Recently, attempts have been made to facilitate the integration of public mental health care into general healthcare systems in South Africa. It is well established that the country's public healthcare system faces numerous multifaceted challenges - including very limited human, structural and material resources needed to accommodate and treat patients. We studied the experiences and opinions of public healthcare workers at primary healthcare clinics and the associated referral hospitals, focusing mainly on exploring their views on the ability and readiness for access to and provision of mental health to state health patients.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), the Mental Illness: Clinicians' Attitudes Scale (MICA-4) and a purpose-made questionnaire were used for data collection. The data from the MAKS and MICA-4 were imported into IBM SPSS Statistics Software to yield descriptive information, and Spearman's rank correlations were performed between the measures. The purpose-made questionnaire produced descriptive quantitative data and qualitative data that were analysed through conventional content analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Results from the MAKS suggest that participants experienced gaps in mental health knowledge and had fair levels of familiarity and ability to recognise different mental health conditions. Results from the MICA-4 suggest that participants in our study generally displayed a positive attitude towards people with mental illness and aspects involving psychiatry. Quantitative results from the purpose-made questionnaire describe aspects around mental health services, training, resources and care.

Community input is essential for successful programs; however, there is little research exploring the perspectives of frontline workers providing these programs. To gain a better understanding of how to support maternal-child health program success a research partnership was formed with the KidsFirst North program in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Using a community-based participatory research approach, this study was codeveloped to (1) explore families', frontline workers', and administrators' perceptions of factors that contribute to the success and barriers of a program for Indigenous families; and (2) describe the current role of frontline workers within health program planning, implementation, and evaluation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>From September 2019 to January 2020, data were collected through in-person meetings, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews with KidsFirst North families (n=9), frontline workers (n=18), and administrators (n=7) from 11 sites in Northern Saskatchewan.

The settings-based approach, rooted in WHO's Health for All initiative, emphasizes community involvement, collaboration, and equity. Community-based health promotion, especially in rural and remote areas where there is a higher proportion of underserved populations, can leverage community assets and promote health equity. Student-led health promotion initiatives are gaining traction, benefiting both students and communities. Reach Acc&egrave;s Zhibbi (RAZ), a student-led organization in Sudbury, Ontario in Canada delivers evidence-based health promotion workshops to vulnerable populations, promoting health literacy and equity. This study examines the impact of RAZ's workshops, addressing a gap in research on student-led, non-clinical health promotion efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This cross-sectional mixed-methods study examined RAZ workshops at five partnering community agencies. Data was collected with two surveys: a web-based survey for staff and a paper-based survey for workshop participants. The first gathered perspectives on long-term impacts of the workshops, while participant surveys were given before and after the workshops to assess baseline knowledge, learning, and behavioural intent. The surveys were developed using the Health Behaviour Scale-16 and were designed at a grade 5 reading level for accessibility. Data analysis involved frequency analysis and Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess perceived learning gains. Thematic analysis was conducted on qualitative data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Seven employees from three of the five partnering agencies rated the effectiveness of RAZ workshops, with a mean score of 9 out of 10. They highlighted benefits such as increased knowledge, skills, and mental wellness. Thematic analysis identified three key themes: long-term impact, practical application, and mutual collaboration. Among 33 workshop participants, significant improvements were observed in health literacy, decision-making, and physical and mental health knowledge post-workshop. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test on adjusted change scores for pre- and post-workshop data revealed statistically significant gains in perceived learning across all aspects. Most attendees found the workshop helpful, with 57.6% planning behaviour changes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study showed that interprofessional student-led health promotion workshops effectively enhance health literacy and empower underserved communities.

The program was unique for both its regional location and focus on supporting young people with their legal matters.

One of the SDG3 targets is to reduce under-five mortality and infant mortality. In rural areas of Indonesia, there is a lack of access to medical facilities (healthcare services, anthropometry tools) and health workers, so low birth weight (LBW, <2500 g) in rural areas remains high.
