A method to guide community planning and evaluation efforts in tobacco control using data on smoking during pregnancy
Modelling trends in the prevalence of smoking using locally collected data enables communities to set reasonable future tobacco control objectives that account for historical trends in progress
Breast and cervical cancer screening in a low-income managed care sample: The efficacy of physician letters and phone calls
A randomized trial was conducted to evaluate the combined impact of a physician reminder letter and a telephone contact on the use of Pap tests and mammograms in a low-income managed care program. Women 40 to 79 years of age who were past due for cancer screening were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Medical claims were reviewed after 6 months to determine intervention effectiveness. The odds of receiving all needed cancer s…
Smoking as a contributing cause of death in Wisconsin, United States, 1990
The utility of HMO data for the surveillance of chronic diseases
In an area served by a single medical center that operates as both health maintenance organization (HMO) and fee-for-service clinic, we reviewed existing computerized medical records to determine the prevalence of 11 diseases. Standardized medical care utilization prevalence ratios, comparing the annual prevalences in the two groups, varied from 1.38 for rheumatoid arthritis to 0.60 for liver cirrhosis. Unless supplemented by data from hospitals,…

Impact of a smoke-free policy on prisoners in Wisconsin, United States
Correspondence to : Dr G Pezzino, Wisconsin Division of Health, 1400 East Washington Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53703-3041, USA. Abstract Objective -To assess the impact of re strictive smoking policies in prisons on prisoners9 smoking attitudes and beha viours. Design A prospective observational study was carried out in a smoke-free prison and in a prison where smoking was allowed. Prisoners completed a question naire at the time of release. Smo…
The effect of state cigarette tax increases on cigarette sales, 1955 to 1988
We evaluated the effect of state cigarette tax increases on cigarette sales in the 50 states for the years 1955 to 1988. State cigarette tax increases were associated with an average decline in cigarette consumption of three cigarette packs per capita (about 2.4%). Larger tax increases were associated with larger declines in consumption. Raising state cigarette taxes appears to be an effective public health intervention that can reduce cigarette …
A comparison of alcohol sales data with survey data on self-reported alcohol use in 21 states
We used data from 21 states that participated in the 1985 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to compare state-specific per capita self-reported alcohol consumption and the prevalence of three drinking behaviors with state-specific per capita sales. The correlation coefficient for per capita sales and per capita self-reported consumption for the 21 states was 0.81. Per capita sales were also significantly correlated with the prevalence of …
State-specific progress toward the 1990 objective for the nation for cigarette smoking prevalence
We predicted the smoking prevalences for 1990 for each state in the US, assuming that the decline in each state from 1985-1990 would be the same as the decline in the US from 1965-1985. In 1985, only three states had smoking prevalences less than 25 percent. Based upon the observed decline in smoking in the US from 1965-1985 of 0.5 percent per year, we predict that only seven states will have smoking prevalences less than 25 percent by 1990. Stat…
Smoking by blacks and whites: Socioeconomic and demographic differences
Using data from the 1985 National Health Interview Survey for persons aged 25-64 years, we controlled simultaneously for socioeconomic status (SES), demographic factors, and race in multivariate logistic regression analyses. We found that the odds of ever smoking are not higher for Blacks compared with Whites, when the other variables are controlled. By contrast, the odds of heavy smoking for Blacks are far less than for Whites, while Blacks are …
The social and economic costs of alcohol abuse in Minnesota, 1983
Alcohol abuse in the State of Minnesota has an impact on health, health care resources, and the economy. Alcohol abuse was related to 3.3 per cent (1,150) of deaths in Minnesota in 1983; of these, almost one-third were the result of fatal injuries. Alcohol abuse contributed to 12 per cent (33,909) of all years of potential life lost, two-thirds of which were secondary to injury. The estimated cost of alcohol abuse ranged from $1.4 billion to $2.1…
Alcohol and body weight in United States adults
Alcohol contributes more than 10 per cent of the total caloric intake of adult drinkers in the United States. However, the effect of alcohol on body weight has not been adequately studied in the general population. The association between weight and frequency of alcohol consumption was examined in two national cross-sectional surveys: the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANESII; n = 10,929) and the Behavioral Risk Factor …
