2025P2 Regional Editor of AJPH, Prof. Jihong Liu and Dr. Tianchu Lyu, review highlights of the Jan to Mar 2025 Issues and Supplements. The Editor's Corner features Dr. José Pagán, Professor and Chair of Department of Public Health Policy and Management, School of Global Public Health, New York University

Alfredo Morabia and Vickie Mays (UCLA), editors at the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) conducted an in-person interview of Lauren Weber, who, at The Washington Post, is an accountability reporter focusing on scientific and medical disinformation. She presented her work at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the APHA in Minneapolis.

In this episode Alfredo Morabia explores with Cynthia N. Lebron (Latino Caucus for Public Health), José Pérez-Ramos, (U Rochester), and Anna-Michelle McSorley, (U Connecticut) key health issues facing the Hispanic/Latino population in the U.S., We examine the adequacy of health data collection, questioning whether current tools provide an accurate picture of this diverse community. The episode also discusses the unique health challenges of undocumented immigrants, including barriers to healthcare access and quality. Through these discussions, the podcast aims to highlight critical gaps and opportunities for improving health equity within Hispanic/Latino communities.

In this series, What is Public Health?, Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia speak with Dr. Craig Spencer from the Brown University School of Public Health. They explore the work of American public health professionals abroad—particularly in Asia and Africa—and discuss the real-world humanitarian impact of recent executive orders shutting down USAID and cutting the workforce of federal public health agencies.

In this series, What is Public Health?, Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia interview Dr. Sonja Rasmussen, former Editor-in-Chief of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). They discuss the role of the MMWR, the day-to-day responsibilities of its editor, and the potential consequences of recent executive orders restricting its publication.

In this episode of the AJPH Vickie Mays, Alfredo Morabia and guest podcast co-host Susan Cochran offer reflections of a series of papers on the context of societal conditions that call out the need for public mental health. The interviews are of an author of 4 papers in a special AJPH issue on mental health. Margarita Alegria and her study of which primary care referrals actually enhanced both mental and physical health, Brea Perry and the impact of mental health in emerging young adults use of social media in building social cohension and bonding, Pualani Enos's reflection on the ways in which the land and water right fights are part of the mental health trauma of the Lahaina fires and from Cochran and Mays on their paper on the gendered language of mental health and its importance in assessing men's suicide.

In this AJPH podcast episode, Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia speak with Caroline R. Efird, Derek M. Griffith, and Jonathan Metzl about the often-overlooked concept of whiteness as a determinant of health. They discuss their article, 'Whiteness: A Fundamental Determinant of the Health of Rural White Americans,' exploring what whiteness is, why it should be considered a health determinant, and whether racism within whiteness can backfire. The conversation also addresses how public health professionals can navigate the current pushback against anti-racist health initiatives.

Most commonly the challenge is gaining lean muscle. Doing all the things but can't seem to gain muscle? Then tune in and go through this like a check list of 12 strength training mistakes in menopause that could be the reason. It just takes one. But if there are multiple, it's compounded and in this case, not interest but penalty! Join us at Metabolism Makeover 2.0 to support your journey avoiding the 12 strength training mistakes in menopause. Overworking Small Muscle Groups [00:02:20] You need fewer of these small muscle group-focused exercises in your routine if you prioritize the major muscles like chest (pectoralis) and back (trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi). If the secondary (biceps and triceps) muscles are going to get a workout most of the time, these will rob you of time and energy that is better spent on major muscles if you aren't getting in the adequate volume there. Skipping the Warmup [00:06:40] Nearly a decade ago, I began sharing the fact that if you skip the warmup, you also miss an opportunity to increase total energy expenditure during a workout. It's not only about injury prevention. There's an increased blood circulation, improved energy expenditure, mobility and you can work closer to your capacity. If fitness and longevity are truly goals, “exercising” is not the same as working at your capacity and safely, sanely raising the roof on your fitness level so that age doesn't automatically result in slowing down or gaining weight. Not Resting Between Sets Long Enough Before [00:13:10] Rapidly moving from one exercise to the next, was yesterday. The “metabolic conditioning workouts” are a nice anomaly, a change in pace. Rest between sets of strength training. Reach complete muscle fatigue or within 2 reps of it. If you do HIIT, separate the sessions so you get the best benefit from it and from strength. If you are not getting stronger, not increasing muscle, and these are your goals (in order, perhaps to improve body fat % ultimately), it's a “how” you're doing it problem. Plan Your Routine to Avoid 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause No Organized Plan [00:17:30] You either default to using what's available at the gym or doing the same exercises in the same sequence every time. If you're not careful you won't change the stimulus (by changing the sequence and sets/rep combination) and may also not be getting enough sets per muscle group in each week. It doesn't mean that all sets for a muscle group must be all the same exercise. A super set of 6 different exercises for the triceps works. The next workout you may just do 3 and you're still covered… if you planned it that way. Not Sleeping Enough or Not Changing the Workout When You Don't Sleep [00:20:50] The sleep you get will determine the benefit you get from exercise. If you don't prioritize, your workouts will suffer too. You're also at risk for injury, not only because your body isn't fully doing the repair job or releasing testosterone and growth hormone in deep cycles of sleep as it should, but because coordination suffers. Treating Soreness or Worn Out an Indication of “Good Workout” [00:22:40] When you work muscles, it's normal to feel sore, even if you're extremely fit. Some muscles like quads and glutes are used to a lot of activity and tend to get sore less often. But there are two genes associated with soreness and you may either be predisposed to be sore or not. It's not a good indication of whether you worked hard enough. If you reached muscle fatigue or came close, you gave the muscle enough stimulus. The first sign of poor recovery was soreness after workouts, the second was reduced performance during workouts. 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause to Avoid and Nurture Your Body Dependence on Supplements and Negating Balanced Whole Food Meals. [00:27:00] If you're all too willing to jump to EAAs, or BCAAs but won't eat regular meals that result in satiety, chances are your lack of micro and macronutrients will catch up with you. “Food first”, then allow supplements to take you the rest of the way. I don't like to “count” calories on a regular basis but a snapshot is very helpful for checking in. Often for knowing when you're eating too little. Taking Too Much Advice (or Too Little From Too Many People) [00:30:20] It often takes even gurus a while to come around. You have to love Vonda Wright and Mary Haver sharing their own menopause journeys. We need more women like them. They're open about not knowing what they didn't know about menopause, as physicians and women. You have at your fingertips access to women who learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Just don't jump in the middle. You need an onramp. Ignoring Nutrition Needs. [00:32:30] The talk is “calorie deficit.” Yet, 80% of women in our community under-eat for their mere existence (resting metabolic rate) and then try to put their foot on the accelerator for exercise causing a bigger caloric deficit. Then they stay there for years, under-fed and under-fueled (processed food, diet food), the metabolism will come to a halt, along, potentially with adrenal and thyroid function. Figure your calorie needs. Use an app to track your actual intake for 3-5 days. 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause That Hinder Your Progress Thinking Small, Skinny, or Numbers That Don't Matter Instead of That Do [00:36:20] Your size and your weight on the scale do not tell the story of your fitness and health. Though they might hint at your likelihood of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, fall and fracture risk. When women focus on weight or size they sacrifice muscle. When they lose muscle, they lose strength, longevity and independence. A woman who has her ideal weight or size is constantly thinking about it and a step away from a fall or fracture. A fracture that results in bedrest, weakness and loss of more muscle. The beginning of the end. Those falls are not devastating just because of the breaks, but because of brain bleeds or other internal damage. Too Heavy to Start [00:38:20] The first 6-8 weeks, and up to 12, of a resistance training program, the benefits are due to the neural connection. That isn't rushed by going heavy. But loads too great for your ligaments, tendons and joints or muscles can cause weakness, undue soreness, and a weak foundation leading to injury. We, in the fitness industry, need to be more careful. We have sometimes lost our way in regard to where to START, and how and at what pace to PROGRESS. You Add Something But Don't Remove Something Else [00:40:30] I've experienced this temptation myself. When I started training for triathlons at 40, I was compelled to figure out how to run even while I was adding biking or swimming to my schedule. I soon realized I was sabotaging the quality of every workout and just putting those “junk miles.” A woman will lose muscle because of the added stress, inability to recover. That's an extreme example, but if you're adding and never subtracting/replacing, you're probably going to experience similar results.

In this episode of the AJPH podcast, Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia interview four experts—Kimberly M. Nelson, Wendy E. Parmet, Kristen Underhill, and Ruqaiijah Yearby—on the intersection of law, policy, and public health. They discuss the importance of studying policies within their legal contexts, the trend of state laws disproportionately targeting marginalized groups, and the broader implications for health and equity. The conversation explores the reasons behind these legal shifts and how research can inform the creation of stronger, more protective policies that promote public health and social justice.

In this AJPH podcast episode, recorded live at the 2025 American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia speak with Adrienne R. Ghorashi and Ruqaiijah Yearby about their presentation, "Examining the Role of State Constitutions in Racism, Governance, and Health Equity." They highlight how state constitutions, rather than the federal constitution, play a crucial yet often overlooked role in shaping health inequities. The discussion explores how legal frameworks at the state level contribute to systemic disparities and how constitutional reforms could advance health equity.

In this episode, Matt and Lauren speak with Dr. Tiffany Kindratt whose research focuses on examining health outcomes among the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) population, a group that was – until recently – categorized as “white” by the US government despite. Evidence showing their health and lived experiences are different. We'll get into a recent American Journal of Public Health article authored by Dr. Kindratt that that examines how cognitive difficulties differ among the MENA population when compared with other racial and ethnic categories.

In this episode of AJPH podcast, Alfredo Morabia interviews Professor Vickie Mays, co-host of the podcast and clinical psychologist who is a faculty member at UCLA, about the devastating fires that have ravaged the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Speaking from Los Angeles, Professor Mays provides an up-to-date account of the destruction as of January 16, 2025. She discusses the critical public health priorities for the weeks and months ahead and shares insights on how communities and policymakers can support the victims and aid recovery efforts.

In this episode of AJPH Talks, Alfredo Morabia interviews three distinguished guests: Dr. David Michaels, former Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Dr. Jonathan Samet, Professor and former Dean at the Colorado School of Public Health, and Paul E Sampson, historian at the University of Scranton. Together, they explore the historical context that brought ventilation to the forefront of public health concerns in homes and workplaces, the evolving regulatory framework for protecting workers from airborne transmission, and the progress (or lack thereof) in evidence-based strategies for reducing respiratory infections through improved indoor air management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In "What is Safe and Effective?," Dr. Osterholm and Chris Dall cover the evolving situation with H5N1 influenza, discuss the mystery outbreak in the DRC, and review the latest trends in COVID-19, flu, and RSV. Dr. Osterholm also answers a listener question on the phrase "safe and effective" regarding vaccines. And finally, the annual reading of the Polar Express from Dr. Osterholm to his grandchildren.

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Dr Sherry Glied, Dean of New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public and Dr Steven Woolf, Director Emeritus and Senior Advisor, VCU Center on Society and Health about the differences in excess all-cause mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic across the US states. How can we explain the greater excess mortality in states with more conservative governments? Were these deaths preventable and, if so, how? Should governments be accountable for preventable excess deaths?

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Profs Neil Pearce (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), Andrew C. Stokes (Boston University School of Public Health), and Jan P Vandenbroucke (Leiden University Medical Center, Dept. Clinical Epidemiology) in a compelling discussion about excess mortality and its significance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Why might excess mortality be a more accurate measure than COVID-19-specific mortality? What is the theoretical foundation for using excess mortality as an evaluative tool? How can excess mortality help determine whether countries or regions performed ‘equally well' during the pandemic? Can it provide insights into what strategies worked—or didn't—during the crisis? Despite delays in obtaining mortality data, how can excess mortality be used to track health emergencies in real time? Finally, what key recommendations should guide those using excess mortality as an outcome measure? Join us for this insightful conversation to better understand the critical role of excess mortality in shaping public health decisions and pandemic evaluations.

2024 P4 Regional Editor of AJPH, Prof. Jihong Liu and Dr. Tianchu Lyu, review highlights of the July to September 2024 Issues and July Supplement. The Editor's Corner features Dr. Lin Fang, Professor from Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, Canada.

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Sarah Moreland-Russell, PhD, Associate Professor of Practice, and Caitlin McMurtry, PhD, Assistant Professor, both at Brown School, Washington University, Saint Louis. Why are local public health policies sometimes in conflict with federal policies? In some states public health officers downplayed the threat of COVID-19 and the benefits of the vaccine. In others, receiving reproductive health services requires crossing state lines. We discuss if there are ways to build bridges between state and federal government, whether political polarization impacted the response to COVID-19, and whether public opinion and political processes can impact how public policy addresses inequities.

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Admiral Rachel L Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services, and Elana Redfield, J.D., Federal Policy Director at the Williams Institute, UCLA School of Law. HHS is to be applauded for its work in making visible the health, mental health, and data needs of the Transgender population in the US. Some of the foundation for this work has been accomplishments in states. Most of the federal governments targets particularly in public health come from population-based data. How have data about transgenders grown within federal data collection as well at other levels, what actions have been taken to provide evidence for policy development in transgender health? The Williams Institute is known for its data and its use for policy development: What are some of the worries that you have about this population? While there is a lot of progress what are two or three of the things still needing to be lifted up or improved in order to see even better outcomes?

Regional Editor of AJPH, Prof. Jihong Liu, Pengfei Guo, and Tianchu Lyu report on Dr. Alfredo Morabia's interviews with the Deans of three schools of public health in China in July 2024.

Regional Editor of AJPH, Prof. Jihong Liu, and Tianchu Lyu review highlights of the April to June 2024 Issues and Supplements. The Editor's Corner features Dr. Stella S. Yi, Associate Professor from the Department of Population Health, New York University.

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Anna K. Hing (University of Minnesota), Jennifer L. Pomeranz (New York University), and Marian Moser Jones (Ohio State University) to discuss whether voting rights are a political determinant of health. Key discussion points include: What have been the political consequences of the US Supreme Court's 2013 decision in Shelby County v Holder, which invalidated the Voting Rights Act's preclearance provision? Which communities are most affected by the restriction of the right to vote? What is the mechanism by which voting rights translates into health? How relevant are these results for the present context and the coming 2024 presidential, senatorial, house, and state elections? What can be done to advocate for the reinstatement of preclearance?

Participant: Michael McGinnis, Executive Director at National Academy of Medicine Hosts: Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia (AJPH) This podcast addresses critical questions such as: How was public health before 1988 and what triggered the writing of the report? How important was the ongoing AIDS pandemic in this process? Is the report a milestone, marking a shift in US public health? Can we compare the failure of the public health response to the Swine Flu threat in 1976 with the success of the response to COVID-19? Do we need a new NAM report on the Future of Public Health?

This month AJPH Editors Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia interview Julie Ward (Vanderbilt University), Guy Seymour (Psychologist in Public Safety), and Brandon del Pozo (Brown University). Interest in the potential fatal consequences of police encounters has grown in recent years. Julie Ward and her colleagues have shown that the statistics about fatal shootings only include 55% of injury-causing police shootings. Many of these incidents are non-fatal, not even taking into consideration shootings that do not result in injuries.

Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia, of AJPH, conducted an insightful interview with Dr. Jerome Adams, the 20th US Surgeon General and Distinguished Professor of Practice at Purdue University. The discussion centered around his latest book, "Crisis and Chaos: Lessons from the Front Lines of the War Against COVID-19," published by Post Hill Press in 2023. Dr. Adams candidly shared his personal experiences and the formidable challenges inherent in the role of US Surgeon General. From recounting his proudest achievements to delving into the most trying moments of his tenure, he offered a comprehensive perspective on his journey and on what it takes to be a US Surgeon General.

Today we're joined by Hot Girl Farmer, and we're just covering one topic, the Texas Age Verification Law that passed back in June, and P.0.r.N.HU8's response. Now, this topic is vast and covers a lot of facets that the Daily Decrypt and its audience are interested in, such as data protection, such as censorship, all of these things. And so we're just going to be focusing on this one topic for the whole episode. And though it does revolve around P.0.r.N.HU8 as a company which inherently involves adult content, we won't be going into any sort of graphic detail or anything like that. There may be mention of certain things that go on on this website, but nothing too crazy. But if you're sensitive to The type of content P.0.r.N.HU8 provides, it might be in your best interest to skip this episode. Though we don't encourage it because it's going to be pretty juicy. [00:01:00] Okay, so on June 6th of last year, Texas Governor [00:01:07] offsetkeyz: Greg Abbott signed into law a requirement that any website that displays adult content must verify the consumer's age before they can see the content. So that was, what, nine, ten months ago? Which, [00:01:23] HGF: immediately I thought of when you go to an alcohol website and it asks you for your birthday. So I was like, oh, verification would be good. And nobody wants children to view P.0.r.N.Ography, literally no one wants that. And I would think most people also think it's best to be consumed over the age of 18. I was like, okay, I don't really understand the controversy yet. I feel like people can get on board with verifying your birthday. [00:01:48] offsetkeyz: Right, and if it was just that enter your birthday verification style, It might not be as big of an issue, but the law itself required more stringent data [00:02:00] verification, such as entering in your data on a third party site that then verifies your identity, but you know what data they require. We're not entirely sure or entering in a credit card number or entering in information from your mortgage or like very. poking and prodding for this data. So that was signed into law. Immediately a group of plaintiffs, one of which was P.0.r.N.HU8, sued the state of Texas for censorship. Fine. Just last week, the state of Texas and the Fifth Circuit sided with the law that Governor Greg Abbott put into place requiring age verification. And so P.0.r.N.HU8 decided to take its service offline in the state of Texas as a protest. P.0.r.N.HU8. is not against age verification. So I'm just going to get that out of the way up front. P.0.r.N.HU8 is very pro age verification, but they're pro age verification in ways that make sense and don't [00:03:00] censor users and don't hurt people. Don't put people's data at risk. They want it to be a streamlined process. They want it to at least be accurate. know, At this point, it's more of a formality than it is an accurate way of verifying age. [00:03:15] HGF: Yeah, the methods that were available were not potentially secure or divulge too much information. Like a lot of personal private data from a third party site, right? [00:03:25] offsetkeyz: Right. And you can imagine that if you are someone of the age that should not be consuming adult content, which I believe is anyone under 18 across the country? I'm a little older than 18, uh, so I don't really know firsthand. Doesn't affect me, I don't have kids, but I don't know. You could get your parent's credit card and enter it in. There's not going to be any charges. It's just a verification method. You could go into your parent's filing cabinet and get your parent's mortgage. You could get the deed to their house and enter in [00:04:00] information off of that. You could go sneak out and grab your parent's driver's license, which is another form of verification that they're allowing, which all you have to do is enter in your driver's license number. And you're verified. Not only is this method unsafe, for reasons we'll get into shortly, but it's not accurate. And that is what P.0.r.N.HU8 is protesting. Not age verification. I just want to be very clear about that, that regardless of whether or not you, agree with P.0.r.N.HU8 fundamentally for what it does. It is my opinion that they're not doing anything malicious by protesting age verification laws. They are pro age verification, anti this method. [00:04:43] HGF: Yeah. And, yeah. this is just not a good barrier to entry. I can totally see minors like in a group chat being like, this is the driver's license number I use. So I think this would lead to a lot more of your data being stolen and [00:05:00] misused by minors to gain access. It just, I'm not extremely familiar with the verification methods that, Texas is wanting to see, but I think it would lead to, more data theft. Of adults to minors. Like if I was still teaching in high schools, I would be so, I don't think I'd bring my ID in the building just because I wouldn't want them to look at it. And I mean, kids, kids will do anything to do what they want to do [00:05:26] offsetkeyz: Of course. Yeah, they know you have a driver's license, you drove to work, they know it's probably in your purse. They know you're walking around the classroom. So like they have if someone wants to find an adult's driver's license this law only encourages crime. It's not put in place to protect the safety of minors, though that's how it's masquerading. It's actually trying to remove P.0.r.N.Ography from the internet, which is a crime. Censorship. Regardless of how you feel about P.0.r.N.Ography, removing [00:06:00] P.0.r.N.Ography from the internet is censorship, and we don't stand for censorship. And if the P.0.r.N.Ography is requiring driver's licenses, the value of driver's licenses has gone up, encouraging crime. [00:06:13] HGF: This is just getting so in the weeds. This is just creating so many, this is opening a can of worms of issues that we are not prepared for, and the creativity it'll take and the different avenues people will get information they need to log in. I don't even think we can conceptualize it yet. So, good on P.0.r.N.HU8 for taking a stand and pulling their site from Texas. They're like, [00:06:35] offsetkeyz: They're [00:06:36] HGF: this is too much. We're not dealing with this. [00:06:38] offsetkeyz: 100 percent and yeah, we don't want an official stance to be that we stand with P.0.r.N.HU8, but we do agree with what they're doing in this avenue. [00:06:47] HGF: Anyone that takes user data seriously, we stand with, yeah, in that instance. [00:06:55] offsetkeyz: If you're going to enable age verification, make sure that it actually [00:07:00] verifies the age of the consumers. So, what P.0.r.N.HU8 is proposing, and what they've been proposing for years and years and years, is what's called device based age verification. Most people, at least in first world countries, like, United States and Canada and Europe and I don't know, have a device that's tied to their identity, whether that be a phone, whether that be an iPad, whether that be a laptop. And imagine if Your iPhone when you turned it on, verified what age you are. You only have to do that once and all that data stayed on your phone. It didn't go to the cloud. Yeah, it stayed on your phone, which you own. But using signatures and verification methods, your iPhone could then communicate just your age, which has been verified to you. to the site saying, Hey, yeah, this person is actually such and such age. And that's all they're, that's all they're going for. They [00:08:00] want to make sure that when age verification is implemented, it's implemented to actually verify the user's age. [00:08:05] HGF: Yeah, I think this is an issue left up to parental controls and just different [00:08:11] offsetkeyz: methods [00:08:12] HGF: methods within the device itself, and it creates a whole host of problems when we have that transferred over to third party identifying platforms. [00:08:24] offsetkeyz: The other main issue with this is that Texas is allowing for third party sites to step in and verify people's age. So, sounds great on the surface, but what it actually is, is you're just giving your data to more sites. There are very reputable sites out there that keep your data, quote, secure. id. me is one that comes to mind. That's to verify your entire identity, and it requires you to enter in a lot of information. your social security number, your driver's license number, credit cards, former addresses, all [00:09:00] kinds of data that is now with some third party site. First of all, P.0.r.N.HU8 users probably don't want their entire identity linked to their P.0.r.N.HU8 account. And nor should it be! It's just videos. It's is your whole identity linked to your YouTube account? Maybe, but should it be? Doesn't matter. I should be able to log onto YouTube and just look at things. That also increases the risk of that data being captured by the wrong people. The more you enter in these sensitive pieces of data across the internet, the risk increases exponentially with every site. And so with giving third parties this power to verify ages, opens up the door for scams. Right? Especially In the nature of the product that P.0.r.N.HU8 offers, there's somewhat of a sense of urgency when consuming it. And now all of a sudden you have to go to this third party site to [00:10:00] verify your age. So maybe you go to Google and you say age verification site, and you type that in. And the first thing that comes up is an ad for an age verification site. that looks good. And so you go to that, it says, yes, compatible with P.0.r.N.HU8. You enter in your social security number. And hey, turns out that was a scam site, but you were moving so quickly that you just went right for it. And you might not even notice that was a scam site. You might just be like, okay, it's not working. Let me try another site. And you might just keep going down the line until one works. You don't want to be haphazardly handling this type of data because it can end very poorly. [00:10:37] HGF: Yeah, people aren't in the frame of mind to be just extremely discerning. [00:10:43] offsetkeyz: Right. I'm trying to think of an example of something else where this might be the case. Like alcohol. [00:10:50] HGF: hungry. Ooh, when you're really hungry. She [00:10:53] offsetkeyz: she resonates with the gong of the Taco Bell. Fourth meal is very prevalent here in our [00:11:00] household. [00:11:00] HGF: If I'm hungry, it's just like, DoorDash, order here, 3 off, da da da da da. I'm just typing in whatever. I'm hungry. Anything your human desire is being driven to act. you're just not taking precautionary steps. [00:11:15] offsetkeyz: Great example so I know certain individuals don't have DoorDash, they've never used DoorDash, and they've always been able to find their food when they need it. But say they run into a situation in a snowstorm, and they have a flat tire, and they go download, or they go to Google and they search for DoorDash and they're trying to get someone to deliver them food and what they get is an ad that is not actually DoorDash. They sign up for an account on this fake site with their address and with their phone number and with their credit card information and all this stuff only to find out that isn't actually, you know, it's that sense of urgency that really dulls your perception of these fake sites. [00:11:58] HGF: that's concerning for [00:12:00] users. But yeah, our caveman brains, the way they're wired, anything that's creating a need and sense of urgency is just, we're gonna overlook things, [00:12:13] offsetkeyz: Alright, so we've touched on a lot of how we feel about this, but I want to take a step back and read a little bit from the Washington Post's reporting on the ruling and on P.0.r.N.HU8's reaction. So this is coming from the Washington Post, likely will be one of the first search results if you even search for any of the search terms. So P.0.r.N.HU8, one of the most popular websites in the world, blocked Texas based access. To its site, one week after the conservative U. S. Court of Appeals of the Fifth Circuit upheld the age verification portion of the state law. So P.0.r.N.HU8 has previously opposed such measures in states like Utah, arguing that age gating laws are ineffective, as we discussed, unfair, and punish the very [00:13:00] users the state wants to protect. For a myriad of reasons, right? And we've touched on a few. But it can harm people in so many different ways. Let's keep reading. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called the decision a victory over P.0.r.N. Companies and denied the state's law violates free speech laws, but free expression advocates, including those in the adult content industry, Warned that laws like the one in Texas are being weaponized to censor a variety of content, including reproductive rights, resources, and queer literature. [00:13:33] HGF: That's what I was saying. [00:13:35] offsetkeyz: It is reminding me a little bit of what's going on with TikTok as well. The fact that we can ban a content streaming platform because it's owners are from a different country is crazy. And hey, actually turns out we can't ban a content platform. We literally cannot do that. All we can do is place laws on other areas around it. So the [00:14:00] same tactics are being taken with age verification in Texas as they are with TikTok across the country, as they are with Things like abortion, like, hey, we might be able, might not be able to ban abortion, but we can find the crap out of doctors who perform it. [00:14:15] HGF: Yeah. Overarching, all of those have themes of some sort of censorship. In June, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law HB1181, a bipartisan bill requiring companies that offer sexual material harmful to minors verify that its users are at least 18 years old. Companies that need to limit minors access, such as websites for liquor brands, commonly use age gating methods such as requiring a user to list their birthday. Texas's law required users to prove their age by either entering information from a government issued ID or using a third party system that uses public and private data such as employment, education, or mortgage information to verify age. [00:14:56] offsetkeyz: [00:15:00] of data that people can use to verify their age. They can use anything, any document laying around their parent's house to verify their age. Cool, very effective guys. [00:15:13] HGF: This is also, this might be getting too into the weeds and not as cyber security related, but I'm just curious. I need to look at this more. How many studies do we have showing that it causes irreparable harm to people's psyche? Like it says that right here, it says, HB 1181 also required P.0.r.N. Sites to display a controversial health warning, which the law's opponents called pseudoscientific and included language like Texas Health and Human Services Warning. P.0.r.N.Ography increases the demand for prostitution, child exploitation, and child P. It says that in the warning. Do we have the data to back that up? That it's a gateway to other illicit sexual consumption? Jen? [00:15:55] offsetkeyz: skeptical [00:15:55] HGF: I'm a little bit skeptical that we have data that P.0.r.N.Ography increases [00:16:00] the demand for child p. pornography. more you work with data, the more you realize that you can make this type of data look however you want it to look, but when it comes down to it, P.0.r.N.Ography is adjacent to child [00:16:13] offsetkeyz: p sexual crimes, and sexual crimes are adjacent. You know, Child p is a subset of P.0.r.N.Ography and without P.0.r.N.Ography, there's no demand for child p. It reminds me of a joke. I'm trying to remember who said it. But the joke is, I think it's Scrubs. Oh boy, [00:16:37] HGF: Oh [00:16:37] offsetkeyz: I'm back on scrubs Dr. Cox is talking about how They're trying to ban P.0.r.N.Ography from the web, and if they do ban P.0.r.N.Ography, there will only be one website left, and it will be called Bring Back the P.0.r.N.Ography. Regardless of whether or not we ban P.0.r.N.Ography, there's gonna be a demand for it. [00:16:57] HGF: Yeah. I bet you could skew [00:17:00] data to say that without it there's increased violence toward women. [00:17:04] offsetkeyz: Mm hmm. [00:17:06] HGF: hmm. Like, the repression creates more issues. I just think that you can skew data any way you like. I'm very skeptical that there's a verified study that Consuming content on P.0.r.N.HU8 increases demand for child p. pornography. [00:17:23] offsetkeyz: Mm hmm. [00:17:23] HGF: That's wild. That, the [00:17:25] offsetkeyz: they surveying? [00:17:26] HGF: the state is just publishing that. It's not citing, in the warning, it's not citing any specific clinical trials or studies. I just feel like we're, the age of the internet, we have access to a lot. We have access to a lot of information and articles. And it's hard to be discerning what's true or what's not, and that's why we really need to rely on peer reviewed, verified, studied information. [00:17:55] offsetkeyz: We do. Our little lizard brains are likely to believe whatever we [00:18:00] hear. And so we're going to do our part on this podcast and drop a lot of links in the show notes below, and we really encourage you to go in and read them for yourselves, not just believe what we're saying on this podcast. If you keep reading Hot Girl Farmer, you will see that the court, the Fifth Circuit, uh, of appeals denied the health label. So, So they sided with requiring age verification, but they did deny forcing adult websites to have this health label on them. Thank goodness, probably for the reasons that you mentioned, but we will verify that in the show notes as well. [00:18:39] HGF: Okay. Well, that's good. [00:18:40] offsetkeyz: I wonder, I You can spin anything, any way you want. There was another comedian that I watched the other day because of daylight savings time. [00:18:52] HGF: Yikes! Yeah, it's been kicking my ass. [00:18:54] offsetkeyz: Where, It's all about how you spin it, right? If the government came on and they're like, Hey, you're going to actually have to be at work an [00:19:00] hour earlier tomorrow, and you're going to have to wake up an hour earlier. It's going to be dark, and it's going to be light when you try to go to bed, like all these things. Everyone would be like, no, but instead the government's just like, Hey, you know what? Just once a year, we think it'd be cute if we just set our clocks back an hour. Everyone's like, I guess. Yeah, sounds great. So the attorney general is saying. This is a victory, but imagine if P.0.r.N.HU8 had an office in San Antonio, the capital of Texas, that employed 100, 000 people. Imagine that! Now all those people are out of a job! Is that a victory? You're, yeah. You're actually shutting down jobs for one of the top websites on the internet. Like Facebook is up there, Google's up there, and P.0.r.N.HU8 is up there, and you are shutting down jobs. Doesn't sound like a victory to me, governor. [00:19:55] HGF: Yeah, it just is from what angle is this a victory? With the ease of use of VPNs, [00:20:00] I, most people know how to use them and get around this age verification anyway. So I would say people that, that want to go on the site can still go on the site. You have to be like 2 percent tech savvy to use the VPN. And then I still think it's going to encourage minors to commit data theft. And so I wouldn't really call this a victory, , if you're against. this site. [00:20:24] offsetkeyz: Yeah, instead maybe work with them. They have really good ideas and they have a lot of resources to implement those ideas. They have a lot of money, and so if P.0.r.N.HU8 is willing to work with the state of Texas to develop state of the art proprietary age verification methods, why not do that? You're like actually saying no to innovation. Where you could have maybe a patent tied to your name that helps keep P.0.r.N. Out, like actually helps keep P.0.r.N. Out of the eyes of minors, but instead you're just encouraging lying, cheating, and stealing new dark [00:21:00] markets to pop up so maybe think about that. [00:21:02] HGF: This is a weird haphazard band aid that just creates more problems. This is not the solution that they're looking for. And again, no one wants miners to consume this. And I just, we really think that age verification on the device itself is secure and a good way to go. [00:21:21] offsetkeyz: Absolutely, and P.0.r.N.HU8 does not disagree either. [00:21:36] offsetkeyz: So we've covered a lot. Of our thoughts and our feelings, as well as what's actually happening in the state of Texas and with the state of P.0.r.N.HU8 and censorship and data laws. And just to recap, I want to go over what happened again timeline wise, but there was one more point that the Washington Post article makes, [00:22:00] and that is that P.0.r.N.HU8 is potentially the most reputable of sites to consume adult content. They take the privacy of not only the creators, but the users very seriously. They take complaints very seriously. They're not, they're filtering out their content so that nothing illegal is on there. They're doing a lot of good things. They're making sure that when you watch these videos, there's no way for bad actors to embed malware. They have firewalls. They have anti malware. Like I said, they have all these protections because they're the most reputable of sites. So now these measures have caused P.0.r.N.HU8 to take their services off. Offline in Texas, but what are people who are seeking adult content going to do from there? They're going to go look for other websites that maybe aren't as reputable. Maybe have more sketchy content because it's not being filtered like child p or a [00:23:00] list of other kinds of things and might be laden with malware or downloadable whatever. Like if you click on a link in one of these sites maybe it redirects quickly to something and you're infected. Making these requirements are only fiscally achievable by companies that have the resources to achieve them. Like the age verification is what I'm talking about here. P.0.r.N.HU8, I don't know any other reputable sites, but they would all have the means to implement these things. So, people who are blocked by age verification will now start going to sites that don't have the means to implement age verification. And those sites are much more likely to have malware and lurkers and inappropriate content. So thanks to the Washington Post, they, I mean, they didn't bring up all that, but they brought up a little bit of it. So thanks for bringing up that point. There's just, where's the good? [00:23:55] HGF: Yeah. [00:23:56] offsetkeyz: All I see is bad. [00:23:57] HGF: We get what they're going for, but [00:24:00] this is just not achieving that at all, unfortunately. [00:24:02] offsetkeyz: And it's actually a step in the wrong direction. So any of my Texas people who back this bill, you might think it's a step in the right direction, even if it's not solving all the problems, it's actually a step in the wrong direction due to all the reasons listed in this episode, is a step backwards. So you're actually shooting yourself in the foot. So just to recap, in June, Texas passed a law requiring any website that displays adult content to be disabled. Verify the consumer's age using pretty in depth methods, not just enter in your birthday like they do on liquor sites. A bunch of people, P.0.r.N.HU8 one of them, sues the state of Texas over censorship laws. Just last week, the courts in Texas sided with the state of Texas and P.0.r.N.HU8, in reaction to this ruling, pulled their services from the state of Texas. You can no longer access the website P.0.r.N.HU8 in the state of Texas. P.0.r.N.HU8 is pro age verification. They are very for [00:25:00] it, but they want it to actually verify age and not just attempt to censor content. And we think that the state of Texas, the government of the United States, should work with companies like this to implement effective age verification using any method. This is where creativity comes into play. We need to find a method that will effectively verify users age, not just verify that they have access to documents that verify somebody's age. And they need to work together to make sure That's what's implemented. Not taking these half assed, band aid approaches that actually hurt the people they're trying to protect. [00:25:39] HGF: Yeah, thank you guys for tuning in with us to discuss this pretty controversial, really interesting topic. This is really interesting to us. There's a lot of nuance in here. There's a lot of gray area, which is something that I enjoy to discuss. And so thanks for sticking with us, keeping an open mind, and just, we're just trying to focus on the [00:26:00] facts, the law, what's going on, and keeping you guys up to date with cyber news. And this one just came up and feels pretty pressing to discuss. [00:26:08] offsetkeyz: There's definitely some other things in the news that we're going to touch on tomorrow, but yeah, thank you for giving us the opportunity to talk about this. We threw a lot at you and that is just to get thinking about reasons this bill might be good or this bill might be bad. Whatever, you are entitled to making your own opinion. Again, we encourage you to check out the resources we're providing in the show notes and to think for yourself. Thanks so much for listening to the Daily Decrypt. Thanks for Hot Girl Farmer for being here on this, and we will talk to you some more tomorrow. [00:26:36] HGF: See you guys. [00:27:00] [00:28:00]

Food insecurity uniquely impacts youth ages 14-18 but it's largely a hidden problem. Kristen Mmari, an adolescent health researcher at Johns Hopkins, talks with Lindsay Smith Rogers about the long-term impacts being hungry can have on young people and why most programs aimed at relieving food insecurity don't help this age group. They also discuss false claims that nutrition assistance programs contribute to childhood obesity. Learn more: https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307489

AJPH's Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia had an in-person conversation with Derek M Griffith, PhD, Center for Men's Health Equity about what it takes to achieve the goal of the center, equity in men's health. Dr Griffith reflects on the importance of the inclusion of concepts of manhood, trustworthiness, intersectionality, and individual tailoring that can be incorporated into community-based and policy strategies to promote health and well-being, particularly for African American men.

We hope you enjoy this rerelease of one of our favorite episodes: Episode 123. Originally released on May 11, 2022, you will hear us discuss abortion in the United States before and after the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade. Hillary and Tina cover Roe vs. Wade and the history of abortion in America. Hillary's Story Throughout the early history of America, abortion was permitted. BUT when women began to seek more rights, more restriction on abortion gets enacted. Tina's Story Roe vs. Wade made a woman's right to choose a private issue and ensured safe access to abortion. BUT despite that republican law makers have fought to restrict abortion access in America.

At APHA 2023, in Atlanta, Prof Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia interviewed Enbal Shacham (Saint Louis University) and Este Geraghty (ESRI) about the risks and opportunities of digital innovations in public health. The system needs to be responsive to lots of threats. There is also an explosion of disruptive and innovative technologies which can help but also pose privacy risks and have the potential to fragment services and widen inequities. Also as a video on APHA channel. Music: Francis Jacob paraphrases the song "Sympathy for the Devil" by Jagger and Richard.

2023P5 Regional Editor of AJPH, Prof. Jihong Liu and Pengfei Guo, review highlights of the October to December 2023 Issues. The Editor's Corner features Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, Associate Editor of AJPH, Senior Scientist at the Injury Prevention Research Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Lately, Dr. Dasgupta was named to TIME100 Next list of rising global leaders.

Prof Vickie Mays (UCLA& AJPH) and Alfredo Morabia (EIC, AJPH) asked Barry S. Levy (Tufts University School of Medicine, and former APHA president) and Bob Gould (APHA Peace Caucus and former president of Physicians for Social Responsibility) what is the public health dimension of wars, why wars are always global, and what can public health professionals do to prevent wars and to attenuate their consequences.

For hundreds of years before Germ Theory was discovered, people were trying to find an explanation for the plagues and pestilence that followed them. As millions succumbed to the Black Plague, leprosy, rabies, and tuberculosis, there was no rhyme or reason for the death and destruction. They didn't understand bacteria, viruses or parasites. Even through the 1800s, people thought that disease was caused by the wrath of some vengeful god, or a curse from an evil foe. Not only that, but they believed that the people who contracted these diseases were possessed of some demon. They turned into vampires or werewolves.

While I don't condone the wholesale legalization of every drug available, I do condone decriminalization and treatment. The US has begun to move in that direction, but it moves slowly and contrary to popular belief, not all people are created equal. Drug treatment isn't available to all.

In this 162nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. This week, we discuss John Campbell's discussion of an autopsy report, and his discussion of drug recommendations in 2020 Britain raises, which raises serious questions about medical intent. We discuss scientific models—the good kind—and how Campbell's first video reveals the correctness of our model of mRNA vaccine injury. Then we discuss a research paper, Wanzhu et al 2023, which purports to find that people vaccinated against Covid are less likely to go to the ER, to be hospitalized, and to die, than are unvaccinated people who have a history of Covid. We discuss whether or not this is true. Finally, we discuss the role of stigma and shame in a functioning society. ***** Our sponsors: House of Macadamias: Delicious and nutritious macadamia nuts, in all sorts of configurations.

Join our Miami Trauma team including Drs. Urréchaga, Neeman, and Rattan as they dive into the literature regarding a topic that has become all too common to the US news cycle- gun violence. They will go over a recent paper from JAMA and include other important literature while trying to understand this complex problem that has been grappling US public policy.  Quick Hits: 1.     Firearm injury is the leading cause death in the US among ages 1-19 2.     For every person killed violently by someone else with a firearm, there are 3 survivors.  3.     Gun ownership triples the risk of homicide 4.     Permit laws and preventing people convicted of a violent crime from owning a firearm decrease firearm-related death and have a positive ripple effect even outside state borders. In short, for effective reductions of firearm-related injury and death, federal legislation will be more effective than state-by-state References 1.     Liu, Y, Siegel, M, Sen, B.
