Assessing violation of local cannabis delivery bans prior to enactment of California’s Senate Bill 1186
Characteristics and effects of cannabis advertisements with appeal to youth in California
Racial, ethnic, and neighborhood socioeconomic disparities in local cannabis retail policy in California
Changes in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in the first two years (2018 – 2020) of San Francisco’s tax
Background Sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) taxes are a promising strategy to decrease SSB consumption, and their inequitable health impacts, while raising revenue to meet social objectives. In 2016, San Francisco passed a one cent per ounce tax on SSBs. This study compared SSB consumption in San Francisco to that in San José, before and after tax implementation in 2018. Methods & findings A longitudinal panel of adults (n = 1,443) was surveyed fro…
The Association between Quitline Characteristics and Smoking Cessation by Educational Attainment, Income, Race/Ethnicity, and Sex
Little research examines how tobacco quitlines affect disparities in smoking cessation in the United States. Our study utilized data from the Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2018) (TUS-CPS) and state-level quitline data from the North American Quitline Consortium and National Quitline Data Warehouse. We ran multilevel logistic regression models assessing a state-run quitline's budget, reach, number…
Educating Young Adults about Opioid Misuse
The US opioid epidemic is a serious public health problem. Rates of opioid misuse and dependence are highest for young adults ages 18-25. Prevention strategies that reduce prescription opioid misuse while decreasing stigma around dependence and treatment are critical components of addressing the epidemic. The Truth About Opioids, a mass media public education campaign, was designed to prevent opioid misuse and dependence among young adults. This …
E-Cigarette Use Among Youths and Young Adults During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Objectives. To determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic affected e-cigarette use among young people in the United States. Methods. Data came from a weekly cross-sectional online survey of youths and young adults (aged 15–24 years). Logistic regression analyses measured odds of past-30-day e-cigarette use (n = 5752) following widespread stay-at-home directives (March 14–June 29, 2020), compared with the pre‒COVID-19 period (January 1–March 13, 2020…
Perceptions of Use Patterns and Health Consequences Associated With Mentholated Cigarettes Among U.S. Adults
Despite declines in overall cigarette smoking in the United States, menthol cigarette smoking prevalence has increased among young adults (18-25 years) and remains constant among older adults (26 years and older). Disparities in menthol cigarette use exist, with higher prevalence among younger adult smokers and among racial/ethnic minority populations. Menthol in cigarettes has been shown to play a role in increasing smoking initiation and making…
Prescription Opioid Misuse
Background: High prevalence of opioid misuse has been noted among youth and young adults—particularly among those who identify as lesbian/gay or bisexual (LGB). Yet, little is known about the relationship between opioid-related attitudes and misuse among those who identify as LGB. Objectives: This study examined the role of opioid-related attitudes (i.e. acceptance of misuse and risk perception) in relation to ever and past 6-month prescription o…
Validating Self-Reported Ad Recall as a Measure of Exposure to Digital Advertising
Many mass media campaigns aimed at changing young people's health behavior air on digital platforms rather than on broadcast media (e.g., television), given the intended audience's preference for web-based communication. While research suggests self-reported ad recall correlates with exposure to television advertising, it remains unclear whether self-report measures are correlated with exposure to digital advertising. This study examined the asso…
Effects of Multiple Exposures and Ad-Skipping Behavior on Recall of Health Messages on YouTubeTM
Although measuring exposure to public health messages is key to understanding campaign effectiveness, little is known about how exposure to and avoidance of digital ad messages may influence self-reported ad recall. A sample of 15-24-year-olds ( n = 297) received a varying number of forced-view and skippable test ads across multiple simulated YouTube TM sessions. Each session was coded for whether the participant viewed the ad or skipped it. Whil…
