Sex Disparities in Smoked and Smokeless Tobacco Use Among Displaced Populations in Mizoram, India: A Cross-Sectional Study
Displaced populations face an elevated risk for tobacco use, especially smokeless tobacco (SLT), due to its affordability and acceptability in regions like Mizoram State (India) and Chin State (Myanmar). Despite this, limited research exists on tobacco use patterns and contributing factors among displaced populations. This study aimed to examine smoked tobacco and SLT use among displaced communities in Mizoram, India. We collected data across nin…
Internet Use and Psychosomatic Symptoms among University Students: Cross-Sectional Study
Computer science students reported more frequent psychological symptoms compared to health science students and less somatic symptoms
Behavioral Interventions Using Consumer Information Technology as Tools to Advance Health Equity
The digital divide related to consumer information technologies (CITs) has diminished, thus increasing the potential to use CITs to overcome barriers of access to health interventions as well as to deliver interventions situated in the context of daily lives. However, the evidence base regarding the use and impact of CIT-enabled interventions in health disparity populations lags behind that for the general population. Literature and case examples…
Identifying the Complexity of Multiple Risk Factors for Obesity Among Urban Latinas
The prevalence of obesity is rising rapidly among Hispanics/Latinas. We evaluated the prevalence of being obese or overweight and associated risk factors among 630 low-income, Latina women from ambulatory care clinics in Upper Manhattan. Overall, 37 % of the sample was overweight and 41 % of the sample was obese, and yet, almost half of women who are overweight considered their weight "just about right." After adjusting for socio-demographic, beh…
Physical activity and cardiovascular risk factors among rural and urban groups and rural-to-urban migrants in Peru: A cross-sectional study
People living in a rural area had much higher levels of physical activity and lower risk of being overweight and obese compared to those living in an urban area of Lima. Study participants from the same rural area who had migrated to Lima had levels of physical inactivity and obesity similar to those who had always lived in Lima. Interventions aimed at maintaining higher levels of physical activity among rural-to-urban migrants may help reduce th…
