Cardiac and Mental Benefits of Mediterranean-Dash Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (Mind) Diet plus Forest Bathing (FB) versus Mind Diet among Older Chinese Adults
(1) Background: The Mediterranean-DASH intervention for neurodegenerative delay (MIND) diet and forest bathing (FB) are first-line therapies for controlling hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of a MIND diet and FB and MIND diet alone among older Chinese patients with hypertension. (2) Methods: Seventy-two participants aged >50 with stages 1 or 2 hypertension were randomly assigned to the MIND group ( n = 23), MIND-…
Wong and Higgins Respond
We thank Auld et al. for underscoring the important distinction between formal health education and health information dissemination. As a pilot program, the main objective of the Public Health in the Parks grants initiative1 was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of including public health–focused programs in park curricula. The response to our initiative was overwhelmingly positive, and in fact, we funded 5 new parks (US $5000 or less)…
Zoonotic Disease Risk Perception and Use of Personal Protective Measures among Wildlife Biologists
In November 2007, a National Park Service (NPS) wildlife biologist died from pneumonic plague after unprotected contact with an infected mountain lion. To begin to assess perceptions of zoonotic disease risk and attitudes toward personal protective measures among NPS biologists, two focus-group discussions were held in September 2008 with 12 biologists from 10 parks. Each facilitator-led discussion lasted approximately 75 minutes. Common themes w…
Park Rangers as Public Health Educators
Health education in nontraditional settings can supplement messages received in more traditional venues, such as schools and health care facilities, and can reach new populations. In 2007, the US National Park Service awarded one-time seed grants of $10 000 or less to 16 parks in 16 states to fund the development of public health–focused programs for visitors. These programs used a wide variety of formats and addressed topics such as air pollutio…
The Impact of Work-related Risk on Nurses During the Sars Outbreak in Hong Kong
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a highly infectious disease, with high potential for transmission to close contacts, particularly among healthcare workers. This is the first systematic study investigating hospital nurses' physical and psychological health status and the kinds of healthcare used-stratified by the level of contact with SARS patients-during the 2003 outbreak in Hong Kong. Nurses in moderate-risk areas appeared to have mo…
