Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how depressive symptoms and social support affect late and inadequate prenatal care among low-income women at community health centers.
- A significant portion of participants showed elevated depressive symptoms and poor social support, with 37% receiving late care and 29% receiving inadequate care.
- Findings suggest that women with low partner support and elevated depressive symptoms were at the highest risk for late prenatal care, highlighting the need for public health strategies focused on enhancing social support and mental health in prenatal care settings.
Background: The neighborhoods where people live can influence their drinking behavior. We hypothesized that living in a neighborhood with lower median income, higher alcohol outlet density, and only liquor stores and no grocery stores would be associated with higher alcohol consumption after adjusting for individual demographic and lifestyle factors.
Methods: We used two self-report measures to assess alcohol consumption in a sample of 9959 adults living in a large Midwestern county: volume of alcohol consumed (count) and binge drinking (5 or more drinks vs.
Objective: We examined whether race/ethnicity was related to exposure to acute economic losses in the 2008-2009 recession, even accounting for individual-level and geographic variables, and whether it influenced associations between economic losses and drinking patterns and problems.
Method: Data were from the 2010 National Alcohol Survey (N = 5,382). Surveys assessed both severe losses (i.
Purpose: We examined the relationships among fruit and vegetable intake, alcohol consumption, and socioeconomic status (SES). We hypothesized that fruit and vegetable consumption would be inversely associated with alcohol consumption and the relationship would differ by SES.
Design: A cross-sectional analysis.
Purpose: To learn how the local context may affect a city's ability to regulate alcohol products such as high-alcohol-content malt liquor, a beverage associated with heavy drinking and a spectrum of nuisance crimes in urban areas.
Approach: An exploratory, qualitative case study comparing cities that adopted policies to restrict malt liquor sales with cities that considered, but did not adopt policies.
Setting: Nine large U.
