Abstract:

The article examines the last stages of migration to Utah of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormons (1869-1890 and 1890-1911). It is shown that Utah became the center of Mormon migration and colonization, where waves of newly converted Mormons from Western Europe, Canada and the eastern states of the United States rushed. The study made it possible to analyze the ideological rationale for resettlement, the ethnic composition of the settlers, the specifics of the development of the lands of the American West, the peculiarities of the migration of the Saints across the continent - to the territory of Utah, and to characterize its results by the beginning of the ХХШ century.

Abstract:

Abstract Competence in healthcare is a recognized expectation by consumers. In 2018 following an extensive review and consensus-building process, burn nursing practice competencies were published. Clinical nurse leaders were called upon to use these published competencies in practice as a basis for the requisite knowledge and skills needed in the care of the burn-injured individual. In 2019 at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Burn Association, nurses from four U.S. burn centers reported on their center’s incorporation of the competencies within their educational nursing curriculums. This paper provides a forum for each of the lead authors from Rhode Island Hospital Burn Center, the University of Utah Health Burn Trauma Intensive Care Unit, Parkland Regional Burn Center, and the University of Chicago Medicine Burn Center to outline their current utilization of the new burn nurse competencies and plans for future use. Competence in nursing practice is a recognized expectation by the U.S. healthcare consumer. The ability to demonstrate competence is also important to authoritative entities such as The Joint Commission (TJC) and other verifying agencies or societies (e.g., the American Burn Association for burn center verification). Without established and recognized standards of nursing care and documented educational preparation for staff, burn centers cannot ensure consistent and competent care.

Abstract:

Abstract The topography in and around the Intermountain West strongly affects the genesis, migration, and lysis of extratropical cyclones. Here intermountain (i.e., Nevada or Great Basin) cyclone (IC) activity and evolution are examined using the ECMWF Re-Analysis Interim (ERA-Interim) the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR), and the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis from 1989 to 2008, the period during which all three are available. The ICs are defined and tracked objectively as 850-hPa geopotential height depressions of ≥40 m that persist for ≥12 h. The monthly distribution of IC center and genesis frequency in all three reanalyses is bimodal with spring (absolute) and fall (secondary) maxima. Although the results are sensitive to differences in resolution, topographic representation, and reanalysis methodology, both the ERA-Interim and NARR produce frequent IC centers and genesis in the Great Basin cyclone region, which extends from the southern “high” Sierra to northwest Utah, and the Canyonlands cyclone region, which lies over the upper Colorado River basin of southeast Utah. The NCEP–NCAR reanalysis fails to resolve these two distinct cyclone regions and produces less frequent IC centers and genesis than the ERA-Interim and NARR. An ERA-Interim-based composite of strong ICs generated in cross-Sierra (210°–300°) 500-hPa flow shows that cyclogenesis is preceded by the development of the Great Basin confluence zone (GBCZ), a regional airstream boundary that extends downstream from the Sierra Nevada across the Intermountain West. Cyclogenesis occurs along the GBCZ as large-scale ascent develops over the Intermountain West in advance of an approaching upper-level trough. Flow splitting around the high Sierra and the presence of low-level baroclinicity along the GBCZ suggest that IC evolution may be better conceptualized from a potential vorticity perspective than from traditional quasigeostrophic models of lee cyclogenesis. Although these results provide new insights into IC activity and evolution, analysis uncertainty and the cyclone identification criteria are important sources of ambiguity that cannot be fully eliminated.

Abstract:

Abstract Upper-level inverted troughs (IVs) associated with midlatitude breaking Rossby waves or tropical upper-troposphere troughs (TUTTs) have been identified as important contributors to the variability of rainfall in the North American monsoon (NAM) region. However, little attention has been given to the dynamics of these systems owing to the sparse observational network over the NAM region. High temporal and spatial observations taken during the 2004 North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) are utilized to analyze a significant IV that passed over northwestern Mexico from 10 to 13 July 2004. The Colorado State University gridded dataset, which is independent of model analysis over land, is the primary data source used in this study. Results show that the 10–13 July IV disturbance was characterized by a warm anomaly around 100 hPa and a cold anomaly that extended from 200 to 700 hPa. The strongest cyclonic circulation was in the upper levels around 200 hPa. Quasigeostrophic (QG) diagnostics indicate that the upper-level low forced weak subsidence (weak rising motion) to the west (east) of its center. Net downward motion to the west was a result of the Laplacian of thermal advection (forcing subsidence) outweighing differential vorticity advection (forcing weak upward motion). Despite the QG forcing of downward motion west of the upper-level IV, enhanced convection occurred west of the IV center along the western slopes of the Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO). This seemingly contradictory behavior can be explained by noting that the upper-level IV induced a midlevel cyclonic circulation, with northeasterly (southeasterly) midlevel flow to the west (east) of its center. Increased mesoscale organization of convection along the SMO foothills was found to be collocated with IV-enhanced northeasterly midlevel flow and anomalous northeasterly shear on the western (leading) flank of the system. It is proposed that the upper-level IV increased the SMO-perpendicular midlevel flow as well as the wind shear, thereby creating an environment favorable for convective storms to grow upscale as they moved off the high terrain.

Abstract:

The ongoing drought in the Intermountain West has brought a great deal of attention to water conservation over the past several years. During that time, turfgrass irrigation has been targeted as a source for large potential water savings. Some communities promote downsizing turfgrass areas as the best water conservation measure. In reality, turfgrass controls erosion, reduces evaporation from a site, and provides a safe surface for human activities. One alternative to elimination would be wider use of low water-use-grasses appropriate to the area. However, many questions arise regarding the choice of such grasses and their management. Our research addresses these questions. Plots have been established at Montana State University, Bozeman; Utah State University, Logan; and USDA-NRCS Plant Materials Center, Bridger, Mo. The grasses considered include 12 single species and 12 mixed species stands of `Cody' buffalograss, `Foothills' Canada bluegrass, `Bad River' blue grama, sheep fescue, sandberg bluegrass, muttongrass, and wheatgrasses `Sodar' streambank, `Road Crest' crested, `Rosana' western, and `Critana' thickspike with Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue as controls. Line source irrigation allowed the plots to be evaluated at a number of levels of irrigation. Experimental measurements on the plots included growth response as determined by clipping yield and quality ratings, and species composition. Fescues and wheatgrasses retained their color, texture, and density throughout the growing season, regardless of moisture level. Warm-season grasses performed well in June, July, and August only, and worked poorly in mixtures as the green cool-season grasses could not mask the brown dormant leaves in cooler weather.

Abstract:

e18646 Background: Native Americans (NA) have some of the highest mortality rates from cancer in the US. Despite that, they face significant geographic barriers to access to cancer care. However, little study addresses disparities in accessibility in NA population. This study aims to estimate the travel distance to National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center for NA patients in Utah and the continental US. Methods: We first retrospectively collected geographic information of patients with genitourinary cancer (NA vs. white) from Feb 1, 2013, to Jan 31, 2023. The travel distance from patients’ home zip code to Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah was calculated using GeoData ZIP Code Distance Calculations Matrix Template. Then, the shapefile was downloaded from the NCI website. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) state decile was used to match between NA reservations and the control block groups within the same state. The travel time was calculated using Google map. Locations were mapped in ArcGIS 10.7 using coordinates and a 5-digit zip code tabulation area (ZCTA). Results: During the ten-year period of time, a total of 468 NA patients were seen in our cancer clinic. The median travel distance for NA patients vs. white patients to HCI is 190.6 mi (range: 1.1-596.4 mi) vs. 21.6 mi (range: 1.1-269 mi, p< 0.0001). In the continental US, the median travel distance from NA reservations vs. ADI-matched block groups to the nearest NCI-designated cancer centers is 186.5 mi (range 77.8-629 mi) vs. 159 miles (range 1.9-671.3 mi, p< 0.01) (Table). Map data and travel time will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: The travel distance to HCI for NA cancer patients in Utah was almost nine times longer than that of white cancer patients. It is also significantly longer from most NA reservations to the nearest NCI-designated cancer centers compared to ADI-matched block groups. This study highlights the significant disparity in cancer care accessibility faced by Native American communities and the urgent need for action to address this issue. [Table: see text]

Abstract:

Aims/Objectives: This study aimed to throw more light on how common self-medication is, among the American International University West Africa (AIUWA), The Gambia’s student population, the common patterns, and the factors that aid or prevent self-medication among the students. Materials and Methods: This study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design. A sample of 168 AIUWA students was collected online. Qualitative data was hardcoded and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariable binary logistic regression to determine the correlation between factors for, and outcomes of self-medication. Results and Discussion: 38.9% of the respondents practiced self-medication. The most common rationale for self-medication is the perception of the illness to be mild (42%) and having similar symptoms in the past (36.2%). Other reasons were availability of home remedies (26.1%) or drugs for self-medication (20.3%), emergency use (17.4%), and because self-medication saves time. The least common reasons given for self-medicating were clinic being far away (2.9%) and being a health worker or practicing nurse (1.4%). Knowledge from the past experiences of an illness (51.5%) and online sources (26.5%) were the most common sources of knowledge for self-medication. The most common medications used are Paracetamol (60.9%) and antibiotics (46.4%) and the most common conditions treated are headache (52.2%) and cold symptoms (46.4%). Less than half of the respondents (46.4%) self-medicated according to the recommended duration, 42% were sure that they did not take the medication for the correct duration of time and 11.6% did not even bother to check. Almost all the participants who self-medicated said that the medication solved the health condition they treated. Majority of the students who practiced self-medication preferred orthodox medicines to alternative medicines. By far, the most common source of drugs for self-medication was the drug store (81.4%), followed by friends and family (16.7%), drugs stored at home (15.7%), and home remedies (15.7%). Most of the students sometimes read the prescribing information before using a medication, and 51.2% do not support the idea of self-medication. In addition, self-medication was significantly associated with being a student in the health science center (p<0.001), married (p<0.05) or single (p<0.05), and being in or beyond the third year of studies (p<0.05). Conclusions: Almost half of the respondents admitted to having practiced self-medication because they perceived their illness to be mild. Students who were significantly more likely to self-medicate were those in the health science center, those who are married or single, and those who have reached or passed the third year of studies.

Abstract:

Abstract Katherine Dunham was a world-renowned dancer and choreographer whose works helped to invent and transform African American dance, with influences from the West Indies and wider African Diaspora. Born and raised in Illinois, Ms. Dunham returned to her home state in the 1960s to teach at Southern Illinois University. The portion of her papers held at this institution have recently become more accessible online, and the collection is increasingly popular with distance researchers from around the country and the globe. As a result, three members of the library faculty at Southern Illinois University have begun a pilot project to digitize and transcribe a portion of a series of Ms. Dunham’s article clippings, taking a sample of articles which span primarily from the late thirties to the late fifties which relate to her performances and activities within the state of Illinois. The details of this project are described, along with background information about this important historical figure, and a summary of her related primary source collections at other prestigious institutions around the country is offered as an aid to further research.

Abstract:

Women with African ancestry in western, sub-Saharan Africa and in the United States represent a population subset facing an increased risk of being diagnosed with biologically aggressive phenotypes of breast cancer that are negative for the estrogen receptor, the progesterone receptor, and the HER2/neu marker. These tumors are commonly referred to as triple-negative breast cancer. Disparities in breast cancer incidence and outcome related to racial or ethnic identity motivated the establishment of the International Breast Registry, on the basis of partnerships between the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana, the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan. This research collaborative has featured educational training programs as well as scientific investigations related to the comparative biology of breast cancer in Ghanaian African, African American, and white/European American patients. Currently, the International Breast Registry has expanded to include African American patients throughout the United States by partnering with the Sisters Network (a national African American breast cancer survivors’ organization) and additional sites in Ghana (representing West Africa) as well as Ethiopia (representing East Africa). Its activities are now coordinated through the Henry Ford Health System International Center for the Study of Breast Cancer Subtypes. Herein, we review the history and results of this international program at its 10-year anniversary.

Abstract:

Abstract Monthly climatologies (1971–2000 monthly averages) for stations in the western United States, obtained from the NOAA/National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), are used to illustrate the spatial variations in the annual cycle of climate. Animated map sequences of temperature and precipitation, their average, intermonthly changes, and the local timing of annual maxima or minima provide a comprehensive spatiotemporal baseline of regional climate. The animated maps illustrate three scales of variation: 1) broadscale patterns related to the annual cycle of insolation and hemispheric-scale atmospheric circulation features; 2) mesoscale patterns related to location on the continent and the influence of specific regional circulation features like those associated with the North American monsoon; and 3) smaller-scale spatial variations, related to the mediation by local physiography of the influence of large-scale circulation. Although most western U.S. stations have temperature maxima in July, a delay occurs at stations along the West Coast and interior Washington, northern Idaho, and Montana. A seesaw pattern of precipitation maxima is evident between coastal areas (winter dominated) and the interior (summer dominated). Cluster analyses of the ratio of monthly-to-annual precipitation values for each station identify regions with similar annual cycles of precipitation. Regions of high spatial heterogeneity in the timing of when precipitation occurs include the northern Rocky Mountains, Utah, Arizona, and northwestern Montana. The superimposition of these three scales of spatial variability leads to steep gradients and, in some regions, considerable spatial heterogeneity in annual precipitation. The regional patterns of precipitation heterogeneity highlight vulnerability to drought, especially in regions of the interior west that do not have a dominant precipitation month or season.

ABSTRACTFrom 2016 to 2019, the University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu conducted archaeological field schools at Honouliuli National Historic Site to teach our students basic archaeological skills. Because the site was the largest Japanese and Japanese American concentration camp on O‘ahu, the field school initiated a program related to social justice and democratic principles for the imprisonment of US citizens and legal residents based on racial and national profiling. The demography of O‘ahu created a special bond to the incarcerees’ stories and the students of Asian and Hawaiian descent. Through field trips, student discussion, and curriculum development, we focused on the pedagogical benefit of experiential learning. Field trips to the National Park Service's World War II Valor in the Pacific Park System on O‘ahu, King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center, and the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i allowed the students to see and understand the historical context of the Japanese internment from the mid-nineteenth century, with the development of plantations and early colonialism, to the beginning of World War II and the internment of the more than 300 Japanese and Japanese American—as well as European and Okinawan—civilians and the imprisonment of over 4,000 prisoners of war.

Abstract:

Utah sweetvetch (Hedysarum boreale Nutt.) is a native American perennial nitrogen fixing legume used mainly in rangeland reclamation, soil rejuvenation, and erosion control. In June 2011, a field of Utah sweetvetch grown for seeds in central Oregon had approximately 15% of the plants exhibiting chlorosis, defoliation, stunting, wilting, and/or death. Dissection of the crown of symptomatic plants revealed discolored pinkish brown vascular tissue. Symptomatic tissues from six random plants were surface sterilized, placed on acidified potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, and cultured for 7 days at room temperature, which allowed six fungal isolates (SS1 through SS6) to be collected. On PDA, all six isolates had rapid, creamy white colored growth. Based on observations of 1-week-old isolates, microconidia were oval to kidney shaped, single celled, 8 to 10 × 2.5 to 4 μm, and formed at the tips of long unbranched monophialides. Macroconidia were three to four septate, cylindrical to slightly curved, with characteristic foot shaped basal cell and blunt apical cell, 37 to 49 × 4.4 to 5.3 μm. Chlaymydospores observed were 8.5 to 11 × 7.6 to 9 μm. Based on fungal references (1,2,3), the isolates were identified as Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. Identification of the isolates at the molecular level was determined by amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region using PCR and amplicon sequencing. Botrytis cinerea and F. graminearum cultures were used as controls for the extraction, amplification, and sequencing steps. Genomic DNA was extracted from mycelia using protocols of the MOBIO Ultraclean Soil DNA Isolation Kit (MO-BIO Laboratories Inc, Carlsbad, CA, USA). PCR was performed using ITS1/ITS4 primers and resulted in 563- to 573-bp amplicons, which were sequenced. Analysis of the ITS sequences (GenBank Accession Nos. JX524018 to JX524023) for the six fungal isolates using BLASTn revealed a 99% sequence identity with F. solani strains (AB470903, AB513851, AJ608989, EF152426, EU029589, and HM214456). Pathogenicity was confirmed on Utah sweetvetch plants in the greenhouse. Seeds of Utah sweetvetch were first plated on acidified PDA for germination; healthy seedlings were then selected and transplanted into pots with sterilized soil after 2 weeks of growth. The plants were kept in a greenhouse at Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center, Madras, Oregon. Ten 40-day-old healthy vetch plants were inoculated by drenching with a mixed conidial suspension (107 conidia/ml) of the six F. solani isolates. Ten plants drenched with sterile distilled water were included as controls. Symptoms of chlorosis and stunting similar to those in the commercial field were observed within 30 days of inoculation on 8 of 10 inoculated plants, while control plants were symptomless. Fungal isolates identical to F. solani were reisolated from the symptomatic plants. To our knowledge, this is the first report of F. solani on Utah sweetvetch plants. References: (1) C. Booth.

Abstract:

Abstract Forecasts produced for the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (23 January–25 March 2002) by a multiply nested version of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU–NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) are examined to determine if decreasing horizontal grid spacing to 4 km improves forecast accuracy over the finescale topography of the Intermountain West. The verification is based on high-density observations collected by the MesoWest cooperative networks, including approximately 200 wind and temperature sites and 100 precipitation sites across northern Utah. Wind and precipitation forecasts produced by the 4-km MM5 domain were more accurate (based on traditional measures) than those of its parent 12-km domain. The most significant improvements in wind speed forecasts occurred at night in valleys and lowland locations where the topography of the 4-km domain produced more accurate nocturnal flows. Wind direction forecast improvements were most substantial at mountain sites where the better topographic resolution of the 4-km domain more accurately reflected the exposure of these locations to the free atmosphere. The 4-km domain also produced quantitative precipitation forecasts that were either equally (small events) or more (large events) accurate than the 12-km domain. Precipitation bias errors varied substantially between the two domains since the representation of the region’s narrow, steeply sloped, basin-and-range topography improved dramatically at 4-km grid spacing. Curiously, the overall accuracy of temperature forecasts by the 4-km domain was not significantly better than that of the 12-km domain. This was due to an inability of the MM5 to properly simulate nocturnal and persistent cold pools within mountain valleys and the lowlands upstream of the Wasatch Mountains. Paradoxically, the added resolution of the 4-km domain, coupled with the failure of this version of the MM5 to fully capture the nocturnal and persistent cold pools, resulted in poorer skill scores. At upper elevations, which are typically above the cold pools, the 4-km domain was substantially more accurate. These results illustrate that decreasing horizontal grid spacing to less than 10 km does improve wind and precipitation forecasts over finescale Intermountain West topography. It is hypothesized that model improvements will ultimately enable the advantages of added model resolution to be fully realized for temperature forecasts over the Intermountain West.

Abstract:

Abstract High-resolution (3 km) time-lagged (initialized every 3 h) multimodel ensembles were produced in support of the Hydrometeorological Testbed (HMT)-West-2006 campaign in northern California, covering the American River basin (ARB). Multiple mesoscale models were used, including the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), and fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5). Short-range (6 h) quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) and probabilistic QPFs (PQPFs) were compared to the 4-km NCEP stage IV precipitation analyses for archived intensive operation periods (IOPs). The two sets of ensemble runs (operational and rerun forecasts) were examined to evaluate the quality of high-resolution QPFs produced by time-lagged multimodel ensembles and to investigate the impacts of ensemble configurations on forecast skill. Uncertainties in precipitation forecasts were associated with different models, model physics, and initial and boundary conditions. The diabatic initialization by the Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) helped precipitation forecasts, while the selection of microphysics was critical in ensemble design. Probability biases in the ensemble products were addressed by calibrating PQPFs. Using artificial neural network (ANN) and linear regression (LR) methods, the bias correction of PQPFs and a cross-validation procedure were applied to three operational IOPs and four rerun IOPs. Both the ANN and LR methods effectively improved PQPFs, especially for lower thresholds. The LR method outperformed the ANN method in bias correction, in particular for a smaller training data size. More training data (e.g., one-season forecasts) are desirable to test the robustness of both calibration methods.

Abstract:

During the more than 37-year brutal Israeli occupation of the West Bankand Gaza, the numbers of North American Jews voicing their oppositionin public have been dispiritingly small. Since the outbreak of the secondIntifada in September 2000, however, Jewish anti-occupation activistshave become a visible political presence in Jewish politics in the UnitedStates and Canada. Such groups as Brit Zedek V’Shalom, the TikkunCommunity, and Junity (Jewish Unity for a Just Peace) have spawneddozens of regional chapters across North America. Local groups such asNot In My Name (Chicago), Jewish Voices against the Occupation(Seattle), and Jews for Global Justice (Portland, Oregon) have sprung upspontaneously in almost every major North American city. Numerous adhoc responses have emerged as well. For example, an “Open Letter fromAmerican Jews,” proclaiming opposition to Israeli government policies inthe Occupied Territories and bearing 4,000 signatures, has appeared as afull-page advertisement in The New York Times as well as in a dozen moreAmerican and British newspapers.While very few of these groups would identify themselves as religiouslyobservant, almost all have invoked a Jewish ethical tradition ofsocial justice, derived from Jewish texts and rabbinical tradition, to maketheir political point. In his most recent book, Israel and Palestine out of theAshes, Jewish theologian Marc Ellis posits a more deeply consequentialconnection between Jewish history, Jewish ethics, and the occupation.According to Ellis, Director of the Center for American and Jewish Studiesat Baylor University (Waco, Texas), Israel’s displacement and dispossessionof the Palestinian people constitutes such a fundamental transgressionof Jewish ethics and morality that it threatens to render Judaism, a religious ...

On 5 June 2007, the fortieth anniversary of the Six Day War and the Israelioccupation of Palestine, the Kay Spiritual Life Center hosted “Forty Yearsafter the War of June 1967: Is Israeli-Palestinian Peace Possible?” on thecampus of American University in Washington, DC. This panel featuredYuval Rabin (son of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin; governing board,the Rabin Center), Amjad Atallah (president, Strategic Assessments Initiative),Aaron David Miller (public policy scholar, the Woodrow WilsonCenter), and Ziad Asali (president, American Task Force on Palestine; panelchair).Rabin opened by describing the Six Day War as “a war of our existence.”He discussed the importance of the Camp David, Oslo, and other negotiationsand then talked about Israel’s 1967 victory. After stating that both sidesin this continued conflict have faced hardship, he also mentioned the lack ofknowledge involving certain issues.Atallah explained how Americans are bogged down with this conflict’stechnicalities, such as the number of checkpoints, which causes them to neglectthe bigger picture. He pointed out that on 29 November 1947, the UnitedNations General Assembly passed a resolution (33 to 13) recommending thatPalestine be partitioned into two states, with over half of the land going to theJews and the rest going to the Palestinians. By May 1948, according to theUnited Nations and the State Department, 350,000 Palestinians had beenexpelled from their homes. The Arab states declared war on Israel and, outnumberedand under-equipped, 400,000 more Palestinians were expelled. Atthe time, the Israelis accepted partition and the Arabs rejected the plan. Heexplained that the Israelis rushed to the Sinai Peninsula and the Jordan riverand fully understood the rules of diplomacy. This resulted in Jordan takingover what is now the West Bank. In the course of the Six Day War, another600,000 Palestinians were displaced, some for the second time ...

Abstract:

133 Background: Physician orders for dcope of treatment (POST) forms are standardized forms for patient preferences for end-of-life care. These forms contain orders by a physician who has identified a patient who is seriously ill with life-limiting progressive, advanced illness. Utilization of the POST form in advanced and metastatic cancer patients has not yet been evaluated. Methods: At West Virginia University/Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, we performed an IRB approved retrospective chart review of all patients who died of metastatic or advanced malignancies from 2010-2012. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS Version 20. Results: 139 patients were identified who were diagnosed with metastatic cancer and treated at West Virginia University who died from 2010-2012. Of those 139 patients, 26 (18.7%) completed POST forms. 51 (36.7%) patients received systemic oncologic treatment in their last thirty days of life. In the last ninety days of life, patients averaged 16.2 days hospitalized. 123 (88.4%) patients had at least one hospital stay in their last three months of life, with 82 (58.7%) having two or more stays. 65 (46.8%) patients had a hospital readmission within thirty days. 39 (28.1%) patients had an ICU stay with an average duration of 2.6 days. Almost half of all patients reviewed (67, 48.2%) died in the hospital. Patients averaged 2.9 CT scans and 5.2 X-rays over the last ninety days of their life. 116 (83.5%) patients had an end-of-life discussion, with an average time from discussion to date of death of 24.5 days. Only 60 (43.2%) were identified as having a palliative care consult completed. Conclusions: The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recommends implementation of Palliative Care at the time of diagnosis of advanced cancer. POST forms appear to have a positive impact on end-of-life care in this population of advanced cancer patients. Increasing their implementation in metastatic oncology patients will likely improve end-of-life care. [Table: see text]

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Determine sociocultural influences on dietary behavior, body image, weight loss, and perceptions of the cultural appropriateness of a meal-timing intervention design and menu among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women at risk of endometrial cancer. Methods Six 90-minute videoconference focus groups among NHPI women (N = 35) recruited by a community champion in Utah. Eligible women were aged ≥18 years at risk of endometrial cancer (i.e., BMI ≥25kg/m2, history of non-insulin dependent diabetes or complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia) had a working cell phone capable of downloading a phone app, could use their cell phone during the day, and were not night-shift workers. Eleven semi-structured questions were posed during the focus groups. De-identified transcript data were analyzed using an inductive qualitative approach based on Hatch's 9-step approach. Results Overarching themes included economic factors, cultural influences, meal choice and timing, and perceptions of health. Subthemes included affordability, waste avoidance, inundated schedules, and cultural influences. Perceptions of body size and weight loss were influenced by family, community, and social media, whose messages could be conflicting. Important intervention components included satisfying, convenient pre-made meals, while barriers included the need to cook for family members. Conclusions Dietary interventions targeting metabolic health among NHPI women should consider the multitude of sociocultural and economic factors that influence food choices and meal timing in this population, including affordability, hectic schedules, and immigrant adjustment. Promoting the link between physical and mental well-being as opposed to weight loss is a key approach to reaching this population.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: African American (AA) men experience greater prostate cancer (PC) incidence and mortality compared to European American (EA) men, but the reasons are not fully understood. Some literature has identified connections between neighborhood disadvantage and aggressive PC, and AA men may be more likely to experience these factors than EA men. However, it is unclear if these associations may vary by race. We tested associations of two neighborhood disadvantage measures (neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation and racial segregation) with prostate tumor aggressiveness, overall and separately by race. We hypothesized that they would be positively associated and that associations would be stronger among AA men. Methods: We leveraged data from the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center Tumor Registry for AA and EA men who were diagnosed with PC from 2004-2021. We geocoded participants’ addresses at diagnosis to determine census tract-based Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and Racial Isolation Index (RI) values. ADI analyses included men diagnosed in 2005 or later (778 AA men and 687 EA men), and RI analyses included men diagnosed in 2009 or later (606 AA men and 454 EA men) based on data availability. We used logistic regression to model the odds of aggressive PC, defined as a Gleason pattern of 4+3 or a total Gleason score >=8, overall and by race. We fit models with scaled ADI or RI as the exposure variable, adjusting for race, age at diagnosis, and year of diagnosis. We also assessed an interaction between each neighborhood measure and race. Results: Median (interquartile range) ADI scores were 118 (101-137) for AA men and 92 (83-102) for EA men, and RI scores were 0.68 (0.35-0.87) for AA men and 0.11 (0.06-0.20) for EA men, indicating greater neighborhood deprivation and AA residential segregation among AA participants. The greatest values for these scores were concentrated in central and west Baltimore. A one-standard deviation (SD) increase in ADI was associated with significantly greater odds of aggressive tumors for AA men (OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.49; p<0.01), but not for EA men (OR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.67, 1.08; p=0.19), and the p-value for interaction (p<0.01) was statistically significant. Similarly, a one-SD increase in RI was significantly associated with aggressive tumors for AA men (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.49; p=0.03), but not for EA men (OR=1.23, 95% CI: 0.84, 1.80; p=0.29), although the p-value for interaction was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Neighborhood disadvantage was significantly associated with higher odds of aggressive PC. The association of neighborhood deprivation and tumor aggressiveness was stronger among AA men. Additional analyses will consider other measures, including historical redlining, to further evaluate the relationship of neighborhood disadvantage with prostate tumor aggressiveness.

Abstract:

In this article Gretchen Minton and Mikey Gray discuss an adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragicomedy Cymbeline that toured Montana and surrounding states in the summer of 2021. Minton’s sections describe the eco-feminist aims of this production, which was part of an international project called ‘Cymbeline in the Anthropocene’, showing how the costumes, set design, and especially the emphasis upon the female characters created generative ways of thinking about the relationship between the human and the more-than-human worlds. Gray’s first-person narrative at the end of each section reflects upon her role of Imogen as she participated in an extensive summer tour across the Intermountain West and engaged with audience members about their own relationship to both theatre and the natural world. This is a story of transformation through environmentally inflected Shakespeare performance during the time of a global pandemic.Gretchen E. Minton is Professor of English at Montana State University, Bozeman, and editor of several early modern plays, including Timon of Athens, Troilus and Cressida, Twelfth Night, and The Revenger’s Tragedy. She is the dramaturg and script adaptor for Montana Shakespeare in the Parks and the co-founder of Montana InSite Theatre. Her directorial projects include A Doll’s House, Timon of Anaconda (see NTQ 145, February 2021), Shakespeare’s Walking Story, and Shakespeare for the Birds. Mikey Gray received her BA in Theatre and Performance from Bard College, New York, with a conservatory semester at NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) in Sydney. She has performed in four productions with Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, while other actor engagements include Chicago Shakespeare Theater, American Conservatory Theater, Strawdog Theater Company, The Passage Theatre, and McCarter Theatre Center.

Abstract:

262 Background: Patients receiving chemotherapy are at risk for febrile neutropenia following treatment. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommend screening patients for risk of febrile neutropenia and risk stratification based on likelihood of febrile neutropenia events. Prophylactic growth factors (G-CSF) should be in patients receiving high-risk regimens or intermediate-risk regimens with individual risk factors. The impact of electronic medical record system (EMR) implementation on compliance with G-CSF support guidelines has not been studied. Methods: At West Virginia University/Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center we conducted an IRB approved retrospective chart review of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy from January 1, 2007 to August 1, 2008 (pre-EMR) and January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 (post-EMR). We reviewed the chemotherapy regimens and patient risk factors for developing febrile neutropenia, and determined if the G-CSF usage was consistent with guideline recommendations. Results: Compliance with prophylactic G-CSF guidelines was 75.6% in the post-EMR arm, compared to 67.5% in the pre-EMR arm (p=0.041, ch-square). The post EMR data of 1,042 new chemotherapy initiations showed: (see Table). The appropriateness of usage in high and low risk patients were the most compliant, as G-CSF orders were built into chemotherapy plans of high risk regimens and omitted from low risk regimens. Conclusions: Appropriate prophylactic G-CSF usage can be improved when orders are integrated into standard chemotherapy order sets in an EMR. An area of further improvement would include automatic identification of individual risk factors by the EMR. [Table: see text]

Abstract:

Sego SupremeTM is a designated plant breeding and introduction program at the Utah State University Botanical Center and the Center for Water Efficient Landscaping. This plant selection program introduces native and adapted plants to the arid West for aesthetic landscaping and water conservation. The plants are evaluated for characteristics such as color, flowering, ease of propagation, market demand, disease/pest resistance, and drought tolerance. However, salt tolerance has not been considered during the evaluation processes. Four Sego SupremeTM plants [Aquilegia barnebyi (oil shale columbine), Clematis fruticosa (Mongolian gold clematis), Epilobium septentrionale (northern willowherb), and Tetraneuris acaulis var. arizonica (Arizona four-nerve daisy)] were evaluated for salt tolerance in a greenhouse. Uniform plants were irrigated weekly with a nutrient solution at an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.25 dS·m−1 as control or a saline solution at an EC of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, or 10.0 dS·m−1 for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks of irrigation, A. barnebyi irrigated with saline solution at an EC of 5.0 dS·m−1 had slight foliar salt damage with an average visual score of 3.7 (0 = dead; 5 = excellent), and more than 50% of the plants were dead when irrigated with saline solutions at an EC of 7.5 and 10.0 dS·m−1. However, C. fruticosa, E. septentrionale, and T. acaulis had no or minimal foliar salt damage with visual scores of 4.2, 4.1, and 4.3, respectively, when irrigated with saline solution at an EC of 10.0 dS·m−1. As the salinity levels of treatment solutions increased, plant height, leaf area, and shoot dry weight of C. fruticosa and T. acaulis decreased linearly; plant height of A. barnebyi and E. septentrionale also declined linearly, but their leaf area and shoot dry weight decreased quadratically. Compared with the control, the shoot dry weights of A. barnebyi, C. fruticosa, E. septentrionale, and T. acaulis decreased by 71.3%, 56.3%, 69.7%, and 48.1%, respectively, when irrigated with saline solution at an EC of 10.0 dS·m−1. Aquilegia barnebyi and C. fruticosa did not bloom during the experiment at all treatments. Elevated salinity reduced the number of flowers in E. septentrionale and T. acaulis. Elevated salinity also reduced the number of shoots in all four species. Among the four species, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl–) concentration increased the most in A. barnebyi by 53 and 48 times, respectively, when irrigated with saline solution at an EC of 10.0 dS·m−1. In this study, C. fruticosa and T. acaulis had minimal foliar salt damage and less reduction in shoot dry weight, indicating that they are more tolerant to salinity. Epilobium septentrionale was moderately tolerant to saline solution irrigation with less foliar damage, although it had more reduction in shoot dry weight. On the other hand, A. barnebyi was the least tolerant with severe foliar damage, more reduction in shoot dry weight, and a greater concentration of Na+ and Cl–.

Abstract:

Abstract INTRODUCTION: African American (AA) men experience greater prostate cancer incidence and mortality compared to European American (EA) men. Growing literature supports associations of neighborhood social factors (NSF) including neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation and residential segregation with advanced or aggressive prostate cancer, and AA men may experience these factors to a greater extent than EA men. Here we tested associations of NSF with prostate tumor RNA expression of stress-related genes, hypothesizing that these factors would be related and contribute to prostate tumor aggressiveness. METHODS: We leveraged available transcriptomic data from prostate tumor tissue for AA and EA men with prostate cancer who received radical prostatectomy surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center. We geocoded each participant’s address at diagnosis, determined the corresponding census tract, and assigned tract-based Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and Racial Isolation Index (RI) scores to each participant. Based on data availability, ADI analyses included men diagnosed in 2005 or later (118 AA men and 43 EA men), and RI analyses included those diagnosed in 2009 or later (110 AA men and 37 EA men). We evaluated 105 stress-related genes, including those in the Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity, among others. We fit separate linear regression models for expression of each gene in relation to ADI or RI, respectively. Models were adjusted for race and age and year at surgery. We obtained q-values (p-values adjusted for multiple comparisons) using the Benjamini-Hochberg method. RESULTS: Median (interquartile range) ADI scores were 116 (101-131) for AA men and 91 (83-103) for EA men, and RI scores were 0.68 (0.38-0.87) for AA men and 0.10 (0.05-0.14) for EA men, indicating greater neighborhood deprivation and Black residential segregation among AA participants. The greatest values for these scores were concentrated in central and west Baltimore. ADI scores were positively and significantly (p<0.05) associated with expression for 11 genes. One gene, HTR6 (serotonin pathway), remained significant after multiple comparison adjustment (beta=0.0029, 95% confidence interval: 0.0014-0.0043; p<0.001; q=0.02). RI scores were positively and significantly associated with expression for 7 genes (p<0.05), but findings did not remain significant after multiple comparison adjustment. Four genes, including HTR6, IFIT2 and MX2 (roles in Type I IFN response), and IGLL1 (antibody synthesis) were significantly associated with both ADI and RI (p<0.05). Top findings among AA men only were similar to the overall results (AA and EA men combined). CONCLUSIONS: We identified several genes in stress-related pathways whose expression in prostate tumor tissue was higher among men with higher neighborhood deprivation or higher racial segregation. Additional analyses will consider other neighborhood measures, including historical redlining, to further investigate the role of NSF in prostate tumor RNA expression, tumor aggressiveness, and prostate cancer disparities.

Abstract:

Abstract Colorectal cancer mortality rates among those diagnosed under age 50 have been rising. Geospatial patterns of young-onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC) mortality rates in the U.S. have received limited attention, and prior studies were limited by a lack of adjustment for demographic factors, a focus only on hot spots, and a lack of cluster-specific relative risks (RRs). Adjustment allows clusters to represent areas where modifiable factors may be driving anomalous mortality rates. Aggregated 1999-2019 yoCRC mortality data for 3,036 counties was obtained from CDC WONDER Underlying Cause of Death, and demographics were obtained from 2005-2019 census variables and 2015 Robert Graham Center data. Mortality rates were stabilized via spatial smoothing, then a quasi-Poisson model was fit with median age, sex, race/ethnicity, and social deprivation. Adjusted yoCRC death counts were utilized in a Poisson circular spatial scan to identify Gini hot/cold spots at a maximum cluster size of 6% of the population at risk. Resulting RRs signified clusters where adjusted deaths were higher or lower than expected based on population and adjusted total deaths. Three statistically significant hot spots and five statistically significant cold spots were identified. The cluster with the largest log-likelihood ratio was a southern hot spot region encompassing counties horizontally from eastern Texas to central Georgia and vertically from southern Louisiana to southern Kentucky (RR: 1.26; p<0.0001). Other notable clusters included hot spots centered in North Carolina (RR: 1.18; p<0.0001) and Ohio (RR: 1.18; p<0.0001), and large cold spots in western counties (Table 1). Our results reiterate southern and Appalachian hot spots from prior literature and provide new insights into a notable Ohio hot spot along with vast western cold spots. Future work is needed to identify established and potentially novel factors that may be driving yoCRC mortality clustering patterns, such as obesity, diet, or physician access. Table 1.

Abstract:

Acupuncture therapies were used to treat spinal cord injury (SCI) and its complications. To assess the effect of a specific acupuncture therapy combined with rehabilitation training for inpatients with incomplete SCI, we conducted an assessor-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine Center in West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Seventy-two participants diagnosed with incomplete SCI were randomly assigned into 3 groups of 24 patients each, with data collection completed in December, 2019. Participants were randomly assigned (1 : 1 : 1) to 3 groups to receive treatment for 4 weeks, 5 times/week of acupuncture for Continuous Acupuncture Treatment (CAT) group, 3 times/week for Intermittent Acupuncture Treatment (IAT) group, and no acupuncture for Control group; all 3 groups received routine rehabilitation training. The primary outcome was the change of American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor score from baseline to week 4. Secondary outcomes included sensory score, Modified Barthel Index (MBI). At week 4, CAT group had a higher motor score and MBI score increase than the control group (mean difference 10.52, 17.36; p < 0.001, p < 0.01, respectively). CAT group had more increase in motor score and MBI than IAT group (mean difference 5.55, 14.77; p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively). But the difference among groups in the increase of sensory score was not statistically significant. Acupuncture resulted in a higher motor score and MBI after 4 weeks. And the dosage of 5/week led to more improvement in motor score and MBI than that of 3/week. The results suggested that a dosage of 5/week of acupuncture is safe and more effective for SCI than 3/week. But further research is needed to determine the best intervention dosage, long-term efficacy, and underlying mechanism. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1900021530.

Abstract:

Abstract Short-range quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) and probabilistic QPFs (PQPFs) are investigated for a time-lagged multimodel ensemble forecast system. One of the advantages of such an ensemble forecast system is its low-cost generation of ensemble members. In conjunction with a frequently cycling data assimilation system using a diabatic initialization [such as the Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS)], the time-lagged multimodel ensemble system offers a particularly appealing approach for QPF and PQPF applications. Using the NCEP stage IV precipitation analyses for verification, 6-h QPFs and PQPFs from this system are assessed during the period of March–May 2005 over the west-central United States. The ensemble system was initialized by hourly LAPS runs at a horizontal resolution of 12 km using two mesoscale models, including the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) and the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with the Advanced Research WRF (ARW) dynamic core. The 6-h PQPFs from this system provide better performance than the NCEP operational North American Mesoscale (NAM) deterministic runs at 12-km resolution, even though individual members of the MM5 or WRF models perform comparatively worse than the NAM forecasts at higher thresholds and longer lead times. Recalibration was conducted to reduce the intensity errors in time-lagged members. In spite of large biases and spatial displacement errors in the MM5 and WRF forecasts, statistical verification of QPFs and PQPFs shows more skill at longer lead times by adding more members from earlier initialized forecast cycles. Combing the two models only reduced the forecast biases. The results suggest that further studies on time-lagged multimodel ensembles for operational forecasts are needed.

Abstract:

Abstract The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 284,200 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2021. According to the Texas Cancer Registry (TCR) an estimated 18,277 of those new diagnoses of female breast cancer will be made in the state of Texas. Studies have found that between 5% and 35% of breast cancer patients in the United States will develop diagnosable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or significantly impairing PTSD symptoms. The goal of the study was to gather data related to the presence of PTSD symptoms in a sample of West Texas female breast cancer patients. The proposed study aimed to:. (1)Determine the prevalence of PTSD in a sample of female, West Texas breast cancer patients(2)Identify elements of a breast cancer diagnosis and breast cancer treatment that may contribute to, or exacerbate these PTSD symptoms. Our sample consistent of 78 female breast cancer patients collected from a university medical center-affiliated cancer center in the West Texas region. The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL5) was used to determine if a participant met diagnostic criteria for PTSD or fulfilled diagnostic criteria for any of the four symptom clusters – intrusive symptoms, avoidance symptoms, negative symptoms, and hyperarousal symptoms. PCL5 scores were then compared to a range of demographic variables including age, marital status, educational level, menopausal status, tobacco and alcohol use, time since diagnosis, as well as treatment modalities used. Further, PCL5 scores were compared to Her2, ER, and PR status of the tumor as well as clinical stage. Patients meeting criteria for PTSD and those with significant symptoms in distinct symptom clusters The only multi-group categorical variable that showed a significant relationship was lifetime tobacco use (F(2,75) = 4.97, p = 0.009) which showed a relationship such that current smokers were found to have higher PCL5 scores that either participants that were past smokers or those that had never smoked. Further, menopausal status (pre-menopausal versus post-menopausal) did was found to be related to PCL5 scores such that pre-menopausal women were found to have significantly higher PCL5 scores than post-menopausal women (t(71) = 2.558, p = 0.42). Living arrangement (alone or with others) was similarly, significantly related to PCL5 scores such that women living with others were found to have higher PCL5 scores than those living alone (t(74) = -1.904, p = .002). Receiving chemotherapy treatment or not was similarly related to PCL5 scores such that those that underwent chemotherapy treatment were found to have higher PCL5 scores (t(76), = -2.381, p = .008). HER2 positive status was also found to be related to PCL5 scores, such that HER2 positive patients were found to have higher PCL5 scores than HER2 negative patients (t(74) = -2.429, p = .001). While other samples identified larger percentages of diagnosable PTSD, our sample did find a percentage of patients with diagnosable PTSD consistent with the lower end of estimated rates. This. suggests that our sample is similar in some ways to that used in the existing body of literature. Future research could expand the scope of this study by including focusing on the significant variables identified in the current study, as well as by including more factors that may be particularly relevant to the patient population of the West Texas region, such as measures of religiosity, individualism, or self-reliance. nPercentage of total sampleNo significant symptoms4962.82%Significant symptoms in one symptom cluster1316.66%Significant symptoms in two symptom clusters67.69%Significant symptoms in three symptoms clusters33.85%Significant symptoms in all four symptom clusters (met criteria for PTSD diagnosis)78.97%Total78100% Citation Format: Evan Thomas Guidry, Nusrat Jahan, Catherine Jones.

Abstract:

3051 Background: The implementation of mammogram-based screening has significantly improved the early detection of breast cancer in the west. However, the use of screening mammography is less prevalent in Asia partly due to social and cultural reasons. The aim of this study was to determine if a serum microRNA (miRNA) panel could be used as biomarkers to assist in the early detection of breast cancer. Methods: We conducted a multi-center, multi-ethnic study to identify and validate miRNA biomarkers for the early detection of breast cancer. A total of 1070 subjects including 550 breast cancer cases (predominantly stage 1 and 2) and 520 matched controls from 6 independent sources were included in this study. Among these, there were 768 American and European subjects recruited by biobanks and 302 Singaporean Asian Subjects recruited at the National Cancer Centre Singapore and the National University Hospital. The study was conducted in 3 phases. First, 119 European Caucasian serum samples (Discovery Cohort) were interrogated to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between early-stage breast cancer cases and matched controls, among 520 circulating miRNA candidates by quantitative RT-PCR using MiRXES assays. The remaining 951 subjects from 5 independent sources were assigned into two groups for biomarker optimization/algorithm development (Optimization Cohort, n = 451) and validation (Validation Cohort, n = 500). Results: Among the 520 circulating miRNAs measured, 241 were quantified in absolute copy numbers for 119 subjects in the Discovery Cohort. Thirty-two candidate miRNAs were identified. These miRNAs consistently showed differential expression between cancer and control subjects in the Optimization Cohort. A multi-variant panel of 8 miRNAs and an algorithm was developed using the combined Discovery and Optimization Cohorts, with an AUC of > 0.90. When validated in the independent Validation Cohort, the panel demonstrated an AUC of > 0.85. Conclusions: We developed and validated a serum miRNA panel that is both sensitive (~70%) and specific (~90%) in detecting early-stage breast cancer.

Abstract:

Background People from underserved communities such as those from lower socioeconomic positions or racial and ethnic minority groups are often disproportionately targeted by the tobacco industry, through the relatively high levels of tobacco retail outlets (TROs) located in their neighborhood or protobacco marketing and promotional strategies. It is difficult to capture the smoking behaviors of individuals in actual locations as well as the extent of exposure to tobacco promotional efforts. With the high ownership of smartphones in the United States—when used alongside data sources on TRO locations—apps could potentially improve tobacco control efforts. Health apps could be used to assess individual-level exposure to tobacco marketing, particularly in relation to the locations of TROs as well as locations where they were most likely to smoke. To date, it remains unclear how health apps could be used practically by health promotion organizations to better reach underserved communities in their tobacco control efforts. Objective This study aimed to demonstrate how smartphone apps could augment existing data on locations of TROs within underserved communities in Massachusetts and Texas to help inform tobacco control efforts. Methods Data for this study were collected from 2 sources: (1) geolocations of TROs from the North American Industry Classification System 2016 and (2) 95 participants (aged 18 to 34 years) from underserved communities who resided in Massachusetts and Texas and took part in an 8-week study using location tracking on their smartphones. We analyzed the data using spatial autocorrelation, optimized hot spot analysis, and fitted power-law distribution to identify the TROs that attracted the most human traffic using mobility data. Results Participants reported encountering protobacco messages mostly from store signs and displays and antitobacco messages predominantly through television. In Massachusetts, clusters of TROs (Dorchester Center and Jamaica Plain) and reported smoking behaviors (Dorchester Center, Roxbury Crossing, Lawrence) were found in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Despite the widespread distribution of TROs throughout the communities, participants overwhelmingly visited a relatively small number of TROs in Roxbury and Methuen. In Texas, clusters of TROs (Spring, Jersey Village, Bunker Hill Village, Sugar Land, and Missouri City) were found primarily in Houston, whereas clusters of reported smoking behaviors were concentrated in West University Place, Aldine, Jersey Village, Spring, and Baytown. Conclusions Smartphone apps could be used to pair geolocation data with self-reported smoking behavior in order to gain a better understanding of how tobacco product marketing and promotion influence smoking behavior within vulnerable communities. Public health officials could take advantage of smartphone data collection capabilities to implement targeted tobacco control efforts in these strategic locations to reach underserved communities in their built environment.
