Therefore, it is necessary to better understand which park features are most important for encouraging active park use and social interaction. This study examined the perceived importance of park features for encouraging park visitation, park-based physical activity, and social interaction among adults in Australia. Participants [n = 232, 42.2 years (SD = 13.4), 53% female] rated images of 43 different park features. For each feature, mean scores (SD) were calculated for the overall sample and by gender and frequent/infrequent park visitors for each park-use behaviour (visit, active, social). 'Good maintenance and cleanliness' and 'trees' were the two highest-rated features for encouraging adults to visit a park and be active and social. A 'peaceful and relaxed setting' was ranked third for visitation and 'sense of safety from strangers' was ranked third for both physical activity and social interaction. Significant differences in rating scores were observed between frequent and infrequent park visitors for all three outcomes. The findings will assist those involved in park planning and design to create parks that are tailored to the specific needs of this important user group. This is critical for enhanced physical, social, and mental health at the population level.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12128928/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144210230","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}

However, no research has explored what family meal content is being shared on social media. This study employed a mixed-methods content analysis approach to explore how family meals are portrayed on Instagram. Four hashtags were identified through systematic screening: #familymeals, #familybreakfast, #familylunch, and #familydinner. All post details (video/image, caption, engagement, and account) were collected from the top 15 posts from each hashtag weekly for 14 weeks (February-May 2024). Data were analyzed using a coding framework in REDCap. A total of 564 posts from 359 unique accounts were included. Most account holders were women (86.3%). Recipe developers were the most common account type (38.4%). Most posts depicted food/drink (92.9%), predominantly plated meals (86.6%) and core foods (76.7%), and appeared staged (64.7%). Many captions included meal ideas (70.6%) linking out to or providing recipes (40% and 38.4%) and were described as \"quick\" or \"easy\" (38.9%). Differences in post and caption content across hashtags indicated perceptions of what family meals should look like depending on time of day, e.g. home-cooked meal at dinner, discretionary food at breakfast, family bonding at lunch. While some information provided in these hashtags may be useful for parents (e.g. quick and easy recipes), the portrayal of perfect meals and mealtimes may perpetuate harmful expectations. Further research is needed to understand how these representations impact parents, and how Instagram can be used to promote realistic, healthy family meals across the day.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12154203/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276664","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}

HIA has gained significant attention in recent decades due to its utility in facilitating a broader understanding of health and bringing diverse stakeholders and evidence into decision-making processes. Despite this interest in HIA its implementation remains challenging within governance, decision making, and regulatory contexts. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) 2.0 provides a methodological framework to identify potential factors influencing implementation and the domains in which they operate, within the framework. For the purpose of this scoping review, implementation refers to the process of carrying out an HIA, and where applicable, the implementation of its recommendations. This review presents a novel exploration of HIA from an implementation science perspective. It provides a synthesis of the factors influencing HIA implementation and identifies a range of considerations and strategies that may facilitate and strengthen HIA implementation and support. The findings suggest that the earlier steps are critical in assisting the practical application and implementation of HIA. However, building wider HIA support, awareness, and capacity essential to progressing HIA is dependent on wider public health advocacy and addressing challenges specific to HIA as a method and tool.

Influencers, such as YouTubers, can serve as role models who shape their followers' perceptions and management of mental health. This study analyzes the mental health content and characteristics of popular Finnish YouTubers who, except one, were not mental health professionals and were not primarily identified as health influencers. Data were collected from 19 YouTube channels between April 2023 and April 2024. Using qualitative descriptive analysis, we examined 1 987 vlogs, 161 of which contained mental health content. The YouTubers predominantly shaped their personal mental health challenges through recovery narratives. Emotional self-disclosure fosters authenticity, strengthens the parasocial relationship, and positions the YouTubers as both peer supporters and experiential experts. Anxiety and depression were the most frequently discussed mental health topics, along with panic disorder, eating disorder, physical appearance, and self-esteem. They offered numerous tips for supporting mental well-being, highlighting the importance of not being alone, seeking help, and promoting self-compassion and self-care strategies in alignment with positive psychology principles. These findings deepen our understanding of how mental health information can be communicated in ways that resonate with young people, providing them with valuable resources for social support and mental health promotion. Collaborating with YouTubers in health campaigns and interventions can help health promotion organizations reach young people who may be less receptive to traditional programs, ultimately contributing to greater mental health equity.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12158547/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276647","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}

Understanding NCD complexity and developing evidence-based actions to mitigate this burden is crucial. This article reports on the evolution of a sustained health promotion programme contributing to understanding adolescent metabolic health in Rarotonga. Ora'anga Tūmanava (established 2013) is a transdisciplinary initiative engaging adolescents in exploring NCD-related challenges through curriculum-linked learning. Community-based participatory research integrated within the Tivaevae framework guides co-design. In 2013, inclusion of health measures within this initiative was considered but rejected. Feedback in 2015 identified that, after examining population-level NCD burdens, adolescents wanted greater access to personal health information. Consequently, inclusion of health measures was revisited and agreed for trial alongside learning about metabolic health within a Year 9 programme. Data from 2016 to 2019 and 2022 to 2023 (n = 783; 65% total cohort; median age 13.8 years) indicated overweight 22.1%; obesity 37.6%; waist-to-height ratio > 0.5, 39.1%; elevated blood cholesterol, 8.1%; and elevated blood glucose, 15.6%. Where all measures were available (n = 321), 27.7% of students were living with ≥ 3 risk factors. Feedback confirmed the programme met student expectations, contributed to school-based health promotion, offered an acceptable strategy for tracking metabolic health indicators and highlighting NCD risk factors in this age-group, and encouraged health-related discussions. Alignment with curriculum-based learning and evidence-sharing has ensured sustained school-level support.

The maternity collaboration units implemented the intervention to refer pregnant women who smoke to a counsellor from addiction care. Twenty-one of the 50 midwifery care practices (42%) and two of the five obstetrics departments (40%) referred women to addiction care. The results showed that of the 558 women who smoked during pregnancy in 2021, 73 women (13%) were referred to addiction care, 58 (10%) started a coaching trajectory and 12 women of the 48 (25%) who finished a coaching trajectory stopped smoking. The results of interviews and focus groups gave insight into the challenges for referral and indicated that the communication between the midwife/counsellor and the pregnant woman is important for counselling. A minority of maternal care professionals referred women to a counsellor from addiction care and a small percentage of women managed to stop smoking. Opportunities in the repetition of implementation strategies and increasing skills in motivational interviewing for maternity care professionals could improve adoption of interventions in future implementation. To increase the effectiveness of the intervention, the counsellors could consider combining their counselling with nicotine replacement therapy, feedback or incentives.</p>","PeriodicalId":54256,"journal":{"name":"Health Promotion International","volume":"40 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12203787/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144318707","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}

By analyzing health literacy in Brazil, this study sheds light on the challenges faced by populations with similar socioeconomic backgrounds in low- and middle-income countries, where disparities in access to education and health services are widespread. In addition to descriptive analysis, we used the Random Forest machine learning algorithm, which uses bootstrap aggregation (bagging). To make the results interpretable, we implemented Shapley's Additive exPlanation values. The results show a predominance of problematic levels of health literacy among the population. The analysis reveals that factors such as medication use, dependence on the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde), and educational level are significant predictors of health literacy.

The online news article and the 536 Facebook comments posted in response were analysed using thematic analysis. Although the scientific article and institutional press release were guarded about the implications of the research for human health, the media article used sensationalist reporting on the impact of a single night's sleep disruption to emphasize the everyday implications of the findings. Audience members who identified as sleeping poorly responded fatalistically, whereas commentors who identified as sleeping well were reassured by the news article. The sensationalist framing provoked an affective response in audience members, which at times led to disbelief in the specific message or questioning of scientific research. Sensationalist media reporting of science has unintended consequences. Attempts to engage audiences with science communication that is simplistic and personal may encourage readers to reject scientific evidence as logically incoherent.
