methamphetamine use and schizophrenia a population based Cohort Study in california
American Journal of Psychiatry, 2012Co-Authors: James K. Cunningham, Russell C. Callaghan, Peter Allebeck, Tamara ArenovichAbstract:Objective:Clinical investigators in Japan have long suggested that exposure to methamphetamine might cause a persistent schizophrenia-like psychosis. This possibility is discounted in the Western literature. To investigate the relationship between drug use and later schizophrenia, the authors conducted a large-scale Cohort Study of drug users initially free of persistent psychosis. Method:A population-based Cohort Study was conducted using data from California inpatient hospital discharge records from 1990 through 2000. Patients with methamphetamine-related conditions (N=42,412) and those with other drug use disorders (cannabis, cocaine, alcohol, and opioids) were propensity score-matched to individuals with primary appendicitis who served as a population proxy comparison group; the methamphetamine Cohort was also matched to the other drug Cohorts. Cox modeling was used to estimate differences between matched groups in the rates of subsequent admission with schizophrenia diagnoses. Results:The methampheta...

Determinants of workplace injury among Thai Cohort Study participants
BMJ Open, 2013Co-Authors: Janneke Berecki-gisolf, Benjawan Tawatsupa, Roderick John Mcclure, Sam-ang Seubsman, Adrian SleighAbstract:Objectives: To explore individual determinants of workplace injury among Thai workers. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of a large national Cohort. Setting: Thailand. Participants: Thai Cohort Study participants who responded to the 2009 follow-up survey were included if they reported doing paid work or being selfemployed (n=51 751). Outcome measures: Self-reported injury incidence over the past 12 months was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to test associations between individual determinants and self-reported workplace injury. Results: Workplace injuries were reported by 1317 Study participants (2.5%); the incidence was 34 (95% CI 32 to 36)/1000 worker-years for men, and 18 (17– 20) for women. Among men working ≥41 h and earning

Strategies behind the establishment of a developmental Cohort Study in the Tottori City.
Journal of epidemiology, 2010Co-Authors: Tatsuya Koeda, Hiraku Ishida, Reiko Ishigami, Ariko Takeuchi, Shinako Terakawa, Katsutoshi Kobayashi, Ayumi Seki, Toshitaka TamaruAbstract:The Tottori Study group, part of the JCS, presides over a community-based Cohort Study started when subjects-children living in Tottori City-were 5 years old. The social aspects of conducting a Cohort Study should also be made public, as this information is crucial for conducting community-based Cohort studies. Documents pertaining to social aspects implemented by the Tottori Study group between 2004 and 2008 were arranged chronologically. Information which is crucial for conducting community-based Cohort studies were extracted and classified into several categories. Five categories were extracted from the documents: research staff, supporting committee, recruitment, maintenance of motivation and disclosure. Implementation of the social aspects described in maintenance of motivation resulted in fewer subjects dropping out of the Study and a re-recruitment rate of approximately 90%. The following factors are essential for a successful developmental Cohort Study of children: 1) A birth Cohort Study should be planned in hospitals with medical staff such as obstetricians and pediatricians; 2) An interdisciplinary group composed of medical or psychological clinicians and researchers with abundant experience in epidemiological Study should be included; 3) If possible, an expert or widely known individual in the Study's target field should be included as a member of the Study staff; 4) For long Cohort studies, a researcher with expertise in school education should be included; 5) A support committee should be organized as an external part of the Study team.
