Long-term follow-up of the public health impacts and co-benefits of an urban greenway intervention
BACKGROUND: Evidence on the long-term impact of urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) interventions remains limited. This study is a 15-year evaluation of an urban greenway development in Belfast (United Kingdom), assessing the potential effects of this UGBS intervention on physical activity (PA), mental wellbeing and co-benefits. METHODS: Using natural experimental design, a repeated cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2010 (baseline), 2017 (po…
Evaluation of a bridge-based suicide intervention programme
Suicide is a preventable, but complex public health issue. Around one-third of suicides take place in a public location. Easy access to means of self-harm in public spaces, such as bridges, increases risk. While physical modifications (e.g., barriers) are effective for means reduction, they are not always feasible to implement. Bridge Watch is a suicide prevention initiative that uses trained volunteers to patrol public spaces around bridges in t…
Community resilience to climate change and non-communicable disease vulnerability in Yaoundé, Cameroon
Background: Climate change and rapid urbanisation have intensified flood risk in Global South cities, exacerbating health inequities, especially through non-communicable diseases (NCDs). However, little is known about how community resilience strategies to key climate change consequences like flooding affect NCD risk in rapidly growing cities of the Global South. Methods: We used a Community-Based System Dynamics (CBSD) approach to examine flood …
Collective learning for resilience in Global South cities
Introduction: Cities in the Global South face escalating climate change challenges, including extreme weather events that disproportionately affect marginalized populations and exacerbate health risks, such as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Climate resilience, defined as the capacity to adapt and recover from climate-related events, requires intersectoral collaboration between governments and civil society. Methods: This study employs a Commun…
Factors contributing to food choice in the UK secondary school food setting
Objective: To co-develop a systems map of the UK secondary school food system and to understand what factors contribute to food choice within it. Design: Participatory methods were used with a range of UK school stakeholders to co-produce a systems map of factors contributing to food choice in the secondary school food system. An online survey with stakeholders ( n 26) was used to gather an initial list of factors, and a group model-building work…
Effects of city design on transport mode choice and exposure to health risks during and after a crisis
Future-proofing cities against negative city mobility and public health impacts of impending natural hazards
National, regional, and global trends in insufficient physical activity among adults from 2000 to 2022
BACKGROUND: Insufficient physical activity increases the risk of non-communicable diseases, poor physical and cognitive function, weight gain, and mental ill-health. Global prevalence of adult insufficient physical activity was last published for 2016, with limited trend data. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of insufficient physical activity for 197 countries and territories, from 2000 to 2022. METHODS: We collated physical activity reported …
Internacionalismos en disputa al interior de la Unión Sindical Argentina (1922-1924)
Este artículo analiza los debates producidos en la Unión Sindical Argentina (USA) acerca de la posición que debía adoptar la central en relación a las organizaciones internacionales del proletariado que pretendían representarlo. Se considera el periodo que se extiende entre la creación de la USA (1922) y los momentos previos a la realización de su Primer Congreso Ordinario (1924) por constituir el momento más álgido de las discusiones reflejando …
The PHEM-B toolbox of methods for incorporating the influences on Behaviour into Public Health Economic Models
This is the first attempt to rigorously and coherently propose methods to incorporate the influences on behaviour into health economic models of public health interventions. It may not always be feasible or necessary to model the influences on behaviour explicitly, but it is essential to develop an understanding of the key influences. Changing behaviour and maintaining that behaviour change could have different influences; thus, there could be be…
The contribution of urban green and blue spaces to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals
Urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) have the potential to make a significant contribution to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research shows the need for UGBS to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of urbanisation and provide equitable access to resources that reduce social and health inequalities. However, no previous review has attempted to consolidate this evidence within the context of the SDGs. The aim of this …
Association Between Physical Activity and Risk of Depression
World Health Organization 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour
Objectives To describe new WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods The guidelines were developed in accordance with WHO protocols. An expert Guideline Development Group reviewed evidence to assess associations between physical activity and sedentary behaviour for an agreed set of health outcomes and population groups. The assessment used and systematically updated recent relevant systematic reviews; new primary r…
