  • Parental behavior and near screen use in childhood

    Open Access•Vasanthi Iyer, Roel Hermans et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2025

    Introduction: Continuous near work activities like near screen use contribute to the surge in myopia (near sight) prevalence, worldwide particularly among youth. Parental management skills play a crucial role in guiding children's use of digital screens. The aim of the study was to assess near screen use among children and to investigate the role of parental behavioral determinants in its management. Methods: We conducted an online survey among 3…

  • Healthy lifestyle in low-socioeconomic groups

    Open Access•Liza A Hoveling, Manna Alma et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2025

    Background: Low socioeconomic position (SEP) increases the risk of health inequalities. Understanding how to realize lifestyle improvements in groups with low SEP may offer routes to reduce these inequalities, and information from professionals involved in this target can support this. Our aims were to gain insight into the professionals' perspectives on factors that influence the lifestyle of individuals with low SEP, and to identify promising a…

  • Family-related adversity and positive youth development

    Open Access•Jaroslava Macková, Zuzana Dankulincová Veselská et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Psychology•2025

    The family is a very important institution that provides relationships and contexts for adolescents and can activate a trajectory of their positive development. Family-related adversity can endanger this development via associated negative emotions, such as feelings of hopelessness, hostility, and psychological distress. Therefore, we aimed first to explore the association of family-related adversity with positive youth development (PYD), and sec…

  • Improving mental health literacy in secondary school educational professionals in the netherlands

    Open Access•Janne M Tullius, Bas Geboers et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    Our findings show that some content adaptations to LEARN were needed to address the needs and (learning) preferences of educational professionals in the Dutch education context, but that the majority of the existing intervention could be upheld. Existing evidence-based MHL interventions for educational professionals are useful as a basis for the adaptation and transfer to other countries. IM Adapt is a valuable framework for the systematic planni…

  • Improving mental health literacy of educational professionals

    Open Access•Janne M Tullius, Bas Geboers et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    The high prevalence rate of adolescent mental health problems is a widespread global concern. Educational professionals in secondary education are in a prime position to address this but often lack knowledge and competencies regarding mental health (‘mental health literacy’) for this. We developed LEARN-NL, an internet-based self-paced intervention that is promising to improve mental health literacy among educational professionals. The aim of thi…

  • Early assessment of the risk of child abuse in well-child care

    Open Access•Claudia E Van Der Put, Isidora J Stolwijk et al.•ARTICLE•Children and Youth Services Review•2025•References: 3

  • Diverging death risks

    Open Access•Yuwei Qi, Sijmen A Reijneveld et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2024

    The finding that more economic, cultural and person capital is associated with lower mortality provides empirical support for an approach that uses a broad spectrum of capital measures - hitherto rarely included simultaneously in epidemiological research - in order to understand diverging death risks. By integrating sociological concepts, cohort data, and epidemiological research methods, our study highlights the need for further research on the …

  • Biological and contextual determinants of early development in marginalized Roma communities

    Open Access•Shoshana Chovan, Daniela Filakovska Bobakova et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2024

    The RomaREACH project is a multicomponent study of social determinants of health and development in early childhood that can provide new evidence on the relationship of risk and protective factors with early development. Such young children from difficult-to-reach marginalized Roma communities are rarely included in research, and information about the scope and the extent of inequities in health and development in the period of early childhood is…

  • Culturally adapted training for community volunteers to improve their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding non-communicable diseases in Vietnam

    Open Access•Zinzi Pardoel, Zinzi E Pardoel et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2024

    Culturally adapted trainings can improve knowledge among community health volunteers which is important for the support of primary healthcare in low- and middle-income countries. Using a digital screening application can be a barrier for the improvement of knowledge, attitude and practice and we suggest using an intergenerational or age-friendly approach, with the supervision of primary healthcare professionals. Future research on behavioral chan…

  • Psychometric properties of the Knowledge and Attitudes to Mental Health Scales in a Dutch sample (KAMHS-NL)

    Open Access•Janne M Tullius, Bas Geboers et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2024

    The Dutch version of the KAMHS is a valid measure for detecting differences in MHL levels in adolescents. The KAMHS is a promising instrument for assessing MHL in adolescents in a multifaceted manner in other countries which may facilitate rigorous global MHL research. The instrument therefore deserves further validation research in other settings and comparisons across various cultural contexts

  • Social mechanisms behind the poor health of marginalized Roma

    Open Access•Andrej Belak, Jitse P Van Dijk et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2024•References: 78

  • The implementation of community-based programs in Vietnam is promising in promoting health

    Open Access•Zinzi Pardoel, Zinzi E Pardoel et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2023

    Background Low-and middle-income countries mostly have ageing populations with many unmet economic, social, or health-related needs, Vietnam being an example. Community-based support in Vietnam, organized as Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs (ISHCs) based on the Older People Associations (OPA) model, can help to meet these needs by the provision of services for various aspects of life. This study aims to assess the implementation of the ISHCs and…

  • Parents' expected barriers to psychosocial care for children with complex problems

    Open Access•Noortje M Pannebakker, Sijmen A Reijneveld et al.•ARTICLE•Child & Family Social Work•2023•References: 1

    Background and objective Even though children with complex problems frequently need psychosocial care, two thirds does not receive treatment. Various barriers, particularly expectations of barriers, can hinder effective access of care. Our aim was to assess the practical barriers expected by parents, and the child, family and need factors associated with these expected barriers. Methods We sent web‐based questionnaires to parents of a random samp…

  • Improving interventions for families with multiple problems

    Open Access•F Hornyák, Loraine Visscher et al.•ARTICLE•Children and Youth Services Review•2023•References: 44

  • Toward tailored care for families with multiple problems

    Open Access•Loraine Visscher, Sijmen A Reijneveld et al.•ARTICLE•Family Process•2022

    Several effective interventions have been developed for families with multiple problems (FMP), but knowledge is lacking as to which specific practice and program elements of these interventions deliver positive outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess the degree to which practice and program elements (contents of and structure in which care is provided) contribute to the effectiveness of interventions for FMP in general and for subgroups with…

  • The role of low educational attainment on the pathway from adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems to early adult labour market disconnection in the Dutch TRAILS cohort

    Open Access•Anita Minh, Chris Mcleod et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2022

    Mental health challenges in adolescence may affect labour market transitions in young adulthood. Policies addressing early labour market disconnection largely focus on early school-leaving and educational attainment; however, the role of low educational attainment on the path from adolescent mental health to labour market disconnection is unclear. Using the TRacking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey from the Netherlands (n = 1,197), we examine…

  • A capital-based approach to better understand health inequalities

    Open Access•Yuwei Qi, J Cok Vrooman et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2022

    The persistence of health inequalities may be driven by differences in education and income, but also by other economic and non-economic factors. Our aim was to explore how the association between single-dimensional health and socioeconomic status (SES) changes when including health-related person capital, economic capital, social capital, cultural capital and attractiveness and personality capital. We used a capital-based approach to understand …

  • Low Health Literacy Is Associated with Poorer Physical and Mental Health-Related Quality of Life in Dialysed Patients

    Open Access•Ivana Skoumalová, Andrea Madarasova Geckova et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important health indicator in chronic diseases like kidney diseases. Health literacy (HL) may strongly affect HRQoL, but evidence is scarce. Therefore, we assessed the associations of HL with HRQoL in dialysed patients. We performed a cross-sectional study in 20 dialysis clinics across Slovakia (n = 542 patients, mean age = 63.6 years, males = 60.7%). We assessed the association of categorised HL (low,…

  • Health Literacy and Change in Health-Related Quality of Life in Dialysed Patients

    Open Access•Ivana Skoumalová, Andrea Madarasova Geckova et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is likely to deteriorate with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This change may be worsened by low health literacy (HL). We performed a longitudinal study at over 20 dialysis clinics in Slovakia (n = 413; mean age = 64.8 years; males = 58.4%). We assessed the association of three HL groups with a change in HRQoL over two years using binary logistic regression adjusted for type of vascular acce…

  • Promoting Mental Health Help-Seeking Behaviors by Mental Health Literacy Interventions in Secondary Education? Needs and Perspectives of Adolescents and Educational Professionals

    Open Access•Lindy Beukema, Janne M Tullius et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Mental health literacy (MHL) interventions in secondary schools may help to improve competencies that adolescents require to stay mentally healthy and seek help if mental health problems arise. These MHL interventions should be tailored to the needs of adolescents and educational professionals (EPs) to reach sustainable implementation and long-term effectiveness. However, evidence is lacking on these needs. Thus, our aim was to explore their expe…

  • Supporting Adolescents with Mental Health Problems in Secondary Education

    Open Access•Lindy Beukema, Jacomijn Hofstra et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Mental health problems in adolescence can have a profound influence on school functioning, educational attainment and thus future societal participation. Supported education (SEd) is a potentially useful method for educational professionals to help adolescents with mental health problems in secondary school improve their functioning by stimulating collaboration, ownership, and participation. In this study, we examined the feasibility of SEd in se…

  • School Satisfaction and Its Associations with Health and Behavioural Outcomes among 15-Years Old Adolescents

    Open Access•Simona Horanicová, Daniela Husárová et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2022

    Background: Health and behavioural outcomes of adolescents have been shown to be related to school pressure, demands or unfavourable relationships with classmates or teachers. These associations may relate to school satisfaction, but evidence on this is lacking. Therefore, our aim is to explore the associations of school satisfaction with hopelessness, health complaints, fighting and truancy. Methods: Data come from the cross-sectional Health Beh…

  • How to make healthy early childhood development more likely in marginalized Roma communities

    Open Access•Shoshana Chovan, Daniela Filakovska Bobakova et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2022

  • Elements of care that matter

    Open Access•Loraine Visscher, D E M C Jansen et al.•ARTICLE•Children and Youth Services Review•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 45

    The severe and often persistent problems of families with multiple problems (FMP) call for better understanding of how interventions can improve outcomes in these families. Perspectives of FMP on the crucial elements of interventions may strongly support improvement by providing cues on how to realize positive change. We therefore explored the views of parents and children in FMP regarding helpful and less helpful elements of various intervention…

  • Stability of Executive Functioning of Moderately-Late Preterm and Full-Term Born Children at Ages 11 and 19

    Open Access•Sijmen A Reijneveld, Jorijn Hornman et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Moderately-late preterm-born children (MLPs, 32-36 weeks gestational age, GA) have poorer executive functioning (EF) at primary school age than full-term children (FTs). Evidence is lacking on their EF in adolescence, but for early preterm-born children, this has been shown to be much poorer. We, therefore, compared EF of MLPs and FTs at ages 11 and 19 and assessed development between these ages. We obtained data from TRAILS, a community-based pr…

  • Higher prevalence of mental disorders in socioeconomically deprived urban areas in The Netherlands

    Sijmen A Reijneveld, Aart H Schene•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•1998•Cited by: 32•References: 40

    OBJECTIVE: Major mental disorders occur more frequently in deprived urban areas. This study examines whether this occurs for all mental disorders, including less serious ones. It further assesses whether such a concentration can be explained by the socioeconomic status (SES) of the residents concerned or that a cumulation of problems in deprived areas reinforces their occurrence. DESIGN: Mental disorders were assessed by means of the General Heal…

  • Neighbourhood socioeconomic context and self reported health and smoking

    Sijmen A Reijneveld•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2002•Cited by: 26•References: 29

    Objective: Many studies have shown that poor health status and harmful health behaviour occur more frequently in deprived neighbourhoods. Most studies show modest associations between area level socioeconomic factors, the neighbourhood context, and health outcomes. However, estimates for the contextual effects vary. It is unclear if this variation is attributable to differences in methodology. This study examines whether contextual neighbourhood …

    Editor,—With much interest, I read the review of Pickett and Pearl regarding the effect of neighbourhood socioeconomic level on health outcomes.1 They conclude that there is fairly consistent evidence for modest neighbourhood effects on health, because 23 of the 25 reviewed studies report a statistically significant association between at least one measure of social environment and a health outcome, after adjusting for individual level socioecono…

  • Neighbourhood socioeconomic context and self reported health and smoking

    Sijmen A Reijneveld•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2002•Cited by: 26•References: 29

    Objective: Many studies have shown that poor health status and harmful health behaviour occur more frequently in deprived neighbourhoods. Most studies show modest associations between area level socioeconomic factors, the neighbourhood context, and health outcomes. However, estimates for the contextual effects vary. It is unclear if this variation is attributable to differences in methodology. This study examines whether contextual neighbourhood …

  • Age in epidemiological analysis

    Sijmen A Reijneveld•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2003•References: 7

    It still merits attention Analyses by age are among the most widely used tools from the epidemiological toolbox. They are mostly used to adjust for confounding (as a result of age) or to assess effect modification. The epidemiologist generally handles age in two ways: as a continuous variable, or as a categorised variable by combining a number of adjacent ages into a joint category. When looking at age as a continuous variable, standard epidemiol…

  • Promotion of health and physical activity improves the mental health of elderly immigrants

    Sijmen A Reijneveld, M H Westhoff et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2003•Cited by: 2•References: 21

    Objectives: Older immigrants from non-industrialised countries are a growing group, they have comparatively many health problems and are often hard to reach through health promotion and other preventive services. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a short health education and physical exercise programme on the health and the physical activity of Turkish first generation elderly immigrants. Design: Randomised controlled trial. Setti…

  • Continuous admission to primary school and mental health problems

    Open Access•Sijmen A Reijneveld, Carin H Wiefferink et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2006

    Continuous admission to primary school does not prevent mental health problems among young children, but may do so at older ages. Its potential for the prevention of mental problems deserves further study

  • Use of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist for the detection of psychosocial problems in preventive child healthcare

    Open Access•Sijmen A Reijneveld, A G C Vogels et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2006

    The PSC is also useful for the early detection of psychosocial problems in preventive child healthcare outside the USA, especially with an adjusted cut-off

  • Influence of parental employment status on Dutch and Slovak adolescents' health

    Open Access•Maria Sleskova, Mária Bačíková-Slešková et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2006

    To conclude briefly our results, father's unemployment seems to be a better predictor of health for Slovak adolescents, father's disablement of health for Dutch ones. Mother's employment status seemed to be important for the self-esteem of Slovak adolescents and mother as a housewife for the health of Dutch ones. This suggests that the link between parental employment status and the health of their children may vary between countries, and therefo…

  • Social inequalities in changes in health-related behaviour among Slovak adolescents aged between 15 and 19

    Open Access•Ferdinand Salonna, Jitse P Van Dijk et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2008

    We confirmed an increase in unhealthy health-related behaviour during adolescence. This increase was related to socioeconomic position, and was more apparent in females

  • Parents' concerns about children are highly prevalent but often not confirmed by child doctors and nurses

    Open Access•Sijmen A Reijneveld, Gea de Meer et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2008

    A very large proportion of parents of young children have concerns regarding their child, but agreement on these concerns with child health professionals is relatively low

  • A comparison of four scoring methods based on the parent-rated Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire as used in the Dutch preventive child health care system

    Open Access•Mathilde R Crone, A G C Vogels et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2008

    The SDQ is a valid tool for the identification of psychosocial problems by PCH. As a first step, the use of a simple classification based on the SDQ TDS is recommended

  • Psychological and behavioural factors associated with sexual risk behaviour among Slovak students

    Open Access•Ondrej Kalina, Andrea Madarasova Geckova et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2009

    Results suggest that behavioural factors are more closely related to SRB than psychological factors. Associations differ by type of SRB and gender but offer few clues to target risk groups for inconsistent condom use. Results show a high need for health-promotion programmes in early adolescence that target SRB in conjunction with other health risk behaviours such as alcohol abuse

  • Comparing three short questionnaires to detect psychosocial dysfunction among primary school children

    Open Access•Antonius G C Vogels, Antonius GC Vogels et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2009

    This randomized comparison of three questionnaires shows that each of the three questionnaires can improve the detection of psychosocial dysfunction among children substantially

  • Gender differences in the association between pre-adolescent smoking initiation and emotional or behavioural problems

    Open Access•Gea de Meer, Mathilde R Crone et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2010

    Pre-adolescent girls more frequently smoke if having attention problems, delinquent behaviour, or thought problems

  • Factors associated with educational aspirations among adolescents

    Open Access•Andrea Madarasova Geckova, Peter Tavel et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2010

    Characteristics of the school environment, the family and the individual adolescent are all associated with the level of educational aspiration, but in a different way for different educational tracks. Interventions aimed at reducing socioeconomic inequalities in health via the educational system should, therefore, take this variation and the rather pivotal role of the father into account
