Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 157 participan…
