Our intension was to investigate mental health and social well-being in these children over a long period of time. Method Two follow-ups were conducted, in 2003 and in 2018. In 2003 the follow-up, included a semi-structured interview and six self-report scales (SCL-90, Coping with parent´s abuse, Social interaction, AUDIT, DUDIT and a Stress questionnaire). In 2018 the same scales were used, complemented with the EQ5D questionnaire and a standardized life situation formula. Results In 2003, 50% of the 44 attendees worked full-time or part-time. However, sons showed higher values on AUDIT and DUDIT (alcohol and drug use). In 2018, half of the 25 attendees had continued to study. Coping, AUDIT and social interaction changed significantly over time, coping and AUDIT for the better. The EQ5D showed lower quality of life compared to the normal Swedish population, and the life situation questionnaire revealed high levels of stress. Conclusion Most attendees had completed their school education, and half of them reported further studies. However, in the 2018 follow-up, they showed increased mental and physical symptoms.","PeriodicalId":311770,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Health Promotion - Research and Best Practice for patients, staff and community","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131272688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand stakeholder priorities, we conducted a virtual vision-casting session utilizing a graphic recorder and content analysis. Stakeholders responded to the question: “If you had three magic wishes for SCD in TN, what would they be?”. Wishes for SCD centered around information and data, care and policy, and community. Better patient-centered information about treatments and modernization of data were high priorities. Stakeholders identified a need for heath equity, starting with lifetime continuity of care and access to curative treatment for all persons with SCD. Key points concerning the community included better patient inclusion in research, increased awareness, and greater public knowledge. SCD patients expressed a desire for honesty, transparency, compassion, and trust. Key areas to address in SCD include better data coordination, more influence on health policy, broader access to care and more community awareness, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of persons with SCD. Using data to improve care and address health disparities will require researchers listening to stakeholders and understanding multiple perspectives to form unified goals.","PeriodicalId":311770,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Health Promotion - Research and Best Practice for patients, staff and community","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115636429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are also opportunities as well such as increased national and global focus on non-communicable diseases, partnership with stakeholders in national and global health, leveraging on democratic governance, leveraging on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and leveraging on the systems through which communities deal with stroke.

Hospitals and healthcare services were chosen as possible settings to understand these reasons and identify the gap. Methods Questionnaires (open-ended questions) were completed throughout the year 2017 with experts working at International level in the field of children’s rights. A survey was set up using a structured multiple-choice questionnaire in Italian, English, and French. The survey was addressed to hospital staff (professionals; managers and administrative staff). All the results from the experts’ questionnaires and from the survey were elaborated using Excel. Result Experts concluded that professionals still have to understand the full value of implementing children’s rights in hospitals and that the United Nations should empower their own action in order to push states towards the respect and full realization of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The survey results seem to confirm that in healthcare settings professionals’ have difficulties in understanding how to relate to children in order to facilitate the full realization of their right to health.

The aim was to compare the effectiveness of ‘Come & Quit’, a flexible, intensive smoking cessation intervention (SCI) with the Danish gold standard programme (GSP). Second, we aimed to identify whether gender was important among disadvantaged and heavy smokers. Methods This was a prospective cohort study based on the Danish National Smoking Cessation Database. From 2011-2016, we included 24,930 smokers from smoking cessation units throughout Denmark; 5,750 received ‘Come & Quit’, and 19,180 received the GSP. Results A total of 16,348 respondents were included in the outcome analyses on continuous abstinence after six months. Thirty-five percent remained successful quitters. Under the Russell criterion, the crude quit rate was 23.0%. The most important predictor was compliance. Overall, men had 3.0-3.1% higher quit rates than women for both programmes. The fully adjusted model confirmed the significantly higher success among men (OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.07-1.23). Two multivariable logistic regression analyses for men and women showed no statistically significant differences between ‘Come & Quit’ and the GSP for men (OR=1.06, 0.92-1.23) or women (OR=0.94, 0.82-1.08).
