Context, mechanisms, and outcomes of smoke-free school hours in social and health care vocational schools: A realist informed qualitative analysis
Comprehensive school tobacco policies can reduce young people’s smoking, but evidence from upper secondary school settings with high smoking prevalence is limited. A smoke-free school hours policy was tested across different Danish vocational school types with the intended outcome of reduced smoking only observed among students at social and health care vocational schools. This study examines the contextual factors and mechanisms shaping smoking-…
Measuring child perspectives: Ethical and methodological considerations on the development and validation of a self-report questionnaire for children aged 5–10
This paper details the development, face, and content validation of a self-report questionnaire for children aged 5–10, which measures mental health, school thriving, class cohesion, and social inclusion. Originally designed for a school-based mental health intervention, the methodological and ethical challenges encountered, and insights gathered can offer valuable lessons for survey researchers working with young children in related fields. We d…
Sex-specific trends in patterns of tobacco and nicotine use among young people in Denmark from 2020 to 2023: A multigroup latent class analysis
Our study highlights the importance of sex-responsive tobacco control strategies that address males' and females' unique patterns and preferences. Future research should continue to explore these sex differences to inform effective tobacco control policies
Associations between screen use, learning and concentration among children and young people in western countries: A scoping review
Background Screens have become an integral part of the daily lives of children and young people and play a crucial role in both educational and leisure activities. The aim of this scoping review was to explore and map the existing evidence on the potential influence of recreational screen use on concentration ability and learning in individuals aged 6–25 years. Methods A search of the literature published between 2013 and 2023 was performed in th…
Effectiveness of a peer-to-peer, self-management intervention for young people with depression and anxiety in Denmark: An observational study and a propensity score-matched comparison
Objective: This study investigated the effectiveness of a 7-weeks peer-to-peer program for young people aged 15 to 25 years with depression or anxiety symptoms in Denmark. Methods: A total of 483 participants (72% women) participated in the program and the evaluation. The participants completed questionnaires at baseline, postintervention, and at 5-month follow-up to assess changes in depression symptoms (using Beck's Depression Inventory-II), an…
When smoking is the smallest problem: A qualitative study of smoking prevention in Danish vocational schools
Objective: In Denmark, more students smoke in vocational schools than in upper secondary schools. Smoking-prevention initiatives may reduce the prevalence of smoking but may also introduce unforeseen challenges. This study examined the significance of smoking and dilemmas related to smokefree school hours (SFSH) among established smokers in Danish vocational schools. Design: Qualitative research design. Setting: Data collection took place in a vo…
Social Media Addiction Predicts Compromised Mental Health as well as Perceived and Objective Social Isolation in Denmark: A Longitudinal Analysis of a Nationwide Survey Linked to Register Data
Social media addiction has previously been linked to compromised mental health and social isolation; however, most studies are cross-sectional or based on convenience samples. The objective of the current study was to assess the extent to which social media addiction predicts compromised mental health and social isolation (including bi-directionality) in a large prospective sample of Danish adults. Data stem from a nationwide longitudinal Danish …
Factors sustaining legitimacy of smoking in Vocational Education and Training (VET) schools: A qualitative needs assessment
The factors sustaining legitimacy of smoking in VET schools are reciprocal and call for smoking reduction and prevention intervention efforts which consider and address social influence, habitual behavior, and psychological needs, as well as changes at the policy level
Predicting longitudinal changes in patterns of tobacco and nicotine product use among adolescents: A Latent Transition Analysis based on the X:IT study
This study demonstrates that sociodemographic, social risk, behavioral, and mental health factors impact the transition from non-use to lifetime e-cigarette and cigarette use. The findings provide valuable insights for developing targeted preventive strategies focusing on these influencing factors
Context matters in smoking prevention: Evaluating smoke-free school hours in Danish vocational schools
Youth is a crucial period for smoking preventive interventions. School-based interventions targeting the policy level and the sociocultural processes of smoking show promising effects in reducing smoking uptake and prevalence. This study presents findings from the qualitative process evaluation of a smoking preventive intervention, Focus, in the vocational school (VET) setting. Specifically, the study focused on contextual factors affecting the i…

Socioeconomic Differences in Cigarette Smoking and Alternative Tobacco Product Use Among Adolescents in a School-Based Smoking Preventive Intervention: Findings From the Second Year of the X:IT II Stu…
Background Health interventions may differently impact adolescents from diverse backgrounds. This study examined whether a smoking preventive intervention was equally effective in preventing cigarette smoking and use of alternative tobacco products (ATPs, i.e., snus, e-cigarettes, and waterpipe) among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, i.e., occupational social classes (OSC). Methods Data was from the school-based intervention X:I…
Implementing a peer-to-peer, self-management intervention for young people with depression and anxiety in Denmark
Coping with Anxiety and Depression constitutes a feasible peer-to-peer, group-based community programme that is well-received by its target group. Recruitment and retention of participants and instructors is challenging but doable
Mental health groups in high school students and later school dropout: A latent class and register-based follow-up analysis of the Danish National Youth Study
Mental health in high school students cluster together in four categories among both males and females. Students who are languishing, emotionally challenged or moderate mentally healthy have about 1.5-fold to threefold higher risk of dropping out of high school compared with flourishing students. Universal mental health interventions may be a promising strategy, particularly in the first year of high school where most students drop out of school

How can we strengthen students’ social relations in order to reduce school dropout? An intervention development study within four Danish vocational schools
The development of new intervention programs might benefit from adopting a theoretical and methodological perspective that enables a closer exploration of the everyday social practices in which interventions are embedded. Thus, we aimed to create a comprehensive intervention that worked through organizational changes in everyday school practices. Intervention programs must be planned in dialogue and collaboration with practitioners in the field t…
