Abstract (sommario):

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) significantly contributes to morbidity in developing countries. We recently published a study of prevalence and risk factors in school-aged children in three mountainous areas in Sichuan province of western China. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) on data from that study to guide intervention planning, here we examine risk factors grouped into three broad interventional categories: sociodemographics, human behavior, and sources of pork and pig husbandry. Because neuroimaging is not easily available, using SEM allows for the use of multiple observed variables (serological tests and symptoms) to represent probable NCC cases. Data collected from 2608 students was included in this analysis. Within this group, seroprevalence of cysticercosis IgG antibodies was 5.4%. SEM results showed that sociodemographic factors (β = 0.33, p < 0.05), sources of pork and pig husbandry (β = 0.26, p < 0.001), and behavioral factors (β = 0.33, p < 0.05) were all directly related to probable NCC in school-aged children. Sociodemographic factors affected probable NCC indirectly via sources of pork and pig husbandry factors (β = 0.07, p < 0.001) and behavioral variables (β = 0.07, p < 0.001). Both sociodemographic factors (β = 0.07, p < 0.05) and sources of pork and pig husbandry factors (β = 0.10, p < 0.01) affected probable NCC indirectly via behavioral variables. Because behavioral variables not only had a large direct effect but also served as a critical bridge to strengthen the effect of sociodemographics and sources of pork and pig husbandry on probable NCC, our findings suggest that interventions targeting behavioral factors may be the most effective in reducing disease.

Abstract (sommario):

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between socio-demographic factors and dietary patterns in pregnancy. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with baseline data from a cohort of 421 postpartum women aged 18 and 45 years resident in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dietary intake was evaluated with a validated food frequency questionnaire at 15 days following delivery, having as time frame the second and third pregnancy trimesters. Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis for principal components analysis. The association between socio-demographic factors and the identified dietary patterns was assessed with multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: Two dietary patterns were identified: i) healthy: fruits; green vegetables; vegetables; fish; roots, corn and potato; milk and dairy and herbal tea mate, and negatively loadings for alcohol and coffee and ii) mixed: rice; bean; flour and pasta; breads; cake and cookies; soda and juice; sugar and sweets; fatty foods; meats; chicken; and eggs. The linear regression showed that the income (β=0.0002; 95%CI: 0.0002-0.0004) and schooling (β=0.0491; 95%CI: 0.0264-0.0718) were positively associated with healthy pattern, and parity (β=-0.1044; 95%CI: -0.1665- -0.0423) and skin color (β=-0.3102; 95%CI: -0.5256- -0.0947) were negatively associated. Skin color (β=0.1647; 95%CI: 0.0378- 0.2916) and marital status (β=0.1065; 95%CI: 0.0062- 0.2067) were positively associated with mixed pattern and income (β=-0.0001; 95%CI:-0.0002- -0.0001) and schooling (β=-0.0281; 95%CI: -0.0417- -0.0146) were negatively associated. CONCLUSION: Socio-demographic factors such as income, schooling, skin color, marital status and parity were associated with dietary patterns in this sample of postpartum women residents in Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between racial identity, self-esteem, sociodemographic factors, and health-promoting lifestyles in a sample of African Americans. African American mortality rates are disproportionately high. These rates are associated with health behaviors that are driven by many factors including lifestyle practices. Other factors may be self-esteem and racial identity. Research shows gender differences in health behaviors, but no studies have explored a racial identity and gender interaction. Exploring these relationships may lead to the improved health status of African Americans. A convenience sample of 224 was recruited consisting of 48% males (n = 108). The mean age was 37.2 years (SD = 12.6). Regression analyses demonstrated that the internalization racial identity stage (β = .12; p < .001) and self-esteem (β = .50; p < .001) contributed to the variance in health-promoting lifestyles. Self-esteem did not mediate the relationship between immersion and health-promoting lifestyle scores (β = -.16; p = .03). The full model Beta values show that racial identity remains significant with sociodemographics and interactions controlled, but moderators do not. Racial identity, while not a strong predictor, has some impact on health-promoting lifestyles regardless of sociodemographics.

Abstract Objectives: to compile studies produced regardinggenetic and non-genetic risks factors associated with occurrence of spontaneous abortion. Methods: it talks about a systematic review article, with studies between January of 2008 to November of 2018 according to SciELO, PubMed, Lilacs and BVS. Results: in total, 567 articles were found. After applying the definedeligibility criteria, 44 articles made part of the review, being the majority published on Asia between 2008 and 2011, and 10 articles published on Brazil. Not genetic causes like sociodemographic factors and healthy state were among the most associated conditions of spontaneous abortion. Asiatic continent had predominance about the correlation of spontaneous abortion with factors related to life style like obesity, smoking and labor activities, on the other hand, in the Americas, causes related to sociodemographics factors like low pay and low studies are high-lighted. Conclusions: the risk factors change about the occurrence region, being important to make local studies capable of subsidize the implantation of public politics and to reduce abortions.

ObjectivesTo determine whether the frequency of diagnostic codes for long-term conditions (LTCs) in primary care electronic healthcare records (EHRs) is associated with (1) disease coding incentives, (2) General Practice (GP), (3) patient sociodemographic characteristics and (4) calendar year of diagnosis.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingGPs in England from 2015 to 2022 contributing to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum dataset.ParticipantsAll patients registered to a GP with at least one incident LTC diagnosed between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe number of diagnostic codes for an LTC in (1) the first and (2) the second year following diagnosis, stratified by inclusion in the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) financial incentive programme.Results3 113 724 patients were included, with 7 723 365 incident LTCs. Conditions included in QOF had higher rates of annual coding than conditions not included in QOF (1.03 vs 0.32 per year, p<0.0001). There was significant variation in code frequency by GP which was not explained by patient sociodemographics. We found significant associations with patient sociodemographics, with a trend towards higher coding rates in people living in areas of higher deprivation for both QOF and non-QOF conditions. Code frequency was lower for conditions with follow-up time in 2020, associated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.ConclusionsThe frequency of diagnostic codes for newly diagnosed LTCs is influenced by factors including patient sociodemographics, disease inclusion in QOF, GP practice and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Natural language processing or other methods using temporally ordered code sequences should account for these factors to minimise potential bias.

Abstract (sommario):

Recent research indicates that segregation is, in addition to many other undesirable consequences, negatively associated with social capital, in particular, generalized trust within a community. This study investigates whether an individual's residential neighborhood and the stereotypes associated with this neighborhood affect others’ trusting behavior as a specific form of social exchange. Using an anonymous trust game experiment in the context of five districts of the German capital, Berlin, we show that trusting is contingent on others’ residential neighborhood rather than on deliberate assessments of trustworthiness. Participants show significantly greater trust toward individuals from positively stereotyped neighborhoods with favorable sociodemographic characteristics than to persons from negatively stereotyped neighborhoods with unfavorable sociodemographics. Importantly, when stereotypes and sociodemographic factors point in opposite directions, participants’ trust decisions reflect stereotype content.

Abstract (sommario):

6520 Background: A significant gap exists between Caucasians and African-Americans (AAs) in prostate cancer mortality, possibly due to sociodemographics, disease biology, or treatment. Furthermore, differential access to care at NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers (NCICCCs) conceivably contributes to this difference. Methods: Using data from the Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program, we studied the underlying causes of differences in mortality in 18,790 men (AAs: 4,211; Caucasians: 14,579) diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1998 and 2003, and followed until 2006. Three NCICCCs serve this area: USC-Norris, UCLA-Jonsson, and City of Hope. Results: Median age at diagnosis was 67.5 yrs; AAs were significantly more likely to have lower SES; carry no insurance; have distant disease; and be managed with “watchful waiting.” The overall and prostate-specific survival was significantly superior for patients treated at NCICCCs, and for Caucasians (Table). Multivariate analysis, after adjustment for sociodemographics, race, insurance, tumor-related factors, and treatment-modality, revealed that treatment at NCICCCs was associated with lower overall (HR=0.74, 95% CI=0.6–0.9) and prostate-specific mortality (HR=0.69, 95% CI=0.5–0.97). AAs were less likely to utilize NCICCCs (OR=0.42, 95%CI=0.4–0.5). Finally, adjustment for sociodemographic, tumor/treatment-related factors, and treatment site abrogated the racial difference in overall (HR=1.08, 95%CI=0.99–1.2) and prostate-specific (HR=1.11, 95%CI=0.9–1.3) mortality. Conclusions: Patients treated at NCICCCs have lower mortality compared with other facilities. AAs are less likely to utilize NCICCCs for prostate cancer. AAs and Caucasians have comparable overall and prostate-specific survival, after adjustment for sociodemographic, tumor/treatment-related factors, and treatment site. Future studies are needed to understand barriers and facilitators to utilization of NCICCCs for management of prostate cancer. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract (sommario):

Background and Purpose— Cross sectional analyses have found large race differences in poststroke disability, yet these analyses do not account for prestroke disability, hospitalization factors, postacute care, transitions, or mortality. In this context, we explore mortality, nursing home placement, and disability in a longitudinal analysis of older stroke survivors who survived at least 90 days poststroke. Methods— A prospective cohort of black or white stroke survivors from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (2009–2016) linked to Medicare were used. Disability was assessed during in-person interviews with validated scales (0–7). We used cox proportional hazards models to separately assess mortality and nursing home admission adjusting for age, sex, sociodemographics (marital status, education, income, insurance status, social network size), comorbidities, hospitalization factors, postacute care, and 90-day readmissions. To estimate racial differences in disability, we used a multilevel linear regression model initially adjusting for age and sex and then compared with a model adjusted for sociodemographics, comorbidities, hospitalization factors, postacute care, and 90-day readmissions. Results— There were 282 stroke survivors, of which 76 (12.6%) were black. There were no race differences in long-term mortality (hazard ratio for black, 1.2 [95% CI, 0.7–2.2]; P =0.5) or nursing home placement (hazard ratio for black, 0.7 [95% CI, 0.2–2.4]; P =0.5). The largest race differences in disability were observed immediately prestroke, estimated age- and sex-adjusted activity limitations were (2.6 [2.0–3.2] in blacks versus 1.4 [1.0–1.8] in whites, mean difference, 1.2 [0.5–1.9], P <0.001) and immediately poststroke (2.6 [2.0–3.3] in blacks versus 1.7 [1.2–2.1] in whites, mean difference, 1.0 [0.2–1.7], P <0.01). Full adjustment did not substantially change the associations between race and disability. Conclusions— Race differences in nursing home placement, long-term mortality, sociodemographics, comorbidities, hospitalization factors, postacute care, and readmissions are unlikely to be large contributors to race differences in poststroke disability. Further research is needed to understand the drivers of race differences in poststroke disability.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose: To assess the public’s trust in health information sources (ie, government health agencies, doctors, family/friends, charitable organizations, and religious leaders/organizations) from 2005 to 2015 and identify sociodemographics factors associated with high trust. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Health Information National Trends Survey, a US nationally representative publicly available data on health-related knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes. Participants: Data included 5 iterations (2005-2015) of US adults (2005: N = 5586, 2008: N = 7764, 2011: N = 3959, 2013: N = 3185, and 2015: N = 3738). Measures: Outcome variables were high trust in health information sources and independent variables were sociodemographics. Analysis: A descriptive analysis was conducted to track changes in trust over the past decade. The χ2 and multivariable logistic regression were conducted to assess sociodemographic associations in 2015. Results: Trust in health information across all sources remained stable from 2005 to 2015. Doctors were the most trusted source, followed by government health agencies. Sociodemographics were independently associated with trust. For example, non-Hispanic blacks were more likely to trust charitable organizations (odds ratio [OR] = 2.32, confidence interval [CI] = 1.42-3.79) and religious leaders/organizations (OR = 3.57, CI = 1.20-10.57) compared to non-Hispanic whites. In addition, those with less than high school education (OR = 2.44, CI = 1.32-4.52) were more likely than college graduates to report trust in religious leaders/organizations. Conclusion: Although there are analytic limitations to the specific time periods, the findings demonstrate that public health communication practitioners must consider the role of source credibility among priority populations when disseminating and promoting information.

Abstract (sommario):

Even though initiation of breastfeeding among term and preterm infants has increased, the incidence and duration among preterm infants continues to lag because of the unique challenges of breastfeeding preterm infants. African American mothers have the lowest rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration, and their preterm infants are less likely to receive breast milk while in the neonatal intensive care unit. The objective of this cross-sectional quantitative study was to evaluate the relationship between breastfeeding and maternal sociodemographic factors as well as medical and obstetrical conditions for infants born between 32-37 weeks gestational age in South Carolina from 2009 to 2011. The health belief model provided the framework for this study. Secondary data from the South Carolina Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System included 1,752 preterm pregnancies. Results of binary logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that mothers who were African American and those who had lower income, no Medicaid, and lower education level breastfed less frequently. Findings may be used to decrease neonatal, postnatal, and infant morbidity and mortality, and to increase breastfeeding knowledge and support to ensure successful breastfeeding of preterm infants beyond the hospital.

Abstract (sommario):

Le frottis-cervico-utérin (FCU) est un des piliers de la prévention du cancer du col de l'utérus. En France, jusqu'en 2019, il était recommandé tous les trois ans de 25 à 65 ans. De nombreux travaux rapportent des inégalités sociales de dépistage en défaveur des femmes les plus démunies, et des discriminations existent vis-à-vis des femmes en excès de poids ou des immigrées de 1ère ou 2ème génération. Par ailleurs le sur dépistage est encore un phénomène peu étudié en France. Nous proposons ici :1/ de nous pencher sur la façon dont les inégalités sociales varient selon l'indice de masse corporelle (IMC) et l'histoire migratoire ; 2/ d'analyser les trajectoires de dépistage des femmes au cours du temps et d'identifier les caractéristiques sociodémographiques qui leur sont associées. Ce travail s'appuie sur les données de plus de 55 000 femmes de la cohorte Constances. Nos résultats montrent un effet synergique délétère de revenus bas et de l'excès de poids d'une part et de revenus bas et de l'histoire migratoire d'autre part sur le dépistage. Il s'agit ainsi d'une double peine pour ces femmes en surpoids ou immigrées, à la fois moins bien dépistées et soumises à des inégalités sociales plus fortes. Alors que plus de 70 % des femmes de notre échantillon sont sur dépistées, les pratiques de dépistage varient peu au cours du temps. Les femmes sur dépistées en miroir de celles sous dépistées ont des caractéristiques sociales et de santé plus favorables
Cervical cancer screening is one of the pillars of cervical cancer prevention. In France, until 2019, it was recommended every three years between the ages of 25 and 65. Several studies report social inequalities in screening, to disadvantage of the most disadvantaged women, and discrimination against women who are obese and 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. In addition, over-screening is still a little-studied phenomenon in France. We propose here:1/ to look at how social inequalities change according to body mass index (BMI) and migratory history; 2/ to analyse women's screening trajectories over time and to identify associated socio-demographic characteristics. This study is based on data from over 55,000 women in Constances cohort. Our results show a combined influence of low income and excess weight on the one hand, and low income and migratory history on the other, on screening. The result is a double penalty for overweight and immigrant women, who are both less well screened and subject to greater social inequalities. 70% of the women in our sample are over-screened, screening practices vary little over time. Women who are over-screened have more favourable social and health characteristics than those who are under-screened

Abstract (sommario):

The study examines women's mortality according to age and a wide range of socioeconomic indicators, economic activity, marital status, motherhood and children's characteristics. The purpose of this study has been to find better empirical understanding of women's socioeconomic mortality differentials and to show how female mortality varies in the face of conflicting demands of employment, marriage and motherhood. All deaths among 35-64-year-old Finnish women in the period 1981-5 were analysed on the basis of data in which census records were combined with death registration. The empirical data analysis was carried out by means of Poisson regression models. Socioeconomic mortality differentials among 35-64-year-old Finnish women exist for all groups of causes of death analysed in this study. For most diseases the relationship between mortality and socioeconomic status was positive: mortality was higher among women from lower socioeconomic statuses. Mortality differentials were relatively small for other cancers than breast cancer, but large for causes related to circulatory diseases and 'other diseases'. Women from lower socioeconomic statuses had lower breast cancer mortality than other women. For married women mortality differentials according to husband's educational and occupational characteristics were, for most causes of death, comparable to those based on women's own characteristics. Similar results were obtained for men. Socioeconomic mortality differentials were similar in all sub-groups defined by parental status, economic activity and marital status with the exception of single women who had very large differentials for circulatory diseases and 'other diseases'. Socioeconomic mortality differentials were also similar in categories defined by other socioeconomic variables. The study has also shown that marital status, motherhood and economic activity are strongly related to mortality from all causes of death. These relationships can to a large extent be understood in terms of main effects. Only lone mothers with more than one child have higher mortality than expected on the basis of the main effects model; high mortality is mainly attributable to circulatory diseases and accidents and violence. A detailed discussion of the theoretical relevance of these results is included in the thesis.

Abstract (sommario):

Adult physical activity is important for prevention of chronic diseases and to minimize health issues; therefore, the motivational influences of sociodemographic variables on participation in organized physical activity events warrant an investigation. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate differences in motivational influences between various sociodemographic variables as related to physical activity events in organized settings. The theoretical framework that guided this research study consisted of the theory of reasoned action (TRA), and the health belief model (HBM). The TRA was applied to study the intention of health behavior, while the HBM was used to investigate individuals' motivation to engage in organized physical activity events. A cross-sectional study design in which an online survey consisting of the 40 item Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale was used to collect data from adults who participated in an organized 5K or 10K running or walking event. The inferential statistical tests of the independent t test, one-way ANOVA, and ordinal logistic regression were used to determine the statistical relationships. The main research finding suggested that 6 motivational influences showed statistically significant relationship with organized physical activity events, which consisted of others' expectations (p = .025), competition/ego (p = .001), appearance (p = .001), affiliation (p = .034), mastery (p = .001), and psychological condition (p = .002) as it relates to their age group and gender. The research findings may be used to influence engagement in future organized physical activity events by understanding the sociodemographic variables relating to participation rates that may result in increased physical activity behavior within the community.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation explores the relationships between island food consumption, sociodemographic variables, and cardiovascular risk using data from the Pacific Islander Health Study (PIHS). Chapter 1 explores the associations between self-reported level of island food consumption and key covariates. Island food consumption was modeled using Poisson regression and adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, and cultural characteristics. Increased Pacific Island cultural affinity was the strongest predictor of increased island food consumption while being formerly married was associated with decreased island consumption. These results speak to cultural norms and lifestyle choices that influence dietary choice. Chapter 2 examines how the associations between Pacific Island cultural affinity and island food consumption is moderated by demographic covariates. Following exploratory factor analysis, two separate factors emerged. The scale was split into two subscales measuring cultural activity participation and culturally relevant media consumption. No significant interactions were found between the activity subscale and any of the covariates, but significant interactions were found between the media subscale and ethnicity and birth country. Differences in media consumption – and therefore food advertising or food portrayal – by birth country may drive the moderation seen in these interactions. Chapter 3 assesses the association between island food consumption and cardiovascular risk using linear regression. A 9-point cardiovascular risk score was constructed. After adjustment for four blocks of covariates island food consumption was not significantly associated with cardiovascular risk. In bivariate analyses, island food consumption was significantly associated with higher fruit and vegetable consumption, but not fast food or sugar sweetened beverage consumption. These findings suggest that the type of island foods consumed by PIHS participants may include high levels of fruits and vegetables that are part of a heart-healthy diet. This dissertation is a first step in understanding dietary patterns of Pacific Islander Americans and has generated several hypotheses that could be used to inform future work. Showing how island food consumption in this small, but growing population will one day inform both policy makers and targeted dietary interventions.

Abstract (sommario):

The older adult population is rapidly growing along with the use and continued need for hospice care services. Due to these circumstances there is on ongoing demand for experienced and knowledgeable social workers to meet the unique needs of this population. Research in this study indicates that social workers currently working in the hospice field do not feel adequately prepared to work with dying and bereaved patients. Furthermore, research shows a lack of education within social programs and social work textbooks regarding the subject of end of life care. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of social work student’ perceptions of hospice and determine if there were any differences depending on their sociodemographics. The sample was comprised of students enrolled in the undergraduate and graduate level social work program at California State University San Bernardino. This project was conducted using a quantitative design and data was collected through the use of an online questionnaire. There were no significant results of this study, however the study did find that while social work students do feel inadequately prepared to handle the unique challenges of hospice, they are knowledgeable in the field of hospice and have a desire to learn more about hospice. Recommendations for future research is for social worker programs to implement more education related to older adults and their unique needs. It is also recommended that social work students seek further education regarding hospice care and social worker development in order to adequately be prepared to work with these individuals and have the tools necessary to meet their needs.

Abstract (sommario):

Unhealthy eating during adolescence has shown to have multiple negative consequences. The aim of this paper is to acquire knowledge of dietary habits in adolescence and consider how this behaviour varies across different groups of adolescents. Correlations between dietary habits, age and gender have several times been found, in terms of girls eating healthier than boys, and the intake of healthy food decreasing with age. Additionally, adolescents of low socioeconomic position are at higher risk for having unhealthy dietary habits, while adolescents who are physically active seem to eat healthier. Further, it has been shown that low self-esteem in adolescence is associated with eating disorders, representing both restrained eating, but also binge eating. The mentioned correlations can be understood and explained using individual psychological models of health behaviour, like the KAP model and social cognitive theory.

Abstract (sommario):

In this chapter, risk factors for suicidal ideation and behavior are reviewed, including sociodemographics, prior suicidal behavior, nonsuicidal self-injury, depression, anxiety, substance use, family factors, physical and sexual abuse, sexual orientation, and access to firearms. Special emphasis is placed on the intersection of suicidality and interpersonal violence in terms of reciprocal risk. A review of the core areas to address in the acutely suicidal adolescent or the adolescent who has recently attempted suicide is also provided. Clinical questions regarding the adolescent’s current emotional state, suicidal ideation/intent, reasons for suicidality, access to means, and capability of the environment to keep the adolescent safe are suggested. The chapter concludes with a discussion of safety planning.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractThe European Values Study demonstrates a significant impact of religiosity on political attitudes. As an example, the authors investigate the effect of religiosity on attitudes towards immigrants and Muslims, as they are crucial for liberal democracy and a focal point of conflicts about values, politics, and religion. In three steps, the authors reflect on the complexity of this effect. First, selected theories about secularisation, individualisation, and pluralisation of religion are used to outline the development of religion in Europe and its role in the political arena. Second, the effect of religiosity in relation to sociodemographic factors is analysed. A cluster analysis forming socioreligious types offers a deeper insight, quantitatively and qualitatively, of the effect of religiosity on attitudes towards immigrants and Muslims in selected countries. Third, the results are theoretically interpreted. The authors demonstrate that religiosity is neither an independent influencing factor nor one that directly affects attitudes towards immigrants and Muslims. Rather, across Europe, the effect of religiosity is inseparably connected with sociodemographic variables such as ‘age’ and ‘size of town’ and depends on country-specific factors such as political discourses on migration, and religious historical constellations.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractEudaimonic well-being builds on the writings of Aristotle and integrates contemporary theories of positive psychological functioning. The empirically operationalization is detailed, emphasizing the importance of rigorous psychometric evaluation. Scientific advances of this model of well-being are noted, showing links to sociodemographic factors, experiences in work and family life, and health outcomes. Three future directions for research are considered. The first addresses growing problems of socioeconomic inequality and their role in undermining the opportunities of disadvantaged segments of society to experience eudaimonia. These problems have now been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately impacted those who were already vulnerable. The second new direction examines the role of the arts and humanities as factors that nurture eudaimonic well-being. Whether the arts can activate needed compassion and caring among the privileged is also considered. The third new direction examines the intersection of entrepreneurial studies with eudaimonic well-being. Conventional conceptions of entrepreneurial success focus on business profits; a case is made that eudaimonia, of the entrepreneur as well as his/her employees and surrounding communities, constitute further measure of success that elevate issues of virtue, morality, and ethics.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractFoodborne diseases are a major public health problem in African cities. Residents of secondary cities are often more at risk due to relatively low capacity for municipalities to provide hygiene infrastructure and to enforce food safety regulations. This study aimed to explore underlying factors that are associated with hygienic practices among food traders in Mzuzu, Malawi and Dschang, Cameroon. A multistage cross-sectional study design was conducted to sample 497 food traders in Mzuzu and 848 traders in Dschang. A questionnaire was administered to obtain data related to food safety practices, knowledge and sociodemographic characteristics of participants. Problems revealed by the survey included a lack of the following: knowledge about food safety regulations; toilet and hand washing facilities; waste bins and health inspections. The study suggests poor compliance of food hygiene practices among food traders. It highlights the lack of adequate action by the municipal government in educating food traders and enforcing food safety regulations.

Abstract (sommario):

Internet of Things (IoT) technology provides innovative solutions for home care. This study investigates Chinese adults’ preferences and influencing sociodemographic factors of using IoT home care technologies. A total of 512 Chinese (Mean age = 46.1 years, SD = 18.1 years) were investigated about their use and interest in 26 types of IoT home care technologies, overall willingness to use the technologies, and sociodemographic information using an online survey. Stepwise regression was used to identify predictors for ownership of IoT home care technologies and willingness to use IoT technologies. This study found that the overall ownership of IoT home care technologies was not high (Mean number of IoT technologies ‘already in use’ = 8.1 among the 26 selected technologies, SD = 5.0). Chinese users generally had a positive attitude towards such technologies. Their concern focused on home safety and health. People who were younger, more competent with housework, had a monthly disposable income of over 3000 Chinese Yuan (CNY), had more communication with neighbours, lived in a city, had better self-reported health status, lived in a villa and with Internet connection had higher overall scores for ownership of IoT technology. People with better communication skills, who were younger, lived in a city, had a monthly disposable income of 5000–10000 CNY, were more competent with housework and continued to work were more willing to use IoT home care technologies. This study helps stakeholders and policymakers understand the sociodemographic diversity the requirements for IoT home care among Chinese adults.

Abstract (sommario):

Climate change is imposing a large burden on the most vulnerable populations, particularly in the developing world. Establishing consistent causal relationships, however, is difficult because a multiplicity of climatic, economic and sociodemographic elements are combined to create the conditions for an outbreak of vector-borne disease. Based on a two-step procedure, this paper presents and tests an approach to estimating the effects of epidemic outbreaks on health vulnerability. The model proposed is empirically tested for five countries in Latin America where dengue is a national health priority. Using data from national censuses, satellite climate information and data from a newly developed disease outbreak surveillance online platform, the paper finds that climate has nonnegligible effects on health vulnerability. The evidence found and the vulnerability index constructed can be used to analyze the main determinants of vulnerability in order to address policy concerns.

Abstract (sommario):

In California, bike fatalities increased by 8.1% from 2015 to 2016. Even though the benefits of wearing helmets in protecting cyclists against trauma in cycling crash has been determined, the use of helmets is still limited, and there is opposition against mandatory helmet use, particularly for adults. Therefore, exploring perceptions of adult cyclists regarding mandatory helmet use is a key element in understanding cyclists’ behavior, and determining the impact of mandatory helmet use on their cycling rate. The goal of this research is to identify sociodemographic characteristics and cycling behaviors that are associated with the use and non-use of bicycle helmets among adults, and to assess if the enforcement of a bicycle helmet law will result in a change in cycling rates. This research develops hybrid machine learning models to pinpoint the driving factors that explain adult cyclists’ behavior regarding helmet use laws.

Abstract (sommario):

In an effort to understand and decrease alcohol-impaired driving as a primary collision factor In California, the research team designed an evaluation plan for California Senate Bill 1046 and its focus on ignition interlock devices as a sentence for Driving Under Influence offense. This plan will evaluate whether Senate Bill 1046 affected the Driving Under the Influence crash frequency and severity, and whether sociodemographic and geographic factors influence its effectiveness. This report lays the foundation for the evaluation that will be conducted in 2024. The research team conducted a meta-analysis of the last 12 years of literature and research on ignition interlock programs inside and outside the United States. Based on the findings of this analysis, the recommended evaluation plan of the law revolves around three research questions that focus on the changes in the frequency/severity of DUI-related crashes in California, the impact of the law on recidivism and on interlock installation rates. To respond to these questions, the research team recommends a list of data that should be collected, such as the number of injuries and deaths resulting from alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents, installation rates of ignition interlocks compared to the prior five-year period, the number of individuals who were required to have an ignition interlock device installed who were convicted of an alcohol-related violation, as well as number of lockouts while an interlock is installed. The research team proposed several statistical approaches for the analysis of this data, such as descriptive statistics, time series analysis, analysis of variance, and logistic regression.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The survey presented in this report reveals that Nordic citizens are concerned about climate change. Many people are willing to increase efforts to fight climate change, even if this entails a personal contribution in terms of higher taxes or behavioural change. The survey shows that different social groups perceive the impacts of climate change and climate mitigation policies in different ways. In general, attitudes towards climate policies and perceptions regarding their fairness are conditioned by socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, employment status, type of housing and transport behaviour. General attitudes towards climate change and climate policies The first part of this report explores general attitudes towards climate change and climate policies. This section shows that seven in ten (71%) respondents think that climate change is a serious or very serious problem, particularly among the youngest age group (18-29 years). Three in four (74%) interviewed persons in this group share this view. Those with a university degree are more concerned about climate change (83%) than those with primary or secondary education (57% and 62%, respectively). Approximately half (48-51%) of respondents in all age groups agree that more financial resources should be invested in preventing climate change, even if this would imply an increase in taxes. The survey results show that women in the Nordic Region are more concerned about climate change than men (79% compared to 64%). It also reveals that people living in urban areas are more worried about climate change (82%) than those who live in towns and suburbs (68%) or in rural areas (62%). Urban dwellers are also more positive about investing more resources in preventing climate change (59%) than those who live in rural areas (39%) and in towns and suburbs (46%). More than half of the respondents (52%) agree that taking further action on climate change would be beneficial for the economy. Students, unemployed and retired people are more likely to agree with this view (55%, 57% and 55%, respectively) than those currently in employment, including the self-employed (50%). Those employed in carbon-intensive sectors are less positive about the expected economic impact of climate policies than those who work in other economic sectors (41% compared to 55%). They are also more concerned about the risk of job losses during the transition to a low-carbon economy than those employed in sectors with lower carbon intensity (37% compared to 24%). Concerns about this issue are also higher among those who live in rural areas (31%) or towns and suburbs (30%) compared to those who live in cities (22%). Present and future effects of climate change mitigation policies on individuals and households The central part of the survey explores perceptions regarding the present and future impacts of climate policies. Such challenges are perceived differently depending on specific sociodemographic conditions. Nearly one fourth (23%) of respondents state that high energy costs mean they are struggling to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature. Those living in houses report being more impacted (27%) than those living in apartments (18%), and those using fossil fuels to heat their homes are most affected (44%). The risk of energy poverty is also higher among non-EU immigrants to the Nordic Region. Those who say they are struggling to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature range from 23% among Nordic-born citizens to 37% among non-EU immigrants. Nearly three in ten respondents (28%) have modified their transportation behaviour during the last year due to high fuel costs. This proportion is substantially greater among those living in towns and suburbs (32%) compared to those who live in rural areas (29%) or cities (23%). The majority of the Nordic population (52%) states that current climate policies have a neutral effect on their household economies. However, 28% of respondents say they are negatively impacted by climate policies in economic terms. Men report being negatively affected more frequently than women (33% vs 22%, respectively). People who live in houses are more likely to claim they are being negatively impacted than people who live in apartments (31% and 23%, respectively). Nearly half (45%) of the respondents in the Nordic Region agree that climate initiatives will improve health and well-being, and half of the respondents (50%) think that climate change initiatives will lead to more sustainable lifestyles in their area. However, half (51%) of the Nordic population expect to see increases in prices and the cost of living as a consequence of climate policies, and those who believe that climate policies will create jobs and improve working conditions in the areas where they live (31% and 24%, respectively) are outnumbered by those who believe the opposite (35% and 34%, respectively). Fairness of climate policies The last section of the report looks at how the Nordic people perceive the fairness of climate policies in distributional terms. In the survey, the respondents were asked to judge to what extent they agree or disagree that everyone in their country or territory is equally affected by initiatives to fight climate change regardless of personal earnings, gender, age, country of origin and where they live – cities or rural areas. The results show that the Nordic people believe climate change initiatives affect citizens in different ways depending on their demographic, socioeconomic and territorial backgrounds. More than half of the respondents (56%) disagree that everyone is equally affected by initiatives to fight climate change regardless of earnings. Only 22% agree with this statement. Younger age groups are more pessimistic than older age groups on this point (66% in the 18-29 age group compared to 41% in the 65+ group). Almost half of respondents (48%) agree that climate policies are fair from a gender perspective, while 25% disagree with this statement and 23% are neutral. Roughly one in three (30%) respondents in the Nordic Region agree that people are equally affected by climate change initiatives regardless of age, 41% disagree with this statement and 25% are neutral. More than one third (35%) of the Nordic population agree that everyone is equally affected by initiatives to fight climate change regardless of the country of origin, while 34% of them disagree. More than half of respondents (56%) think that the impact of climate initiatives differs between rural and urban areas, while only 22% think that all areas are equally affected. Respondents who live in cities are more likely to respond that climate policy impacts differ between rural and urban areas (60%) than respondents who live in rural areas (55%) and towns and suburbs (53%). One third (33%) of respondents in the survey think that the Sámi population is affected by climate change initiatives to the same extent as the rest of the population. In Greenland, a majority of the population (62%) agrees that the indigenous population in Greenland is equally affected by measures to combat climate change.
