Objectives. To assess the relationship between adult cannabis use and time-varying local measures of retail cannabis market presence before and after legalization (2012) and market opening (2014) in Washington State. Methods. We used 2009 to 2016 data on 85 135 adults’ current (any) and frequent (20 or more days) past-month cannabis use from the Washington Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System linked to local retailer proximity and density. …

Consequences of clean indoor air exemptions in Oregon
The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control has stimulated the passage of comprehensive clean indoor air laws throughout the world.1 Although WHO guidelines stress the importance of universal protection from secondhand smoke in such laws,2 many states in the USA exempt certain locations such as tobacco retail establishments and tobacco bars/cigar lounges.3 ,4 Tobacco waterpipe (ie, hookah) establishments are often exempt from these laws, are …

Using Text Messaging to Contact Difficult-to-Reach Study Participants
Kharbanda et al.1 recently discussed the potential use of text messaging for immunization reminders. In addition to investigating how text messaging could improve this and other health-related outcomes,2 we recommend researchers consider using it for contacting study participants expected to be difficult to reach. In our study “Safe Point,” we pilot-tested a program that trained secondary exchangers—methamphetamine injectors who frequent our syri…
Reducing HIV and Partner Violence Risk Among Women with Criminal Justice System Involvement
Is a statewide tobacco quitline an appropriate service for specific populations
The Washington QL appeared effective and well received by callers from the specific populations studied. States choosing to promote their QL more aggressively should feel confident that a tobacco QL can be an effective and well received cessation service for smokers who call from a broad range of communities
The Impact of Clean Indoor Air Exemptions and Preemption Policies on the Prevalence of a Tobacco-Specific Lung Carcinogen Among Nonsmoking Bar and Restaurant Workers
Objectives. We studied the impact of clean indoor air law exemptions and preemption policies on the prevalence of a tobacco-specific lung carcinogen—4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK)—among nonsmoking bar and restaurant workers. Methods.secondhand smoke were compared with results from participants who were exposed to it. Results. Participants exposed to workplace secondhand smoke were more likely to have any detectable level of …
Women's acceptance of the diaphragm
The vaginal diaphragm is a candidate for a female-controlled method of reducing risk of HIV/STI acquisition. We examined the association between relationship and partner factors and three measures of diaphragm acceptability: current use, consistency of use, and satisfaction with use. We conducted a telephone survey with 448 female members of a managed care organization, aged 18-49, who currently used contraception (including 140 diaphragm users, …
Acceptability of an existing, female-controlled contraceptive method that could potentially protect against hiv
Acceptability of the Vaginal Diaphragm Among Current Users
CONTEXT: Interest in the diaphragm has been growing, in part because it is a female-controlled method that might protect against HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). A better understanding of diaphragm acceptability is needed. METHODS: In 2001–2002, female members of a managed care organization were interviewed by telephone. The 215 participants, aged 19–49, who reported diaphragm use during the past three months were asked about t…

Reducing the Risk of Sexual HIV Transmission
BACKGROUND: Sexual acquisition of HIV is influenced by choice of partner, sex act, and condom use. However, current risk-reduction strategies focus mainly on condom use. GOAL: To estimate the contribution of choice of partner, sex act, and condom use on the per-act relative and absolute risks for HIV infection. STUDY DESIGN: Per-act relative risk for HIV infection was calculated with use of estimates of HIV prevalence, risk of condom failure, HIV…
