Prevalence of e-Cigarette Use Among Adults in the United States, 2014-2018

Dai, Hongying ; Leventhal, Adam M.

Prevalence of e-cigarette use among US adolescents substantially increased from 2017 to 2018. Whether prevalence also increased among young adults (18-24 years)—a population with high vaping rates and vulnerability to nicotine dependence and other health consequences of nicotine exposure—is unknown.Prevalence of current e-cigarette use decreased among all US adults between 2014 and 2016. This study examined 2014-2018 trends and the 2017-2018 biannual change in prevalence of e-cigarette use in [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis par enquêtes réalisées sur la période 2009-2016 auprès de 13 676 individus (âge : 18 à 59 ans), cette étude estime la prévalence des infections orales par le papillomavirus humain chez les hommes et les femmes non vaccinés

Prevalence of Oral HPV Infection in Unvaccinated Men and Women in the United States, 2009-2016

Chaturvedi, Anil K. ; Graubard, Barry I. ; Broutian, Tatevik ; Xiao, Weihong ; Pickard, Robert K. L. ; Kahle, Lisa ; Gillison, Maura L.

Prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been recommended for routine use in US females since 2006 and males since 2011 for the prevention of anogenital HPV infections. Although studies have demonstrated high vaccine efficacy in reducing prevalence of oral HPV infection, prevention of oral HPV infections and oropharyngeal cancers is not a vaccine indication because of lack of randomized trials. Also lacking are surveillance studies for herd protection against oral HPV [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis en 2018 à l'aide d'une enquête auprès de 302 pédiatres et 228 médecins généralistes, cette étude analyse leurs pratiques d'administration du vaccin contre le papillomavirus humain (HPV) et leurs attitudes à l'égard des nouveaux calendriers de vaccination en 2 doses

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES : To examine, among pediatricians and family physicians (FPs) (1) human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine delivery practices, (2) delivery experiences, and (3) attitudes regarding new 2-dose HPV vaccination schedules. METHODS : We surveyed nationally representative networks of pediatricians and FPs by Internet or mail from July 2018 to September 2018. Multivariable regression was used to assess factors associated with refusal or deferral rates of ≥50% among 11- to [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis en 2017-2018 par enquêtes auprès de 2 564 hommes et 3 697 femmes âgés de plus de 18 ans, cette étude analyse, en fonction du sexe et de la catégorie d'âge, la proportion de personnes ayant reçu des conseils d'un professionnel de santé en faveur de la vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain (HPV) puis analyse leur niveau d'information sur le HPV, la vaccination et le lien entre HPV et cancer

Suk, Ryan ; Montealegre, Jane R. ; Nemutlu, Gizem S. ; Nyitray, Alan G. ; Schmeler, Kathleen M. ; Sonawane, Kalyani ; Deshmukh, Ashish A.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage (48.6% in 2017) in the United States remains far below the Healthy People 2020 goal of 80%, and a 10% difference in coverage between boys (44.3%) and girls (53.1%) has been reported. Knowledge of HPV among vaccine-eligible individuals and their parents is critical to vaccine uptake. Furthermore, the recommendation to receive an HPV vaccine from health care professionals can help parents in their decision-making to vaccinate children. Therefore, we [...]

Cette étude estime, pour 2016, le coût des programmes de prévention et des politiques anti-tabac dans les écoles et dans les lieux publics de 7 pays européens (Finlande, Irlande, Pays-Bas, Belgique, Allemagne, Italie et Portugal)

Leão, Teresa ; Perelman, Julian ; Clancy, Luke ; Hoffmann, Laura ; Kinnunen, Jaana M ; Mélard, Nora ; Nuyts, Paulien A W ; Richter, Matthias ; Rimpelä, Arja ; Lorant, Vincent ; Kunst, Anton E

Tobacco-control policies have been suggested to reduce smoking among adolescents. However, there is limited evidence on the real-world costs of implementation in different settings. In this study, we aimed at estimating the costs of school smoking bans, school prevention programmes and non-school bans (smoking bans in non-educational public settings, bans on sales to minors and bans on point-of-sale advertising), implemented in Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy and [...]

Cet article met en évidence les limites des lois anti-tabac dans les "espaces ouverts" des lieux de convivialité (restaurants, bars) en Nouvelle Zélande

Smokefree laws and hospitality settings: an example from New Zealand of a deficient approach

Wilson, Nick ; Delany, Louise ; Thomson, George W

In 2003, the New Zealand Parliament passed a smokefree law that included the prohibition of smoking inside restaurants and bars/pubs (the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003). A key purpose of the act was ‘to prevent the detrimental effect of other people’s smoking on the health of people in workplaces, or in certain public enclosed areas…’. But despite this purpose, the law still allowed for smoking in so-called ‘open areas’ at hospitality venues. These open areas are often surrounded [...]

A roadmap for a comprehensive control of cervical cancer in Poland: integration of available solutions into current practice in primary and secondary prevention

Nowakowski, Andrzej ; Arbyn, Marc ; Turkot, Maryla H. ; Wieszczy, Paulina ; Milosz, Kinga ; Kaminski, Michal F. ; Didkowska, Joanna ; Bidzinski, Mariusz ; Olszewski, Wlodzimierz ; Wielgos, Miroslaw ; Krzakowski, Maciej ; Kuchar, Ernest ; Walewski, Jan

In Poland, cervical cancer incidence and mortality still remain considerably higher than in Western European countries or North America. Recent data indicate decreasing trends in women younger than 60 years and stable trends in older women. In this article, we identified obstacles in primary and secondary prevention of cervical cancer in Poland. We analysed local legislation, management structure and organization of cervical cancer prevention in Poland and reviewed solutions available and [...]

Mené sur 314 femmes enceintes, cet essai randomisé multicentrique évalue l'effet d'un programme de SMS gratuits pour les aider à réduire leur consommation de cigarettes ou à cesser de fumer

Efficacy of a texting program to promote cessation among pregnant smokers: A Randomized Control Trial

Pollak, Kathryn I ; Lyna, Pauline ; Gao, Xiaomei ; Noonan, Devon ; Bejarano Hernandez, Santiago ; Subudhi, Sonia ; Swamy, Geeta K ; Fish, Laura J

Smoking during pregnancy poses serious risks to baby and mother. Few disseminable programs exist to help pregnant women quit or reduce their smoking. We hypothesized that an SMS text-delivered scheduled gradual reduction (SGR) program plus support texts would outperform SMS support messages alone.We recruited 314 pregnant women from 14 prenatal clinics. Half of the women received theory-based support messages throughout their pregnancy to promote cessation and prevent relapse. The other half [...]
