We investigated whether the audience reported any reduction in their own stigma toward people with mental health problems after exposure to disclosures. We also examined whether self-reported stigma reduction was associated with the characteristics of audience members, the disclosers and the disclosure messages. We used Prolific to obtain a convenience sample (N = 803) of adults who had been exposed to a disclosure. We administered an online survey to participants and conducted a series of logistic regressions to identify any associations between disclosure-related characteristics and audience self-reported stigma reduction. Our findings showed that certain aspects of the messaging process appeared to be associated with stigma reduction. These included explicit diagnoses from disclosers, particular message themes such as psychosocial causes of mental ill health, and positive and echoing comments from other users. In addition, audience members who reported greater levels of empathy toward, perceived similarity to and identification with disclosers tended to report reduced stigma. These findings contribute to the evidence base underpinning how, when and which public disclosures of mental health problems on social media have the potential for stigma reduction. They can further help inform future health promotion practices on social media aiming to mitigate mental health-related stigma at the population level. Future research may focus more on the dynamics and match between disclosers and audiences and their effects on stigma.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11747871/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143016477","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}

Offering culturally diverse and inclusive food was important to students. Mitigating future barriers to student participation in universal lunch programs will require attention to student choice, agency, and diversity, and offering diverse portion sizes, adequate meal lengths, and student-centered infrastructure.

A survey of food retail outlets was conducted. All the outlets were geocoded, and service areas were created considering a 600 m threshold. Quantitative information was supplemented with qualitative information from semi-structured interviews with residents and grocery store owners. A total of 415 outlets selling a variety of foods were identified. Adequate physical access to the foods recommended by the Uruguayan dietary guidelines was found in most of the residential areas. Small behind-the-counter grocery stores were identified as the key source of healthy foods in the area. However, the accounts of residents highlighted problems related to the price, variety and quality of the foods sold by the local grocery stores. Therefore, strategies to ensure access to healthy food in the study area should go beyond physical access and tackle food affordability, variety and quality.

We conducted focus group discussions with children at three primary schools in the Netherlands, covering (i) What health means to children (ii) How they engage with health information (HL), and (iii) How they respond to the items of an HL questionnaire (HLS-Child-Q15-NL). Thematic analysis was used to analyze data from nine focus groups with 46 children. We identified three themes: (i) perspectives of health and healthy living, (ii) information for healthy living, and (iii) sources of information for healthy living. Children rated being yourself, physical activity, and happiness as the most important health topics. They receive health information passively, mainly from caregivers and social media, and emphasize the need for simple language. Trustworthiness of sources and usefulness of information were also important. Responses to the HLS-Child-Q15-NL varied, with some items being unclear and leading to misunderstandings, though generally seen as easy. The findings highlight children's broad perspective of health and HL.

Additionally, co-designed and community-led health promotion interventions have gained recognition as an effective strategy for addressing health issues through more effective and sustainable health outcomes. This qualitative study conducted in Tasmania, Australia, aimed to co-design the emerging Health Literacy Mediator (HLM) and to assess the support, expectations, and need for such a role. Following an Ophelia approach, data for this research were collected via focus group discussions within an online workshop, enabling diverse perspectives to emerge and be analysed via thematic analysis. Discussions around how the role could impact the individuals and families presented in the short case scenarios (vignettes) produced four strong expectations: that they are solution-focused, that they have a duty to facilitate change, that the role is based in community, and that the role targets those in the community who need them most to ensure the greatest impact. Participants also shared other recommendations and supporting ideas for the role. The potential role of HLM holds substantial promise in addressing health inequities for all individuals, regardless of background or socioeconomic status, by optimizing time management, simplifying navigation, ensuring the right care, and building community trust. By creating connections and advocating for individuals, HLMs could effectively break down barriers to healthcare access. This proactive approach not only addresses immediate health concerns but could also lay the groundwork for sustained improvements in public health outcomes in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11879027/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558562","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}

The enablers to falls prevention education included sharing the responsibility to implement the program, setting clear goals for staff, showing the impact of delivering the program, involving family to reinforce the messaging, using falls champions to upskill staff and making the resources (video and booklet) readily available to patients at all times. Barriers included insufficient time for staff to deliver falls prevention education, lack of falls prevention training for staff during their clinical training, absence of standardized protocols and clinical guidelines across hospital settings and insufficient hospital marketing to promote the program.
