Giovenco, Daniel P.
American Journal of Public Health. Sep 2019, 109(9), 1162-1163. DOI: 10.2105/AJPH.2019.305250.

Hendlin, Yogi H.; Vora, Manali; Elias, Jesse; Ling, Pamela M.
American Journal of Public Health. Jul 2019, Vol. 109 Issue 7, pe1-e8.
DOI: 10.2105/AJPH.2019.305106
Tobacco companies have actively promoted the substitution of cigarettes with purportedly safer tobacco products (e.g., smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes) as tobacco harm reduction (THR). Given the tobacco, e-cigarette, and pharmaceutical industries' substantial financial interests, we quantified industry influence on support for THR.
7. The E-Cigarette Debate: What Counts as Evidence?
Fairchild, Amy Lauren; Bayer, Ronald & Lee, Ju Sung.
American Journal of Public Health. Jul 2019, 109(7), 1000-1006.
DOI: 10.2105/AJPH.2019.305107.
Two major public health evaluations of e-cigarettes—one from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), the other from Public Health England (PHE)—were issued back to back in the winter of 2018. While some have read these analyses as broadly consistent, providing support for the view that e-cigarettes could play a role in smoking harm reduction, in every major respect, they come to very different conclusions about what the evidence suggests in terms of public health policy. How is that possible?

Transfer of adolescents with congenital heart disease from paediatric cardiology providers to specialized adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) care providers is becoming a standard practice.

concerns.

European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Aug 2017, 26(8), 899-908. DOI: 10.1007/s00787-017-0954-6.
Cyberbullying has been portrayed as a rising 'epidemic' amongst children and adolescents. But does it create many new victims beyond those already bullied with traditional means (physical, relational)? Our aim was to determine whether cyberbullying creates uniquely new victims, and whether it has similar impact upon psychological and behavioral outcomes for adolescents, beyond those experienced by traditional victims.
17. Design, development and validation of a workplace cyberbullying measure, the WCM.
Farley, Samuel; Coyne, Iain; Axtell, Carolyn & Sprigg, Christine.

Cyberbullying research is beginning to expand from its roots in the youth context into the organizational realm. However, a lack of psychometrically sound scales that capture the diverse features of technological communication has hindered workplace cyberbullying research. The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable measure to assess cyberbullying across various communication technologies and disparate working populations
