Regulations have been imposed in some jurisdictions to attempt to address potential harms. Two recent policy studies assessed companies’ compliance (but more often, non-compliance) with those regulations. The first study found that a supposed ‘ban’ on loot boxes in Belgium was not enforced so the product remained widely accessible. A preprint reporting this was widely publicised by the media. This enhanced awareness led to companies newly complying with the law and helped policymakers to view the practicality of banning loot boxes with more due scepticism. Researchers should consider actively sharing non-peer-reviewed preprint results to protect consumers more promptly. The second study found that, contrary to regulations, many games with loot boxes were not labelled. Subsequent engagement with the media and the industry self-regulators caused remedial actions to be taken: unlabelled games have since been correctly labelled, and non-compliant companies have been punished with (albeit insignificant) fines. The societal impacts of loot box policy studies demonstrate the importance of actively communicating research results to the public through media engagement and challenging companies and regulators when they are not complying with or enforcing regulations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100018"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000188/pdfft?md5=1156b38f92e908b03961240acfcf92cc&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000188-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134656757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores quizzes as a strategy to test food packaging disposal knowledge and encourage engagement in UK consumers of varying ages. Three hundred and eleven consumers (4–85 years) completed the food packaging symbols and disposal quizzes at various community-based events. In summary, quiz performance was encouraging; however, it was associated with various knowledge gaps such as symbols (tidyman and green dot) and disposal (cleaning and mixed materials). Positively, nearly 90 % of consumers are interested in modulating future food packaging disposal behaviour; hence, capitalising on such findings is key going forwards. Therefore, the use of quizzes was an effective strategy to engage consumers with appropriate disposal in community settings. Future work should focus on ensuring consumers have access to relevant information coupled with improved recycling infrastructure so that households can easily implement everyday sustainable food packaging behaviour.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100017"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000176/pdfft?md5=5cfeedf81bab840ebdabf5a3a77b9504&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000176-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134832872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, increased industrial use of nanomaterials raised concerns whether nanomaterial exposure could pose occupational health risks similar to asbestos. In 2012, the National Research Centre for the Working Environment (NFA) established the ‘Danish Centre for Nanosafety’ with the aim to provide evidence-based knowledge for policy advice on occupational handling of nanomaterials. Relevant stakeholders including the Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA), the Danish Environment Protection Agency, and the social partners were engaged. The project achieved societal impact in various ways: NFA produced documentation for health-based occupational exposure limits for three engineered nanomaterials and diesel exhaust nanoparticles at the request of WEA. Denmark adopted a national occupational exposure limit for diesel particles in 2021. WEA made a guidance document on safe handling of nanomaterials. The Working Environment Council published fact sheets based on knowledge from NFA aimed at both nanomaterial providers and enterprises using nanomaterials. A revised law made it compulsory to register the presence of nanomaterials in products in the Danish Product Registry. Finally, the Danish Centre for Nanosafety supported development of a free, web-based control-banding tool for occupational risk assessment and -management of nanomaterials (NanoSafer.org).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100016"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000164/pdfft?md5=efd9db236b0f7c9f8e4f37aaf01c1292&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000164-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134656758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluating anti-doping education became mandatory with the introduction of the International Standard for Education. We argue that anti-doping education has the potential to have a social and societal impact not only in the sport context but beyond. Following this, we advise that outcome evaluation of anti-doping education should be holistic and focus on this social and societal impact rather than relying solely on outputs (what is delivered). To generate and evaluate the true impact of anti-doping education, we need to move beyond educating and start focusing on developing athletes’ competency instead. Adopting the personal agency concept and building on our preliminary work with anti-doping literacy, we propose one feasible way of designing such holistic evaluation tool. We argue that the mandatory evaluation should be approached from the impact angle and worked backwards to map what knowledge and skills are necessary to fulfil the impact, which should inform the content of anti-doping education – not the other way around.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100010"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949697723000103/pdfft?md5=047e0d61fe7a50f3b29e5fefc4591c09&pid=1-s2.0-S2949697723000103-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92136243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the United States, university-led initiatives are being promoted to provide experiential learning platforms to empower students for climate action. One such example is community gardens. This paper examined the societal benefits derived by a group of university students from engaging in community-based learning through the University of Arizona Community Garden (UACG). Based on interviews, participant observation, and students-based activities, the findings revealed that the community garden provided psychosocial benefits such as social interaction, and connection with nature. The findings highlight the co-benefits of integrating community garden projects into community-based learning pedagogies to realize psychosocial and environmental benefits. Scaling up such interventions through collaboration with community organizations can advance the role of higher education in the achievement of the SDGs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"Article 100011"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50191343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
