Testing mental health awareness communication materials targeting first responders
Introduction First responders may face significant challenges impacting their mental well-being, yet mental health services are historically underutilized due to barriers such as stigma, fear of consequences, and lack of occupationally competent programs. Effective communication strategies are essential to encourage help-seeking behavior among this group. Objective This research aimed to test campaign materials designed to motivate first responde…
Pride and Perseverance
First responder families often express deep pride in their loved ones’ service, but they also face unique and significant challenges. These include financial strain, disrupted family dynamics, and emotional and psychological stress. Despite their critical role in supporting first responders, limited research has explored the experiences of these families or the services that could best support them. This study aimed to identify the specific chall…

The potential of processed mineral construction and demolition waste to increase the water capacity of urban tree substrates - A pilot scale study in Munich
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) represents one of the most significant waste streams worldwide. Due to a high brick content, CDW amended soil substrates are expected to improve water retention, benefitting urban trees. In this two-year field study evaluating the effects of CDW on the water holding capacities of urban tree substrates, six substrate mixtures are tested. Three test substrates contained a standard CDW mixture with 30 % and th…
Using wearable cameras to investigate health-related daily life experiences
Automated, wearable cameras can benefit health-related research by capturing accurate and objective information about individuals’ daily experiences. However, wearable cameras present unique privacy- and confidentiality-related risks due to the possibility of the images capturing identifying or sensitive information from participants and third parties. Although best practice guidelines for ethical research with wearable cameras have been publishe…

Current Tobacco Use Trends and Harm Perceptions Among High School Students by Asthma Status and Sex, 2012‐2018
BACKGROUND: Tobacco use is known to worsen asthma management. No studies have investigated how trends in youth tobacco use and related harm perceptions vary by asthma status and sex. This study examined these trends among Florida high school students during 2012-2018. METHODS: Data from the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey were analyzed. Public high school students (grades 9-12) with known asthma status were included along …
Changes in Recall to E-Cigarette Advertisement Exposure among Florida Youth, 2016–2019
Introduction The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported increases in exposure to e-cigarette ads among US middle and high school students from 2014–2016. This study examines changes in exposure to e-cigarette ads by source among youth in Florida. Methods: We analyzed Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (FYTS) data from 2016–2019 (n = 149,407). We calculated the weighted prevalence of exposure to ads by source (on radio, TV, internet, billbo…
The risk of low risk
Premature birth has a well‐documented impact on infants, mothers and their dyadic interactions. First time motherhood in the context of low risk premature birth—relatively unexplored in the literature—is a specific experience that sits at the nexus of premature infancy, motherhood and the processes that underpin dyadic connection. This qualitative study analyzed semistructured interviews with first time mothers of low risk premature babies. Findi…
Prevalence and characteristics of secondhand smoke and secondhand vapour exposure among youth
Almost one-third of Florida youth reported SHV exposure. Factors associated with SHS and SHV exposure are somewhat similar, and exposure to SHS and SHV is associated with tobacco susceptibility in youth. Promoting tobacco-free homes is needed to protect youth from SHS and SHV exposure
Maternal Perceptions Related to Eating and Obesity Risk Among Low-Income African American Preschoolers
Identifying e-cigarette vape stores
Using the online search methodology we identified more ENDS vape stores than were on the state tobacco licensure list. This approach may be a promising strategy to identify and track the growth of ENDS vape stores over time, especially in states without a systematic licensing requirement for such stores
