Tailoring a national smoking cessation support programme in co-creation with (expectant) parents in vulnerable situations
Smoking prevalence and limited access to cessation support contribute to persistent health inequities among (expectant) parents in vulnerable situations. Co-creation may help align smoking cessation support with the lived contexts and needs of this group. This study documents and evaluates the use of co-creation to explore contextual barriers and needs, and to inform adaptations to Smoke-free Parents (SFP), a Dutch telephone-based smoking cessati…
The association of Covid-19 lockdowns with adverse birth and pregnancy outcomes in 28 high-income countries
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to review the association of lockdowns with adverse birth and pregnancy outcomes (ABPOs) and related inequalities, in high-income countries (HICs). Databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science) were searched from 1 January 2019 to 22 June 2023 for original observational studies based in HICs that compared the rates of ABPOs, before and during lockdowns. The risk of bias was assessed using…
Personalised incentives for supporting tobacco cessation (Persist) among healthcare employees
The effectiveness of financial incentives for smoking cessation can be further enhanced by personalising incentives. We aimed to investigate the effect of personalised incentives on abstinence among health care employees who participated in a group-based smoking cessation training, but prematurely terminated the trial due to recruitment issues. All participants (n = 31; 14% of n = 220 required) underwent group-based smoking cessation training. Ba…
Deposit? Yes, please! The effect of different modes of assigning reward- and deposit-based financial incentives on effort
The effectiveness and uptake of financial incentives can differ substantially between reward- and deposit-based incentives. Therefore, it is unclear to whom and how different incentives should be assigned. In this study, the effect of different modes of assigning reward- and deposit-based financial incentives on effort is explored in a two-session experiment. First, students’ ( n = 228, recruited online) discounting, loss aversion and willingness…
Changes in preterm birth and stillbirth during Covid-19 lockdowns in 26 countries
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Changes in PTB rates, ranging from −90% to +30%, were reported in many countries following early COVID-19 pandemic response measures ('lockdowns'). It is unclear whether this variation reflects real differences in lockdown impacts, or perhaps differences in stillbirth rates and/or study designs. Here we present interrupted time series and meta-analyses using harmonized data f…
Cigarette taxation and neonatal and infant mortality
Previous studies on the associations between cigarette taxes and infant survival have all been in high-income countries and did not examine the relative benefits of different taxation levels and structures. We evaluated longitudinal associations of cigarette taxes with neonatal and infant mortality globally. We applied country-level panel regressions using 2008–2018 annual mortality and biennial WHO tobacco taxation data. Complete data was availa…
Addressing perinatal health inequities in Dutch municipalities
BACKGROUND: Health inequities are already present at birth and affect individuals' health and socioeconomic outcomes across the life course. Addressing these inequities requires a cross-sectoral approach, covering the first 1,000 days of life. We believe that - in the Dutch context - municipal governments can be the main responsible actor to drive such an approach, since they are primarily responsible for organising adequate public health. Theref…
Covid-19 must catalyse key global natural experiments
The COVID-19 pandemic has in a matter of weeks fundamentally crippled health systems in many countries and is now threatening to cause a global economic depression [1]. This in turn is having an unprecedented impact on health care organisations’ ability to provide emergency care and on societies to provide core functions of the state. Even in such exceptionally challenging times, it is important to search for any possible glimmers of hope. One su…
Persisting inequalities in birth outcomes related to neighbourhood deprivation
INTRODUCTION: Health inequalities can be observed in early life as unfavourable birth outcomes. Evidence indicates that neighbourhood socioeconomic circumstances influence health. However, studies looking into temporal trends in inequalities in birth outcomes including neighbourhood socioeconomic conditions are scarce. The aim of this work was to study how inequalities in three different key birth outcomes have changed over time across different …
Nutritional status and disease severity in children acutely presenting to a primary health clinic in rural Gambia
In this population-based cohort of young children in rural Gambia, wasting was associated with disease severity in a dose-dependent manner. Further research is needed into strategies to identify and reach these children with effective interventions to improve their nutritional status
Smoke-free legislation and neonatal and infant mortality in Brazil
Strengthening smoke-free legislation in Brazil is associated with improvements in infant health outcomes-particularly under comprehensive legislation. Governments should accelerate implementation of comprehensive smoke-free legislation to protect infant health and achieve the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal three
Smoke-free legislation and paediatric hospitalisations for acute respiratory tract infections
Our prespecified ITS approach suggested that implementation of smoke-free legislation in Scotland was associated with an increase in paediatric RTI events. We were concerned that this result, which contradicted published evidence, was spurious. The association was indeed reversed when accounting for an unanticipated antecedent break point in the temporal trend, suggesting that the legislation may in fact be protective. ITS analyses should be subj…
A missing voice
In this commentary, we flag the importance of taking a child-rights approach in the context of tobacco control, which is thus far unprecedented. This text was written in response to the Seventh Conference of States Parties of WHOs Framework Convention on Tobacco Control held in India from 7 to 12 November 2016.While the links between tobacco control and human rights were emphasised at this conference, a child-rights approach was missing. We argue…
