Towards a new model of population mental health research and policy translation in the UK
National and regional perceptions of climate change risk in the United States and the impacts of political orientation
Climate change continues to impact the environment, economy, and livelihoods of people. Following climate change mitigation behaviors limits the severity of future impacts and promote long-term environmental and societal resilience. However, the likelihood that people will engage in climate mitigation action depends largely on their perceptions about climate change and its impacts. The dynamic nature of both climate change and human perceptions r…
Vaccinating with Valor
Childhood immunization can effectively control and prevent infectious diseases; however, not all parents choose to vaccinate their children against vaccines, including COVID-19. This study aimed to determine potential factors influencing people's willingness to vaccinate their children. An online survey was conducted with 509 adult parents/guardians of children to test our hypotheses. Based on the TPB model with the RISP model as the antecedent, …
Burning through information
A series of wildfires in Oregon in 2020 resulted in severe human and property losses. Given the stressful and time-sensitive nature of such events, providing timely information to people during extreme weather events like wildfires can be challenging. Understanding individuals' most-frequently-used information sources along with their information seeking behaviors can help communicators to target audiences and effectively communicate emergency in…
Public perspectives on inequality and mental health
INTRODUCTION: Associations between structural inequalities and health are well established. However, there is limited work examining this link in relation to mental health, or that centres public perspectives. This study explores people's experience and sense-making of inequality in their daily lives, with particular consideration of impacts on mental health. METHODS: We conducted a peer research study. Participants had to live in one of two Lond…
Food Insecurity Screening and Referral Practices of Pediatric Clinicians in Metropolitan Washington, DC
Immediately after the release of the AAP Policy Statement, it was found that few pediatric clinicians appropriately and frequently screened for FI in our regional sample. Our data emphasize the common misconceptions held by clinicians around FI and the necessity to incorporate training that underscores the invisibility of FI along with effective techniques to screen and intervene
Cimatario National Park in Queretaro, Mexico
El Cimatario National Park in Querétaro is an ecological reserve located in the City of Querétaro, Mexico, which has excellent attributes to develop sustainable tourism and in turn, conserve the biodiversity of the area. The article aims to know the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities that the Cimatario Park currently presents and with the results obtained propose a marketing plan with a sustainable approach, which allows this ecolog…
Conceptualising public mental health
This is the most complete conceptual framework for public mental health to date, bringing together academic research, policy and practitioner views, and lived experience perspectives. The co-production processes and tools we used provides a template for researchers looking to include multiple perspectives in their research. The conceptual framework draws together current knowledge on each determinant, but also highlights areas where further resea…
Partner influences, breastfeeding, and body image and eating concerns
Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, Querétaro, Mexico
The importance of tourism in the economy and development, from countries worldwide and specifically to Mexico, makes it increasingly necessary to carry out tourism activities and create sustainable policies that reduce the impacts of the mass movement of tourists. The work aims to present the different actions carried out in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, Querétaro, Mexico that allow it to offer ecotourism activities and develop sustainable …
Discharge Body Mass Index, Not Illness Chronicity, Predicts 6-Month Weight Outcome in Patients Hospitalized With Anorexia Nervosa
Proposed treatments for severe and enduring anorexia nervosa (SE-AN) focus on quality of life, and psychological and social functioning. By de-emphasizing weight restoration as a priority, however, premature diagnosis of SE-AN may reduce potential for recovery. The present study assessed the effect of weight restoration, illness duration, and severity on treatment outcome 6 months after discharge from an intensive, meal-based behavioral treatment…
