Basic materials can be used to make photograph opportunities for the media withou: calling in celebrities. For example, a health worker can dress up as a carrot or apple to encourage healthy eating, or as a cigarette carton ‘kicked’ out of a public place on ‘no-smoking day’. Costumes can be hired from a fancy dress shop or, if you are creative, made from inexpensive materials.

This is a prospective monocentric unrandomized case-control study comparing the prevalence of biofilms between 2 groups of children matched for age and gender. Cases (Group 1) were children who underwent adenoidectomy for COM. Controls (Group 2) were children who underwent adenoidectomy for obstructive adenoids without COM. In group 1, when children with COM needed to have a ventilation tube inserted then a biopsy of ME mucosa and effusion liquid were collected. The specimens were prepared for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The main outcome measurement was the prevalence of mucosal biofilm formations in adenoidectomy specimens analyzed using CLSM with double staining to visualize both the bacteria and the glycocalyx matrix. The following clinical features were recorded for searching risk factors: age, sex, breastfeeding, passive smoking, day nursery, young siblings, anemia, acid reflux, allergy, number of previous antibiotics treatments. Institutional review board approval was obtained. Informed consent was obtained for each child.

As noted in Table 1, 20 African American young adults participated in the individual interviews. The average age of participants was 24.7 years (SD = 3.3). Most participants were male (75%) and 60% had completed some level of college. Participants reported smoking blunts nearly every day in the month prior to the interview (M = 26.3 days, SD = 5.5), with an average of 4.7 (SD = 3.3) blunts smoked per smoking day. Most participants reported smoking joints as another method of cannabis administration in the past month (80%) and using tobacco via hookah in the past month (50%).

The omnibus model was significant, Wald χ2(3, N = 170) = 32.14, p < .001. Time but not safer nicotine use predicted smoking frequency. Specifically, as a group, participants were 12% less likely to report an additional smoking day for each week after study enrollment (see Tables 3 and 4).
