Factors associated with tobacco product use patterns among criminal legal system impacted adults in Kentucky
The tobacco use landscape is rapidly shifting, with growing numbers of people using multiple forms of nicotine delivery (e.g., combustible, electronic nicotine delivery, smokeless). In general populations, multi-product use is associated with high-risk behaviors and poorer health outcomes. Individuals in the criminal legal system (CLS) are a high-risk and vulnerable population with high rates of tobacco use, but little is known about existing tob…
HIV-Stigmatizing Beliefs and Attitudes as a Barrier to Early PrEP Care Continuum Engagement Among People Who Inject Drugs
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective prevention strategy, yet awareness, knowledge, and willingness to use it among people who inject drugs (PWID) remains inadequate despite widespread eligibility. Stigma, particularly HIV-stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes, may be a key barrier to engagement at early stages of the PrEP care continuum. We examine how HIV-stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes affect PrEP awareness, knowledge, and…
Association between depression, happiness, and sleep duration
Females are more likely to report depression compared to males. Increasing age may decrease the risk of reporting depression. Unhappy individuals have approximately 5-fold higher odds of reporting depression compared to happy individuals. A higher BMI was associated with a higher risk of reporting depression. In a sensitivity analysis, individuals who reported less than 6 h of sleep per 24 h were more likely to report depression than those who re…
High Prevalence of Tobacco Product and E-Cigarette Use among Electronic Dance Music Party Attendees
Background: Electronic dance music (EDM) party attendees are at high risk for use of various illegal drugs; however, little is known about their tobacco use. Understanding tobacco use patterns in this population at high risk for illegal drug use can inform multi-product interventions. Objectives: 954 EDM party attendees (ages 18-40) were surveyed in New York City in 2017. We estimated prevalence of use of cigarettes, hookah, cigars, other tobacco…
