Interventions addressing excessive use of mobile devices have mainly focused on mobile phone use while driving. The aim is to describe the Health Education Across Academic Disciplines (HEAAD) teaching tool and implementation, which may help to educate and raise awareness of the risks associated with excessive cell phone use among adolescents and young adults. Educational Teaching Tool: HEAAD includes introductory activities ranging from identifying risks related to excessive cell phone use to follow-up interactive activities with examples applied across academic disciplines other than health. HEAAD targets students in grades nine through twelve and can be adapted to the college population for freshmen and sophomores enrolled in personal health and wellness classes and/or other health orientation and first year experience classes. Conclusion: HEAAD intends to engage students in practicing decision-making skills related to excessive cell phone use, which may be applicable to their lives. Pilot testing of HEAAD is recommended to determine its effectiveness and potential.","PeriodicalId":87431,"journal":{"name":"Californian journal of health promotion","volume":"21 1","pages":"97-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84418046","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}

This prospective cohort study examined whether youth who participated in a clinic-based, culturally-sensitive pediatric weight management intervention experienced reductions in BMI percentile, percent body fat, and waist circumference, from baseline to the end of the program. Methods: Participants included 240 children and youth (61.3% male) between ages 5 to 18 years (Mean age= 12.8 + 3.7 years), and nearly all of them were of Latino race/ethnicity. All participants were clinically diagnosed as overweight or obese and were referred to participate in the eight-week intervention, which included standard medical consultations, psychological counseling, and physical activity sessions for the youth participants, and nutrition education for their parents. Participants completed baseline and end-of-the-program assessments. Results: Participants experienced significant decreases in BMI percentile and body fat percentage after adjusting for growth in height. Older children were more likely to experience decreases in waist circumference relative to younger children. Conclusion: This study suggests that a clinic-based, culturally sensitive intervention may effectively reduce indicators of obesity among youth in predominantly Latino communities, beyond changes in these indicators due to normal growth.","PeriodicalId":87431,"journal":{"name":"Californian journal of health promotion","volume":"31 1","pages":"74-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79483767","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}

No studies have investigated whether there is statistical justification for subdividing the large, heterogeneous group of people with disabilities into subpopulations, for surveillance. Methods: Pooled data from the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (2004-2010, unweighted n=132,198) included the following disability types: physical, cognitive, visual, hearing loss, and multiple disabilities. We examined differences among the disability subgroups and the no disability group on receipt of flu shot, dental exam, and timely care; insurance status; usual source of care (USOC); mental and physical health; and multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Results: The disability subgroups were sociodemographically heterogeneous and differed from each other and the no disability group on health status (mental, physical, and MCC) and healthcare outcomes (flu shot, dental exam, timely receipt of care, USOC, insurance status). Conclusion: Findings demonstrate that disability subgroups differ in the magnitude of the disparities they experience compared to each other and to people without disabilities. Disability subgroups should be examined separately for public health measures to enable effective tailoring of public health policies and programs to better meet the needs for all people. © 2015 Californian Journal of Health Promotion.

Risk of negative physiological and psychological effects has been linked to energy drinks consumed alone or mixed with alcohol. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between energy drink consumption and other risky behaviors among college students at a large southeastern university in the United States. Method: A convenience sample of 277 college students was recruited during January-February 2012 via e-mail through undergraduate academic courses. Participating students completed an online survey that assessed energy drink consumption (with and without alcohol) and participation in other risky behaviors. Results: Energy drink users participated in risky behaviors more often than non-energy drink users within the past year (p = 0.00). Energy drink use was significantly related to the risky behaviors of tobacco (p = 0.00), marijuana (p = 0.00), amphetamine (p = 0.00), and alcohol (p = 0.02) use, as well as missing class (p = 0.05), performing poorly on a test or important project (p = 0.05), and participating in an extreme sport (p = 0.03). Conclusion: These findings suggest that energy drink consumption is associated with other risky behaviors among college students. The benefits of health promotion efforts related to energy drink consumption may be furthered through co-occurrence with other education and prevention programming on the topics of substance use and abuse.","PeriodicalId":87431,"journal":{"name":"Californian journal of health promotion","volume":"94 1","pages":"38-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80678450","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}

Many users feel that it is safer than other tobacco products, although its health threats are well documented. Little is known about hookah use rates in community colleges that are attended by nearly half of all US college students. This study examined hookah use in a diverse convenience sample of students attending two southern California community colleges.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000In fall 2011, a cross-sectional, in-classroom survey was administered to 1,207 students. A series of fully adjusted multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to explore demographic, other substance use, and attitudinal correlates of lifetime and current hookah use.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Lifetime hookah use (56%) was higher than lifetime cigarette use (49%). Gender and personal socioeconomic status were not related to hookah use. Current use (10.8%) was associated with current use of alcohol, cigars, and cigarettes. Compared to African-Americans, Whites were 2.9 times more likely to be current users, and students who perceive hookah to be more socially acceptable were 21 times more likely to currently use.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Since hookah use rates are high, colleges should offer health education programs to inform incoming students about the health risks of hookah and cessation programs.","PeriodicalId":87431,"journal":{"name":"Californian journal of health promotion","volume":"372 1","pages":"26-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76711838","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}

Cervical cancer affects Latinas disproportionately in the United States, especially in California. Fotonovelas are an entertaining educational medium within the Latino community. Purpose. The California Department of Public Health, Immunization Branch partnered with a fotonovela production company to develop a bilingual fotonovela to motivate Latina mothers of preteens to get their children vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV). This paper reviews the process of and lessons learned from creating and pilot testing the HPV fotonovela. Methods. We convened a 10-member advisory committee to guide the development of the fotonovela and field-tested the medium with three focus groups of Latina mothers of preteens (n=22). The focus group participants completed a pre- and post-survey to assess knowledge gain after reading the fotonovela on their own. After participants completed the post-survey, the moderator facilitated a discussion. Results. The advisory committee identified barriers and myths around HPV vaccination and suggested culturally appropriate messaging for the fotonovela. The pre-/post-survey showed statistically significant knowledge gain on the HPV vaccine among focus group participants. Conclusion. We found that the fotonovela is a well-accepted educational vehicle for Latinas. An intervention/control study to test the effectiveness of a fotonovela and/or webnovela in bringing about measurable behavior change is needed.","PeriodicalId":87431,"journal":{"name":"Californian journal of health promotion","volume":"12 1","pages":"01-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74518477","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}
