Workplace factors and the psychosocial conditions of work may influence drinking behaviors. Recently developed Canadian guidelines on alcohol and health recognize that the harms of alcohol consumption lie along a continuum of risk. Using data collected from a survey of people employed in the alcohol service industry from Ontario, Canada (n = 583), this study applied the risk categories defined by Canada's Guidance on Alcohol and Health (CGAH) to estimate the prevalence of low (1-2 drinks/week), moderate (3-6 drinks/week), and increasingly high-risk drinking (≥ 7 drinks/week). The study then examined which psychosocial conditions of work were associated with CGAH risk level using multinomial logistic regression. Overall, 23.2% of respondents reported consuming 1-2 drinks/week, 21.7% reported consuming 3-6 drinks/week, and 33.4.% reported consuming ≥ 7 drinks/week. Burnout, emotional demands at work, demands for hiding emotions on the job, and work-life conflict were significantly associated with CGAH risk level in bivariate analysis. Emotional demands at work were significantly associated with increasingly high-risk drinking after adjusting for demographic, employment, and health-related measures. People employed in the alcohol service industry work in fast-paced, emotionally demanding jobs where alcohol is readily available. Employers can support their employees by recognizing the emotionally demanding nature of their work and promoting CGAH to encourage employees to reduce their weekly consumption of alcohol to lower risk levels.","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"386-399"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146149402","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}

We aimed to investigate HPV vaccination intention and its associated factors in young men by conducting a web-based cross-sectional survey among men aged 18-26 years in Japan. The survey assessed sociodemographic characteristics, HPV knowledge and awareness, history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, vaccination readiness, digital health literacy, and HPV vaccination intention. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was conducted with HPV vaccination intention as the dependent variable to identify associated factors. Out of 824 respondents, 814 were included in the analysis after excluding those who had already received the HPV vaccine. Overall, 122 (15.0%) participants expressed their intention to receive the HPV vaccine. Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that HPV awareness (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.54, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-2.15), HPV knowledge (AOR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.27), vaccination readiness (AOR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.78-2.96), history of COVID-19 vaccination (AOR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.31-2.74), personal income (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.30-3.14), and employment status (AOR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.43-0.88) were significantly associated with HPV vaccination intention. In conclusion, HPV vaccination intention among young men was positively associated with HPV knowledge and awareness, attitudes toward vaccination, and personal income; conversely, regular employment was associated with reduced HPV vaccination intention. These findings suggest that increasing HPV vaccination uptake may require broadening HPV knowledge, improving attitudes toward vaccination, and reducing access barriers.","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"462-470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13249656/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147372766","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}

An anonymous, web-based cross-sectional survey was provided to attendees at the 2025 Society of Student-Run Free Clinics annual conference (Chicago, Illinois) using convenience sampling and QR-code recruitment. Two ordinal outcomes, staffing difficulty and operational disruptions, were collapsed into ordered categories. Predictors included clinic characteristics and operational factors. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression models were fit separately for each outcome. Estimates were pooled using Rubin's rules and reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Among 513 conference attendees, 154 responses were obtained (30%), and 152 respondents were identified as having completed the survey. Most clinics used an electronic medical record (83%) and reported high student participation (64% with ≥ 10 volunteers/shift). Staffing difficulty was most often reported as occasional (48%) or rare (32%). Operational disruptions were uncommon (57% never, 34% rare). Higher student volunteer retention beyond 1 year was associated with lower odds of greater staffing difficulty (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.20-0.94) and lower odds of greater operational disruptions (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.19-0.93).

Bivariate and multivariable analyses were used to examine relationships between cannabis use, sex, major depressive disorder (MDD), and suicidal intent and ideation, considering sociodemographic measures. Lifetime cannabis use, younger age, and MDD were significantly associated with lifetime suicidal ideation. The association between lifetime cannabis use and suicidal intent was stronger among males than females, while MDD was associated with nearly five times higher odds of suicidal intent. In addition, White veterans had significantly lower odds of suicidal intent compared to non-White veterans. Overall, lifetime cannabis use was associated with both lifetime suicidal ideation and suicidal intent, with sex-specific differences observed for suicidal intent. These results highlight the need to consider sex-specific, demographic, and clinical factors when developing strategies to reduce suicidal behavior in veterans.","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"471-478"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147433156","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}

Rates are significantly lower in uninsured or low-income populations, with just 7.5% and 35% receiving CRC and BC screenings, respectively. To improve presentation care delivery, a patient registry was developed at an urban, student-run free clinic serving the uninsured to track CRC and BC eligibility and screening orders. Baseline screening rates were identified through a retrospective chart review of clinic patients seen from 2021 to 2023. Process mapping was used to identify failure points in the screening workflow. A patient registry was implemented over 15 months (January 2024-March 2025) to monitor eligibility and increase screening order rates. Data collection focused on the proportion of eligible patients with appropriate screening orders placed. Average screening rates for CRC and BC prior to intervention were 18.3% and 12.6%, respectively. Following the implementation of the patient registry, rates increased to 34.4% for CRC and 30.3% for BC. The improvement in CRC screening was statistically significant, while BC screening showed early signs of positive change. Targeted identification of screening-eligible patients, regardless of visit reason, improves screening order rates. This approach may promote earlier cancer detection and improved outcomes. It is cost-effective, replicable, and adaptable to other chronic condition monitoring in student-run free clinics.","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"505-512"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147512526","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}

This study aimed to evaluate COVID-19 vaccination coverage and safety among cancer patients by analyzing the frequency, severity, and risk factors of adverse events following immunization (AEFI). A retrospective cohort of 14,430 patients receiving care at Lopburi Cancer Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022 was analyzed. Demographic and clinical data, vaccination status, and AEFI were obtained from hospital electronic medical records and the national “Mor Prom” digital health platform. Multivariable logistic regression identified factors associated with AEFI. Of the 14,430 patients, 78% received at least one-vaccine dose, and 42% received a booster (> standard two doses). Vaccine sequences varied by following as inactivated vaccines predominated for the first dose (49%), viral vectors for the second (49%), and mRNA for the third (33%). AEFI reports were mostly mild, including fever, injection site reactions, headache, and myalgia. Multivariable analysis identified younger age, female sex, and viral vector vaccines as significant predictors for AEFI. Conversely, metastatic or locally advanced cancer stages were associated with lower odds of adverse events. No severe adverse events exceeded 5% in any group. Considering AEFI, this study suggested that the COVID-19 vaccination demonstrated a favorable safety profile among Thai cancer patients, with manageable adverse events. The findings supported the continued prioritization of vaccination in vulnerable population and provided evidence to alleviate patient concerns regarding vaccine safety.","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"494-504"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147498503","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}

Equivalent terms were derived from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and expert opinions and extracted from related articles. RESULTS: Out of 82 initially identified articles, 19 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed qualitatively. Four major themes emerged: the preventive role of mosques in curbing COVID-19 through education, support, healthcare collaboration, and vaccination efforts; religious adaptation through modified rituals and flexible jurisprudence; contributions to economic resilience via aid distribution, employment programs, and financial support; and the critical influence of spiritual leadership, highlighting both constructive and controversial responses during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: Mosques have emerged as multifaceted institutions capable of delivering integrated public health interventions, psychosocial support, and spiritual guidance during the COVID-19 crisis. Evidence suggests that institutionalizing mosque-based crisis response mechanisms through structured preparedness planning and cross-sectoral collaboration (with healthcare systems and government agencies) could substantially improve community resilience and optimize faith-based responses to future public health emergencies.","PeriodicalId":15550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health","volume":" ","pages":"400-412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146258250","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}
