In public health, truth is supposed to be sacred. For decades, tobacco control defined and promoted the truth about combustible tobacco: cigarettes kill, nicotine is addictive, and the only path forward is to quit or die. But that truth, once necessary and urgent, has hardened into dogma. In this revealing episode of RegWatch, Dr. Jeff Willett, a 25-year tobacco control veteran and former senior leader at the American Heart Association and Truth Initiative, confronts what he calls “the dangerous game” being played by some in the tobacco control movement: conflating nicotine with the deadly harms of smoking. Now serving as Vice President of Strategic Engagement at Global Action to End Smoking, Willett speaks candidly about tobacco control's unwillingness to recognize the continuum of risk. He tackles head-on the misinformation swirling around safer nicotine products and exposes how tobacco Master Settlement Agreement funds are being diverted—from the critical work to end smoking—into state general coffers. Are governments dependent on tobacco revenue? Find out!

December 21st, 1970. Elvis has entered the building. And today, that building is the White House. He's brought a gift for President Nixon, a framed Colt .45 pistol, which White House security won't be thrilled with. But he isn't just there to drop off a Christmas present. Elvis Presley has lived many lives in his brief 35 years that a child might dream of: he got to be a musician, a soldier, a movie star, the "King of Rock and Roll." And now he might be just a handshake away from his next dream... becoming a federal agent. What's going on in Elvis Presley's chaotic life that leads him to seek this meeting with Richard Nixon? And when they come face-to-face, does Elvis get what he came for? Special thanks to our guest, Jon Lowy, author of Elvis and Nixon and founder and president of Global Action on Gun Violence.

A case testing the federal government's ability to regulate potentially harmful tobacco products will kick off arguments at the US Supreme Court in December. The Biden Administration is fighting to keep off the market new liquids for e-cigarettes sold under flavors like "Blackberry Lemonade" and "Killer Kustard Blueberry" that can attract kids in its appeal of a US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decision to set aside the Food and Drug Administration's orders denying their approval. Typically, the court doesn't agree to hear a case "to pat the lower court on the head and say, 'Really good job,'" said Carter Phillips, a partner at Sidley Austin who's argued 90 cases before the justices. But, he said, "this is a court that is much more skeptical of agency decision-making than the court has ever been, at least in the time that I've been practicing before it." Phillips joins “Cases and Controversies” hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler to talk about the case and why his client, the nonprofit Global Action to End Smoking Inc., is supporting neither side in this dispute,.

Welcome back to the Cut to the Chase Podcast!  On today's episode, we have an exclusive follow-up chat with Jonathan Lowy, a key figure in the battle against gun violence through his work at Global Action on Gun Violence. We revisit the groundbreaking case involving the government of Mexico's lawsuit against major gun manufacturers.  Jonathan provides a detailed update on the recent pivotal ruling by the appellate court, reviving Mexico's lawsuit against some U.S. gun manufacturers.  Dive into our conversation to uncover the legal developments, the impact of gun trafficking on both sides of the border, and the potential next steps in this crucial fight.  Stay tuned and join us in shedding light on this pressing issue.

How can holding gun manufacturers legally accountable reshape the fight against gun violence? In a world where accountability in various industries is becoming increasingly scrutinized, the unique legal immunity of gun manufacturers, as granted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce and Arms Act (PLCAA) in 2005, poses a controversial exception. This challenges law firms and the legal industry to explore novel approaches and international avenues to advocate for change and justice in a landscape resistant to traditional civil litigation. In this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast, we're joined by Jonathan Lowy, the tenacious legal strategist behind Global Action on Gun Violence. We invited Jonathan on the show to delve into his groundbreaking work challenging the long-standing protections afforded to gun manufacturers and his effort to refashion the conversation around gun-related harm and policy as a human-rights issue. Did you know that Jonathan Lowy and his organization are part of a landmark human rights action in the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, representing victims of the tragic Parkland shooting? This is a bold move that underscores how US gun policies are not just a domestic concern but a human rights dilemma scrutinized on an international stage. Listeners can expect a riveting conversation that not only sheds light on the dark corners of the gun industry but also equips them with insights into innovative legal tactics being employed to tackle one of today's most pressing issues. Episode Rundown:    - The special legal status of gun manufacturers and the impact of the PLCAA    - Exploring the role of gun marketing tactics in gun violence    - How Global Action on Gun Violence is pioneering new strategies to hold the gun industry accountable    - The implications of gun violence as an international human rights issue    - The influence of U.S. gun policy on international concerns like drug cartels and migration    - The potential for safety innovations in firearms and the resistance from manufacturers    - A discussion of ongoing litigation efforts, including the groundbreaking case filed on behalf of the Mexican government Key actionable takeaways:    - Consider the role that international law and human rights litigation can play in circumventing domestic legal barriers    - Analyze the importance of corporate accountability in litigation strategy    - Explore the incorporation of public welfare considerations into legal practices and case arguments    As we bring this episode to a close, remember that justice often requires us to Cut to the Chase and uncover not just the surface issues but the underlying rights and responsibilities at the heart of our society. And sometimes, it's about challenging the untouchable status quos and creating movements that transcend borders. Join us next time for more insightful discussions that push the envelope of legal practice.

Dr. Derrick Griffith is a Founding Co-Director of the Racial Justice Institute and a Founder and Director of the Center for Men's Health Equity. He also serves as the Chair of Global Action on Men's Health – a global men's health advocacy organization. Trained in psychology and public health, Dr. Griffith's program of research focuses on developing anti-racism approaches to achieve racial, ethnic, and gender equity in health. His research has explored how notions of manhood, trustworthiness, intersectionality, and individual tailoring can be incorporated into community-based and policy strategies to promote health and well-being. To start the conversation Josh asks Dr. Griffith about his work on the Men's Health Equity handbook including why men have worse health outcomes but more opportunity. Moving on, Casey asks how we can better promote men's health before Josh asks how men/women can accept men's vulnerability. Next, Casey asks Dr. Griffith on escaping toxic masculinity and social media. Switching topics, the guys ask how mental health is treated in the black community as well as the physical health harms of racism. To wrap things up the guys ask about potential low-hanging fruit for handling racism issues and how everyday guys can improve their mental health.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:45 - Men having more power but worse health4:02 - Promoting men's health9:10 - How men can be vulnerable13:20 - Marketing men's mental health17:25 - Escaping toxic masculinity harms21:38 - Is social media a problem?24:38 - How men can stop bad habits26:47 - Mental health in the black community29:30 - Physical health problems of racism34:20 - Potential racism solutions38:02 - Improving your mental health40:38 - Outro_______________________________________________________________________________________________Full, video episodes available on YouTube (@SharedExps)!

Gun-related deaths are already over 17,000 as of May of this year. In 2021, they were at their highest ever at almost 50,000 murders, suicides, and accidental deaths involving firearms. These statistics are personal to me due to my experiences in the Moonies cult with the Rod of Iron Ministries, Kahr Arms, the AR15 factory, and two compounds (TN and TX) training people for civil war. I spoke with expert Jonathan Lowy who told me he successfully sued Kahr Arms. Jonathan founded Global Action on Gun Violence, a nonprofit working with the international community to stop gun trafficking and violence through litigation, human rights, and other strategies. He has been litigating and advocating against gun violence for over 25 years. He helped win over $100 million for victims in verdicts and settlements, created the precedent that holds gun companies accountable and reformed dangerous gun industry practices. His articles include “The Right Not to Be Shot.” He has been named one of the 500 leading lawyers in America for over ten years by Lawdragon magazine.

He feels the Wagner Group was “partially responsible” as they were able and are able to promise - if not deliver - security to Mali without the pressure that the UN is putting on Mali to return to democratic government, to hold elections, and to fully honour the peace agreement. US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken has accused Wagner of using its operations in Mali both to obtain revenue for the group and its leader, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, as well as to procure weapons and equipment to further its involvement in the war in Ukraine. The US has now sanctioned Wagner's Mali “facilitator” Andrey Nikolayevich Ivanov who has worked “closely” with Prigozhin's entity Africa Politology and senior Malian government officials on weapons deals, mining concerns, and other activities.

The firearm industry is, without question, a commercial determinant of health. It manufactures and markets harmful products, and companies actively compete with each other on features like round count, ease of reloading, and lethality. More civilian-owned firearms, of more types, with more accessories like scopes or red dot sights, more bullets and magazines, in more locations, is good for business, but as clearly born out by the evidence, is bad for health. In recent years gun sales in the US have increased dramatically, and the prospect of further gun control looks dimmer, as a result of the US supreme courts ruling on the right to concealed carry. You might think of this as a uniquely American issue, but firearms are a global problem, and firearm harm certainly isn't restricted to the US alone, but the US does loom large, both in terms of the harm to American citizens, but also as a source for guns that then end up in other countries, trafficked illegally, for example to Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Canada. However, even in public debates in the US, the main figures that dominate the debate are political ones, including the NRA. The industry itself has received somewhat less attention as a barrier to progress, or a facilitator of firearm-related harm, unlike for example the the tobacco industry. To talk through the role of the gun industry, the nature of firearm-related harm, and some of the challenges to reducing it, we are joined by Jonathan Lowy. He is the Founder and President of Global Action on Gun Violence, and before that was the chief council and vice president legal for the Brady Campaign. Jon has been an advocate and litigator on these issues for some 25 years. If you want to find out more about Global Action on Gun Violence, their website is here. You can read more about the lawsuit between the Mexican government and US gun manufacturers here. If you want to find out more about the firearm industry as a commercial determinant of health, we wrote a commentary in the American Journal of Public Health here. Led by Dr Zain Hussein, some empiric research on how the firearm industry frames firearm harms and their solutions can be found here.

Show Notes for Episode Twenty-Three of seX & whY: Issues Surrounding Men's Health, Part 2 Host: Jeannette Wolfe Guests: Peter Baker – Director of Global Action on Men's Health  Twitter: @pbmenshealth @globalmenhealth Dominick Shattuck has a PhD in psychology and does Global Health Work at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health     https://www.linkedin.com/in/dshattuck/         Main topics discussed: Challenges and barriers associated with optimizing men's mental health and the role of men in reproductive health-related issues. Men's mental health is important not just for men but for the health of communities. Maladaptive coping mechanisms such as substance use disorder and aggression can impact gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and the well-being of children. Part of tackling gender-based violence needs to include helping men better manage anger and stress. Barriers to mental health for men From a young age, many boys are taught to suck things up and not show signs of physical or emotional weakness. They also may struggle to find words to adequately articulate their emotional state or to appropriately label the challenges which they are experiencing.  This may be further confounded by social media in which most posted photos portray men as carefree and perfect which can leave the viewer feeling inadequate and questioning their masculinity. Today many men may also have decreased contact with their extended families and thus may miss out on many of the informal connections and conversations that have historically helped men cope with common life challenges. We then discussed some unanticipated and potentially detrimental consequences of “gender blind” policies.  For example, due to concern of exclusivity, there has been a decrease in what historically were Men's Only spaces. These closures can be costly for men who already have a fragile support system and who relied on these organizations to help them connect and bond with other men. Dominick then talked about the importance of code switching for men (using different communication styles with different audiences) and that in the ideal world we would create opportunities for men to become more proficient in the different roles they play (i.e. father, husband, employee etc) by exposing them to spaces with different audiences like men's only, couples, and mixed gender gatherings. Peter also brought up that mental health related depressive symptoms may just look differently in men. Consequently, many men and their health care professionals, may not be aware that some of the symptoms that men are describing (such as increased alcohol consumption) are often flags for depression. Next, we discussed what roles men can play when it comes to areas surrounding reproductive health and reproductive justice. Dominick talked about some of the work he has done for a task force funded by the US Aid for use in low and middle-income countries to help better define these roles. He described a three-pronged framework- men as potential clients (i.e. work around condom use and vasectomies), as supportive partners to women, and as advocates for change. Messaging this framework so that men understand that these issues are not just relevant for women is critical.  Peter also believes that this is an area in which Men's Advocacy Groups can likely help so that women are not shouldering this load alone. One of the take home moments for me was a story Dominick shared about the first time in his entire life that he had a talk with a medical doctor about family planning was when he was in the urologist's office getting his vasectomy.  I embarrassingly admitted that as an ER doctor when I am speaking to a male patient about condom use it is usually in the context of me treating them for an STD and my focus is primarily on preventing future infections not future babies. Made me realize that even in my speciality there are some opportunities. Here are links to some of the information we discussed. Mental Health Survey   Here is the article about Dominick's work and his commentary related to the Covid Trends and Impact Survey. This is an online survey on Facebook that has surveyed millions of people across the world. Dominick's study focused on over 12 million participants in 115 countries from May 2021 to Sept 2021 and found that 37% of men reported feelings or depression and 34% of anxiety with younger men reporting higher levels than older ones. These numbers were similar to the percentages of anxiety and depression reported by women. Men also reported that getting more resources on how to maintain their mental health was one of their top priorities surrounding the pandemic. Their findings were somewhat atypical because outside of Covid, women are typically much more likely to report symptoms of anxiety and depression and men are much more likely to under-report their symptoms, suggesting that COVID has caused significant suffering for men. Interestingly, it also hints that COVID may have helped some men to be more open to the concept of counseling and mental health related services.  Post-partum Depression in Men Interestingly, when we think about post-natal depression, we tend to think it is something that only happens to newborn mothers, but Peter suggests that it is also relatively common in men.  As this shocked me, I dug around a little. Per this JAMA article about 10% of men suffer from postpartum depression but the rate can be as high as 1 in 4, 3-6 months after birth. Factors that might contribute to postpartum depression in men Decreasing testosterone Lack of sleep (and sex) No longer being partner's primary focus Stress of feeling they must provide for partner and child Feeling guilty that they should be happier with their new child Postpartum depression in their female partner Again, interestingly, fathers are usually not asked questions about their own coping Here is a summary of the paper we discussed that helped a hyper-masculine profession - offshore oil workers - change their culture surrounding safety. Take home points We need more data that analyzes sex and gender differences in medical conditions. One area that Peter feels is particularly understudied is the economic cost associated with ignoring key aspects of men's health. Having better numbers around these costs could help elevate the issue amongst researchers and policy makers When we talk about mental health, as there are both sex-based biological factors and gender based sociocultural expectations that contribute to it, there are different, often significantly different, challenges associated with the optimization of mental health for men compared to women. As a result, depression in men often goes unrecognized and undertreated and this can contribute to the increased rates of isolation and suicide in men. Tackling men's mental health related issues requires a multi-prong approach including education and the intentional creation of different types of sociocultural accepted spaces where men can seek support and learn coping skills.   When considering men's role in reproductive health, Dominick shared a three-prong framework. Men as clients, men as supportive partners to women and men as advocates for change. The use of effective messaging to engage men in these issues is critical especially as to this point reproductive health has been considered a “women's issue” in which men have by and large been excluded. Finally, there is a need to bridge many Men's and Women's Health Advocacy Groups more effectively. As the health of a community is dependent upon the health of all its members, these groups share a lot of common goals and there is significantly opportunity for greater coordination.  Thanks for listening to seX & whY, Jeannette

The history of the HIV response is woven into the International AIDS Conferences. Ground-breaking science and political activism at the conferences have uniquely shaped the trajectory of the response.  Conferences in Canada have played key roles. In Montreal in 1989, protestors stormed the stage, establishing activism in the HIV response. In Vancouver in 1996, delegates celebrated a treatment revolution that saw HIV become a manageable condition. Today, AIDS 2022 returns to Montreal and also takes place virtually. But other crises like monkeypox, surging COVID-19 cases and climate change, remind us why now more than ever, we need to re-engage and follow the science.  In this episode of HIV unmuted, the award-winning IAS podcast, we take a deep dive into the breaking science being released at AIDS 2022, address important access concerns at the International AIDS Conferences and understand how to translate cutting-edge science into meaningful action. Meet our guests:  Erika Castellanos is Interim Executive Director of Global Action for Trans Equality (GATE). She tells us her story of growing up being denied basic human rights due to being trans and the difficulties she faced in accessing HIV medication. Erika helps analyse controversial visa issues around AIDS 2022, and helps us understand the community impact of the science being released at the conference. Linda-Gail Bekker, former IAS President and current Director of the Desmond Tutu HIV Centre at the University of Cape Town, dives into the breaking science being released at AIDS 2022 and translates what this means for the HIV response.  John Nkengasong is tasked with leading some of the world's largest HIV programmes as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. He talks to us about why AIDS 2022 is so important and his vision for the future of the HIV response.  If you are listening to this episode before 29 July 2022 and want to learn more about the latest scientific breakthroughs in the HIV response, join us at the 24th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2022) virtually or in-person in Montreal.For further information on how the innovations from COVID-19 can be applied to HIV, read the International AIDS Society's report.

Show Notes for Episode Twenty-Three of seX & whY: Issues Surrounding Men's Health, Part 1 Host: Jeannette Wolfe Guests: Peter Baker – Director of Global Action on Men's Health  Twitter: @pbmenshealth @globalmenhealth Dominick Shattuck has a PhD in psychology and does Global Health Work at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health     https://www.linkedin.com/in/dshattuck/         Here is a list of Peter Baker's publications including Men's Health Policy: it is Time for Action. Here is a list of Dominick Shattuck's publications Take home points Somewhat ironically even though most major health related organizations are dominated by men in senior positions, men's health is often left out of the agenda. Some of this may be due to a zero-sum game mentality in that it is commonly viewed that the only way to fund men's health is to take away funding from women's health. This isn't necessarily true, and it is important to remember that healthy families and communities are rooted in healthy parents regardless of their biological sex or gender. Men have about a 5-year shorter live span than women and are increased risk for diabetes, early hypertension, substance you disorder and suicide. Peter noted that men's health has not had the grassroots advocacy that many women's health initiatives have had. He attributes this to a belief held by many men that they are strong and independent and as they value the perception of being able to tough things out, advocating for increased health access to medical and mental health resources may be at odds with their desired self-image. We also discussed the different challenges that men compared to women may face when trying to increase their health literacy or navigate access to appropriate services. This is particularly evident in early adulthood.  During this young adult period, females often have an increased awareness of their body and health related issues due to fertility associated concerns, while for many men health related issues often fall off their radar and if they are discussed, the information may be poorly vetted and inaccurate.  We talked about this two and even three decades long health care desert where men can find themselves and in where they have little to no interaction with traditional health systems.   We then spoke a great deal about health messaging and the importance of getting the right message to the right men via the right platform. As Dominick noted, currently a great deal of health messaging is geared towards the category of men that Dominick refers to as “the low-lying fruit” in that they may already have access to a pcp and have good baseline health literacy. He feels strongly that there is a great opportunity to increase engagement with a broader variety of men by respecting their different values and tailoring messages to specific subsets using different types of platforms like integrating important public health messages into radio and TV series.  Please join us next month for a continuation of our conversation in which we will focus on issues surround men's mental health and the roles that men may play in the shifting landscape of reproductive justice.
