Determinant factors in the use of modern contraception in urban and rural areas in Western Indonesia
Modern contraceptive use is similar in urban and rural areas of Western Indonesia, with sociodemographic factors significantly influencing use. Key differences include the impact of education, number of children, and wealth index, with lower use among women with secondary education and those in the lowest wealth group. Family planning efforts should target education gaps, promote early family planning, and expand access to services for low-income…
Transiting Out of Full-Time National Service
Higher prevalence of obesity in men compared with women, particularly among those 18 to 40 years of age, has been observed in Singapore. We explored young men’s perceptions of weight change after transiting out of National Service (NS) over a 12-month period and sought to understand the underlying drivers. In-depth interviews, guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), were conducted with young men 12 months after they had completed full-time NS. S…
Temporal trends and variation in out-of-pocket expenditures and patient cost sharing
Reducing out-of-pocket expenditure and patient cost sharing is required to improve financial protection from illness, especially for those with those with chronic conditions and reside in less developed regions in China. Ongoing monitoring of financial protection using data from various sources is warranted
Behavioral impact of national health campaigns on healthy lifestyle practices among young adults in Singapore
While this paper affirms that national health campaigns have significant beneficial associations in diet, health screenings and current tobacco use, policymakers should acknowledge that young adults are an age group with different influences that impact their healthy lifestyle habits. Specific interventions that target these subgroups may be required for better health outcomes. Future studies should evaluate other socio-environmental factors that…
Identifying implementation gaps and priorities for the Singapore government to improve food environment policies
Objective: Singapore, an urbanised, developed nation, with a high reliance on food importation and a high prevalence of eating out is facing rising rates of obesity and diabetes. The objective of the current study was to characterise and evaluate the Singapore government’s policies to improve the food environment and to identify and prioritise concrete actions. Design: The Healthy Food Environment Policy Index tool and process were used. An exper…
Community involvement in the development and implementation of chronic condition programmes across the continuum of care in high- and upper-middle income countries
National Tobacco Control Policies from the Perspectives of Singapore Young Male Adults
Between 2016 and 2018, tobacco control legislation has undergone several amendments to further restrict tobacco use in Singapore. This study explored the attitudes toward these policy changes and the perceived effectiveness of legislations from the perspectives of young male adults in Singapore. Twenty-nine semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted among young male adults who have completed their National Service in 2017/18 and self-rep…
Improving Type 2 Diabetes prevention and care in England – what can healthcare transformation achieve
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior in a representative sample of a multi-ethnic South-East Asian population
Our population-based study suggests a need to encourage overall physical activity but, particularly regular leisure-time exercise, especially among middle-aged, females and those with lower levels of education and full-time employment. Strategies targeting workplaces may be important to reduce high levels of sedentary behavior
Ethnic and gender specific life expectancies of the Singapore population, 1965 to 2009 – converging, or diverging
Ethnic and gender differences in life expectancy persist in Singapore despite its rapid economic development. Targeted chronic disease prevention measures and health promotion activities focusing on people of Malay ethnicity and the male community may be needed to remedy this inequality
