Nudges are increasingly adopted in public health interventions to promote healthy behaviours, such as physical activity. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of nudge-based posters in increasing stair use among hospital visitors in Athens, Greece. The posters were placed at the point-of-choice between stairs and elevators. Hospital visitors using either the stairs or elevators were observed across five phases, namely, baseline, two intervention phases, and two post-intervention phases, each lasting four days. A total of 3,071 choices between the stairs and the elevator were recorded during the study. The differences in proportions of stair users between stages was assessed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the posters significantly increased stair use from 22.6% at baseline to 37.3% during the first intervention phase. Stair use dropped back to 22.2% during the first post-intervention phase. During the second intervention, stair use rising to 37.8%, followed by a decrease to 22.8% in the second post-intervention phase. These findings suggest that posters placed at the point-of-choice can effectively promote immediate behavioural changes, increasing stair use among hospital visitors. However, their long-term effect has yet to be verified. The simplicity, low cost, and easy applicability of posters make them a promising nudge-based intervention within hospital settings. These characteristics also support the generalization of this approach to other environments as part of public health policies aimed at promoting physical activity and improving overall population health.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":"189-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11982067/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143375095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional study with purposive sampling was conducted. The participants were comprised of African American adolescents in four Chicago's Southside neighborhoods. Measures included bullying victimization, substance use, theft of property, assaultive behavior, expressing feelings about violence, and the covariates (age, biological sex, and government assistance). Analyses were univariate analyses and a two-step hierarchical multiple regression. Regarding the study sample, the average age was 15.84 years, 45.6% were males, and 75.7% received government assistance. Bullying victimization was positively associated with substance use, and expressing feelings about violence moderated the association between the two. Bullying victimization was also positively associated with theft of property, and expression feelings about violence moderated the association between the two. Although bullying victimization was positively associated with assaultive behavior, expressing feelings about violence did not moderate the association between the two. Findings suggest a significant role of expressing feelings about violence in buffering the adverse outcomes of bullying victimization among adolescents in low-resourced neighborhoods. Expressing feelings about violence may serve as an effective coping mechanism for adolescents who are consistently exposed to violence.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":"267-282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance our understanding of how mental health and substance use factors interact with preventive measures like mask-wearing to affect risky sexual behaviors (RSBs), our study examined the associations between depressive symptoms, substance use, and RSBs among college and university students in the United States. We specifically aimed to assess the impact of mask-wearing on the association between depressive symptoms, binge drinking and marijuana use, and RSBs during the pandemic. Data were collected through nonprobability sampling from 835 students at five universities via an online survey conducted between July and August 2020. Using the PROCESS macro, we analyzed the mediating effects of binge drinking and marijuana use on the association between depressive symptoms and RSBs (Model 4), as well as the moderating effect of mask-wearing on the association between depressive symptoms, binge drinking and marijuana use, and RSBs. Our findings revealed that mask-wearing significantly moderated the combined association between depressive symptoms, marijuana use, binge drinking, and RSBs. As we navigate the post-pandemic period, it is crucial for existing programs addressing health risk behaviors to consider the direct and indirect associations between mental health and substance use. Understanding these protective and health risk behaviors is essential for informing targeted prevention and intervention efforts in the post-pandemic landscape.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":"245-266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142775086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gamification does not work well in all situations and its success depends on the context and target users. However, there is a lack of research on analog health interventions. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected in parallel to examine participants' experiences with Food Game, an analog gamified intervention designed to promote healthier and more sustainable food choices among high school students. Teams of students compete to complete peer-led thematic challenges. Sixty-four students from the 2022/23 edition participated in focus group interviews (N = 11), and 119 completed a survey (56.1% response rate) with indicators of responsiveness and perceived motivational impact of the program's five game elements. Results indicate a relatively high level of engagement with the program. Students valued Food Game because it gave them the opportunity to demonstrate their sense of agency and autonomy and to work in a group with their peers, thus addressing basic needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy as described by Self-Determination Theory and providing an empowering experience. The least motivating game element in the Food Game was the leaderboard and inter-team competition. Focus group data confirmed students' ambivalence about the competition embedded in the program and pointed to potential unintended consequences, including inter-team conflict, stress, and reduced intrinsic motivation to play. The strengths and weaknesses of Food Game approach to gamification are discussed, along with implications for prevention research and practice.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":"299-316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has raised concerns about its potential impact, particularly during emerging adulthood, which is a high-risk period for the development of problematic gambling behaviors. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of problem gambling in young Spanish adults and to examine individual factors associated with at-risk or problem gambling. The participants were 2762 young adults studying at university and vocational schools (64.16% women, Mage = 19.47; SD = 1.64) recruited in three Spanish autonomous communities. Individuals completed an e-assessment including sociodemographic variables, gambling-related characteristics, and the Problematic Gambling Severity Index. A total of 3.51%, 2.14%, and 0.51% were low risk, moderate risk, and problem gamblers, respectively. Predictors of at-risk/problem gambling were early gambling onset (OR 0.790; 95% CI 0.672, .929), mixed versus offline modality gambling access (OR 2.216; 95% CI 1.396, 3.516), and having gambled in the previous year in a casino (OR 1.910; 95% CI 1.194, 3.056), sports betting (OR 1.597; 95% CI 1.003, 2.542), or electronic gaming machines (OR 2.111; 95% CI 1.064, 4.189). Gambling is ubiquitous in the general population and a high proportion of young adults present low and moderate risk of problem gambling. Addressing gambling is a public health challenge and policies to regulate it should be targeted at delaying the age of onset and restricting access to online gambling.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":"231-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11982148/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the burden of obesity and its impact on cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension were investigated among South African men and women. The study utilized data from the South African National Income Dynamics Study (SA-NIDS) surveys conducted from 2008 to 2017. A total of 80,270 individuals consented to participate, comprising 32,686 men (41%) and 47,584 women (59%). Besides multivariable logistic regression models, the relative importance of obesity on hypertension was assessed and compared to behavioral and socioeconomic conditions. Obesity and elevated waist-circumference measurements were the most prominent correlates of increased prevalence of hypertension. After adjusting for non-modifiable and background risk factors, the population-attributable risk (PAR%) of obesity on hypertension exceeded that of other traditional risk factors. It was substantially higher in women ( <math><mrow><mi>P</mi> <mi>A</mi> <mi>R</mi> <mo>%</mo> <mi>s</mi></mrow> </math> ranged: 52%, 95% CI: 50%, 55%) compared to men ( <math><mrow><mi>P</mi> <mi>A</mi> <mi>R</mi> <mo>%</mo> <mi>s</mi></mrow> </math> ranged: 33%, 95% CI: 31%, 36%). In sex-specific analyses, men and women with obesity were more than four and three times more likely, respectively, to be hypertensive (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR): 4.41 and 3.72, p < 0.001) compared to those with normal weights. Prevention strategies targeting key modifiable factors such as obesity, waist circumference, smoking, alcohol use and lack of exercise, are likely the most effective means of identifying and reaching those at highest risk. Furthermore, developing and implementing socially and culturally appropriate awareness programs remain a research priority.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Austria, the EUPC is trialled via a three-year pilot project to explore its appropriateness and long-term feasibility. We report on the first two years of EUPC project implementation as part of a Special Issue on EUPC implementation practice and lessons learnt. As of January 2025, four national trainers had delivered a total of four trainings (three in-person, one online), reaching over 70 professionals in Austria and six from neighbouring countries. EUPC training was offered free of charge, and a three-day format appeared to work best for the basic module. Participants recommended EUPC for continuation beyond the pilot phase, citing not only its potential to promote professionalisation, quality assurance and evidence-based work but also to facilitate exchanges of perspectives, networking and a common prevention language among different professionals. Existing prevention infrastructures were used to create a suitable system for project coordination and dissemination of EUPC. The pilot is jointly undertaken by two major stakeholders representing different contexts: the national public health institute and the national association of provincial addiction prevention units. Creating a shared vision for the project and securing necessary funding was initially challenging but was achieved through relationship-building, a shared commitment to 'quality in prevention' and a focus on the potential benefits of offering EUPC. These aspects also helped to successfully navigate the balance between a flexible approach to EUPC at the European level and the practical need for a structured approach in Austria. Our insights from a formative evaluation, routine data collection and team discussions can support further development of EUPC at the European level and in other countries.","PeriodicalId":73905,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention (2022)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143582411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
