Religiosity, school connectedness, and tobacco use susceptibility
Encouraging religiosity and school connectedness may help reduce adolescent susceptibility to tobacco use in India
Family functioning within the context of families with adolescent children in urban India
Research on family functioning within given cultural contexts is needed. This study aims to describe salient dimensions of family functioning in two urban contexts in India and to examine differences in family functioning by sociodemographic groups. We measured differences in family functioning using cross‐sectional survey questionnaire data collected from 13 to 15‐year‐old adolescents and one of their parents/primary caregivers in Mumbai ( n = 8…
Ancestral recipes”
This study brought together patients and key stakeholders committed to addressing the social determinants of health and it mobilized the community to develop culturally vetted health education materials. The findings indicate the need for increased access to evidence-based nutrition education and to culturally appropriate food products that can be easily incorporated into daily food preparation
Neighbourhood tobacco retail access and tobacco use susceptibility in young adolescents in urban India
Efforts to reduce neighbourhood tobacco retail access in India may reduce cognitive tobacco use risk factors in young adolescents. The frequency of tobacco retailer visits and perceived tobacco retailer density increased cognitive risks, though there were some exceptions in Kolkata that further research may explain
Incorporating an Increase in Plant-Based Food Choices into a Model of Culturally Responsive Care for Hispanic/Latino Children and Adults Who Are Overweight/Obese
Introduction: The national rate of obesity in US Hispanic/Latinos exceeds all other major ethnic subgroups and represents an important health disparity. Plant-based diet interventions that emphasize whole plant foods with minimal processing and less refined grains and sugar have shown great promise in control of obesity, but there is a paucity of data translating this treatment effect to disparate populations. The objective of our study was to ev…

Longitudinal study of adolescent tobacco use and tobacco control policies in India
India experiences a high burden of disease and mortality from tobacco use. To address this burden, significant long-term prevention and control activities need to include the joint impact of policy, community and family factors on adolescent tobacco use onset. The findings from this study can be used to guide the development and implementation of future tobacco control policy designed to minimize adolescent tobacco use
Compliance with point-of-sale tobacco control policies and student tobacco use in Mumbai, India
Improving vendor compliance with tobacco POS laws may reduce student tobacco use. Future studies should test strategies to improve compliance with tobacco POS laws, particularly in low-income and middle-income country settings like urban India
How can we help African American substance users stop smoking? client and agency perspectives
Research is needed to better understand barriers to smoking cessation and sustained abstinence among racial/ethnic minority polydrug users. We conducted community dialogue groups involving 49 clients in substance use treatment programs with predominantly ethnic minority clientele and individual dialogues/interviews with seven program providers (stakeholders). Most clients were African American, under 40 years old, women, current smokers, and high…
The Consent Order as Mandated Collaboration
In an age of growing infrastructure needs and increasingly limited resources to meet those needs, governments at all levels must search for ways to close the resources gap, as is the case of wastewater treatment and the requirement to treat stormwater. Recent efforts to address water quality have focused on collaboration as a mechanism to achieve desired outcomes. This article traces the development and implementation of a mandated collaborative …
E-cigarette use among students and e-cigarette specialty retailer presence near schools
Characterizing Community Health Workers on Research Teams
Objectives. To quantify the characteristics of community health workers (CHWs) involved in community intervention research and, in particular, to characterize their job titles, roles, and responsibilities; recruitment and compensation; and training and supervision. Methods. We developed and administered a structured questionnaire consisting of 25 closed- and open-ended questions to staff on National Institutes of Health–funded Centers for Populat…

E-Cigarette Use Among Never-Smoking California Students
We determined the extent to which adolescents who have never used tobacco try e-cigarettes. Data on the prevalence and correlates of e-cigarette use among 482 179 California middle and high school students are from the 2013–2014 California Healthy Kids Survey. Overall, 24.4% had ever used e-cigarettes (13.4% have never used tobacco and 11.0% have used tobacco), and 12.9% were current e-cigarette users (5.9% have never used tobacco). Among those w…

Banning tobacco sales and advertisements near educational institutions may reduce students' tobacco use risk
The tobacco sales ban near educational institutions could be expanded beyond 100 m. Greater enforcement is needed regarding the current bans, particularly because advertisement density within 100 m of schools was associated with all students' tobacco use outcomes

Evaluation of California's in-school tobacco use prevention education (Tupe) activities using a nested school-longitudinal design, 2003–2004 and 2005–2006
TUPE activities appears to be beneficial in reducing tobacco use in California high school students over time. Other contextual factors were important moderating influences on student tobacco use

A Cross‐Sectional Prevalence Study of Ethnically Targeted and General Audience Outdoor Obesity‐Related Advertising
Context: Commercial marketing is a critical but understudied element of the sociocultural environment influencing Americans' food and beverage preferences and purchases. This marketing also likely influences the utilization of goods and services related to physical activity and sedentary behavior. A growing literature documents the targeting of racial/ethnic and income groups in commercial advertisements in magazines, on billboards, and on televi…

Density of Tobacco Retailers Near Schools
Objectives. We examined the relationship between students' tobacco use and the density and proximity of tobacco retailers near their schools. Methods. We used data from the 2003–2004 California Student Tobacco Survey and California retail licensing data. Measures included students' self-reported tobacco use and geocoded state-reported locations of tobacco retailers. We used random-intercept generalized linear mixed modeling to jointly evaluate in…
Developing a Scale to Measure the Diversity of Feminist Attitudes
This article reports two studies aimed at developing a new scale of attitudes toward women, incorporating six theoretically derived perspectives: conservative; liberal, radical, socialist, and cultural feminist; and women of color (womanist). In Study 1, an initial pool of 306 items was given to 117 respondents. Selection of 10 attitudinal and 3 behavioral items from each perspective for the final scale was based chiefly on item-total correlation…

Immigrant Generational Status and Ethnic Differences in Health
We read with interest 2 recent reports using population-level epidemiological data to make inferences about ethnic differences in illicit drug use status1 or health status.2 Both reports were remiss in not attributing more importance to the influence of immigration history and immigrant generational status. Particularly for countries of origin distant from the United States and Canada and from which most immigrants came voluntarily (as opposed to…

Menthol vs nonmenthol cigarettes
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to examine intraindividual differences in smoking behavior between smoking regular and mentholated cigarettes. METHODS. Healthy male smokers (n = 29) smoked either a regular or a mentholated cigarette in two separate sessions 1 week apart. Commercial brands with comparable tar, nicotine, and CO content were used. Smoking behavior was constrained by fixed 15-second interpuff intervals, but puff volume and …

Immigrant Status and Smoking
We feel that Baluja and her coauthors1 missed an opportunity to address a paradox. Rates of smoking among male Chinese American youths are remarkably low,2 yet smoking rates among Chinese males living in China are said to exceed 60%.3 Baluja and associates reported the smoking prevalence rate for Chinese American immigrant males to be around 13%, which was well below the corresponding US male smoking prevalence rate of 24%.1 From these results, w…
