Combining immigration records with a postpartum population-based survey to assess prevalence of perinatal psychosocial and behavioral risk factors among immigrant subgroups.

ObjectivesPerinatal risk factors can vary by immigration status. To advance knowledge on sociobehavioral health risks among pregnant and childbearing immigrant women, we compared perinatal health indicators between immigrant and non-immigrants, overall, and according to key immigrant characteristics (refugee status, secondary migration, birth region, and duration of residence). ApproachWe conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of 33,754 immigrant and 172,342 non-immigrant childbearing women in Manitoba, Canada, aged 15-55 years, who had newborn screening data completed by public health nurses within two weeks postpartum from 2000 to 2017. The screening data was linked to a Canadian national immigration database. Additional databases were linked to collect demographic and perinatal clinical information. Logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between immigration characteristics and perinatal health indicators, such as social isolation, relationship distress, partner violence, depression, alcohol, smoking, substance use and late prenatal care initiation. ResultsMore immigrant women reported being socially isolated (12.3%) than non-immigrants (3.0%) (Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR): 6.90, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 6.53, 7.28) but exhibited lower odds of other outcomes. In the analysis restricted to immigrants, recent immigrants (< 5 years of stay) had higher odds of being socially isolated (aOR: 9.29, 95% CI: 7.80, 11.06) and late prenatal care (aOR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.23, 2.42) compared to long-term immigrants, but lower odds relationship distress, depression, alcohol, smoking and substance use. Refugee status was positively associated with social isolation, relationship distress, depression, and late prenatal care whereas secondary migration was protective for social isolation, relationship distress, and smoking. Relationship distress and behavioral health indicators varied by maternal birth region. ConclusionThe novel linkage of birth screening data with the immigration data advances knowledge on immigrant perinatal health by identifying risk patterns for multiple psychosocial and behavioral health indicators, highlighting subgroups at higher and lower risk of exposures that may contribute to adverse perinatal health outcomes.

Smoking in the workplace: A study of female call center employees in South Korea.

Smoking among women is characteristically high among call center employees and is associated with various individual and work-related characteristics, which have been paid little attention so far. This study explored the differences in intrapersonal and interpersonal characteristics and environmental factors among Korean women working in call centers by smoking status, based on an ecological model. In this cross-sectional study, an anonymous online survey was conducted among a sample of female employees from three credit card-based call centers (N = 588). Differences in intrapersonal (social nicotine dependence, smoking attitudes, emotional labor), interpersonal (smoking among family or friends, social support), and environmental factors (smoking cessation education, and perceived and preferred smoking policy at work) were compared according to smoking status (smokers, ex-smokers, and never smokers). Approximately 20% (n = 115) were smokers. Smokers were younger, mostly unmarried, had lower education, and had poorer perceived health status than ex- and never smokers. The mean scores for social nicotine dependence and smoking attitude were the highest among smokers, indicating their tendency to underestimate the negative effects of smoking. They also reported the highest level of emotional labor, with about half (50.4%) and almost all (95.7%) reporting smoking behaviors in their families and friends, respectively. Smokers took a lenient stance on the smoking ban policy. The results indicated the necessity to develop tailored smoking cessation programs to motivate female call center employees to quit smoking. As call centers may have a smoking-friendly environment, comprehensive smoking prevention programs considering multilevel factors are required to support smoking cessation.

Development of a WeChat-based Mobile Messaging Smoking Cessation Intervention for Chinese Immigrant Smokers: Qualitative Interview Study.

BackgroundSmoking remains a major public health issue among Chinese immigrants. Smoking cessation programs that focus on this population are scarce and have a limited population-level impact due to their low reach. Mobile messaging interventions have the potential to reach large audiences and expand smokers’ access to smoking cessation treatment.ObjectiveThis study describes the development of a culturally and linguistically appropriate mobile messaging smoking cessation intervention for Chinese immigrant smokers delivered via WeChat, the most frequently used social media platform among Chinese people globally.MethodsThis study had 2 phases. In phase 1, we developed a mobile message library based on social cognitive theory and the US Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence. We culturally adapted messages from 2 social cognitive theory-based text messaging smoking cessation programs (SmokefreeTXT and Decídetexto). We also developed new messages targeting smokers who were not ready to quit smoking and novel content addressing Chinese immigrant smokers’ barriers to quitting and common misconceptions related to willpower and nicotine replacement therapy. In phase 2, we conducted in-depth interviews with 20 Chinese immigrant smokers (including 7 women) in New York City between July and August 2021. The interviews explored the participants’ smoking and quitting experiences followed by assessment of the text messages. Participants reviewed 17 text messages (6 educational messages, 3 self-efficacy messages, and 8 skill messages) via WeChat and rated to what extent the messages enhanced their motivation to quit, promoted confidence in quitting, and increased awareness about quitting strategies. The interviews sought feedback on poorly rated messages, explored participant preferences for content, length, and format, discussed their concerns with WeChat cessation intervention, and solicited recommendations for frequency and timing of messages.ResultsOverall, participants reported that the messages enhanced their motivation to quit, offered encouragement, and made them more informed about how to quit. Participants particularly liked the messages about the harms of smoking and strategies for quitting. They reported barriers to applying some of the quitting strategies, including coping with stress and staying abstinent at work. Participants expressed strong interest in the WeChat mobile messaging cessation intervention and commented on its potential to expand their access to smoking cessation treatment.ConclusionsMobile messages are well accepted by Chinese immigrant smokers. Research is needed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of WeChat mobile messaging smoking cessation interventions for promoting abstinence among Chinese immigrant smokers.

The Relationship between Social Support and Vaping Behavior of Senior High Age Adolescents in Surabaya

Background: Smoking has a negative impact on health in people of all ages, especially adolescents. With technological advancements, cigarettes have taken on a new form: e-cigarettes. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has begun to prohibit the use of e-cigarettes because they contain hazardous and carcinogenic tobacco specific nitrosamines and diethylene glycol (DEG). However, e-cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia, with an increasing number of users. Objectives: To investigate the relationship between social support on smoking/vaping behaviors of senior high age adolescents in Surabaya. Methods: This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional and observational analytic design. The total number of respondents in this study was 145, as determined by the snowball sampling method. The independent variable is social support. Social support consists of instrumental support, informational support, emotional support, and appraisal support. The behavior of smoking/vaping is the dependent variable. Results: The relationship among variables was measured by using Pearson Chi-Square Test. The result shows that there is a relationship of instrumental support (p=0.000), informational support (0.019), emotional support (p=0.000), and appraisal support (p=0.000) on smoking / vaping behavior in senior high age adolescents. Conclusions: There is a relationship between social support and smoking / vaping behavior of high school age adolescents in Surabaya. Social support is important since it can influence the adolescents smoking behavior. It is hoped the family such as parents can provide a better understanding of the effect of smoking on health and for adolescents should be more selective with whom they hang out with and have the courage to refuse a friend's invitation to smoke.

Disparities in Recommendations for Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Average-Risk Individuals: An Ecobiosocial Approach.

Regardless of the high global burden of colorectal cancer (CRC), the uptake of CRC screening varies across countries. This systematic review aimed to provide a picture of the disparities in recommendations for CRC screening in average-risk individuals using an ecobiosocial approach. It was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The literature search was conducted through Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and EBSCOHost. Full-text guidelines which were published between 2011 and 2021, along with guidelines which provided recommendations on CRC screening in average-risk individuals, were included in the review. However, guidelines focusing only on a single screening modality were excluded. Fourteen guidelines fulfilling the eligibility criteria were retained for the final review and analysis. Quality assessment of each guideline was performed using the AGREE II instrument. Disparities in guidelines identified in this review were classified into ecological (screening modalities and strategies), biological (recommended age, gender and ethnicities), and social (smoking history, socioeconomic status, and behavior) factors. In general, unstandardized practices in CRC screening for average-risk individuals are likely attributable to the inconsistent and non-specific recommendations in the literature. This review calls on stakeholders and policymakers to review the existing colorectal cancer screening practices and pursue standardization.

The Influence of Sex, Gender, and Age on COVID-19 Data in the Piedmont Region (Northwest Italy): The Virus Prefers Men.

Several important sex and gender differences in the clinical manifestation of diseases have been known for a long time but are still underestimated. The infectious Coronavirus 2019 disease pandemic has provided evidence of the importance of a sex and gender-based approach; it mainly affected men with worse symptomatology due to a different immune system, which is stronger in women, and to the Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and Transmembrane protease serine 2 roles which are differently expressed among the sexes. Additionally, women are more inclined to maintain social distance and smoke less. Analysis of data on the infectious Coronavirus 2019 disease testing from people admitted to the Amedeo di Savoia Hospital, a regional referral center for infectious diseases, has been applied to the whole of 2020 data (254,640 records). A high percentage of data in the dataset was not suitable due to a lack of information or entering errors. Among the suitable samples, records have been analyzed for positive/negative outcomes, matching records for unique subjects (N = 123,542), to evaluate individual recurrence of testing. Data are presented in age and sex-disaggregated ways. Analyses of the suitable sample also concerned the relation between testing and hospital admission motivation and symptoms. Our analysis indicated that a sex and gender-based approach is mandatory for patients and the National Health System’s sustainability.

Characteristics of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smokers exposed to anti-smoking marketing in South Australia

ABSTRACT Background Smoking is disproportionately prevalent among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian peoples, with 39% of Indigenous Australians aged over 15 years smoking daily. Efforts to reduce the prevalence include culturally focused media campaigns, designed through community consultation, that highlight the need to determine how such health messaging is perceived by smokers. This study aimed to examine Indigenous Australian smokers’ reactions to a culturally focused anti-smoking mass media campaign. Methods Intercept surveying across health services and events recorded demographics, smoking status, quit attempts, smoking health effects, anti-smoking campaign recall, social support, and campaign reactions. Participants rated four different campaign images in five domains: (1) whether it made them stop and think; (2) personal relevance; (3) believability of design and message; (4) prompting concern about smoking; and (5) motivation towards quitting. Cluster analysis was used to identify smoker types. Results Smoking health effects knowledge was high, and did not differ by quit readiness, attempts, or social support. Cessation support access was higher among those with greater readiness to quit. Social smoking behaviour and confidence to support others quitting did not significantly differ between participants, however importance of others quitting did. Quit readiness, attempts, and social support were associated with reaction to campaign design, but not message recall. Four types of smokers were identified using smoking characteristics, who differed in campaign message reactions. Conclusions Culturally focused anti-smoking media can benefit from exploring how smoker types can be used to differentiate messaging by smokers’ profile characteristics, to support mass media smoking cessation efforts.

Status of social capital and its relationship with the success rate of smoking cessation in patients referred to the smoking cessation clinic of Farshchian Cardiovascular Hospital in Hamadan

ABSTRACT Background and Objective Several studies showed the effect of social capital on smoking cessation. The present study examined this issue. Materials and Methods One hundred eleven smokers admitted to the smoking cessation clinic were consecutively included in a cross-sectional study in 2019. The data were collected using a checklist of demographic characteristics, nicotine dependency (Fagerström questionnaire) and social capital scale (Bullen). The success rate for smoking cessation was determined for smokers at 1-, 3- and 6-month intervals. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 software. Result Of the 111 participants, 107 were males. The mean age of participants was 47.42 ± 12.66 years. The minimum score of social capital was 63 and the maximum was 172. Of all the patients admitted to the clinic, only 43 (38.7%) completed the cessation sessions (at least 4 sessions), with the mean score of social capital having no significant differences between the two groups (107.97 ± 17.93, 107.58 ± 19.95, respectively, p: NS) Conclusion Given the lack of a significant relationship between social capital and successful smoking cessation in the study, studying other factors like socioeconomic conditions and social norms that affect social capital and smoking cessation seems to be advisable to consider in future studies.

Suicide rate and social environment characteristics in South Korea: the roles of socioeconomic, demographic, urbanicity, general health behaviors, and other environmental factors on suicide rate

BackgroundSuicide is a serious worldwide public health concern, and South Korea has shown the highest suicide rate among Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries since 2003. Nevertheless, most previous Korean studies on suicide had limitations in investigating various social environment factors using long-term nationwide data. Thus, this study examined how various social environment characteristics are related to the suicide rate at the district-level, using nationwide longitudinal data over 11 years.MethodsWe used the district-level age-standardized suicide rate and a total of 12 annual social environment characteristics that represented socioeconomic, demographic, urbanicity, general health behaviors, and other environmental characteristics from 229 administrative districts in South Korea. A Bayesian hierarchical model with integrated Laplace approximations (INLA) was used to examine the spatiotemporal association between the rate of suicide and the social environment indicators selected for the study.ResultsIn the total population, the indicators “% of population aged 65 and older eligible for the basic pension”, “% vacant houses in the area”, “% divorce”, “% single elderly households”, “% detached houses”, “% current smokers”, and “% of population with obesity” showed positive associations with the suicide rate. In contrast, “% of people who regularly participated in religious activities” showed negative associations with suicide rate. The associations between these social environment characteristics and suicide rate were generally more statistically significant in males and more urbanized areas, than in females and less urbanized areas; however, associations differed amongst age groups, depending on the social environment characteristic variable under study.ConclusionsThis study investigated the complex role of social environments on suicide rate in South Korea and revealed that higher suicide rates were associated with lower values of socioeconomic status, physical exercise, and religious activities, and with higher social isolation and smoking practice. Our results can be used in the development of targeted suicide prevention policies.

Literature Review: Lingkungan Sosial dan Perilaku merokok pada Remaja

Smoking behavior is a problem related to public health conditions because it can lead to various health problems. A Global Youth Tobacco study in 2008 showed that the prevalence rate of adolescent smokers in Indonesia was very alarming. This study aims to determine a relationship between the social environment and smoking behavior in adolescents. The research method uses scientific research literature review, by analyzing various articles which valid and relevant to the topic. This study uses the literature of the National Journal published from 2018 to 2021. The database used to collect literature is Google Scholar with the keywords "Social Environment", "Smoking Behavior", "Adolescents". Researchers found 1,030 articles on Google Scholar then finally researchers got 10 articles relevant to the inclusion criteria. The results showed that from the ten articles, it was stated that the social environment and smoking behavior in adolescents were two interrelated things. The social environment is one ofthe driving factors for adolescents to smoke. The most influential adolescent social environment is family or parents and peers. Special assistance to adolescents is needed in order to reduce the prevalence of smoking in adolescents, especially in Indonesia.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Intake during Pregnancy and Child Neuropsychological Development: A Multi-Centre Population-Based Birth Cohort Study in Spain.

Background: There are few studies that look at the intake of all types of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) during the different stages of pregnancy along with a long-term neuropsychological follow-up of the child. This study aims to explore the association between maternal n-3 PUFA intake during two periods of pregnancy and the child’s neuropsychological scores at different ages. Methods: Prospective data were obtained for 2644 pregnant women recruited between 2004 and 2008 in population-based birth cohorts in Spain. Maternal n-3 PUFA intake during the first and third trimester of pregnancy was estimated using validated food frequency questionnaires. Child neuropsychological functions were assessed using Bayley Scales of Infant Development version one (BSID) at 1 year old, the McCarthy Scale of Children’s Abilities (MSCA) at 4 years old, and the Attention Network Test (ANT) at 7 years old. Data were analysed using multivariate linear regression models and adjusted for potential covariates, such as maternal social class, education, cohort location, alcohol consumption, smoking, breastfeeding duration, and energy intake. Results: Compared to participants in the lowest quartile (<1.262 g/day) of n-3 PUFA consumption during the first trimester, those in the highest quartile (>1.657 g/day) had a 2.26 points (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.41, 4.11) higher MSCA general cognitive score, a 2.48 points (95% CI: 0.53, 4.43) higher MSCA verbal score, and a 2.06 points (95% CI: 0.166, 3.95) higher MSCA executive function score, and a 11.52 milliseconds (95% CI: −22.95, −0.09) lower ANT hit reaction time standard error. In the third pregnancy trimester, the associations were weaker. Conclusions: Positive associations between n-3 PUFA intake during early pregnancy and child neuropsychological functions at 4 and 7 years of age were found, and further clinical research is needed to confirm these findings.

Unravelling the web of addictions: A network analysis approach

BackgroundCommon elements across different forms of addiction suggest the possibility of comorbid addictions, as well as the transition/replacement of one form of addiction with another. This study aimed to conduct a Network analysis of symptoms of 10 forms of addictive behaviors to examine their behavioral commonalities/ interrelations. Methods: To address this aim, an online community sample of 968 adult participants (33.6% women, 66.4% men) completed self-rating questionnaires covering a range of addictive behaviors including alcohol, drugs, tobacco, sex, online gambling, internet use, internet gaming, social media use, shopping, and exercise. Their responses were examined with regularized partial correlation network analysis (EBICglasso) and a community detection algorithm (Walktrap) to identify: (a) specific links between neighboring forms of addiction; and (b) clustering of symptoms of addiction. Results: Findings showed positive network connections across different addictive behaviors, with addictive tendencies towards gambling showing the highest centrality, sequentially followed by addictive tendencies towards internet use, internet gaming, alcohol, shopping, social media use, drugs, sex, smoking, and exercise. Conclusion: Symptoms associated with disordered drug use and gambling are suggested to maintain severity of addictive disorders and increase the likelihood of developing cross addictive behaviors. Clinical implications for the assessment and treatment of addiction comorbidities and the replacement of one form of addiction with another are discussed considering these findings.

Occupational stress and common mental disorders: how do coping strategies work?

IntroductionCoping strategies are described as devices capable of minimizing the effects of occupational stress on workers’ mental health.ObjectivesTo evaluate the association between occupational stressors and occurrence of common mental disorders and how coping strategies work in this relationship.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study with 3,343 healthcare workers from six municipalities in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Common mental disorders were measured by the Self-Reporting Questionnaire, and occupational stressors by the Job Content Questionnaire. Coping strategies included physical activity, leisure activities, social support at work, alcohol consumption, and smoking. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed, stratified by sex.ResultsOccupational stressors were associated with common mental disorders, more strongly among women. The practice of physical activity contributed to reduce the prevalence of common mental disorders, regardless of occupational stressors. Leisure activities were associated with lower prevalence of common mental disorders, but without statistical significance, losing relevance in the presence of occupational stressors. Social support and smoking or drinking habits were not associated with common mental disorders and did not influence the relationship with occupational stressors.ConclusionsOccupational stressors are associated with common mental disorders, with emphasis on high demand, even after adjusted for coping strategies. The relationship between occupational stressors and mental is corroborated, with greater female vulnerability, as well as the role of positive coping strategies in protecting mental health. The pertinence of adopting measures that reduce stress at work, promote the adoption of positive coping strategies, and consider gender inequalities in these relationships.

Risk factors for incidence of dementia in primary care practice: a retrospective cohort study in older adults.

The dementias are long-term, chronic conditions caused by progressive neurological degeneration. Current literature suggests that cardiovascular disease risk factors may contribute to the onset of dementia; however, evidence of these associations is inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the impact of risk factors on dementia onset in older adults diagnosed and managed in Canadian primary care settings. A retrospective cohort study was employed utilizing electronic medical records data in the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN). Patients aged 65+ years with no dementia diagnosis at baseline who were followed from 2009 to 2017 with a run-in year to exclude existing undiagnosed dementia cases. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate risk. Age was associated with an increased incidence risk of dementia in both examined age groups: 65-79 years (13%) and 80+ years (5%). History of depression increased dementia risk by 38% and 34% in the age groups. There were significant associations with lower social deprivation area quintile, smoking history, osteoarthritis, and diabetes mellitus in patients aged 65-79 years but not in those aged 80+ years. Sex, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and the use of antihypertensive medications and statins were not associated with risk of incident dementia diagnosis. The association between chronic health conditions and dementia onset is complicated. Primary care electronic medical record data might be useful for research in this topic, though follow-up time is still relatively short to observe a clear causal relationship. Future studies with more complete data may provide evidence for dementia preventive strategies within primary care practice.

Understanding contexts of smoking and vaping among dual users: analysis of ecological momentary assessment data.

To understand dual users' cigarette and e-cigarette use patterns, including the contexts in which they vape versus smoke and to understand how environmental and internal contexts and smoking patterns differ between dual users and exclusive smokers. Longitudinal observational trial. Research center in Wisconsin, USA. Adult dual users (n = 162) and adults who exclusively smoked (n = 143), with no plans to quit smoking or vaping in the next 30 days. Participants carried smartphones for 2 weeks at baseline to record each use event for the two products and report on the context of their product use. The percentage of mornings where participants vaped first versus smoked were used to compute e-cigarette dependence. Hierarchical linear regression models with random slopes and intercepts examined the within- and between-subject effects of context on the likelihood of vaping (versus smoking); significant fixed effects were tested for moderation by e-cigarette dependence. Dual users reported significantly more puffs/cigarette [mean = 13.1, standard deviation (SD) = 10.2] than puffs/vape event (mean = 11.7, SD = 11.5; P = 0.01). E-cigarette dependence moderated the influence of social cues (t-ratio = 2.4, P = 0.02) and smoking restrictions (t-ratio = 3.1, P = 0.003) on the likelihood of vaping versus smoking [odds ratio (OR) = 2.30, P = 0.02]. Context was more related to which product was used in those of low versus higher e-cigarette dependence. Reports of strong cravings to smoke and positive expectancies for cigarettes were associated with a reduced likelihood of vaping, whereas strong cravings to vape and positive vaping expectancies were related to increased likelihood of vaping. Among dual users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes with no motivation to quit, vaping appears to be related to internal cues and more highly linked with social contexts and smoking restrictions (i.e. under stronger external stimulus control) among those with low to moderate e-cigarette dependence compared with high e-cigarette dependence. These findings illustrate the importance of contextual factors in tobacco product use among dual users with the influence of context being reduced at high levels of e-cigarette dependence.

Factors related to caregivers’ risk perception of secondhand smoke exposure on children’s health

INTRODUCTIONHome is one of the main places for children’s secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. The implementation of smoke-free rules at home might be influenced by caregivers’ risk perception of SHS exposure. This study aimed to analyze factors related to caregivers’ risk perception of SHS exposure in children.METHODSWe conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey among a representative sample of 2411 parents or legal guardians of children aged <12 years in Spain in 2016. The main study variable was caregivers’ healthrisk perception of SHS exposure on children. We investigated correlates of risk perception using multivariate Poisson regression models with robust variance.RESULTSOverall, 59.6% reported SHS exposure negatively affects children’s health a lot, while 34.1% that it affects quite a bit, and 5.5% and 0.8% a little bit or not at all, respectively. The factors associated with a higher caregivers’ risk perception were high education level (adjusted prevalence ratio, APR=1.11; 95% CI: 1.01–1.24), living in a non-smoking family unit (APR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.07–1.27), in a home with smoke-free rules (APR=1.34; 95% CI: 1.19–1.51), and with girls only (APR=1.14; 95% CI: 1.06–1.22).CONCLUSIONSCaregivers’ risk perception of SHS exposure is influenced by social determinants and smoking habits in family units. These findings support the need for interventions with a social equity perspective to reduce children’s SHS exposure.

Examining the Mediating Effect of Believability on the Relationship between Social Influences and Smoking Behavior for Smoking Cessation among Korean Youths

Examining the Mediating Effect of Believability on the Relationship between Social Influences and Smoking Behavior for Smoking Cessation among Korean Youths
