Indicators of violence included physical fighting, school bullying and cyberbullying (from 2018). Log-binomial regression models were used to test for linear temporal trends, with Generalized Estimating Equations used to account for clustering by country.Results: School bullying perpetration and victimization declined over time in each age/gender group in most countries. Similar declines were reported for frequent physical fighting among boys (all ages) and girls (age 15 only). The prevalence of violent behaviour was almost universally higher in boys in the early cycles than in girls, but this gender difference attenuated over time. For cyberbullying, significant increases were observed since 2018 in all groups except age 15 girls in most countries.Conclusion: This analysis of a large cross-national dataset suggests a decline in traditional forms of adolescent violence. However, the increases in cyberbullying warrant further monitoring.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1607654"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11891013/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143596941","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 study data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire, and an \"inductive content analysis technique\" was used to analyze the data.Results: The study identified four main themes. The first theme, \"The Meaning of Having Children,\" reveals that women view children as the essence of their lives and as a source of security for the future. The second theme, \"Opinions on the Number of Children,\" highlights that financial concerns and pressure from family and the surrounding environment play a significant role in decisions regarding the number of children. The third theme, \"Views on Family Planning,\" shows that while women are aware of family planning methods, their use is often limited due to economic, cultural, and religious factors. Lastly, the fourth theme, \"Views on Unplanned Pregnancies,\" indicates that unplanned pregnancies are commonly regarded as \"God's will,\" and abortion is generally deemed inappropriate due to religious beliefs.Conclusion: Cultural, religious, and economic factors significantly affect women's access to and use of family planning services.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1607967"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11882361/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143572839","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}

While parental supervision and home environment are key factors influencing these injuries, few studies have explored the correlation between them. This study aimed to examine the relationship between home environment, parental supervision, and unintentional home injuries, and to investigate whether parental supervision mediates this relationship.Methods: This study, conducted in Shanghai, China from June to August in 2023, using a convenience sample. Paper questionnaires were distributed to 600 parents of children, assessing unintentional injuries, parent supervision (using parent supervision attributes profile questionnaire), in-home environmental risk scale and demographic variables. A bootstrap test was applied to assess the mediating role of parental supervision.Results: Both in-home environment risks and parental supervision were significantly related to unintentional home injuries in children under 3. Moreover, parental supervision was found to partially mediate the relationship between environmental risks and injuries, explaining 14.2% of the total effect.Conclusion: Children under 3 were highly vulnerable to unintentional home injuries. Enhancing parental supervision may reduce the impact of environmental risks on injury occurrence. These findings offer practical guidance for health practitioners, underscoring the value of community-based interventions and tailored educational programs for injury prevention. Future research should explore intervention effectiveness and long-term outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1606726"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11882363/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143572836","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}

We find that extreme temperatures have particularly stronger positive effect on hospital admission and inpatient care utilization among old and poor patients. The fiscal impact of extreme temperatures is greater in areas with more generous income eligibility criteria for public health insurance.Conclusion: The study advances our understanding of how extreme temperatures affect healthcare utilization of low-income and elderly populations and the roles public health insurance plays in supporting them from increasing weather risks.
