The Relationship Between Social Determinants of Health and Cigarette Smoking Behaviors Among Adults in the United States, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), 2023
Social determinants of health (SDoH) comprise a broad array of social conditions, such as access to food and housing, that facilitate or impede individual behavior. The aim of this study was to assess the association between SDoH and cigarette smoking-related outcomes among U.S. adults (aged ≥18 years) by using data from the 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Cross-sectional data were obtained from the Social Determinants an…

Use of Social Network Analysis to Identify Popular Opinion Leaders for a Youth-Led Sexual Violence Prevention Initiative
In the current article, we describe an innovative sexual violence (SV) prevention initiative that used social network analysis to identify youth and adult popular opinion leaders who were subsequently trained in best practices in SV prevention (e.g., bystander intervention) at a kickoff event (i.e., camp) of the initiative. We provide information on recruitment strategies, participation rates and how those rates varied by some demographic factors…

Results: Controlling for individual and …
Smoking Diffusion through Networks of Diverse, Urban American Adolescents over the High School Period

One thousand four hundred and twenty-five racially and ethnically diverse youth from four high schools in Los Angeles were surveyed four times over the high school period from 2010 to 2013. Probit regression models and stochastic actor-based models for network …
