Objectives. To evaluate the impact of a faith-based intervention to promote physical activity in Latinas. Methods. We randomized 16 churches in San Diego County, California, to a physical activity intervention or cancer screening comparison condition (n = 436). The intervention followed an ecological framework and involved promotoras. We examined 12-month intervention effects, including accelerometer-based moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (…

Adolescents’ Use of Indoor Tanning
Objectives. We evaluated psychosocial, built-environmental, and policy-related correlates of adolescents’ indoor tanning use. Methods. We developed 5 discrete data sets in the 100 most populous US cities, based on interviews of 6125 adolescents (aged 14–17 years) and their parents, analysis of state indoor tanning laws, interviews with enforcement experts, computed density of tanning facilities, and evaluations of these 3399 facilities’ practices…

Promoting Sun Safety Among US Postal Service Letter Carriers
Objectives. We examined whether US Postal Service letter carriers who received a sun safety intervention would wear wide-brim hats and sunscreen significantly more often than those who did not receive the intervention. Methods. We used a 2-group randomized design with 2662 evaluation cohort participants from 70 US postal stations. Evaluations were conducted at baseline, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Questionnaire items assessed occupational use …

Many children with identified mental health problems do not receive care, especially ethnic/minority children. OBJECTIVE: To examine how patterns of specialty mental health service use among children involved with child welfare vary as a function of the degree of coordination between local child welfare and mental health agencies. DESI…

Increasing Latino Adolescents’ Adherence to Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis Infection
Objectives. We sought to determine the efficacy of coaching Latino adolescents with latent tuberculosis infection to adhere to isoniazid treatment. Methods. Participants (n = 286) were randomly assigned to adherence coaching, attention control, or usual care groups. Adherence was measured via interviews and validated with urine assays. Results. Coaching resulted in significant increases in adherence compared with attention and usual care groups. …

Promoting skin cancer prevention counseling by pharmacists
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effects of an intervention on rates of skin cancer prevention counseling by pharmacists. METHODS: Fifty-four pharmacies were randomly assigned to intervention or control conditions. Intervention consisted of training, feedback, and prompts. Counseling rates before and after the intervention were obtained from study confederates. RESULTS: At pretest, the proportions of control and intervention sites providing c…
Predictors of tobacco use initiation in adolescents
Findings support predictions based on learning theory that social processes are critical in the development of health-risk behaviours. Future preventive efforts should target changing the density with which young people encounter pro- and anti-tobacco prompts and consequences in the community
Tobacco use prevalence and correlates among adolescents in a clinician initiated tobacco prevention trial in California, USA
OBJECTIVES: Baseline data for the clinician initiated, tobacco prevention trial, the first non-school based clinician mediated tobacco prevention study, were used to explore the degree to which young people receiving orthodontic treatment use tobacco and the differences in use rates between national, California, and patient samples. Correlates of tobacco use were identified and these correlates were contrasted with findings from the published rep…
An adolescent tobacco-use prevention trial in orthodontic offices
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effect of an orthodontist-delivered tobacco-use prevention program for adolescents. METHODS: Southern California orthodontic offices were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 77) and control (n = 77) groups. Randomly selected adolescents were interviewed at baseline and 2 years later (n = 15,644). Experimental offices received tobacco prevention training, anti-tobacco materials, and 50 cents for each anti-tob…

The Subjective Response to Life-Threatening Danger
A factor analysis of questionnaire responses from 189 victims of life-threatening accidents yielded three factors of subjective effects. These factors, which included depersonalization, hyperalertness and mystical consciousness, appeared meaningful in terms of the endangered personality's effort to cope with a threat to life. Perception of a serious threat, loss of consciousness, and rescue efforts influenced the frequency with which certain effe…
