Health literacy and its determinants among pregnant women in Portugal
A considerable proportion of pregnant women demonstrated limited health literacy, particularly among socioeconomically vulnerable and migrant groups.

Incorporating brief assessments during early prenatal visits, using plain language and visual communication tools, and offering targeted support to high-risk groups may enhance i…
Influenza and Covid-19 vaccination intention in Portuguese adults from at-risk groups
Psychosocial factors, including beliefs about disease severity and vaccine safety, play a central role in vaccination intention. Work-related structural barriers further contribute to hesitancy. These findings underscore the need for targeted communication strategies, healthcare providers engagement and employer-based vaccination programs to address both structural and motivational aspects of vaccination adherence within priority groups
Endorsement of the Lisbon Outcome Statement and Launch of a National Programme for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities in Portugal
Portugal is one of the European Union countries with the highest rates of people aged 65 or more. The old-age dependency index is the third highest in Europe. Longevity is a remarkable human achievement but without a comprehensive approach to fostering healthy ageing over the life-course, the burden on health and care systems and social services will increase. This issue is compounded as life expectancy rises, but many of these additional years a…

Crises social sensing
Monitoring how different people – as ‘social sensors’ – evaluate and respond to crisis such as pandemics, allows tailoring crisis communication to the social perceptions of the situation, at different moments. To gather such evidence, we proposed a index of social perceptions of systemic risk (SPSR), as an indicator of a situational threat compromising risks to physical health, psychological health, the economy, social relations, health system, a…

Striving for crisis resolution or crisis resilience? The crisis layers and thresholds model and Information and Communication Technology ‐ mediated social sensing for evidence‐based crisis management …
Do crisis evolve linearly through sequential one-directional stages that end with their resolution? Or are crisis, a set of nonlinear events with somewhat a chaotic nature, better represented as multilayer relapse cycles, that is, a series of dynamic processes and templates that evolve at different levels of analysis and can either go forward—achievement—or go back—relapses? Moreover, should crisis always move forward to reach their resolution or…
Shaping Policy on Chronic Diseases through National Policy Dialogs in CHRODIS PLUS
Policy dialogs are deliberative dialogue that gather policy makers and relevant stakeholders from across disciplines to discuss a topic of mutual interest.
