EnufSnuff.TXT-FirstResponder
Introduction First Responders are three times more likely to use smokeless tobacco than those in the general population and very few targeted cessation interventions are available. Methods The #EnufSnuff.TXT First Responder text-based intervention ( n = 30), which includes an optional reduction component and tailored text-messages for cessation, was administered alongside the Enough Snuff Intervention ( n = 30), which includes a cessation booklet…
Prevalence and predictors of chronic disease among rural and medically underserved populations using smokeless tobacco
Introduction: Smokeless tobacco (SLT) is significant public health problem in the U.S. and is associated with chronic diseases, which includes both physical and mental health conditions. Inequities in use exist as rural and other medically underserved populations use SLT more than that of the general population. Our study examined prevalence of chronic disease and identified associated risk factors among rural and medically underserved population…
Disparities exist among US adolescents in the receipt of transition to adult healthcare services
Introduction We examined the influence of special healthcare needs, onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and their interaction on receiving transition services to prepare for future adult care among US adolescents, and whether social determinants of health moderated the relationship of these factors with receiving transition services. Methods We analyzed the National Survey of Children's Health (2019, 2020–2021) using adjusted multivariable logistic r…
Stressors Among Healthcare Workers
Healthcare workers are experiencing high stress and burnout, at rates up to 70%, hindering patient care. Studies often focus on stressors in a particular setting or within the context of the pandemic which limits understanding of a more comprehensive view of stressors experienced by healthcare workers. The purpose of this study was to assess healthcare workers' self-reported major stressors. Between June 2018 and April 2019, U.S. healthcare worke…
Infant Outcomes in Hypertensive Women
Social determinants of human papillomavirus vaccine series completion among U.S. adolescents
Multi-level factors continue to influence timely series completion, despite fewer doses needed for series completion. Innovative strategies are needed to improve care coordination for receiving vaccine doses, patient-provider communication about series completion and increase access to HPV vaccine
Social Adversity, Sleep Characteristics, and Elevated Blood Pressure Among Young Adult Black Females
Purpose: We examined whether sleep characteristics and adverse social exposures were associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) in young adult black women. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of existing data from 581 black females who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). Adverse social exposures included child abuse, discrimination, perceived stress, social isolation, and subjectiv…
Trauma-related symptoms and severity among women in the Pacific Rim
Current understandings of the effects trauma exposure on women's health are limited because prior research has largely focused on intimate partner and sexual violence in homogenous samples. In this descriptive study, the authors examined the relationships between lifetime trauma exposure and psychological well-being among women across the Pacific Rim. Psychological well-being differed significantly between the four locations and increased trauma …
Studying depression among Arab adolescents
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the methodology for research examining depression severity, depression sigma, and attitudes toward seeking professional help for depression among Jordanian adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. Because this was a novel area of research in the Arab countries generally, and Jordan specifically, we aimed to (a) assess the feasibility of collaboration with recruitment sites, (b) evaluate the sampling method and re…
Feasibility of Using an iPod Touch Device and Acceptability of a Stigma Reduction Intervention with HIV-Infected Women in the Deep South
Ethnic differences among adolescents beginning treatment for depression
This study examines ethnic/racial differences at the start of treatment among participants in the Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS). African American and Latino youth were compared to Caucasian youth on symptom presentation and cognitive variables associated with depression. Contrary to hypothesis, there were no significant differences in symptom presentation as measured by the interview-based items of the Children's Depressi…
Pain Catastrophizing in Patients with Noncardiac Chest Pain
OBJECTIVE: To examine the contributions of chest pain, anxiety, and pain catastrophizing to disability in 97 patients with noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) and to test whether chest pain and anxiety were related indirectly to greater disability via pain catastrophizing. METHODS: Participants completed daily diaries measuring chest pain for 7 days before completing measures of pain catastrophizing, trait anxiety, and disability. Linear path model anal…
Changes in Neuropsychological Functioning with Progression of HIV-1 Infection
Impact of Stressful Life Events, Depression, Social Support, Coping, and Cortisol on Progression to Aids
OBJECTIVE: This study examined prospectively the effects of stressful events, depressive symptoms, social support, coping methods, and cortisol levels on progression of HIV-1 infection. METHOD: Eighty-two homosexual men with HIV type-1 infection without AIDS or symptoms at baseline were studied every 6 months for up to 7. 5 years. Men were recruited from rural and urban areas in North Carolina, and none was using antiretroviral medications at ent…
High Versus Low Basal Cortisol Secretion in Asymptomatic, Medication-free HIV-infected Men
The authors hypothesized that HIV-infected men with high basal cortisol secretion would exhibit greater stress-related reductions in the ratio of Th1/Th2 cell-derived cytokines and numbers of CD8+ T and NK lymphocytes than low basal cortisol secretors. A semistructured interview was used to assess life stress during the preceding 6 months of 94 HIV-infected men classified as high and low cortisol secretors (n = 47/group). Increased levels of seve…
Progression to Aids
OBJECTIVE: We examined the effects of stress, depressive symptoms, and social support on the progression of HIV infection. METHODS: Eighty-two HIV-infected gay men without symptoms or AIDS at baseline were followed up every 6 months for up to 5.5 years. Men were recruited from rural and urban areas in North Carolina as part of the Coping in Health and Illness Project. Disease progression was defined using criteria for AIDS (CD4+ lymphocyte count …
Short Stature, Growth Hormone Deficiency, and Social Anxiety
OBJECTIVE: We have reported high rates of social phobia in growth hormone-deficient (GHD) adults who had been treated with growth hormone during childhood. This follow-up study was conducted to determine whether the increased social phobia observed in GHD subjects was secondary to the effects of short stature. METHODS: Twenty-one age- and sex-matched non-GHD short adults were evaluated for social anxiety and compared with the previously studied 2…
