Stringent regulations restricting tobacco access to those under 21 are in place, yet young people continue accessing tobacco products. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, opinions, resource utilization, and training needs of tobacco retailers in terms of preventing underage tobacco sales. <i>Methodology</i>. This cross-sectional study analyzed anonymized responses from 467 licensed tobacco retailers in 16 southern counties of Illinois. The survey included 29 questions adapted from validated items, utilized a hybrid methodology (online and in-person), and targeted both retail store owners and managers. <i>Results</i>. Among 118 respondents, 98.3% were aware of the Tobacco-21 law, but 56.8% doubted its impact on reducing underage sales. Gaps in knowledge persisted, especially regarding policies and enforcement laws for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS). Overall, there was a disparity in preventive measures and program utilization with a low engagement in rural areas and smaller stores. Approximately 48.3% encountered older youths attempting to purchase tobacco. Most respondents (72.9%) supported training for newly hired clerks, focusing on underage sales refusal (54.2%) and ID verification (62.7%). Nearly half (44.9%) felt the need for training in handling aggressive young buyers. The main barrier to training was time constraints for in-person sessions (28.0%), although 41.5% reported no barriers. While \"We Card\" was widely used (82.2%), only 38.5% displayed the FDA's \"This is Our Watch.\" <i>Conclusion</i>. A discrepancy exists between awareness and effective practice among retailers, especially in rural areas and smaller establishments. Findings highlighted the need for targeted retailer training and resource utilization to combat underage tobacco access.</p>","PeriodicalId":47956,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Practice","volume":" ","pages":"15248399241311842"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objective was to explore factors influencing parental and adolescents' COVID-19 vaccine decision-making during the Omicron winter 2021/2022 surge. Participants were recruited from an academic pediatric primary care clinic. Eligible adolescents (aged 12-17 years) who received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine between December 2021 and February 2022 were recruited to participate in a semistructured interview with their parent. Perspectives were illuminated through thematic analysis of the data that included coding and pattern identification. Ten parent-adolescent dyads' interview data were analyzed and classified into three principal themes influencing vaccine acceptance during the Omicron surge: perceived risk of COVID-19 infection, family member influence, and clear, two-way communication with a clinician. Despite widespread COVID-19 vaccine availability for adolescents, vaccination rates remain suboptimal even during times of increased disease prevalence.

Deemed essential, the meat processing workforce faced the risk of exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Along with other essential workforces, meat processing workers were prioritized in the national approach to receive COVID-19 vaccines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. This mixed methods study aimed to identify the facilitators and barriers to COVID-19 vaccine uptake by meat processing workers in Nebraska through interviews (<i>n</i> = 29), a survey (<i>n</i> = 857), and application of the COM-B model. We found that facilitators for vaccine uptake included having information about the vaccine available; providing vaccines at the workplace, in pharmacies, and throughout the community to increase accessibility; feeling that there was a social responsibility to get vaccinated; believing that the vaccine was protective; and the use of various incentives. Barriers for vaccine uptake included workers' personal health issues; not having the right information to make an informed decision; logistical and contextual issues that made it challenging to get vaccinated; the disconnect between faith and science; individual choice being highly valued; and uncertainty and misinformation causing fear of the vaccine. Understanding facilitators and barriers to vaccine uptake by meat processing workers is critical to informing public health interventions, evidence-informed guidelines and policies, and tailored messaging to increase vaccination coverage among an essential workforce that inherently assumes occupational risk during infectious disease events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first objective was to examine the influence of social support on work-related outcomes among university housekeepers. The secondary objective was to examine the influence of social support on physical and psychological health among housekeepers. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study assessed work-related outcomes and the influence of social support using least square regression models and multinomial logistic regression models. Qualitative data was obtained via one-on-one interviews. Participants (N = 46, 72% female; 87.2% Black) averaged 4.43 ± 0.72 for job satisfaction with stress levels occasionally high for most of the sample (75%). Support was moderate across all three types of support with the highest perceived support in tangible support (2.85 ± 0.52). Four major themes emerged from the interviews, including lack of support and trust from supervisors and administrators; lack of respect from other members of the university community; need for positive recognition; and impact of the job on health. Findings revealed that when housekeepers feel they belong and are appreciated at work, they feel more positive about their jobs and likely do better work. Housekeepers and their work are critical to students, faculty, and staff in the university system.

The study explored community actions and initiatives addressing vaccine hesitancy among Somali immigrant communities in cities in the Upper Midwest, USA, and Western Norway, focusing on trust factors and comparing members of the Somali diaspora in two distinct social and cultural contexts. Qualitative collective case studies were conducted, involving 14 semi-structured interviews with key informants from the Upper Midwest and Western Norway knowledgeable about initiatives designed to address SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy. Data were coded in NVivo 12 and analyzed thematically, guided by the Bergen Model of Collaborative Functioning and the Socioecological Model to identify basic and organizational themes. The findings illustrate critical sociopolitical influences on vaccine hesitancy, like racial tensions following George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis and mistrust toward the government in Norway. Effective strategies in the Upper Midwest included maintaining long-term community relationships and culturally tailored outreach and communication to reduce hesitancy. Conversely, Western Norway's less community-centric approach, focusing on translation services without deeper engagement, faced challenges in trust-building. The study highlights the essential role of culturally affirming and community-centric approaches in addressing health challenges in immigrant communities. Trust, fostered through community involvement and understanding sociopolitical contexts, is pivotal in addressing vaccine hesitancy. This research offers insights into designing and implementing effective health promotion strategies tailored to immigrant populations' unique needs.

Nevertheless, research on period poverty in high-income countries (HICs) is seldom performed. In addition, current literature on the topic tends to generalize HICs and LMICs, thereby ignoring crucial cultural and socioeconomic distinctions that necessitate a more detailed comparison of individual countries facing period poverty. This case examines the current body of research on period poverty in the United States and India, and compares the causes, effects, and approaches toward ameliorating this phenomenon. Through performing a scoping review of the current literature on period poverty, this case illustrates that-as opposed to the breadth of research available on period poverty in LMICs-research on period poverty in HICs is underrepresented. In addition, the findings demonstrate a stunning parallel between the contributing factors of period poverty in India and the United States, suggesting that the current approach to isolate conversations on the topic based on regional economic incongruencies is inappropriate.
