“…19 States are implementing new policies and practices based on these guidelines, and the successful implementation is supported by broad dissemination of these guidelines through state and community agencies. 20 A main goal of this evaluation was to assess the dissemination networks in each state to help CDC improve tobacco control D&I activities.…”

Dissemination and implementation (D&I) are complex social and organizational processes by which new scientific discoveries and advances can be translated and transferred to people, settings, and communities to affect and improve public health. Despite their complexity, D&I processes can be viewed as a type of information transmission. A new scientific discovery (or innovation) is a piece of information that needs to be transferred to a different part of society, which can put that information to use. It turns out that this type of information transmission has important structural and relational properties that can best be understood using a relatively new systems science tool: network analysis. This chapter proposes a network analytic model of D&I and illustrates how network analysis can be used both to study and shape D&I processes and outcomes. Understanding the D&I process more fully through network analysis can be an important domain of D&I research.

“…For most cancers related to infectious organisms, chronic inflammation is an important component of pathogenesis. Some viruses incorporate their genetic material directly into host cell DNA (21). The remaining sections of this paper will focus on the most common infection-related cancers for which vaccines and other preventive approaches are available.…”

The global burden of cancer: priorities for prevention

Despite decreases in the cancer death rates in high-resource countries, such as the USA, the number of cancer cases and deaths is projected to more than double worldwide over the next 20–40 years. Cancer is now the third leading cause of death, with >12 million new cases and 7.6 million cancer deaths estimated to have occurred globally in 2007 (1). By 2030, it is projected that there will be ∼26 million new cancer cases and 17 million cancer deaths per year. The projected increase will be driven largely by growth and aging of populations and will be largest in low- and medium-resource countries. Under current trends, increased longevity in developing countries will nearly triple the number of people who survive to age 65 by 2050. This demographic shift is compounded by the entrenchment of modifiable risk factors such as smoking and obesity in many low-and medium-resource countries and by the slower decline in cancers related to chronic infections (especially stomach, liver and uterine cervix) in economically developing than in industrialized countries. This paper identifies several preventive measures that offer the most feasible approach to mitigate the anticipated global increase in cancer in countries that can least afford it. Foremost among these are the need to strengthen efforts in international tobacco control and to increase the availability of vaccines against hepatitis B and human papilloma virus in countries where they are most needed.

“…9 These activities include mass media campaigns, cessation services (through state telephone quit lines, health care providers, and reduced out-of-pocket costs for treatment), and strong secondhand smoke restrictions 3,9 ; such activities were included as part of many state tobacco control programs throughout the period of this study. 3,6,34,35 Limitations Our study had several limitations. We relied on self-reported data to categorize adult smoking prevalence; studies suggest, however, that Note.…”

The Impact of Tobacco Control Programs on Adult Smoking

Objectives. We examined whether state tobacco control programs are effective in reducing the prevalence of adult smoking. Methods. We used state survey data on smoking from 1985 to 2003 in a quasi-experimental design to examine the association between cumulative state antitobacco program expenditures and changes in adult smoking prevalence, after we controlled for confounding. Results. From 1985 to 2003, national adult smoking prevalence declined from 29.5% to 18.6% (P<.001). Increases in state per capita tobacco control program expenditures were independently associated with declines in prevalence. Program expenditures were more effective in reducing smoking prevalence among adults aged 25 or older than for adults aged 18 to 24 years, whereas cigarette prices had a stronger effect on adults aged 18 to 24 years. If, starting in 1995, all states had funded their tobacco control programs at the minimum or optimal levels recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there would have been 2.2 million to 7.1 million fewer smokers by 2003. Conclusions. State tobacco control program expenditures are independently associated with overall reductions in adult smoking prevalence.
