Introduction Over 70% of people experiencing homelessness report current cigarette smoking. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of an extended (6-month) contingency management (CM) intervention for smoking cessation among adults experiencing homelessness and who were engaged in primary care. We examined experiences and perspectives on cessation among a subset of participants in the trial.Methods The CM group received escalating incentives …
Syndemic lives of women who smoke and experience homelessness
Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide. Despite efforts by many countries to reduce the impact of tobacco products and lower smoking rates, smoking prevalence is higher among people experiencing homelessness. The reasons are complex and go beyond individual choices, including limited awareness about quitting, restricted access to services, and previous negative experiences. This study is a secondary data analysis of…
The Built Environment, PTSD Symptoms, and Tobacco Use among Permanent Supportive Housing Residents
INTRODUCTION: 50% of permanent supportive housing (PSH) residents in the U.S. smoke cigarettes, and tobacco-related mortality is their number one cause of death. Over 30% of PSH residents have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and many perceive their built environment (e.g., housing) as inadequate for mental and physical health recovery. It is unknown whether built environment factors moderate the relationship between PTSD and tobacco use am…
Evaluation of a Pharmacist-Linked Smoking Cessation Intervention for Adults Experiencing Homelessness
Background: Interventions are needed to increase access to tobacco treatment for people experiencing homelessness. We developed a community pharmacist-linked cessation program for adults experiencing homelessness that included one-time, pharmacist-delivered counseling and furnishing nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for 3 months. Methods: We conducted a single-arm, uncontrolled trial of the pharmacist-linked intervention among adults experiencin…
Guest Support for Outdoor Smoke-Free Policies within a Homeless Shelter
Roughly 70-80% of adults experiencing homelessness smoke cigarettes. Smoke-free living/workplace policies are an empirically-supported tobacco control intervention. However, homeless shelters may be reluctant to implement smoke-free policies due to fears of it discouraging current/potential shelter guests from taking refuge there. The current study was meant to characterize guest support for on-property smoke-free policies within a homeless shelt…
Tobacco Industry Efforts to Respond to Smoke-Free Policies in Multi-Unit Housing
The tobacco industry's efforts to undermine clean indoor air policies in the hospitality industry, public spaces and workspaces is well documented, but less is known about their efforts to respond to the implementation of smoke-free policies in multi-unit housing (MUH). From 1988 to 2018, public and private multi-unit housing properties voluntarily implemented smoke-free polices in their buildings. We searched the UCSF's Truth Tobacco Industry Do…
The smoke-free home study
This study was registered with the U.S. National Institute of Health Clinical Trials register on April 22, 2021: NCT04855357
E-Cigarette Use among Current Smokers Experiencing Homelessness
Two-thirds of cigarette smokers experiencing homelessness report using alternative tobacco products, including blunts, cigarillos (little cigars) or roll-your-own tobacco or electronic nicotine delivery systems such as e-cigarettes. We examined attitudes toward e-cigarette use and explored whether e-cigarette use patterns were associated with past-year cigarette quit attempts among current smokers experiencing homelessness. Among the 470 current …

Responses to Graphic Warning Labels among Low-income Smokers
Objective: Graphic warning labels (GWLs) are effective in communicating tobacco-related harms. Methods: In this mixed-methods study, we used purposive sampling to recruit 100 low-income smokers in the San Francisco Bay Area between October 2017 and February 2018 to participate in an intervention promoting smoke-free homes. We presented the 2009 Food and Drug Administration-proposed GWLs and explored perceptions of affect, efficacy, and appeal usi…
Uneven Access to Smoke-Free Laws and Policies and Its Effect on Health Equity in the United States
Tobacco control measures have played an important role in the reduction of the cigarette smoking prevalence among US adults. However, although overall smoking prevalence has declined, it remains high among many subpopulations that are disproportionately burdened by tobacco use, resulting in tobacco-related health disparities. Slow diffusion of smoke-free laws to rural regions, particularly in the South and Southeast, and uneven adoption of volunt…
Heated tobacco products likely appeal to adolescents and young adults
PMI's own data and available evidence from scientific studies conducted independent of the tobacco industry regarding how novel tobacco products are currently being marketed suggest that introduction of IQOS will result in adolescent and young adult non-users initiating tobacco use with IQOS and could also increase poly-use of IQOS along with other tobacco products
Iqos labelling will mislead consumers
Consumers will not understand the condition of the claims-that they must quit using cigarettes completely to achieve the inferred health benefits of IQOS. Rather, they are likely to misunderstand the unsupported claims of reduced risks to mean IQOS are harm-free
E-cigarette use and smoking reduction or cessation in the 2010/2011 TUS-CPS longitudinal cohort
Among early adopters, ever-use of first generation e-cigarettes to aid quitting cigarette smoking was not associated with improved cessation or with reduced consumption, even among heavier smokers
Smoking Behaviors in a Community-Based Cohort of HIV-Infected Indigent Adults
The Effectiveness of Cigarette Price and Smoke-Free Homes on Low-Income Smokers in the United States
Objectives. We examined the effectiveness of state cigarette price and smoke-free homes on smoking behaviors of low-income and high-income populations in the United States. Methods. We used the 2006–2007 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey. The primary outcomes were average daily cigarette consumption and successful quitting. We used multivariable regression to examine the association of cigarette price and smoke-free home pol…

Blood pressure control, hypertension, awareness, and treatment in adults with diabetes in the United States-Mexico border region
Co-occurrence of diabetes and hypertension is a major public health problem among U.S.-Mexico border residents. The low rate of blood pressure control among various border groups, especially younger U.S.-born Hispanics, suggests that initiatives should aggressively target blood pressure control
Disparities in undiagnosed diabetes among United States-Mexico border populations
Efforts to improve diabetes diagnosis should concentrate on Mexican and Mexican immigrant populations on the U.S.-Mexico border
Economic Evaluation of Measles Catch-Up and Follow-Up Campaigns in Afghanistan in 2002 and 2003
This paper assesses the cost-effectiveness of, and the return on the investment in, the 2002 catch-up and the 2003 follow-up measles campaigns in Afghanistan from the perspective of the donor. The catch-up campaign targeted nearly 12 million children aged between six months and 12 years, while the follow-up campaign targeted over five million children aged between 9 and 59 months. Both campaigns successfully vaccinated approximately 96 per cent o…
