  • Football and Ice Hockey Fans' Experience of a 12-Week Training and Weight-Loss Pilot Intervention (ViSiT) in Sweden—A Focus Group Study

    Open AccessJanna Skagerström, Magdalena Hjertstedt et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2021References: 6

    Background: Excess weight is associated with an increased risk of poor health and premature mortality. This is more problematic for men than for women because men have a lower life expectancy and a higher prevalence of several lifestyle-related diseases. A concept whereby overweight male supporters of professional football clubs are recruited and offered a weight-loss intervention has been developed in Scotland. In the present study, we explore p…

  • Conversations about alcohol in healthcare – cross-sectional surveys in the Netherlands and Sweden

    Open AccessLatifa Abidi, Phoebe Nilsen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The results suggest that alcohol conversations are more common in healthcare practice in Sweden than in the Netherlands. However, positive effects of alcohol conversations were less likely to be reported among older respondents in Sweden. Our results indicate that alcohol preventative work should be improved in both countries, with more focus on risky drinkers and the content of the conversations in Sweden, and expanding alcohol screening in the …

  • Alcohol consumption among partners of pregnant women in Sweden

    Open AccessHjördis Högberg, Janna Skagerström et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    A majority of partners decreased their alcohol consumption in transition to parenthood, which also appears to be a crucial time for changing alcohol-drinking patterns. The partners with higher AUDIT-C scores reported more support for decreased drinking. Most partners appreciated the midwife's talk about alcohol and pregnancy and those who filled out AUDIT in early pregnancy reported that the counseling was more engaging. During pregnancy it is po…

  • The voice of non-pregnant women on alcohol consumption during pregnancy

    Open AccessJanna Skagerström, Elisabet Häggström‐Nordin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Social expectations concerning women's alcohol use change with pregnancy when women are suddenly expected to abstain. Although most study participants shared an opinion for zero tolerance during pregnancy, their knowledge regarding consequences of drinking during pregnancy were sparse. In order for prospective mothers to make informed choices, there is a need for public health initiatives providing information on the relationship between alcohol …

  • Prevalence of alcohol use before and during pregnancy and predictors of drinking during pregnancy

    Open AccessJanna Skagerström, Siw Alehagen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    The prevalence of drinking during pregnancy is relatively low in Sweden. However, 84% of the women report drinking in the year preceding pregnancy and most of these women continue to drink until pregnancy recognition, which means that they might have consumed alcohol in early pregnancy. Six factors were found to predict alcohol consumption during pregnancy. These factors should be addressed in the work to prevent alcohol-exposed pregnancies
