Conducted between 17 December 2023 and 1 January 2024, this mixed-methods cross-sectional study employed Knowledge and Attitudes of Legalizing Surrogacy (KALS) questionnaire. This instrument assessed opinions and ethical considerations on various aspects including ethics and children's rights, surrogate health, offspring welfare, and social justice. Responses were quantitatively measured on a 5-point scale (with higher scores indicating more accurate knowledge or stronger perceived impact of surrogacy on society) supplemented by qualitative content analysis of open-ended responses. Out of 7780 predominantly female participants (82.8%), all scores were higher for those did not support the legalization of surrogacy (82.1% of respondents). Noteworthy concerns were raised about potential repercussions of legalizing surrogacy, underscoring the need for broader public education before any legal reforms are implemented. There is significant apprehension about surrogacy legalization in Taiwan, especially regarding its impact on women's health and children's welfare.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"303-325"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies were eligible if alleviation of loneliness was one of ≤ 3 aims, and loneliness was assessed pre- and post-intervention using a validated quantitative measure. Random-effects meta-analyses of standardised mean differences (SMD) assessed pre-post-intervention differences in loneliness, including comparing control and intervention groups. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed and grey literature sources identified 95 studies covering 101 interventions. Psychological interventions had the largest SMD effect size (n = 23: - 0.79 [95%CI: - 1.19, - 0.38]), followed by social interaction-based interventions (n = 23; - 0.50 [- 0.78, - 0.17]), social support-based interventions (n = 46; - 0.34 [- 0.45, - 0.22]), and finally interventions involving multiple themes (n = 9). Findings highlight the effectiveness of psychological and social interaction strategies in reducing loneliness. Future research should address gaps related to intervention types and populations, emphasising randomised controlled designs.

In the study, 59 researchers received training to increase their capacity for interacting with legislators and completed pre- and post-training surveys assessing three scales: self-efficacy, knowledge, and training needs. To determine researchers' pre- and post-training changes, we applied paired t tests. Two-sample t tests were used to compare the differences in outcomes between the two training modes. Researchers showed significant improvement in reported policy and knowledge of the legislative process and reported reduced perceived training needs for both delivery modes. The TX RPC training prepared researchers for interacting with legislators by increasing their policy-related self-efficacy and knowledge.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"375-396"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143505809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While tobacco control policies, often assessed using Tobacco Control Scale (TCS), have been studied in adults, their influence on preventing adolescent smoking initiation remains unknown. This ecological study investigates the correlation between tobacco control policies implementation and adolescents smoking behavior across 25 European countries. Correlation analyses were conducted using TCS scores from 2005 to 2016, and 2007 to 2019 data from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs. Total TCS scores inversely correlated with adolescents' smoking prevalence, as did the prohibition of tobacco advertising. The effect of prices increases have progressively faded, as bans on smoking in public spaces. Information campaigns are poorly implemented, and treatments for addiction do not show effect on adolescents. Besides further raises in cigarette prices, policies should target the smoking social perception to curb adolescent tobacco use.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"397-410"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144038369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As some legalization initiatives are approaching maturity, conducting policy impact assessments has become timely. Emerging data, however, suggest rather mixed pictures for key outcomes and indicators. While many key health-related indicators show increases in adverse outcomes, improvements are shown for main crime-related outcomes associated with legalization. However, legalization policies are evaluated predominantly by utilizing separate approaches for the health outcomes and crime-related indicators, while comprehensive policy assessments require meaningful integration of all related indicators. We provide suggestions for an integrated approach to assessing cannabis legalization policies concerning health and crime-related outcomes. This approach is also valuable for policymakers and other stakeholders to create an empirical basis for relative valuations and choices regarding cannabis legalization's main policy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"423-432"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilized 27 in-depth interviews with healthcare workers to collect qualitative data, which was then analyzed using NVivo 14 for thematic and content analysis. The findings indicated that 57% of respondents are unaware of drones' applications, citing security and privacy concerns and a lack of understanding about their role in the program. This study demonstrates the optimistic perception among healthcare professionals regarding drone delivery of medical supplies to remote areas, highlighting its potential to enhance accessibility and overcome logistical challenges. It emphasizes the need for training, community engagement, and safety measures to ensure effective implementation of drone technology in healthcare delivery.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"326-341"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
