Sexual Violence Against University Students in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sexual violence (SV) is pervasive on university campuses worldwide, with alarmingly high reported rates in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite the high reported rates of SV victimization on campuses, existing evidence has not been critically synthesized to give a comprehensive picture of the problem’s extent, common forms, risk factors, and (knowledge about) victims and perpetrators in SSA countries. We aimed to map the existing literature on SV pr…
Unequal distributional change in body mass index among pre-pregnant women and their male partners in northern Sweden
The study revealed weight gain inequalities, with higher BMI segments experiencing a disproportionately higher rise compared to others. Identifying high-risk groups in vulnerable settings will better equip decision-makers to design and implement targeted intervention strategies to reduce overweight and obesity
Psychological wellbeing among carers of children and adolescents with physical disabilities in North-Eastern Tanzania—a cross-sectional survey study
Introduction: Caring for physically disabled children, particularly in contexts where resources are often insufficient or absent, exposes primary carers to significant psychological strain. The lack of structured mechanisms to address this psychological burden poses a considerable threat to the wellbeing of both carers and the children with disabilities under their care. However, research on the psychological wellbeing of carers in Tanzania is sc…
Adaptive adjustment to the needs of families caring for children and adolescents with physical disabilities in north-eastern Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Family interactions, which are always multi-faceted, are complicated further by family members with disabilities. In resource-poor settings, policies and programmes that address the needs of and challenges faced by families are often inaccessible or unavailable. Approximately 13% of the families in Tanzania have at least one member with a disability, yet family-centred research on caring for disabled children and adolescents is scarce…
Social inequalities in social-emotional problems among preschool children
BACKGROUND: Social-emotional ability is important for overall health and wellbeing in early childhood. Recognizing preschool children in need of extra support, especially those living in unfavourable conditions, can have immediate positive effects on their health and benefit their wellbeing in the long-term. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are social inequalities in preschool children's social-emotional problems,…
Multifaceted determinants of social-emotional problems in preschool children in Sweden
Social-emotional problems occurring early in life can place children at future risk of adverse health, social and economic outcomes. Determinants of social-emotional problems are multi-layered and originate from different contexts surrounding children, though few studies consider them simultaneously. We adopted a holistic approach by using Bronfenbrenner's process-person-context-time model as a structuring device. We aimed to assess what characte…
Abnormal birth weights for gestational age in relation to maternal characteristics in Sweden
The main findings suggest that multiparity, maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity are strong determinants for LGA babies. Public health interventions should address modifiable risk factors, especially maternal overweight and obesity. These findings suggest that overweight and obesity is an emerging public health threat for newborn health. This might also result in the intergenerational transfer of overweight and obesity. These are importa…
You Are By No Means Alone
Online peer-to-peer communities provide environments in which people with similar health concerns can interact and exchange information that can support self-care of long-term conditions. However, current theories have not adequately accounted for how self-care support is enacted in online communities. We conducted an observational netnography to identify and analyze posts in a publicly accessible online community (discussion forum boards) design…
Social-Emotional Problems Among 3-Year-Olds Are Associated With an Unhealthy Lifestyle
Introduction: Little attention has been paid to the association between preschool children's social-emotional problems and lifestyle at the population level. Objective: This study aimed to overcome this knowledge gap by investigating to what extent children's social-emotional problems are associated with their lifestyle and if there are any gender differences. Methods: This cross-sectional, population-based study used data from the regional Salut…
The equity impact of a universal child health promotion programme
Background Real-world evaluations of complex interventions are scarce. We evaluated the effect of the Salut Programme, a universal child health promotion intervention in northern Sweden, on income-related inequalities in positive birth outcomes and healthcare utilisation up to 2 years after delivery. Methods Using the mother’s place of residence at delivery, the child and the mother were classified as belonging to either the control area (receive…
Associations between toddlers’ and parents’ BMI, in relation to family socio-demography
High BMI is common even in toddlers in this population. The risk increases if one parent is overweight, and it increases even more if both parents are overweight. The results in this study confirm the importance of considering familial risk factors when examining child health and BMI at ordinary child health care visits already at an early age
A population-based study of overweight and obesity in expectant parents
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in expectant parents was high, with a clear social gradient, and a minority of couples reported both partners with a healthy weight at the onset of pregnancy. Partner influence on health and health behaviours, and the role both mothers and fathers play in health outcomes of their offspring, underpin the need for a more holistic and gender inclusive approach to the delivery of pregnancy care and postnatal a…
Improving child health promotion practices in multiple sectors – outcomes of the Swedish Salut Programme
This multisectoral programme for health promotion, based on sector-specific intervention packages developed and tested by end users, and introduced via interactive multisectoral seminars, shows potential for improving health promotion practices and collaboration across sectors. Consideration of the key facilitators and barriers for programme implementation as highlighted in this study can inform future improvement efforts
