Purpose: This study sought to identify subgroups of adult cancer survivors with distinct food behavior patterns and to examine group characteristics.
Methods: Data from adult cancer survivors, ages 20-64, in the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to conduct latent class analyses to identify food behavior subgroups, based on five indicator variables. Associations between latent food behavior class membership and key sociodemographic and cancer-related characteristics were examined using adjusted multinomial regression models.
Results: Four unique food behavior classes were identified and named, characterized by the degree to which they purchased and consumed convenience foods: Home Cooks (48.4% of the sample), Non-Cooks/Eats Out (29.8%), Need Convenience (11.3%), and Quick Food at Home (10.5%). Shorter time since diagnosis was associated with higher adjusted relative risk ratios (ARRR) of belonging to the Non-Cooks/Eats Out class (ARRR 12.4, 95% CI 2.3, 68.0) and the Quick Food at Home class (ARRR 18.6, 95% CI 3.5, 98.4). Older age, lower educational attainment, and larger household size were also associated with a higher likelihood of belonging to the Quick Food at Home class.
Conclusion: There are certain patterns of food behaviors among cancer survivors, and these patterns are related to both cancer-related and sociodemographic factors.
Implications For Cancer Survivors: As food purchasing and consumption behaviors are precursors to dietary outcomes, identifying the food behavior profiles of cancer survivors may help providers recognize those who could benefit from dietary interventions or supports and receive the necessary resources that would support patients in improving their diets.

It is unknown if children and youth who live in rural or "less rural" locations who enroll in the provincially funded Generation Health Clinic (British Columbia, Canada), a family-based lifestyle program for weight management, present with different health behaviors at baseline. Thus, we assessed sociodemographic and health behavior (diet, physical activity, and sleep) collected between 2015 and 2019. Data were stratified by age (children: ≤12 years; adolescents: ≥13 years) and geographical location ("less urban" and urban) based on Statistics Canada definitions and then analyzed using independent -tests and chisquare tests.

Recent data on methods used by adults to stop smoking can inform tobacco control policies. Nationally representative Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey (N = 27,651) were used to analyze populations of US adults who self-reported having stopped smoking cigarettes for 6 months or longer in the last year and the methods they used, or who did not stop smoking but tried in the last year (N = 1735). In 2022, an estimated 2.

Background: Despite advances in trauma care, the effects of social determinants of health continue to be a barrier to optimal health outcomes. Health-related social needs (HRSNs), now the basis of a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services national screening program, may contribute to poor health outcomes, inequities, and low-value care, but the impact of HRSNs among injured patients remains poorly understood at the national level.
Methods: Using data from the nationally representative 2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, injured patients were matched with uninjured controls via coarsened exact matching on age and sex.
