The role of whole network analysis in understanding health behaviours: A systematic review of smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, and diet
Background: Health behaviours such as smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, and dietary habits are not only individual choices but are influenced by social interactions and relational contexts. Recently, Whole Network Analysis (WNA) has become a powerful methodological tool to explore how these behaviours spread and become established within social systems. Unlike egocentric approaches, which focus on individuals' personal networks, WNA captur…
A dataset of a whole network to investigate healthy and unhealthy behaviors in an Italian Community
Introduction: The data protocol presented here stems from a study investigating the role of social networks in shaping health-risk behaviors in a small Lombard municipality (Italy) characterized by typical sociodemographic features. Methods: A quantitative survey was conducted on all residents aged 18-75, complemented by detailed mapping of intra- and extra-community social ties. Data collection employed structured questionnaires covering sociode…
Does internet use worsen old-age loneliness during pandemics? A gendered analysis of the SHARE data
Despite internet use potentially reducing loneliness among older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic, quantitative research in this area is limited. Our study addresses this gap by exploring how internet use affects loneliness worsening in old age across Europe from a gendered perspective. We adopt a comprehensive approach, considering individual and contextual factors. Using multi-level modelling, we analyse data from the Survey of Health, Agein…
Exploring Patterns of Alcohol Consumption in Adolescence: The Role of Health Complaints and Psychosocial Determinants in an Italian Sample
Adolescents are particularly prone to engage in health-risk behaviors such as alcohol and substance use, which can significantly impact their present and future lives. Our study explores the factors contributing to (1) regular alcohol use (i.e., at least 3 to 5 times in the last 30 days) and (2) binge drinking (i.e., drinking at least five glasses of alcohol in a single sitting in the last 12 months) in adolescents, in the 2014 and 2018 waves of …
Social capital and willingness to participate in Covid-19 vaccine trials: An Italian case-control study
Together with the adoption of urgent health measures in response to COVID-19, government policymakers should also promote social capital initiatives to encourage individuals to actively engage in actions aimed at protecting collective health. Our findings make an empirical contribution to the research on vaccines and its intersection with social behaviour, and they provide useful insights for policymakers to manage current and future disease outb…
The prevalence of insomnia in different Covid-19 policy phases: Longitudinal evidence from ITA.LI – Italian Lives
There is reason to believe that the emergency policy response to the COVID-19 crisis may have had unintended and possibly scarring effects in terms of increased prevalence of insomnia. The hardest hit were young adults and, to a lesser extent, the middle-aged; however, older respondents (55 +) remained resilient, and their insomnia trajectory bounced back to pre-pandemic levels
Information matters: Attitude towards organ donation in a general university population web-survey in Italy
Purpose Transplantation extends and improves lives, but the shortage of organs is one of the main factors limiting the number of transplants in Italy, as well as in other countries. This study investigated the awareness about organ donation and the socio-demographic factors associated with donation will in a general population. Design/methodology/approach In 2019, a survey was carried out by computer-assisted web interviewing. A questionnaire was…
Social cohesion, psycho‐physical well‐being and self‐efficacy of school‐aged children in Lombardy: Results from HBSC study
Within the literature on health inequalities and social determinants of health, there is a growing interest in studying how the context of residence is able to influence health conditions and health-related outcomes, over and above individual characteristics. Life context affects people's well-being in a material way, through the availability of services and resources, but also through social, cultural and relational resources, to the extent to w…
The effect of parental roles on mental health outcomes of unemployment: A gender perspective
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the extent to which family roles and settings can mediate the impact of unemployment on psychological well-being among Italian households. Design/methodology/approach Using the European Health Interview Survey data for 2015, the authors adopt linear regression models to evaluate the effect of family settings on the mental health outcomes of unemployment, in particular on the likelihood of developing depressi…
Perceived ethnic discrimination as a determinant of migrants’ health in Italy
Discrimination has a negative impact on immigrants’ health and contributes to the (re)production of health inequalities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived discrimination on physical and mental health outcomes of migrants living in Italy. Data were taken from the Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens (SCIF) survey, conducted in 2011–2012 in Italy, namely the first national survey that investigates soci…
Depressive symptoms and perception of risk during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic: A web-based cross-country comparative survey
Evidence is accumulating of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures on mental health. In this emergent field, there has been little research into the role of risk perception on depressive symptoms and the contribution of health-care resources to model risk perception and mental health. The aim of this paper is to describe the relationship between individual-level perception of risk and depression, controlli…
Discriminazione percepita e salute mentale dei migranti
Questo articolo si concentra su un tema scarsamente trattato nel nostro \nPaese, ovvero quello della discriminazione etnica percepita come determinante che può incidere sulle disuguaglianze di salute a sfavore dei migranti. È stata analizzata l’associazione tra discriminazione etnica percepita in diversi ambiti della vita quoti- \ndiana e la salute mentale degli immigrati residenti in Italia. I dati utilizzati proven- \ngono dall’indagine “Condiz…
Mental Well-being Among Workers: A Cross-national Analysis of Job Insecurity Impact on the Workforce
Drawing on 2011 and 2016European Quality of Life Surveydata from eight European countries, this paper considers the importance of subjective indicators of employment conditions in impacting mental well-being. Among employment conditions, job insecurity has been discussed as having a negative impact on mental well-being by enhancing the worker's sense of unpredictability. The idea of losing one's job brings with it the fear of an uncertain or uncl…
A longitudinal study of deprivation in European countries
Purpose – Poverty is one of the most significant economic and social problems that European countries have to face. In recent years, it has become widely accepted that poverty is a multidimensional concept and now many studies use indicators of deprivation to examine the phenomenon. The focus on financial resources alone does not capture people’s quality of life as being poor means a lack of access to resources enabling a minimum standard of livi…
Inequities in health care utilization by people aged 50: Evidence from 12 European countries
Health Inequalities and the Welfare State in European Families
Using EU-Silc data from 2005, our aim in this article is to estimate how self-assessed health and the gradient between education and health vary among individuals in different European countries, considering their contextual socioeconomic vulnerability. In order to do this, we use a hierarchical model with individuals nested in households at the second level, and in various European countries at the third level. Our main research interest is on t…
