Authors: Van Hoye A , Johnson S , Geidne S , Donaldson A , Rostan F , Lemonnier F , Vuillemin A 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background
Researchers and policymakers have acknowledged sports clubs (SCs) as health promoting settings. Limited research links the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to offer SCs guidance to develop health promotion interventions. As implementation science insists on theoretically grounded interventions, this work's objective was to provide SCs an evidence-driven intervention framework for planning health promotions.

Methods
A 4-step process was undertaken: 1) investigate indicators for SCs to be considered health promoting, 2) adapt the theoretical HPSC concept to create a HPSC model, 3) reformulate published evidence-driven guidelines into implementable intervention components (ICs) and 4) merge the model with the ICs to provide an intervention planning framework for SCs. During 3 workshops, researchers defined the model elements and ICs. Workshop participants classified ICs into the HSPC model. Each IC could be classified multiple times within the model.

Results
Researchers drafted 5 HPSC indicators: 1) an approach embracing all SC actions, 2) involve all SC levels in actions and decisions, 3) involve external partners, 4) promoting health is continuous and iterative and 5) base actions on needs. To create the HPSC model, elements were defined: 3 SC levels (club, management, coaches) and 4 health determinants (organizational, social, environmental, economic) per level based on the indicators. Published guidelines from literature reviews aided in developing 14 strategies with 55 ICs. Workshop classification of ICs into the model included: club (n = 79), management (n = 67) and coaches (n = 48).

Conclusions
The theoretical HPSC model and intervention planning framework act as starting points to develop and implement interventions to increase HP efforts by stakeholders in several ways: 1) SCs can apply strategies based on goals, 2) SCs can target specific levels with corresponding ICs or 3) ICs can target specific health determinants.

Key messages
A Health Promoting Sports Club model defines 4 health determinants at 3 levels (coach, management operational) of sports clubs to plan, develop and implement targeted health promotion activities. This HPSC intervention planning framework has 14 strategies with 55 intervention components targeting multiple sports club levels giving stakeholders a path to become a health promoting sports club.

Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background
Although second-harms alcohol harms, harms caused by the drinking of others, may contribute significantly to the public health burden of alcohol, these harms are an understudied area of public health research. This study aims to examine second-hand alcohol harms in among urban Chinese university students residing on campus who are were previously identified as a high risk group for alcohol misuse.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among hostel residents in two Hong Kong universities (n = 1455) using self-administered, anonymous surveys. We examined the prevalance and the factors associated with second-hand alcohol harms this population using multivariable regression analysis.

Results
Approximately 2/3 of the university residents experienced at least one second-hand drinking harm in the past year while 1/5 experienced 4 or more harms. The harms reported were: 1) inconveniences/disturbances (46.2%), psychological distress/anxiety/depression (32.9%), home arguments (28.3%), conflicts/arguments/insults in public (25.3%), worsened productivity/academics (22.2%), property damage/monetary loss (13.2%), accidents/injury/assault (11.7%) and having to deal with authorities/law enforcement (11.5%). Only 9.1% reported these harms to authorities. Participation in drinking games (OR = 1.44), having drinking roomates (OR = 1.37) or drinking romantic partner (OR = 1.89) were independently associated with likelihood of second-hand alcohol harms (p &lt; 0.05).

Conclusions
Although southern China is a low alcohol consumption region, there is a high prevalence of second-hand alcohol harms among university dorm residents. Universities in the region should rectify the near absence of alcohol-related topics in university health promotion.

Key messages
Harms from the drinking of others is a commonplace but underappreciated phenomenon among university campus residents. University health promotion in the region should include alcohol harms reduction topics.

Authors: Bizzarro A , Rossi D , Faetani L , Ghizzoni D , Martini R , Martini R , Veronesi L , Costantino C , Pasquarella C 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Physical activity is recognised as a major health determinant, with positive effects on health, environmental sustainability and economy. However, worldwide, 1 in 4 adults, and 3 in 4 adolescents do not currently meet the recommendations for physical activity set by the World Health Organization. Notably, the prevalence of inactivity varies considerably within and between countries, and can be as high as 80% in some adult subpopulations. From the urgent need to implement strategies to fight sedentary behaviour, and considering that physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that require energy expenditure, the project “Activate your Wait” was born. The project aim is to transform the waiting pauses during everyday life into opportunities to perform simple stretching and active mobilization exercises. The pilot study was carried out in September 2019 at the Terme S. Egidio, Suio Terme Castelforte (Italy). It was divided in three phases: in the pre-intervention phase a questionnaire evaluated the interest in the project (96 responders); during the intervention phase, lasting three days, examples of simple exercises that people can do by themselves were illustrated and undertaken by about 120 participants; in the post-intervention an evaluation questionnaire was administered (71 responders). The intervention aroused great participation and high approval (97%), and resulted in an increase both in willingness to perform exercises during daily waiting breaks (68% vs 94%) and belief in positive results of physical activity on health (74% vs 96%). In a context where the opportunities for physical activity are decreasing and a sedentary lifestyle has reached a high level, this project represents a contribution to the increase in the awareness of the importance of physical activity and the promotion of the culture of movement in the entire population, with an opportunity of easy accessibility in different contexts of life, at all ages.

Key messages
Physical activity is a major determinant of health, therefore it is fundamental to take all possible opportunities to be active. Waiting pauses are the perfect chance to exercise.

Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background
Although dormitory residents have been identified as a high-risk group for alcohol misuse in Chinese university settings, the factors associated with their drinking behaviors has not be characterized.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among hostel residents in two Hong Kong universities (n = 1455) using self-administered, anonymous surveys. In addition to examining the knowledge levels and drinking-related attitudes, we examined the factors associated with binge drinking in this population using multivariable regression analysis.

Results
Among university dormitory residents, the prevalence of past-month binge drinking was 26.8% among males and 12.8% among females. It was noted that although respondents demonstrated attitudes conducive towards alcohol-free socialization, they exhibited low levels of alcohol-related knowledge (mean knowledge score: 3.3/ 10, SD = 2.0). While about 59% were aware that alcohol is a carcinogen and that some medications should not be taken with alcohol, only 10.4% were familiar with symptoms of alcohol poisoning and only 23% were familiar with relative amounts of alcohol in different beverage categories. Of the respondents the factors independently associated with past-month binge drinking were: male sex, older age, full-time hostel residence, drinking roommates, drinking romantic partner, participation in drinking games, and having pro-alcohol attitudes (OR ranging from 1.33-3.69). Alcohol-related knowledge was not associated with binge drinking.

Conclusions
Although southern China is a low alcohol consumption area, binge drinking is common among university residents and requires multi-prong interventions. Heavy drinking is a neglected health problem among urban Chinese university students. Interventions targeting binge drinkers need to counteract pro-alcohol attitudes and peer effects. Increasing alcohol knowledge may additionally help to reduce alcohol-related harms in this age group.

Key messages
Urban Chinese university dormitory residents demonstrate low levels of alcohol knowledge. Pro-alcohol attitudes and peers effects need to be addressed in university anti-binge drinking interventions.
Impact of health promotion in Lithuanian pupils smoking, alcohol and drug use
Authors: Maceinaitė R , Šurkienė G , Sketerskienė R 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background
Health Promotion Schools (HPS) are engaged in targeted pupil's health promotion activities in accordance with the approved programs. Health promotion topics are integrated not only into subject lessons but also into extracurricular activities. HPS is believed to provide ideal conditions for the prevention of harmful habits, but there is a lack of research into the effectiveness of these schools. This determined the aim of the research - to evaluate the influence of HPS learning on smoking, alcohol and drug use among Lithuanian adolescents.

Methods
During the prevalence research 3574 ninth and tenth grade pupils from 44 HPS were surveyed, as well as 66 schools outside the HPS network (response rate 74.7%). The contribution of individual characteristics (class, sex, place of residence, grade point average, mother's and father's education) and school characteristics (school affiliation, school type, school location) were analysed using logistic regression models with 95% of CI.

Results
18.1% of pupils smoke regularly. Learning at HPS did not reduce the odds of smoking (OR = 1.08 (95% CI: 0.88; 1.31)), but pupils smoking was significantly associated with gender, class, school type, grade point average and school location. The majority of pupils (74.4%) have tasted alcoholic beverages. HPS pupils had significantly lower odds of tasting alcoholic beverages (OR = 0.77 (95% CI: 0.51;0.98)). Alcoholic tasting was also significantly linked to class and father's education. 9.3% of pupils tried to use drugs. Pupils from schools outside the HPS network had a 1.38 (95% CI: 1.05;1.80) odds of using drugs. Drug use was significantly associated with gender, class, place of residence, type of school, and grade point average.

Conclusions
HPS learning significantly reduces pupils alcohol tasting and drug use but is not significantly associated with lower smoking. Individual and school characteristics have a significant impact on pupils smoking, alcohol, and drug use.

Key messages
HPS pupils have a lower chance of tasting alcohol and drug abuse, so it is important to encourage schools to join the HPS network to reduce the incidence of harmful habits. It is important to consider individual and school characteristics that have a significant impact on pupils smoking, alcohol and drug use when designing prevention measures.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
The phase angle (AF) obtained by electrical bioimpedance (BIE) analyzes the muscle composition by establishing the amount of water and electrolytes as indicators of cell size, number, and integrity, as essential body composition axes to determine training objectives and states of Health.

Objective
To determine the relationship between AF and maximum force (FM) and explosive (FME) in soccer players from Bogotá-Colombia.

Methods
Cross-sectional study of correlational scope. 86 players were selected (age: 18.67 ± 2.9 years; height: 1.73 ± 0.070 m; weight: 66.58 ± 9.94 kg) team members: Fortaleza, Tigres, Juventus, and Dinhos. The following were evaluated: body composition using InBody® 770; FM using T-Force® and FME (SJ) with optogait®.

Results
AF 6,46 ±0,58, FM in squats 614,4N ±262,28, maximum squat power 326,34W ±182,16 and maximum jump power SJ 649,7W ±117. There was a statistically significant relationship between musculoskeletal mass (0.598 p = 0.000),% body fat mass (-0.458 p = 0.000), peak FM (0.639 p = 0.000), maximum peak power (0.569 p = 0.000), maximum jump power (-0.636 p = 0.000) and AF. AF is associated with variables of body composition and muscle strength, making it an instrument that could help predict physiological behavior in soccer players and the general population. It shows correlations and markers applicable to sports and clinical diagnosis that will allow generating health promotion programs.

Key messages
The AF is constituted as an easily accessible marker for nutritional health and functional profile in athletes. AF is associated with variables of body composition and muscle strength, making it an instrument that could help predict physiological behavior in soccer players and the general population.

Abstract

Objective
To evaluate the benefit in terms of self-esteem, quality of life (QoL) and health perception, in a physical activity (FA) prescription intervention from Primary Care, after three months.

Methods
Quasi-experimental study before (T0) -after (T1) without a control group, for the evaluation of the pilot phase of the CAS program, implemented (December 2017-May 2018) in 5 primary health centers in Valencia. The questionnaire (T0) was completed with social information, self-esteem (Rosemberg), and QoL (Euroqol-5D, including health perception (HP)). The FA was prescribed with specific hours and days and the participation was monitorized. Three months after starting the FA, the participants completed the same cuestionaire (T1). An descriptive analysis was made, by intention to treat, T0 n = 82 and T1 n = 78, and the scales were compared before and after, using the Wilcoxon Test for related samples.

Results
The FA prescription was offered to 185 people, acceptance n = 82 (44.3%) and there were 14 dropouts, adherence (83%). The sample at T0 n = 82, people who completed the 3 months, n = 68, and n = 10 people who droppout but answered the questionnaire, (4 not be located them), total analysis T1 n = 78. There were a significant improvement in the QoL (26,5% p ≤ 0.002), the HP (16% p ≤ 0.000) and self-esteem (4,7%p ≤ 0.000) in women when comparing the median of the referred score before and after the intervention. Qol improved more in the low educational level (26.55% p &lt; 0.001), while the perception of health (16% p &lt; 0.000), and self-esteem (9.3% p &lt; 0.038) improved more in the high educational level.

Discussion
The prescription of FA has an important benefit in improving health with only 3 months of prescription. It also has a greater positive benefit in women and in the population of low educational level, who are those who perform less FA. This study helps build evidence of the positive impact on the health of the social prescription from primary care.

Key messages
After 3 months of the physical activity prescription the QoL and self-steem improved mainly in women and low educated people. The acceptance to participate was 50% but the adherence was more than 80%.
Empowering Tunisians Youth to seasonal influenza: Auto medication versus empathy
Authors: Maaoui F , Moumni I 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background and aim
In Tunisia, self-medication against seasonal influenza is a public health problem that mainly affects low- and middle-income social categories. For implementation of an educational intervention, this study will assess young Tunisians' literacy towards Seasonal Influenza. Health education, socio-demographic (gender and intersectionality) and media variables will be explored.

Methods
This is a cross-sectional study, which included Tunisian students from different educational levels and residents in different regions of the country.

Results
The results show that the risk perception and level literacy depend on gender, geographical proximity, media coverage and didactic choices. The fears of male students in preparatory or secondary school focus significantly more than for female school students around seasonal Influenza, respectively (21.5% vs. 10%, p &lt; 0.05) and (25.7% vs 7.4%, p &lt; 0.05). Among the behaviors purposed to students, to protect themselves from infectious diseases, the consumption of antibiotics! ranks second before personal hygiene (hand washing), vaccination and avoidance measures. In general, 'avoid public places' and 'avoid taking public transport' are behaviors that seem little or not adopted in case of influenza whatever the school level or the study specialty of youths. Questions were asked, moreover, on 'the acceptability of the mask wearing in family and in the public space'. Only 14% preparatory school students and 11% of secondary school students would 'totally' agree to wear it at home and away from home.

Conclusions
Considering the literacy level of young Tunisians towards the seasonal influenza, pandemic and MDR risks remains high. Innovative educational interventions, which combining epidemiological and ecological knowledge (social, economic, scientific, epidemiological and individual contexts), would be better adapted to new and emerging health issues and could reduce social inequalities in health.

Key messages
Social qualification in the face of infectious diseases. Development of capacities to perceive and manage seasonal Influenza.
“VešKajPiješ?” (You know what you drink?) - mobile app for reducing alcohol related harm in Slovenia
Authors: Rados Krnel S , Kusar A , Pravst I , Blazica B 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers, provides that the labelling of ingredients and nutritional declaration is not mandatory for alcoholic beverages with more than 1.2% alcohol by volume. Consequently, consumers generally do not have access to similar information on alcoholic beverages as they do for food and non-alcoholic beverages.
In Slovenia, drinking alcohol is a serious public health problem, both among adolescents and adults. Per capita consumption of pure alcohol in Slovenia is above the EU average. In order to achieve better results and reduce alcohol related harm, we need a comprehensive alcohol policy that incorporates proven effective measures in different areas of action.
In 2019, in the frame of Slovenian programme “VesKajJes” (Know what you eat) supported by MoH, a mobile application was developed that enables consumers to scan EAN code for gaining the nutrition profile of selected food item. An analysis of the behaviour of mobile app users revealed that alcoholic beverages are one of the most frequently sought products; of all searches, as many as 36% of users wanted to get information about alcohol beverages. This was a major reason for upgrading the mobile application with information about alcoholic beverages. Additionally this newly developed communication channel will be used for raising awareness about alcohol-related harm.
Mobile application “VešKajPiješ?” (You know what you drink?) will be developed within which we will: (1) collect information on at least 1,500 alcoholic beverages; (2) develop the protocol for a reliable assessment of the energy values depending of the type of alcoholic beverages; (3) prepare short health messages to raise awareness about the effects of hazardous and harmful alcohol use; (4) develop an application upgrade to show the alcohol content, energy value of alcoholic beverages, health messages and a link to a screening tool for assessing the alcohol consumption (AUDIT).

Key messages
There is a growing support for mandatory labelling of alcohol-containing beverages including health warnings. The program presents a solution consisting of a mobile app for consumers seeking information.
Workplace nutrition habits in Slovenian small and middle sized enterprises
Authors: Percic S , Stubelj M 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background
Premature death, chronic diseases, productivity loss and other social and economic concerns can be influenced by healthy lifestyle workplace promotion programs, including healthy nutrition habits. In Slovenia a project called &gt;&gt;STAR-VITAL-healthy ageing at workplace &lt;&lt; has been going on since September 2017.

Methods
The survey results are based on an analysis of 805 respondents from 20 different small and middle sized enterprises in Slovenia. The survey was carried out via both a paper questionnaire and an online survey during the period from June 2019 to February 2020. The screening questionnaire was completed before interventions. We estimated the average score for the eight questions concerning nutritional habits.

Results
Nutritional habits are the following: 62% respondents eat three or more meals a day, 64% respondents eat vegetables each day, 59,8% respondents eat fruits each day, 31,9% respondents eat fish or see fruits at least once a week, 45,7% respondents eat whole wheats at least once a week, 54,1% respondents eat red meat not more than twice a week, 62,1% respondents eat fried food not more than three times a month and 79,1% respondents drink sweet drinks less than three times a week. The results on question &gt;&gt;What is the most common form of meal you eat while at work? &lt;&lt; are the following: purchase meal at restaurant 45,3%, bring from home 32,7%, delivery/carry out 6,2%, do not eat 5,2%, other 4,7%, employer cafeteria 3,9% and vending machine 1,2%.

Conclusions
The results of our survey show that a significant percentage of the workers in Slovenia still has unhealthy nutritional habits. Assessment of nutritional habits before workplace promotion program interventions allow us to compare which combinations of interventions are the most effective. The results will indicate the strength and weakness of each intervention and how it could be improved.

Key messages
The population is growing old and chronic diseases increases, which is part of the bad nutritional habits. Healthy lifestile promotion is needed to improve quality of life. The workplace health promoting programs have been shown to be an efficient way of improving workerś health. Implementing promotional program of nutritional habits are proper for Slvenian enterprises.
