STI knowledge and risk behaviors among university students in northeastern Italy
Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a major public health concern among young adults, particularly university students.

Understanding how objective and self-perceived STI knowledge varies across educational backgrounds and sexual risk profiles is essenti…
Proximity care pathways and digitalization
Background Establishing proximity care pathways, including the digitalization of healthcare, is valuable for sustainable management of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Patient-Centered Care (PCC) promotion. However, new safety concerns, particularly in therapy management, may arise. The Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) “ProSafe” aims at (i) explore stakeholders’ perspectives on medication safety management in proximity care and (…
Exploring socio-ecological context and mental health of Ukrainian refugees in Italy through eco-map
MH distress was high in our sample and was associated with having stressful edges with public services and school or work in the resettlement country.

Although substantial resources have been invested in scaling COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, globally vaccine rate and uptake remained low among migrants from across many countries. This study aimed to explore the country of birth as a factor influencing access to the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adults vac…
Effects of Respiratory Disorders on Smoking Cessation and Re-Initiation in an Italian Cohort Study
The present study aims to prospectively assess the influence of respiratory disorders on smoking cessation and re-initiation. Three population-based Italian cohorts answered a questionnaire on respiratory health and smoking habits during 1998-2001 and after a mean follow-up (SD) of 9.1 (0.8) years. Out of 1874 current smokers and 1166 ex-smokers at baseline, 965 (51.5%) and 735 (63.0%) reported their smoking status at follow-up. From current smok…
Attitudes of Nursing Home Staff towards Influenza Vaccination
Seasonal influenza is recognized to be a significant public health problem and a cause of death, especially in fragile persons. In nursing homes (NHs), vaccination for both residents and staff is the best preventive strategy. However, professionals' immunization rates are far from reaching the international recommended values. This study aims to describe the adherence and attitudes of NH staff towards flu vaccination and to explore staff hesitanc…
Health Surveillance and Response to Sars-CoV-2 Mass Testing in Health Workers of a Large Italian Hospital in Verona, Veneto
Italy presented the first largest COVID-19 outbreak outside of China. Veneto currently ranks fourth among the Italian regions for COVID-19 confirmed cases (~19,000). This study presents health surveillance data for SARS-CoV-2 in 6100 health workers (HW) employed in a large public hospital. Workers underwent oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs, with a total of 5942 participants (97.5% of the population). A total of 11,890 specimens were tested …

DESIGN: Lay people from four different countries watched the …
