Network threats to causal inference
Researchers and practitioners rely on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to make causal inferences. However, most people who participate in RCTs are part of multiple, overlapping social networks that shape their behaviors and attitudes. As a result, variations in trial participants’ and non-participants’ network positions may impede the generalizability of a RCT’s conclusions. The current project evaluates the extent and impact of these variatio…
Disparities in cigarette smoking and the health of marginalized populations in the U.S
Differences in cigarette smoking portend substantial ongoing and future disparities in life expectancy and time to reach 5% smoking prevalence. Reducing tobacco-related disparities in the U.S. will require an explicitly equity-focused vision, and the tobacco endgame will only be truly achieved when it includes all groups
US state implementation of policies restricting sales of flavoured E-cigarettes
Implementing policies restricting the sale of flavoured e-cigarettes is complex and variable from state to state. Future implementation efforts and policy evaluations should take this variability into account
Changes in tobacco use in rural South Africa during the 2020 tobacco sales ban
South Africa's 2020 tobacco sales ban, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, was associated with a 26% decrease in retrospectively reported tobacco use prevalence among a rural cohort. Tobacco use largely, but not completely, rebounded after the ban
The impact of tobacco smoking and smoking cessation on lung cancer and stroke incidence among people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy in South Africa
INTRODUCTION: With declining HIV-related mortality, over 20% of people with HIV (PWH) in South Africa are now over age 50 years, and tobacco-related non-communicable disease burden is increasing. We quantified the impact of smoking and smoking cessation on lung cancer and stroke incidence among PWH in South Africa. METHODS: Using a microsimulation model, we simulated 18 cohorts of initially virologically suppressed PWH over their lifetime, catego…
Network spillover effects associated with the ChooseWell 365 workplace randomized controlled trial to promote healthy food choices
Assessment of the Massachusetts Flexible Services Program to Address Food and Housing Insecurity in a Medicaid Accountable Care Organization
This mixed-methods qualitative evaluation study found that to improve implementation, Medicaid and health system programs that address social needs may benefit from providing funding for administrative costs, developing bidirectional data-sharing platforms, and tailoring support to patient preferences
Costs to Implement a Pediatric Weight Management Program Across 3 Distinct Contexts
BACKGROUND: The Connect for Health program is an evidence-based program that aligns with national recommendations for pediatric weight management and includes clinical decision support, educational handouts, and community resources. As implementation costs are a major driver of program adoption and maintenance decisions, we assessed the costs to implement the Connect for Health program across 3 health systems that primarily serve low-income commu…
Implementation Activities in Smoke-Free Public Housing
A 2018 rule requiring federally-subsidized public housing authorities (PHAs) in the United States to adopt smoke-free policies (SFPs) has sparked interest in how housing agencies can best implement SFPs. However, to date, there is little quantitative data on the implementation of SFPs in public housing. Massachusetts PHAs were among the pioneers of SFPs in public housing, and many had instituted SFPs voluntarily prior to the federal rule. The aim…

Social connections and the healthfulness of food choices in an employee population
Association of work-related and leisure-time physical activity with workplace food purchases, dietary quality, and health of hospital employees
This trial was prospectively registered with clinicaltrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02660086) on January 21, 2016. The first participant was enrolled on September 16, 2016
Traffic-light labels and financial incentives to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage purchases by low-income Latino families
Objective The objective of the present study was to test the effectiveness of financial incentives and traffic-light labels to reduce purchases of sugar-sweetened beverages in a community supermarket. Design In this randomized controlled trial, after a 2-month baseline period (February–March 2014), in-store traffic-light labels were posted to indicate healthy (green), less healthy (yellow) or unhealthy (red) beverages. During the subsequent five …
Choice architecture to promote fruit and vegetable purchases by families participating in the Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Objective To conduct a pilot study to determine if improving the visibility and quality of fresh produce (choice architecture) in corner stores would increase fruit/vegetable purchases by families participating in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Design Six stores were randomly assigned to choice architecture intervention or control. Store-level WIC sales data were provided by the state. Primary o…
Delivering on the Promise of Smoke-Free Public Housing
On November 30, 2016, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published a final rule mandating that public housing authorities it supports prohibit all smoking on their residential premises, including within residents’ apartments. The primary rationale for this action was to protect nonsmoking residents from the harms of tobacco smoke exposure. Although the harms of secondhand smoke are clear and the potential for reducing nonsmo…

The Quality of Hospital Care for Medicaid and Private Pay Patients
CONTEXT: Understanding Medicaid performance relative to private payers and among other states may lead to better value. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Hospital Quality Alliance data from 2007-2008 were used to create composite "all-or-none" quality scores for nearly 900,000 nonelderly adult patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure (CHF), or pneumonia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Differences in the qual…
A 2-Phase Labeling and Choice Architecture Intervention to Improve Healthy Food and Beverage Choices
Objectives. We assessed whether a 2-phase labeling and choice architecture intervention would increase sales of healthy food and beverages in a large hospital cafeteria. Methods. Phase 1 was a 3-month color-coded labeling intervention (red = unhealthy, yellow = less healthy, green = healthy). Phase 2 added a 3-month choice architecture intervention that increased the visibility and convenience of some green items. We compared relative changes in …
Use of nicotine replacement therapy to reduce or delay smoking but not to quit
Use of NRT for reasons other than quitting smoking may be more common than was previously estimated. This population based survey finds no strong evidence that NRT use for purposes other than quitting smoking is either harmful or helpful

Military Wives
The traditional pattern of the two-person career in the military has undergone a transition so that the contemporary role of the military wife has become similar to the civilian one. Data from 111 women married to servicemen stationed overseas at 13 bases in 4 countries suggest that, although the traditional dependent pattern is no longer universal, much role ambiguity and conflict remain as families adapt to the changing military environment

Self-Interest and Public Opinion Toward Smoking Policies
Numerous studies report that self-interest has a non significant influence upon various political and social attitudes. In contrast, a recent article by Green and Gerken (1989) reports a California study showing that cigarette smokers are significantly more opposed than nonsmokers to public smoking restrictions and tobacco sales tax increases. The present article replicates and extends this analysis with data from two different states—Illinois (i…

Asking the "Born-Again" Question
Sex of Children
A self-administered questionnaire concerning child sex preferences and attitudes toward the exercise of pre- and post-conception sex predetermination was distributed and retrieved from an urbanized area sample of 209 adults aged 18 to 50. A modified (i.e., truncated) version of McClelland's (1979) “stopping rule” measure method was used to assess child sex preferences. It confirmed and extended findings from earlier research in that male first ch…

Social and Economic Structural Antecedents of Fertility
Social and economic structural characteristics of counties are used to predict differences in county fertility rates using 1970 census data for North Carolina's one hundred counties. We argue that fertility rates are affected by county social and economic structures, and hypothesize that fertility rates vary directly with level of occupational sex segregation and inversely with degree of urbanization, industrialization, population size, and femal…
