The structuration of women’s menopause transition in the workplace: A cross-national study of France, Germany and Türkiye
Menopausal transition (MT) is often described in medical terms or treated as a private matter, but it also characterises women’s working lives. Drawing on Giddens’ structuration theory, this cross-cultural study explores how institutional and cultural structures influence women’s agency and how women’s everyday practices reproduce and, at times, reshape these structures in the workplace during MT. Based on 51 semi-structured interviews with worki…

How Does the Campus Environment Influence Everyday Physical Activity? A Photovoice Study Among Students of Two German Universities
Background: Sedentary time is high among university students. Prolonged sitting time and reduced physical activity is linked to a number of health risks, therefore interventions to increase options for physical activity on campuses are of high public health relevance. Evidence about the influence of the campus environment on movement and sedentary behavior of students is scarce. This study explores how the structural and social environment of two…

Monitoring this process of capacity building can help health promoters improve the quality of the process. Instruments for the systematic assessment of capacity building among stakeholder groups are scarce. The goal of this study wa…
How Older Citizens in Germany Perceive and Handle Their Food Environment—A Qualitative Exploratory Study
Apart from individual factors like knowledge or personal motivation, the environment also influences a person's eating behaviour.

In order to explore how older citizens in rural Germany perceive and handle their food environment, we conducted semi-…
German senior citizens’ capabilities for physical activity: A qualitative study
Sen’s capability approach (CA) has found its way into health promotion over the last few years. The approach takes both individual factors as well as social and environmental conditions into account and therefore appears to have great potential to explore opportunities for (‘capabilities’) and barriers to active lifestyles. Thus, our objective in this study was to investigate which capabilities senior citizens perceive to have available to them i…
Empowering senior citizens for healthy nutrition in Germany: A pilot study
Main goal of this study was to analyse how empowerment processes and bottom-up activities aimed at healthier food choices and food environment could be initiated among a group of senior citizens (between 60 and 75 years old). The intervention was set up as a pilot study in a rural community (15,000 inhabitants) in the federal state of Bavaria, South Eastern Germany. A process evaluation documented how group formation and empowerment processes dev…
