    Open Access•Yan Zheng, Stefanos Tyrovola et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2025

    Despite the efforts from the government and WHO in the WPR, the gaps between lower-middle-income and high-income countries remain substantial and further enlarged because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Long-term reductions in mortality and gains in life expectancy in all observed countries in the Region require the further modification of the profile of the underlying risks

  • Multidimensional integration measures in rural-to-urban resettlement for ethnic groups

    Open Access•Quancai Li, Chen Peng et al.•ARTICLE•Habitat International•2025•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 53

    Rural-to-urban resettlement not only changes the living conditions and means of subsistence of resettled populations but also reshapes their social relationships and cultural customs. Thus, post-resettlement integration measures are essential to ensure their long-term well-being. However, existing studies have often focused on spatial and economic integration measures, overlooking the social and cultural dimensions. China's Poverty Alleviation Re…

  • Unraveling Daily Linkages between Parenting Behaviors and Adolescent Internalizing Symptoms in Chinese Families

    Open Access•Han Chen, Kaiwen Bi et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Youth and Adolescence•2025•Referencias: 43

    Parenting behaviors fluctuate within families in daily life, contributing to variations in adolescent psychological adjustment outcomes. While adolescent self-compassion may help explain this link, emerging studies have primarily focused on stable differences between families and examined self-compassion as a mediator at the between-family level. How these mediating processes operate within families, however, remains unknown. To address this gap,…

  • Does Religion Buffer the Negative Effects of Economic and Subjective Poverty on Life Satisfaction? Longitudinal Evidence from Hong Kong

    Open Access•Songyun Shi, Chen Peng et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Research in Quality of Life•2025•Referencias: 61

    Researchers have long been interested in the impact of poverty on life satisfaction, as well as in the buffering role of religion within this association. However, longitudinal evidence is limited, leaving uncertainties about how religion buffers this association, especially concerning the subjective aspect of poverty and in non-Christian-dominant societies. This study used two-wave panel data from Hong Kong ( N = 1,006), where more than half of …

    In future research, the impact of mobility can be studied in longitudinal data sets by combining the GMM and MCM approaches. The net negative effect of intergenerational educational mobility on cognitive trajectory patterns indicates that it should be recognized as an independent predictor of cognitive decline

  • How Peer Victimization in Childhood Affects Social Networking Addiction in Adulthood

    Kunjie Cui, Paul S F Yip et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2024•Referencias: 55

    Research to date has rarely addressed the association between peer victimization in childhood and social networking addiction in adulthood, much less the internal mechanism underlying that association. By integrating the relational self-system processes model and the cognitive–behavioral model of pathological internet use, our study marked an initial effort to explore whether social anxiety and perceived loneliness independently and/or sequential…

  • Dynamic reciprocal relationships between traditional media reports, social media postings, and youth suicide in Taiwan between 2012 and 2021

    Open Access•Ying‐yeh Chen, Feng Chen et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Population Health•2023

    Rising social media use over the past decade has been linked with increasing suicide rates among young people. Previous studies that assessed the impact of social media on suicide have typically focused on single social media platforms, such as Twitter, and assumed unidirectional associations, where social media posts leads to suicide. Our study focused on the past decade (2012-2021) which has witnessed a rapid increase of social media platforms …

  • Psychometric properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 among Hong Kong young adults in 2021

    The present results support adequate psychometric properties in terms of factorial validity, reliability, convergent validity, and measurement invariance for the PHQ-4 in young adults in Hong Kong. The PHQ-4 demonstrated a substantial mediating role in the relationship between meaning in life and SI in the distress group. These findings support clinical relevance for using the PHQ-4 as a brief and valid measure of psychological distress in the Ch…

    School-based programs are recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote mental health for young people.

  • An analysis of age-standardized suicide rates in Muslim-majority countries in 2000-2019

    Open Access•Bob Lew, D Lester et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2022

    Most Muslim-majority countries had lower age-standardized suicide rates than the global average, which might reflect religious belief and practice or due to Muslim laws in their judicial and social structure which may lead to underreporting. This finding needs further in-depth country and region-specific study with regard to its implication for public policy

In particular, student-led initiatives have demonstrated a positive impact on students' mental health, though not without systemic and individual barriers. Factors that lead to successful implementation and sustaining of student-led initiatives are currently not well understood. METHODS: A case study is pr…

    The non-contact group was clearly different from the contact group and actually comprised a larger proportion of the suicide population that they could hardly be reached by usual individual-based suicide prevention efforts. For this reason, both universal and strategic suicide prevention measures need to be developed specifically in non-medical settings to reach out to this non-contact group in order to achieve better suicide prevention results
