Health system lessons from community practice
Background: Social prescribing has become central to UK health policy, positioned as a mechanism for addressing social determinants of health through non-medical interventions. However, little is known about its relevance for refugee populations, whose experiences are shaped by poverty, legal precarity, and systemic exclusion. Limited evidence exists on which delivery models are used in health and refugee-serving initiatives. Consequently, this s…
Social prescribing for refugee populations
Background: Social prescribing addresses complex individual health and social needs through person-centered referral from healthcare into community settings, supporting wellbeing and integrated care. While evidence for majority populations continues to expand, no review has yet synthesized evidence specifically for refugee populations, despite this group facing profound social and systemic barriers. As such, this protocol defines the research obj…
Social prescribing for refugee populations
Background: Social prescribing offers potential for addressing social determinants of health and supporting health equity among disadvantaged groups. However, evidence for refugee populations remains limited, despite this group facing profound social and systemic barriers. This rapid realist review synthesizes social prescribing and comparable social-capital based intervention evidence to address this gap. Methods: We conducted a RAMESES-complian…
The role of gene-environment interactions in endocrine-sensitive life stages for shaping mental health
The number of people seeking help for mental illness is increasing across all ages, creating a major burden for individuals, families, and the society. While personalized medicine is advancing in other fields, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders remain largely symptom-based and fail to capture individual, sex, and gender differences in risk, manifestation, and treatment response. Early signs of illness often go unnoticed due to the lack o…
Understanding cancer screening participation patterns among first-generation migrants in Germany
Cancer screening (CS) is a core element of preventive care. While international studies highlight that individuals with migration backgrounds often show varied participation in CS, there is a lack of specific evidence regarding first-generation migrants from Middle Eastern countries in Germany. This study aims to bridge that gap by examining CS participation patterns within this group and exploring how individual, social, and structural factors i…
Participatory health research and promotion with migrant communities in Germany
Introduction: Participatory health research and promotion aims to foster inclusive knowledge production and address health inequities. Migrant communities, given their diverse backgrounds and health needs, are regularly engaged in PHR/P. However, the extent and ways of their participation across research phases and the integration of critical reflections in published studies from Germany remain underexplored. Methods: This scoping review followed…
More Help from Friends and Family? Trends in Determinants of Surrogate Health Information-Seeking
Friends and family members often choose to seek health information for a loved one, rather than all information-seeking being carried out by the patient for themselves. Despite the popularity of this proxy for health information-seeking behavior (PHISB), there is a lack of more current data on PHISB, as well as on changes in PHISB. We analyzed health information-seeking based on data from the two available waves of the HINTS Germany study (2018/1…
The same, but different
Understanding how the population attributes responsibility for depression is crucial for shaping the treatment of depressed individuals in society and influencing support for health-related policies. International findings suggest that responsibility attributions generally differ between countries and cultures. However, it is unknown whether they also differ between different healthcare systems within individualistic cultures. To address this res…
Impact of social isolation on mental health changes by socio-economic status
SES and social isolation critically influenced mental health changes, with substantial variability across subpopulations. Targeted interventions addressing SES inequities and fostering social connections are essential for mitigating mental health disparities, particularly among low SES groups, migrants, and refugees
Challenges and Opportunities to the Flow of Communication
To explore the information behavior in the context of child injury prevention, we conducted online focus groups with parents, professional caregivers, and intermediaries as part of a larger project. In this paper, we discuss our qualitative interview design: audiovisual, synchronous online focus groups. To do so, we analyze a crucial methodological issue of focus group interviews: the flow of communication. In our study, three main topics emerged…
Environment-related health risks, knowledge and awareness among people in precarious milieus
Introduction Precarious milieus more frequently suffer from environmental risks and show lower environmental awareness and behavior than other milieus in the German population. This study investigates the factors that influence environmental awareness in precarious milieus and the roles of environmental knowledge and the perception of environment-related health burdens. Methods A quantitative secondary data analysis of the German Environmental Aw…
Assigning Responsibility for Depression and Diabetes
Although frame building is a crucial part of framing in health communication, it is much less understood than media frames or their effects on audiences (i.e. frame setting). To address this research gap, we analyzed the individual, organizational, and external factors of influence contributing to the media's portrayal of responsibility for two major health issues: depression and diabetes. To identify relevant factors, we conducted 23 semi-struct…
Effects of Health Responsibility Frames on Attributions, Emotions, and Social Support Intentions in the Context of Dementias
When news stories cover health and diseases, they often address issues of responsibility. These responsibility frames can affect recipients’ responsibility beliefs (i.e., attributions) and thereby affect emotions and motivations to support people affected by health problems. To date, it is not fully understood how responsibility frames affect these attributions, emotions, and social support intentions in the context of dementia. In an online expe…
Real men don't talk? Relationships among depressiveness, loneliness, conformity to masculine norms, and male non-disclosure of mental distress
Men are a particularly challenging group when it comes to mental health communication. Non-disclosure of mental distress is quite common among men in general, and even more so among depressed men – despite its detrimental effects on health. Motivating men to share their mental distress with trusted social contacts serves as a vital first step in addressing and improving their mental health – both for those men who are affected by mental illness a…
“The Part Played by People” in Times of Covid-19
The study presented in this article examined individuals' interpersonal communication about media coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic. In times of a severe public health crisis, people rely heavily on media coverage to stay informed. Communicating with others about this coverage can help them gain deeper insights and evaluate pandemic-related information. According to the two-step flow of communication, opinion leaders, such as health experts, …

More than counting steps
Self-tracking technologies have been regarded both very optimistic and very critical. However, these conclusions are often based on single application studies and lack empirical evidence on actual self-tracking usage. We set out to identify types of self-tracking usage based on users’ mobile media ensembles and their varying levels of engagement with the technology. Using latent class analysis, we empirically identified three types of self-tracki…

Junge Erwachsene mit Krebs sind besonders herausgefordert, ihre Er- krankung zu managen. Zum einen haben sie mit verschiedenen (langfristigen) Begleiter- scheinungen der Therapie zu rechnen, zum anderen finden sie – weil ihr Problem altersun- typisch ist – kaum psychosoziale Unterstützung innerhalb der Gesundheitsversorgung und dem privaten Umfeld. Digitalen Medien kommt daher eine zentrale Rolle beim Manage- ment ihrer Erkrankung zu; diese werde…
How to tell the kids? Parental crisis communication during the Covid-19 pandemic
Crisis communication in a pandemic is challenging for parents, who have to explain risks and prevention measures to their children without transferring their own worries. Studies about crises indicate, that inappropriate crisis communication with children can ignite fears, worries, and even trauma among them. Recommended parental communication strategies in such situations are: (1) to consider developmental level to ensure comprehensibility; (2) …

Verbal and Visual Framing of Responsibility for Type 1 Diabetes by Patient Influencers on Instagram
Visuals remain understudied in health-related framing research. On Instagram, users who have been patients of long-term health conditions, such as type 1 diabetes (T1D), and who regularly share their experiences with a wider audience, that is, patient influencers, have become an increasingly important source of health information. Both their verbal and visual portrayal of health issues and how they frame causal and treatment responsibility for th…
Embracing challenging complexity
This study provides a holistic analytical framework for the identification of determinants on multiple levels and accumulating intersections of socially produced inequalities for handwashing and is applicable to other health topics. As the exploration of handwashing was approached from a solution-focused instead of a problem-focused perspective, the analysis can guide multi-level intervention approaches (e.g., using low-cost, participatory activi…

Gender differences in gratifications from fitness app use and implications for health interventions
Previous research has shown gender differences in the motivations to be physically active, in mobile phone gratifications, and social media usage, but so far these areas have not been studied together. Based on the uses and gratification approach and self-determination theory, we aimed to identify gender-specific gratifications and determinants of fitness app usage in combination with fitness-related Facebook groups. Results of an online survey (…

Zielgruppenspezifische Präventionsbotschaften
Um Menschen von gesundheitsschädlichem Verhalten abzuhalten, ist es notwendig, ihre Motivation dafür zu kennen. Der Band untersucht, welche alters- und geschlechtsspezifischen Funktionen Risikoverhalten insbesondere für Jugendliche hat. Forschungsergebnisse der Evolutions- und Entwicklungspsychologie betonen vor allem die sozialen Funktionen wie die Anerkennung von Gleichaltrigen und die Partnersuche.
