Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir des données de deux vagues d'enquêtes réalisées entre 2013 et 2015 auprès d'un échantillon de 10 989 adolescents ou jeunes adultes (âge : 12 à 21 ans), cette étude analyse, en fonction de catégories d'âge, l'association entre le degré de réceptivité à la publicité concernant différents produits tabagiques (cigarettes conventionnelles, cigarettes électroniques, cigares et tabacs sans fumée) et l'utilisation ultérieure de ces produits

Association between receptivity to tobacco advertising and progression to tobacco use in youth and young adults in the path study

Pierce, J. P. ; Sargent, J. D. ; Portnoy, D. B. ; et al.,

Importance : Cigarette marketing contributes to initiation of cigarette smoking among young people, which has led to restrictions on use of cigarette advertising. However, little is known about other tobacco advertising and progression to tobacco use in youth and young adults. Objective : To investigate whether receptivity to tobacco advertising among youth and young adults is associated with progression (being a susceptible never user or ever user) to use of the product advertised, as well as [...]

Advertising and youth

Moreno, M.

Pediatricians and researchers have many concerns about the influence of advertising on children and adolescents. One way that advertisements try to influence children is through brand tie-ins. This strategy is to link a product to a favorite movie, television show, or celebrity. An example is a fast food restaurant providing toys in a kid’s meal from a popular movie. Placing products in movies, such as having a movie character drink a particular soda, is another way to tie in products and [...]

Mené sur 396 patients atteints d'un cancer de l'estomac de stade précoce traité par résection endoscopique ou atteints d'un adénome de haut grade (durée médiane de suivi : 5,9 ans), cet essai évalue l'effet d'une éradication thérapeutique de la bactérie Helicobacter pylori sur le taux de cancers gastriques métachrones à 1 an et sur le niveau d'atrophie du corps gastrique à 3 ans

Helicobacter pylori Therapy for the Prevention of Metachronous Gastric Cancer

Choi, Il Ju ; Kook, Myeong-Cherl ; Kim, Young-Il ; Cho, Soo-Jeong ; Lee, Jong Yeul ; Kim, Chan Gyoo ; Park, Boram ; Nam, Byung-Ho

Background : Patients with early gastric cancers that are limited to gastric mucosa or submucosa usually have an advanced loss of mucosal glandular tissue (glandular atrophy) and are at high risk for subsequent (metachronous) development of new gastric cancer. The long-term effects of treatment to eradicate Helicobacter pylori on histologic improvement and the prevention of metachronous gastric cancer remain unclear. Methods : In this prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized [...]

Helicobacter pylori Treatment for Gastric Cancer Prevention

Malfertheiner, Peter

Gastric cancer has become a potentially preventable disease through eradication of Helicobacter pylori. However, issues that are associated with “screen and treat” strategies — their effectiveness, proper selection of populations to target, and cost–benefit considerations — continue to interfere with the application of such strategies in regular practice. A major uncertainty relates to the most effective timing for the implementation of a screen-and-treat program. One factor influencing this [...]

Mené auprès de 1 357 fumeurs adultes souhaitant arrêter de fumer et ayant reçu des conseils pour arrêter le tabagisme au cours d'une hospitalisation, cet essai analyse l'utilisation auto-rapportée de la cigarette électronique un et trois mois après l'hospitalisation puis évalue, du point de vue du taux d'abstinence tabagique à 6 mois, l'intérêt de ce produit

Association of e-cigarette use with smoking cessation among smokers who plan to quit after a hospitalization: A prospective study

Rigotti, N. A. ; Chang, Y. ; Tindle, H. A. ; et al.,

Background : Many smokers report using e-cigarettes to help them quit smoking, but whether e-cigarettes aid cessation efforts is uncertain. Objective : To determine whether e-cigarette use after hospital discharge is associated with subsequent tobacco abstinence among smokers who plan to quit and are advised to use evidence-based treatment. Design : Secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01714323 [parent trial]) Setting : 3 hospitals. Participants : 1 [...]

Behavioral counseling to prevent skin cancer: Us preventive services task force recommendation statement

U. S. Preventive Services Task Force

Importance : Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Although invasive melanoma accounts for only 2% of all skin cancer cases, it is responsible for 80% of skin cancer deaths. Basal and squamous cell carcinoma, the 2 predominant types of nonmelanoma skin cancer, represent the vast majority of skin cancer cases. Objective : To update the 2012 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on behavioral counseling for the primary prevention of skin cancer [...]

Importance : Exposure to UV radiation, especially in childhood, increases skin cancer risk. Objective : To systematically review the evidence on the benefits and harms of behavioral counseling for skin cancer prevention to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Data Sources : Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and PubMed were searched for studies published from January 2009 to March 31, 2016, for skin cancer prevention and from August 2005 to March 31, [...]

USPSTF recommendations for behavioral counseling for skin cancer prevention: Throwing shade on UV radiation

Linos, E. ; Pagoto, S.

In this week’s issue of JAMA, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) discusses their recommendations on behavioral counseling for skin cancer prevention,1 supported by an evidence report and systematic review.2 Based on the available studies conducted in primary care settings between 2009 and 2017, the review concluded that “behavioral interventions can increase sun protection behavior, but there is no consistent evidence that interventions are associated with a reduction in the [...]

Sun protection and skin self-examination and the us preventive services task force recommendation on behavioral counseling for skin cancer prevention

Robinson, J. K. ; Jablonski, N. G.

In this issue of JAMA, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) provides 3 recommendations about counseling patients in self-management of prevention and early detection of skin cancer.1 Specifically, the USPSTF “recommends counseling young adults, adolescents, children, and parents of young children about minimizing exposure to UV radiation for persons aged 6 months to 24 years with fair skin types to reduce their risk of skin cancer (B recommendation)”; “recommends that clinicians [...]

Should pediatricians be more proactive in counseling children about skin cancer risk? Implications of the USPSTF recommendation statement

Sidbury, R.

The most recent issue of JAMA includes the updated recommendation statement from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on behavioral counseling to prevent skin cancer.1 In the same issue is the supporting evidence report and systematic review.2 The recommendations differ notably from the 2012 iteration3 in the following ways: (1) counseling for persons with fair skin types is now recommended as early as age 6 months, down from age 10 years; and (2) selective counseling is now [...]

The value of behavioral counseling for skin cancer prevention: Actions we can take now and guidance for the future

Ferris, L. K.

Melanoma kills nearly 10 000 people in the United States each year.1 The more prevalent keratinocyte carcinomas, including basal and squamous cell carcinoma, cause less mortality but contribute to health care costs and can cause substantial morbidity. While treatment options for advanced melanoma have improved over the past decade, primary and secondary prevention, through protection from UV radiation (UVR) and early self-detection, have the potential to reduce the incidence of advanced skin [...]
