Menée en Angleterre à l'aide de données recueillies mensuellement sur la période 2014-2019 auprès de 300 fumeurs de cigarettes classiques (nombre total de participants : 16 567 ; âge : au moins 16 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre leur perception du danger de la cigarette électronique et leurs comportements tabagiques

Association between changes in harm perceptions and e-cigarette use among current tobacco smokers in England: a time series analysis

Perski, Olga ; Beard, Emma ; Brown, Jamie

Background: There is a decreasing trend in the proportion of individuals who perceive e-cigarettes to be less harmful than conventional cigarettes across the UK, Europe and the US. It is important to assess whether this may influence the use of e-cigarettes. We aimed to estimate, using a time series approach, whether changes in harm perceptions among current tobacco smokers have been associated with changes in the prevalence of e-cigarette use in England, with and without stratification by age, [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée jusqu'en septembre 2019 (13 études prospectives), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre l'adhésion au régime méditerranéen et le risque de cancer colorectal ainsi que la mortalité associée

Association between Mediterranean diet adherence and colorectal cancer: a dose-response meta-analysis

Zhong, Yuan ; Zhu, Yan ; Li, Quanpeng ; Wang, Fei ; Ge, Xianxiu ; Zhou, Guangxin ; Miao, Lin

Mounting epidemiologic studies have investigated the potential inverse association between Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence and colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality.This meta‐analysis aimed to investigate the association between MD adherence and CRC incidence and mortality.PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched to identify eligible studies through September 2019. A random-effects model was used to estimate summary RRs and 95% CIs.This meta-analysis included 13 prospective [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir de données d'enquêtes réalisées sur la période 2008-2016 auprès de 86 705 adolescentes de 13 à 17 ans, cette étude analyse l'association entre des facteurs de disparités socio-démographiques et économiques et les taux de vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain chez les jeunes filles

Patterns and Disparities in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine Uptake for Young Female Adolescents among US States: NIS-Teen (2008-2016)

Yoo, Wonsuk ; Koskan, Alexis ; Scotch, Matthew ; Pottinger, Heidi ; Huh, Warner K. ; Helitzer, Deborah

Background: Several studies have reported differential vaccine uptake outcomes that are associated with socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics, as well as provider type. However, none has examined a trend over a multiple-year span. In this study, we utilize a longitudinal data-based approach to examine state-level human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine trends and their influences over time. Methods: We analyzed National Immunization Survey-Teen data (2008-2016) to estimate HPV vaccine [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée entre 2008 et 2018 (54 articles), cette étude analyse les contraintes et facilitateurs des systèmes de santé pour la mise en place de programmes nationaux de vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain en Afrique sub-saharienne

Health systems constraints and facilitators of human papillomavirus immunization programmes in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review

Amponsah-Dacosta, Edina ; Kagina, Benjamin M ; Olivier, Jill

Given the vast investments made in national immunization programmes (NIPs) and the significance of NIPs to public health, it is important to understand what influences the optimal performance of NIPs. It has been established that well-performing NIPs require enabling health systems. However, systematic evidence on how the performance of health systems impacts on NIPs is lacking, especially from sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a qualitative systematic review to synthesize the available evidence [...]

Afin de mettre à jour ses recommandations de 2013 et à l'aide d'une revue de la littérature, l'U.S. Preventive Services Task Force évalue l'intérêt d'interventions de prévention et d'aide au sevrage tabagique auprès des enfants et adolescents de moins de 18 ans

Primary Care Interventions for Prevention and Cessation of Tobacco Use in Children and Adolescents: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement

US Preventive Services Task Force

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. An estimated annual 480 000 deaths are attributable to tobacco use in adults, including from secondhand smoke. It is estimated that every day about 1600 youth aged 12 to 17 years smoke their first cigarette and that about 5.6 million adolescents alive today will die prematurely from a smoking-related illness. Although conventional cigarette use has gradually declined among children in the US since the late 1990s, tobacco use via [...]
