Health beliefs and attitudes toward Influenza and Covid-19 vaccination in Portugal: A study using a mixed-method approach
Introduction: Vaccination is one of the most effective population strategies to prevent infectious diseases and mitigate pandemics, and it is important to understand vaccine uptake determinants since vaccine hesitancy has been increasing for the past few decades. The Health Belief Model (HBM) has been widely used for understanding vaccination behavior. The current study aimed to assess influenza vaccine (IV) non-uptake and attitudes toward COVID-…
Association between area-level walkability and glycated haemoglobin: A Portuguese population-based study
Diabetes poses a substantial disease burden, prompting preventive interventions. Physical inactivity, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, can potentially be mitigated by enhancing area-level walkability. Despite this, limited population-based studies have investigated the link between walkability and objective diabetes measures. Our study aims to estimate the association between area-level walkability and individual glycated haemoglobin leve…
Parents of Children Diagnosed with Congenital Anomalies or Cerebral Palsy: Identifying Needs in Interaction with Healthcare Services
The changes deriving from the birth of a child with a congenital anomaly (CA) or cerebral palsy (CP) imply, in many cases, an increased interaction with health services. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a convenience sample of parents of children diagnosed with four groups of CA (severe heart anomalies, spina bifida, orofacial clefts, and Down syndrome) and/or CP. A semistructured online questionnaire to be answered by paren…
Impact of national influenza vaccination strategy in severe influenza outcomes among the high-risk Portuguese population
The yearly influenza vaccination campaigns had a sustained positive benefit for the high-risk population, reducing hospitalizations and deaths. These results can support public health plans toward increased vaccine coverage in high-risk groups
Cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure trend analyses from 2002 to 2016: After the implementation of a salt reduction strategy
This research provides an indication about the impact a population-wide approach to CVD risk factors has on CVD trends themselves. Our results suggest that population-wide approaches can have an impact on the prevention and improvement of CVD control, reducing the number of CVD events, and eventually reducing premature death by CVD. As more restrictions on salt intake are being planned in Portugal in the next years, it is highly relevant to asses…
Depression and unemployment incidence rate evolution in Portugal, 1995–2013: General Practitioner Sentinel Network data
OBJECTIVE: Quantify, for both genders, the correlation between the depression incidence rate and the unemployment rate in Portugal between 1995 and 2013. METHODS: An ecological study was developed to correlate the evolution of the depression incidence rates estimated by the General Practitioner Sentinel Network and the annual unemployment rates provided by the National Statistical Institute in official publications. RESULTS: There was a positive …
A study protocol to evaluate the relationship between outdoor air pollution and pregnancy outcomes
Exposure misclassification is an issue of concern in semi-ecological design. In this study, personal exposures are assigned to each pregnant using geocoded addresses data. A stochastic simulation method is applied to lichen diversity values index measured at biomonitoring survey locations, in order to assess spatial uncertainty of lichen diversity value index at each geocoded address. These methods assume a model for spatial autocorrelation of ex…
