Cummins, Sharon E ; Kirby, Carrie A ; Wong, Shiushing ; Anderson, Christopher M ; Zhu, Shu-Hong

Financial incentives have been shown to improve recruitment of low-income smokers into tobacco quitline services and to improve cessation outcomes. The present study evaluated their use to re-engage low-income smokers who had already used a quitline.Randomly selected Medicaid smokers (N=5,200) who had previously enrolled in a quitline were stratified by time since enrollment (3, 6, 9, or 12 months) and randomly assigned in a 2x4 factorial design to receive, by mail or telephone, an invitation [...]

Disparities in Nicotine Addictiveness and Cancer Harm Perceptions among U.S. Adults: A Trend Analysis Using the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS)

Peterson, Emily B ; Pitzer, Lindsay ; Zhao, Xiaoquan

Recent research has found widespread misperceptions about nicotine. This study tests perceptions among US adults with respect to nicotine addictiveness and cancer harm, while distinguishing between nicotine misperceptions (i.e., an incorrect response) and “don’t know” (DK) responses.Data from three cycles of the Health Information National Trends Survey, fielded in 2015, 2017, and 2019 were merged for analysis. Weighted multinominal logistic regression models were conducted where nicotine [...]

Background: Selenium (Se) is a trace element that has been investigated as a potential chemopreventive agent for colorectal cancer. Dietary intake of other antioxidant nutrients may modify the effect of Se. Objective: We examined the association between intake and serum concentrations of retinol, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, and α- and γ-tocopherol and the development of metachronous colorectal adenoma, and if these nutrients modified the effect of Se. Methods: We [...]

Menée à partir des données d'une enquête américaine portant sur 4 727 filles (âge moyen : 17,9 ans), cette étude compare l'effet, sur la réduction de l'incidence des lésions précancéreuses et du cancer du col de l'utérus, d'une vaccination précoce (entre 9 et 12 ans) et d'une vaccination tardive (après 12 ans) contre le papillomavirus humain, en fonction de l'origine ethnique

Egemen, Didem ; Katki, Hormuzd A. ; Chaturvedi, Anil K. ; Landy, Rebecca ; Cheung, Li C.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination at ages 9 to 12 years1 as protection against HPV types 16 and 18 (HPV-16/18), the genotypes in 70% of cervical cancers. Although the importance of vaccination uptake is well known, vaccination often occurs later than recommended. Recent studies have documented the effectiveness of early-age vaccination for reducing cervical precancer and [...]

Tobacco quitlines: Opportunities for innovation to increase reach and effectiveness

Sheffer, Christine E.

The largest tobacco treatment network in North America, Tobacco Quitlines are an effective population-based approach to increase tobacco cessation; however, overall reach has decreased significantly in the past decade. A new generation of innovations responsive to evolving shifts in communication preferences, supported by research, and focused on increasing the impact of services have the potential to reinvigorate this network. The goal of this narrative review was to identify opportunities for [...]
