They were used to calculate state-level rates. States were classified by whether their VHA veteran and whole US population rates were above or below respective mean rates. Local Moran's I was leveraged to examine spatial autocorrelation.Results: State-level suicide mortality rates and disparities among states were generally higher for VHA veterans (2018: 37.3 ± 7.2; 2019: 46.8 ± 8.3) than for the whole US population (2018: 16.6 ± 4.3; 2019: 16.4 ± 4.4). For both populations, there were statistically significant clusters with high suicide rates. Over one-fourth of states demonstrated inverse relationships, with rates above mean for one group but below for other. VHA veterans are at higher risk with over one-third of states had greater than average veteran suicide risk ratio.Conclusions: VHA veterans are at higher risk than the whole population across all states. Mortality disparities among states and clusters of states with high and low rates suggest targeted interventions and cooperative health strategies may help address these differences.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797505","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}

We describe the effectiveness of a theory-informed and feasibility-tested intervention (in-home clinics; posters/videos to address vaccination hesitancy and care home financial incentives for uptake) to improve CHS vaccination rates.Method: Recruited care homes in England with CHS vaccination rates <40% were randomised at the home level for intervention or control. Assuming a change in CHS vaccinated from 55% to 75%, 20% attrition, and 90% power, we required 39 homes per arm. Monthly data were collected throughout flu season. The difference in vaccination rates between the arms was compared using the intention-to-treat principle and a random effect logistic regression model.Findings: The mean % vaccination rate was 28.6% in control (n = 35) and 32.7% in intervention (n = 35) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.68-0.4, P = .435]. In a sub-analysis, including only homes receiving at least one clinic, control was 28.6% (n = 35) and intervention was 41.7% (n = 23) (OR = 2.08, 95% CI: 0.67-2.70, P = .045).Interpretation: No effect on vaccination status was demonstrated. Within homes receiving clinics, a significant increase was observed. Process evaluation evidence suggests that starting 3 months into the influenza season partially explains this.

Despite this, uptake of the COVID-19 vaccination remained low in these settings. Social roles, relationships, and freedoms influence vaccine uptake. Prisons are isolated by design and may foster mistrust that negatively influences vaccine uptake. Prisons are also unique communities with their own social networks and relationships.Methods: We undertook a questionnaire survey across all six prisons in Wales, UK, to gather data on vaccine behaviour, attitudes, and other influencing factors. We fitted binomial generalised linear mixed effects models to identify predictors of vaccination.Results: Surveys were completed by 727 prison residents. We found low vaccination uptake in younger cohorts, those serving short sentences, and those who perceived themselves to be in poorer health. Those reporting low levels of trust towards others and those reporting fewer sources of social support in prison were less likely to be vaccinated.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that building a prosocial atmosphere in prison and strengthening relationships and trust between prison staff and residents would positively influence vaccine uptake. Specific message framing should be considered to address the beliefs and motivations most prevalent in this population group, rather than focussing simply on enhancing the opportunity for vaccination.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143757065","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}

A Poisson regression model compared the suicide risk seven days before and after the Lunar and Western New Year's Day with that of the remainder of the year, stratified by gender and marital status. A moderation analysis by gender was conducted.Results: Suicide risks in married and divorced men decreased before Lunar New Year's Day, but the risk was elevated in divorced men a few days after both the Lunar and Western New Year's Days. Compared to men, divorced women had a higher suicide risk on Lunar New Year's Day.

A total of 225 265 Korean adults had completed the survey. The associations between general, health-related, and COVID-19-related characteristics and obesity were analyzed using Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analyses.Results: The obesity rate among the total participants was 30.6%. Among all participants, 18.7% responded that COVID-19 had a significant impact on their daily lives. The obesity was higher in cases where the impact of COVID-19 on daily life was significant, concerns about economic damage due to COVID-19 were present, and changes in expenditure had occurred. In addition, obesity rates were higher in participants who experienced decrease in physical activity, increase in instant food consumption, and increase in smoking after COVID-19.Conclusions: COVID-19 has brought about significant changes in daily life, including physical activity and eating habits.

We analyzed the data of 1781 adults aged 18-69 who participated in the 2020 WHO STEPS survey. Cross-tabulations and logistic regression analyses were performed.Results: Overall, 17.9% of adults (95% confidence interval: 15.5-20.6) lived with multi-morbidity. Hypertension was more prevalent in men (37.2%), while diabetes and overweight/obesity were higher in women, at 5% and 57.4%, respectively. Rural residents had a higher prevalence of hypertension (30.6%), but urban areas showed greater rates of diabetes (4.4%) and overweight/obesity (50.7%). Women had 28% lower odds of multi-morbidity. Individuals aged 60 years and older showed higher odds of multi-morbidity. Participants with tertiary education and current smokers had significantly lower odds of multi-morbidity, while married individuals and urban residents exhibited higher odds.Conclusion: Older age, being married, and living in urban areas were associated with higher odds of multi-morbidity, while higher education and being a woman exhibited protective effects.

Feedback and interviews indicated the service positively impacted mental health and wellbeing, which may be underpinned by various mechanisms (e.g. promotion of health through companionship, enhanced motivation to engage in activities).Conclusion: This evaluation highlighted the service's successful implementation and positive impact, alongside delivery barriers. Given the service's complexity, involving various content and interactions with diverse populations, it is likely multiple mechanisms work to underpin positive outcomes.

This observational study aimed to provide a summary of hospitalisations over a 10-year period in Australia, with a specific focus on annual, monthly, and regional trends, as well as a comparison with four similar neurological conditions.Methods: A retrospective cohort study of late effects of polio and post-polio syndrome from 2011 to 2021. Primary data were obtained via a data-on-request process through the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in 2022. Analysis was carried out according to Welch Analyses of Variance with Games-Howell post-Hoc tests using GraphPad PRISM and Stata Version 17.0.Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in the monthly hospitalisations over the 10-year period and months according to seasonal trends, and significant differences across geographical regions and regionality. Significant differences existed between the number of hospitalisations per 100 000 population across diagnostic codes (p < 0.01).Conclusions: Annual trends were identified from 2010 to 2021 for post-polio hospitalisations in Australia.
