How Dutch orthopedic healthcare professionals perceive antibiotic resistance: A mixed-methods application of the mental model approach
Healthcare professionals must act to curb antibiotic resistance (ABR), one of today's greatest threats to global health. This study applied the mental model approach to understanding perceptions of ABR among different Dutch orthopedic healthcare professionals. The expert model (step 1) was based on evidence-based ABR information and expert interviews ( n = 3). This model prompted the step 2 questionnaire to inquire about perceived causes, consequ…
The use of intervention mapping to guide the development of a school-based intervention to improve emergency medical services activation for stroke

Methods: Online survey in a convenience sample of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex w…
Using a theoretical framework of Intervention Mapping to inform public health communication messages designed to increase vaccination uptake; the example of mpox in the Netherlands

We explored what behavioral determinants (and underlying beliefs) related to the adherence to guidelines are both relevant and changeable, as input for future interventions. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted (Oct-Nov 2020), identifying behavioral determinants (and underlying beliefs) of university stu…

Age differences in demographic, social and health-related factors associated with loneliness across the adult life span (19–65 years): A cross-sectional study in the Netherlands
This study indicates that factors associated with loneliness across the adult life span may be understood from an age-normative life-stage perspective. Accordingly, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to reduce loneliness among adults, suggesting that a variety of interventions or an indirect approach may be necessary. Future research should focus on causal relations between factors and loneliness in different age groups, using a longitudinal …
Childhood sun safety at different ages: Relations between parental sun protection behavior towards their child and children’s own sun protection behavior
Older children execute sun safety behaviors more often than younger children, although they still largely depend on their parents' protection. Specific attention for boys in the primary school years, and for both boys and girls in the years adjacent to adolescence is warranted in skin cancer prevention interventions
