The Influence of Contextual Social Deprivation on Poor Health Among Urban Male Residents
This study aimed to examine whether contextual social deprivation is independently associated with health outcomes. A cross-sectional, multistage sampling design was employed to interview participants from six selected cities in China. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data on individual socioeconomic characteristics and contextual social deprivation. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to assess the association between…
The influence of mixed environmental air pollution on deliberate self-harm among university students
Using nationally representative data from 20 cities in China, this study provides compelling evidence of the detrimental impact of environmental air pollution on DSH. It underscores the urgent need for stronger environmental protection policies and the development of effective mental health strategies to reduce DSH and alleviate environmental strain on mental health
Regional Internet Access and Mental Stress Among University Students
Background: The Internet changed the lives of average citizens in the early part of the twenty-first century, and it has now become an essential part of daily life. Many studies reported that accessibility of Internet use is associated with mental health. However, previous studies examining this association were confined to local and community subpopulations and limited at the individual level, which increases the potential bias from the selectio…
Peer Association and Routine Activities in Sex Worker Patronage among Male Migrant Workers
Studies of people who buy sex often focus on psychological and personality factors with less attention paid to the role of social contexts. This study integrates the two lines of inquiry, routine activity theory and peer deviance, to examine the social process of paying for sex. We argue that deviant peer association may shape buying sex due to peers' role in shifts in the three components of routine activity theory: motivation, targets, and lack…
Urban Air Pollution and Mental Stress
Background: Studies exploring the relationship between air pollution levels and mental stress have rarely been done, and no studies have been done comparing university student mental stress levels based on regional air pollution levels. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between air pollution and mental stress among university students. Methods: Participants were 11,942 students, who were identified through a …
Virtual Telesimulation for Medical Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
PROBLEM: In March 2020, the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) became a global pandemic. Medical schools around the United States faced difficult decisions, temporarily suspending hospital-based clerkship rotations for medical students due to potential shortages of personal protective equipment and a need to social distance. This decision created a need for innovative, virtual learning opportunities to support undergraduate medical education. APPR…
Association of cigarette production and tobacco retailer density on secondhand smoke exposure in urban China
Findings shed light on the role of cigarette manufacturers and retailers in producing environmental SHS pollution. To address the health and economic burden associated with SHS in China, it will be critical for the Chinese government to enact tobacco control measures consistent with the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control. Efforts should also focus on restricting the permitted density of tobacco retail outlets, and tobacco production in Chin…
Violent Injuries Among College Students in China
The purpose of this study was to explore the gender-specific mental stress model of violent injuries among Chinese college students. A cross-sectional, multistage sampling process was employed to recruit a total of 5025 college students from 22 universities in China. Survey respondents reported their exposure to violent injuries and noted individual and environmental factors that could relate to violent injuries. Both unadjusted and adjusted stat…
Gender balance and its impact on male and female smoking rates in Chinese cities
The impact of regional economic reliance on the tobacco industry on current smoking in China
Public Place Smoke-Free Regulations, Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Related Beliefs, Awareness, Attitudes, and Practices among Chinese Urban Residents
There was a statistically significant association between implementation of smoke-free regulations in a city and inhibition of secondhand tobacco smoking exposure in public places. However, any such impact was limited. Effective tobacco control in China will require comprehensive laws implemented fully and supported by penalties and a combination of strong public health education
Special communication
This paper provides an overview of a recent 18-month project which set out for the first time to introduce training on tobacco control into the curricula of public health courses in Chinese universities. The aim was to produce graduates with appropriate knowledge and skills to be effective in advocating for policies that could lead to the reduction of tobacco use. Results from this initial project involving seven universities have been encouragin…
