Terminology has varied, and terms have included physical, non-pharmaceutical, non-drug, non-pharmacologic, and non-pharmacological interventions, as well as public health measures and public health and social measures. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), and the term is now recognized globally. The use of the terms public health measures or public health and social measures has variably been inclusive of the use of vaccines, which would be considered pharmacological products. Given this background and confusion over terminology and descriptions, we have reviewed this topic to provide clarity regarding nomenclature, taxonomy, and definitions, with the aim of ensuring an explicit shared understanding of any interventions that do not involve pharmacological products, given the importance of conducting NPI evaluations for future epidemics and pandemics.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197560","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}

In Peru's health system, telemedicine use has expanded rapidly, yet the no-shows' determinants remain underexplored. To identify demographic, geographic, institutional, and temporal factors associated with telemedicine appointment no-shows at EsSalud's National Telemedicine Center (CENATE), we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 538,312 scheduled telemedicine appointments representing 309,819 patients using routinely collected data from the EsSalud ExplotaDatos platform in 2023-2024 and multivariate Poisson regressions. The estimated average no-show prevalence rate was 6.4% with the highest rates in pediatric neurology and obstetrics specialties. A higher risk for no-show was observed among males, young adults (18-29 years old), residents of the Eastern macro-region, appointments at primary healthcare centers, morning shifts, end-of-year months, and end-of-workweek days. No-shows are influenced by individual, institutional, and contextual factors, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to enhance appointment adherence and optimize virtual care delivery.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149076537","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}

Although behaviourally informed health interventions have gained attention, evidence for professional drivers has not been systematically synthesised. A systematic literature review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC and Google Scholar identified 11 studies, comprising 9 empirical interventions and 2 review articles. Owing to substantial methodological heterogeneity, findings were narratively synthesised. Most interventions combined behavioural strategies, including self-monitoring, goal setting, personalised feedback, coaching and digital support. Physical activity and dietary behaviour were the main outcomes. Overall, integrated behaviourally informed interventions appear promising for promoting healthier behaviours among professional drivers, although more robust long-term evidence is required. These findings provide practical guidance for researchers, employers and policymakers, and contribute to the international evidence base for behaviourally informed occupational health interventions for professional drivers.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148972212","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}

However, high serum zinc concentrations are associated with inflammation and dyslipidemia. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2017-2020 NHANES data (8092 adults) to investigate the relationship between dietary zinc intakes, highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and serum lipids concentrations. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted using four models to evaluate the association between dietary zinc intake quartiles, hs-CRP, and lipid profile components. Elevated zinc intakes were connected to reduced likelihoods of elevated hs-CRP (OR 0.69; 95% CI 0.49-0.98), triglycerides (TG)(OR 0.30; 95% CI 0.10-0.88), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc)(OR 0.49; 95% CI 0.26-0.94) concentrations. In conclusion, our assessment suggests that subjects with elevated dietary zinc intakes are less likely to exhibit high hs-CRP, TG, and HDLc concentrations. However, we found no relationship between zinc status and TC or LDLc.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"361-374"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148551305","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}

Using coincidence analysis (CNA), we examined how combinations of city-level prevention efforts and state-level firearm policies correspond to fatal shooting rates across 100 US cities. Drawing on data from the Community Justice Violence Prevention Index, Everytown's gun-law rankings, the US Census Bureau, and the Gun Violence Archive, we identified configurations of state policies and local efforts associated with relatively low rates of firearm-related fatalities. Five distinct pathways characterized cities with lower shooting rates, involving combinations of regional location, restraining order prohibitors, authority to deny firearm purchases, police use-of-force data collection, microstamping for new handguns, city population, ban-the-box initiatives, city-wide reporting for hate crimes, school-based violence prevention programs, and local emergency response improvements. Findings underscore how multilevel policy environments jointly shape firearm violence outcomes and demonstrate the value of configurational methods for public health and policy research.","PeriodicalId":50070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"387-398"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13489947/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148669713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
