IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 215: A Critical Overview of the Construct of Supportive Care Need in the Cancer Literature: Definitions, Measures, Interventions and Future Directions for Research
Leombruni The growing amount of evidence about the role of supportive care in enhancing cancer patients’ outcomes has made healthcare providers more sensitive to the need for support that they experience during cancer’s trajectory. However, the lack of a consensus in the definition of supportive care and lack of uniformity in the theoretical paradigm and measurement tools for unmet needs does not allow for defined guidelines for evidence-based best practices that are universally accepted. Contemporary cancer literature confirms that patients continue to report high levels of unmet supportive...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 216: SARS-CoV-2 and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergencies at the T & uuml;bingen University Hospital: Analyzing Trends, Diagnoses, and Contributing Factors
In this study, we investigated the extent to which the number of psychiatric emergencies changed during and in the aftermath of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) Tübingen. We considered age and psychiatric diagnoses. Additionally, we evaluated the backgrounds of the emergencies. We applied a mixed- (quantitative and qualitative) methods approach to data on emergency presentations at the CAP Tübingen from the pre-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period (October 2019–January 2020) to Restriction Phase 1 (October 2020–January 2021), Restriction Phase ...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 213: Equity in Cancer and Chronic Disease Prevention through a Multi-Pronged Network Intervention: Works-in-Progress
In this study, we tested whether improving personal health literacy (i.e., confidence in seeking information) and enabling successful information transfer (i.e., intention to share the specific information learned through the program) among community residents could contribute to greater diffusion intention (i.e., number of network members with whom residents plan to share information and resources). The current study used post-intervention surveys, which were administered to Chicago residents who were 18 years or older and had participated in the program. Among the 1499 diverse Chicago residents, improved personal health ...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 212: Modeling of Human Rabies Cases in Brazil in Different Future Global Warming Scenarios
In this study, we applied an ensemble niche modeling approach to project climatic suitability under different future global warming scenarios for human rabies cases in Brazil, and assessed the impact on the probability of emergence of new cases. We obtained notification records of human rabies cases in all Brazilian cities from January 2001 to August 2023, as reported by the State and Municipal Health Departments. The current and future climate data were sourced from a digital repository on the WorldClim website. The future bioclimatic variables provided were downscaled climate projections from CMIP6 (a global model ensemb...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 207: The Association between Message Framing and Intention to Vaccinate Predictive of Hepatitis A Vaccine Uptake
This study examines whether message framing changes the intention to vaccinate against HAV and self-reported vaccine behavior. Using a randomized controlled trial (N = 472) in February 2019 via Amazon Mechanical Turk, participants were randomized to one of four HAV vaccination message groups or a no-message control group. The message groups varied in their emphasis on the nature of outcomes (gain versus loss) and for whom (individual versus collective). The message frames were compared by intention to vaccinate, differences in message characteristics, and behavioral determinants. There was no difference in intention to vac...
