Abstract Eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening (LCS) were updated by the Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2022 following an recommendation from United States Preventive Task Force. Recently, research has examined LCS use this change, which centered on lowering age to begin 55 50 years and smoking history threshold 30 20 pack-years. These studies, including accompanying article Gudina colleagues, have used Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System data, are publicly...
The Marxist roots of critical methodology envision method as anchor to an emancipatory politics that seeks structural transformation. Drawing on our negotiations carrying out culture-centered health communication projects amidst neoliberal authoritarianism, we explore the nature academic-activist-community collaborations in envisioning democratic infrastructures for socialist organizing health. Method is thus inverted from hegemonic structures Whiteness construct extractive relationships...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections can cause cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and oropharynx. The most recently approved HPV vaccine, Gardasil-9, protects against infection prevent HPV-associated invasive cancers. However, Gardasil-9 is one underused vaccines in US today. Young adults are at risk for infection, but many not vaccinated. This study uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test an innovative multilevel intervention increase vaccination rates among young...

The present study examines the self-reported impact of viewing more versus less eudaimonic Hollywood films using a retrospective design. We investigate role three novel constructs in understanding people's lived experience narratives. These include two outcomes: acceptance human condition, or perception that film helped viewer accept inevitable challenges life contribute to meaningful existence, and viewers' self-report film's on their ability make sense life's difficulties. third is...
The complementary effects of genre-specific media use and information-seeking behaviors on cancer prevention have been understudied in communication literature. A secondary analysis the Annenberg National Health Communication Survey (ANHCS) was conducted to investigate two types televised content (i.e., news entertainment programs) three screening through active health information seeking behavior (HISB) from other mass media. results show that routine television viewing significantly...
Refined estimates of risk based on genetic modifiers could assist
The current study extends family communication patterns (FCP) research to assess how schemata (conversation and conformity orientation dimensions) influence systematic processing of health appeals intended persuade individuals seek history information, emphasizing an updated conceptualization (i.e., the expanded scale). Our results suggest that conversation dimension parental control are primary drivers messages. Systematic processing, in turn, was significantly associated with more positive...
Abstract Background Professional organizations recommend the use of shared decision‐making (SDM) in supporting patients’ decisions about lung cancer screening (LCS). The objective this study was to assess impact SDM process on patient knowledge LCS, decisional conflict, intentions adhere recommendations, and its role how made final decision. Methods This surveyed patients screened for within 12 months survey, recruited from two academic tertiary care centers South Central Region U.S. (May...
There is increasing knowledge of sex-specific differences in cardiovascular disease and recognition sex disparities management. In our study, we investigated whether a programme tailored to the specific needs women could lead improved outcomes. We randomised 100 female patients receive cardiology follow-up with conventional sex-neutral cardiac (control), or sex-tailored Women's Heart Health Programme (intervention). The intervention group was managed by an all-women multidisciplinary team...
ABSTRACT Communicating complex information about environmental health risks in a single message is impossible. Thus, designers hope that risk messages encourage people to think more the and risks, look for information, ultimately make behavior changes. The presentation of using threat appeals common design strategy thought increase engagement influence attitudes, seeking, reduction behaviors. We compared lower messages, which did not include explicit statements susceptibility severity risk,...

<title>Abstract</title> Background Lung cancer screening (LCS) can reduce lung mortality but has potential harms for patients. A shared decision-making (SDM) conversation about LCS is required by the Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reimbursement.
