Salient Beliefs Associated with Unsanctioned Adult Cannabis Use in an Evolving Socio-Political Environment.

The changing cannabis legal climate in the United States has been associated with increased prevalence of use, more favorable general attitudes, and cultural norms toward its use among young adults. The purpose of this study was to conceptualize salient beliefs governing illicit cannabis use within a state where medical use is legal and adult use remains illegal. Following an initial qualitative pilot, a prospective study (baseline and a 30-day follow-up) that utilized an electronic survey design was conducted.

Paid Sick Leave Benefits and Adherence to Recommended Screening Tests Among Male Labor Workers in the United States.

Objective: We examined the association between availability of paid sick leave and health care utilization and screenings in male labor workers in the United States, and hypothesize that workers with paid sick leave benefits would be more likely to utilize health services.

Methods: Using the 2013 to 2016 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), labor workers (n = 8553), aged 18 to 64 years, were examined. Logistic regression analyses assessed the association between availability of paid sick leave and the use of preventive services.

Effect of calorie or exercise labels on menus on calories and macronutrients ordered and calories from specific foods in Hispanic participants: a randomized study.

Unlabelled: The effect of menu labels on food choices is unknown in Hispanics. This study evaluated the impact of menu labels on calories and macronutrients ordered in Hispanics. 372 Hispanics (18-65 years) were randomly assigned to menus with no labels (NL) (n=127), rank-ordered calorie labels plus a statement on energy needs per meal (CL) (n=123), or rank-ordered exercise labels showing minutes of brisk walking necessary to burn the food calories (EL) (n=122).

Effect of meal composition on postprandial glucagon-like peptide-1, insulin, glucagon, C-peptide, and glucose responses in overweight/obese subjects.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone, is released in response to food intake. It is unclear how meals high in protein (HP) and monounsaturated fat (HMF) affect GLP-1 response.

Purpose: To examine the effect of a HP versus a HMF meal on GLP-1 response.

Methods: Twenty-five participants [68% men; age, 25.
