The certification of smallpox eradication in the People's Republic of China (PRC, or China) exemplifies the multifaceted nature of the certification. Despite eradicating smallpox in the early 1960s, before the Global Smallpox Eradication Programme (SEP) intensified in 1967, China was one of the last countries certified as smallpox-free by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1979. The WHO encountered notable resistance during the certification of smallpox eradication in China. This article examines the underlying motivations propelling China's resistance, the factors that contributed to the shifts in its stance, the challenges navigated by the WHO, and the ultimate achievement of certification despite controversies surrounding its transparency and credibility. Through the case of the certification of smallpox eradication, the article provides a historical context of China's selective engagement in global health governance, emphasising the critical importance of building a trusting relationship between the WHO and its member states. It offers insights for fostering effective collaboration among diverse stakeholders driven by varied political agendas in addressing shared global health challenges such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2326011"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140109836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Questionnaires and focused group discussions were used to collect the data. Stata version 15.0 and thematic analysis were used to analyze quantitative and qualitative data respectively.Results: Of the respondents, 151 (39.4%) had ever donated blood and 50.4% had good knowledge about blood donation. The commonest motivating factor towards blood donation was \"to save someone's life\". Factors associated with practices towards blood donation included: religion, year 2 of study and prior blood donation history. Being Jehovah's Witness reduced the willingness to donate blood by 88% compared to other religions. Thematic analysis revealed four themes namely; students' experiences and thoughts, driving forces to donate blood, fears and misconceptions, and suggestions to increase blood donors.Conclusion: The proportion of undergraduate medical students who had adequate level of knowledge about blood donation was moderately high, however, some of their perceptions towards it were unconventional. To ensure safe and adequate blood supply, design of strategies and tailored programs that promote blood donation is highly recommended..","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2311679"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139702293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mental health services in Colombia are fragmented, inadequate, and difficult to access for many. Young people's help-seeking is often hindered by mental health stigma and/or poor experiences with services. This paper presents a thematic analysis of qualitative data from a mixed-methods study aimed at developing and testing a mental health intervention for Colombian youths. We draw upon theoretical lenses from scholarly work on stigma and Sen's 'capabilities approach' to inform our analysis of interviews and group discussions with staff and young people involved in the state-funded human capital building programme 'Jovenes en Acción' (JeA). By illustrating how study participants talked about stigma, vulnerability, mental health services organisation, and the challenges of discussing mental health topics in a learning environment, we illuminate aspects of mental health support and anti-stigma interventions that might need enhancing. In particular, we suggest that more emphasis on 'community competencies' as complementary to and interrelated with individual competencies would strengthen young people's individual and collective resources for mental wellbeing while being in line with the sociocritical principles of existing human capital-enhancing programmes.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2346947"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140891812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low - and middle-income countries (LMIC) are increasingly targeted by the alcohol industry. Intersectoral and whole-of-community actions are recommended to combat alcohol harms, but there is insufficient global evidence synthesis and research examining interventions in LMIC. This paper maps existing literature on whole-of - community and intersectoral alcohol harms reduction interventions in high-income countries (HIC) and LMIC. Systematic searching and screening produced 61 articles from an initial set of 1325: HIC (n = 53), LMIC (n = 8). Data were extracted on geographic location, intersectoral action, reported outcomes, barriers, and enablers. HIC interventions most often targeted adolescents and combined community action with other components. LMIC interventions did not target adolescents or use policy, schools, alcohol outlets, or enforcement components. Programme enablers were a clear intervention focus with high political support and local level leadership, locally appropriate plans, high community motivation, community action and specific strategies for parents. Challenges were sustainability, complexity of interventions, managing participant expectations and difficulty engaging multiple sectors. A learning agenda to pilot, scale and sustain whole-of-community approaches to address alcohol harms in settings is crucial, with consideration of local contexts and capacities, more standardised methods, and a focus on community-driven action.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2357211"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141446066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Respondents indicated that integration is enhancing health services, providing an opportunity to strengthen them and improve coverage and access for refugees and host populations. Factors affecting integration include gaps in policy and implementation, ineffective systems and structures for service delivery, inadequate coordination and management and inadequate funding. At the service level challenges including inadequate infrastructure, shortage of health workers and stock out of medicines and essential supplies affect the integration of health services. Overall, structural and systemic issues continue to affect the integration of health services.

This is changing as part of international calls to decolonise global health and stimulate 'empowerment', spawning a growing initiative to hire local photographers. This article, based on interviews with global health photographers, reflects on this paradigm shift. It highlights how behind the laudable aim of 'empowerment' of local global health photography there is a simultaneous exploitation of precarious photographer labour and the emergence of 'glocal' photography elites. The paper argues that empowerment of local photographers can become a euphemism for reducing image production costs and maintaining control over the image content, while extending the scope of mainstream global health visual culture without challenging it. Finally, the article amplifies the growing concern that uncritical engagement with institutionalised empowerment becomes a warrant for the reproduction of local inequalities behind the fashionable façade of cooperation and care.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2394811"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142035689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

University policy was based on the conception of COVID-19 as short-term, with a defined recovery timeline. Despite perceptions that young people face lower risks for prolonged recovery, our study reveals a different reality.Among 36 students with COVID-19, twelve experienced symptoms for over one month. Ten semi-structured interviews revealed heterogenous recovery experiences: good, mild, moderate, and difficult. We also explored how diverse recoveries interacted with academic work. Lingering symptoms ranged from smell loss to brain fog and prolonged fatigue.The unpredictability of recovery made it difficult to attribute symptoms to COVID-19 or academic work pressure. In the context of expectations to resume academic work, some students failed to recognise their ongoing struggles. An absence of conversation regarding recovery in a demanding academic environment renders diverse recovery experiences invisible. Our findings emphasise the need for a broader conceptualisation of COVID-19 recovery amongst young people and call for further research exploring the interaction between students' illness experiences and the fast-paced academic environment.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2372788"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141619820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
