Professional perspectives on roles and structural gaps in interprofessional collaboration for suicide prevention
From a professional perspective, IPC in Swiss suicide prevention is anchored in specialist mental health services but depends on wider cross-sectoral collaboration. Strengthening IPC requires formal coordination roles, interoperable documentation, and durable structures that embed collaboration across care sectors
Cardio4Cities
CARDIO4Cities is a multisector initiative that aims at improving cardiovascular population health in urban areas across the globe. Shared measurement systems are key to systematize reporting on progress and health outcomes and to provide comparable evidence across countries. This article documents the development of a global theory of change (TOC) and its evaluation framework (EF) to serve as scalable, global reference tool. It further describes …
Mental health of individuals at increased suicide risk after hospital discharge and initial findings on the usefulness of a suicide prevention project in Central Switzerland
Low to moderate levels of self-efficacy, self-management, and health literacy underscore the need for targeted interventions to support individuals at suicide risk. Positive feedback on the personal safety plan and the SERO app suggests their potential effectiveness in helping individuals manage their suicidality. Therefore, integrating structured measures for promoting self-management into standard care protocols in psychiatric hospitals and int…
Study protocol for a stepped-wedge randomized cookstove intervention in rural Honduras
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02658383 , posted January 18, 2016, field work completed May 2018. Official title, "Community-Based Participatory Research: A Tool to Advance Cookstove Interventions." Principal Investigator Maggie L. Clark, Ph.D. Last update posted July 12, 2018
Exposure to Household Air Pollution from Biomass Cookstoves and Levels of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) among Honduran Women
Household air pollution is estimated to be responsible for nearly three million premature deaths annually. Measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) may improve the limited understanding of the association of household air pollution and airway inflammation. We evaluated the cross-sectional association of FeNO with exposure to household air pollution (24-h average kitchen and personal fine particulate matter and black carbon; stove type) am…
The Relationship between Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Cardiovascular Disease and the Potential Modifying Effect of Diet in a Prospective Cohort among American Indians
American Indians experience high rates of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been linked to CVD, possibly due to pro-inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways. We examined the relationship between self-reported exposure to ETS and fatal and nonfatal CVD incidence using Cox proportional hazards models among 1843 non-smoking American Indians participating in the Strong Heart Study. We also evaluated potential modi…
Impact of a smoking ban in hospitality venues on second hand smoke exposure
Nicotine levels significantly decreased in all types of hospitality venues after implementation of the smoking ban. In-depth analyses demonstrated that a time-weighted average of the workplace badge measurements represented typical personal SHS exposure at work more reliably than personal exposure measures such as salivary cotinine and nicotine
Assessing the quality of care in primary health care facilities in all municipalities in Kosovo 2016–2023
Introduction: Access to quality primary healthcare (PHC) in Kosovo is progressive with substantial reforms that have been implemented to promote the health of its people since its independence in 2008. However, substantial challenges remain, particularly among managing non-communicable diseases (NCD) like diabetes and hypertension, due to gaps in structural and procedural aspects. The Accessible Quality Healthcare project (2016-2027) aimed at imp…
Developing Visual Messages to Support Liquefied Petroleum Gas Use in Intervention Homes in the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (Hapin) Trial in Rural Guatemala
BACKGROUND: Household air pollution adversely affects human health and the environment, yet more than 40% of the world still depends on solid cooking fuels. The House Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) randomized controlled trial is assessing the health effects of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove and 18-month supply of free fuel in 3,200 households in rural Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda. AIMS: We conducted formative research in …
