Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.
Approximately 40,000 U.S. women die from breast cancer each year. Mammography is recommended to screen for and reduce mortality. Adverse social determinants of heath (SDOH) health-related needs (HRSNs) (e.g., lack transportation isolation) can be barriers getting mammograms.
Abstract Objective People with cancer are increasingly more likely to visit an emergency department for acute care than the general population. They often have long wait times and exposure infection receive treatment from staff less experienced cancer‐related problems. Our objective was examine (ED) visits among people understand how why they seek care. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of ED using National Syndromic Surveillance Program BioSense Platform. Cancer reported during...
Results from the second CONCORD study (CONCORD-2) indicated that 5-year net survival for lung cancer was low (range, 10%-20%) between 1995 and 2009 in most countries, including United States, which at higher end of this range.Data CONCORD-2 were used to analyze among patients with (aged 15-99 years) who diagnosed 37 states covering 80% US population. Survival corrected background mortality using state-specific race-specific life tables age-standardized International Cancer Standard weights....
BACKGROUND Preinjury antithrombotic (AT) use is associated with worse outcomes for geriatric (65 years or older) patients traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies have found that of AT outside established guidelines widespread in TBI patients. METHODS In this single-center retrospective cross-sectional study, we examined inappropriate among presenting intracranial hemorrhage. We reviewed records 65 older preinjury who presented to a Level 1 trauma center hemorrhage between 2016 and...
Cellular processes are tightly controlled through well-coordinated signaling networks that respond to conflicting cues, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signals, and survival factors ensure proper cell function. We report here a direct interaction between inhibitor of κB kinase (IKK) apoptosis signal-regulating 1 (ASK1), unveiling critical node at the junction survival, inflammation, networks. IKK can be activated by growth factor stimulation or tumor...
BACKGROUND Comparative effectiveness studies of state tobacco quitlines and Web‐based cessation interventions are limited. In 2009, the US Centers for Disease Control Prevention undertook a study comparative interventions. METHODS Standardized questionnaires were administered to smokers who enrolled exclusively in either or services 4 states 2011‐2012. The primary outcome was 30‐day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) rate at 7 months both between within RESULTS A total 4086 participants...
Background : Physical activity is central to the management and control of many chronic health conditions. The authors examined trends during past 2 decades in prevalence US adults with without select conditions who met minimal aerobic physical guideline. Methods 1998–2018 National Health Interview Survey data were analyzed. Prevalence meeting guideline among 6 was estimated across 3-year intervals. Linear higher-order assessed overall by age group. Results During decades, increased...
<h3>Background:</h3> National organizations have issued comprehensive cancer survivorship care guidelines to improve of survivors, many whom receive from primary providers (PCPs). <h3>Methods:</h3> We analyzed Porter Novelli’s 2019 fall DocStyles survey assess use guidelines, receipt training, types services provided, and confidence providing among PCPs in the United States. grouped by any guideline (“users”) versus no (“nonusers”). calculated descriptive statistics conducted multivariable...
Radon exposure is the second leading risk factor for lung cancer among smokers and non-smokers. concentrated in lower levels of homes/buildings can be reduced if found, thus lowering risk. The objective this study was to measure radon knowledge diverse populations, with varying radon-related laws, inform control practices activities. A survey mailed 3000 homebuyers who purchased single-family homes; 995 responses (33%) were received. Overall, 86% respondents heard health issues. Real estate...
Abstract Purpose We conducted a 12‐month pilot study of 2 complementary strategies for improving rural cancer survivorship outcomes: (1) Project ECHO, telementoring model to increase knowledge and skills about among multidisciplinary health care provider teams in areas (2) patient navigation (PN) services connect survivors with resources enhancing wellness. Methods recruited 4 CDC‐funded National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program sites implement ECHO PN interventions defined population...
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic cancer. Receipt of treatment from a oncologist an evidence-based recommendation to reduce mortality disease. We examined knowledge and application this in primary care physicians as part CDC awareness campaign efforts discussed results context National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP). analyzed physician responses questions about how often they refer patients diagnosed with ovarian oncologists, reasons for lack referral. also these...
Objective. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in children, but incidence data are not available until two years after diagnosis, thereby delaying dissemination and research. An early case capture (ECC) surveillance program was piloted seven state cancer registries to register pediatric cases within 30 days diagnosis. We sought determine quality ECC understand pilot implementation. Methods. used quantitative qualitative methods evaluate ECC. assessed by comparing demographic clinical...
Background: Over 16,000 women are diagnosed with a human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated gynecologic cancer every year. Because most of these cancers preventable, correct and appropriate information about the HPV vaccine cervical screening can help reduce incidence. Materials Methods: The Centers for Disease Control Prevention created Inside Knowledge: Get Facts About Gynecologic Cancer campaign materials, which were used by seven National Comprehensive Program recipients in tailored...
