Assessment of Trends in Cigarette Smoking Cessation After Cancer Diagnosis Among US Adults, 2000 to 2017.

Importance: Continued cigarette smoking after cancer diagnosis has been shown to adversely alter the cancer survivor's health outcomes and quality of life. Although considerable progress has been made in reducing cigarette smoking in the United States over the last decades, trends in cigarette smoking cessation among cancer survivors have not yet been fully investigated.

Objective: To evaluate temporal trends in cigarette smoking cessation and their sociodemographic and behavioral correlates in the US population of adult cancer survivors.

Smoking Behaviors in Survivors of Smoking-Related and Non-Smoking-Related Cancers.

Importance: The population of cancer survivors is rapidly growing in the US. Tobacco smoking is associated with many cancers; however, whether cigarette smoking behaviors among cancer survivors vary according to cancer type-that is, smoking-related cancers (SRCs) vs non-smoking-related cancers (NSRCs)-remains unclear.

Objectives: To examine cigarette smoking prevalence and behaviors (ie, continuing or quitting smoking) among cancer survivors and to compare them between survivors of SRCs and NSRCs.

Health and lifestyle behaviors in colorectal cancer survivors with and without Lynch syndrome.

Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary cancer syndrome, accounts for approximately 3% of colorectal cancers (CRC). Positive health behaviors and surveillance are preventive strategies, but research on whether recommended behavioral guidelines are followed by individuals with LS is limited. Additional health education and promotion could be beneficial to the improved survivorship of CRC survivors.

Development and preliminary validation of a mandarin Chinese language questionnaire measuring betel quid dependency among adults in Taiwan.

The purposes of this study were to develop the Chinese-version betel quid dependence instrument (BQDI) and to test its reliability and validity. An item pool relevant to betel quid dependence was generated. A panel of three experts assessed content validity including content relevance, clarity, and domain coverage.

A qualitative study of attitudes to and perceptions of betel quid consumption and its oral health implications in Taiwan.

Objectives: Betel quid (BQ) chewing is extremely prominent in South and Southeast Asia because it considered by users to be of social, cultural and religious importance. BQ chewing has been recognized as a risk factor for oral premalignant lesions and oral cancer. Because BQ chewing has become a severe health risk in Taiwan, the development of prevention and cessation programmes is essential.
