We aimed to identify priorities for equity-oriented neighbourhood care. We conducted a participatory mixed-methods study informed by the Medical Research Council framework and group concept mapping. Sixteen stakeholders participated: three CYP, seven parents, five healthcare professionals (HCPs), and one community stakeholder. Participants generated, sorted, and rated candidate components. Group data were analysed separately using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis, then synthesised through stakeholder interpretation and consensus. The Rainbow Model of Integrated Care informed interpretation. HCPs and community stakeholders refined 38 candidate neighbourhood-care statements to 27 and generated five clusters; families refined 52 candidate neighbourhood-care statements to 36 and generated four clusters. Seven priorities were co-developed: tailored information, local access, and pathway communication; named coordination; workforce capability; shared care-planning tools; multidisciplinary working; parent/carer support; and embedded mental health support. Communication, local access, and navigation were relatively feasible, whereas mental health and cross-sector integration were resource-dependent. A stakeholder-informed programme theory linked components to accountability, information-sharing, culturally responsive care, earlier escalation, and reduced family burden. The findings translate neighbourhood-care policy into co-developed, equity-oriented priorities for CYP with MLTCs in South London. Communication, local access, and coordination offer practical starting points, while mental health and cross-sector integration require phased resourcing and leadership. These priorities may inform adaptation in European child health systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":12059,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Public Health","volume":"36 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13671751/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149192060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because such programmes are jointly produced by health and social services financed from separate budgets, the authority that pays is often not the authority that saves. We estimated the annual public-sector cost of scaling Sweden's extended home visiting programme nationally, and how it distributes between regional healthcare and municipal social services. A scenario-based costing analysis from a public-payer perspective. National registers gave an annual target population of 14 349 families. Unit costs came from micro-costing four pilot sites in disadvantaged areas in 2021. Three scenarios were modelled: a National Standard base case, a Facility-Based Adaptation, and an Enhanced Pilot. Costs are in 2023 Euros. Unit cost per family ranged from EUR 512 (Facility-Based) to EUR 1128 (Enhanced Pilot). Scaling the National Standard model would cost EUR 8.31 million annually, the Enhanced Pilot EUR 11.33 million. Regional healthcare carried 70%-76% of costs under every delivery model, because coordination, supervision, and training are overwhelmingly nurse and midwife time. Implementation choices change total cost but not its distribution between payers. Moving contacts from the home to a facility halves the cost and removes the setting through which the programme is theorized to reach marginalized families, without rebalancing the burden. Because the asymmetry follows from how the programme is staffed, scale-up requires explicit cross-sectoral financing agreements wherever health and social care budgets are held separately.</p>","PeriodicalId":12059,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Public Health","volume":"36 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13614793/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149059448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this registry-based study was to compare overtime association of vaccination and early pregnancy outcomes. Twenty thousand four hundred twenty-six women born in 1992-1995, who participated in a Finnish community-randomized human papillomavirus vaccination trial, and age- and community-aligned unvaccinated controls born in 1990-1991 (n = 19 473) were followed up for 11 years. Data was obtained from the nationwide Finnish Care Register for Health Care. Incidence rates of adverse early pregnancy outcomes were compared between the human papillomavirus vaccinated and unvaccinated group. The mean age at first abnormal pregnancy result was 23.5 years in the human papillomavirus vaccinated group and 22.2 years in the unvaccinated group. 1.6% of human papillomavirus vaccinated women experienced a miscarriage compared with 5.3% of unvaccinated controls (P < .0001). No miscarriages occurred in close temporal proximity to vaccination. Rates of ectopic pregnancies were low and comparable across all groups (0.6-1.0%). Among women with a history of abnormal pregnancy outcomes, 55.6% of human papillomavirus vaccinated individuals had at least one live birth, compared with 70.3% of unvaccinated women. Human papillomavirus vaccination was not associated with an increased risk of miscarriage or other adverse early pregnancy outcomes. These results provide reassurance that human papillomavirus vaccination is safe with respect to reproductive outcomes, supporting its continued use in adolescent and young adult populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":12059,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Public Health","volume":"36 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13467021/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148720030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
