The purpose of this study was to examine self-reported behavior changes and household exposures related to tobacco, vaping, and marijuana use during the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of adults with asthma.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US and the resulting routine changes have brought about substantial increases in smoking behavior (tobacco, vaping, and marijuana).
Food insecurity is the inability of an individual, family, or community to obtain a sufficient amount of food or nutrition to meet basic needs due to lack of money or access to resources.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, individual food insecurity numbers have risen significantly which has posed a threat to the health of individuals
The objective of this study is to understand the effect of food insecurity on asthma control in adults during COVID-19 and to determine an area of intervention in asthma prevention and treatment.
Evidence that wearing masks greatly reduces the chance of becoming infected with COVID-19 is strongly supported.
This cross-sectional study sought to determine to what extent adults with asthma wear masks, types of masks worn, discomfort/problems encountered when wearing a mask, and participant recommendations regarding mask wearing.
The purpose of this study is to assess levels of household cleaning/disinfecting practices and changes in these practices associated with Covid-19 and examine associations of household cleaning/disinfecting with asthma control.
Study finds that public messaging should recognize potential impact of cleaning/disinfecting practices on people with asthma and messaging should provide alternative safer disinfecting options for those with asthma and allergic reactions.
Although masks are recommended for those with asthma in the era of COVID-19, there is limited research exploring the extent of and problems related to mask use in adults with asthma.
We sought to describe in adults with asthma: (1) the extent masks are worn and attitudes and beliefs about wearing masks; (2) participant characteristics associated with problems experienced while wearing a mask, and (3) participant experiences and recommendations regarding masks.
A study about how increased disinfectant use with cleaning supplies during COVID-19 can impact people with asthma.
We found the frequency of cleaning/disinfecting among individuals with asthma has increased dramatically since Covid-19 and almost 40% of people report their asthma was uncontrolled in the past 4 weeks.
