Socio-ecological factors that influence youth vaping: perspectives from Western Australian school professionals, parents and young people
CONCLUSIONS: The pervasiveness of the e-cigarette trade and persistent challenges related to surveillance and enforcement need to be addressed to reduce exposure and access to e-cigarettes. A mixture of "hard" and "soft" public policy tools involving key stakeholders in a range of settings is needed to prevent e-cigarette access and uptake by young people.PMID:38416991 | PMC:PMC10903751 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2322753 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong belief that the N-of-1 approach has the potential to play a prominent role in transitioning the current healthcare system towards embracing personalized medicine. However, there are many barriers deeply ingrained in our healthcare system that hamper the uptake of the N-of-1 approach, making it momentarily only interesting for research purposes.PMID:38417032 | PMC:PMC10903748 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2318810 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

"What about me?": lived experiences of siblings living with a brother or sister with a life-threatening or life-limiting condition
CONCLUSION: The study revealed that siblings' own needs compete with the needs of the ill child, resulting in the risk of siblings taking a step back rather than expressing what they might actually need themselves. These findings can inform healthcare professionals on the importance of educating and supporting parents and the surrounding community close to the sibling, for example, by helping schoolteachers understand how to meet siblings' needs.PMID:38404038 | PMC:PMC10898268 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2321645 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)
