Dietary and lifestyle adjustments among people who use drugs in opioid substitution treatment and recommendations for program development
Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) is a widely used intervention for treating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). However, little is known about the dietary habits and physical activity practices of People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) undergoing OST, especially in Lebanon. This qualitative study explores the dietary practices and lifestyle adjustments of PWUD undergoing OST in Lebanon. Semi-structured Key informant interviews (KIIs) were conducted with 11 male par…

Changes in structure and function of social networks of independently living middle-aged and older adults in diverse sociodemographic subgroups during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background Social networks, i.e., all social relationships that people have, contribute to well-being and health. Governmental measures against COVID-19 were explicitly aimed to decrease physical social contact. We evaluated ego-centric social network structure and function, and changes therein, among various sociodemographic subgroups before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Independently living Dutch adults aged 40 years and older parti…
The role of knowledge, risk perceptions, and cues to action among Iranian women concerning cervical cancer and screening
The results indicate a strong need to invest more efforts to improve health education and communication in the current national health program to promote awareness of the need to screen for CC through, for example, establishing correct knowledge and risk perceptions among women. In addition, this intervention should address women's social environment in order to prevent misconceptions being communicated to women

Exploring health literacy in relation to noncommunicable diseases in Samoa
The findings of this study show how health literacy in Samoa is influenced by culture and suggest employing participatory, culture-sensitive, public health interventions which address the family as a whole, building on health literacy to address major public health problems like NCDs and remove barriers in the health system
Manifestations of integrated public health policy in Dutch municipalities
Integrated public health policy (IPHP) aims at integrating health considerations into policies of other sectors. Since the limited empirical evidence available may hamper its further development, we systematically analysed empirical manifestations of IPHP, by placing policy strategies along a continuum of less-to-more policy integration, going from intersectoral action (IA) to healthy public policy (HPP) to health in all policies (HiAP). Our case…
A Multilevel Study of Students in Vietnam
These findings suggest that, among students in Vietnam, the drinking context explains a larger proportion of the variance in alcohol consumption than the drinking motives. Therefore, measures that reduce the availability of alcohol in specific drinking situations are an essential part of an effective prevention policy
Secondhand effects of alcohol use among students in Vietnam
BACKGROUND: In many countries worldwide, heavy drinking can cause harm not only to drinkers but also to those around them. OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence and predictors of secondhand effects of alcohol use among students in Vietnam. DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study, a multistage sampling strategy was used to select 6,011 students (from the first to final study year) of 12 universities/faculties in four provinces in Vietnam. During clas…
A Web—Based Respondent Driven Sampling Pilot Targeting Young People at Risk for Chlamydia Trachomatis in Social and Sexual Networks with Testing
The screening strategy is feasible for targeting the hidden social network. However, uptake among men and recruitment of sex-partners is low and RDS stopped early. Future studies are needed to explore the sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and impact of strategies that target people at risk who are not effectively reached by regular health care
Alcohol-related harm among university students in Hanoi, Vietnam
INTRODUCTION AND AIM: This study examines the prevalence of and risk factors for alcohol-related harm and types of harm among medical students from Hanoi Medical University (Vietnam). Risk factors include aspects of drinking patterns and relevant socio-demographic variables. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 1st to 6th year students (N=1216; response rate 96.5%). Of these, 210 students from each academic year were random…
Youth crowds and cigarette smoking
This study examined the prospective relationship between crowd affiliation and smoking behavior among a national sample of 16-22 year old Danes (N = 952). Self-reported data were collected by means of a postal questionnaire at baseline and at 18 months follow-up. The sample included participants, who at baseline reported to identify with a crowd with either a low-smoking norm (n = 705) or a high-smoking norm (n = 247). The results showed that par…
Increasing children's fruit and vegetable consumption
Objective To measure the effects of two school-based interventions on children's intake of fruit and vegetables (F&V). Design and methods A total of six primary schools were randomly assigned to (1) a free F&V distribution programme, or (2) a multicomponent programme, consisting of a classroom curriculum and parental involvement. The two interventions were evaluated on their effects and compared with six control schools in a pre-test–post-test de…

Development of a collaborative model to improve school health promotion in the Netherlands
In recent decades, school health promotion programs have been developing into whole-school health approaches. This has been accompanied by a greater understanding among health promoters of the core-business of schools, namely education, and how health promotion objectives can be integrated into this task. Evidence of the positive impact of school health promotion on health risk behavior of students is increasing. This article focuses on the proce…
The Asymmetrical Perception of Men and Women
This study examines the individuation versus categorization of men and women. Several researchers have argued for structural status differences between men and women - men occupy societal positions of high status, and women positions of low status. This line of research predicts that male participants will individuate other men, but categorize women. Conversely, female participants will individuate men as well as women. In the present study, male…
The effects of group membership and social context on information organization
Self-categorization theory posits that the perception of group members is flexible and determined by the comparative social context as well as by group membership. Subjects read about either four ingroup or outgroup target persons in the context of four additional stimulus persons who were members of either the same group as the target persons (intragroup context) or the other group (intergroup context). Individualized and attribute-wise informat…
Anticipated Regret and Time Perspective
In two studies we test the effects of anticipated affective reactions such as regret on behavioral expectations and behavior. These effects were examined in the context of sexual risk-taking behavior. More specifically, we tested the impact of the anticipated feelings associated with unsafe sex on sexual risk-taking behavior. We assumed a difference between the feelingsabout unsafe sex and the feelings people anticipate to haveafter this behavior…

Group status, group size and attitude polarization
The influence of group status and group size on intergroup attitude differentiation was investigated. Hypothesized was that members of high status groups would polarize their attitudes more than members of low status group, and that minorities would show greater sensitivity to status differences than majorities. The results show that status affected intergroup differentiation as predicted, while group size did not
Social identification and permeability of group boundaries
Two experiments were conducted to investigate some of the factors affecting social identification. In Experiment 1 ingroup identification was measured for subjects who were members of high or low status groups with either permeable or impermeable boundaries, and who received high, average or low ability feedback. The main results are that (1) members of high status groups show more ingroup identification than members of low status groups (2) memb…
