Policies restricting flavored tobacco may especially benefit these groups and lead to an equitable reduction in tobacco use. This study used Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from Massachusetts and Connecticut (control state) to evaluate changes in cigarette use before and after Massachusetts' flavor restriction policy was implemented. Difference-in-difference (DID) was used to evaluate the overall impact and difference-in-difference-in-difference (DDD) was used to evaluate the impact on AAs and SMs. There were no significant differences in the change in cigarette use for adults overall or for AA adults in Massachusetts compared to Connecticut. Among SMs, Connecticut had a greater decrease in cigarette use compared to Massachusetts. As more data become available, it will be crucial to monitor the longer-term impact of the policy and any differences in policy impact among groups.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data was extracted on recommendations for maternal testing HIV (frequency and timing), syphilis (any test and test type); and HBV. Testing policies on HIV, syphilis, or HBV during pregnancy and/or postpartum from 38 (83%) countries were identified; 18 (47%) had policies updated after 2019. All 38 countries with HIV testing guidelines addressed maternal HIV retesting, 68% had guidelines recommending syphilis testing, and 58% had HBV testing guidelines. Half of countries had guidelines to test for all three infections; policy evaluations to measure implementation and impact are needed.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147619175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compares the produce consumption behaviors among repeat and first-time participants of free food distributions at community-based sites. We administered a survey to 4,469 low-income participants at these sites during 2021-2023. The sample comprises recruits from 53 charitable feeding system sites (food pantries) and non-traditional sites (early childhood centers, schools, and clinics). We examined differences in consumption behaviors among participants from non-traditional and traditional sites using multivariable logistic regression models. We tested whether repeat participants consumed more fruits and vegetables than first-time participants. Receipt of produce more than once at non-traditional sites was positively associated with meeting national recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption. Enrollment in federal food assistance programs showed similar associations. Distributing healthy food through non-traditional access points appeared to be a promising practice.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147516169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While empirical studies continue to document the psychological and physical consequences of this act, legal responses in the U.S. remain limited and inconsistent. This study applies a legal epidemiology framework to examine the statutory landscape of civil remedies for stealthing across four U.S. states. Through systematic policy surveillance and coding, the analysis reveals significant variation in terminology, consent standards, scope of prohibited conduct, and survivor protections. While California uniquely uses the term 'stealthing,' other states rely on descriptive language that may obscure public understanding or survivor resonance. Similarly, standards of consent and available remedies vary, with only Washington and Vermont including explicit privacy protections. Findings highlight the need for broader, standardized statutory definitions that align with survivor experiences, support trauma-informed legal processes, and promote equitable access to civil justice. These results underscore the importance of law as a structural determinant of population health and the need to address underrecognized forms of sexual consent violations.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147445871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
