Fell on Black Days
Chris Cornell was a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and pioneer of grunge music. Cornell struggled with mental illness and addiction and incorporated these themes into his song lyrics. At age 52, Cornell died by suicide in his hotel bathroom following a live performance. This mixed-methods study examines Cornell's song lyrics for references to negative words and themes related to depression and suicide. Two coders independently reviewed lyrical tr…
Flavour types used by youth and adult tobacco users in wave 2 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study 2014–2015
Background Most youth and young adult (YA) tobacco users use flavoured products; however, little is known about specific flavours used. Methods We report flavour types among US tobacco users from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, wave 2, 2014–2015. At wave 2, we examined (1) flavour use and type at past 30-day use; (2) new flavoured tobacco product use and type; (3) product-specific flavour patterns across youth (ages 12–17) …
Recruiting the ABCD sample
The ABCD study is a new and ongoing project of very substantial size and scale involving 21 data acquisition sites. It aims to recruit 11,500 children and follow them for ten years with extensive assessments at multiple timepoints. To deliver on its potential to adequately describe adolescent development, it is essential that it adopt recruitment procedures that are efficient and effective and will yield a sample that reflects the nation's divers…
Correlates of Transitions in Tobacco Product Use by U.S. Adult Tobacco Users between 2013–2014 and 2014–2015
More than half of adult tobacco users in the United States (U.S.) transitioned in tobacco product use between 2013−2014 and 2014−2015. We examine how characteristics of adult tobacco users in the U.S. relate to transitions in tobacco product use. Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study data were analyzed from 12,862 adult current tobacco users who participated in Wave 1 (W1, 2013−2014) and Wave 2 (W2, 2014−2015). Three types of t…
Transitions in Tobacco Product Use by U.S. Adults between 2013–2014 and 2014–2015
In 2013−2014, nearly 28% of adults in the United States (U.S.) were current tobacco users with cigarettes the most common product used and with nearly 40% of tobacco users using two or more tobacco products. We describe overall change in prevalence of tobacco product use and within-person transitions in tobacco product use in the U.S. between 2013−2014 and 2014−2015 for young adults (18−24 years) and older adults (25+ years). Data from Wave 1 (W1…
Flavored Tobacco Product Use in Youth and Adults
Tobacco-Product Use by Adults and Youths in the United States in 2013 and 2014
BACKGROUND: Noncigarette tobacco products are evolving rapidly, with increasing popularity in the United States. METHODS: We present prevalence estimates for 12 types of tobacco products, using data from 45,971 adult and youth participants (≥12 years of age) from Wave 1 (September 2013 through December 2014) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, a large, nationally representative, longitudinal study of tobacco use and h…
Electronic cigarette use among US adults in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study, 2013–2014
The majority of e-cigarette users in this study reported less than daily use. Compared with non-daily use, daily use was associated with being a former smoker; however, cross-sectional data limits our ability to establish the temporality or directionality of such associations
Patterns of Use of Smokeless Tobacco in US Adults, 2013–2014
Objectives. To examine patterns of smokeless tobacco (SLT) use, by type, in wave 1 (2013–2014) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study in the United States. Methods. We analyzed data from 32 320 adults (aged ≥ 18 years) to assess the use of pouched snus and other SLT products (loose snus, moist snuff, dip, spit, and chewing tobacco). Results. Overall, SLT use was most common among men, younger adults, non-Hispanic Whites, and non…
E-cigarette use and smoking reduction or cessation in the 2010/2011 TUS-CPS longitudinal cohort
Among early adopters, ever-use of first generation e-cigarettes to aid quitting cigarette smoking was not associated with improved cessation or with reduced consumption, even among heavier smokers
Design and methods of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (Path) Study
The cumulative, population-based data generated over time by the PATH Study will contribute to the evidence base to inform FDA's regulatory mission under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act and efforts to reduce the Nation's burden of tobacco-related death and disease
Preference for flavoured cigar brands among youth, young adults and adults in the USA
This study finds recent growth in flavoured cigar consumption and preference among youth and young adults for cigar brands that are flavoured. These findings underscore the need to expand monitoring of product attributes as well as individual-level cigar use behaviours captured through population surveillance
Tobacco retail outlet advertising practices and proximity to schools, parks and public housing affect Synar underage sales violations in Washington, DC
Findings demonstrate that while illicit tobacco sales to minors are occurring at acceptably low rates by Synar standards, illicit sales vary considerably by retail store type, advertising approach and proximity to high schools, parks and African-American residential areas. Future work may help inform regulatory efforts to reduce youth access at the neighbourhood, city, state and national levels
Substance use and behaviour disorders in Puerto Rican youth
BACKGROUND: Hispanics in the USA have higher rates of substance use disorders than similar ethnic groups residing in Latin American nations, and recent evidence suggests an increase in substance use among US Hispanic youth. This investigation examines the familial and societal correlates of this increase by comparing Puerto Rican families residing in the mainland USA and Puerto Rico. METHODS: Using migrant and controlled family study methods, 279…
Lifetime Comorbidity of DSM-IV Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Specific Drug Use Disorders
OBJECTIVE: To present nationally representative data on the lifetime prevalence and comorbidity of 8 specific drug use disorders, separately for abuse and dependence, and mood and anxiety disorders. METHOD: Data come from a representative sample (N=43,093) of the United States civilian, noninstitutional population 18 years and older. Diagnoses of mood, anxiety, and drug use disorders were based upon face-to-face personal interviews using the Alco…
The Role of Rural Health Clinics in Hospitalization due to Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions
Context: Hospitalization due to ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) is often used as an indicator for measuring access to primary care. Rural health clinics (RHCs) provide basic primary care services for rural residents in health professional shortage areas (HPSAs). The relationship between RHCs and ACSCs is unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the presence of RHCs in rural HPSAs and the lik…
A longitudinal examination of the relation between co‐offending with violent accomplices and violent crime
Although the idea that youthful offenders are affected by the company they keep is widely accepted, evidence in support of this idea is based primarily on reports provided by offenders and their peers. As an alternative to relying on reports of criminal behavior, a method that may overestimate the role that peers play in criminal behavior, the current research on co‐offending uses court records to identify and track over time individuals who are …
