Worsened Financial Situation During the Covid-19 Pandemic Was Associated With Depressive Symptomatology Among University Students in Germany
Background: Previous findings suggest that university students are at an elevated risk to experience financial hardship and to suffer from depressive symptoms. This vulnerability may have substantially increased during the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic which might have affected students' socio-economic situation but possibly also their mental well-being. We examined whether the financial situation changed during the COVID-19 pandemic…
Changes in risk perceptions during the 2014 Ebola virus disease epidemic
Risk communication appealing to cognitive reactions by informing clearly on the risk of infection in unaffected countries may decrease inappropriate behaviors
Estimations of worldwide prevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus infection
Ethnic differences in perceptions of body satisfaction and body appearance among U.S. Schoolchildren
There were substantial differences in body satisfaction and perceived appearance across the three largest ethnic groups of school-age children in the U.S. Stability across age indicates that these perceptions are most likely established before the age of 10 and underline the importance of primary schools and parents in prevention. Special attention should be directed to the dramatic loss of positive perceived appearance among African-American boy…
A feasibility trial to examine the social norms approach for the prevention and reduction of licit and illicit drug use in European University and college students
This project is the first cross-national European collaboration to investigate the feasibility of a social norms intervention to reduce licit and prevent illicit drug use among European university students. FINAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: DRKS00004375 on the 'German Clinical Trials Register
Timeliness of childhood vaccinations in 31 low and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: This study assessed the extent of delays in childhood vaccinations and examined sociodemographic correlates of delayed and missing vaccinations. METHODS: Datasets from the 2005-7 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys from 31 countries were used. Information on vaccinations was based on vaccination cards. Survival analysis was applied to assess age-specific vaccination rates, and multilevel logistic regression analysis was used to assess …
Selected sociodemographic factors and related differences in patterns of alcohol use among university students in Slovakia
Our findings for the university students from Slovakia are in line with previous studies in Western Europe. Additionally, it appears that frequent alcohol use, excessive alcohol use (heavy episodic drinking and drunkenness) and problem drinking among university students represent a continuum and are influenced by the same sociodemographic factors
Relationship between perceived body weight and body mass index based on self- reported height and weight among university students
Weight ideals are rather uniform across the European countries, with female students being more likely to perceive themselves as "too fat" at a normal BMI, while male students being more likely to perceive themselves as "too thin". Programs to prevent unhealthy behaviours to achieve ill-advised weight ideals may benefit students
Factors associated with self-rated health status in university students
The results suggest that SRHS can be reasonably used to compare students' health across countries. SRHS is affected by different physical, psychological and psychosomatic aspects of health; however, its strongest association is with psychosomatic complaints
Correlates of depressive symptoms among Latino and Non-Latino White adolescents
Our findings suggest that the differences in depressive symptoms between Non-Latino Whites and Latino adolescents disappear at least in some strata after adjusting for socio-demographic and social support variables
Collecting social contact data in the context of disease transmission
Health-related quality of life in diabetic patients and controls without diabetes in refugee camps in the Gaza strip
HRQOL is strongly reduced in diabetic patients living in refugee camps in the Gaza strip. Women and older patients are especially affected
