Protocol for a Mixed-Methods Study to Understand Disparities and Identify Intervention Targets for Older Adults With Dementia Who Use Languages Other than English (ImPaCT Dementia)
Older adults with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD) and individuals who use languages other than English (LOE) represent rapidly growing populations in the United States. For those with ADRD who use LOE for healthcare, the intersection of cognitive impairment and language barriers creates communication and care challenges, placing this population at increased risk of poorer outcomes. Palliative care, with its focus on communication…
Exploring the Relationship Between Racial Microaggressions and Substance Use in Asian Americans
BACKGROUND: While racial microaggressions (behaviors and statements made toward a person with or without the intention of expressing prejudice) are associated with increased substance use among several racial groups, the relationship between racial microaggressions and substance use in Asian American adults is less defined. It is also unknown if ethnic identity strength (the quality of an individual's affiliation with their ethnic group) moderate…

Comparing the Use Experiences, Contextual Factors, and Recovery Strategies Associated with Different Substances
BACKGROUND: Research on use experience and recovery has often focused on a single substance or polysubstance use. However, there can be substance-specific differences; understanding these can be critical to developing targeted interventions. We examined social media relating to alcohol, cannabis, and/or opioids to: 1) construct use profiles highlighting salient settings, actors, and contextual factors; and 2) characterize differences in recovery …
Examining Cannabis, Tobacco, and Vaping Discourse on Reddit
Background: Perceptions of tobacco, cannabis, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are continually evolving in the United States. Exploring these characteristics through user generated text sources may provide novel insights into product use behavior that are challenging to identify using survey-based methods. The objective of this study was to compare the topics frequently discussed among Reddit members in cannabis, tobacco, and ENDS-…
Timeline Drawing and the Online Scrapbook
This article explores the use of two visual methods to facilitate elicitation of temporal data in a qualitative interview study-specifically, a timeline drawing activity and collaborative viewing of an interface for visualizing personal social media histories, the Online Scrapbook-for eliciting participants' recollections and reflections upon their experience of chronic illness. This study makes a novel contribution in the use of an interactive, …
Conflicting health information
Conflicting health information is increasing in amount and visibility, as evidenced most recently by the controversy surrounding the risks and benefits of childhood vaccinations. The mechanisms through which conflicting information affects individuals are poorly understood; thus, we are unprepared to help people process conflicting information when making important health decisions. In this viewpoint article, we describe this problem, summarize i…
