Applied Research Briefs: Medical Self-Care Comparison of Sun Protection Behaviors Among Physicians and Patients Sun protection behaviors were compared between 100 patients and 85 physicians in a university-based clinic and hospital. Physicians were more likely to use sunscreen, but patients were more likely to wear long sleeve shirts and stay in the shade to avoid the sun. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency or number of sun protection behaviors utilized. |

Smoking Control Examination of the Temporal Relationship Between Smoking and Major Depressive Disorder Among Low-income Women in Public Primary Care Clinics The relationship between Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and smoking status and initiation was examined through personal interviews which followed the Diagnostic Interview Schedule protocols for the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV, among 338 low-income women in two public primary care clinics. The prevalence of MDD was significantly higher in current smokers (56.6%) than former smokers (37.5%) and never smokers (30.3%). Most ever-smokers (81.3%) began smoking and were nicotine dependent (63.6%) prior to their first episode of MDD. The odds of having a MDD decreased 8.2% for each year smoking initiation was delayed. |

Social Health: Methods, Issues, and Results in Evaluation and Research Using Ethnography to Improve Intervention Design A series of open-ended interviews was conducted with 29 families in a small, low-income town in Colorado to examine the factors that impact people's decisions about physical activity and diet to help develop interventions to motivate them to make lifestyle changes. Social, structural, and cultural barriers, and a range of factors that could facilitate behavior change were discovered. |

Applied Research Briefs: Behavior Change; Weight Control Weight-Related Sports Involvement in Girls: Who Is At Risk for Disordered Eating? A 225-item questionnaire was completed by 5163 female 7th, 9th and 11th grade public school students in their classrooms to examine factors associated with eating disorders among girls involved in weight-related sports. Eating disorder symptoms were found in almost one third of girls involved in weight-related and non–weight-related sports. However, after controlling for grade, race, SES, and study design effect, girls in weight-related sports were 51% more likely to have eating disorder symptoms. Also, among girls in weight-related sports who had eating disorders, substance abuse, physical and sexual abuse history, depressive symptoms, suicide attempts, low family communication, and low parental caring were 98% to 377% more common. |
