Methamphetamine Use for Weight Control
Effectiveness of Digital Interventions in Reducing Chemsex-Related Health Risks Among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
Chemsex among men who have sex with men (MSM) has emerged as a significant public health concern, creating an urgent need for effective harm-reduction strategies. Digital platforms are becoming a promising tool to reach at-risk populations, yet no comprehensive synthesis of digital interventions addressing chemsex-related health risks currently exists. This review examines recent literature on digital interventions targeting chemsex, HIV/STI risk…
Barriers and facilitators to medications for Opioid Use prescribing in primary care in the United States
Background: Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) has been proven to reduce the ill effects of opioid use disorder yet remains under prescribed, especially in primary care settings. This scoping review sought to identify barriers and facilitators to providing MOUD in US primary care settings. Methods: We conducted a scoping review of academic literature published between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2023, following PRISMA extension guidelin…
Predictors of U.S. Adults’ Opinion Toward an R-Rating Policy for Movies With Cigarette Smoking
Recently, multiple health organizations and advocacy groups have pushed for giving an R-rating for movies depicting tobacco imagery. This study examined several predictors of U.S. adults’ opinion toward an R-rating policy for movies depicting cigarette smoking. We used data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (2020 cycle), for a nationally representative sample of 3,865 US adults (aged ≥ 18). The outcome variable was opinion toward…
Association Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Opioid Use-Related Behaviors
As opioid use-related behaviors continue at epidemic proportions, identifying the root causes of these behaviors is critical. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are shown to be an important predictor of opioid initiation, opioid dependence, and lifetime opioid overdose. The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the association between ACEs and opioid use-related behaviors later in life and to discuss implications for policy, practice,…
Disparities in E-Cigarette Harm and Addiction Perceptions Among Adolescents in the United States
Disparities in Access to Mental Health Services Among Children Diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression in the United States
Child and adolescent mental health are major public health concerns in the US. Overall, 20% of US children have a reported mental health condition, while an estimated 40% will be diagnosed with one by age 18. Despite these concerns, little is known about factors associated with access to mental health services among children and adolescents. We analyzed data from a sample of 6655 children (aged 6 to 17 years) with either anxiety and/or depression…
Effects of Sensory Environment and Playfulness on Cognitive Health Among Older Adults in Singapore Public Housing
This study explores the association of "Sensory Environment" and "Playfulness" with Depression and Cognition (SEPDC) among older adults living in high-density public housing neighborhoods in Singapore. The research conducted cross-sectional surveys with 400 adults aged 55 and above living in 20 such neighborhoods. Path analyses suggest that sensory environment (multi-sensory richness of a place and its capacity to engage) and playfulness (persona…
Efficacy of Extended-Release Injectable Naltrexone on Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment
Methamphetamine-Induced Wakefulness and Sleep Management
While much attention has been given to methamphetamine's wake-promoting properties and the concept of using methamphetamine to increase energy, little is known about the ways people who use methamphetamine manage their use to pursue their functional goals or the challenges they encounter doing so. This qualitative study explores the experiences of people who used methamphetamine to manage wakefulness and reduce sleep as a means to achieve functio…
Sacred Places as Cultural Ecologies
Sacred places take many forms and are experienced and understood in many different ways. There are no fixed definitions. For me, a sacred place is somewhere that is recognised for its spiritual significance, usually because of the way people engage with it through ceremony, worship of a deity, or acts of homage. It may be a large tract of landscape or a modest or prominent feature within a landscape. It may have cross-cultural significance or it …
Factors Associated with E-Cigarette Quit Intention Among Adolescents in the United States
Background: Given increasing use of e-cigarettes among adolescents in the United States and its potential for nicotine addiction, encouraging adolescents to quit using these products has become a public health priority. This study examined factors at various socio-ecological levels associated with e-cigarette quit intention (pre-contemplation, contemplation, or preparation) using the Stages of Change of the Trans-theoretical Model among the U.S. …
Post-Aids Discourse in Health Communication
Online Narratives of Methamphetamine Use and Risky Sexual Behavior
Post-Aids Discourse in Health Communication
Dreaming a Post-Aids
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book deals with the cultural, social, political, scientific, historical, global, and local consumptions of the terms “post-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)” from the perspective of meaning-making on health, illness, and well-being. It argues that dominant discourses on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and AIDS in India, cre…
Artefacts, found objects and early games. A cultural ecological perspective on proto-chess pieces
The game of chess and its immediate precursors have a history of over 2,000 years. But what of the prehistory of the game and the pieces used? The hypothesis presented in this article is that the development of the pieces that are now associated with chess is part of a cultural ecological continuum of gaming materials through stones and other naturally occurring materials with simple shapes, stones shaped and embellished by human hands, naturally…
The Association Between Substance Use and Violence
A Meta-Theoretical Systematic Review of the Culture-Centered Approach to Health Communication
While the influence of the culture-centered approach (CCA; Dutta, 2008 ) on health communication scholarship is undeniable, there has been no evaluation of its application in the field. Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for systematic reviews (Moher, Liberati, Tetzlaff & Altman, 2009), we analyzed a corpus of empirical, peer-reviewed literature (n = 47) that used the CCA. Our findings demo…
Choosing to Live or Die
The goal of this study is to explore motivating factors for recovering from methamphetamine abuse. The source of data was 202 anonymous letters and stories submitted to an online support platform for methamphetamine users. Qualitative data were analyzed in Dedoose software using grounded theory methodology. Ten primary motivating factors for recovering from methamphetamine abuse were identified and mapped onto four constructs from the Health Beli…
Young people's engagement with their school grounds expressed through colour, symbol and lexical associations
This paper reports a comparative study in a Finnish school and a British school of the emotional associations made by 10–11-year-olds with their school grounds. Colour and symbol associations were used as a stimulus for getting students to engage with their school grounds, describe their feelings about them, and produce a lexicon of ‘emotion words’. The lexicon was used by the students in writing descriptive texts explaining ‘place meanings’ and …
“This Is What We're All About”
Issues of racial disparity continue to plague America today. Faith-based organizations have the ability to address this concern, yet few communication studies have focused on religion's potential for positive social change. For that reason, this study investigates how the management of dialectal tensions within an intercultural congregation serves to discipline its own members, thus (re)constructing a racially oppressive organizational structure.…
Unbalanced
This autoethnography describes my experiences as a doctoral student in a communication program and the father of a young child. In particular, this manuscript focuses on my struggles to maintain a sense of balance between the seemingly oppositional “callings” of fatherhood and academe. Using Rambo's (Ronai, 1992 Ronai, C. 1992. Multiple reflections of child sex abuse: An argument for a layered account. Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, 23: 395…
Cosmologies and Lifestyles
This essay critiques the majoritarian, post-Enlightenment, scientific worldview, the assumptions it makes about human cosmologies and lifestyles and how, in turn, these assumptions influence the nature of education systems. The critique focuses on how the experiences of minority cultures, particularly those cultures that are nomadic or pastoralist, challenge some of the fundamental premises of majoritarian education. There follows a cultural ecol…
Trajectories and Tensions in the Theory of Information and Communication Technology in Education
For largely historical reasons, information and communication technology in education has been heavily influenced by a form of constructivism based on the transmission and transformation of information. This approach has implications for both learning and teaching in the field. The assumptions underlying the approach are explored and a critique offered. Although the transmission approach is entrenched in procedures and pedagogies, it is increasin…

A Psychometric Approach to Investigating the Environmental Beliefs, Intentions and Behaviours of Pre‐service Teachers
The importance of attitudes and values in determining human behaviour towards the environment is widely recognised, but their relationship to knowledge and understanding of environmental issues is less well understood. However, attitudes are theoretical constructs and cannot be measured through direct observation; instead, a psychometric model of enquiry has been used to investigate environmental beliefs, intentions and behaviours. Using self‐rep…
