subject: 150 Psychologie

description: Purpose of Review
Various nutrients and diet quality have been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of ADHD. The purpose of this review was to examine data from recent cohort studies and dietary interventions to determine whether nutrition may play a role in the management of ADHD.
Recent Findings
Preliminary evidence suggests that minerals might have beneficial effects on ADHD symptomatology. Probiotics might offer novel strategies to prevent or treat ADHD. Inverse associations between adherence to “healthy” diets and ADHD symptoms have been observed. Children with ADHD responding to the few-foods diet (or oligoantigenic diet) with an elimination of individually identified food items show substantially improved behavior and cognitive functioning.
Summary
Evidence from recent research does not allow any recommendations regarding the use of micronutrients or probiotics in the management of ADHD. The few-foods diet may become an additional therapeutic option for children with ADHD.

Retail Access to Tobacco and Youth Smoking Behavior

Year: 2024

description: Reducing youth access to tobacco products from retail stores is an important component of comprehensive programs to control tobacco use by youth. California State laws prohibit the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors under the age of 18 (Penal Code § 308 (a) and the STAKE Act). Since enforcement of these laws is carried out by local enforcement agencies and supplemented by local efforts and funds, illegal tobacco sales to minors may vary from one community to another. Also, there are store and community-level variations in retail prices that may affect economic availability of tobacco products to youth. However, the extent to which communities in California differ from each other regarding illegal tobacco sales to minors and cigarette prices is unknown. Also, little is known about their relationship to smoking by youth and to various community-level characteristics. To address that, the proposed study will answer three important research questions: (1) Determine rates of illegal tobacco sales to minors by retail stores and cigarette prices in 50 California cities. (2) Determine if differences in illegal tobacco sales to minors and cigarette prices are related to community factors. These factors include population density, SES (e.g., median income, percentage in poverty), tobacco outlet density, ethnic composition, community disorganization, and community smoking norms. (3) Determine whether illegal tobacco sales to minors and cigarette prices are associated with differences in youth smoking, smoking-related problems and changes in smoking behaviors over time. The results of this study will inform policymakers regarding at risk areas for illegal cigarette sales to minors and the effectiveness of local ordinances in restricting youth access to tobacco. These findings will thus help policymakers make decisions regarding allocation of scarce prevention resources. In addition, it will set community norms, and directly deter youth smoking.

Paternal Smoking and DNA Methylation in Childhood Leukemia

description: Smoking causes a number of cancers and other health problems. One question that epidemiologists have asked for years is: does parental smoking cause leukemia in their children? The answer to many studies is: “not clear,” since there does appear to be some increased leukemia rate in children in families with smokers, but most studies are too small to reach statistical significance.

 One of the issues is that this increased risk is more often linked to the father smoking rather than the mother. Three new studies have been published in the last year providing more weight of evidence to the link between father’s smoking and childhood leukemia. We have seen this same pattern in our Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study (NCCLS). We believe that we can only prove this link by finding the biological imprint left behind from smoking-related carcinogens on leukemia cells. The discovery of such imprints will confirm the link between parental smoking and childhood leukemia, which will in turn lead to very strong public health messages against smoking in the family home. We present preliminary data in this grant proposal that shows that the pattern of DNA methylation in children who have smoking fathers and mothers in the home is different than leukemias that arise from other mechanisms. This same phenomenon has been found in lung and head and neck cancers, in which early teen smoking seems to result in a DNA methylation imprint that impacts the risk and the biology of the cancers that develop decades later. The biological “imprint” from parental smoking is likely to happen very early, as paternal smoking before conception is strongly related to the methylation pattern and may be established during sperm development. We are able to assess DNA methylation in thousands of locations within the human genome at the same time, and we plan to sort the significant DNA methylation events from the bystanders by doing additional tests with different technologies and study subjects, focusing on paternal smoking’s effects on methylation within the human genome. Our leukemias come from our NCCLS, which is one of the largest population-based epidemiology studies in the world, with a superb set of biological materials such as diagnostic DNA, normal DNA from cheek cells, and Guthrie cards available for study. This study includes about 42% Hispanics, 42% Whites, and the remainder African and Asian Americans, so we are capturing the diversity of the California population. Our ultimate goal is to establish a firm link between parental smoking and childhood leukemia that bridges the two with a mechanistic framework. We will then be able to bring this message out firmly to young adults who are considering a family, certainly an important message for this target population.

Determinants of Tobacco Use Among Young Adult South Asians

description: South Asians (SA), individuals from Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, represent the third most populous Asian group in the U.S. While high rates of tobacco use, both cigarette smoking and smokeless forms of tobacco have been documented in certain South Asian countries, we know relatively little about the rate of tobacco use or choice of tobacco products among these SA populations in the U.S. Moreover, our knowledge of the factors that influence tobacco use among SAs in this country is extremely limited. Across all racial/ethnic groups in the U.S., young adults have among the highest rates of tobacco use. Yet, to date, they remain largely understudied and, as a result, present unique challenges to the development of effective methods to quit tobacco use. To our knowledge, scientifically-based programs developed specifically to help young adult SA populations quit tobacco use do not exist. Over the two years of this proposed project, we will establish a community-university collaboration to study tobacco use among 176 Bangladeshi, Indian, Nepali, and Pakistani current and former tobacco users between 18 and 29 years of age. Utilizing in-depth interviews, focus groups, surveys, and real time data collection using PDAs, we will identify the cultural, social, environmental, and intrapersonal factors that impact smoking and quitting behaviors among our SA participants. We will disseminate our findings to SA communities through community meetings, webinars and other web-based distribution methods and to external audiences through scientific meetings and publications. Ultimately, our study results will inform the development of future cessation strategies uniquely suited to young adult SAs in the U.S. The proposed pilot is directly relevant to TRDRP’s research mission in that it addresses one of TRDRP’s primary areas of research, namely, “Prevention and Cessation of Tobacco Use and Tobacco-Related Health Disparities among California’s Diverse Populations."

description: The United States, Russia, and China are developing a new generation of hypersonic weapons. The systems under development include both cruise missiles and glide vehicles that are launched by ballistic missiles. This issue brief focuses on hypersonic boost-glide vehicles (BGVs). Although alarmism is misplaced, BGVs could create new pathways for inadvertent escalation and present additional challenges for arms control. One of the key findings is, that indeed much of the alarm around BGVs is unwarranted. The deployment of BGVs should not negatively affect the survivability of nuclear forces. However, BGVs increase inadvertent escalation risks due to their target ambiguity during flight and by limiting the dual confirmation of a detected launch through radar and heat signatures. Therefore, one key recommendation is that risk-reduction measures should aim at decreasing declaratory ambiguity and diffusing worst-case assumptions.

description: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition in which an overwhelming traumatic event causes intense fear, helplessness, or horror and results in intrusive memories and/or nightmares related to the trauma, avoidance of people, places and situations associated with the trauma, and increased watchfulness and irritability from pre to post trauma. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) emphasizes the effects of disease on physical, social, emotional, and cognitive functioning. Cigarette smoking is associated with both PTSD and HRQoL, and both PTSD and smoking cause poor health outcomes. The relationship between tobacco dependence and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), specifically in a PTSD population, has been under-explored. Although several studies have examined the relationship of HRQoL in a chronic tobacco dependent OR a chronic PTSD population, a lack of studies look at the impact of quitting smoking on HRQoL in PTSD patients who smoke. Studies examining changes in HRQoL over time and the effects of quitting smoking in the chronic tobacco dependent, PTSD population are also lacking. It is important to understand the effect of having both conditions on HRQoL because it may impact a provider’s ability to treat tobacco dependence in a PTSD population. If tobacco dependent individuals with PTSD are quitting smoking, but not experiencing improvements in HRQoL, the potential for relapse may be increased and the risk of death may remain unchanged due to continued PTSD and depression symptoms. This study aims to better inform treatments for the tobacco dependent, PTSD population.

Content: Two subspecies restricted to central-southern and southern Chile. In a recent study, PincheiraDonoso & Núñez (2005) recognized these two taxa as geographical populations of Liolaemus chillanensis, providing full species category to L. monticola. In the same work, Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez (2005) suggested that L. chillanensis chillanensis and L. chillanensis villaricensis might be a single taxon (L. chillanensis) with no clear limits to be considered formal subspecies. Both populations not only exhibit substantial overlap of phenotypic traits, but also appear to have continuous geographical ranges. Therefore, their status need to be studied in more detail in order to determine their, if any, phylogenetic boundaries (see also Pincheira-Donoso 2003b).

description: Currently the prevalence of tobacco use among adolescents in California is increasing. In order to reverse these trends, a comprehensive approach to tobacco control among adolescents is needed. School-based substance use prevention and cessation programming is a central part of this approach. There is now substantial evidence demonstrating long term positive effects of school-based prevention programs in reducing adolescent tobacco use. Despite the fact that both state and federal funding agencies mandate that school districts choose programs with proven effectiveness, many school districts still fail to implement evidence-based programs. The present study is designed to examine factors that influence adoption (intentions to use) and initial use of evidence-based tobacco use prevention and cessation programs in schools. We propose to conduct a cross-sectional survey of 274 school district administrators from school districts throughout California. We will define program adoption as the submission of an application to the California Department of Education for competitive Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE) grant funds. Our sample will include two categories of districts: (a) those that have applied for a competitive TUPE grant and (b) districts that have not applied. We will match these two groups of districts on key demographic variables, in order to reduce bias and therefore increase precision in our estimates. The purposes of the study are: 1) examine contextual factors that influence California school districts’ awareness of, beliefs about, adoption, and actual use of evidence-based tobacco prevention and cessation programs, including: (a) community factors (e.g., politics, drug use prevalence and socioeconomic characteristics); and (b) organizational factors (e.g., organizational structure, organizational climate, staff turnover and program champion); and 2) examine the relationship between adoption and actual use of evidence-based tobacco use prevention and cessation programs, and the extent to which the relationship is moderated by levels of funding (e.g., state competitive TUPE grant award and SDFS funding). The results of the proposed study could be useful in developing strategies for increasing school districts’ use of school-based tobacco use prevention and cessation programming. Given the rise in smoking among California youth, it is essential for us to understand the factors that optimize the adoption, utilization, reach and impact of evidence-based tobacco use prevention and cessation programs among California schools.
