“…Early initiation of alcohol consumption is associated with negative consequences such as other drug use, automobile accidents, development of chronic alcohol use disorders, violence, early sexual activity, and is the leading cause of premature death among adolescents and young adults (Connery et al, 2014;Hingson et al, 2002;Marshall, 2014;World Health Organization, 2016). Many socio-demographic, personal, and environmental factors are linked to alcohol use in adolescence and young adulthood (Marshall, 2014;McCambridge et al, 2011;Patrick & Schulenberg, 2013).…”

Objective. We characterized leading YouTube videos featuring alcohol brand references and examined video characteristics associated with each brand and video category.Method. We systematically captured the 137 most relevant and popular videos on YouTube portraying alcohol brands that are popular among underage youth. We employed an iterative process to codebook development. We coded variables within domains of video type, character socio-demographics, production quality, and negative and positive associations with alcohol use.All variables were double coded, and Cohen's κ>0.80 for all variables except age, which was eliminated.Results. There were 96,860,936 combined views for all videos. The most common video type was -traditional advertisements,‖ which comprised 40% of videos. Of the videos, 20% were -guides‖ and 10% focused on chugging a bottle of hard liquor. While 95% of videos featured males, 40% featured females. Alcohol intoxication was present in 19% of videos. Aggression, addiction, and injuries were uncommonly identified (2%, 3%, and 4%, respectively), but 47% of videos contained humor. Traditional advertisements represented the majority of videos related to Bud Light (83%) but only 18% of Grey Goose and 8% of Hennessy videos. Intoxication was most present in chugging demonstrations (77%), while addiction was only portrayed in music videos (22%). Videos containing humor ranged from 11% for music-related videos to 77% for traditional advertisements.

“…Additionally our multiple component intervention was evidence based [17,21,22,25] but still failed to produce the large effect hypothesised in the study. Although our results were not statistically significant, there was a clear trend towards higher cessation levels in the intervention group.…”

Objective: Australian rates of cigarette smoking are the lowest in the world. Young pregnant smokers are a sub population where smoking remains high. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of a multi-component intervention (Carbon Monoxide testing, motivational interviewing and a non-smoking buddy) to assist young pregnant women to cease smoking. Methods:Between October 2013 and June 2015, this multi-centred West Australian study recruited pregnant smokers aged 16 to 24, attending their first antenatal visit. Women (n=80) were randomised to the intervention and standard smoking cessation advice (n=43) or standard smoking cessation advice alone (n=37). At 36 weeks gestation and six weeks post birth, cessation rates were compared between groups using repeated measures survival analysis and reduction in smoking was examined using repeated measures linear regression on the number of cigarettes smoked. Results:The majority (89%) of women were unemployed or not in education, used illicit drugs (43%) and had experienced sexual abuse (23%). Involvement with child protection services was common (38%). Cigarette initiation occurred at a mean age of 13 years, median number of cigarettes smoked at baseline was 10 in both groups. Smoking cessation in intervention and controls were 17% vs. 14% at 36 weeks and 23% vs. 7% 6 weeks post birth. No significant differences in cessation or smoking reduction between groups were found individually or in the repeated events analysis. Conclusion:Given the low number of participants our findings cannot conclusively rule out this multi-component intervention. We believe it remains possible this intervention may prove effective in a larger group of participants and in another setting. Monitoring trends in this vulnerable, difficult to engage group of pregnant young women is important if we are to continue to devise effective interventions.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have increased by many folds across all age groups. During pregnancy STIs are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in infant. In some way, this can be described as a health crisis in reproductive and sexual health of women, which constitute as a public health emergency worldwide. A women patient diagnose with one STI is at higher risk for other STIs and so antenatal screening for all STIs including HIV testing is required during the antenatal visit. Pregnant women with STIs should receive comprehensive intervention that includes counselling and behavioral therapy, early notification to the partner and screening, advice on safe sex practices, along with management plan to treat the disease and reduce the risk of potential life threatening complication to the fetus and improve the outcome of the pregnancy. This article presents a brief overview of scope of STIs in pregnant women and its effect on overall women's health and on their pregnancy along with comprehensive interventional strategy against STIs.
