Butler County, Ohio, has the third highest opioid-related death rate in the state. Information on overdose deaths, collected by the county coroner, can serve as a data source for analysis of this public health concern. Given this access, stakeholders can investigate trends in their community for their idiosyncratic interest.Methods: A web application was developed, using the R Shiny package, to visualize and explore the characteris-tics of all overdose deaths in Butler County between 2013 and 2018. Demographics of the decedents, drugs found in the decedents’ postmortem toxicology analyses, annual trends in overdose deaths, and the location of these cases can be examined.Results: The web application provides a graphical user interface that allows a user to request specific analyses and summaries. “Who is dying from opioid overdoses?,” “What drugs, including opioids, are found in people dying from drug overdoses?,” and “Has the number of opioid involved deaths increased in a specific community over time?” are examples of questions that can be explored using this application.Conclusion: This application empowers both the public and local policymakers to investigate the impact of overdose deaths on their communities. Understanding characteristics of the epidemic is an important first step to addressing this problem. The expansion of this application to include other counties in Ohio could be truly beneficial to communities that need it.","PeriodicalId":74337,"journal":{"name":"Ohio journal of public health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46392207","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}

Inadvertent exposures to liquid nicotine products have caused systemic poisoning injuries. We sought to characterize e-cigarette injuries presenting to emergency departments (ED) in 2018.Methods: We analyzed one year of data from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Patients presenting with injuries associated with e-cigarette products were manually identified for inclusion. We performed descriptive analyses on demographic factors, affected bodily regions, dispositions, locations of occurrence, and mechanisms of injury. By applying sample weights, nationally representative estimates were calculated.Results: A total of 361 667 injury cases were reported in NEISS (2018). We identified 50 e-cigarette injury cases, generating a national estimate of 1739 (95% CI [1333-2148]) patients presenting to US EDs with e-cigarette injuries in 2018. Approximately 1000 pediatric patients (age ≤17 years) and 700 adult patients (age ≥18 years) were included. The median age when presenting to the ED was 4 years (interquartile range [IQR], 1-25). Over 85% of injuries occurred at home. Ingestion (55.0%) was the most common mechanism of injury, followed by explosion (35.8%).Conclusion: Children and adults are susceptible to injury from e-cigarette products. Changes in manufacturing standards may prevent injuries from these products.","PeriodicalId":74337,"journal":{"name":"Ohio journal of public health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49370660","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}

However, their association with lung function is not completely understood.Methods: Cross-sectional 2011-2012 US population data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed (n = 1450, aged 12 to 79 years, 50.5% females). Serum concentrations of 4 PFASs, perfluoronon-anoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), were assessed using mass spectrometry and categorized into quartiles. Lung function was measured by spirome-try as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and the ratio of FEV1/FVC (%). Survey weighted sex stratified adjusted linear regression analysis was used to predict lung function with PFASs quartiles.Results: In males, compared to females, all 4 PFASs serum concentrations and lung function indices were higher, except FEV1/FVC (%) which was lower than females. No association of any PFAS with decrease in lung function was seen in multivariable-adjusted models in both males and females.Conclusion: In this exploratory analysis, PFAS exposure was not associated with lung function. PFAS contamina-tion has been ongoing for many years across the US and Ohio, and cleanup efforts are now underway. The association between PFAS exposure and lung function needs further exploration in longitudinal studies.","PeriodicalId":74337,"journal":{"name":"Ohio journal of public health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48644544","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}

Appalachian versus metropolitan residence, socioeconomic status, and health behaviors contribute to poor dental health. Limited research has directly compared dental health and risk factors for poor dental health among Appalachian and metropolitan youth. We examined the association between dental health and residence among adolescent boys and explored socioeconomic and behavioral factors that may contribute to differences in dental health.Methods: Adolescent males from metropolitan and rural Appalachian Ohio (n = 1220, age 11-16 years) reported their diet and tobacco use. Parents or guardians reported when boys had last visited the dentist and rated their dental health (excellent/very good/good versus fair/poor). Unadjusted logistic regression modeled the association between fair/poor dental health and residence (metropolitan versus Appalachian). Adjusted analyses controlled for race, household income, dental visits, diet, and tobacco use.Results: Appalachian (versus metropolitan) boys were more likely to have used tobacco in the past 30 days and consumed fewer fruit and vegetables, more added sugar, and more sugary beverages. The relation between dental health and Appalachian versus metropolitan residence did not reach statistical significance, and adjusting for behavioral factors did little to change the observed association.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that some of the urban/rural disparities in dental health observed in other studies may be related to behavioral factors like tobacco use and diet, but much remains unexplained. We provide support for behavioral interventions to address these issues in the Appalachian community.","PeriodicalId":74337,"journal":{"name":"Ohio journal of public health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8654033/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39573067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our longitudinal study examined HPV vaccine coverage among adolescent males in Ohio and identified predictors of vaccination.Methods: The Buckeye Teen Health Study recruited adolescent males ages 11-16 and their parents from one urban county and nine rural counties in Ohio. We report longitudinal vaccination data on 1126 adolescent males, with baseline data from 2015-2016 and follow-up data from 2017-2018. We used multivariable Poisson regression to identify predictors of HPV vaccine initiation that occurred between baseline and follow-up.Results: At baseline, 42.4% of parents reported their sons had initiated the HPV vaccine series. Among parents whose sons were unvaccinated at baseline, 36.3% indicated initiation at follow-up. Initiation at follow-up was more common among sons who had received influenza vaccine (RR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.08-2.18) or whose parents indicated lack of a recent visit to a doctor as the main reason for not yet vaccinating at baseline (RR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.02-1.95). Initiation was less common among sons whose parents had an associate's degree or some college education (RR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.46-0.99). Main reasons for not vaccinating changed from baseline to follow-up among parents of unvaccinated sons.Conclusions: Although HPV vaccine initiation increased over time, many adolescent males in Ohio remain unvaccinated. Findings can help guide future strategies for increasing HPV vaccine coverage among this population.","PeriodicalId":74337,"journal":{"name":"Ohio journal of public health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9491334/pdf/nihms-1761994.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33488703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Self-Medication Hypothesis and work examining adverse childhood experiences posit that drug use may be understood as a coping strategy to address emotional distress.Methods: Juvenile drug court participants in a Northwest Ohio county were administered a standardized biopsychosocial assessment. Intake interviews from January 2010 and November 2018 were used to evaluate the relationship between emotional distress reported using the Emotional Problem Scale (EPS) and lifetime nonmedical use of prescription opioids. Linear regression was used to examine temporal trends in EPS scores. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between EPS scores and prescription opioid misuse, controlling for temporal trends.Results: Linear regression showed a significant increase in emotional distress over the study period for both pre-scription opioid users and nonusers. Average scores increased 29.5 points (on a 100 point scale) over the duration of the study (P <0.0001). A 10-point increase in EPS score was associated with a nearly 50% increase in the lifetime odds of pre-scription opioid misuse (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.19-1.82, P = 0.0004). The odds of prescription opioid misuse declined each year (OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.48-0.81, P = 0.0006).Conclusion: Rates of prescription opioid misuse have decreased over time despite a significant association be-tween emotional distress and opioid misuse and trend toward increasing EPS scores. While efforts to reduce prescription opioid misuse appear to have been effective in this population, significant work is needed to reduce underlying risk fac-tors.","PeriodicalId":74337,"journal":{"name":"Ohio journal of public health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46382994","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}
