The aim of this study was to analyse policy strategies developed by the five Nordic countries during the first 3 months of the pandemic from a health promotion perspective in order to identify Nordic responses to the crisis. Although the Nordic countries ha…
Non-participation in mammographic screening – experiences of women from a region in Sweden
Listening to the women's voices regarding their experiences and perceptions about mammographic screening is important as individual characteristics and social circumstances interact with healthcare and affect the degree of participation
Incidence of seriously injured road users in a Swedish region, 2003–2014, from the perspective of a national road safety policy
The reduction in the incidence for car occupants in the region may not be adequate to contribute to fulfilling the national target. More needs to be done, especially in the urban areas, where more active mobility is desired
Thai district Leaders’ perceptions of managing the direct observation treatment program in Trang Province, Thailand
Using the PARIHS framework to gain a retrospective perspective on the district-level policy implementation of the DOT program and studying the leadership's perceptions about applying the guidelines to practice, has brought new knowledge about management practices. Additional support and resources from the regional level are needed to manage the challenges
Client/patient perceptions of achieving equity in primary health care
Clients/patients perceived health care providers' perceptions of their ethnic origin and mental health status as important for equitable health care. Discriminatory perceptions may lead to those in need of care refraining from seeking it. More equitable care means longer consultations, better accessibility in terms of longer opening hours, and ways of communicating other than just via voice mail. It also involves continuity in care and access to …
Non-attendance of mammographic screening
Age and municipality of residence affect attendance of mammographic screening. Since there is one sole and pre-selected mammographic screening facility in the county, distance to the screening facility may serve as one explanation to non-attendance which is a determinant of inequity. From an equity perspective, lack of equal access to health and health care influences facility utilization
The health-promotion perspective in public-health plans in a Swedish region over three decades
The trend away from a health and medical care-based policy to a healthy public policy has taken place in Sweden rather later than in other West European countries. One of the first county councils to establish health-promotion plans was Västernorrland. The aims of this study are to describe the contents of and analyze the changes over time in the five public-health plans in the county. The object of study for the policy analysis consists in these…
Long-term follow-up of a high- and a low-intensity smoking cessation intervention in a dental setting– a randomized trial

A Survey of Pet-and Non-Pet-Owning Swedish Adolescents
The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of pet ownership in adolescents in Sweden and establish whether any gender, age or health-related differences exist between those who own pets and those who do not. In addition, the study aimed to explore the relationships between species of pet, age, gender, and other socio-demographic variables and the perceived importance of pets. Three age groups (13–14 years-old, 15–16 years-old, and 17–18…
The relevance of WHO injury surveillance guidelines for evaluation
Findings suggest that attributes of a good surveillance system, when used as evaluation metrics, cannot be weighted equally across ISS. In addition, the attribute of acceptability likely holds more relevance than previously recognized and should be viewed as a critical underpinning attribute of ISS. Context-oriented evaluations sensitive to distinct operational environments are more likely to address knowledge gaps related to; understanding links…
Drivers' and conductors' views on the causes and ways of preventing workplace violence in the road passenger transport sector in Maputo City, Mozambique
The causes of WPV lie in problems regarding money, behavior, environment, organization and crime. Suggestions for prevention include education, control to avoid critical situations, and a judicial system to assess malpractices. Further research in the road passenger transport sector in Maputo City, Mozambique and similar settings is warranted
Health promotion at local level
The municipalities have organized and developed their health promotion targets, actions and priorities on the basis of local needs and prerequisites. The three phases in the identified health promotion processes were experienced and documented as being subject to greater influence from internal rather than external strengthening and hindering factors in their local contexts
Participation, resource mobilization and financial incentives in community-based health promotion
Local community participation is an important objective for many health promotion interventions, but it hinges on the incentives for local organizations to participate. Both aspects might be explored with information obtained from economic evaluations, illustrated in this study with data from a cost-effectiveness analysis of an elderly safety promotion programme implemented in Sweden. Previously, resource mobilization has been used as a process i…
The perspectives of in-school youths in Kampala, Uganda, on the role of parents in HIV prevention
This qualitative study explores how young Ugandans perceive and experience the role of parents in preventing the spread of HIV among youths. Data were gathered from semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 16 in-school youths, ages 18-20, residing in Kampala. A key finding is that the youths perceived parenting styles as influencing HIV prevention among youths. The participants identified several harmful consequences from a lack of parental g…

Implementation of a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) tool in a regional health organization in Sweden—a feasibility study
During the last decade, Health Impact Assessment (HIA) has been discussed worldwide as being an important tool for the development of healthy public policy. In Sweden, the Swedish Federation of County Councils and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities have taken the initiative to and are responsible for the development of an HIA tool concerning proposed policy decisions at local and regional levels. The HIA tool was developed as three diff…

Effect and stage models in community intervention programmes; and the development of the Model for Management of Intervention Programme Preparation (MMIPP)
Recent years have seen the development of a number of diagrammatic ‘models’ bearing on community intervention programmes. There have been two basic types, one involving actual or hypothetical causal relationships (effect, or how-it-works models) and the other, sequences of activities or events (stage, or how-to-do-it models). A selection of such models, with their roots in different theories of social change, health education and health promotion…
The sociodemographic pattern of tobacco cessation in the 1980s
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To analyse the factors that determined whether or not people were successful in quitting tobacco during the 1980s in Sweden. DESIGN: A logistic regression model was used for the analyses and included: education, marital status, socioeconomic group, social network, physical activities, cigarette consumption, and years spent smoking as independent variables. Men and women were analysed separately for smoking. A specific univariate…
Effects of different intervention strategies in the implementation of a nationwide tobacco Quit and Win contest in Sweden
Community analysis in the planning and implementation of the Stockholm cancer prevention program
Community analysis has been the method of choice in the planning and implementation of a number of international health education action programs. Success for such programs requires information about community inhabitants, the community's needs and resources. Community analysis offers an opportunity for involvement at an early stage and paves the way for the participation of key persons and organizations in the community. The Stockholm Cancer Pre…
