How ethical aims shape conceptual engineering in science
Conceptual engineering, broadly speaking, involves improving our concepts via inclusion of new criteria, creating new concepts, and eliminating old concepts. However, what sorts of considerations count as improvements depends on the context. For example, some social concepts are also scientific concepts and play important roles in both domains. One way to engineer these concepts is to treat them as primarily scientific concepts answerable to scie…
Did the prevalence of depressive symptoms change during the Covid-19 pandemic? A multilevel analysis on longitudinal data from healthcare workers
BACKGROUND: Healthcare workers (HCW) are at high risk to develop mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic because of additional work load, perceived stress, and exposure to patients with COVID-19. Currently, there are few studies on change over time in the prevalence of depressive symptoms during pandemic start among HCW. Thus, the aims of the current study were to examine whether depressive symptoms increased during the pandemic and w…
Social inequalities in early childhood language development during the Covid-19 pandemic
Social inequalities in LD increased due to opposing trends in prevalence comparing low and high SEP families. To promote health equity across the life course, early childhood should be of interest for tailored public health actions (e.g. through targeted interventions for kindergarten groups). Further analytical studies should investigate determinants (e.g., parental investment)
Socio-economic inequalities in body mass index among preschool children
Background: Overweight in childhood is considered to be one of the most serious public health challenges. Many studies have investigated individual-level determinants of children's body mass index (BMI), yet studies exploring determinants at the meso-level are sparse. The aim of our study was to examine how a sports focus at early childhood education and care (ECEC) centers moderates the effect of parental socio-economic position (SEP) on childre…
Young people’s health and well-being during the school-to-work transition
Findings suggest that school-leave is a sensitive period and that post-secondary pathways provide young people with different abilities to maintain health and well-being. Youth health interventions might benefit when setting a stronger focus on unsuccessful school-leavers
Associations of individual factors and early childhood education and care (Ecec) centres characteristics with preschoolers’ BMI in Germany
The BMI of preschool children appears to be associated with determinants at the micro and meso level, however with some gender differences. The identified factors at the micro and meso level appear largely modifiable and can inform about possible interventions to reduce obesity in preschool children
Association of regional socioeconomic deprivation and rurality with global developmental delay in early childhood
Family SEP and regional deprivation are risk factors for child development and of particular interest to promote health of children in early childhood and over the life course
Covid-19 among Healthcare Workers
Healthcare workers (HCW) play a vital role in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic control. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and the risk of COVID-19 infections in a cohort of HCW from four different risk groups (from intensive care unit to administration) of a hospital of a primary care level in rural Germany. The outcomes were monthly measures of antibody seroprevalence over a period of 6 months. Overall, a seropre…
