This study examines perceptions of alcohol advertisements and perceived peer, adult, and parental attitudes regarding alcohol use and intentions to drink among vulnerable youth. The Kampala Youth Survey is a cross-sectional study conducted in 2014 with service-seeking youth (ages 12-18 years) living in the slums of Kampala (n=1,134) who were participating in Uganda Youth Development Link drop-in centers. Survey measures assessed perceptions of alcohol ads, social norms regarding alcohol use, and intentions to drink alcohol. Chi-square tests and structural equation modeling analyses were computed. Among participants, 32% reported intentions to drink alcohol. In fully adjusted multivariable models, current drinking status (AdjOR=5.13; 95%CI:3.93, 6.72) and perceived attractive alcohol ads (AdjOR=3.71; 95%CI:2.88, 4.78) were most strongly associated with the intention to drink. Analyses examining social norms as a moderator between perceptions of alcohol ads and intention to drink found that peer networks that disapproved of drinking were protective against intent to drink. Perceived alcohol advertisement effectiveness and peer networks supportive of alcohol use are associated with intentions to drink among both boys and girls in Kampala and are not buffered by parental disapproval of drinking. Reducing exposure to alcohol marketing and developing prevention programs that strengthen peer networks disapproving of underage alcohol use and reduce exposure to alcohol marketing may be promising strategies among these vulnerable youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":45149,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Promotion and Education","volume":" ","pages":"546-562"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11670886/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47263296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Universities in Australia have begun to introduce policies that support health promotion activities. This study explores one such area of health promotion activity, the introduction of university tobacco policies. This research documents the aims of these policies, their development, and whether their implementation aligns with the stated goals. Policy and supporting documents were downloaded from the public facing websites of 23 Australian universities identified as having tobacco policy. Policies were analysed using a purpose-built policy and document analysis tool that allowed the examination of the motivations and processes behind the policy development and an exploration of consistencies across policy objectives. This research found that policy background and legislative obligations were clearly and uniformly stated, as were the smoke-free policy goals. Some universities provided clear policy intent, such as measurable goals or links between motivation, goals, and outcomes; however, many of the policies and supporting documents did not demonstrate key aspects of the policy process. This research should be encouraging for the increasing number of educational institutions that are developing health promoting policies, but it is also a timely reminder that policy development processes should be more transparent, documenting motivation and incorporating evaluation, to ensure they are fully understood and sustainable. This research reveals the need for further detailed policy analysis within the university setting and other organisational settings to better understand what sits behind the policy landscape visible through publicly available documentation.KEYWORDS: Healthy universitieshealth policyUniversityhealth promotionsmoke-free Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.The article aligns with the scope of this journal as it highlights health promotion within the Australian tertiary sector and discusses, through policy document analysis, how and why Australian universities develop and implement smoke-free policies. Policy analysis is limited within the tertiary sector in Australia, and this research recommends the need for further policy analysis and stronger health promoting policy development that supports transparency, consistency and sustainability.","PeriodicalId":45149,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Promotion and Education","volume":"79 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135036973","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}

Information contributes to individuals achieving their full health potential and is essential in informed decision-making. Whilst many women are satisfied with their decision to have risk-reducing surgery, some will experience regret. Informed decision-making may be important in reducing any associated psychological harm. This study aimed to explore satisfaction with information accessed by patients regarding their risk-reducing mastectomy and better understand their informational needs for risk-reducing surgery decision-making Semi-structured interviews were conducted pre- and post-operatively with 22 women undergoing risk-reducing mastectomies for BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants with no breast cancer history at the Nottingham Breast Institute. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted. Four themes were constructed: Sources of information, Informational needs, Uses of information and Impacts of information. A broad spectrum of information sources were used with an apparent hierarchy. Information from clinicians and lived experiences were preferred to written and online sources. Some participants felt their informational needs were met, others found the information contradictory, cancer-focused and jargon filled. Participants required information early enough to be useful. Informational needs differed between individuals which affected the desired format. Participants informational needs were distinct from women with breast cancer undergoing a mastectomy. Encouraging active and informed decision-making could be important to reduce regret and the associated psychological harm some women experience following a risk-reducing mastectomy. This research offers insights into the informational needs of this distinct cohort and recommendations will guide patient information development.KEYWORDS: Informational needshealth promotiondecision-making, cancer genetics AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank the participants involved in this research without whom this would not have been possible.

However, despite the importance of producing healthy, physically active graduates, there are limited data on the physical fitness of future healthcare professionals. This cross-sectional observational study determined the prevalence of below-average fitness in the four components of fitness in first-year university medical students. 152 participants (46 male, 106 female, 20.16 ± 2.69 years) completed cardiorespiratory fitness tests (submaximal step test), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), muscle strength (handgrip), and muscle endurance tests (sit-ups, push-ups). Sex differences were reported using one-way ANOVA or Chi square test and significance was set at p &lt; 0.05. The prevalence (%) of below-average fitness was 69.54% for cardiorespiratory, 25.66% for handgrip strength, 65.79% for sit-ups, 23.03% for push-ups and 7.24% for flexibility. Physical fitness parameters (mean±standard deviation (SD)) were compared between sexes, where it was found that females were more flexible than males (40.61 ± 8.40 cm vs 36.70 ± 9.31 cm, p = 0.012). Males had better handgrip strength (88.96 ± 12.04 kg vs 59.34 ± 10.36 kg, p &lt; 0.001), muscle endurance sit-ups (33.46 ± 9.04 vs 24.48 ± 12.18, p &lt; 0.001) and push-ups (30.28 ± 13.95 vs 24.27 ± 12.35, p = 0.009). First-year medical students have poor physical fitness, notably cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength, which are important markers for NCD risk assessment. Tertiary institutions training healthcare professionals should consider developing interventions to improve students’ physical fitness thereby influencing their health, wellbeing, academic performance and future counselling practices.KEYWORDS: Health behaviourphysical activityaerobicstrengthflexibility Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was partially supported by the International Olympic Committee [Research Grant for IOC Research Center of South Africa].Notes on contributorsJill BorresenJill Borresen, PhD Sport, Exercise Medicine and Lifestyle Institute (SEMLI) and IOC Research Centre of South Africa, University of Pretoria, Hatfield, Pretoria, 0028, South Africa.Bert CelieBert Celie, PhD Sport, Exercise Medicine and Lifestyle Institute (SEMLI) and IOC Research Centre of South Africa, University of Pretoria, Hatfield, Pretoria, 0028, South Africa.Ria LaubscherRia Laubscher, BCom(Maths) Biostatistics Unit, South African Medical Research Council, Cape Town, Western Cape, 7505, South Africa.Martin BacMartin Bac, M Fam Med, MD Department of Family Medicine, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 0028, South Africa.Paola WoodPaola Silvia Wood PhD, Department of Physiology and Sport, Exercise Medicine and Lifestyle Institute (SEMLI), University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 0028, South Africa.T","PeriodicalId":45149,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Promotion and Education","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135884757","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}
