To examine a potential association between biologically confirmed secondhand smoke exposure and symptoms of Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) (DSM-IV) major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety panic attention-deficit/hyperactivity conduct disorder using nationally representative sample US children adolescents.Nationally cross-sectional survey the United States.Continental States.Children adolescents aged 8 to 15 years who participated in National Health...
The rate of cigarette smoking is greater among persons with mental health and/or substance abuse problems. There are few population-based datasets which to study tobacco mortality in these vulnerable groups. Oregon Health Authority identified who received publicly-funded or services from January 1996 through December 2005. These cases were then matched Vital Statistics records for all deaths (N= 148,761) the period 1999-2005. tobacco-related death rates was higher problems only (53.6%) and...
Objective: To evaluate the association between secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure and depression. Tobacco smoking depression are strongly associated, but possible effects of SHS have not been evaluated. Methods: The 2005 to 2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a cross-sectional sample noninstitutionalized civilian U.S. population. was measured in adults aged ≥20 years by serum cotinine depressive symptoms Patient Questionnaire. Zero-inflated Poisson regression analyses...
Objectives. We investigated sexual orientation–related differences in tobacco use and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure a nationally representative sample of US adults. Methods. The 2003–2010 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys assessed 11 744 individuals aged 20 to 59 years for orientation, use, SHS (cotinine levels ≥ 0.05 ng/mL nonsmoker). used multivariate methods compare prevalence among gay or lesbian (n = 180), bisexual 273), homosexually experienced 388), exclusively...
No studies have examined the longitudinal relationship between e-cigarette use and elevated depressive symptoms among young adults. The main objective of current study was to establish a potential bi-directional college students in Texas, across 1 year period time.
The demand for researchers to share their data has increased dramatically in recent years. There is a need replicate and confirm scientific findings bolster confidence many research areas. Data sharing also serves the critical function of allowing synthesis across trials. As innovative statistical methods have helped resolve barriers analyses, can help answer questions that cannot be answered by individual trials alone. However, among remains challenging infrequent. This article aims (a)...
Ecodevelopmental theory is a theoretical framework used to explain the interplay among risk and protective processes associated with HIV behaviors adolescents. Although ecodevelopmentally based interventions have been found be efficacious in preventing Hispanic youth, this has not yet directly empirically tested through basic research study population. The purpose of cross-sectional was evaluate an model using structural equation modeling, substance use early sex initiation as two outcomes...
Hearing loss has been associated with tobacco smoking, but its relationship secondhand smoke is not known. We sought to investigate the association between exposure and hearing in a nationally representative sample of adults. The National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), cross-sectional dataset, was utilised loss. Data collected from non-smoking participants aged 20-69 years were included analysis if they had completed audiometric testing, valid serum continue value, provided...
Fall-related mortality has increased rapidly over the past two decades in USA, but extent to which varies across racial and ethnic populations, counties, age groups is not well understood. The aim of this study was estimate age-standardised rates due falls by population, county, group a 20-year period.
Social support interventions have demonstrated limited effectiveness for preventing smoking relapse. The stress-buffering hypothesis may be a useful framework by which to understand social in cessation interventions. current study evaluated the interrelations among support, stress, and both moderation mediation models. Participants (N = 139) were enrolled at safety-net hospital Dallas, Texas. During week prior scheduled quit attempt, general was measured using Interpersonal Support...
Objectives: Occupational health studies often rely on self-reported secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. This study examines the accuracy of tobacco use and SHS Methods: Data serum cotinine, use, exposure for US workers were extracted from three National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (n = 17,011). Serum cotinine levels used to classify into categories. The percent agreement between with categories was calculated. Results: Workers reporting 88% accurate whereas work, home, or home+work...
Sleep disorders in the United States are pervasive and have been linked to increased risk of injury, morbidity, mortality. Smoking is a known factor for sleep disorders; association between secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure less clear. We sought examine relationship SHS among representative sample U.S. adults (n = 4,123).Data were from 2005-2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariable logistic regression models examined both smoking with two measures disorder (i.e.,...
In the United States, a debate exists as to whether abstinence-only or comprehensive sexuality education strategies are most beneficial for school-age youth. Despite abstinence being fundamental component of education, two often characterized polar opposites. Few studies have examined overlaps between approaches.

Banning smoking in work and public settings leads to immediate reductions disease burden. However, no previous studies have looked specifically at the impact bans may on depression.The 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) uses a cross-sectional design representative of non-institutionalized civilian US population.
