Why Paying for Nutrition Saves Money on Health Care
The foods we eat play a central role in our health. The epidemics of our time—obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes—are intimately tied to unhealthy patterns of eating. But eating healthy is also expensive, making it particularly challenging for the 12% of US households who have to worry whether they can afford enough food each month. For the 41 million Americans living in these households, a common coping strategy is to purchase cheaper, less healthy foods in an effort to make their food budgets last longer. Over time, however, these unhealthy dietary patterns can have a significant impact on a person’...

Lessons learned from addressing myths about Zika and yellow fever outbreaks in Brazil
(Dartmouth College) When disease epidemics and outbreaks occur, conspiracy theories often emerge that compete with the information provided by public health officials. A Dartmouth-led study in Science Advances finds that information used to counter myths about Zika in Brazil not only failed to reduce misperceptions but also reduced the accuracy of people's other beliefs about the disease.

Functional disorders after COVID-19 vaccine fuel vaccination hesitancy
Due to the dramatic spread of COVID-19, public health measures and a campaign of widespread distribution of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are among the most important priorities for many governments worldwide. Attitudes of people towards vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 can be basically split into three major categories. A first category includes people (60%–80% of the population) who are convinced that the benefits of vaccination outweigh its risks. A second category of people include irreducible anti-vaxxers, who have not changed their opinion even during the COVID-19 pandemic. A third group of people understand the ad...

Abstract IA43: Overview on obesity and cancer in diverse populations
Obesity is a serious and costly public health problem. In 2009-2010, more than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) and 17% of youth were reported to be obese. The epidemiological data suggest that obesity is markedly different among multiple racial and ethnic populations. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports, Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest age-adjusted rates of obesity (47.8%) followed by Hispanics (42.5%), non-Hispanic whites (32.6%), and non-Hispanic Asians (10.8%). Higher prevalence of adult obesity was found in the Midwest (29.5%) and the South (29.4%). Lower preval...

Stigma and Conspiracy Beliefs Related to Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Interest in Using PrEP Among Black and White Men and Transgender Women Who Have Sex with Men
AbstractThe HIV/AIDS epidemic in the US continues to persist, in particular, among race, sexual orientation, and gender minority populations. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), or using antiretroviral medications for HIV prevention, is an effective option, but uptake of PrEP has been slow. Sociocultural barriers to using PrEP have been largely underemphasized, yet have the potential to stall uptake and, therefore, warrant further understanding. In order to assess the relationships between potential barriers to PrEP (i.e., PrEP stigma and conspiracy beliefs), and interest in PrEP, Black men and transgender women who have sex ...
