Heat exhaustion, domestic heat exposure and socioeconomic disparities among older adults
Participation behaviour of different migrant groups in breast cancer screening – palpation of the breast and mammography. Results from the German national cohort (Nako)
In contrast to earlier studies, our findings suggest that MSP participation and motivation does not significantly differ by migration status or language skills. This may indicate that information on MSP is broadly accessible through established invitation procedures in Germany. However, lower uptake of breast palpation by a physician in some migrant populations highlights potential gaps in broader preventive care engagement
Piloting a cancer awareness app across six European countries
Background Cancer remains a significant public health challenge in Europe, accounting for over 22% of global cancer cases. Mobile health applications may help to increase the awareness of cancer risks and preventive behaviors. However, usability barriers and disparities in digital health literacy (DHL) may limit their impact. Objective This study evaluated the usability of the EU Mobile App for Cancer Prevention and changes in cancer awareness as…
What can we learn from an intersectionality-informed description of study participants? Results from the German National Cohort
Our results showed that heterogeneity within social categories can be revealed by applying the concept of intersectionality when comparing study participants with an external population. This way, an intersectionality-informed approach contributes to describing social complexity among study participants more precisely. Furthermore, results can be used to reduce participation barriers in a more targeted way
Implementing a family-based intervention to promote healthy family routines in deprived neighborhoods – a feasibility study from Bremen, Germany
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children in Europe is high. Particularly ethnic minority and low-income families are at increased risk. This highlights the need for effective family-based interventions addressing multiple obesity-related behaviors tailored to socially deprived families. Addressing this issue, our study aimed to adapt the North American ‘Healthy Habits, Happy Homes’ program to socially deprived neighborhoods in Brem…

This study revealed small improvements in proximal outcome variables indicating feasibility and potential impact. However, more research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of this novel problem-based learning intervention
Leveraging AI to Enhance Qualitative Research
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming qualitative research by streamlining data management and analysis. However, its application raises methodological, ethical, and cultural considerations, especially in large-scale, multilingual studies. We outline the step-by-step integration of AI into our qualitative data analysis of two projects, QualiECAC4 and BUMPER, guided by Bengtsson’s stage content analysis framework. The first project involved…
Interventions to promote health literacy among working-age populations experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage
Background Experiencing financial insecurity and being underserved is often associated with low health literacy, i.e., the ability to identify, obtain, interpret and act upon health information, which may result in poor health outcomes. Little is known about effective interventions for promoting health literacy among underserved populations. The objective of this systematic review is to summarize the literature on such interventions and identify …

BACKGROUND: As crises escalate worldwide, there is an increasing demand for innovative solutions to enhance humanitarian outcomes. Within this landscape, digital health tools have emerged as promising solutions to tackle certain health challenges. The integration of digital health tools within the international humanitarian system provides an opportunity to reflect upon the system's paternalistic tendencies, driven largely by Global North organis…
Addressing community readiness to promote physical activity in older adults in Germany
Community-based approaches are promising to promote physical activity in old age. The community readiness (CR) model offers a structured approach to assess community capacities to address a certain health topic before and after implementing an intervention. The objective of this study is to assess whether community-based capacity building for physical activity among the elderly has a lasting effect on CR. Four communities (two sub-urban and two u…

Health Literacy Needs Among Unemployed Persons
Background: Unemployed persons are at high risk for low health literacy. Most studies addressing health literacy of unemployed persons focus on risk factors for low health literacy or correlates of health literacy, but studies on needs of unemployed persons regarding health literacy are scarce. We aimed to obtain better understanding of health literacy needs of unemployed adults by triangulating the results from a scoping review on health literac…
A Cross-Sectional Community Readiness Assessment for Implementing School-Based Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Islamabad, Pakistan
Evidence indicates that school-based sexuality education empowers children and adolescents with the skills, values, and attitudes that will enable them to appreciate their health and well-being, nourish respectful social and sexual relationships, understand their rights, and to make informed choices. Owing to organized community resistance and prevalent misconceptions, promoting sexual and reproductive health has been challenging, especially in c…
Key indicators for appraising adolescent sexual and reproductive health in South Asia
BACKGROUND: There is a need for an accurate assessment of the patterns and determinants of sexual and reproductive health in South Asia owing to high fertility rates and high incidence of unplanned pregnancy among adolescents. Health indicator sets, with a wide range of health dimensions, also support in formulating evidence-based policies. For attaining this, indicators should be developed and prioritized based on consensus and relevance. OBJECT…
Associations Between Acculturation, Depressive Symptoms, and Life Satisfaction Among Migrants of Turkish Origin in Germany
Separation as acculturation style is associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms (for both genders). Gender-sensitive health promotion programs should target separated migrants to improve their integration into the German society
Superdiversity, migration and use of internet-based health information – results of a cross-sectional survey conducted in 4 European countries
Our findings indicate the need to consider migration background and language competency when promoting the provision of healthcare services via the Internet so that information and services are widely accessible
If there were doctors who could understand our problems, I would already be better
How people in community settings describe their experience of disappointing health care, and their responses to such dissatisfaction, sheds light on the role of marginalisation and underlines the need for radically responsive service provision. Making the case for studying unprompted accounts of dissatisfaction with healthcare provision, this is an original analysis of 71 semi-structured interviews with healthcare users in superdiverse neighbourh…
Ready to participate? Using qualitative data to typify older adults’ reasons for (non-) participation in a physical activity promotion intervention
In order to improve older adults' participation in PA, preventive offers should take various activity goals and the desire for flexible time management in everyday life into account. The typology of PA participation behaviour contributes to a better understanding of the target group and can thus help to improve the development, communication and implementation of tailored PA interventions
Healthcare bricolage in Europe’s superdiverse neighbourhoods
The nature and severity of health concern, trust in physicians and agency shaped residents' bricolage tactics. The concept of bricolage enabled us to make visible the actions and resources utilised around public healthcare systems that would otherwise remain outwith healthcare access research. Actions were frequently undertaken via networks offering insights into healthcare-seeking behaviour
Making Gendered Healthcare Work Visible
Healthcare has long been a gendered enterprise, with women taking responsibility for maintaining health and engaging with service providers. Universal healthcare provision notwithstanding, women nonetheless undertake a range of healthcare work, on their own account and on behalf of others, which remains largely invisible. As part of a multi-method comparative European study that looked at access to healthcare in diverse neighbourhoods from the po…
Community Readiness for the Promotion of Physical Activity in Older Adults—A Cross-Sectional Comparison of Rural and Urban Communities
Communities can play an important role in delivering public health programs to older adults, but they differ in the provision of local structures and resources. The community readiness (CR) approach applies a stage model of change to the community level and analyzes structures and the degree of willingness to take action on a health issue. This study compared the CR regarding the promotion of physical activity as part of healthy ageing for older …
Participation of Turkish Migrants in an Epidemiological Study
Time spent on work-related activities, social activities and time pressure as intermediary determinants of health disparities among elderly women and men in 5 European countries
Our findings suggest that although stress in terms of time pressure has a direct negative effect on health, it does not indirectly influence the positive effects of work-related time use activities on self-reported health among elderly men and women. The results support the time availability hypothesis that the elderly may not have the same time pressure as younger adults after retirement
Investigating the associations between productive housework activities, sleep hours and self-reported health among elderly men and women in western industrialised countries
Although time allocation to housework activities may be beneficial to the health among both genders, elderly women have higher odds of reporting poor health when more time is devoted total housework combined with either short or long sleep duration
Changes in Sports Participation across Transition to Retirement
While total physical activity decreases over the life course, sports and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) have shown to increase after transition to retirement. This paper aimed to investigate whether this change in sports participation differs (1) between non-migrant persons (NMP) versus persons with a migrant background (PMB), and (2) by acculturation status. Data was drawn from 16 waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) incl…

Participant characteristics and process variables predict attrition from a home-based early intervention program
Assessing the contribution of migration related policies to equity in access to healthcare in European countries. A multilevel analysis
Parental involvement in home visiting
Parents' commitment to and usage of early intervention are key variables in understanding discrepancies in families' susceptibility to these services. Although the important role of fathers in infant development is widely recognized, early interpersonal predictors of paternal involvement in home‐visiting programs have been understudied. This article aims to fill this gap by regressing parents' postnatal involvement on prenatal partnership satisfa…

Implementation Differences of Two Staffing Models in the German Home Visiting Program “Pro Kind”
As different competencies or professional backgrounds may affect the quality of program implementation, staffing is a critical issue in home visiting. In this study, N = 430 women received home visits delivered either by a tandem of a midwife and a social worker or by only one home visitor (primarily midwives, continuous model). The groups were compared in a quasi‐experimental design on level of participation, implementation of the contents, and …

Understanding healthcare practices in superdiverse neighbourhoods and developing the concept of welfare bricolage
BACKGROUND: Diversity in Europe has both increased and become more complex posing challenges to both national and local welfare state regimes. Evidence indicates specific barriers for migrant, faith and minority ethnic groups when accessing healthcare. However, previous studies of health in diverse cities in European countries have mainly adopted an ethno-national focus. Taking into account the new complexity of diversity within cities, a deeper …
Assessing the Acceptability and Usability of an Internet-Based Intelligent Health Assistant Developed for Use among Turkish Migrants
The Internet offers a new chance for health professionals to reach population groups not usually reached through traditional information channels, for example, migrants. Criticism has, however, been raised that most health information on the Internet is not easy to read and lacks cultural sensitivity. We developed an Internet-based bilingual health assistant especially for Turkish migrants in Germany, tested its acceptance, and evaluated its usab…
