Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A., Smit, Ellen, Manore, Melinda M., John, Deborah, and Gunter, Katherine
Abstract:: Obesity and food insecurity rates are higher among rural compared to non-rural populations. Little is known, however, about how family-home environments influence childhood obesity-related behaviors, particularly in rural settings. This study examined associations between the family-home nutrition (FN) environment, food insecurity, and dietary intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, protein...

Abstract:: The illicit use of prescription stimulants (IUPS) is a substance use behavior that remains prevalent on college campuses. As theory can guide research and practice, we provide a systematic review of the college-based IUPS epidemiological literature guided by one ecological framework, the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI). We aim to...

Creator:: Cardenas, Andres, Smit, Ellen, Houseman, E. Andres, Kerkvliet, Nancy I., Bethel, Jeffrey W., and Kile, Molly L.
Abstract:: Background: Arsenic is an immunotoxicant. Clinical reports observe the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in people who have recovered from arsenic poisoning and in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia that have been treated with arsenic trioxide. Objective: We evaluated the association between arsenic and the seroprevalence of VZV IgG...

Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Poorly ventilated combustion stoves and pollutants emitted from combustion stoves increase the risk of acute lower respiratory illnesses (ALRI) in children living in developing countries but few studies have examined these issues in developed countries. Our objective is to investigate behaviors related to gas stove use, namely using them...

Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperuricemia often coexist and both conditions are increasing in prevalence in the U.S., although their shared role on cardiovascular risk remains highly debated. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional and longitudinal SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1988 to...

Creator:: Bavarian, Niloofar, Flay, Brian R., and Smit, Ellen
Abstract:: Non-prescription stimulant use is a high-risk behavior prevalent in the college population. To date, research on this substance use behavior lacks a comprehensive theoretical lens, as well as geographical diversity. Guided by the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI), multilevel (i.e. students within schools) modeling was used to analyze survey data...

Creator:: Kile, Molly L., Coker, Eric S., Smit, Ellen, Sudakin, Daniel, Molitor, John, and Harding, Anna K.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Gas stoves emit pollutants that are respiratory irritants. U.S. children under age 6 who live in homes where gas stoves are used for cooking or heating have an increased risk of asthma, wheeze and reduced lung function. Yet few studies have examined whether using ventilation when operating gas stoves...

Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: To test a theory-driven model of health behavior to predict the illicit use of prescription stimulants (IUPS) among college students. PARTICIPANTS: A probability sample of 554 students from one university located in California (response rate = 90.52%). METHODS: Students completed a paper-based survey developed with guidance from the Theory...

Abstract:: BACKGROUND: The illicit use of prescription stimulants (IUPS) has emerged as a high-risk behavior of the 21st century college student. As the study of IUPS is relatively new, we aimed to understand 1) characteristics of IUPS (i.e., initiation, administration routes, drug sources, motives, experiences), and 2) theory-guided intrapersonal, interpersonal, and...

Abstract:: Frailty is a state of decreased physical functioning and a significant complication of ageing. We examined frailty, energy and macronutrient intake, biomarkers of nutritional status and food insufficiency in US older adult (age ≥60 years) participants of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n 4731). Frailty was defined...
