Illegal yet developmentally normative: a descriptive analysis of young, urban adolescents’ dating and sexual behaviour in Cape Town, South Africa

TL;DR: The findings indicate that adolescents need to be prepared for sexual negotiation and decision-making from an early age through comprehensive and accessible education and health services; sections of current legislation may be a barrier to adopting such policies and practices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alcohol consumption in relation to aberrant DNA methylation in breast tumors

TL;DR: Alcohol consumption was associated with DNA methylation in postmenopausal breast tumors, suggesting that the association of alcohol and breast cancer may be related, at least in part, to altered methylation, and may differ by drinking pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of lifetime alcohol use on hepatitis C treatment outcomes in privately insured members of an integrated health care plan.

TL;DR: The amount of alcohol consumed before HCV treatment did not have a negative effect on treatment outcomes in this population, and a history of heavy drinking should not be considered a deterrent toHCV treatment in members of an integrated health care plan who are closely monitored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Alcohol Intake as Estimated by the Health Habits and History Questionnaire, the Harvard Semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire, and a More Detailed Alcohol Intake Questionnaire

TL;DR: Estimates of alcohol intake during the 12-24 months prior to interview obtained from the Health Habits and History Questionnaire and the Harvard Semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire are compared with those from a more extensive alcohol questionnaire, the Drinking Pattern Questionnaire, to suggest that both FFQs provide a reasonable ranking of participants' alcohol intake.
