The aim of this study was to identify the sex and chest wall secondary sexual characteristics of CPR manikins on the global market. The secondary aim was to identify if manikin manufacturing companies had a publicly available sustainability policy or equivalent, and if these covered products were manufactured. We conducted an observational descriptive study of the secondary sex characteristics and named sex of CPR training manikins available on the global market, and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), human rights and sustainability policies of the companies that manufacture them. Nine CPR manikin manufacturers were identified. Twenty CPR manikins were included for analysis. Of the 20 manikins, 75% were identified as male (n = 8, 40%) or no gender specified (n = 7, 35%) and all these had flat torsos-one had a breast overlay available. One company had a 2020 sustainability report that addressed EDI for the workforce only, and a 2023 report addresses this for products manufactured. Adult CPR manikins available globally are largely homogenous, flat-chested and do not have secondary sex characteristics or a named sex. One company had a sustainability report that referenced workforce only and has since committed to EDI for products manufactured. We urge CPR training providers and manufacturers to collectively promote a rights-based approach to healthcare aligned with the commercial determinants of health by committing to improving the diversity of CPR training manikins.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11579596/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Supporters of these policies view them as imperative for achieving public health aims while some opponents view them as overly paternalistic, infringing on consumer choice and potentially inequitable. As a consequence, their ethical status and permissibility are both contested and of importance in decision-making for policy. Traditional ethical analysis of these interventions has examined the ethical implications of the policies according to a direct, linear view of the relationships between government and consumer and the impact of government policy on the consumer. However, this approach to ethical analysis fails to take into account the role of the food industry as the subjects of the policies and intermediaries between government and consumers in the implementation and effectiveness of the policies. The actions of the food industry in response to a policy substantially determine how the policy translates to changes in the food supply and thus, the effect of the policy on consumers. This has significant implications for the ethical status of the policy. As a result, this article calls for complicating the common ethical approach to restrictive food policies by adopting a framing that recognizes the role of the food industry in the implementation of these policies. We then discuss three implications this framing has for ethical analysis: first that ethical analysis must be more nuanced and recognize the potentially complex outcomes of a policy, second that it must be dynamic and ongoing and third that underlying assumptions about policies' effects on choice, effectiveness and equity need to be reconsidered.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11604071/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142741221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research critically examines cryptocurrency, which is promoted and sold as a highly gamblified product. Using the commercial determinants of health framework, the multifaceted ways in which cryptocurrency firm operations may impact health outcomes are highlighted. Political influence is exerted through substantial donations, with high-profile cases illustrating the sector's attempts to sway policy, whilst cryptocurrencies often operate in unregulated markets. Marketing strategies mirror those of traditional harmful industries, deploying immense advertising budgets and celebrity endorsements to promote highly speculative and risky financial products. Cryptocurrency mining, demanding considerable energy consumption, causes significant environmental damage. Financial practices include hundreds of outright frauds targeting low- and middle-income countries. Cryptocurrency investment, with 24/7 access and promises of huge wealth, mirrors gambling and is likely to result in public health harms through the same mechanisms as other forms of gambling. Despite the supposed potential of blockchain technology for improving payment and contract systems, the lack of realization of these benefits contrasts sharply with the immediate and growing costs associated with cryptocurrency speculation. Cryptoassets are a case study for the need for health promotion professionals to critically evaluate new technologies and advocate for regulatory measures to protect public health in the face of novel, high-risk products that overlap gambling and finance.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142840378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of a single virtual movement-based pelvic health education session on women's pelvic health knowledge, adherence to performing pelvic exercises and confidence in performing the exercises. Forty-two female participants were recruited in Western Arkansas. Participants completed an online pre-session (pre) questionnaire and then received a single virtual education session led by a healthcare provider trained in pelvic health. A post-session (post-1) questionnaire was completed by each participant as well as a 1-month follow-up (post-2) questionnaire. Thirty-five women completed all three questionnaires and pelvic health knowledge, adherence to pelvic floor exercises and confidence in performing pelvic floor exercises were assessed. After the participants completed the post-2 questionnaire, they were invited for a semi-structured interview and 13 women participated. Results of this study suggest pelvic health knowledge increased after a single session of movement-based education, and this was retained 1 month later. Adherence and confidence to perform the exercises did not change; however, learning about pelvic health in a virtual movement-based method was a positive experience and initiated an eagerness to learn more about pelvic health. Pelvic health education can be implemented in a virtual approach to engage women in underserved communities to learn more about pelvic health through a positive experience for an educational baseline to gain healthcare autonomy.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to rapidly create evidence-based, contextualized handwashing programmes. Wash'Em was widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic. This multi-country secondary data analysis compares data emerging from Wash'Em during the pandemic, to understand whether commonalities in programming constraints or the determinants of handwashing behaviour existed across countries. Wash'Em datasets (n = 38) were verified prior to inclusion in secondary data analysis; descriptively summarized and then statistical summaries of homogeneity were derived. Wash'Em was implemented as intended during the pandemic, typically taking a small number of humanitarian staff less than a week to complete. Most actors reported using the recommendations suggested by the process but did so within relatively short-term and poorly financed prevention programmes. Homogeneity in the responses to the Wash'Em tools was low indicating that the determinants of handwashing behaviour during the pandemic were predominantly shaped by pre-existing factors rather than the nature of the health threat. Hygiene programmes during outbreaks should avoid 'copying and pasting' interventions from one setting to another and instead make time to holistically understand the behavioural determinants in a specific context and develop programme activities that are designed to address these. Particular attention should be given to factors in the physical and social environment that may enable or constrain handwashing behaviour, pre-existing disease vulnerabilities and the secondary and non-health impacts of outbreaks. Wash'Em provides one feasible way of contextualizing handwashing interventions in outbreak or humanitarian settings.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142856686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and people with lived experience, carers and the general public should have a say in how policy is generated, how services are delivered and how research is conducted. Through this perspective article, we hope to stimulate discussion and debate around industry influence in patient and public involvement, specifically pertaining to patient organizations, which often play a key role in patient and public involvement activities. As momentum gathers around patient and public involvement in many countries, it is timely to discuss the nature and extent of commercial influences in such activities, the (un)anticipated consequences of industry-patient interactions, including conflicts of interest and motivated bias, and how we might better manage, or negate, such interactions. Patient and public involvement must be integral to research, policy and practice. While further research is needed to examine the interactions, and consequences of pharmaceutical industry interactions with patients, several practical steps can be taken in the interim. Structures, processes and supports, which are fit for purpose, are needed to ensure independence, power and legitimacy within patient and public involvement activities, and that patient advocates have their voices heard, and ultimately acted upon.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11631069/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142808616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As cities increasingly lead efforts to improve health equity and population health, understanding the perspectives and experiences of municipal actors on health and equity is essential. To address this gap, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 stakeholders engaged with urban design policy- and decision-making at the City of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. We analysed our data using a qualitative thematic framework. Our research uncovered a lack of shared understanding of health among municipal actors. Interviewees identified several barriers to integrating health and equity in urban design policies, including inaccessibility of evidence; insufficient resourcing; fragmented governance structure; limited legal power of local governments in Canada; a deeply ingrained culture of individualism and lack of representation. Our findings underscore the importance of adopting an integrated and holistic approach for healthy and equitable urban design. As urbanization continues to bring a greater share of the world's population into urban areas, it is crucial to understand how municipal governance can foster environments that promote residents' well-being.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about which sociodemographic factors are related to the three major components of HL (i.e. functional, interactive, critical HL) and the extent to which these components of HL moderate the relationship between sociodemographic determinants of substance use avoidance and avoidance for adolescents. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic determinants of functional, interactive, critical and composite HL among adolescents, and to assess HL's role as a determinant and moderator of substance use avoidance. Data were collected from 675 adolescents (mean age = 15.5 years, ~53% girls, ~32% Hispanic/Latine) through Qualtrics survey panels and in school settings. Participants completed surveys on social and demographic factors, HL, and substance use. Binary and multinomial logistic regressions were used to address the study aims. In adjusted analyses, adolescents who were girls, Hispanic/Latine (vs. White), food secure, English proficient, had private communications with health providers, and those without impaired decision-making had higher odds of having high HL. Having higher functional, interactive and composite HL increased the odds of substance use avoidance and moderated the effect of age, with younger adolescents with higher HL (vs. low HL) having greater odds of substance use avoidance. Our findings suggest that HL may act as a protective factor against the initiation of substance use in younger adolescents. Thus, HL may be a good intervention strategy to delay substance use initiation for younger adolescents.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142856684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
