Equipping our public health nutrition workforce to promote planetary health
Objective: The public health nutrition workforce is well placed to contribute to bold climate action; however, tertiary educators are seeking practical examples of how to adequately prepare our future workforce. This study examines the responses of university students engaged in a co-designed planetary health education workshop as part of their public health nutrition training. Design: A mixed-methods approach was used to collect and interpret st…
Untreated Allergy Among Middle School Students
BACKGROUND Many adolescents with allergy do not receive physician treatment (allergy untreated ). We explored its association with socioeconomic adversities and academic‐behavior‐health difficulties, which remain unaddressed. METHODS This cross‐sectional school‐based‐population study compared the above factors of middle‐school adolescents with allergy untreated and those with treated allergy (allergy treated ) (mean age = 13.5 ± 1.2) from north‐e…
Re‐engagement of Early Adolescents with Severe School Issues in School/Professional Project Reduces School‐Behavior‐Health Problems
BACKGROUND: In France, 3.2 million middle-school students have serious/persistent school difficulties and are re-engaged in adapted-general/vocational-education class (AGVEC), created to early re-engage them in school/professional projects. We assessed the AGVEC's benefits for school-behavior-health-related difficulties (SBHDs). METHODS: This population-based study compared 83 AGVEC students (mean age = 14.4 ± 1.1) with 1559 regular-class student…
Association between Suicide Ideation and Attempts and Being an Immigrant among Adolescents, and the Role of Socioeconomic Factors and School, Behavior, and Health-Related Difficulties
The risk of suicide behaviors in immigrant adolescents varies across countries and remains partly understood. We conducted a study in France to examine immigrant adolescents' likelihood of experiencing suicide ideation in the last 12 months (SI) and lifetime suicide attempts (SA) compared with their native counterparts, and the contribution of socioeconomic factors and school, behavior, and health-related difficulties. Questionnaires were complet…
Association Between Health-Related Quality of Life and Being an Immigrant Among Adolescents, and the Role of Socioeconomic and Health-Related Difficulties
To develop satisfactorily, adolescents require good health-related quality of life (QOL, including physical health, psychological health, social relationships and living environment). However, for poorly understood reasons, it is often lacking, especially among immigrants with lower family and socioeconomic resources. This study assessed health-related QOL of European and non-European immigrant adolescents and the contributions of socioeconomic d…
Socioeconomic inequities patterns of multi-morbidity in early adolescence
Multi-morbidity including a wide range of mental health, behavioral, and school difficulties was common in early adolescence. Insufficient income and non-intact families played impressive roles. Being immigrant, low parents' education, and low fathers' occupations also played strong roles but these were explained by insufficient income and non-intact families. Prevention against multi-morbidity should be designed to help adolescents to solve thei…
Self-reporting and measurement of body mass index in adolescents
BMIsr and BMIm were affected by numerous biases related to vulnerability which were also obesity risk factors. BMIsr encountered under/over-reporting which were related to some socioeconomic and health-related factors, weight perception, and BMIm. BMIm was more affected by refusals than BMIsr due to socioeconomic and health-related factors. Further research is needed
School difficulties in immigrant adolescent students and roles of socioeconomic factors, unhealthy behaviours, and physical and mental health
Compared with French students, European immigrant students were more affected only by grade repetition while non-European immigrant students by all grade repetition, low school performance, and school dropout ideation. The contribution of socioeconomic characteristics, physical health, psychological health, social relationships, living environment, and unhealthy behaviours was very high and much higher for non-European than for European immigrant…
