Pack-year smoking history: an inadequate and biased measure to determine lung cancer screening eligibility.
This study examines the limitations of using pack-year smoking history as a criterion for lung cancer screening eligibility, as outlined in the current US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guideline. The research team investigated whether replacing the pack-year criterion with a smoking duration cutoff could improve the selection of high-risk individuals for screening, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups. The investigation analyzed data from two large cohorts: 49,703 individuals with a smoking history from the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS) and 22,126 individuals from the Black Women's Health Study (BWHS). The researchers compared screening eligibility rates under the current USPSTF guideline, which uses a 20-pack-year smoking history cutoff, to a proposed guideline that instead uses a 20-year smoking duration criterion. In the SCCS cohort, the study found a significant disparity in screening eligibility between Black and White patients with lung cancer under the current USPSTF guideline. The proposed guideline, using the 20-year smoking duration cutoff, substantially increased the percentage of both Black and White patients who would qualify for screening, effectively eliminating the racial disparity in eligibility. Similarly, in the BWHS cohort, the proposed 20-year smoking duration criterion significantly increased the proportion of Black women with lung cancer who would qualify for screening compared to the current pack-year criterion.

Primary care-relevant interventions for tobacco and nicotine use prevention and cessation in children and adolescents: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
Interventions to discourage the use of tobacco products (including electronic nicotine delivery systems or e-cigarettes) among children and adolescents may help decrease tobacco-related illness and injury. The objective of this study was to update the 2013 review on primary care-relevant interventions for tobacco use prevention and cessation in children and adolescents to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force.

Screening for abnormal blood glucose and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This case study involves a 43-year-old woman with a seven pack-year smoking history. She has no health concerns and has not visited a physician in four years. Her blood pressure and pulse are normal, and her body mass index (BMI) is 27 kg per m2. She does not have a family history of diabetes mellitus. The case study poses three multiple choice questions together with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations and related background information.

Behavioral and pharmacotherapy interventions for tobacco smoking cessation in adults, including pregnant women.
This case study involves a 40-year-old woman presenting for a routine antepartum visit. She is 20 weeks pregnant and smokes half a pack of cigarettes per day. She asks if your clinic offers services to help with tobacco smoking cessation and if she should try using e-cigarettes to stop smoking. The authors next pose three multiple choice questions and then give the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations and related background information.

Behavioral counseling and pharmacotherapy interventions for tobacco cessation in adults, including pregnant women: a review of reviews for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
The researchers reviewed the effectiveness and safety of pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions for tobacco cessation. They concluded that behavioral and pharmacotherapy interventions improve rates of smoking cessation among the general adult population, alone or in combination. Data on the effectiveness and safety of electronic nicotine delivery systems are limited.
