HPV vaccination and cervical cancer control in Georgia
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer. In Georgia, cervical cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, with approximately 330 new cases and 200 deaths annually. Although HPV vaccines are included in the national immunization programme, coverage remains suboptimal. This study aimed to assess national trends in HPV vaccination, cervical cancer screening, and incidence in Georgia, and to proj…

Psychosocial Factors, Smoke-Free Restrictions, and Media Exposure in Relation to Smoking-Related Attitudes and Behaviors among Adults in Armenia and Georgia
Findings support the importance of smoke-free policies but were counterintuitive regarding the roles of social and media influences, underscoring the need to better understand how to address these influences, particularly in countries with high smoking rates
Smokers’ and Nonsmokers’ Receptivity to Smoke-Free Policies and Pro- and Anti-Policy Messaging in Armenia and Georgia
Garnering support for smoke-free policies is critical for their successful adoption, particularly in countries with high smoking prevalence, such as Armenia and Georgia. In 2018, we surveyed 1456 residents (ages 18–64) of 28 cities in Armenia (n = 705) and Georgia (n = 751). We examined support for cigarette and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)/heated tobacco product (HTP) smoke-free policies in various locations and persuasiveness of …
The burden of non-communicable diseases and their related risk factors in the country of Georgia, 2015
Georgia has a high NCD burden, and results from the survey showed an increase in obesity and elevated blood pressure since 2010. The prevalence of other major NCDs have remained near levels reported in the 2010 STEPs survey. Comprehensive public health interventions are needed to control the heath security threats of major NCDs and their risk factors in the future
Perceived Effectiveness of Differing Health Warning Label Messaging Strategies among Adults in the Republic of Georgia
Background : While pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) are evidence-based, the different messaging strategies are understudied. Methods : We analyzed 2014 national survey data from 1163 Georgian adults to examine: (1) perceived effectiveness of pictorial vs. text-only HWLs; (2) pictorial HWL themes; and (3) correlates of perceived effectiveness of different pictorial themes. Participants were randomized to evaluate the effectiveness of either …
Smoke-Free Public Policies and Voluntary Policies in Personal Settings in Tbilisi, Georgia
Georgia has limited tobacco control policies, particularly in the area of smoke-free public policies, which may influence the adoption of smoke-free home rules. We qualitatively examined knowledge about and reactions to public and personal smoke-free policies among Tbilisi residents. In Spring 2014, we conducted six focus groups among 47 total participants--two among male smokers, one among male nonsmokers, two among female smokers, and one among…
