Associations Between Daily-Use Products and Urinary Biomarkers of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Adults of Reproductive Age
Greater product use and more ingredients of concern are associated with urinary metabolites of known EDCs and self-ratings of poor health. Women and people who take supplements are at greater risk, and even people who consider themselves to be healthy can be highly exposed. More education among the general public is needed to make people aware of the presence of these chemicals in their everyday products so they can make efforts to avoid them
A Personalized Intervention to Increase Environmental Health Literacy and Readiness to Change in a Northern Nevada Population
The report-back intervention was successful as evidenced by increased EHL behaviors, increased readiness to change among women, and a decrease in monobutyl phthalate. An EHL questionnaire more sensitive to chemical exposures would help differentiate high and low literacy. Future research will focus on understanding why men decreased their readiness to change and how the intervention can be improved for all participants
Natural Gas Operations from a Public Health Perspective
The technology to recover natural gas depends on undisclosed types and amounts of toxic chemicals. A list of 944 products containing 632 chemicals used during natural gas operations was compiled. Literature searches were conducted to determine potential health effects of the 353 chemicals identified by Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers. More than 75% of the chemicals could affect the skin, eyes, and other sensory organs, and the respiratory…
Case Management Outcomes for Women Who Use Crack
Women who use crack are at risk for HIV in addition to problems surrounding their drug use. In this study, 149 crack using women participated in a case management intervention. The sample was predominantly African-American and Hispanic and averaged 42 years old. At follow-up, significant improvements were reported on drug and alcohol use, mental and emotional health, and employment. The results indicate that case management services are useful to…

Dream use in film making
The correlation between film and dream has an extensive theoretical basis in both cognitive science and cinematic literature. Biographical and autobiographical reports from film makers document antidotal descriptions of the use of dream in creative aspects of screen writing, acting and directing film. However, no systematic or analytic approach has been used in the attempt to document dream utilization in film making. Film makers attending the Su…

Effectiveness of HIV/Aids Interventions on Drug Use and Needle Risk Behaviors for Out-of-Treatment Injection Drug Users
This study presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of the AIDS Community-Based Outreach/Intervention projects implemented as part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Cooperative Agreement (CA), which began in 1990 and is currently ongoing. Participants in the CA were randomly assigned to one of two interventions: a NIDA/CA-developed standard intervention (SI); or the SI plus a site-specific enhanced intervention (EI). Analyses of d…
Women, Homelessness, And Substance Abuse
This study examined the characteristics of homeless women with substance abuse problems. Data were collected on a sample of 323 homeless substance abusers. First, 49 women and 274 men were compared to demonstrate distinct problems and treatment needs of the women. Results showed that the women were more likely than the men to abuse drugs, but less likely to receive substance abuse treatment. In addition, women spent more time in doubled-up living…
