Gendered experiences of physical and mental health and occupational heat exposure among agricultural workers in the United States
Agricultural workers regularly experience extreme temperatures in occupational settings. Heat exposure is tied to numerous negative physical and mental health symptoms, which may differ depending on identity, behavior, and context. We sought to identify common symptoms among agricultural workers in the United States and explore behavioral, occupational, and structural factors in heat-related physical and mental health, with an emphasis on gender …
The MindSKILLZ sport-based mental health promotion intervention for adolescents in Kenya
Background: Young people in Eastern and Southern Africa face critical mental health challenges, and most have little or no access to mental health care and support. MindSKILLZ is a sport-based mental health promotion and prevention intervention delivered to adolescents aged 10-14 by trained near-peer mentors (Coaches). A pragmatic pilot study was undertaken in Nairobi and Mombasa counties of Kenya to: (a) assess preliminary effects on adolescents…
Measuring and monitoring child health and well-being—an integral part of the climate change agenda
Climate change has far-reaching consequences for all aspects of human society (Romanello et al. 2023). Children are uniquely vulnerable to climate change for a multitude of physiological and developmental reasons as well as because of distinctive behaviors such as outdoor play that increase their exposure to climate-related stressors (EPA 2023). Several reviews have summarized the multiple direct and indirect pathways through which climate change…
Standardising the measurement of child health indicators within global climate adaptation
El Niño-driven flooding and mental health symptomology among adolescents and young adults in Peru
Intensifying storms and inter-annual El Niño events may increase psychological stress and worsen mental health. This study examines the relationship between flood exposure and long-term mental health symptoms among adolescents and young people in Peru, the world’s most affected country by El Niño. We analyzed community and self-reported survey data from the Young Lives Study to contrast mental health in 2016 among youth who lived in communities t…
Referral of sexual violence against children
Despite widespread expansion of policies to prevent and respond to violence over the past three decades, sexual violence against children remains common globally. Zimbabwe has expansive legal and policy frameworks to prevent, and formal services to respond to, sexual violence. Yet evidence is lacking about how children and caregivers use formal referral mechanisms. This study conducted secondary qualitative analysis of sexual violence cases [N=74…
National Covid-19 lockdown and trends in help-seeking for violence against children in Zimbabwe
Lockdowns dramatically change everyday life and strain populations, which is unlikely to reduce violence prevalence but may reduce help-seeking. The three months after COVID-19 lockdowns may be key time periods when help-seeking for violence decreases drastically. Policy makers should ensure that in-person and remote services support help-seeking. Interventions and campaigns may additionally want to target adult female family members in encouragi…
