Access to accurate information is a basic and important determinant of SRH, but for many young people, social norms and expectations limit what they can access. We know little about how SRH knowledge is accessed in the Asia Pacific, a region diversely rich in culture and related norms, and with persistently wide inequities in SRH outcomes. This study conducted face-to-face interviews with 20 adolescent girls (16-18 years) and their female carers (n = 20) from the Tay community-the largest ethnic minority group in Vietnam. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to construct three themes from the data. First, SRH issues relating to pre-marital sex, unwanted pregnancy, and the repercussions were the most important topics for adolescent girls and their female carers. Second, SRH topics were considered sensitive and personal, inhibiting interpersonal communication about SRH between women, their families, and across generations. Third, adolescent girls were accessing conflicting SRH information from a diverse range of sources, and both adolescent girls and female carers were reliant on SRH sources online. There is an opportunity to ensure reliable SRH information is available through a variety of sources: by focussing content and delivery of comprehensive sexuality education on pregnancy prevention at the high school level, contextualizing community-based health promotion to address sensitivities around SRH, and expanding national-level programmes to provide online safety skills and digital literacy for adolescents and parents.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12215314/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144546126","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}

A newly developed intervention was implemented in municipal senior centres to support new users to become part of the social community, with the intention of reducing social isolation. The intervention consisted of a starting conversation with staff members, a 'buddy' from existing users and monthly follow-up conversations. This study aims to explore the acceptability of the intervention among senior centre staff members as part of a process evaluation, drawing upon the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability by Sekhon et al. Data were collected through observation and interviews with senior centre staff members (N = 10) involved in the implementation and delivery of the intervention. Data analysis was inspired by thematic analysis. The results indicated a decline in acceptability during the intervention period. Underlying reasons were organized in three main themes: 'Why do it this way, when I can do it my way'; 'I don't like to place these demands on the user'; and 'We just had to prioritise'. Overall, participants suggested a preference for a noninstitutional approach to welcoming new users and felt the intervention misaligned with the organizational goals to improve health. High staff turnover and workload further negatively affected intervention acceptability. This study highlights the complexities of implementing interventions in senior centres, where staff hesitance and a misalignment with values can affect intervention acceptability.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144857035","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}

In addition, few published studies describe the methods of their peer-led programming. The Maneno Yetu study aimed to fill these gaps by providing descriptions of our PSA creation workshop process that was peer-driven from conception to completion. Nine PSAs were created focused on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues including family planning, substance abuse, peer pressure, HIV and sexually transmitted infections prevention, and sexual assault. The workshop participants enjoyed learning about storytelling and filmmaking and appreciated participating in a project that could have a beneficial impact on their peers. Our novel PSA creation approach was peer-driven from ideation to production and centered on topics and messaging relevant to adolescents in the communities we were partnering with. Our approach provided a communication channel to convey important SRH information tailored to the needs of adolescents in the community. The PSAs were low-cost, making the approach accessible to adolescents outside of the framework of a study in resource-limited settings. Our peer-led PSA creation approach can be applied toward other public health interventions to generate messaging that resonates with adolescents.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12261910/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144638697","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}

Health-literate organizations play a crucial role in health promotion by creating supportive environments that ensure equitable access to health information and services, empowering individuals to engage with, understand, evaluate, and apply health information through diverse communication channels and social resources. The International Self-Assessment Tool for Organizational Health Literacy of Hospitals (OHL-Hos) was used for the first time in Italy to evaluate the implementation of OHL principles in two local hospitals and one academic hospital. The OHL-Hos is organized into 8 standards, 21 substandards, and 155 items. The degree of fulfillment with the OHL principles was calculated for substandards and standards to assess their accomplishment within the organization, along with an overall score. In each hospital, the self-assessment was carried out by an interdisciplinary team; the team members initially conducted the assessment individually, and then a joint assessment was performed to reach a consensus. The two local hospitals presented similar results and an overall level of OHL responsiveness (41.62% and 39.15%, respectively) lower than the academic hospital (63.22%). The OHL principles were found to be only partially addressed and fulfilled. The OHL-Hos tool proved valuable in identifying the most critical areas that require targeted interventions, aimed at enhancing both the OHL of the organizations and the health of individuals as a result.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12376030/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144978548","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}

Although Aotearoa is a Party to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, tobacco companies could participate in policy consultation processes and lobbied strongly against the endgame policies. Using an Official Information Act request, we obtained submissions made during the final consultation phase (on regulations that would have implemented the policies). We focused on 13 submissions made by tobacco companies, groups or individuals understood to have received industry funding (directly or indirectly), and groups that have roles within the nicotine product supply chain. We analysed arguments opposing the retail outlet reduction measure, which aimed to make smoked tobacco products substantially less accessible. Using the Policy Dystopia Model as a framework, we identified arguments that mapped to the PDM's economic, legal and political domains. Submitters stated the policy would impose serious costs, particularly on retailers; they anticipated illicit tobacco trade escalating, a consequence they predicted would harm communities and reduce public safety. We identified two over-arching themes: unfairness and promoting self-interest. Tobacco companies' ability to participate in consultation processes questions whether Aotearoa's implementation of Article 5.3 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control adequately protects public health policy-making from tobacco companies' influence. Stronger regulation of lobbying should set greater transparency requirements, monitor and critique industry activity, and implement a robust code of conduct.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12365755/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144978615","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}

A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect for literature from January 2000 to January 2025. Studies were included if they employed participatory approaches for assessing or promoting PA in UGS. Data extraction followed the comparison of the participatory processes framework, and study quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool 2018. Of 1926 records, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results show that most approaches were researcher-led and operated at the local and regional levels. Despite being labeled participatory, several studies had a limited degree of participation, focusing mostly on (co-)data collection. Most studies had also limited spatial, social, and temporal reach, often confined to the study area and participant group. However, some approaches successfully increased PA in UGS and demonstrated positive social and individual benefits, with (co-)design and citizen science projects standing out for their strong participation and broader social impacts. Future studies and interventions should involve participants throughout all stages, establish clear participatory frameworks, enhance scalability, and incorporate strategies for long-term sustainability to optimize outcomes.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144838584","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}

Reported challenges revolved around the complexity of the patient, environment, and competing health/security needs. A key issue identified by paramedics was perceived dissatisfaction from police when their assessment resulted in a recommendation to transport the patient to hospital. Enablers included the controlled environment of the watch-house and access to watch-house embedded healthcare providers. Suggestions related to improving structures (e.g. paperwork, education, hours of on-site healthcare providers) and processes (e.g. communication, transport).

Schools also noted that clearer communication about the funding was needed, including more school involvement in decision-making, more choice in design, and corresponding professional development for teachers. The OL spaces were perceived to support the creation of inclusive, supportive school environments that promote diversity and contribute to students' overall sense of well-being.

However, parents of young children face barriers to preparing healthy meals. Commercial meal kit subscription services (MKSSs) may support parents to overcome challenges and influence food literacy. This study explored how parents of young children (2-5 years) use MKSSs, examining how food literacy is supported and can be strengthened to promote healthy family meal provisioning. Twenty-five primary meal providers were recruited via social media (e.g. Facebook) for semi-structured interviews over phone or Zoom. Interviews were conducted with participants who had recently purchased meal kits from Australian MKSSs. Transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis followed by deductive mapping to a food literacy framework consisting of four domains (plan and manage, select, prepare, and eat). Three themes captured participants' meal kit use: (i) managing the complexities of feeding a family with young children, (ii) shifting the mental load, and (iii) broadening culinary horizons for all. Mapping of each theme to the four food literacy domains highlighted that meal kits primarily supported the 'plan and manage' and 'prepare' domains of family meal provisioning by alleviating pressures in the feeding of young children. The 'select' and 'eat' domains were less supported. These findings suggest while meal kits may support aspects of food literacy, further guidance on selecting nutritious meals, modifying recipes, involving children, and fostering mealtime practices could strengthen their impact on healthy family meal provisioning. Further research is needed to explore how meal kits could be leveraged to improve parental food literacy and family nutrition.","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12235520/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144585622","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}
