The role of alcohol control policy on the level of alcohol consumption in member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations 2000–2022
Background: In his historical studies of current high-income countries, Angus Deaton demonstrated a correlation between a country's prosperity and the health of its population. His conceptual framework has recently been expanded to include the role of alcohol. In this ecological study, we test the key assumptions of the expanded framework and classify countries with respect to both their levels of alcohol consumption and alcohol control policies …
Impact of alcohol excise taxation and structural reforms on per capita consumption in Thailand, 1995–2021
Alcohol excise taxation (i.e., excise tax increases and structural reforms) significantly reduced APC in Thailand. Future taxation policies should include automatic adjustments for changes in inflation and/or disposable household income to sustain their long-term public health impact
Association of Financial Distress and Monthly Income with Smoking During the Covid-19 Pandemic Recession in Thailand
(1) Background: Psychological distress causes increased smoking frequency. Thus, financial distress (FD), a type of psychological distress, during the COVID-19 pandemic recession is possibly associated with increased smoking frequency. We studied the association between disrupted employment or earnings-associated FD and the number of cigarettes smoked daily, as well as the effects of pre-pandemic regular monthly incomes on the association. (2) Me…
Spatio-temporal distribution of Covid-19 cases and tuberculosis in four provinces of Sumatra Islands, Indonesia

Rate of full vaccination among children aged 12–23 months in urban slums in Bangladesh and its associations using a COM-B model approach
Variations in the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depression by age at first occurrence of ACEs
The strength of the associations between ACEs and depression varied by the age at first ACE. However, the cross-sectional study design, potential information bias, and lack of generalizability should be considered as caveats in the interpretation of the study findings
HIV Testing and HIV Positivity Among People Who Inject Drugs (PWIDs) With and Without History of High-Risk Behaviors
People who inject drugs (PWIDs) may engage in other behaviors with high risk of HIV transmission to various extents. However, data are scarce regarding differences in HIV testing and HIV positivity among PWIDs with and without high-risk behaviors. Such data can help inform stakeholders with regard to program prioritization. The objective of this study was to assess the extent that lifetime and past-year histories of HIV tests and HIV positivity v…
Inter-ethnic differences in self-reported alcohol-related harm to children in Han vs. Yi ethnic minority households in Yunnan Province, China
China is a multi-ethnic country, but inter-ethnic disparities in alcohol-related harm to children have not been described. In this study, we assessed differences in prevalence of self-reported alcohol-related harm to children in Yi and Han households in Chuxiong Yi Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. We conducted a cross-sectional study among caregivers in households with a child age less than 18 years using structured questionnaire interview. Pa…
Prevalence of Alcohol-Related Harms in Yi and Han Ethnic Groups in a Prefecture in Yunnan Province, China
Yi ethnic minorities in Yunnan Province had lower prevalence of alcohol-related harm from others than Han persons in the same region. However, measurement and translation-related issues of the study instrument and limited generalizability should be considered as caveats in the interpretation of the study findings
Associations between gaming disorder, parent-child relationship, parental supervision, and discipline styles
Effect of an equipment-behavior change intervention on handwashing behavior among primary school children in Kenya
Our combined equipment-behavior intervention increased availability of handwashing materials and improved the compliance with handwashing after using the toilet, but handwashing with soap was still rare. Equipment durability must be improved for deployment in schools at scale.

Religious affiliation and disparities in risk of non-communicable diseases and health behaviours
This study aims to compare the health-related behaviours and risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) between Muslims and non-Muslims in Thailand, a predominantly Buddhist country in which Muslims are the second largest religious group. Data from the fourth Thai National Health Examination Survey (NHES IV) conducted in 2009 were used to run multivariate survey logistic regression models with adjustment for age, gender and socio-economic status in…
Growth and development of children aged 1–5 years in low-intensity armed conflict areas in Southern Thailand
Unlike war refugees and internally-displaced persons in camp-like settings, the relationship between level of armed conflict and growth and developmental delay among children aged 1-5 years could not be demonstrated in the community setting of this study where food supply had been minimally perturbed
