Existing studies have highlighted that green space is associated with non-communicable diseases. However, scant attention has been paid to the association between quantity and quality communicable Here, we explore relationships influenza cases in Guangzhou, China, using street-view (SVG) SVG-quality indicators, which offer a better assessment of urban than traditional remote sensing metrics. Influenza were collected from hospitalization records, while street-level was measured by data deep neural networks. The neighbourhood deprivation index (NDI) also used as proxy for neighbourhood-level socio-economic status. We employed Random Effects-Eigenvector Spatial Filtering (RE-ESF) regression model because its usefulness handling spatial dependence. Findings showed higher levels SVG-quantity are lower number cases, implying negative relationship. Specifically, marginal effects SVG indicate may decrease 145 every unit increase SVG-quantity, 11 SVG-quality.

The fall of 2021 was the first school semester to begin with widespread in-person learning since COVID-19 pandemic began. Understanding dietary and physical activity behaviors adolescents during this time can provide insight into potential health equity gaps programmatic needs in schools communities. This report uses data from national Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted among a nationally representative sample U.S. public private students grades 9-12 update estimates high overall by sex race ethnicity.

Parentification Vulnerability, Reactivity, Resilience, and Thriving: A Mixed Methods Systematic Literature Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(13), P. 6197 - 6197

Published: June 21, 2023

Parentification occurs when youth are forced to assume developmentally inappropriate parent- or adult-like roles and responsibilities. This review thoroughly examines current empirical research on parentification, its outcomes, related mechanisms outline patterns of findings significant literature gaps. is timely in the large context COVID-19 pandemic, pandemic-induced responsibilities demands youth, shifting family role may exacerbate parentification consequences. We used 2020 updated Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework identify 95 studies (13 qualitative, 81 quantitative, 1 mixed methods) meeting eligibility criteria. Representation from six continents highlights as a global phenomenon. Using thematic analysis, we identified five themes qualitative quantitative studies. These were further integrated into four common themes: (1) some parentified experienced positive outcomes (e.g., coping), albeit constructs varied; (2) mitigate additional trauma, employed various protective strategies; (3) negative by included internalizing behaviors, externalizing problems, compromised physical health; (4) youths' characteristics rejection sensitivity, attachment style), perceived benefits, supports influenced outcomes.

Abstract Background Most available evidence on the effects of COVID-19 pandemic child movement behaviors is from cross-sectional studies using self-report measures. This study aimed to identify change trajectories and their associated factors for objectively-assessed physical activity sedentary time among an ethnically socioeconomically diverse sample school-age children Central Texas, U.S.A., during COVID-19. Methods Pre- (Sept. 2019 – Feb. 2020) during- (Oct. 2020 March 2021) behavior data were collected (8–11 years) enrolled in Safe Travel Environment Evaluation Texas Schools (STREETS) cohort study. Daily spent moderate- vigorous-intensity (MVPA) assessed GT3X-wBT Actigraph accelerometers. Parent surveys used assess socio-ecological factors. Latent class linear mixed models MVPA time. Logistic regression association between characteristics with trajectory groups. Results There was a significant decrease mean daily (− 9.4 mins, SD = 18.54) increase (0.83 hrs, 1.18). Two groups identified (‘decrease MPVA’ ‘maintain high MVPA’), majority (82.1%) being ‘decrease MVPA’ group. Three (‘moderate sedentary, ‘steep sedentary,’ sedentary’), most (78.5%) ‘moderate increase’ Girls had significantly lower odds group than boys (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.11, 0.61). Children living neighborhoods higher perceived social cohesion 1.22, 1.06, 1.41), while those sedentary’ 0.86, 0.74, 0.99).

Advancing rapid adaptation for urgent public health crises: Using implementation science to facilitate effective and efficient responses

Frontiers in Public Health, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 10

Published: Aug. 24, 2022

Responding rapidly to emerging public health crises is vital reducing their escalation, spread, and impact on population health. These responses, however, are challenging disparate processes for researchers practitioners. Researchers often develop new interventions that take significant time resources, with little exportability. In contrast, community-serving systems poorly equipped properly adopt or adapt existing ones in a data-driven way during crises' onset escalation. This results delays deploying evidence-based (EBIs) notable consequences. prolonged timeline EBI development implementation morbidity mortality costly preventable. As emergencies have demonstrated (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), the negative consequences exacerbate disparities. Implementation science has potential bridge extant gap between research practice, enhance equity rapid but underutilized. For field greater "real-world" impact, it needs be more rapid, iterative, participatory, work within timeframes of systems. paper focuses adaptation as developing area facilitate system responses crises. We highlight frameworks guide optimizing EBIs when responding urgent issues. also explore economic implications adaptation. Resource limitations frequently central reason failure; thus, we consider impacts Finally, provide examples propose directions future application.
