Navigating Stigma and Support
‘They Are Not Mental?!’ (TANM) is a peer educational intervention aimed at supporting migrant informal caregivers of people with mental illness. In the short term, the intervention focuses on promoting openness about mental health, increasing understanding of mental illness and caregiver support, and fostering trust with the healthcare sector. This study examined whether stakeholders perceived changes in these short-term outcomes and which interv…
Exploring peer education for migrant informal caregivers of mentally ill loved ones
Introduction: Informal caregivers with a migration background who care for someone with a mental illness often experience elevated caregiver burdens due to factors such as discrimination, language barriers, and stigma. In The Netherlands, a peer education intervention called 'They Are not Mental?!' (TANM) addresses these challenges by reducing stigma, increasing help-seeking behaviors, and improving access to healthcare. This transdisciplinary st…

Views of older Surinamese adults in the Netherlands about neighbourhood age-friendliness and well-being realisation
In the western world, the ageing population is becoming more ethnically diverse. Research has shown the importance of physical and social neighbourhood resources for the well-being realisation of older adults. However, the relative importance of neighbourhood resources for the well-being realisation of older Surinamese adults remains unknown. We conducted a Q-methodology study in April–July 2022 to capture the variety of viewpoints of older adult…
Are neighbourhoods age-friendly? Experiences of older Surinamese adults in the Netherlands during the Covid-19 pandemic
Older Surinamese adults in the Netherlands have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. The ability to provide support in response to older adults’ needs contributes to the age-friendliness of neighbourhoods and may be especially important during public health emergencies such as a pandemic. In this study, older Surinamese adults’ experience of neighbourhood age-friendliness, as indicator of a vital city, in general and during the COVID-19 …
Do you consider human behaviour to be stable or malleable? Your answer can influence your preferences for policy instruments
Government officials can have a disposition to conceptualise the behaviour of policy target groups as stable, malleable, or something in-between. This paper hypothesizes these conceptualisations to influence preferences for policy instruments: Officials seeing behaviour to be more stable are hypothesised to prefer enforcement when aiming to change behaviour, whereas officials assuming behaviour to be more malleable are hypothesised to prefer info…
Health behaviours and well-being among older adults with a Surinamese migration background in the Netherlands
This study suggests that next to traditional health behaviours also social activity is an essential health behaviour for the well-being of older Surinamese adults. Research about health promotion should expand its focus by including social activity as health behaviour
Exploring the intersectionality of family SES and gender with psychosocial, behavioural and environmental correlates of physical activity in Dutch adolescents
This study identified several psychosocial, behavioural and environmental factors that can be targeted to potentially increase adolescent's PA. We also found that correlates of PA differed according to the intersection of gender and family SES. Our findings suggest that PA interventions should be tailored according to gender and SES to address the specific needs, barriers and facilitators of different subgroups
Call first, pay later
Debtors were stimulated to contact their creditors to negotiate a repayment plan. Contacting creditors was important because debtors were unlikely to repay the debt immediately and upon contacting, debtors could agree on a repayment plan to repay the debt in the long run. Using insights from scarcity theory and nudging techniques, a standard debt repayment letter was adapted and both letters were compared. Experimental results ( N = 3,330) provid…
Nudging is Ineffective When Attitudes Are Unsupportive
For security reasons, employees of a Dutch local government department needed to wear an identifying lanyard with their employee badge, but compliance with this policy was low. Two nudges to increase compliance were evaluated in a pre-registered natural field experiment using a pre-post design, and a qualitative survey. Bayesian inference provides insufficient support for the effectiveness of the nudges. While more respondents judged the nudges a…

Developing social marketed individual preconception care consultations
AIMS: Preconception care (PCC) is care that aims to improve the health of offspring by addressing risk factors in the pre-pregnancy period. Consultations are recognized as a method to promote perinatal health. However, prospective parents underutilize PCC services. Uptake can improve if delivery approaches satisfy consumer preferences. Aim of this study was to identify preferences of women (consumers) as a first step to social marketed individual…
Ethnicity and Language Proficiency Differences in the Provision of and Intention to Use Prenatal Screening for Down’s Syndrome and Congenital Anomalies. A Prospective, Non-selected, Register-Based Stu…
Objective We aimed to conduct an analysis of the associations between the information provision procedure of prenatal screening for Down's syndrome and congenital anomalies and the intention to participate in prenatal screening (PS) of ethnicity groups and Dutch language proficiency groups. Design Using a prospective web-based registration form, we asked counselors (midwives, general practitioners, nurses and gynecologists) to report whether and …
Analysis of policy towards improvement of perinatal mortality in the Netherlands (2004-2011)
An instrument for broadened risk assessment in antenatal health care including non-medical issues
The resulting score card is a universal risk screening instrument which incorporates recent evidence on non-medical risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes and enables systematic risk management in an integrated antenatal health care setting
Nudges” to Prevent Behavioral Risk Factors Associated With Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder—colloquially called “depression”—is a primary global cause of disability. Current preventive interventions, such as problem-solving therapy, are effective but also expensive. “Nudges” are easy and cheap interventions for altering behavior. We have explored how nudging can reduce three behavioral risk factors of depression: low levels of physical activity, inappropriate coping mechanisms, and inadequate maintenance of soc…
The Dutch national summit on preconception care
Reproductive health peer education for multicultural target groups
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the characteristics of the participants and the success of the recruitment methods and increase in knowledge of participants in reproductive health peer education. Dutch perinatal mortality rates are relatively high compared to other European countries. Non-Western ethnic minorities show particularly adverse outcomes. They seem to have low health literacy and less access to health care. Design/metho…
Social deprivation and adverse perinatal outcomes among Western and non-Western pregnant women in a Dutch urban population
Bridging Between Professionals in Perinatal Care
An Urban Perinatal Health Programme of Strategies to Improve Perinatal Health
Promotion of a healthy pregnancy is a top priority of the health care policy in many European countries. Perinatal mortality is an important indicator of the success of this policy. Recently, it was shown that the Netherlands has relatively high perinatal death rates when compared to other European countries. This is in particular true for large cities where perinatal mortality rates are 20-50% higher than elsewhere. Consequently in the Netherlan…
Ethnic background and differences in health care use
For all health services, health disparities among all four major immigrant groups in the Netherlands translate into utilisation disparities, aggravated by lack of language competence. The resulting pattern of systematic lower health services utilisation of elderly immigrants is a challenge for health care providers and policy makers
