Why do people trust (or mistrust) health organizations? A systematic review
Trust and mistrust shape how people engage with health organizations, influencing cooperation, compliance, and institutional legitimacy. While trust supports collective action, mistrust can reflect rational responses to inequity or institutional failure.

Exploring the Online Health Information-Seeking Behavior in a Sample of Italian Women
There is much discussion about the skills of people in understanding and managing online health information. The Italian survey “SEI Donna” aimed to investigate perceptions and use of the web in women regarding health issues considering their health literacy (HL) and healthcare skills. We used an online questionnaire to explore different aspects of online health-related information-seeking behavior. The study participants (n = 7027) were categori…

This study aimed to explore public risk perception on MDs use by children aged 0-5 years and attitudes of parents to children's use. Participants were recruited on a voluntary basis by social media using a self-administered survey. The study included 3115 participants, most of who…
Genotoxic Activity of Particulate Matter and In Vivo Tests in Children Exposed to Air Pollution
The aim of this paper was to investigate the relationship between micronuclei and DNA damage in children's buccal mucosa cells and the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of the different sized fractions of particulate matter as well as the concentration of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and metals in particulate matter. Air particulate matter was collected by high volume samplers located near the schools attended by the children on the same d…

Comet Test in Saliva Leukocytes of Pre-School Children Exposed to Air Pollution in North Italy
Air pollution is a well-known problem for human health, especially for children living in highly polluted urban areas. This study aimed to assess the relationship between airborne pollutants concentration and biomarkers of DNA damage in the buccal mucosa cells of pre-school children. DNA damage was investigated with comet test in saliva leukocytes taken from sputum of 3- to 6-year-old children living in Brescia, Northern Italy, collected during t…
Meningococcal disease in Italy
The findings suggest a role for the media in fostering public pressure towards health services and policy-makers. A collaboration between Public Health institutions and the media would be beneficial in order to improve communication with the public
Health Risk Associated with Exposure to PM10 and Benzene in Three Italian Towns
Air pollution in urban areas is a major concern as it negatively affects the health of a large number of people. The purpose of this study was to assess the inhalation health risk for exposure to PM 10 and benzene of the populations living in three Italian cities. Data regarding PM 10 and benzene daily measured by "traffic" stations and "background" stations in Torino, Perugia, and Lecce during 2014 and 2015 were compared to the limits indicated …
Lifestyles and socio-cultural factors among children aged 6–8 years from five Italian towns
The socio-economic level seems to affect the lifestyles of children enrolled in the study including those that could cause health effects. Many factors are linked to the geographical area and may depend on environmental, cultural and social aspects of the city of residence
Socio-Economic and Environmental Factors Associated with Overweight and Obesity in Children Aged 6–8 Years Living in Five Italian Cities (the Mapec_Life Cohort)
The prevalence of obesity among Italian children has reached such alarming levels as to require detailed studies of the causes of the phenomenon. A cross-sectional study was carried out in order to assess the weight status of 1164 Italian children aged 6-8 years (the Monitoring Air Pollution Effects on Children for Supporting Public Health Policy (MAPEC_LIFE) cohort) and to identify any associations between selected socio-economic and environment…
Nutritional supplements for diabetes sold on the internet
Easy internet access to NSs lacking in adequate medical information and strong scientific evidence is a matter of public health concern, mainly considering that a misleading information could lead to an improper prevention both in healthy people and people suffering from diabetes. There is a clear need for more trials to assess the efficacy and safety of these NSs, better quality control of websites, more informed physicians and greater public aw…
How has the flu virus infected the Web? 2010 influenza and vaccine information available on the Internet
We found that the majority of the websites providing information on flu vaccination were pro/neutral and gave sufficient information. We suggest that antivaccinationist information may have been spread by a different route, such as via Web 2.0 tools, which may be more prone to the dissemination of "viral" information. The page ranking analysis revealed the crucial role of search engines regarding access to information on the Internet

Polluted online information? Surfing Italian websites dealing with the topic of waste and health
We introduce a generic description of MILS systems (Chapter 2), and the MILS architecture template (Chapter 3). Chapter 4 discusses MILS main components. The practical aim of this document is two-fold: (1) to get a common understanding of MILS terms and definitions, and (2) to provide a framework to derive the information flow, access control and resource allocation of the demonstrators from individual MILS components
