Background: Small-scale studies indicate an increase in mental health disorders among prostate cancer survivors compared to the general population, but large population-based data assessing this relationship are scarce. The present study examined the prevalence of lifetime history of prostate cancer in a cross-sectional sample of Canadian men and assessed the contribution of lifetime history of a prostate cancer diagnosis, multimorbidity, and current alcohol and smoking status to the association with current mental health outcomes in this population.Methods: The analytical sample included 25,183 men (aged 45 to 85 years old), who completed a survey as part of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D10), Kessler's Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and self-reported mental health were mental health outcomes. Multiple logistic regression analyses, and controlling for the complexity of the design and covariates, evaluated the association between prostate cancer survivorship, multimorbidity, alcohol and smoking status, and current mental health outcomes.Results: The prevalence of lifetime history of prostate cancer diagnosis in this population-based sample of men was 4% (95% CI: 3.7, 4.4). Our results indicate statistically significantly higher odds of current psychological distress (aOR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.11) and screening positive for depression (aOR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.51) among survivors of prostate cancer, compared to men without a history of prostate cancer diagnosis in demographics controlled analyses. After addition of multimorbidity and substance use, the odds of screening positive for depression among survivors of prostate cancer are 1.32 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.64) higher compared to men who never had a history of prostate cancer diagnosis.Interpretation: Patient education and empowerment programs aimed at addressing concerns during the diagnosis and treatment and enhancing survivorship care plans by adding routine screening for mental distress to help survivors overcome poor mental health during the cancer survivorship journey, are warranted.

AbstractObjectiveWe examined the association between disaster exposure, community support, and mental health outcomes in urban and nonurban participants of Galveston and Chambers counties after Hurricane Ike. The moderating effect of community support was evaluated as a protective factor relative to postdisaster mental health.MethodsA representative population-based sample of 157 urban and 714 nonurban adults were interviewed 12 to 17 months after the hurricane about their mental health functioning, disaster exposure, and perceptions of community support.ResultsA series of multiple regressions demonstrated that disaster exposure was associated with mental health outcomes for both groups. The strength of the association varied across population samples.Community support moderated the association between interpersonal effects of the disaster and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression outcomes in nonurban participants and the association between property damage and PTSD in urban participants.ConclusionsCommunity support played a larger role in reducing PTSD and depression symptoms associated with the interpersonal effects of a disaster in the nonurban sample only. Communities may play a more beneficial role in the recovery process in nonurban areas that have elevated levels of injury or death attributed to a disaster.

The Impact

Abstract Background In Germany, the term ‘migration background’ has been established to differentiate between immigrants and natives. In the present study post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression were analysed in immigrant populations in Germany by considering self-attribution as well as attribution by others on one’s own ‘migration background’. Methods In a population-based survey (N = 2317), socio-demographic characteristics, migration background (official statistics definition vs. self-attribution as well as the anticipated attribution by others), PTSD (PCL-5), and symptoms of anxiety and depression (PHQ-4) were assessed. Logistic regression models were applied to predict mental health outcomes by considering socio-demographic and immigration-related factors. Results A total of 10.7% of respondents (N = 248) had a ‘migration background’. Immigrants of the 2nd generation compared to 1st generation immigrants are less likely to see themselves as immigrants. Attribution as an immigrant (self and/or by others) was found as significant predictor for PTSD and depression, but not anxiety. Conclusions It seems useful to focus on immigration-related factors considering subjective perspectives and not only comparing immigrants and natives using a federal statistics definition. Our findings suggest that research on the association between immigration-related factors such as attribution as an immigrant and mental health outcomes might be a promising approach to better identify subgroups at higher risk of mental distress.

14524 Background: The anticancer activity of oral anticoagulants has been a matter of debate for several years. Recent evidence suggests that prolonged treatment with warfarin may be associated with a reduced incidence of newly diagnosed urogenital cancer during long-term follow-up of patients with venous thromboembolism. The aim of this study was to assess whether exposure to warfarin was associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer in a large population-based cohort. Methods: We conducted a matched case-control study nested within the population of beneficiaries of the Saskatchewan Prescription Drug Plan aged 50 years and older from 1981–2002 with no history of cancer since 1967. New cases of prostate cancer diagnosed between 1981 and 2002 were identified using the linked Saskatchewan Cancer Agency registry. Six controls per case matched on age, gender, and sampling time were randomly selected. The cumulative exposure to warfarin in the five years preceding the cancer diagnosis was assessed. Prescription counts were used to define warfarin exposure. Exposure in the year immediately preceding the cancer diagnosis was excluded to control for detection bias. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to assess confounding by other drugs such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Results: Among 11502 cases and 69012 controls, 7.4% of cases and 7.1% of controls had a history of any warfarin use. Compared to men who had never used warfarin, adjusted odds ratio (OR) for prostate cancer among ever-users in the 5 year period was 0.94 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.86–1.03). In those who accumulated 1, 2, 3 and 4 years of warfarin use, the adjusted ORs were 1.01 (95% CI, 0.89–1.16), 1.00 (95% CI, 0.82–1.23), 0.81 (95% CI, 0.60–1.09), and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.65–0.99), respectively (p-trend=0.03). Conclusion: Our results suggest that cumulative use of warfarin of at least 4 years may be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. However, confounding by other determinants of prostate cancer associated with warfarin use is possible. Nonetheless, confirmation of these findings by prospective studies may provide the evidence necessary to consider the use of warfarin in prostate cancer prevention.
