Self-regulation of the Peruvian food industry: health message cues in the context of food and beverage advertisements
One strategy to prevent the onset of non-communicable diseases is to motivate healthy lifestyles through health media messages. In Peru, the food industry is currently implementing such strategy with health message cues, in the form of a small icon of a walking person or a healthy dish, appearing on televised food and beverage advertisements. Yet the extent of this practice is unknown. Thus, the objective of this study was three-fold: to identify (1) the food and beverage advertisements showing health cues, (2) the types of health cues, and (3) their length in time.

Vaccination status and needs of asylum-seeking children in Denmark: a retrospective data analysis
Asylum seekers to Europe may come from war-torn countries where health systems have broken down, and there is evidence that asylum-seeking children have low coverage of childhood vaccinations, as well as uptake of immunisations in host countries. Such gaps in immunisation have important implications for effective national vaccination programmes. How we approach vaccination in children and adults entering Western Europe, where as a group they face barriers to health services and screening, is a growing debate; however, there are limited data on the vaccination status of these hard-to-reach communities, and robust evidence i...

Migration and its influence on the knowledge and usage of birth control methods among Afghan women who stay behind
The objective of this article is to investigate the link between migration and knowledge and use of birth control methods among female household members (of migrants) who stay behind in Afghanistan. Migrants can remit birth control information received in the destination country to non-migrants staying in the origin country, who may as a consequence adjust their health behaviour accordingly. The consequences of this interaction for knowledge and use are what we aim to test. (Source: Public Health)

Re: Letter to the editor of public health in response to ‘Access to treatment with controlled medicines rationale and recommendations for neutral, respectful, and precise language’
We thank Mr Barret for his comments. As a scholar in law sciences, he is much better equipped for describing legal theory than we are, being trained in medical, pharmaceutical and public administration sciences. Indeed, without further discussing that some crimes may be universally rooted in cultures and societies or may be ‘natural law’, we agree with Mr Barrett that controlled substances law regulates crimes which are certainly not such crimes ‘malum in se’ and thus, they must be crimes ‘malum prohibitum’.

‘Her cry is my cry’: resettlement experiences of refugee women at risk recently resettled in Australia
Refugee women entering resettlement countries on woman-at-risk visas represent a particularly vulnerable population. While their specific gender-based resettlement will likely differ from the general refugee population, little is known about their experiences of early resettlement, with which to inform resettlement policy and practice. This research aimed to explore lived experiences of recently resettled refugee women at risk in Australia. (Source: Public Health)
