This paper explores the incidence and individual determinants of smoking and alcohol drinking with a high prevalence among young people in Moldova. It goes beyond epidemiological approach and descriptive analysis and provides a sociological explanation for these risk-taking behaviours by linking them to local social context in which young people inhabit. The study is based on secondary data analysis of National Youth Survey of Moldova among 14-29 aged population (1112 respondents) carried out in 2016, commissioned by the EU-OECD Youth nclusion project and Ministry of Education, Culture and Research of the Republic of Moldova. Data were processed in SPSS. Multivariate analysis, adjusting for demographic co-variates was performed using logistic regression. The results of this study show that rates of male smoking and alcohol drinking are high, while rates in women are far lower. According to multivariate data analysis, gender and age are strong individual determinants for both health-risk practices. As well, another important predictor for these behaviors is young people’s educational level – those with lower education level were particularly likely to smoke and drink alcohol. The study revealed also a strong interrelation between these health-risk practices. In paper is argued that high prevalence of smoking and drinking in male may reflect a normative structure for male socializing. Taking into consideration that strongest predictor variable overall is male gender, and strong relationship between heavy drinking and smoking, these behavioral factors might be responsible for the increasing in premature deaths among males in middle ag

Objectives The purpose of the present study was to examine associations between life stress and incarceration history in relation to sexual health risk practices among a sample of cisgender Black gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Deep South. Methods: Using data from a sample of 355 cisgender Black MSM in Mississippi and Georgia, multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine associations between life stress and sexual risk practices. In addition, we assessed whether stress may interact with experiences of incarceration to influence sexual health risk practices. Results: After controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, stress was associated with some sexual risk practices (e.g. alcohol and drug use during sex and group sex). Further, when an interaction with incarceration was assessed, among participants who had been incarcerated, high compared with low levels of stress were associated with alcohol use during sex (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 4.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.11–9.99, P < 0.001), drug use during sex (aOR 3.92, 95% CI 1.79–8.60, P < 0.001), condomless sex with casual partners (aOR 2.83, 95% CI 1.31–6.12, P < 0.001), having six or more casual partners (aOR 2.77, 95% CI 1.09–7.06, P = 0.02) and participating in group sex (aOR 5.67, 95% CI 2.07–15.51, P < 0.001). Stress and incarceration produced a dose–response effect for each association; similar associations with stress were not observed among men who had not been incarcerated. Conclusions: Among people with experiences of incarceration, there are several possible ways our findings could be applied practically, including through safer sex and stress management interventions designed specifically for Black MSM following their release.

Abstract Introduction Previous studies have suggested that Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders show different associations between sleep and health risks, compared to other groups. The present study evaluated sleep and health risk factors in a nationally-representative sample. Methods Data from the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey (NHPI-NHIS), collected by the CDC in 2013, was used for analysis. A total of N=2,124 individuals provided complete data on all variables. Sleep outcomes included hours of sleep (3-12h), days/week difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, and nonrestorative sleep (ordinal). Weighted regression analyses (linear or ordinal logistic) evaluated whether sleep outcomes were associated with cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, obesity, poor health, depression, anxiety, smoking, alcohol, activity, functional limitations, foregoing medical care due to cost, frequent healthcare utilization, health insurance, and difficulty paying medical bills, in models that also included age, sex, immigrant status, multiracial status, education, employment, income, and relationship status. Results Shorter sleep was associated with older age, earning <$20,000, and being divorced/widowed/separated, and longer sleep was associated with being female and less than high school education. Shorter sleep was also associated with fair health and current drinking. Difficulty falling asleep was positively associated with older age, earning <=$44,999, being divorced/widowed/separated, obesity, worse health, depressed mood, anxiety, daily smoking, former and current drinking, functional limitations, foregoing care, frequent care, and difficulty with bills. Difficulty falling asleep was negatively associated with immigrant status and being retired. Difficulty maintaining sleep was associated with older age, being unmarried but partnered, obesity, worse health, depression, anxiety, daily smoking, current or heavy drinking, being inactive, functional limitations, foregoing care, frequent care, and difficulty with medical bills. Nonrestorative sleep was associated with non-immigrant status, employment, being a homemaker, disability, being unmarried, obesity, worse health, depression, anxiety, daily smoking, former, current, or heavy drinking, inactivity, functional limitations, foregoing care, frequent care, and difficulty with medical bills. Conclusion Short sleep was not significantly associated with common health risk factors seen in other groups. Sleep difficulties, though, were related to a constellation of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and cardiometabolic risks. Further research regarding insomnia as a health risk factor in this population is warranted. Support (if any) R01MD011600, R01DA051321

The Impact

The marketing and sale of alcoholic drinks have of late, witnessed an irresistible boom and alcoholic producing firms are enjoying field days. Drinking of alcohol has become a significant part in the social lives of most young people even though the abusive use of alcohol has been known as a key problem of young people in many societies. A case study design was employed in the research. This research investigates the impacts of alcohol beverage advertisement on the purchasing behaviour of students at Sunyani Technical University. A probability sampling technique was used to select the 300 respondents to participate in the research. Microsoft Excel was used to import data from the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The analysis from the survey data indicates that most of the male students contributed and 18-35 years age category dominated in the study. The survey data designates that students do not take in alcohol and most drink alcohol during special occasions and few take it heavily. The present study explored the impact of alcohol beverage advertisement as a predictor variable on the purchasing behaviour of students at Sunyani Technical University. This means that alcohol beverage advertisement plays a vital role in students' alcoholic purchasing behaviour. Therefore, alcohol producers and marketers should incorporate these elements in adverts intended to attract their targets. The study, therefore, recommended, Alcohol manufacturers and dealers should integrate these elements in adverts intended to attract their targets, most advertisements must be run on televisions, radio, music video, billboard and movies as it is most effective introducing products to consumers, policymakers and all stakeholders in education and health should also take into consideration when planning to introduce policies to control alcohol consumption.
