Preliminary Evaluation of Educational Outreach to Promote Colorectal Cancer Screening Among South Asians in the San Francisco Bay Area
Overcoming Challenges in Recruitment of South Asians for Health Disparities Research in the USA
Acculturation Strategies and Symptoms of Depression: The Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (Masala) Study
Acculturation Strategies Among South Asian Immigrants: The Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (Masala) Study
Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Tobacco Use Patterns
AA and NHPI disparities in tobacco use may be due to underutilization of cessation resources, including those for non-cigarette tobacco products, and lack of availability of culturally-appropriate resources. Community-based and regulatory approaches should be employed to reduce use of all tobacco products, especially among high prevalence subgroups
Paan ( pan ) and paan ( pan ) masala should be considered tobacco products: Table 1
Two products indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and popular among South Asians globally - paan and paan masala - are inconsistently categorised as tobacco by researchers, clinicians, program planners and policymakers. This article calls for a universally standard classification of these smokeless carcinogenic products as tobacco products and thus, subject to the same public health and clinical protections applied to other forms of tobacco. Thi…
Asian Indian Views on Diet and Health in the United States: Importance of Understanding Cultural and Social Factors to Address Disparities
This study describes Asian Indian immigrant perspectives surrounding dietary beliefs and practices to identify intervention targets for diabetes and heart disease prevention. Participants were asked about conceptualizations of relationships between culture, food, and health during 4 focus groups (n = 38). Findings reveal influences of beliefs from respondents' native India, preservation of cultural practices within the US social structure, confli…
Hookah steam stones: Smoking vapour expands from electronic cigarettes to waterpipes
A hookah is a waterpipe (also known as narghile or shisha) used to smoke flavoured tobacco. It is estimated that the hookah is used daily by more than 100 million people globally.1 Further, hookah smoking appears to be increasing both worldwide and in the USA.2–5 A limited number of studies suggest that health risks associated with hookah smoking are similar to those of cigarette smoking.6 ,7 A single session of hookah smoking can last 30–60 min,…
Social and cultural influences on tobacco-related health disparities among South Asians in the USA
Many cultural factors govern tobacco use among diverse global populations. Especially for migrants with a common regional origin, the role of ethnic identity may strongly influence culturally specific tobacco patterns. Qualitative inquiry helps elucidate such culturally framed behaviour in culturally diverse populations. These cultural contexts should be integrated into research and practice. Understanding multidimensional factors influencing non…
Tobacco industry co-optation of culture? Converging culturally specific and mainstream tobacco products in India
Snus is a moist tobacco product containing finely chopped tobacco in a tea bag-like pouch, which is placed under the lip for consumption.1 Snus proponents claim that it is a less harmful option than smoking cigarettes and is lower in carcinogens than traditional smokeless tobacco products.1 2 However, concerns have been raised about the addictive potential of snus and the potential for increasing dual use of smoked and smokeless products. Snus ha…
