College students’ experiences, perceptions and management of health risks: A qualitative study in China
Introduction: The rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among the youth in the world has raised the need for urgent intervention strategies. Despite this, young adults are often considered to be healthy by default and their specific health risks are thus understudied. This research has employed the qualitative approach in an attempt to explore the lived experiences, perceptions and strategies of college students in managing health…
Investigating the population health impact of an oral tobacco–derived nicotine pouch product utilizing a three-product tobacco use population model
Background This study employed a three-product agent-based model (ABM) to evaluate the potential population-level effects of granting market authorization for on! ® nicotine pouches, an oral tobacco-derived nicotine product. Previous research has typically relied on simplified two-product models comparing cigarette use in a “Base Case” with a “Modified Case” scenario, limiting the ability to reflect real-world multi-product tobacco use patterns. …

The study explores how instructors of large-enrollment university courses engage with the results of their mid-semester evaluations of teaching (MSET) analysed with the help of machine learning. Eleven participants from different departments at a Canadian university participated in the study and conducted MSET in their courses, which were analysed for major themes using topic modelling. During in-depth interviews, participants shared their perspe…
Treatment Effect on the Association Between Outcomes
This article introduces treatment effect on the association between outcomes (TEA), a new causal estimand that measures how a treatment influences the covariance between two post-treatment variables. TEA enables researchers to estimate how interventions affect associations that characterize social inequalities. I define TEA, provide identification results under standard causal inference assumptions, and outline estimation strategies including reg…
AGT-Net: It Takes Two to Tango in Long-Term Person Reidentification
The key to address long-term person reidentification (Re-ID) in videos is to extract invariant spatio-temporal features (ISTF), which can be broadly categorized into two forms: 1) clothes-irrelevant appearance such as facial characteristics and body shape; 2) identity-distinctive motion such as posture and gait. However, existing studies mainly focus on mining either appearance- or motion-based features in the sequences without sufficient utiliza…
“I Will Exercise to Look Great!”: The Impact of Message Frame, Message Focus, and Age Label on Enhancing Older Adults’ Physical Activity Intentions
Promoting physical activity (PA) in older adults is a long-standing and crucial aspect of public health. It is essential for improving quality of life and maintaining overall health as people age. This study aims to identify an effective message strategy for enhancing PA intentions in aging population. Using a between subjects, 2 [message frame: gain versus loss] × 2 [message focus: health versus appearance] × 2 [age label: presence versus absenc…
Two-dimensional stratification of subjective social status in China from 2006 to 2021: A New Perspective on Objective–subjective Status Alignment
Social Mobility as Causal Intervention
The study of mobility effects is an important subject of study in sociology. Empirical investigations of individual mobility effects, however, have been hindered by one fundamental limitation, the unidentifiability of mobility effects when origin and destination are held constant. Given this fundamental limitation, we propose to reconceptualize mobility effects from the micro- to macro-level. Instead of micro-level mobility effects, the primary f…
Green commutes: Assessing the associations between green space exposure along GPS-track commuting routes and adults’ self-perceived stress
Habitual commutes through green space may be associated with health promotion, including stress alleviation. However, few studies have assessed green space exposure during commuting with stress levels, and none have tracked commuters’ actual routes. To assess 1) the association between commuting through green space and people's self-perceived stress, 2) whether the association is moderated by the transport mode, and 3) whether the association dep…
Acculturation of rural–urban migrants in China: Strategies and determinants
For Whom Does Education Convey Health Benefits? A Two-Generation and Life Course Approach
Scholars of social determinants of health have long been interested in how parent's and own education influence health. However, the differing effects of parent's and own education on health-that is, for what socioeconomic group education conveys health benefits-are relatively less studied. Using multilevel marginal structural models, we estimate the heterogeneous effects of parent's and own education over the life course on two health measures. …
Authoritarian responsiveness and political attitudes during Covid-19: Evidence from Weibo and a survey experiment
How do citizens react to authoritarian responsiveness? To investigate this question, we study how Chinese citizens reacted to a novel government initiative which enabled social media users to publicly post requests for COVID-related medical assistance. To understand the effect of this initiative on public perceptions of government effectiveness, we employ a two-part empirical strategy. First, we conduct a survey experiment in which we directly ex…

A detour for snacks and beverages? A cross-sectional assessment of selective daily mobility bias in food outlet exposure along the commuting route and dietary intakes
The evidence of selective daily mobility bias distorting exposure-health associations is limited. Using 7-day smartphone-based global positioning system (GPS) tracking data for 67 Dutch adults aged 25-45, we conducted paired Wilcoxon tests to compare the absolute and relative exposure to food outlets along actual and modelled commuting routes. We fitted Tobit regressions to examine their associations with three daily snack and soft drink intake o…

Background: Overweight and obesity among college students have become an emergent public health concern, which may be effectively prevented by diet self-management (DSM). The purpose of this explorative study was to explore college students' experiences and perspectives on diet self-management (DSM), as well as its influencing factors. Method: Thirty-three college students were recruited from different universities in China. A qualitative method …
Promoting Covid-19 Vaccination Using the Health Belief Model: Does Information Acquisition from Divergent Sources Make a Difference
As a promising approach to stop the escalation of the pandemic, COVID-19 vaccine promotion is becoming a challenging task for authorities worldwide. The purpose of this study was to identify the effective sources for disseminating information on the COVID-19 vaccine to promote individuals' behavioral intention to take the vaccine. Based on the Health Belief Model (HBM), this study illustrated the mechanism of how COVID-19 information acquisition …

Color Symbolism and American Dream in Luhrmanns The Great Gatsby
Luhrmanns movie version of The Great Gatsby has caused many discussions and debates in the area of literary analysis. This paper would argue that Luhrmann manages to gain commercial success in the film. While the director recreates the scenes that demonstrated color symbolism, the color symbolism suggests different meanings from the book; and that is because the director changes certain important plot in the book, which exaggerates Gatsbys pure l…
Participatory child-centered disaster risk reduction education: An innovative Chinese NGO program
Purpose Disaster risk reduction (DRR) researchers and practitioners have found that schools can play a critical role in DRR education, with many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) developing initiatives to actively involve children in DRR education programs. This paper reports on a case study on an innovative Chinese NGO school-based program focused on participatory child-centered DRR (PCC-DRR) education, from which a PCC-DRR education framewo…

Personal and Media Factors Related to Citizens’ Pro-environmental Behavioral Intention against Haze in China: A Moderating Analysis of TPB
This study extends the theory of planned behavior by taking communication factors into account to examine the determinants of pro-environmental behavioral intention in haze mitigation. Unlike other theory of planned behavior (TPB) extension studies, we shift the focus of inquiry from examining the mediating role of TPB variables to investigating the moderating role in promoting pro-environmental behavior. Using an online survey in China, the resu…

Analysing a Chinese Regional Integrated Healthcare Organisation Reform Failure using a Complex Adaptive System Approach
The traditional organised health system is old-fashioned. Rather than being completely organised or adaptive, the health system is currently more similar to a semi-organised syste m. Medical institutions and professionals operate in a middle ground between complete adherence to administrative orders from state-run health systems and completely adapting to the market. Thus, decision-making, implementation and analysis of health policies should als…

Risk factors for familial clustering of hepatitis C virus infection in a Chinese Han population: A cross-sectional study
Long-term exposure to HCV patients and low family income were correlated with HCV familial clustering, whereas blood transfusion was not the main transmission route in HCV familial clustering. To reduce reinfection from household contacts, education and awareness of HCV transmission routes and familial clustering should be strengthened, especially among HCV patients' family members, low-income families and non-blood transmission hepatitis C patie…
A Computational Model for Assessing the Population Health Impact of Introducing a Modified Risk Claim on an Existing Smokeless Tobacco Product
Computational models are valuable tools for predicting the population effects prior to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorization of a modified risk claim on a tobacco product. We have developed and validated a population model using best modeling practices. Our model consists of a Markov compartmental model based on cohorts starting at a defined age and followed up to a specific age accounting for 29 tobacco-use states based on a cohort me…
