Cannabis Practices and Cannabinoid/Terpene Preferences in Medical Cannabis Patients Who Use Cannabis for Pain and Anxiety
Therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis products is complicated by the possibility to alleviate pain yet exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Little is known about how cannabis practices, and preferences for cannabinoids and terpenes differ among medical cannabis patients who use cannabis to relieve pain, or anxiety, or both. A concurrent explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized. The quantitative analytical sample ( n = 1,060)…
Assessing Measurement Invariance in Neighborhood Socioeconomic Environment Across Levels of Urbanicity
While neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) significantly impacts health outcomes, its measurement often assumes that the social and economic mechanisms that drive NSES operate similarly across the urban-rural continuum. This study aimed to develop a census-tract-level NSES measure that accounts for differences across community type and assesses its measurement invariance. Using data from 71,908 census tracts in the contiguous United States, w…
Categorizing community type for epidemiologic evaluation of community factors and chronic disease across the United States
Existing classifications of community type do not differentiate urban cores from surrounding non-rural areas, an important distinction for analyses of community features and their impact on health. Inappropriately classified community types can introduce serious methodologic flaws in epidemiologic studies and invalid inferences from findings. To address this, we evaluate a modification of the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Urban …
Comparing Global and Spatial Composite Measures of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status Across US Counties
Integrating Population, Health, and Environment Programs with Contraceptive Distribution in Rural Ethiopia
In rural Ethiopia, environmental degradation and a shortage of arable land impose a major toll on the population. Population, health, and environment (PHE) programs, such as that of the Ethio‐Wetlands and Natural Resources Association (EWNRA), have evolved to address these issues. This article examines the community‐based distribution (CBD) of family planning commodities in rural Ethiopia through EWNRA's large, multisectoral PHE program. Particip…
Tracing a Matrix of Gender
Numerous studies have elucidated how a multiplicity of contemporary western cultural ideas and values that constitute `normal' femininity are enmeshed in and central to the discursive production and regulation of girls' and women's `eating disordered' subjectivities, bodies and body management practices. In this article, we seek to build on that work by exploring how discursive constructions of `the feminine' are articulated in nurses' accounts o…
Medicalization and Women's Knowledge
For most of the twentieth century infant feeding knowledge has been constructed by medical scientists and health professionals. However, for a short time around the 1970s, New Zealand women (re)claimed the power to author their own knowledge based upon experience. This coincided with a dramatic return to breastfeeding on a national scale. Using New Zealand women's narratives of their infant feeding experiences over the past 50 years, this article…
