Decision-Making on Nicotine Replacement Therapy Use and Product Selection
Chinese Americans who smoke have low use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). This study explored perceptions of NRT and decision-making around product choice among Chinese American smokers who received NRT. From September 2023 to January 2024, we conducted in-depth phone interviews with 20 participants recruited in New York City from a WeChat-based cessation pilot trial and a community-based cessation program, both providing free nicotine patc…
Perceived discrimination and coping with substance use among Asian Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic
Asian Americans' AOD use for stress coping during the pandemic was prevalent. Perceived racial bias was associated with cannabis use, however other pandemic-induced stressors, not discriminatory in nature, were consistently associated with AOD use. Targeted research and policy efforts are warranted to address impacts from diverse stressors while tackling racism and substance use within Asian American communities to facilitate post-pandemic recove…
Patient COUNTS
Many Asian American cancer patients face barriers to cancer care but little is known about their navigational needs. We designed and implemented a pilot study to provide culturally- and linguistically-appropriate navigation for Asian American cancer patients. We recruited Asian American adults age 21+ years, who spoke English, Cantonese, Mandarin, or Vietnamese, with newly diagnosed, stage I-III colorectal, liver, or lung cancer in the Northern C…

A Qualitative Investigation of the Experiences of Tobacco Use among U.S. Adults with Food Insecurity
The context of tobacco use among adults with food insecurity was highly complex. To effectively address tobacco-related disparities among those who are socially and economically disadvantaged, tobacco control efforts should consider relevant lived experiences and structural constraints intersecting smoking and food insecurity. Findings are applied to a conceptualization of clustering of conditions contributing to nicotine dependence, food insecur…
Engaging Asian American Communities During the Covid-19 Era Tainted With Anti-Asian Hate and Distrust
Discrimination Experiences during Covid-19 among a National, Multi-Lingual, Community-Based Sample of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
Reports of escalated discrimination among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) due to COVID-19 are alarming, making this a public health priority. However, there are limited empirical studies on the scope and impact of COVID-19-related discrimination among AAPIs. Using the COVID-19 Effects on the Mental and Physical Health of AAPI Survey Study (COMPASS) data (N = 4971; survey period: October 2020-February 2021), which is a U.S.-wide mult…
Home Smoking Bans and Urinary NNAL Levels to Measure Tobacco Smoke Exposure in Chinese American Household Pairs
Home smoking bans can reduce tobacco smoke exposure, but little is known about the impact for Chinese American household pairs. In this study of 202 household pairs with low acculturation, 53.9% reported a home smoking ban, 31.7% had inconsistent reports, and 14.4% reported no ban. With decreasing home smoking ban enforcement, more nonsmokers had tobacco smoke exposure (66.1%-86.2%) as measured by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine biomarker urine …

Neighborhood Ethnic Composition and Self-rated Health Among Chinese and Vietnamese American Immigrants
Examining Reciprocal Effects of Cigarette Smoking, Food Insecurity, and Psychological Distress in the U.S
In the U.S., cigarette smoking is increasingly concentrated in disadvantaged and vulnerable populations, such as populations with lower income and with mental health needs. Food insecurity is linked with psychological distress and is an independent risk factor for smoking. We prospectively examined how cigarette smoking, food insecurity, and psychological distress operate as risk factors for one another in a 2-year longitudinal analysis of U.S. a…
Keeping Each Other Accountable
Vietnamese American males have high smoking rates. This study explored social support mechanisms provided by lay health workers (LHWs) and family members through a smoking cessation intervention. Eight focus groups (N = 54) were conducted in Vietnamese stratified by intervention arms (Tobacco [experimental] and healthy living [control]) with 18 smokers, 18 family members, and 18 LHWs. Smokers reported feeling more accountable for their health beh…
Developing faculty leadership from ‘within’
Most academic health sciences centers offer faculty leadership development programs (LDPs); however, the outcomes of LDPs are largely unknown. This article describes perspectives from our 12-year experience cultivating a formal faculty LDP within an academic health center and longitudinal outcomes of our LDP. Responding to faculty concerns from University of California San Francisco's (UCSF) 2001 Faculty Climate Survey, UCSF established the UCSF-…
Unpacking the ‘black box’ of lay health worker processes in a US-based intervention
Prior studies have supported the effectiveness of the use of Lay Health Workers (LHWs) as an intervention model for managing chronic health conditions, yet few have documented the mechanisms that underlie the effectiveness of the interventions. This study provides a first look into how LHWs delivered a family-based intervention and the challenges encountered. We utilize observation data from LHW-led educational sessions delivered as part of a ran…

Treating Tobacco Dependence in Clinically Depressed Smokers
We analyzed data from a randomized trial of 322 actively depressed smokers and examined the effect of smoking cessation on their mental health functioning. Only 1 of 10 measures at 4 follow-up time points was significant: participants who successfully stopped smoking reported less alcohol use than did participants who continued smoking. Depressive symptoms declined significantly over time for participants who stopped smoking and those who continu…
Treatment for Cigarette Smoking Among Depressed Mental Health Outpatients
Objectives. Using a brief contact control, we tested the efficacy of a staged care intervention to reduce cigarette smoking among psychiatric patients in outpatient treatment for depression. Methods. We conducted a randomized clinical trial that included assessments at baseline and at months 3, 6, 12, and 18. Three hundred twenty-two patients in mental health outpatient treatment who were diagnosed with depression and smoked ≥1 cigarette per day …

Smoking Cessation 3
Smoking is the primary preventable cause of mortality and morbidity in our society, killing more than 430,000 people each year--more than 1,000 a day. Despite this deadly record, the treatment of nicotine dependence has not been integrated into routine medical care. Although professionals from many healthcare fields can be effective providers of smoking cessation treatment, relatively few actually advise patients to quit smoking; and even fewer a…

Older Adults’ and Case Managers’ Perceptions of Smoking and Smoking Cessation

Decreases in Smoking Prevalence in Asian Communities Served by the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (Reach) Project
Objectives. We examined trends in smoking prevalence from 2002 through 2006 in 4 Asian communities served by the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) intervention. Methods. Annual survey data from 2002 through 2006 were gathered in 4 REACH Asian communities. Trends in the age-standardized prevalence of current smoking for men in 2 Vietnamese communities, 1 Cambodian community, and 1 Asian American/Pacific Islander (API) commun…
Secondhand smoke exposure and serum cotinine levels among current smokers in the USA
Smokers living in residences where others smoke inside the home had significantly higher cotinine levels than smokers reporting no SHS exposure, regardless of individual smoking intensity. Future research should target the role that SHS exposure may have in nicotine dependence, cessation outcomes and other health impacts among smokers
