Student and Staff Knowledge of School Tobacco Policies and Student E‐Cigarette Use, California 2022–2023
BACKGROUND: Since 2016, California has prohibited e-cigarette use alongside smoking in K-12 schools. School tobacco policies may reduce student e-cigarette use. METHODS: We analyzed 2022 to 2023 California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) and School Staff Survey data (n = 219,114). Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine associations between student and staff awareness of school tobacco policies and current e-cigarette use, adjusting for …

A Risk Prediction Model for Long-term Prescription Opioid Use
BACKGROUND: Tools are needed to aid clinicians in estimating their patients' risk of transitioning to long-term opioid use and to inform prescribing decisions. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a model that predicts previously opioid-naive patients' risk of transitioning to long-term use. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a statewide population-based prognostic study. SUBJECTS: Opioid-naive (no prescriptions in previous 2…
Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
Objectives. To estimate the effect of California’s prescription drug monitoring program’s (PDMP) registration mandate on use of the PDMP. Methods. We evaluated the effect of California’s mandatory PDMP registration law by fitting time series models on the percentage of clinicians registered for California’s PDMP and the percentage of clinicians who were active PDMP users (users who created ≥ 1 patient prescription reports in a given month) from 2…
Cognitive Interviews of Vietnamese Americans on Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Health Educational Materials
The purpose of this study was to better understand if a health educational presentation using culturally adapted materials was understandable and culturally appropriate, and that the content was retained, in an older Vietnamese American population. This study used cognitive interviewing. A convenient sampling was used to recruit eight participants by staff of a community-based organization from its client base. This is the first study to document…
Effectiveness of Lay Health Worker Outreach in Reducing Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening in Vietnamese Americans
Objectives. We conducted a cluster randomized controlled study of a lay health worker (LHW) intervention to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among Vietnamese Americans, who typically have lower rates than do non-Hispanic Whites. Methods. We randomized 64 LHWs to 2 arms. Each LHW recruited 10 male or female participants who had never had CRC screening (fecal occult blood test, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy). Intervention LHWs led 2…
Effectiveness of a Controlled Trial to Promote Colorectal Cancer Screening in Vietnamese Americans
Objectives. We conducted a controlled trial of a public education and provider intervention to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among Vietnamese Americans, who typically have lower rates than non-Hispanic Whites. Methods. The public education intervention included a Vietnamese-language CRC screening media campaign, distribution of health educational material, and a hotline. The provider intervention consisted of continuing medical…
Young Latinas and Abortion
Latina women have often been portrayed as holding strong traditional family values leading to a greater propensity for rejection of contraception and abortion. Increasingly, the literature has consistently shown that Latina women use contraception effectively when available; however, much less is known about the prevalence of abortion and the factors related to its use in this population. In this article we examine Latinas' use of abortion and id…
Cancer Screening in Public Health Clinics
OBJECTIVES: To determine how screening for breast and cervical cancer in public health clinics was associated with overall clinic utilization. METHODS: Evidence of screening and clinic visits between June 1989 and May 1992 was obtained by medical record audit for a random sample of 1825 women aged 40 to 75 attending eight public health clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. RESULTS: With an average number of visits (4 per year), women who did not…
Quality of Data in Multiethnic Health Surveys
Multiple complex elements affect measurement in a multiethnic survey, many of which are neither readily observed nor understood through standard tests of data quality. Multiethnic survey questions are best evaluated using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods that reveal different types and causes of problems
Sources of support and the physical and mental well-being of young women with breast cancer
