Objective: As numbers of sandwiched caregivers in the United States grow, it is essential to document the literature on the impacts of dual care demands on well-being and health.
Method: Guided by Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework, this scoping review examined the literature on sandwiched caregivers' psychological well-being and physical health, identified gaps in the literature, and provided future directions to advance the family caregiving literature.
Results: Findings showed that there were inconsistencies in the conceptualization of sandwiched caregivers.
Objectives: The current study adds to the literature on vape shops by evaluating vape shop growth in an urban community over a 3-year period, assessing similarities and differences across the vape shop context, and addressing whether socialization spaces within vape shops are associated with a vape shop's ultimate success - remaining operational. As e-cigarette/vaping use enters its second decade in the US market, its regulation and status as a novel form of substance use is evolving; accordingly, it is unknown whether the presence of vape shops has changed as well.
Methods: In this study, we tracked and observed 19 vape shops over a 3-year period in Long Beach, California.
