The Studying Alcohol and Related Risks (STARR) intervention was efficacious in reducing young adult alcohol-related risky sexual behavior, including reducing the number of casual sexual partners and alcohol use prior to sex. We conducted a qualitative study to guide the adaptation of the STARR intervention to include additional content on contraceptive use and prepare for dissemination of the intervention to a community audience. We conducted 10 focus groups with young adults (n = 16) and semistructured interviews with local community stakeholders (n = 12) to examine: (a) intervention characteristics, such as compatibility, adaptability, and design and packaging and (b) dissemination and communication channels. Focus groups and interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed. Participants found the proposed intervention acceptable and highlighted the need to promote STI prevention among young adults. Participants viewed text-based interventions as accessible and effective. Key considerations included developing personalized messages from credible sources, using gender-inclusive language, and sending messages at strategic timepoints. Social media (Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok), events, and campus resources were described as avenues to create awareness and disseminate information about the proposed intervention. Findings demonstrate the need for innovative and tailored young adult health programs that incorporate multilevel dissemination strategies.

Approximately one third of New York City residents reported use of emergency food services in the pandemic's first year and, in 2021, approximately 1 in 10 NYS residents was food insecure, with rates among Hispanic and Black New Yorkers more than double that of White residents. Although these numbers have decreased following the acute phase of the pandemic, disparities by race and ethnicity persist and use of emergency food services remain elevated for New Yorkers born outside of the United States. Despite this, few policies and interventions that aim to improve the charitable and emergency food systems focus on the cultural relevance and appropriateness of foods provided. In 2022, researchers conducted 12 interviews with key stakeholders from organizations and institutions providing food distribution services to culturally diverse New Yorkers to understand barriers and facilitators related to providing culturally appropriate foods and elicit lessons learned and recommendations to inform future programs and policies. Findings from this study indicate that organizations serving diverse communities recognize the importance of providing culturally appropriate food services and make efforts to tailor these services accordingly. However, they face challenges that limit their capacity to offer foods consistent with the dietary needs and preferences of their clients.

First codified as the Health Education and Publicity Section in the early 1920s, we trace the history and challenges of using new modes of publicity such as motion pictures and innovative exhibits to help curb the spread of infectious diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, venereal disease). Evart G. Routzahn, credited as the Section's father, worked tirelessly to increase the Section's visibility (renamed the Health Education Section in 1927 and the Public Health Education and Health Promotion Section in 1990) and in advancing the professionalization of health education during a time when there were no formal professional preparation programs in health education. Over the years, the Section has played significant roles in strengthening the practice of health education and communication; advancing APHA's overall leadership, infrastructure, and governance; and contributing to the unified voice and advocacy for the health education profession and health equity. We conclude by describing contemporary initiatives that reflect the continued spirit and vibrancy of the Section in setting the stage for the next 100 years.</p>","PeriodicalId":47956,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Practice","volume":" ","pages":"849-854"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12332209/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140159328","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}

The DC Health partnership supported implementation of evidence-based interventions and CRC screening in nine health systems that serve patient populations with high CRC risk factors and historically low CRC screening trends.

This is due, in part, to increased recognition that greater tobacco retail density is associated with higher commercial tobacco product use rates and contributes to health disparities. Tobacco control practitioners, researchers, and attorneys were asked their thoughts on the feasibility and impact of 10 retail tobacco policies at the local level in the US. Policies included, for example, capping the number of tobacco retail licenses in communities, setting minimum distance requirements between tobacco retail locations, and flavored tobacco product sales prohibitions. Respondents were asked to give ratings on six dimensions: overall effectiveness, legal feasibility, political feasibility, economic impact, equity impact, and ease of enforcement. Fifty-one professionals responded, and 40 of them had more than 5 years of experience in tobacco control work. Legal feasibility and equity impact were rated highest across policies, and political feasibility the lowest. Ending all tobacco sales received the lowest average ratings across dimensions of feasibility and impact. Establishing tobacco retail licensing programs with fees received the highest average ratings across dimensions of feasibility and impact. The high ratings for licensing with fees can help support localities considering implementing this foundational policy, which increases knowledge of the pervasiveness of tobacco retail locations, allows for self-funded enforcement of existing laws, and can be combined with other policies that address tobacco retail density, prices, and products.

Many organizations use annual education as a secondary injury-prevention strategy to improve athlete care-seeking, and subsequently, injury outcomes. However, these efforts have proven insufficient. Those who develop educational programs have begun to use a variety of behavioral theories to inform the content and delivery of these interventions. However, these interventions rarely acknowledge or address systematic barriers across the entire socioecological framework. Concussion research and education have focused heavily on the impacts of intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships on concussion care-seeking. There is a need for further examination of the organizational and societal impacts on athlete care-seeking behavior to inform strategic solutions. Integrating messaging about exosystem and macrosystem influences on care-seeking into education may improve athlete health and well-being. Existing research supports using concussion education interventions that are informed by behavior and knowledge-translation frameworks, reiterates the serious short- and long-term consequences of a concussion, and promotes the benefits of prompt care-seeking. Providing education regularly and to all members of the athletics organization (e.g., coaches, sports medicine providers, and administrators) may help address interpersonal pressures. These measures may initiate a larger sociocultural movement that may be necessary to improve athlete care-seeking.

The goal of this paper was to conduct a scoping review on the impact and efficacy of digital interventions that address cancer screening in SGD populations. A scoping review protocol (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/RMFDH) was designed and followed using PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Scopus.

None of the studies met our inclusion criteria. Our findings show that despite known cancer-related health disparities in SGD populations, to date, there are no digital health interventions targeting cancer screening.
