Characterizing Smoking-Related Litter In Public Parks In Philadelphia, Russell K. Mcintire, Phd, Mph, Ashley Lipshaw, Mph
College of Population Health Posters
Background
- Cigarettes are the most littered item in the country.
- Since 1980 cigarette butts have represented 30-40% of all litter collected from coastal waterways and urban areas among major surveys in the U.S.
- Communities have established smoke free public spaces, including parks, in part to mitigate this source of litter and pollution.
- In 2014, Philadelphia prohibited smoking on all lands and facilities under the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation
- However, not all parks in Philadelphia have the same environment to deter smoking, as “Smoke-Free” signs are not posted in all parks

Background:
In the U.S. Hispanic population overall, heart disease is the leading cause of death. The prevalence of hypertension among Mexican American immigrants is lower than the general population, yet it is on the rise. Health risks among Hispanics vary depending on their length of stay in the US (as proxy measure of acculturation). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between acculturation and the individual's likelihood of being diagnosed with hypertension among Hispanic Americans.
Methods:
We used data from the 2014 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) and performed univariate analysis to examine racial differences in prevalence …

• Climate change will produce intense weather events like increased precipitation and flooding
• Based on climate projections, Philadelphia will be hotter and wetter, and will experience more frequent and intense weather events (OOS, 2016)
•Floods are the second most common hazards in our city (OEM, 2017)
• Vulnerable population such as children, people of color, elderly population and people with disability are severely impacted by climate change

BACKGROUND: With the continuous rise in costs for oncology drugs, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) have developed value-based frameworks (VBFs) to assist stakeholders in formulary and treatment decisionmaking. While emerging VBFs have the potential to significantly impact therapeutic options for patients, it is important to understand the differences associated with those VBFs within a therapeutic area. OBJECTIVE: To compare ICER, ASCO, and NCCN VBFs across three therapeutic options for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
METHODS: The values of carfilzomib (CFZ), elotuzumab (ELO), …
Use Of Propensity Score Matching To Identify A Strong Association Between Health Care Provider Advice Not To Smoke And Quit Attempts Among Mid-Adolescent Smokers, Russell K. Mcintire, Phd, Mph
Use Of Propensity Score Matching To Identify A Strong Association Between Health Care Provider Advice Not To Smoke And Quit Attempts Among Mid-Adolescent Smokers, Russell K. Mcintire, Phd, Mph

Background:
- Nearly 1 out of 7 U.S. adolescents is a current cigarette smoker by the time they leave high school. 1
- Although almost one third of adolescents who saw a healthcare provider in the past month were advised to quit or avoid tobacco,2 research on the influence of provider advice on quit attempts among adolescent smokers has shown mixed results. 3
- These results may be due to selection bias—adolescent smokers who get advice may be different from those who do not on a range of factors including age of initiation, smoking frequency, attitudes toward smoking, exposure to other anti-tobacco …

BACKGROUND
The US is currently experiencing an epidemic; millions of American adolescents are affected by sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), teen pregnancy and intimate partner violence (IPV), costing the country both socially and economically:
- Adolescents 15-24 years of age account for 50% of the 20 million new STD cases each year
- US birth rates are significantly higher than countries in Europe
- 6.8 times higher than teens living in the UK
- 13.9 times higher than teens living the EU
- In 2010 18.7% of adolescents ages 11-17 experienced IPV for the first time

Purchase Of Loose Cigarettes By Adult Smokers In Philadelphia: Individual-Level Correlates And Neighborhood Characteristics, Russell K. Mcintire, Phd, Mph
College of Population Health Posters
Background
• Philadelphia has the highest adult smoking rate1 and the highest rate of tobacco retailers2 among the 10 largest U.S. cities.
• Governmental reports have identified high rates of illegal sale of cigarettes in Philadelphia2.
• Studies have found that a main source of cigarette use in low income communities is single (loose) cigarettes purchased at tobacco retailers or from unregulated street vendors3,4.
• While studies have shown that loose cigarette use is a problem among urban youth who reside in disadvantaged neighborhoods, less research has been performed among adults on this topic5,6, and no studies focus on Philadelphia. …
