The pandemic's impact, despite the relatively modest death toll, was examined by analysing the Years of Life Lost (YLL) derived from disease surveillance datasets.Methods: The individual YLLs were calculated using the global disease burden approach applying 7% discounting rate and adjusting for sex, age-at-death, and the individual's city-location. The YLLs were then aggregated on a monthly basis. Descriptive analytics were used to characterise the dynamic nature over time of the YLLs.Results: A total of 51 749.07 YLLs due to COVID-19 were estimated, i.e. 9.09 YLLs per death or 969.49 YLLs per 100 000 population. The monthly YLL ranged from 68.55 to 7 641.12. On average, the age-at-death is 59.68 years with males having younger age-at-death than females. Notably, the weekly COVID-19 incidences and deaths in Southern Philippines showed synchronous peaks.Conclusion: The average age-at-death in Southern Philippines is at least 10 years younger than both international age-at-death estimates and the Philippine life expectancy. The synchronous weekly peaks may highlight distinct pandemic dynamics for a low- and middle-income country. The YLL due to COVID-19 in Southern Philippines, at a sub-national level, is comparable to some country-level estimates, highlighting the impact of the pandemic on this island region alone.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056878","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 study examined whether English local authorities (LAs) have conducted suicide audits, key findings and whether these were used to develop their action plans.Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed suicide audits and action plans from 153 LAs, using data collected from Freedom of Information requests, using statistical (Chi-square test) and thematic analysis.Results: Of 153 LAs, 8 did not respond. Of the remaining 145 LAs, 60% conducted audits. Data from 88 suicide audits and 113 action plans were analysed. Males between 45 and 64 years old were found to have the highest incidence of suicide; coastal LAs reported significantly higher suicide rates than the national average (P = .009). Locations (60.2%) and methods of suicide (62.5%) were recognized as key factors for intervention.Conclusions: The aim and scope of suicide audits and action plans vary significantly. Identified risk factors were higher in coastal LAs, and support for men remains inadequate. Standardized guidelines could improve the impact and consistency of data collection and assist in the development of robust strategies to tackle suicide prevention initiatives.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144061314","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 public health problem requires the development of effective preventive strategies based on the risk factors. The aim of this study is to analyse the social determinants of health which may be predictors of online and face-to-face gambling in young people.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using the Survey on Drug Use in Secondary Education in Spain, ESTUDES (2021), as the main data collection tool. The selected sample consisted of N = 22 321.Results: Gender, age, academic performance and compulsive internet use were found to be predictors of online and face-to-face gambling. Gambling with money was statistically significantly related to male gender, age, presence of truancy, low academic achievement, compulsive internet use, mother's educational level and mother's employment status.Conclusions: This study offers a detailed analysis of connection between social and demographic factors that precede gambling beginning and the presence of problem behaviours. Academic achievement and gender differences appear to relate to the pathological gambling in adolescents. These should be taken as a reference when generating preventive strategies that allow us to focus on the most vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144061317","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 study examined whether the renaming influenced public perception of COVID-19's severity right after the change, despite the Omicron variant itself remaining unchanged.Methods: A survey was conducted immediately following the renaming in China. Participants were asked to directly compare the two names, and indirectly questioned about their perceptions of the virus. Responses were compared to assess whether linguistic framing with NCP or NCI influenced perceptions.Results: Direct comparisons showed that 65% of respondents (N = 1256) perceived the new name as less serious and frightening than the old one. However, one-third of participants did not perceive such differences, which was associated with their education level, age, and relationship status. Indirect comparisons revealed that perceived severity of COVID-19 was influenced by an interaction between wording in names and participants' intensity of COVID-19 experience.Conclusions: Linguistic framing, personal experience, and sociodemographic factors can all influence disease perceptions during health crises. Optimizing naming strategies can reduce public anxiety and enhance health communication.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144063391","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 study assessed tobacco use prevalence, legal awareness, control attitudes and the need for greater emphasis on tobacco control in healthcare curricula among professionals, students and staff in Eastern India, specifically in Bihar and Jharkhand.Methods: In July and August 2023, an extensive online survey was conducted across 24 tertiary healthcare institutions involving medical, dental and nursing students, as well as faculty, resident physicians, nursing professionals and support staff.Results: The study revealed that 15.9% of participants currently use tobacco, with 9.6% reporting daily use. Notably, non-users demonstrated higher awareness of tobacco-related laws compared to users. Multifactor logistic regression analysis identified several determinants of tobacco use including age, sex, marital status, occupation, family income and geographic origin. A significant finding was that less knowledge about tobacco laws correlated strongly with higher rates of tobacco use. Furthermore, regional variations were observed, with a lower prevalence of tobacco use in participants from southern states.Conclusions: Our findings underscore the necessity of integrating comprehensive tobacco education into healthcare curricula and reinforcing awareness campaigns to effectively mitigate tobacco use within this critical sector.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144015996","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}

The treaty's underlying ethic was cosmopolitan in intent, emphasizing equal value of all people with obligations stemming from shared humanity.Methods: The principles of the working draft of 13 July 2022 and the proposed agreement of 22 April 2024 were compared by textual analysis for content and sequence. Changes were analysed using the ethical framework of cosmopolitanism and associated public health implications identified.Results: Compared with the working draft, the proposed agreement consolidated principles such as solidarity and reduced specific obligations, weakening ethical demands. Sovereignty was elevated to the cardinal principle, while obligations tied to equity and human rights were less specific, reflecting a shift from cosmopolitan intentions and a reduced emphasis on cooperation for shared public health goals.Conclusions: Changes made through the pandemic treaty negotiation process suggest ethical amnesia, undermining global equity, justice, and solidarity with consequences for public health and pandemic preparedness. Strengthening obligations in the treaty text is essential to embed a collective motivation for cooperation necessary for effective public health before the next pandemic.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144061209","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}

Incident hypertension was classified first with objective blood pressure measures and antihypertensive medication use and, secondly, including self-reported diagnosis. Anxiety was identified in Waves 4 and 5, including age at diagnosis. Analyses used multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models with anxiety treated as a time-dependent predictor.Results: The average age was ~29 at Wave 4 and ~37 at Wave 5. Results showed mixed evidence, with no significant association between prior anxiety and objectively measured hypertension. However, including self-reported hypertension, a prior diagnosis of anxiety was associated with incident hypertension (aOR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.63-0.92). Time-to-event analyses further supported this inverse relationship.Conclusion: This study found some evidence suggesting an inverse relationship between anxiety and incident hypertension in young to middle-aged adults, warranting further longitudinal research into the complex relationship between mental and cardiovascular health.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144039753","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}

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.
