‘It Keeps the Connection Alive’
Despite growing interest in social media and mental health, the field lacks theoretical integration. Here, we drew upon a trans-diagnostic cognitive-behavioural conceptualisation of social media and mental health to explore emerging adults’ experiences of social network sites. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 23 emerging adults, exploring positive and negative online experiences, and analyzed using framework analys…
The Heat Is On
Many young people feel distressed about climate change, and pessimistic about what the future holds. Gaps in education about climate change contribute to limited understanding of opportunities for climate mitigation and adaptation, and to a pervasive “discourse of doom.” Here we describe a “game for change” co-designed by climate and education researchers and young people, that aims to shift narratives about climate changed futures toward an acti…
Public Communication about Science in 68 Countries
This 68-country survey ( n = 71,922) examines science information diets and communication behavior, identifies cross-country differences, and tests how such differences are associated with sociopolitical and economic conditions. We find that social media are the most used sources of science information in most countries, except those with democratic-corporatist media systems where news media tend to be used more widely. People in collectivist soc…
Trust in scientists and their role in society across 68 countries
Science is crucial for evidence-based decision-making. Public trust in scientists can help decision makers act on the basis of the best available evidence, especially during crises. However, in recent years the epistemic authority of science has been challenged, causing concerns about low public trust in scientists. We interrogated these concerns with a preregistered 68-country survey of 71,922 respondents and found that in most countries, most p…
Innocent heroes or self‐absorbed alarmists? A thematic review of the variety and effects of storylines about young people in climate change discourses
Discourses about young people are interacting with climate change discourses in ways that often marginalize the young in social responses to climate change. The resulting stories about young people in a changing climate build upon long‐standing representations of youthhood in late modern societies as a liminal, ill‐defined state between childhood and adulthood. The social and behavioral sciences have both helped produce these stories and critical…
The burden of bad news
Listen to me!’
The emotional significance of climate change for young people is becoming recognised. However, their experiences of talking about these feelings are not well understood, despite being acknowledged as an important avenue for support and social change. This article reports on a survey of 1,943 young people aged 15–19 years living in Australia. The survey examined their level of concern about climate change, the feelings they associate with climate …
Life in the shadows
Climate change poses both immediate and anticipated challenges. With growing awareness of climate change and much of their life courses ahead, young people are distinctively positioned to experience anticipated challenges. This article reports the findings of a survey conducted among 1,943 young people (15 – 19 years) living across Australia. The survey examined respondents’ knowledge, perceptions, and emotional experiences of climate change, and…
Renewing the purpose of geography education
Concerns about the decline in uptake of secondary geography education continue despite arguments supporting the value of geography education, the power of geographical thinking, and geography's critical role in preparing students to deal with complex challenges. Already constrained by neoliberal politics of disadvantage, young people must plan and prepare for chaotic futures. Consequently, young people are becoming distressed and worried about th…
Learning from “Our Relations” Indigenous Peoples of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and United States
Globally, Indigenous Peoples suffer disproportionately higher rates and complications of diabetes and obesity than non-Indigenous people. Western health interventions combined with culturally appropriate Traditional approaches can reduce incidence, prevalence, and related co-morbidities. This literature review reports effective culturally relevant Traditional and Western diabetes and obesity prevention and management intervention programs for Ind…

‘You Stole Our Future’
Exploring assets of people with memory problems and dementia in public space
With more people with dementia living at home, neighborhoods and public spaces are being recognized as dementia care settings. Further, there is a shift from emphasizing the loss and decline of a person with dementia to a focus on strength and capacity. The aim of this paper is to identify assets that contribute to the well-being of people with memory problems and dementia living in a community context in the Netherlands. A deductive content anal…
Disempowering emotions
The Future is Now
Many people perceive climate change as psychologically distant-a set of uncertain events that might occur far in the future, impacting distant places and affecting people dissimilar to themselves. In this study, we employed construal level theory to investigate whether a climate change communication intervention could increase public engagement by reducing the psychological distance of climate change. Australian residents (N = 333) were randomly …
Feasibility of community-based screening for cardiovascular disease risk in an ethnic community
SA-CHAMP demonstrated the feasibility and value of implementing a lay volunteer-led, culturally adapted, sustainable community-based CVD risk factor screening program in South Asian places of worship in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Subsequent screening and CDM programs were refined based on the learnings from this study. Further research is needed to determine physician and patient factors associated with uptake of and adherence to risk reduction st…
Tackling health literacy
Involving the target community to identify health issues as well as help to create culturally, language and literacy sensitive health education materials ensures resources are highly acceptable to that community. Minor changes to the materials will be needed prior to formal testing of hypertension knowledge and health decision-making on a larger scale within this at risk community
