Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand adolescents' perceptions and beliefs about cannabis consumption, focusing on factors that encourage or discourage its use.
- A systematic literature review identified 22 relevant qualitative studies published from 2000 to 2024, which assessed the views of adolescents aged 10 to 19.
- Findings revealed that adolescents commonly associated cannabis use with social and emotional well-being, perceived fewer adverse effects than with other drugs, and highlighted peer influence as a significant factor in consumption decisions.
Background: Several studies have estimated the impact of second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure on mortality in the population of different countries. This study aimed to identify and describe studies that have estimated the attributable mortality (AM) associated with SHS exposure in the adult population.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases up to January 2023.
Objective: To carry out a systematic review of systematic reviews with an update of the existing evidence relating to a broad range of smoking cessation interventions, including psycho-social, digital and pharmacologic interventions, for pregnant women.
Data-sources: Search was conducted in March 2022 in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane in two stages: 1) a search of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, published from January 2012 through January 2022; 2) an update of those that fulfilled eligibility criteria reproducing the primary search strategy.
Study Eligibility Criteria: We selected randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effectiveness of pharmacological, digital, and psychosocial interventions in aged 18 years and over who were daily smokers, and compared these with routine care, less intense interventions or placebo.
Introduction: Occupational exposure role on small cell lung cancer (SCLC) onset has been little studied. Wood dust has been recognized as a human carcinogen, and many occupations have high wood-dust exposure. The aim of this study was therefore to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the scientific literature to summarize and analyse the risks of wood dust-related occupations on development of SCLC, taking tobacco use into account.
