Despite laws that have improved access, people with disabilities still face barriers to voting and full engagement in the civic process. With approximately one-fourth of the 2020 United States electorate (an estimated 67.6 million eligible voters) reporting either having a disability or sharing a household with someone who has a disability, the impact of these barriers is significant. Accessibility challenges affect all aspects of the voting experience, from accessing digital health and voting materials to completing the in-person or mail-in voting process. We highlight population and individual-level health benefits of voting, examine how public health professionals are uniquely positioned to integrate civic health equity into all phases of their work from assessment to evaluation, and discuss inaccessibility as a key barrier to voting and civic engagement. We present specific action steps to help our field meet technical accessibility standards, create team-based approaches to accessibility planning, and advocate against current threats to voting rights and access. We encourage public health professionals to look beyond compliance to apply a human rights lens to accessibility and civic health equity work.</p>","PeriodicalId":47956,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Practice","volume":" ","pages":"844-847"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147976537","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}

Despite its preventability, awareness levels among adolescents remain low. Schools provide an ideal platform for health education interventions, yet traditional approaches often fail to yield lasting behavioural change. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a social cognitive theory (SCT)-based oral cancer awareness module in enhancing adolescents' knowledge and self-efficacy. A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted between June and October 2017 in two high schools in Kaiwara, Karnataka. Adolescents aged 13-16 years (<i>N</i> = 524) were randomly assigned to an SCT-based intervention group or a control group receiving conventional education. The intervention, delivered by trained teachers and peer leaders, incorporated interactive teaching tools such as flipcharts, videos, and PowerPoint presentations. Knowledge and self-efficacy were assessed at baseline, immediately post intervention, at 1 month, and 3 months using a validated questionnaire. The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge (baseline: 6.22 ± 2.4; 3 months: 12.93 ± 0.8) and self-efficacy (baseline: 4.48 ± 2.9; 3 months: 8.61 ± 1.3) compared to the control group (<i>p</i> < .05). The role of teachers and peer leaders in reinforcement contributed to sustained learning. The SCT-based intervention was effective in enhancing oral cancer awareness among adolescents. Implementing theory-driven, school-based educational strategies can play a crucial role in long-term behaviour modification and cancer prevention.</p>","PeriodicalId":47956,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Practice","volume":" ","pages":"15248399261478888"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148841686","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}

Themes included (a) Community-based digital inclusion efforts either past or present, (b) Library-based internet connection, and (c) Challenges in implementing digital inclusion efforts. Grassroots efforts in ENC rural communities have provided essential digital inclusion resources and services to community members.

As EWE increase in frequency and severity, there is a pressing need to identify ethical approaches for conducting SRHR research in humanitarian and disaster-affected settings. Climate change intensifies existing social, gender, and structural inequities, shaping SRHR risks and access to health care across the life course. In this <i>Frameworks</i> article, we propose an integrated ethical approach for SRHR research in climate-affected humanitarian contexts that brings together principles from climate and health research ethics, humanitarian research ethics, and life course health equity. We argue that ethical SRHR research in these settings must account for intersecting climate and humanitarian vulnerabilities, recognize agency within constrained contexts, and attend to how risks and priorities are experienced differently across life stages. Drawing on established ethical frameworks, we center our framework on three guiding principles: protection from harm, equity and justice, and contextual relevance. We illustrate the application of this integrated approach through two case studies: climate-related SRHR vulnerabilities among youth in Pacific Island settings and sexual violence experienced by older adults in refugee settlements. These examples highlight how age-based silos may obscure evolving SRHR needs across the life course. We conclude by outlining implications for research and health promotion practice, emphasizing the importance of contextually responsive and equity-driven approaches that support immediate humanitarian needs and long-term SRHR in climate-affected settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":47956,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion Practice","volume":" ","pages":"15248399261477744"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148799701","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}
