Towards a Conceptual Participatory Framework to Promote Health Literacy in Adolescents by Integrating Self-Determination Theory and Game Design
Adolescents are heavy users of digital media but often lack critical skills, increasing their vulnerability to harmful online content. The integration of game elements into learning and training offers a promising strategy to support positive behavioural change and strengthen adolescents' skills. This paper describes the development of a conceptual framework for Dress-DIGITARIAN, a serious game aimed at improving health literacy, coping skills, a…
Examining the validity of the short problematic internet use test among adults and the link with impairment of executive functions and well-being
The Internet is widely usedin daily life. Nevertheless, excessive and inappropriate use may contribute to the development of Problematic Internet Use (PIU), which has several adverse consequences. In light of this, developing reliable tools for evaluating internet usage patterns is suitable. The Short Problematic Internet Use Test (SPIUT) is a 5-point Likert scale validated among Italian adolescents but not among adults. It has been shown to be r…
Unprotected Sex and Its Association with Other Risky Behaviours Among European Students
Unprotected sex in the past year and substance use are strongly associated amid 16-year-old students in Europe. The prevalence of risky sexual behaviours across European countries does not follow a clear geographical pattern, suggesting that simple macro-level factors, such as broad regional or cultural groupings, may only partially explain prevalence differences
When Do the Stakes Get Higher? Examining Factors Associated with At-Risk or Problem Gambling in a Large Sample of Italian Adult Recent Gamblers
Most gambling research focuses on problem gambling, often neglecting milder but more prevalent harmful patterns, whose prevention could prove highly cost-effective. This study analyzed factors associated with at-risk or problem gambling (Problem Gambling Severity Index ≥ 1) among 1060 recent gamblers in Italy (2022–2023). At-risk or problem gambling was reported by 17% of participants and decreased with age and education. It was more frequent amo…
From policy to practice
BACKGROUND: Electronic gambling machines (EGMs) are among the most harmful forms of gambling. Their widespread availability has been linked to increased gambling activity and a rise in harmful gambling. However, it remains unclear whether restricting the availability and accessibility of EGMs is effective in reducing gambling harms at the population level. We investigate those issues by leveraging the natural experiment of the region of Piedmont …
Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality,…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by…
Impaired Well-Being and Insomnia as Residuals of Resolved Medical Conditions
To explain these associations, we suggest that systemic inflammation conveyed by several medical conditions disrupts homeostatic processes, with final effects on sleep quality and behaviour
Cannabis reduction among adolescents as spillover from successful tobacco control
Vitreous finds from the Iron Age archaeological complex at Bilsk (Ukraine) as evidence of trade by land and sea
Glass from Bilsk is chemically close to coeval materials from the Mediterranean. • At least two primary sources of glass were distinguished. • Faience beads feature peculiar composition of the vitreous phase. • Intense exchange of the local population with distant localities confirmed. The Bilsk archaeological complex comprises the remains of many structures associated with an impressive Iron Age fortified site and extends over a vast area in cen…

Adolescents’ Psychoactive Substance Use During the First Covid-19 Lockdown
Risk awareness and complexity in students’ gambling
Violent Behaviours among Adolescents and Young Adults
This study extends existing research on the relationship between psychoactive substance use among young people and violent behaviour, by evaluating the possible effect of the modification of parenting in a nationally representative sample of 14,685 Italian students drawn from the 2019 wave of the ESPAD Italia survey (51% male; mean age about 17 years). Parental dimensions considered in the study were rule-setting, monitoring, and emotional suppor…
Participation in Low Back Pain Management
Low back pain (LBP) carries a high risk of chronicization and disability, greatly impacting the overall demand for care and costs, and its treatment is at risk of scarce adherence. This work introduces a new scenario based on the use of a mobile health tool, the Dress-KINESIS, to support the traditional rehabilitation approach. The tool proposes targeted self-manageable exercise plans for improving pain and disability, but it also monitors their …

Facing the National Recovery and Resilience Plan
Innovation in governance and services should be the target of the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Monitoring processes, impacts, and outcomes requires a system of new indicators that are practical to collect. Secondary data sources, their availability, and their information potential should be evaluated, and primary sources should be implemented to supplement traditional disease surveillance. This work highlights the most relevant …
Cannabis Policy Changes and Adolescent Cannabis Use
Cannabis accounts for the largest share of the illicit drug market, with a high prevalence of use even among adolescents. To tackle this longstanding problem, many kinds of reforms to national cannabis control policies have been implemented in Europe, but their effectiveness is still unclear. This paper analyses the association between selected categories of cannabis policy reforms and changes in perceived cannabis availability and patterns of us…
Shifting the Paradigm
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic management is limited by great uncertainty, for both health systems and citizens. Facing this information gap requires a paradigm shift from traditional approaches to healthcare to the participatory model of improving health. This work describes the design and function of the Doing Risk sElf-assessment and Social health Support for COVID (Dress-COV) system. It aims to establish…
Socioeconomic Status, Parental Education, School Connectedness and Individual Socio-Cultural Resources in Vulnerability for Drug Use among Students
Our results suggest that drug policies should be combined with actions aimed at removing barriers to social inclusion that are attributable to the socioeconomic background of adolescents
How do online and offline sampling compare in a multinational study of drug use and nightlife behaviour?”
What is the face of new nicotine users? 2012–2018 e-cigarettes and tobacco use among young students in Italy
Evaluation of drinking patterns and their impact on alcohol-related aggression
Our findings suggest that drinking patterns, as uniquely monitored with an integrated metric, can: 1) explain drinking habits better than commonly used indicators of alcohol use and 2) provide a better understanding of behavioural risks such as alcohol-related aggression. Environmental background also appears to strongly associate with this type of aggressive behaviour
