The use of FFQ to measure diet in large-scale study in China is
virtually unique and innovative. As part of our previous NCIfunded
longitudinal smoking prevention and health promotion
program conducted in Wuhan, China, a self-administrated FFQ
has been designed to get reasonably accurate and reliable picture of
usual diet in adolescents living in urban and rural areas surrounding
Wuhan city of China. The FFQ is self-administrated and contains
124 food items in 22 food groups and asks subjects to report
frequency of food consumption over a 7-day period. Nutrient
intakes are able to estimated according to a comprehensive nutrient
database established based on predetermined standard portion size
of foods and food composition tables. A validation study with the
purpose to quantify the accuracy and reliability of this FFQ and
its variation across seasons has been conducted in a representative
sample of 8th graders in Wuhan, China. A total of 408 8th graders
were randomly selected from 8 classes of 4 schools. At each season
over one-year period, all students repeatedly completed the first
FFQ, about 50 students (i.e. one class from one school) were
selected to complete the 2nd FFQ and received two 24-hour food
recalls (randomly selecting 1/3 of recalls at weekends and 2/3 of
recalls at weekdays) between the period of two FFQs (3 weeks
apart). The energy-adjusted correlation coefficients for reliability of
two FFQs were adequate, ranging from 0.34 to 0.6 with mean of
0.46 (e.g. 0.51 for protein, 0.49 for total fats, 0.45 for saturated fats,
0.48 for cholesterol, 0.47 for fiber, and 0.6 for calcium), and the
coefficients were similar across different seasons. Validity coefficients
between FFQ and 24-hour recalls were acceptable with the mean of
correlation coefficients of 0.32 ranging from 0.15 to 0.73 and mean
of Kappa coefficients of 0.48 ranging from 0.43 to 0.6.

Brief counseling for smoking cessation delivered by health care
professionals is an effective means of helping smokers quit. We
surveyed 100 pharmacy clients who smoke and their interest in
receiving smoking counseling from a pharmacist.
Recruitment and surveys were conducted as interviews when clients
exited a pharmacy adjacent to an HMO. 37% of participants were
male (mean age = 42.7); 56% were Hispanic; 92% white, 8%
Native American; 38% had 12 years education (22% had < 12
years); and 62% had < $20,000 annual household income.
Average smoking rate =16.5 cigarettes/day. Sixty percent reported
trying to quit in the past year. Nearly half (48%) had high scores
on a measure of nicotine dependence (FTQ). Stage of change
for readiness to quit smoking was distributed as follows: 22%
Precontemplation, 50% Contemplation, and 28% Preparation.
Seventy percent had never used medication during previous quit
attempts. Only 20% had used nicotine replacement and 3% had
~ 107 ~
tried Zyban (3%).
While 83% reported their doctor had asked about their smoking
and 57% had been advised to quit by their doctor, no participants
had ever been asked about their smoking, advised to quit, or offered
help with quitting by a pharmacist. However, 84% of participants
thought that it would be a good idea for pharmacists to speak with
their customers about quitting smoking.
Participants were asked whether they would use various intervention
systems if recommended by the pharmacist. One-fifth (21%) said
they would be likely to use a computer at the pharmacy, 25% a
pharmacist-recommended website, and 34% would use a telephone
quitline.
Pharmacists’ expertise in drug therapy, their accessibility to the
public, and their presence at the point-of-purchase of nicotine
replacement products and other cessation-related medications,
make them particularly suitable advocates for smoking cessation.
Pharmacy clients appear in need of, and interested in, counseling by
their pharmacist.

Objectives: To examine whether tobacco use of the seller or in the
car influence the value of a used car.
Design: Telephone survey and content analysis of print
advertisements of a random sample of private party used car sellers
from a trade publication.
Setting: San Diego, CA, January 2005 to April 2006.
Participants: N=1,642 adults who advertised in the Auto Trader cars
for sale built after 1988.
Main outcome measures: Published asking price, self-reported
smoking behavior.
Results: Twenty-two percent of used cars were sold by smokers or
had been smoked in during the previous year. After controlling for
make, model, mileage, age, and condition of car, the smoking status
of the seller (p=.002) and of the car (p=.001) were significantly
associated with the asking price. Cars sold by smokers in which
cigarettes had been smoked were offered 9% below the asking prices
of equivalent nonsmoker cars.
