These findings highlight the importance of considering both parent- and child-level cognitive and behavioral factors when examining childhood eye health. Theory-informed assessments can inform the development of contextually appropriate vision health promotion strategies
A Hospital-Based Infant Safe Sleep Intervention and Safe Sleep Practices Among Young Women

Health literacy and the determinants of obesity
This study demonstrates strong links between health literacy and obesity, even after adjusting for key potential confounders, and provides new insights into potential intervention points in school education for obesity prevention. Systematic approaches to integrating a health literacy curriculum into schools may mitigate the growing burden of disease due to obesity
An investigation of the smoking behaviours of parents before, during and after the birth of their children in Taiwan

It is important to advocate the benefits of a smoke-free home to Taiwanes…
Insurance covered and non-covered complementary and alternative medicine utilisation among adults in Taiwan
The regional differences in prevalence, medical expenditures and risk factors for injury in Taiwanese teenagers
