Non-cancer mortality among firefighters
Introduction Firefighting is a hazardous occupation linked to elevated cancer risk. However, occupational exposures unique to this profession may also contribute to non-cancer morbidity and mortality. To better understand firefighters’ health risks, it is essential to examine causes of death beyond cancer. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based studies published between 1978 and…
Health, safety training, and exposure reduction practices among U. S. fire investigators
Background: Fire investigators conduct post-fire scene work with potential exposure to combustion byproducts, damaged structures, and psychosocial stressors, yet data on exposure reduction practices and health characteristics remain limited. The objective of this analysis is to characterize training, protective practices, self-reported exposures, and health indicators among U. S. fire investigators. Methods: As part of a national photovoice study…
Implementing a Novel Workplace Smoking Cessation Intervention Targeting Hispanic/Latino Construction Workers
BACKGROUND: U.S. Hispanic/Latino construction workers constitute a large and historically underserved group in terms of smoking cessation services. Using formative research, we developed a worksite smoking cessation intervention tailored to the life/work circumstances of these workers. AIMS: This study aims to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of the developed intervention "Enhanced Care" (EC; one group behavioral cou…
Cell Phone Ownership and Cellular Text/Email Capabilities Among Temporary and Payroll Construction Workers
Background: With high rates of temporary workers and a transient worker population, the U.S. construction workforce presents a challenge for long-term research and outreach activities. Increasing availability of affordable cell phone technologies may provide an opportunity for research follow-up among construction workers once they leave the worksite. Using pilot study survey data we characterize and examine the association of cell phone technolo…
A Qualitative Assessment of Mothers' Experience With Pediatric Anemia Care in Arequipa, Peru
Background: Despite national efforts to control pediatric anemia in Peru, each year, 67.4% of all newborns are diagnosed with anemia during their first year of life. The literature on Peruvian mothers' understanding and beliefs of pediatric anemia is limited. In the present study, we aimed to understand mother's perspective of pediatric anemia and explore their perceptions on how to prevent and treat anemia in Peru. Methods: During May–June 2018,…
Public Health 101 Nanocourse
Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows—including those at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH)—have somewhat limited opportunities outside of traditional coursework to learn holistically about public health. Because this lack of familiarity could be a barrier to fruitful collaboration across disciplines, HSPH postdocs sought to address this challenge. In response, the Public Health 101 Nanocourse was developed to provide an overview of …
Arthritis, Occupational Class, and the Aging US Workforce
Objectives. The working poor sometimes delay retirement to survive. However, their higher risk of disease and disability threatens both their financial survival and their ability to work through the retirement years. We used the burden of disease attributable to arthritis by occupational class to illustrate the challenges faced by the older poor. Methods. We merged data from the National Health Interview Survey, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, …

Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Depressive Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and depression. Tobacco smoking and depression are strongly associated, but the possible effects of SHS have not been evaluated. METHODS: The 2005 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a cross-sectional sample of the noninstitutionalized civilian U.S. population. SHS exposure was measured in adults aged > or =20 years by serum cotinine an…
Sensory Impairment Among Older US Workers
We used 1997–2004 National Health Interview Survey data to evaluate the prevalence of sensory impairment among US workers 65 years and older. Hearing impairment prevalence was 3 times that of visual impairment (33.4% vs 10.2%), and 38% of older workers reported experiencing either impairment. Farm operators, mechanics, and motor vehicle operators had the highest prevalence of sensory impairment. Workplace screening and accommodations, including s…
Cancer Screening in US Workers
Regular cancer screening can prevent the development of some cancers and increase patient survival for other cancers. We evaluated the reported cancer screening prevalence among a nationally representative sample of all US workers with data from the 2000 and 2005 Cancer Screening Supplements of the National Health Interview Survey. Overall, workers with the lowest rates of health insurance coverage (in particular, Hispanic workers, agricultural w…
