Motor vehicle crashes have been identified as one of the leading causes of death, injury and disability among young children, less than 5 years, in Qatar. Previous studies on the effectiveness of a child restraint have shown that if child occupants are properly restrained, the fatality risk is reduced by 28% and serious injury by 82%. The objective of this survey is to examine knowledge, attitudes and usage of CRS in a sample of parents with young children in Doha, Qatar. It has been predicted that by the year 2020, RTIs will be the third major cause of disability and hence is an alarming public health problem currently prevailing. A custom designed survey, containing 25 questions that tested CRS knowledge, attitudes and practice of participants, was applied by trained health communicators in 3 Well Baby Clinics of the Primary Health Care Corporation. The survey collected information from 602 parents on: method of child transport, use of CRS, knowledge of CRS, and demographic characteristics. The results showed that only 43% used a CRS for their children and only 53% had a car seat. The most common reasons for not using a safety seat included children crying when in CRS (56%) and a preference to hold the child (18.1%). Moreover, nearly all [94%] reported never witnessing enforcement of child passenger laws prohibiting children from riding in the front, concomitantly only 9% stated that a law requiring CRS use would make them use one for their children. Less than half of young children, in this study population, were benefitting from safety provided by CRS. There is a need to develop awareness programs that educate caregivers on the benefits and proper use of CRS. Other priority areas for intervention include the consistent enforcement of laws banning children in the front seat.

Consanguineous marriages have been practiced since the early existence of modern humans. Until now consanguinity is widely practiced in several global communities with variable rates depending on religion, culture, and geography. Arab populations have a long tradition of consanguinity due to socio cultural factors. Many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world, and specifically first cousin marriages which may reach 25-30% of all marriages. In some countries like Qatar, Yemen, and UAE, consanguinity rates are increasing in the current generation. Research among Arabs and worldwide has indicated that consanguinity could have an effect on some reproductive health parameters such as postnatal mortality and rates of congenital malformations. The association of consanguinity with other reproductive health parameters, such as fertility and fetal wastage, is controversial. The main impact of consanguinity, however, is an increase in the rate of homozygotes for autosomal recessive genetic disorders.…

Abstract Rising disease prevalence early during the COVID-19 pandemic in the State of Qatar led to stoppage of all non-emergency health care services. To maintain continuity of care and information exchanges for non-emergency patients, a physician-operated telephone hotline was set up that involved triage followed by immediate consultation with a specialized physician. We describe the initiation and evaluate the operations of the Urgent Consultation Centre (UCC) hotline manned by 150 physicians and aimed at urgent non-life-threatening consultations at Hamad Medical Corporation, the public health provider in Qatar. UCC established a hotline to triage inbound patient calls related to 15 medical and surgical specialties. For calls between April-August 2020, we describe call volume, distribution by specialty, outcomes, performance of UCC team, as well as demographics of callers. During the study period, UCC received 60229 calls (average 394 calls/day) from Qatari nationals (38%) and expatriates (62%). Maximum total daily calls peaked at 1670 calls on June 14, 2020. Call volumes were the highest from 9 AM to 2 PM. Response rate varied from 89% to 100%. After an initial telephone triage, calls were most often related to and thus directed to internal medicine (24.61%) and geriatrics (11.97%), while the least percentage of calls were for pain management and oncology/hematology (around 2% for each). By outcome of consultation, repeat prescriptions were provided for 60% of calls, new prescriptions (15%), while referrals were to outpatient department (17%), emergency department/pediatric emergency center (5%), and primary health care centres (3%). We conclude that during a pandemic, physician-staffed telephone hotline is feasible and can be employed in innovative ways to conserve medical resources, maintain continuity of care, and serve patients requiring urgent care.

One of the key objectives of the surveillance of communicable disease (CDs) is the identification of areas for research and healthcare system improvement. In a recent paper published in Qatar Medical Journal (http://dx.doi.org/10.5339/qmj.2014.9) is shown the delay in diagnosis of CDs of cases reported at The Cuban Hospital (TCH) during 2012 and 2013. Examples of delay in diagnosis was for tuberculosis 61.7 days, acute hepatitis 18.5 days, typhoid fever 17 days, food poisoning 9.5 days, measles 8.0 days and meningitis 3.8 days. These are diseases that require immediate reporting because of their public health importance and some of them are highly transmissible (e.g. tuberculosis and measles). Additional evaluation of patients with tuberculosis admitted at The Cuban Hospital (many reported in Hamad General Hospital and referred to TCH because of bed crisis) from January 2013 to June 2014 (105 patients) show diagnosis delay of 49.5 days (standard deviation 51.9 years) with a maximum figure of 365 days. In patients with positive smear (highly infectious) the delay was 49.7 days (SD 53.5 days) (minimum 2 days, maximum 365 days). The delay was superior in cases with pulmonary tuberculosis (51.3 days (SD 52 days)) than in non pulmonary (36.1 days (SD 51.9 days). Delay in diagnosis of CDs is significant with regard to not only disease prognosis at the individual level but also transmission within the community. The delay could be divided in ¨patient delay and system delay¨. Patient delay refers to the time between onset of symptom and the first contact with a healthcare professional. The system delay refers to the time between this first contact to the diagnosis or confirmation of the disease. The knowledge of the two components of the delay is essential to identify actions to minimize the delay and reduce the probability of disease transmission at the community. In summary data from the surveillance of CDs suggest the need of research to identify the causes of diagnostic delay and subsequently implement actions its reduction, which will contribute to the prevention and control of CDs in Qatar.

Abstract Background : Violence is a global public health problem leading to injuries, long-term physical, sexual or mental health problems and mortality. The burden of violence-related injuries remains understudied in the Arabian Gulf region. The present study aimed to describe the epidemiology of hospitalized violence-related injuries in Qatar. Methods : A retrospective analysis of trauma registry data from a level 1 trauma center was conducted by including all patients admitted to the hospital for violence-related injuries between June 2010 and June 2017. We analyzed and compared the hospitalized interpersonal and self-inflicted violence groups. Results : The hospitalization rate of violence-related injuries was 4.6 per 100,000 population per year; it was significantly higher in males (5.5/100,000 males/year vs. 1.8/100,000 females/year) and in younger populations, specifically in the 25-34 years age-group (41%). South Asians constituted 55% of the affected study population. Interpersonal violence (76.7%) was the most common mechanism of injury. Significant differences between interpersonal and self-inflicted violence were evident, especially for the type of trauma (i.e. blunt or penetrating), injured body regions, alcohol use, injury severity, need for intubation and psychiatric referral (p<0.05). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 6.4%; with a significantly higher rate in females (16% vs.5%, p=0.001). Outcomes, including length of hospital stay and mortality, were comparable in the two types of violence. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender and alcohol use were predictors for interpersonal violence whereas a high Injury Severity Score and a low Glasgow Coma Scale were predictors of hospital mortality. Conclusions : The rate of hospitalization for violence-related injuries in Qatar is low; however, its burden on the trauma system is of concern. Although it comprised only 9.6% of the study population, females are more likely to get hospitalized following self-inflicted injuries when compared to interpersonal violence. Disproportionate burden of violence in the South Asians and young population warrants an evidence-based public health approach in violence prevention to well address the risk factors.

Introduction Dissatisfaction with health care performance is an important source of information about health care reforms as perceived by the public as it is associated with negative beliefs about health system. Previous studies have shown that dissatisfaction with health care has a long-term negative impact on the health care users' relationship with healthcare providers, health related behaviors, and health outcomes. In addition, a recent study conducted in Qatar, showed that approximately 24% of the studied population who used health care in the past 12 months prior to the study were dissatisfied with health care services provided in the country. Given that dissatisfaction with care can negatively impact on help-seeking behaviors, this finding could have grave public health implications. This has been witnessed in the context of high prevalence of chronic health conditions in Qatar where long-term relations with healthcare professionals are necessary for better chronic disease management, reduced disease-related complications, and mortality. This study aims to identify the sources of dissatisfaction with medical care among adults, Qataris and white collar migrants aged eighteen years or older. Methods This study is based on secondary data from a larger national survey, which was conducted during the fall of 2012 for the purpose of collecting household-based information on health services utilization and health-related expenditures. Disproportionate stratified probability sampling was employed to select a representative sample of households. A final sample of 3,080 completed face-to-face interviews (1,528 Qataris and 1,552 White Collar Migrants) using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) method for a raw response rate of 78.1%. The sample included individuals who may or may not have used Qatar's health care system during the 12 months prior to survey administration. Respondents were asked to discuss the reasons for their discontent with healthcare services in Qatar by selecting pre-coded categories of dissatisfaction including: Waiting time to see the provider, language used to communicate, clarity of how things are explained to the patient, poor services provided (such as cleanliness, reception, respect, and parking), inability to choose provider or doctor, high costs and other reasons to be specified by respondents. A total of 711 open-ended responses to the “Other” category were translated, coded and analyzed qualitatively. “Crowdedness”, “staff and physicians' incompetence”, “medical errors”, “discrimination”, “disrespect”, and “lack of staff and services” are all themes that emerged as reasons for dissatisfaction. Analysis Arabic responses were translated into English and researchers discussed any dissimilar results until an agreement was reached on all translated responses. Upon reviewing the responses, themes, which were different from the pre-specified answer choices of the questionnaire, emerged. The researchers then coded the responses by assigning codes to each response, then compared against each other. Coding discrepancy was discussed until an agreement was reached. The codes of the open-ended responses were later merged with those of the pre-specified categories and the corresponding frequency for each coding category was calculated using STATA. The Alberta Quality Matrix for Health was used to guide the analysis of the themes based on the six dimensions of health system quality. Results The analysis of the open-ended responses that probed into reasons for respondents' dissatisfaction revealed thirteen categories of dissatisfaction that were related to four different dimensions of quality of healthcare, based on the Alberta Quality Matrix for Health. The most common dimension of dissatisfaction with health care in Qatar was accessibility, which refers to the provision of health service in the most optimum setting and within “reasonable time and distance”. Safety was the second most common dimension reported by the respondents. This construct relates to minimizing any threats that could cause harm. Acceptability, such as the provision of respectful and patient-centered health services was the third dimension identified, followed by efficiency, which is mainly related to the optimal use of resources, to achieve the best desired health outcomes. Conclusion Identifying the roots of dissatisfaction with health care services among distinct social groups can be achieved by analyzing responses to simple open-ended questions in routinely administered population health surveys. This is important for monitoring the quality of care in heterogeneous population contexts as well as engaging the public in the process of developing a world-class health care system as per Qatar's national vision of 2030. This research highlights priority needs to be addressed by the Qatari government in order to increase health care satisfaction as part of the quest for better health care in the country.

Abstract This chapter analyses Qatar’s dramatic nutrition transition, which has led to an increase in the prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among the different sectors of society. With Qatar’s economic boom, food imports increased and now account for more than 90 per cent of national food consumption. This dependence on imported food can be attributed both to the rising population due to immigration, and to the move from traditional diets to more Westernised meals. Unhealthy, high caloric fast-food is increasingly eaten, as urbanisation from a typically rural or nomadic lifestyle takes place. In order to address this public health crisis through focused policy efforts, ‘Qatar Vision 2030’ was developed as a national strategy for increasing public exercise and modifying diets.

The rapid spread of the coronavirus has left national economies, educational systems, medical sectors, and social spheres struggling with a new reality. This reality has led to a crisis in multilingual communication, especially in the public health sector. This study describes the communication approaches that took place among a diverse nurse workforce and diverse patient groups during the COVID-19 pandemic in Qatar, which is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Specifically, through Q-methodology, this study examines the communication strategies employed by nurses to communicate with South and Southeast Asian patients, who are largely blue-collar migrant workers and constitute 63.2% of Qatar’s population. The results indicate that patients were given voices, not through their native languages, but rather through different means that included a form of pidgin Arabic, gestures and visual methods, and repetition, mainly in English.

Abstract Background : Violence is a global public health problem leading to injuries, long-term physical, sexual or mental health problems and even mortality. The burden of violence-related injuries on hospital systems remains understudied in the Arabian Gulf region. The present study aimed to describe the epidemiology of hospitalized violence-related injuries in Qatar. Methods : A retrospective analysis of trauma registry data from a level 1 trauma center was conducted to retrieve data related to all patients admitted to the hospital for violence-related injuries between June 2010 and June 2017. Analyzed data was used to compare the hospitalized interpersonal and self-inflicted violence groups. Results : The hospitalization rate of violence-related injuries was 4.6 per 100,000 population per year; it was significantly higher in males (5.5/100,000 males/year vs. 1.8/100,000 females/year) and in younger populations, specifically in the 25-34 years age-group (41%). South Asians constituted 55% of the affected study population. Interpersonal violence (76.7%) was the most common mechanism of injury. Significant differences between interpersonal and self-inflicted violence were evident, especially for the type of trauma (i.e. blunt or penetrating), injured body regions, alcohol use, injury severity, need for intubation and psychiatric referral (p<0.05). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 6.4%; with a significantly higher rate in females (16% vs.5%, p=0.001). Outcomes, including length of hospital stay and mortality, were comparable in the two study groups. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender and alcohol use were predictors for interpersonal violence whereas a high Injury Severity Score and a low Glasgow Coma Scale were predictors of hospital mortality. Conclusions : The rate of hospitalization for violence-related injuries in Qatar is low; however, its burden on the trauma system is of concern. Although it comprised only 9.6% of the study population, females are more likely to get hospitalized following self-inflicted injuries when compared to interpersonal violence. The disproportionate burden of violence among South Asian and young populations warrants an evidence-based public health approach to best address the risk factors and set appropriate prevention programs.

Upper respiratory tract infections (URI) are very com-mon in general practice. Although viruses cause the ma-jority of URI, many patients expect antibiotic treatment. At one Primary Health Care Center in Qatar; during October - November 2004, eleven hundred and eleven adult patients completed a short questionnaire on demographics, knowl-edge, attitudes, practices towards URI, and patient satis-faction. Four hundred and forty eight (40.3%) recognized viruses as the most common cause of URI; seven hundred and eighty-eight (70.9%) chose consulting a physician as the first line of action when contracting URI; 721 (64.9%) stated that management should be based on physician's diagnosis while 28% expected antibiotics. A majority of participants acknowledged the importance of counseling in their satisfaction but 49.6% reported dissatisfaction if antibiotics were not prescribed and 31.6% reported seek-ing antibiotics when not prescribed. Participants expect-ing antibiotics differed significantly regarding knowledge of causes of URI (p = 0.004). There was no significant dif-ference regarding factors affecting satisfaction based on antibiotic expectation. Results highlight the need for public education and counseling on etiology, course, and management of URI by physicians.

Noor Suleiman1, Dabia Al Mohannadi1, Majed Lababidi2, Abdulla Al Misnad2, Mohammed Bashir1, Luis Luque3, Abdul Badi Abou-Samra1 Keywords: diabetes, mobile technology, internet, eHealth, smartphone, chronic condition Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by an elevated level of blood glucose and carries the risk of acute and chronic complications resulting in significant healthcare burden. DM has a high prevalence across many nations especially within the Middle East. In Qatar, DM prevalence in the adult population is approximately 16.7%. DM management is a well-known complex process that requires both lifestyle changes and effective pharmacologic treatment plans. To avoid DM complications, effective behavioral change, extensive education and promotion of appropriate self-management are key. Self-management tools are developing fast. Data recording of blood glucose and lifestyle changes have progressed from writing them on paper, to uploading them to computers, to recording them on mobile phones using traditional phone functions, and finally to using smartphone apps. Mobile health is becoming one of the fastest growing areas of effective healthcare delivery in many countries with health education and awareness programs being increasingly recognized as the key players. The surge of mobile healthcare (m-Health) in the last few years is due to the massive demand of such systems to alleviate and provide more efficient and effective healthcare delivery mechanisms especially for chronic disease management and self-care. Diabetes mobile technology is an emerging and rapidly expanding field that seeks to combine cutting edge behavioral insights with best practice in diabetes self-management education to improve patient empowerment and deliver better patient outcomes. However, there is a lack of research on the use of mobile technology to support diabetes self-management in the Arab world. The question that arises is whether or not, diabetes mobile applications are effective in improving glycemic control, clinical outcomes, quality of life and overall patient satisfaction, in diabetic patients in Qatar. We have the hypothesis that with utilization of the mobile application, patients will have improved diabetes knowledge, patient satisfaction and empowerment; glycemic control and diabetes outcomes; together with improved patient-educator/doctor interaction Qualitative research methods such as focus groups and interviews have been conducted among dozens of patients and health care professionals to identify strategies to design a patient-centered mobile application for diabetes, named droobi health. The main purpose of this application is to enhance patient care and improve clinical outcomes of diabetic patients through an active engagement with patients. Patients will have access to tools to monitor, manage and control their diabetes, enabling communication between patients and care providers while providing access to up-to-date diabetes educational materials. droobi health will provide a single source of patient self-management and lifestyle information for better collaboration between patient and care providers to positively interact and engage with the patient and personalize educational material when it is required. This app has the home-advantage of being created in Qatar for our particular patient population, taking into account the cultural adaptation and context, which is missing in the existing apps. We have completed the design based on feedback from healthcare providers and patients. Droobi provides a platform where the patient and his or her clinical care team can interact in order to address the patient's concerns in a timely manner. Additionally, Droobi aims to empower the patient towards implementing self-management together with providing robust education and training for the patients towards their disease resulting in increased knowledge and awareness. The feasibility of Droobi will be conducted in a small pilot, with its effectiveness later examined in a clinical trial. Hamad Medical Corporation Trio InvestmentsQatar Computing Research Institute

Background Maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy is essential. With the increasing availability of the internet, pregnant women have access to a wealth of information related to physical activity (PA) and healthy diets. Objectives The study aims to investigate the extent of internet usage by pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Qatar to obtain information about PA and healthy diets, identify associated factors, and evaluate the impact of this information on their lifestyle habits. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in six randomly selected public antenatal clinics in Qatar. Pregnant women aged ≥18 years in any trimester were recruited using a probability sampling technique. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive and analytic statistics were employed for data analysis. Results A total of 327 pregnant women (mean age of 29.5 years ± 4.0) completed and returned the questionnaire (response rate: 87.5%). Among the participants, 54.5% used the internet to obtain information about PA, while 72% sought online diet-related information. Factors such as age (26–35 years), tertiary education, employment status, and being primigravidae were associated with a higher likelihood of using the internet for healthy lifestyles information. Participants who reported using the internet for PA information a great deal were more likely to increase their PA during pregnancy compared to those who used it somewhat or very little (57.6, 26.8, and 5.0%, p &lt; 0.001; respectively). Similarly, those who used the internet for diet information a great deal were more likely to increase their fruit and vegetable consumption compared to those who used it somewhat, or very little (84.2, 68.5, and 63.6%, p = 0.038; respectively). Also, participants who used the internet for diet information a great deal were more likely to decrease the amount of sugary and fatty foods they ate compared to women who used the internet somewhat or very little (61.4, 45.2, and 18.2%, p &lt; 0.001; respectively) and (50.9, 30.4, and 18.2%, p = 0.001; respectively). Conclusion Many pregnant women use the internet to access information about PA and diet, and greater use is associated with more positive lifestyle changes. This study provides useful information to consider when designing intervention programs for pregnant women about adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyles.

Abstract Genomic surveillance has enabled the identification of several SARS-CoV-2 variants, allowing the formulation of appropriate public health policies. However, surveillance could be made more effective. We have determined that the time taken from strain collection to genome submission for over 1.7 million SARS-CoV-2 strains available at GISAID. We find that strain-wise, time lag in this process ranges from one day to over a year. Country-wise, the UK has taken a median of 16 days (for 417,287 genomes), India took 57 days (for 15,614 genomes), whereas Qatar spent 289 days (for 2298 genomes). We strongly emphasize that along with increasing the number of genomes of COVID-19 positive cases sequenced, their accelerated submission to GISAID should also be strongly encouraged and facilitated. This will enable researchers across the globe to track the spreading of variants in a timely manner; analyse their biology, epidemiology, and re-emerging infections; and define effective public health policies.

Most cases of COVID-19 pandemic are now being reported outside Wuhan, China where the first case was detected. It is highly contagious and has engulfed the world in a short span of time. The burden on healthcare resources to care for the public has mounted multifold due to its fast transmission. Non-operative management of COVID-19 positive or the clinical suspicious cases is preferred. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be utilized to protect the healthcare professionals’ safety. The Ministry of Public Health, Qatar has launched a series of virtual health care facilities to manage patient appointments, medical consultation, sick leave and drug distribution to avoid hospitalization and to minimize the spread of COVID-19 infection to non-emergency patients by dialing hotline number to provide appropriate services. We would like to share and disseminate the experiences at the Acute Care Surgery (ACS) section, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC). Ethical considerations, social distancing and optimum utilization of the available resources are essential to overcome the pandemic situation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 02 April’21 Page: 154-158

The benefits of urban green space for city residents has long been recognised. Indeed, in the UK, the impetus for the development of urban parks in the mid-1800s was specifically to benefit the public's health. More recently, the potential impacts on physical and mental health (both directly and indirectly) have become major drivers of the developing blue-green infrastructure strategies for many modern cities. However, there have been a number of questions raised about how easy it is to access green space for all communities and individuals. Factors associated with accessibility include the location and physical configuration of urban green space, including both real and perceived risks such as personal safety. In addition, it is becoming clear that access to natural environments has a cultural dimension and urban green space such as parks are no exception to this. The presentation will examine the current state of knowledge in the UK, where the park movement began and has more recently been revitalised. The cultural implications of green space development will be explored in the context of large modern cities. Implications for the design and development of blue-green infrastructure in Qatar will be discussed in the light of current UK developments.

Background As a conventional type of communication, health education usually face several barriers that make its outcome fall short. Among many, lack of interest, distraction, and rejection are well documented barriers to engaging audience in a communication process leading to behavioral change. Despite the novel corona virus which was responsible for the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) created public concerns, it, on the other hand, paved the road to effective health education via raising receivers’ attention. With the aim to highlight the context and factors attributed to educate the public during epidemics, this study documented how the outbreak of MERS-CoV offered valuable opportunities to communicate critical educational messages on the recommended preventive behaviors and practices. Methods In this retrospective study, we documented the timeline of MERS-CoV key events in Qatar, along with the disseminated health education messages that were captured by the print media during the period Sep 2012 through Nov 2013. Results The media documented that one of the first two reported cases worldwide was a Qatari national. A significant turn of the public's risk perception about MERS-CoV took place when studies documented that camels are thought to play critical role in the virus transmission to humans. Six months after the identification of the first case, this relationship was confirmed when it was declared that the MERS-CoV was isolated from camels in Qatar, provided that raising camels is a social norm and an embedded cultural practice in the country and across the region. Nevertheless, MERS-CoV cases and deaths continued to be reported. Out of 153 news stories reported on MERS-CoV, 12 major developments either reporting confirmed cases or deaths were identified in Qatar. Two Press conferences, sixteen press releases, and two interviews were counted, all from competent authorities. As the novel virus captured the media attention, all aspects of the new virus were extensively reported, ranging from the basic information about the virus traits, the clinical signs and symptoms, treatment outcome of cases, to the ongoing researches, epidemiological findings of the most vulnerable persons, the zoonotic nature of the disease, and the recommended course of action. The public pressing demand for updates and information drove the media interest to arrange talk shows and interviews with the high health officials to give firsthand accounts about the virus and the prevention and control efforts. While fresh MERS-CoV cases were reported from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, fears were growing that Hajj season may allow for a large scale spread of the virus. The publicized health education messages at that time called upon the most-at-risk group to postpone going to Hajj and Umrah, be assessed for medical fitness, get vaccinated against seasonal flu, and avoid the crowded and badly ventilated areas. This group involved elderly and patients with chronic illnesses or impaired immunity. Afterwards, frequent hand washing and drinking pasteurized camel milk or consuming well-cooked camel meat was advised along with minimizing close contact with symptomatic persons. Discussion The timeline of MERS-CoV events along with the communication activities in response to them gave a strong indication about the correlation between the media interest and public concern of a particular subject in hand, and the opportunities created by this momentum to communicate key information and recommended course of action by the competent authorities to satisfy the public's needs on the other hand. Three main factors influenced how MERS-CoV was perceived in Qatar: its unfamiliarity, the epidemiological link to camels, and the way media had portrayed it. Like any other exotic risk, MERS-CoV's acknowledged unfamiliarity even to health officials seduced the media to fill the uncertainty vacuum by persistently focusing on the similarities with the deadly SARS epidemic that erupted in 2002, thereby allowing for scary scenarios to seed in the public's imagination. It was then announced that a kind of relationship had been established between the infected persons and camels before a Qatari scientific team declared that the life MERS CoV was isolated from an infected camel. The immediate result of this perceived risk was heightened public attention and interest. However, the repeatedly announced symptoms of suspected cases allowed for better identification and induced voluntary reporting of cases to healthcare facilities. Substantial proportion of the communication process usually devoted to achieve the preparatory steps of seizing the audiences’ attention besides making sure that the content matters to them. Whereas the public need for information was being satisfied through news releases and press conferences, health education messages constituted a prime ingredient of the communication content. Despite of the denial and stigma linked to the unfamiliar disease, the communicated health messages had a tangible influence on giving the target audience the information necessary to take decisions on the personal and community level. According to records of the medical Hajj committee, response to the pre-travel medical assessment and vaccination was remarkable. Patients complied with the isolation requirements. Nevertheless, Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials were not prepared prior to the press conferences, indicating missed opportunities. After all, no significant rejection to the recommended course of action was identified. Study limitations As this study was based on reviewing the content of print media, other types of mass media were excluded. Moreover, it was important to determine the extent to which the target communities relied on official press releases and press conferences to gain information related to MERS-CoV. Conclusion Couple of factors contributed to the successful engaging of the target communities to adopt the recommended course of action: the perceived risk of the novel virus which made the public highly attentive, the timing of the health education messages that usually coincided with the critical disease developments, and the assignment of credible well-known resource officials from the competent authorities. As the public uptake of behaviors recommended by trusted authorities tends to be very high during epidemics, efforts should be made on designing health education messages to be injected within media products like press conferences and press releases during early preparedness phases.

The World Health Organization (WHO) issues recommendations regarding influenza vaccine utilization, with a focus on safeguarding the most vulnerable and high-risk segments of the population against severe disease [1]. WHO's policy report on influenza vaccine, published in 2022, specifically designates pregnant women as a priority group for nations expanding their influenza vaccination initiatives, underlining the vaccine's capacity to confer protection to both mothers and their newborns for up to six months postpartum, shielding them from influenza infections [2]. Extensive evidence attests to the safety of administering influenza vaccines to pregnant women, with studies revealing a substantial reduction in laboratory-confirmed influenza cases, ranging from 35% to 70% for mothers and 28% to 61% for infants under six months of age [3,5]. The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in Qatar recommends that pregnant women receive a single dose of the influenza vaccine during any trimester of pregnancy, and this guidance is implemented across Antenatal clinics, including the Rawadat al Khail Health Center. Adherence to both local and WHO guidelines in clinical practice is of paramount importance. Thus, this study endeavors to ascertain the degree of adherence exhibited by healthcare professionals and pregnant women to the recommendations pertaining to influenza vaccination during pregnancy.

This case study is the first to be developed in the Middle East region to describe the timeline of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) epidemic events in Qatar along with the features of the implemented Emergency Risk Communication (ERC) activities. It sought to describe how the performed ERC strategy particularly during the first days (then over the course of the following phases) of the outbreak might have contributed to the authorities&rsquo; credibility, public trust, and outbreak control measures despite the overwhelming uncertainty. All of the relevant news stories during the period 24 Sep 2012 to 17 Mar 2014 were retrieved from a local daily, then were analyzed and interpreted before they were compiled and matched with the issued press releases, records of response activities and the public reactions along the course of the epidemic timeline. Despite the prevailing uncertainty, the health authorities&rsquo; early preparedness to the epidemic and its commitment to a proactive and open ERC strategy since the first days of the outbreak favored the authorities&rsquo; credibility and allowed for the quick initiation of the national response efforts during the course of the outbreak. However, there was some pitfalls as the print media reported some conflicting messages and paternalist approach during the early phases of the epidemic. Reliance solely on the print media is an acknowledged limitation to this study. Yet, it might be useful for emergency planners regarding what communication challenges to expect during the first days of a novel virus or similar threats.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> In December 2019, a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the cause of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. It rapidly spread due to human-to-human transmission, resulting in a global pandemic. Nearly every country, including Qatar, has established guidelines and regulations to limit the spread of the virus and to preserve public health. However, these procedures have been associated with negative effects on the psychological and intellectual well-being of individuals, including children and adolescents. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The objective of this study was to determine the psychological influence of home isolation and social distancing on children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic in Qatar, and the strategies used to cope with these measures. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> This cross-sectional study was undertaken using an online questionnaire administered through SMS text messaging. All home-isolated children and adolescents registered at the Primary Health Care Corporation aged 7-18 years were invited to participate in the study. Children and adolescents with intellectual disadvantages were excluded. A <i>P</i> value of .05 (two-tailed) was considered statistically significant. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Data were collected from 6608 participants from June 23 to July 18, 2020. Nearly all participants adhered to the official regulations during the period of home isolation and social distancing; however, 69.1% (n=4568) of parents believed their children were vulnerable to the virus compared to 25% (n=1652) who expressed they were not vulnerable at all. Higher levels of anger, depression, and general anxiety were prevalent among 1.3% (n=84), 3.9% (n=260), and 1.6% (n=104) of participants, respectively. The mean score for the emotional constructs anger and depression decreased with increased compliance with regulations (<i>P</i>=.04 and <i>P</i>=.11, respectively). The differences in mean score for all psychological and coping strategies used among participants across the 3 levels of vulnerability to SARS-CoV-2 were statistically significant. The mean score varied little with increasing reported vulnerability to the virus. This mild variation can make a difference when the sample size is large, as is the case in this study. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Screening for psychological and social disruptions is important for the development of strategies by schools and health care providers to assess and monitor behavioral changes and negative psychological impact during post–COVID-19 reintegration. Participants experiencing higher levels of anxiety should be given more attention during reintegration and transitional phases in schools. Although electronic devices and social media platforms may have lowered anxiety levels in some cases, it is important to address how they are used and how content is tailored to children and adolescents. It is also important to maintain an active lifestyle for children and young persons, and encourage them not to neglect their physical health, as this promotes a better psychological state of mind. </sec>

In this review, we discuss the current state of population genome programs (PGPs) conducted in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. This region has high prevalence of genetic diseases and significant health challenges as well as being a significantly underrepresented population in public genetic databases. The majority of ongoing PGPs represent regions in Europe, North and South America, South Asia, Australia, and Africa, with little to no descriptive information highlighted only on the MENA Region when it comes to genome programs databases, outcomes, or the challenges that MENA region countries may face establishing their own national programs. This review has identified 6 PGPs currently underway in the MENA region, namely in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Iran. Due to the rapidly growing involvement of the MENA region in national-scale genomic data collection, an increase in representation in public genetic databases is to be expected to occur in the near future. Whilst significant progress is being made in some MENA countries, future initiatives as well as ongoing programs will be facing several challenges related to collaboration, finance, infrastructure and institutional data access, data analysis, sustainability, health records, and biobanks. The review also reiterates the need for ensuring ethical and regulated genomic initiatives which can drive developments in personalized medicine treatments to improve patient prognosis and quality of life.

Background and Objectives This paper considers how the globalized discourse of genetic risk is shaped, informed and taken up in local moral worlds in Qatar. Using the theoretical and methodological approach of medical anthropology, the research explores the way in which Qataris negotiate notions of health, illness and risk: particularly genetic risk. It looks at the theories of causation that are considered for illness and disability. Methods Based on fieldwork conducted over 12 months (2012- 2013), the site of the research was a school for children with special needs. The main method was semi-structured interviews, lasting between 45 minutes and 3 hours. We conducted primary interviews with 45 families of the pupils in the school. Follow up interviews were conducted with 11 of the families. Participants were asked about their notions of health and risk and, particularly, genetic risk. In addition to the main participants, professionals involved in the creation of genetic knowledge and those at interface between the public and genetic discourse were interviewed including: social workers, geneticists, lab technicians, and those involved in medical screening programmes. Results Participants often suggested a number of theories of causation for their family member's disability. Although genetic risk was one, others were presented, often simultaneously. Many participants were uncertain about the cause of their child's condition. They mentioned numerous possibilities including, evil eye, “God's will”, environmental factors such as pollution, and MMR (in the case of autism). Evil eye, also known as “the look” (nathra) is cast by women who may be jealous or envious and who intentionally or unintentionally harm at a glance. In the author's ongoing research in Qatar participants commonly refer to evil eye as a cause of miscarriage and illness more generally. A number of participants suggested that the Gulf War and its associated chemicals had led to certain illnesses and disorders; other pointed to pollution more generally as a possible cause of illness (both specific and general). The mother's emotional and physical state whilst pregnant was often cited as a possible cause of illness or disability in the child. Indeed, if the mother was stressed or psychologically upset during her pregnancy there was the suggestion that this could have caused the condition. This resonates with the author's project on Qatari experiences of miscarriage where many women not only suggest that their emotional state can impact the pregnancy, but also that it can affect the baby in terms of temperament. Conclusions The paper engages with the anthropologist Mary Douglas' seminal work on risk. The modern preoccupation on risk is the way modern societies deal with danger- something of concern for all cultures. Risk perception is culturally shaped provides; despite its apparent neutral language risk is always moral and political. Douglas invites us to question why a society singles out some risks for attention and not others. Risk identification can be investigated to better understand a society's values and its social structures. Of central interest here is the way that Qataris are managing and negotiating risks, including genetic risk.

Introduction: Stroke is a major burden on the health system due to high fatality and major disability in survivors. Whilst Stroke incidence has declined in the developed world, it continues to increase in developing nations, including the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. This may reflect different risk factors and strategies to treat and manage patients prior to and after Stroke.
Methods: We have conducted a systematic review of the prevalence, incidence and mortality of Stroke in the 23 countries of MENA region following the PRISMA guidelines.
Results: 8,874 published papers were retrieved through both PubMed and Embase. Of those, 38 studies were found to be eligible for inclusion in this review. Only thirteen countries in the MENA region had data points for the critical stroke parameters. Of these qualified studies, 14 were prospective, population-based studies. In the age-adjusted studies, incidence ranged widely between 16/100,000 in a prospective population-based in Iran to 162/100,000 in Libya. Age-adjusted prevalence was available only from Tunisia at 184/100,000. Mortality for all strokes from the eight countries reporting this measure found the 30 day-case fatality ranged from 9.3% in Qatar to 30% in Pakistan. Most stroke studies in the MENA region were small sized, hospital-based, lacked confidence intervals and did not provide prevalence and mortality figures.
Conclusion: National policymakers, public health and medical care stakeholders need more reliable epidemiologic studies on Stroke from the MENA region to plan more effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.

An international team of specialists in politics, policy, and activism provide an indispensible guide to the persistent challenges and emerging issues posed by the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, now in its fourth decade.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is at a critical turning point. Compelling new findings herald the potential to eventually grind the epidemic to a halt through a combination of expanded treatment coverage and new biomedical approaches to prevention. At the same time, the severe global economic downturns have negatively affected wealthy donor nations that have provided the funds and technical support for programs in the developing world. It is against this backdrop that this landmark three-volume set was developed. It provides a broad overview of the critical political issues surrounding HIV/AIDS, inspects key areas of policy and policymaking, and spotlights the most important forms of activism and community mobilization.
The volumes reflect an eclectic and wide-ranging set of issues written by an international team comprising dozens of authors from nations including the United States, the United Kingdom, Ghana, South Africa, Brazil, Cambodia, Norway, and Qatar. The international contributors represent a variety of disciplines and bring with them a range of styles and methodological approaches appropriate to their specific topics and disciplines. An important addition to academic and public libraries, this expansive work will benefit students and other readers interested in politics, policymaking, public health, activism, and community mobilization, both in the United States and globally.

This study aimed to explore emergency pharmacy workforce perspectives and experiences in providing pharmaceutical care during mass gathering events (i.e., FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™).A qualitative methodology was employed using focus groups discussions. Emergency pharmacists across Hamad Medical Corporation were invited to participate using a combination of purposive and snowball sampling. Focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and validated. Inductive thematic analysis was undertaken to generate key themes and subthemes.Four focus groups were conducted which included 21 participants and generated five major themes. Whilst participants had mixed opinions in relation to their preparedness to practice during the World Cup, they perceived their experience as successful and smooth. The primary perceived facilitators were management support, mobile medical units, and high public health awareness. The main highlighted barriers were related to staff insufficiency, medications availability, and cultural and language challenges. Participants recommended pharmacist's role identification in mass gatherings, development of pharmacy action plan, and offering simulation training and pharmacy-specific training.Despite the perceived barriers, pharmacists reported positive views in relation to their experience in providing pharmaceutical care during mass gatherings. Future research should focus on the development of theory-driven action framework for pharmacy departments to adopt during mass gatherings.

Improving public health is the main goal of healthcare systems across the world. Healthcare policymakers often use comparisons between different healthcare systems to better position their country and use the outcome to develop novel strategies to improve their own public health. The present study aimed to compare the health status indicators in Iran with those of the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) countries using the multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) methods.A descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2021 at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Data on the ranking of health status indicators in EM countries were obtained from the annual publications of the World Health Organization, World Health Statistics (2016-2020). As part of the MADM mathematical models, the "criteria importance through intercriteria correlation" (CRITIC) model was used to assign weights to health status indicators. In addition, the "multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution" (VIKOR) model was used to rank the EM countries.The results showed that Bahrain and Somalia ranked first and last on health status indicators, respectively. Iran was ranked fifth among the EM countries. However, while Iran has a better status on all indicators than the mean value of all EM countries, there is a significant gap between the health status in Iran compared to the top-ranked countries.Health care strategies adopted by top-ranked countries, such as Bahrain and Qatar, can be used by Iran and other EM countries as a model to improve their healthcare system.

Background: Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is prevalent amongst 18-64-year-olds (31.9%) in Qatar. Disease prevention through health promotion remains the cornerstone of physicians workload in primary care. Physician reminders (PR) be it electronic or physical can prompt doctors to offer smoking cessation services, hopefully reducing disease burden. The objective was to improve the identification of smokers and provision of smoking cessation services using a PR system in primary care. Methods: A prospective quality improvement project in a primary care health centre focusing on physician practices towards smokers. We analyzed physicians’ documentation post consultation looking for specific end points like use of the code “smoker” and referral rates to the smoking cessation clinic (SCC). Data was collected with and without use of a PR (used to identify smoker) and then compared for the difference in documentation and services offered. Results: The use of a physician reminder vastly improved the identification of smokers. This led to an increase in the use of the code ‘smoker’ by physicians by 43.5%. Documentation of smoking status and the provision of smoking cessation counselling both improved by 32.8%. There was an increase in referral rates (18.8%) to the SCC due to use of the physician reminder. There was a 7.9% rise in smokers attending the SCC. Conclusions: Using a physician reminder helped to improve the identification of smokers and patient provision of smoking cessation services such as referral to the SCC. Repeating the study using an electronic physician reminder incorporated within the EMR system would be beneficial given the findings from this study.

Oral health of children has consistently been a key area of focus in public health. School oral health programs are effective and economical approaches to improve oral health of children. This research explores the School Nurses’(SN) perspectives on Asnani School Oral Health Program (ASOHP). Objectives: (1) To access School Nurses’ attitudes towards Asnani School Oral Health Program and manageability of workload assigned in ASOHP (2) To determine School Nurses’ perspectives on ASOHP implementation and gain insights of service evaluation from their viewpoint. (3) To identify SN perceived barriers and elicit their recommendations to improve ASOHP operations. Materials and Methods: An electronic survey was conducted for School Nurses of public primary schools in Qatar that had participated in ASOHP from November 2018 to March 2022 (n=153). Results: 62 School Nurses completed the questionnaire. Response rate was 67.3%. 49 (79%) had reported that ASOHP was beneficial for the students, 60 SNs (97%) were satisfied with ASOHP. Nearly 9 out of 10 SNs reported that Asnani team was fulfilling their duties efficiently (87%). Perceived barrier reported by a few SNs was that the administrative duties in ASOHP were time consuming and they recommended delegating a specific school staff member for supporting ASOHP duties. Conclusion: SNs attitude, perspectives and perceived barriers provide valuable insights that determine their satisfaction with ASOHP. It also reinforces the need of better SN collaboration for the success of ASOHP.

Introduction: There are little attention about health spending and public health outcomes especially in the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region. This paper presents an overview on health spending and public health outcomes in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean countries during 1995-2011. Methods: This study conducted in 2013 use of health expenditure and public health outcome of 19 WHOs Eastern Mediterranean Region countries during 17 years (1995-2011). Data were including: Per capita health expenditure in current US dollar, Life expectancy at birth, Infant Mortality Rate per 1,000 live births, Under-5 years Mortality Rate per 1,000 live births. Data collected from the latest World Bank published data until 2013. The Descriptive statistics were used to study by using Excel 2007. Results: In this region, the minimum spending on health (by Pakistan) was about 60 times less than maximum spending (by Qatar). Maximum amount of infant and children mortality rate were respectively 9 and 10 times more than the minimum. Also a decreasing returns to scale of health spending seen between countries. So that countries with better public health status need to pay much more than countries with poor public health status to increase 1 year life expectancy or to save 1 infant or child from premature death. Conclusion: There is a large inequality among countries of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean region in both health spending and public health outcomes. Due to a decreasing return to scale, allocation financial aids to countries with poor health status can help converging health status in the region and decrease inequalities.

<h3>Background</h3> Quality improvement (QI) projects have been established in many pediatric and adult rheumatology centers around the world to enable real time improvement of health delivery and outcomes. QI has been driven by the Institute of Medicine, patients, professional organizations and the providers. Notably, another driver is the discrepancy between the availability of better and targeted therapies and poor disease outcomes.<sup>1</sup> QI allows for healthcare teams to decide on improvement goals to address gaps in care and implement these goals in sustainable ways, evaluate the impact and start a new cycle of improvement. In so doing, teams collaborate, learn from each other, and improve variability in a short time frame. In small practices with limited resources, effective QI projects allows for understanding the gaps in the processes, data collection and several process improvements to be done by different team members, in short cycles that allow for real time data evaluation and fine tuning processes. <h3>Objectives</h3> We describe the chosen quality measures, implementation of processes and first 6 months of data at a newly opened Children’s Hospital in Doha, Qatar. <h3>Methods</h3> We chose quality measures that have been proposed in the literature and have been implemented in large learning collaboratives. <sup>1</sup> We worked with the informatics team to build measures that are accurately captured and retrievable from the electronic medical record. Additionally we worked with our Ophthalmology clinic to ensure a smooth referral pathway that is coordinated by nursing staff. Our EMR measures were 1) the screening for drug toxicity among patients receiving methotrexate or leflunomide within 3-4 month of receiving Methotrexate 2) the time between referral to and visit in Ophthalmology, to screen for toxicity among patients receiving hydroxychloroquine 3) time between referral to and visit in Ophthalmology, to screen for uveitis in children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Our nursing teams developed a manual joint injection log 1) to capture whether the time between referral for procedure and procedure date occurred within 2 weeks, and monitor side effects. We examined data between June to December 2018 from the pediatric rheumatology patient population of 420 unique patients. <h3>Results</h3> 96% of children receiving methotrexate or leflunomide were screened for methotrexate toxicity within 3-4 months of the medicine being dispensed. 50% of children receiving hydroxychloroquine were seen by Ophthalmology within 4 months of the referral. 71% of children with JIA were seen by Ophthalmology within 1 month of the referral. 100% of children had joint injections performed within 14 days of the referral. <h3>Conclusion</h3> We described the development, implementation and results of our pediatric rheumatology QI projects. To our knowledge it is the first of a kind in Qatar and in the area. For our growing practice of 600 patient visits our data shows areas of great performance and poor performance, specifically in eye care for our patients. Barriers included education of teams about QI measures and processes, collaborating with other services on negotiating best patient practices. Successful implementation in our processes underlines the need for further data collection and additional improvement cycles. Additionally, in resource poor areas, it is essential to make good use of the EMR and work in collaborative teams to ensure participation and sustainability of processes. Next steps would be to add additional quality and disease outcome measures. <h3>References</h3> [1] Harris, J. et al. Improving Care Delivery Outcomes in Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus(MERS-Co V) has emerged in the Arabian Gulf region, with its epicentre in Saudi Arabia, the host of the ‘Hajj’ which is the world’s the largest mass gathering. Transmission of MERS-Co V at such an event could lead to its rapid worldwide dissemination. Therefore, we studied the frequency of viruses causing influenza-like illnesses(ILI) among participants in a randomised controlled trial at the Hajj 2013. We recruited 1038 pilgrims from Saudi Arabia, Australia and Qatar during the first day of Hajj and followed them closely for four days. A nasal swab was collected from each pilgrim who developed ILI. Respiratory viruses were detected using multiplex RT-PCR. ILI occurred in 112/1038(11%) pilgrims. Their mean age was 35 years, 49(44%) were male and 35(31%) had received the influenza vaccine pre-Hajj. Forty two(38%) pilgrims had laboratory-confirmed viral infections; 28(25%) rhinovirus, 5(4%) influenza A, 2(2%) adenovirus, 2(2%) human coronavirus OC43/229 E, 2(2%) parainfluenza virus 3, 1(1%) parainfluenza virus 1, and 2(2%) dual infections. No MERS-Co V was detected in any sample. Rhinovirus was the commonest cause of ILI among Hajj pilgrims in 2013. Infection control and appropriate vaccination are necessary to prevent transmission of respiratory viruses at Hajj and other mass gatherings.

While nutrition education modifies dietary habits, the impact is not sustainable over time. Integrating Health Belief Model (HBM) in nutrition education may aid in sustaining the improvement. This article determines the impact of integrating the HBM in nutrition education for individuals with cardiometabolic risk (CMR) to improve CMR markers, knowledge and dietary habits, especially regarding calories and nutrients of concern. We conducted a comprehensive search using online databases (Ovid LWW, PubMed, and Scopus (Elsevier)) for full-text articles published in the English language for the past ten years from January 2011 until August 2021. The included studies used controlled intervention among individuals with CMR defined using 'Harmonised' definitions by the International Diabetes Federation Task Force. The Quality Assessment Tool for Controlled Intervention Studies assessed the study quality. Seven studies, mainly from Iran, Iraq, Qatar and Greece, were included in this review, involving 1055 participants with CMR. Study quality ranged from fair to good. Most of the intervention studies did not blind the participants, providers and outcome assessors to group assignments. Integrating HBM in nutrition education with study duration between three to 12 months effectively improved some dietary habits, physical activity levels, knowledge, health belief, anthropometric and CMR factors. Integrating HBM in nutrition education positively impacted the outcome measures in individuals with CMR. The need for HBM is evident in improving dietary habits, particularly the calories intake and the nutrient of concern, including carbohydrates, fats, and dietary sugar. Modifying to a better quality of nutrients, such as antioxidants warrant further investigation.

Abstract Evidence shows a growing trend of the HIV epidemic in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We aimed to project the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) in the region from 1990 to 2019 and assess its trend by 2025, and 2030. We extracted the HIV incidence, mortality, and DALY data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and UNAIDS databases. The joinpoint regression model was used to examine changes in HIV trends. The trend changes were estimated by average annual percent change (AAPC). In most countries, an increasing trend was observed in HIV incidence, mortality, and DALY. Specifically, the highest growth in the annual incidence rate was related to Egypt (AAPC = 14.4, GBD) and Iran (AAPC = 9.6, UNAIDS). Notably, Qatar (AAPC = − 5.6, GBD), Bahrain (AAPC = − 3.3, GBD), and Somalia (AAPC = − 4.2, UNAIDS) demonstrated a significant reduction in incidence. Regarding mortality rates, Djibouti (AAPC = 24.2, GBD) and Iran (AAPC = 16.2, UNAIDS) exhibited a significant increasing pattern. Furthermore, the estimated increase in incidence by 2030 was most marked in Djibouti (985%) and Iran (174%). Iran (422%) and Egypt (339%) showed a prominent rise in mortality rates. GBD data showed 16 countries had an increasing pattern in DALY in both genders. According to age and period effects, there was a significant upward trend in incidence, mortality rates, and DALY. Findings highlighted the urgent need for improved prevention and treatment services, including expanding access to HIV testing, promoting safe practices, increasing antiretroviral therapy coverage, and supporting targeted interventions for high-risk populations.

Abstract This article provides a thorough and methodical evaluation of the Human Cystic Echinococcosis (HCE) burden in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area from 1990 to 2019, with a particular focus on the United Arab Emirates (UAE). HCE is prevalent in many places, including MENA, and has a severe public health effect as a zoonotic disease. By analyzing data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study, we were able to calculate the rate of HCE and the number of years of life lost due to it. In 2019, across 21 countries, the three highest number of CE cases were measured in Iran with 5760 (95% UI: 4753 to 6977), in Iraq with 5489 (95% UI: 2905 to 8992), and in Sudan with 5070 (95% UI: 2661to 8432). The largest increase in the number of incident CE cases was seen in UAE (459% increase), Jordan (450% increase), and Afghanistan (234% increase). Moreover, the largest increase in the ASIR of CE was measured was observed in Jordan [EAPC = 2.06%, 95% UI: (1.66–2.47%)], while the greatest reduction was seen in Qatar [EAPC = ‒0.21%, 95% UI: (‒0.36% to ‒0.06%)]. Our research shows that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Middle East are both heavily impacted by HCE. The fact that HCE keeps returning shows that not all bases have been covered in the fight against this illness. The research highlights the need for more focused, resource-optimized measures to tackle HCE, especially in heavily afflicted places like the UAE. To better health outcomes associated with HCE in the MENA area, this report is an essential evidence-based resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and academics.

BackgroundThe 1990s were dubbed the sanctions decade, typified by the situation in Iraq. The past 10 years have seen continued use of siege, ostensibly in the interest of promoting political change. For this decade, the Gaza Strip has been the model of siege. Siege regimes have also been imposed on Yemen, and to a lesser extent on Qatar, Iran, and areas of Syria. This paper examines the consequences of siege for those in the field of health-care provision, and what responsibilities medical staff have in the face of the human rights crises that accompany siege. Can public health needs be served without an explicit agenda that promotes sovereignty and liberation of populations under siege?MethodsThe primary source of data for this paper is secondary literature, popular media and non-governmental organisation (NGO) reports dealing with the effects of siege on health-care provision in Gaza, Yemen, Iraq during the Sanctions period, and Iran. These primary data are supported by participant observation and interviews with medical staff in the Gaza Strip. These data were analysed using a critical political economy framework. Ethics approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of Bucknell University.FindingsSiege continues to be promoted as an alternative to warfare in the press and in academic writing. Medical and other NGOs document the strain that blockades represent as they record the extent of health-care crises, but they do not confront the coalitions that impose siege. Discussions of the importance of sovereignty to the promotion of health care remain sidelined within a discourse of wars on terror.InterpretationFamiliarity and engagement with geopolitical practices of isolation and resistance is important for health-care providers in territories under siege. As health-care providers represent front line witnesses of the effects of siege on local populations, their testimonies represent a substantial challenge to the status quo. International and local health workers should coordinate with activists and academics to create a global health paradigm of liberation by promoting local sovereignty and international solidarity.FundingBucknell University.

Background: Drug therapy is the most used intervention for the treatment and prevention of diseases. However, if used inappropriately, drugs can cause more harm than good. Improper drug storage and disposal can have direct impact on public safety, the environment, and healthcare services. No previous studies have examined how medications are stored, used or disposed-off in Qatari homes. Objectives: To explore how medications are stored in Qatari homes, and to identify how unwanted medications are disposed of. Methods: This was cross-sectional, descriptive, and epidemiological study. A list of randomly selected telephone numbers was generated from Qatar's telephone directory. Individuals answering calls were provided with the study objectives, and asked if they wished to participate. Those who offered verbal consent were interviewed in Arabic or English using a multi-part pre-tested survey instrument. The survey contained questions related to the participants’ socio-demographic characteristics as well as to the stored medications at home. Results: Data were collected from a total of 49 households. The sample contained an ethnic mix of whom 28% stored medications in their bedroom, and 13% in a fridge. Most respondents disposed of unwanted medicines by throwing in the trash. The majority of respondents sought information related to drugs from doctors. Only 6% identified pharmacists as their primary source of information related to drugs. There seems to be poor or no correlation between household income and number of drugs stored or the method of disposal of medicines. Discussion and Conclusions: The results raise concerns about how medications are stored and disposed-off in the community. The fact that no household routinely returned unwanted medications to a pharmacy for proper disposal places the environment at risk. There is need for societal awareness on the safe handling and storage of drugs in homes, and pharmacist should do more to raise awareness about their expected professional role.

Introduction: Despite the progress in tobacco control efforts, smoking remains the leading reason of preventable morbidity and mortality. Alarmingly, adolescents are the most prone to experiment with smoking and become addicted. As part of deterring and reducing smoking, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) recommends the implementation of Graphic Health Warnings (GHWs) on cigarette packages. This thesis examines whether GHWs are perceived as an effective approach to reducing smoking among adolescents. It also investigates the under- researched area of whether fear appeal associated with GHWs increases stigma and how adolescents engage with and create meaning from GHWs. As yet, no research has specified the social and cultural dimensions that may be important factors to the effectiveness of GHWs among adolescents.
Aim: The study takes a social marketing approach to examine the effectiveness of a public health policy, GHWs. The study follows an audience-centred approach to explore, through the lens of semiotics theory, the factors related to adolescents’ perception of GHWs in a cross-cultural context. This empirical study aims to offer an original contribution to the literature by establishing the communication relationship between context-specific and cross-cultural public health and social marketing communication in tobacco control. The study also explores adolescents’ suggestions for alternative messages and ways that could be more persuasive to change adolescents’ smoking attitudes.
Method: The study followed a multi-site qualitative research method of focus groups and interviews among adolescents (13–18 years) in the UK and in Qatar. Twenty-six focus group discussions were conducted with adolescents in Qatar and a total of 9 focus groups and 6 individual interviews were conducted with adolescents in the UK. In total, 141 adolescents from both countries participated in the study. Interviews and focus groups were based on a semi-structured topic guide. The focus groups and interviews entailed an interactive methodological technique which is known as a projective technique. The technique involved three main activities for participants: ranking GHWs on a matrix of least to most persuasive for adolescents; designing their own understanding of a relevant and persuasive health message; and creating a mood board of the messages they perceive as persuasive to adolescents.
Findings: The data were thematically analysed drawing on the theory of semiotics. Analysis of the data revealed three main themes and eight sub-themes. The study reveals that fear appeal is not always effective among adolescents and that it might create unintended consequences such as disengagement with the message, ethical considerations and reduced self-efficacy. The data suggest factors that are important message characteristics to account for during the development and evaluation of GHWs. Moreover, the study findings identify certain social and cultural factors that influence perceptions of GHWs. Adolescents in the study suggested alternative ways of communicating GHWs such as incorporating positively framed messages and other novel ways of communicating the anti-smoking message.
Discussion: This thesis makes a theoretical contribution by adding concepts to the theory of semiotics, such as proximity and authenticity that can enhance the relevance and effectiveness of health messages. This contribution adds to the understanding of the meaning of signs and the dimensions deemed relevant in meaning creation. The study offers early insights into adolescents’ perceptions of GHWs in the Middle Eastern region and provides a comparative insight to adolescents’ perceptions in the UK. The thesis contributes original insights to the health communication and social marketing field, by raising awareness of the importance of specific message characteristics and social and cultural dimensions in influencing the perceptions of the target group. It also provides informed perspectives on the potential of positively framed messages and other novel approaches that could reduce unintended consequences. Furthermore, the study connects social marketing and health promotion principles to elevate a public health policy. By following an audience centred approach, the study explores the perspective of adolescents on GHWs and for the first time explores their suggestions for alternative messages and ways to communicate the antismoking message.
Conclusion: The study highlights concepts and dimensions to be considered in tobacco control policy that could also be transferable to other health products. The study accentuates the importance of targeting and tailoring health communication through contextualised messages that engage the target audience. This perspective suggests a participatory approach of health communication messages.

 Karachi is the most populous city in Pakistan and it plays an important role in urban demography of Pakistan. It is growing rapidly, as every fifth urban citizen lives here. This urbanization creates serious challenges for all sectors of Karachi. Especially the health sector, from demand and supply view point is facing serious challenges in terms of non-availability of qualified doctors, specifically female doctors, medicines, latest equipment, poor infrastructure, and patient’s queues belonging to other rural areas because of the lack of quality healthcare facilities, makes the public hospitals crowded and overburdened. Like all over Pakistan, public sector hospitals are very much neglected in Karachi also and needs special consideration. The focus should be on developing patient oriented supply chains for efficient patient’s care and healthcare facilities. Moreover, the case study of Qatar hospital a part of our basic research study also highlighted the depriving condition for women patients’ in Emergency Department, because only male doctors are there but female doctors are not available. Although we observed that the gender wise daily patient flow was consist of 65% females, whereas only 35% male patients. The study suggests that there is an urgent need of women doctors and paramedics staff in the public sector hospitals of suburbs of Karachi. This paper presents a synoptic view of concerns of the residents of Karachi, and identification of their selection criteria of health care facilities. The study also aimed to provide solutions and recommendations for the improvement of these facilities. Cross sectional questionnaire and random sampling with two stage clusters sampling was used to record the responses of 1991 households, 46% respondents were female and 54% were male. Among the total of 11127 respondents, only 580, (5.2 %) sought treatment in public health hospitals and, 2440 (21.9 %) visited private hospitals. Research results shows that Cost is the only significant factor because of which people opt for treatment at public healthcare facility.

Abstract During the COVID-19 epidemic, due to high risk from travel and gathering in groups, the Ministry of public Health in Qatar decided to offer home delivery of medication. We aim to investigate the satisfaction and preference of patients with chronic diseases who have utilized the new home delivery services from Health Centers. A descriptive cross-sectional study was used exploratory questionnaire to assess the preference of patients in terms of delivery of their medications. Out of 656 participants, 98.78% of the patients suffer from chronic diseases. Males (54%) were slightly more than the females (46%) and most were University graduates (68%). Age wise 68% were over 40 with majority 35% 41–50 years. Around 72% took an average of 10–30 minutes to travel from home to the health center. Majority (62.65%) preferred face to face in the way the services were arranged and information provided, ease of contacting to provide services (55%), sorting out queries and problems (61%), complaints or concerns handled (59%), receiving the drugs without affecting the conditions of transportation and storage of medications (58%), the accuracy and completeness of supplies delivered (58%), the helpfulness and courtesy of the person delivering the medications (57%), the quality of services and advice received (59%). Majority felt face to face was more cost efficient than the home delivery service (64%). Overall, the views of patients regarding the home delivery services were generally positive, but some patients still held their preference of face-to-face interactions over certain aspects of the service provision. Costs have also been a concern after its introduction which needs to be addressed when considering future aspects of the service. This service may play a major role in the future to improve accessibility for the community and reduce unneeded visits to the health centers.

Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), the main health provider in Qatar, does not implement a cost-effectiveness threshold (CET) of acceptable cost-per-effect for the innovative drugs when considered for formulary inclusion, i.e. drug selection is based on the drugs' safety and effectiveness with no regard to cost. This study sought to estimate the economic impact of implementing a CET on the expenditure of innovative drugs in HMC. This is a retrospective study, in which we analyzed the HMC drug utilization data for the period 2008-2010. From the Qatari perspective, a CET was calculated and used to screen innovative drugs for formulary inclusion. This was based on cost-per-quality adjusted life years (QALYs) values of innovative drugs, as analyzed from literature. Drugs that had estimated negative costs (savings) and equal/more QALYs compared with standard treatment were not taken into the analyses. Threshold and scenario one-way sensitivity analyses, and an uncertainty (Monte Carlo simulation) analysis were performed to assess the robustness of the study conclusions. Thirty-four innovative drugs were identified (12 in 2008, 11 in 2009, and 11 in 2010) and included in the analysis. Based on an underestimation of the CET effect, a potential 22.2-68.0% reduction in innovative drug expenditure was demonstrated. Based on the uncertainty analysis, there is a 70% chance that a CET will result in the 68.0% innovative drugs expenditure reduction. This was equivalent to QAR16,429,260 and to a 2.1% reduction in the overall HMC drug expenditure. Drugs were ranked as per their influence on the CET effect, where the drug ‘Sitagliptin' had the highest influence. According to sensitivity analyses, study results were robust against uncertainties with inputs. Reduction in HMC innovative drug expenditure maybe achieved with the application of a formal CET. For formulary drug selection, HMC decision makers should consider the cost-effectiveness of drugs, in addition to their effectiveness and safety.

Current Opinion in Epidemiology and Public Health is a newly launched journal that joins a successful series of review journals whose unique format is designed to provide a systematic and critical assessment of the literature as presented in the many primary journals. The field of epidemiology and public health is divided into a number of sections that are each reviewed once a year. Each section is assigned one to two Section Editors who are leading authorities in the area, who identify the most important topics at that time. Here we are pleased to introduce the Journal's Section Editor. SECTION EDITOR Suhail A.R. DoiSuhail A.R. DoiDr Suhail A.R. Doi is a Professor of Population Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology at the Qatar University College of Medicine, where he heads the Department of Population Medicine. He is a Clinical Endocrinologist by training and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Scotland. He transitioned from clinical practice in endocrinology to clinical epidemiology once he had become a consultant. After obtaining a Masters and PhD in clinical epidemiology from Australia, he has established himself as a leader in this area, proceeding to write two books on clinical epidemiology and many methodological papers dealing with methods of interest to researchers. He has a keen interest in the methods used in evidence synthesis and key examples are methods for aggregate data-meta-analysis (QE model), dose-response meta-analysis (REMR method), network meta-analysis (generalized pairwise modelling), diagnostic meta-analysis (split component synthesis method) and the Doi plot for bias assessment. Many of his methods are available as Stata modules for researchers. In addition to methods development, he has a keen interest in outcomes research in the area of endocrinology, metabolism, obesity and diabetes and has led important clinical studies in this broad area including on gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid cancer and related areas. He has over 250 publications listed on PubMed, and is highly cited and listed amongst the top 2% scientists in his field.

Background: Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is becoming popular worldwide especially among youth. Research reported that university students have poor knowledge and misconceptions about the health risks of e-cigarettes, which may lead students to use them even in populations where prevalence of cigarette smoking is relatively low. At this age, the influence of peers is also significant. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of e-cigarette use among university students as well as their knowledge and attitudes towards e-cigarettes. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study among Qatar University students using a self-administered online questionnaire. Descriptive univariate analysis of all variables was conducted as well as a bivariate analysis to check the association of e-cigarette use with selected variables. A binary logistic regression was conducted to assess predictors of e-cigarette use. Results: The prevalence of e-cigarette use among students was found to be 14% where 32% of them were daily users. Approximately 42% of the participants agreed that ‘e-cigarettes are less harmful to health compared to traditional cigarettes, and 45.7% of them agreed that ‘e-cigarettes can prevent smoking traditional cigarettes. The prevalence of e-cigarettes use was 16.2% among males and 12.8% among females, which showed no significant difference between the two genders. Females were more likely to use e-cigarettes because they “don’t smell” (P-value=0.023). The study showed a significant association between e-cigarette use and knowledge items (P-value < 0.05) and having a smoker among siblings or friends. At the multivariate analysis level, only the friends’ effect remained significant after controlling for the other variables (OR= 7.3, P-value=0.000). Conclusion: Our research found that university students have inadequate knowledge and misconceptions in regards to e-cigarettes use, especially among users. Effective smoking prevention policy and educational interventions are needed to enhance awareness among university students about the health effects associated with e-cigarettes use.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, nonbinary, two-spirit, queer, questioning, and other sexual and gender diverse-identified people (i.e., LGBTQ+1) represent a heterogeneous group of communities. These communities have gained significant social acceptance and legal protections in the United States over the last decade, although those hard-fought advancements remain tenuous. Complex multilevel stigma (e.g., individual, interpersonal, and structural) continues to impact how health systems provide person-centered care to LGBTQ+ people, which negatively impacts their health outcomes. In addition, compulsory heterosexuality and cisgenderism, that is, heterosexuality and cisgenderism are assumed and enforced upon people by a heterocisnormative society (Rich, 1980), in nursing perpetuate stigma within the health care setting (Chinn, 2008; Searle, 2019), rendering LGBTQ+ nurses invisible. As we continue our series on learning the language of health equity, this paper seeks to advance our understanding of culturally sensitive and person-centered language to support nurses, midwives, and researchers in advancing health equity among LGBTQ+ communities. Nurses, midwives, and researchers should be cognizant of the nuances between sex, gender, and sexuality. Sex, gender, and sexuality are multidimensional concepts that are often conflated, misunderstood, and even politicized. However, everyone has a sex, gender, and sexuality—even you. Sex is based on a cluster of anatomical and physiological traits, that is, external genitalia, secondary sex characteristics, gonads, chromosomes, and hormones. Sex is assigned at birth as female, male, or intersex/differences of sex development. Gender encompasses identity, expression, and social-cultural norms or expectations associated with specific sex traits. Gender identities include, but are not limited to, cisgender, nonbinary, gender fluid, transgender, and two-spirit. Sexuality (also called sexual orientation) encompasses components such as emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attraction, sexual identity, and sexual behavior. Sexual identities include, but are not limited to, bisexual, gay, heterosexual, lesbian, pansexual, same-gender loving, two-spirit, queer, and questioning. Table 1 provides further details regarding these constructs and identities. Female Male Intersex/differences of sex development Man (cisgenderb or transgenderc) Woman (cisgender or transgender) Nonbinaryd Gender fluid Two-spirite Asexual Bisexual Gay Heterosexual Lesbian Pansexual Same-gender loving Two-spirit Queer Questioning Recent estimates suggest that 6.8% of the U.S. adult population identifies as sexually diverse (i.e., the LGBQ+ communities of the LGBTQ+ umbrella; Jones, 2022) and 0.5%–0.7% as gender diverse (i.e., the T communities)—which is more than a 200% increase from estimates a decade earlier (Herman et al., 2022; Jones, 2022). These estimates are theorized to be much lower than actual population levels, however, due to complications with assessment and disclosure deterrents (e.g., stigma and victimization). A growing LGBTQ+ population may be driven by younger generations, as 20.8% of Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2003) identify as LGBTQ+ (Jones, 2022). Increased community size may be further driven by improved methodological approaches to identify LGBTQ+ individuals implemented over the last decade through research and advocacy. A 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report entitled The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People provided a state of the science on the unique health disparities LGBTQ+ individuals experience (Institute of Medicine, 2011). The IOM report prompted the National Institutes of Health to create the Sexual and Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO) in 2015 and to formally designate sexual and gender minority2 (i.e., LGBTQ+) people as a health disparity population in 2016 (Perez-Stable, 2016). Subsequently, funding for LGBTQ+ health research and collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data in nationally representative samples have substantially increased (SGMRO, 2022a, 2022b). So, too, has the availability of SOGI fields in electronic health records (Cahill et al., 2016). Yet, continued efforts are needed to support researchers, policymakers, and clinicians in identifying disparities, establishing policies that promote equity, and providing high-quality, person-centered care to LGBTQ+ people. LGBTQ+ people have existed globally throughout history, with the first recordings going back 5000 years (Peralta, 2011; Schott, 2016). For centuries, LGBTQ+ people have been persecuted (e.g., sanctioned death penalties, incarceration) under the guise of “anti-sodomy laws” and “public indecency” prohibitions for dressing in a manner that was socially attributed to the opposite sex. Not until the 20th century was being an LGBTQ+ person decriminalized in the United States, and antidiscrimination legislation based on sexuality and gender has yet to be realized in all 50 states. For example, The Equality Act (2021), a bill that would amend the Civil Rights Act (1964) to expand antidiscrimination protections to LGBTQ+ people in public spaces, is currently awaiting a vote in the U.S. Senate. As more than 50% of LGBTQ+ adults experience harassment or discrimination in public places (Gruberg et al., 2020), this legal protection is paramount to LGBTQ+ peoples' health and wellbeing. Furthermore, compulsory sterilization requirements were recently outlawed by the European Convention in 2017, but the practice persists globally (Stack, 2017; The Associated Press; 2019). In fact, it remains a punishable crime in 15 countries to cross-dress and in 69 jurisdictions to engage in private, consensual same-sex sexual activity; in 11 of those jurisdictions, the death penalty is legally possible (Afghanistan, Brunei, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates) or actively implemented (Iran, Northern Nigeria, Saudia Arabia, Somalia, and Yemen; Human Dignity Trust, 2022; Sherman et al., 2021a). The legal protections gained for LGBTQ+ people continue to be under threat. In 2022 alone, over 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state legislatures in the United States, with over 70% of the states signing or introducing anti-LGBTQ+ bills into law (Human Rights Campaign, 2022). For example, Florida's “Don't Say Gay” bill banned classroom instruction on SOGI topics (Parental Rights in Education, 2022). Yet, most bills have targeted transgender youth, including banning access to medically necessary and evidence-based care endorsed by major medical associations (American Psychological Association, 2020; Korioth, 2021; Madara, 2021) and fueled by scientific misinformation (Lepore et al., 2022). Similar anti-LGBTQ+ legislation has also been introduced globally, including in the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Singapore, and Afghanistan. In the United States, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and Society for Pediatric Nurses signed an amicus brief in support of providing health care for transgender youth (Brandt & Rutledge, 2021). However, with few exceptions (American Academy of Nursing, 2015; American Nurses Association (ANA), 2018; Sedlak & Boyd, 2016), professional nursing associations have historically been glaringly silent in response to antidiscriminatory LGBTQ+ legislation. Health care systems have been complicit in this history of exclusion of and discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ community. Since the first Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders (DSM) was published in 1952, sexually diverse people have been categorized as having pathological mental disorders, in the same category as paraphilias, such as pedophilia (Drescher, 2015). Pathologization then justified the harmful and unsettling “treatment” options, including conversion therapy (e.g., electroshock), castration, and lobotomies. Gender-diverse people received a pathological diagnosis beginning in 1975, as gender and sexual identities were grouped together before this period (Schwend, 2020). Gender diversity still exists in the DSM today. It has a less stigmatizing label of “gender dysphoria,” however, to distinguish the mental disorder from a person's identity and instead focus on the discomfort or distress some gender-diverse individuals experience when their physical body does not reflect their gender identity. Functionally, this term provides a way to receive a diagnosis—a prerequisite to accessing gender-affirming care such as hormone therapy, surgery, or psychotherapy in many countries (Schwend, 2020). Further, despite the removal of “homosexuality” from the DSM in 1973 and efforts to de-pathologize gender diversity, this history has perpetuated stigmatizing attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people that have cost them their lives (e.g., a delayed public health response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic). These mischaracterizations of LGBTQ+ populations persist today, such as in the current framing of the monkeypox epidemic as a sexually transmitted infection (Bragazzi et al., 2022), impacting health, health care access, and safety. LGBTQ+ health inequities are most commonly explained by minority stress—the additional stress (e.g., discrimination, victimization) experienced by LGBTQ+ people related to the marginalization of their sexuality and/or gender (Brooks, 1981; Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Meyer, 2003). Within health care systems, discrimination and mistreatment are common experiences for LGBTQ+ people. LGBTQ+ people are often refused care and experience harsh or abusive language, unwanted physical contact, and physically rough or abusive care (Ayhan et al., 2019; Cicero et al., 2019; Gruberg et al., 2020). These experiences are heightened among both gender-diverse people and LGBTQ+ people from racial and ethnic minoritized groups (Gruberg et al., 2020). Discrimination, victimization, and stigmatization can impede care delivery, engender mistrust, and negatively impact LGBTQ+ individuals' mental and physical health outcomes (Hatzenbuehler, 2009; Ramsey et al., 2022; Soled, Dimant et al., 2022; Tyerman et al., 2021; White Hughto et al., 2015). Even the anticipation of discrimination is dangerous as about 15% of LGBTQ+ and 30% of gender-diverse adults will postpone or avoid medically necessary care out of fear of discrimination (Gruberg et al., 2020; Jaffee et al., 2016; Seelman et al., 2017). Stigma toward LGBTQ+ people may become evident in the health care setting through microaggressions, implicit bias (Sabin et al., 2015), and expressed discomfort in care for people with identities that differ from their own (Carabez et al., 2016). These attitudes do not stop at LGBTQ+ patients' experiences. The few existing studies of LGBTQ+ nurses highlight work-based stress related to their sexual and/or gender identities (Eliason et al., 2018), including experiences of homophobia, discrimination, and harassment from patients, peers, and supervisors (Eliason et al., 2011). As such, LGBTQ+ nurses may feel the need to hide their identity to avoid such negative consequences (Eliason et al., 2018; Randall & Eliason, 2012). Over time, having to hide one's identity, a component of minority stress, can have a negative impact on mental health (Pachankis et al., 2020). In one study, this stress was associated with problematic substance use among LGB nurses (Avery-Desmarais et al., 2020). Microaggressions are subtle forms of discrimination and include microassaults, microinsults, and microinvalidation. For example, verbal communication using insensitive language, even when unintentional, is a microaggression. Microaggressions have negative health consequences such as increasing symptoms of traumatic stress and depression and contributing to low self-esteem (Nadal et al., 2016). Using language that centers heterocisnormativity, that is, the assumption that heterosexual and cisgender people are the norm, is a common microaggression that can perpetuate discrimination in more insidious ways. For example, some insurance companies use language in policies that restrict health care services to a specific gender (e.g., cervical cancer screening restricted to women, excluding transgender men and transmasculine individuals) or restrict assisted reproductive technology to those with an infertility diagnosis—a diagnosis that is impossible for many LGBTQ+ people to receive (Soled, Niles et al., 2022). Discrimination and the resulting poor health outcomes are particularly heightened for LGBTQ+ people with multiply marginalized identities. Intersectionality theory explains why people with multiply marginalized identities and social positions (e.g., dis/ability, class, race, gender, nativity, sexuality) will experience multiple, overlapping sources of discrimination (e.g., ableism, classism, racism, cisgenderism, ethnocentrism/xenophobia, heterosexism) and adverse health outcomes (Bowleg, 2012; Collins, 2000; Crenshaw, 1989; hooks, 1981; The Combahee River Collective, 1977). For example, intersections between gender and race and the resultant cisgenderism and racism are likely culprits for the exorbitantly disparate poor health outcomes for Black transgender women and femmes, including being 2.73 times more likely to die than other Black transgender people, 2.38 times more likely than Black cisgender men, and 2.43 times more likely than Black cisgender women (Hughes et al., 2022). Intersectional effects are consistently observed among a number of physical and mental health outcomes (Walubita et al., 2022; Zubizarreta et al., 2022). Within the health care system, this compounded discrimination among individuals with intersecting marginalized identities can further impact health negatively through inequities in health care access and receipt of lower quality treatment (Bosworth et al., 2021). The legacy of criminalization, pathologization, and stigma carried out through discriminatory language, as well as the historical trauma inflicted, requires intentional repair between systems of power (e.g., health care professionals, researchers) and the LGBTQ+ community. Effective communication is a cornerstone of patient safety, improved outcomes (Disch, 2012), and person-centered care (Kwame & Petrucka, 2021). Moreover, it is nurses' and midwives' ethical obligation to use language that is respectful of identities and promotes the provision of culturally congruent, competent, and safe care (ANA, 2018)—both of which require LGBTQ+ language literacy. Therefore, learning the lexicon of LGBTQ+ health equity can be a starting point for rebuilding trust, facilitating the delivery of high-quality person-centered care, and promoting LGBTQ+ health equity. Like any new language, learning the lexicon of LGBTQ+ health equity requires intentional and continuous engagement and practice to develop fluency (Squires & Thompson, 2021). Practice can be gained by actively identifying ways one unconsciously or unintentionally commits harm to others. This may disrupt one pathway through which implicit biases and stigma are communicated, perpetuate socially constructed power dynamics, and foster further marginalization (Shattell, 2009). Becoming conscious of one's positionality and relationship to systems of power and oppression and gaining fluency in the lexicon of LGBTQ+ health equity, are powerful strategies for mitigating the impacts of systemic discrimination (Altman et al., 2021). There are several important and broad considerations in understanding and communicating LGBTQ+ identities. First, identities are fluid, meaning they can change over time throughout the life course. Identity fluidity means sexual and gender identities should be repeatedly asked and updated in longitudinal surveys (Flentje et al., 2020) and, when relevant and appropriate, in clinical contexts. Secondly, identities are not singular, meaning a person can have multiple sexual and gender identities simultaneously. Thirdly, identities are not defined by anything beyond self-reported identification. For example, a person's sexual behaviors or attractions do not define their sexual identity (e.g., a person with same-sex behaviors may identify as heterosexual), nor does their gender expression (i.e., the way that an individual communicates their gender through chosen name, pronouns, manner of dressing, or hairstyles) or sex assigned at birth define their gender identity (e.g., a person that uses she/her pronouns and has long hair may identify as nonbinary) Additionally, identities are adjectives that should qualify a noun (e.g., “a queer person” or “queer people,” not “queers” or “a queer”). Further examples of outdated and stigmatizing language to avoid can be found in Table 2. Areas that impact everyone, but particularly LGBTQ+ people, are pronouns and names. Like sexual and gender identities, pronouns should not be assumed based on gender identity, gender expression, sex assigned at birth, or legal name, and a person can have multiple pronouns. If multiple pronouns are indicated (e.g., he/they, ze/she), using any of the included pronouns is appropriate. Using incorrect pronouns to refer to someone is called misgendering and is harmful. Furthermore, an individual's legal name may differ from the name they use. For some gender-diverse people, being referred to by a legal name no longer used is called deadnaming and is also harmful. Avoid misgendering and deadnaming someone in any setting by first introducing yourself with name and pronouns, then requesting the names and pronouns of the individual (“and how may I refer to you?”). When appropriate and relevant to the conversation, subsequently ask for sexual and gender identities, including the option to decline to answer. Prefacing these assessment questions with the reason for asking and what will be done with the information (e.g., “we ask everyone these questions because we want to provide the best care”) may help increase comfort disclosing SOGI data. Name, pronouns, and identities should never be qualified with “preferred” because how one identifies is not a preference. After affirming language fluency and competency have been gained, one can add pronouns to places such as email signatures, video conferencing screen names, presentations, name badges, and door names. This may be a practice that normalizes visibility of LGBTQ+ lives and signals allyship to LGBTQ+ people, although this and other signs of inclusion (e.g., displaying a rainbow flag) may also cause significant harm when performative such as when still employing inappropriate and outdated language in other interactions. Humility, decentering oneself in the interaction, and actively resisting defensiveness when a mistake is held accountable are essential when developing language fluency. Communication mistakes and other nonaffirming actions should be addressed promptly through a brief yet sincere apology. When in a safe space, such as a health equity training, it may be helpful to practice the moment a mistake is made by using an affirming statement and apology such as “his vitals are… I'm sorry. Their vitals are…”. This focus on the mistake and corrected restatement is part of a process coined “deep practice,” which facilitates the production of myelin in the brain and supports stronger, faster skill fluency (Coyle, 2009). There should also be accountability and follow-through when a mistake is made or witnessed. Accountability includes identifying the cause, whether system or individual level, such as advocating to update the language used in an organization's electronic medical record system if it does not support best clinical practices. Accountability can also include respectfully correcting the language of a colleague in an interaction with or reference to an LGBTQ+ person. Moreover, the lexicon of LGBTQ+ health equity is continually evolving as we learn and become more precise with our language over time. Thus, anything written today may soon be outdated and necessitates ongoing training and education. The visibility and inclusion of LGBTQ+ populations in data are paramount for evidence-based clinical guidelines, curriculum standards, policies (e.g., organizational, state, and federal), and resource allocation. As purported by Niles et al. (2022) earlier in this editorial series, data must be disaggregated for the various LGBTQ+ communities to understand the unique inequities and needs of heterogeneous subgroups. Although the collection of SOGI data has become more commonplace, there is still a widespread need to include SOGI questions within population surveys and public health surveillance efforts (Patterson et al., 2017), health data (e.g., electronic medical records and insurance claims; Bosse et al., 2018), and all research (Heck et al., 2017; Pedersen et al., 2022) including within LGBTQ+ research (e.g., collect gender identity in a study of lesbian couples), and research on nurses. Efforts should support knowledge development specifically in under-researched health and wellbeing areas (e.g., Coulter et al., 2014; SGMRO, 2022a), including further elucidation of strengths, resilience, and positive attributes of LGBTQ+ identities (e.g., Riggle & Rostosky, 2014). Unique ethical implications should be considered, however. For example, data must have robust privacy and confidentiality standards, entities collecting data must have nondiscrimination policies in place, and personnel collecting data must be trained on the ethical conduct of research with LGBTQ+ populations (Medina & Mahowald, 2022; Moseson et al., 2020b; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine [NASEM], 2022). As with LGBTQ+ language, data collection best practices may soon be outdated. Current guidance for measuring sex, gender identity, and sexuality includes using language that accurately and precisely identifies LGBTQ+ people, reduces the conflation of sex as a biological variable with gender, improves the quality of data on LGBTQ+ populations, and improves the research experience for LGBTQ+ study participants (NASEM, 2022). There is debate on the utility of allowing multiple or write-in response options to foster inclusion in representation versus forcing a single identity selection to yield sufficient statistical power in data analyses and contribute to understanding. The context should guide the appropriate implementation of multiple versus singular identity response options. We have included example language for SOGI data collection in Table 3 using evidence-based recommendations from leading researchers, clinicians, and LGBTQ+ community members (Federal Interagency Working Group on Improving Measurement of SOGI in Federal Surveys, 2016; InterACT, n.d; Puckett et al., 2020; Reisner et al., 2016; Suen et al., 2020).

Importantly, research should be conducted with, not on, historically oppressed and minoritized communities such as LGBTQ+ people. Community-based participatory research methods can serve as an important tool to center community members and community-based organizations as leaders and leverage their skills, strengths, and solutions on research teams as co-investigators, advisory board members, and co-authors. The specific subgroup identities under study should also be reflected in community engagement efforts (e.g., a study on trans men should include trans men and transmasculine community members in the research process). Academic institutions and funding agencies play an important role in supporting these research methods to allow investigators to overcome structural challenges in meaningful community engagement such as allowing community members to be co-investigators with equal compensation and power to determine what research questions are prioritized (Aguilar-Gaxiola et al., 2022; Ricks et al., 2022). Researchers also play a role in influencing institutions and agencies to support equitable and community-engaged research practices (Lett et al., 2022; Scott et al., 2020). Support and resources for community-engaged research can be found at the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (n.d.) and Engage for Equality (n.d.). Implicit bias embedded within insensitive language may hinder the delivery of person-centered care, particularly for those with multiply marginalized identities, and consequently contribute to adverse health and health care outcomes (Afulani et al., 2021; Altman et al., 2022). Thus, in conjunction with earlier recommendations in this series for working with Latinx and Hispanic populations, practicing culturally respectful communication is an important provision in the delivery of person-centered care (Nava et al., 2022). This is accomplished through centering the person's needs and goals and considering the holistic person instead of focusing on a disease, risk factor, or symptom (Nava et al., 2022). Person-centered and trauma-informed care are necessary and complementary approaches for communities that have experienced marginalization and trauma to promote physical and emotional safety and autonomy, repair distrust, reduce structural heterocisnormativity, and improve health and health care outcomes (McKinnish et al., 2019; McNicholas et al., 2021; Park et al., 2018; Rubashkin et al., 2018). One opportunity to reduce structural heterocisnormativity is to include an organ or anatomical inventory (Deutsch et al., 2013) and a sexual and reproductive health inventory (Ragosta et al., 2021) as opposed to assuming organs and sexual behaviors based on sex assigned at birth and presumptive heterosexuality. By asking or providing a list detailing what organs a person has and has had removed, an organ or anatomical inventory serves three functions: it opens and normalizes a conversation around body parts, allows the assessment of body part names that an individual is comfortable with, and promotes understanding of what preventative screenings or health promotion guidance may be most appropriate to recommend. A sexual and reproductive health inventory collects information pertaining to sexual practices and reproductive goals. A few examples of information to collect include asking if the person is having sex and what body parts interact with that of their sexual partner(s). It is also important to ask about practices used to prevent or promote pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections, depending on the relevancy to the person and their sexual practices. Practicing a clinical assessment with affirming and trauma-informed scripts may be useful in developing fluency in this area (e.g., Hahn et al., 2019; Krempasky et al., 2020; Tillman, n.d.). Other areas where language should be assessed are included in Table 4. Although the diversity of language options and needs should be familiar, it is best practice to mirror the language someone uses (except for some language that is only acceptable for insiders to use) or ask what terms they would like you to use. We highly recommend further education and training to gain a comprehensive understanding of inclusive language considerations and structural changes that address intersectionality and promote person-centered and trauma-informed care within the clinical context (e.g., Bi et al., 2021; Human Rights Campaign, n.d.; Moseson et al., 2020a; Ragosta et al., 2021; Rioux et al., 2022). It is also critical that LGBTQ+ content be included in all levels of nursing and midwifery curricula and other health professions' training programs, as well as be included as part of ongoing continuing education for practicing professionals (Hughes et al., 2022; Sherman et al., 2021b; some resources include Bi et al., 2020, 2021; Bosse et al., 2015; Eliason & Chinn, 2015; Lavender Health, n.d.).

LGBTQ+ people are a growing population with inequitable health outcomes, in part caused by discriminatory, stigmatizing, or outdated language that permeates policies, curricula, research, and clinical practice. Language has immense power to shape our world and lived realities including the power to signal respect, safety, and inclusion—or the opposite. Although the journey of LGBTQ+ language literacy requires humility and continuous engagement, with intentional practice fluency will develop. Moreover, as nurses and midwives, we took an oath to “do no harm.” Thus, each and everyone of us plays a critical role in using language that communicates respect, safety, and inclusion. By doing so, we each take a small step forward in creating an equitable future for all.

Seasonal influenza is of the most globally burdening vaccine-preventable diseases, infecting 3-5 billion people annually and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) resulting in 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide. Vaccination against influenza and all respiratory infections carries greater emphasis in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. With added pressure on healthcare systems due to the coronavirus, Qatar is one country that is keen to emphasise the importance of influenza vaccination to prevent potential co-infection causing severe disease especially in high-risk groups. Currently seasonal influenza vaccines protect against 3 or 4 strains with revised data from the WHO twice yearly due to the changing natures of strains helping to maximise efficacy of the vaccines. It is recommended for specific high-risk groups to be prioritised for vaccination, including pregnant women, the elderly, children above 6 months of age, patients with chronic conditions as well as front line healthcare workers with risk of exposure. However, uptake of the vaccine remains low and contributes significantly to the burden of the disease. Barriers to vaccine uptake can be physical, such as unhealthy lifestyles, psychological, such as perception of disease as low-risk, contextual, such as lack of access to vaccinations, or sociodemographic, such as living alone. Vaccine coverage can be increased by knowledge of these barriers and how to address them. The physical barriers highlight the need to support behavioural change in lifestyle in order to increase vaccine uptake. Psychological barriers, usually due to misconceptions, can be addressed with education through public health campaigns and interactions between health professionals and patients. This education is not just a need for patients but also healthcare workers. It is up to healthcare providers and contractors to find ways of addressing contextual and sociodemographic barriers by increasing access to vaccination whether through transport, or home–care etc. A key barrier of those mentioned to vaccination is a lack of knowledge which needs to be addressed though positive discussions about the health benefits of immunisation as well as the traditional idea of disease-risk prevention. Addressing the above barriers will help to increase vaccine uptake, and produce health-conscientious societies where vaccination becomes a social norm.

BackgroundFor parents, how to manage child discipline is a difficult question in the task of raising a socially, emotionally, and physically mature adult. Negative discipline can be physical or psychological, and can negatively affect child development, mental health, and wellbeing. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of negative disciplinary methods (NDMs) and their associated factors in the West Bank, occupied Palestinian territory, as reported by mothers.MethodsThe survey was conducted in November and December, 2014, to explore the disciplinary methods that mothers used for one of their children (aged 0–12 years) during the previous 12 months. 1195 Palestinian mothers were studied based on a stratified multistage cluster sampling method and using the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) Child Abuse and Screening Tool for Parents (ICAST-P). A scale was built from mothers’ reports on the use of NDMs, with good internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0·75). The dataset was split according to whether the mother used 0–6 NDMs or 7–20 NDMs in the previous 12 months. Bivariate analyses were performed using the chi squared test to compare these two categories in terms of demographic and socioeconomic variables, and exposure to Israeli political violence. Binary logistic regression was performed to check for confounders. The Institute of Community and Public Health and Birzeit University approved the use of the data.FindingsThe mothers were aged between 15 and 55 years. 11·3% of mothers (135 of 1195) were 15–25 years old, 45·4% (541) were 26–35 years old, and 43·2% (515) were 36–55 years old. 52·5% of children (627 of 1195) were male, 34·0% (406) were 0–3 years old, and 66·0% (789) were 4–12 years old. 5·2% of children (62) were the only child, 4·4% of children (53) were the first child, 27·6% (330) were the middle child (a child that is not the first or the last child), and 62·8% (750) were the last child. 45·8% of the mothers and children (547) lived in the north of the West Bank, 23·3% (278) lived in the middle of the West Bank, and 31·0% (370) lived in the south of the West Bank. 5·3% of mothers (63) reported that their homes were bombed or shelled by the Israeli army. 83·8% of mothers (1002) reported using 0–6 NDMs and 16·2% (193) used 7–20 methods. Other demographic and socioeconomic variables collected were not significantly associated with NDMs. Binary logistic regression revealed that females were less likely to be exposed to NDMs than males (OR 0·63, 95% CI 0·45–0·88, p=0·0074), and that children aged 0–3 years were less likely to be exposed to NDMs than children aged 4–12 years (0·50, 0·33–0·76, p=0·0014). Compared with last children, first children (2·84, 1·46–5·51, p=0·0020) and middle children (1·49, 1·02–2·17, p=0·0375) were more likely to be exposed to NDMs. Compared with mothers aged 36–55 years, mothers aged 15–25 years (2·67, 1·47–4·85, p=0·0010) and 26–35 years (1·54, 1·05–2·26, p=0·0289) used more NDMs. Compared with children in the north of the West Bank, children in the south of the West Bank (2·46, 1·66–3·64, p<0·0001) and middle of the West Bank (1·90, 1·24–2·93, p=0·0034) were more likely to be exposed to NDMs. Compared with mothers whose houses were not bombed or shelled by the Israeli army, mothers whose houses were bombed or shelled were more likely to use a higher number of NDMs (2·71, 1·84–1·95, p=0·0012).InterpretationNegative child discipline is prevalent in Palestine and is associated with factors such as the child's gender, their age, their index in the family (whether they are the only child, first, middle, or last child), the mother's age, the district, and the political conditions in Palestine. Effort should be made to help families to understand alternative methods to address child discipline, through education, discussion, and parenting programmes.FundingThis study is part of a larger study of child discipline in Qatar and the occupied Palestinian territory. The study was conceptualised and planned with the funding of Qatar National Research.

Background In 2013, Qatar introduced a national health insurance scheme, called “Seha.” Stage 1 of the scheme covered women aged 12 years and older for health care and maternity services. Stage 2 was launched in 2014, and covered all Qatari nationals for a much broader set of services. In the future, Stages 3 and 4 will extend coverage to all non-Qatari residents within the country as well as visitors. The National Health Insurance Company (NHIC) manages Seha, with a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) contracted to manage provider claims. The Supreme Council of Health (SCH) acts as the scheme’s overall regulator, and is responsible for activities such as specifying coverage and approving pricing. A range of steps was taken to prepare for Seha’s launch. SCH mandated clinical coding using ICD-10AM, and hospitals recruited and/or trained clinical coders to use this system. The Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (AR-DRGs) tool was adopted, and public sector hospitals embarked on the clinical costing of their services. In Stage 1, SCH decided to use a bundled payment method for health care services. AR-DRGs were chosen for pricing acute inpatient care, using 76 AR-DRGs relevant for women and maternity services. A modification of the Australian Tier 2 classification was adopted for specialist medical services, using 9 classes relevant to women’s health. In addition, a primary health classification was adopted based on 4 levels of complexity. Mammography and MRI were unbundled from the specialist and primary care service, but other imaging, laboratory, and pharmacy services were bundled into the price. Although this was not included in Stage 1, previous work had also recommended the adoption of Urgency Related Groups (URGs) classification for emergency care. Stage 1 was implemented with a limited network including both private and public hospitals. The launch of Seha involved providing information to prospective providers and conducting subsequent sessions to assist in operationalizing the price schedule and business rules. Seha’s challenges for Stage 2 included: pricing a much wider range of services than were included in Stage 1; expanding the scheme to a wider range of providers, including “stand alone” providers (i.e. those without the capacity to provide ancillary services); and addressing the limited availability of activity and cost information from the private sector.

Abstract Diabetes is widely prevalent in the Middle East. Its incidence and prevalence are on the rise in the Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) nations. In Qatar, the World Health Organization estimates that diabetes accounts directly for 7% of total deaths, while cardiovascular diseases account for 23% [1], both of which are related to lifestyle factors. Risk factors for diabetes are fairly well established. But it is worrisome that they are becoming more prevalent. However, it is reassuring to know that the disease can be prevented or its onset delayed by adopting healthy life style factors. Examples of these factors include healthy diet and adequate physical activity [2]. The World Health Organization has identified that "Education is a cornerstone of diabetes care and prevention" [2]. Thus, providing education to all segments of society is imperative. It is well recognized that lifestyle habits conducive to good health are formed in childhood and adolescence [3]. Therefore, educating children and adolescents about healthy lifestyles and implementing diabetes prevention programs in primary and secondary schools will yield not only short-term but also long-term benefits. We have, thus, developed a school education program with its target group of secondary school children in the 15-18 year age range. The program will be rolled out in selected Qatari schools, and will provide information to students on topics of importance in the prevention of diabetes. The interactive program will encourage student participation. Outcomes will be measured using Knowledge, Attitude and Practice tools both pre- and post-intervention. Change in knowledge and attitudes will be evaluated through written and oral methods of assessment. We will discuss the program objectives, its format, content and evaluation. Evaluation findings will be presented and discussed. The findings will enable us to determine the effectiveness of the program. References 1. World Health Organization - NCD Country profiles, 2011 2.

Abstract Introduction Poisoning is a major public health issue and a leading cause of admission to the emergency department (ED) worldwide. There is paucity of data describing epidemiology, outcomes, and cost of acute poisoning. Up-to-date information about poisoning pattern is imperative for accurate diagnosis and effective management. This study therefore investigates the epidemiology, poison pattern and associated cost of acute poisoning in Qatar. Method A retrospective review of electronic health records of 397 patients admitted due to poisoning at the ED from January 2015 - December 2019. Demographic characteristics, incidence, clinical characteristics, cause of exposure, outcomes, and cost associated with acute poisoning were included. Frequency and percentages were calculated for categorical variable and mean and SD for continuous variables, relation between sociodemographic characters and poisoning profile was assessed using Chi-square. P-value less than 0.5 was considered statistically significant. A micro-costing approach using the cost of each resource was applied for the cost calculations. Result The incidence of acute poisoning was found to be 178 patients per 100,000 patients. Females (56%), and children below 14 years (44.3%) accounted for the largest proportion. The majority of the exposures were accidental and therapeutic agents (64.2%) were the most common toxic agents. The mean length of stay in the hospital was found to be 1.84 ± 0.81 and most patients (76.6) were discharged within the first 8 hours of the ED admission. A statistically significant difference was found between age groups and type of toxins (χ2 = 23.3, p < 0.001), cause and route of exposure (χ2 = 42.2, p < 0.001) and length of stay (χ2 = 113.16, p < 0.001). Admission to intensive care units had the highest cost expenditure (USD 326,008) while general wards accounted for the least (USD 57,709). Conclusion The study demonstrates unintentional poisoning due to pharmacological agents was common among infants and children. The findings of this study will assist in the development of educational and preventative programs to minimise the exposure to toxic agents. Further studies exploring the impact of medical toxicology services, potential risk factors and post discharge monitoring of poisoning are highly warranted.

<h3>Background</h3> Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) imposes a substantial burden on governments and healthcare systems. Understanding the global pattern and temporal trends of IBD is crucial for initiating more targeted preventative and therapeutic strategies for the disease. This study aimed to determine the geographical variation of IBD incidence from 1990 to 2019. <h3>Methods</h3> Detailed information on IBD during the past three decades from 204 countries and territories was collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) and the number of incident cases were calculated to reflect the incidence patterns of IBD on a global scale. The temporal trend of the estimates was quantified by average annual percent change (AAPC) over the study period using a join-point regression model. <h3>Results</h3> Despite the decreasing trend in ASR from 1990 to 2019 (AAPC = -0.32, 95%CI: -0.39 to -0.26, (IDDF2023-ABS-0026 Figure 1. AAPC in ASR or IBD incidence for 204 countries and territories 1990-2019). Global AAPC in ASR of IBD incidence, 1990-2019), the number of new IBD cases increased globally (AAPC = 1.11, 95%CI: 1.06 to 1.16, (IDDF2023-ABS-0026 Figure 2. AAPC in the number or IBD incident cases for 204 countries and territories 1990 and 2019). Global AAPC in the number of IBD incident cases, 1990-2019). The most remarkable increase in ASR was observed in East Asia (AAPC = 2.48, 95%CI: 2.33 to 2.63), with the highest in Taiwan, China (AAPC = 3.20, 95%CI: 2.68 to 3.73). While the most pronounced increase in IBD incident cases was found in Qatar (AAPC = 8.24, 95%CI: 7.99 to 8.49). When classified by socio-demographic index (SDI), ASR of IBD decreased in high-middle and high SDI regions but rapidly increased in middle SDI regions over time (AAPC = 0.96, 95%CI: 0.87 to 1.05). Regions with low SDI experienced the most rapidly growing IBD incident cases from 2009 to 2019 (AAPC = 3.07, 95%CI: 2.99 to 3.15), especially for Central Sub-Saharan Africa (AAPC = 3.90, 95%CI: 3.82 to 3.99). <h3>Conclusions</h3> The incidence patterns of IBD varied considerably across the world over the past 30 years. We observed an unfavorable trend in several ‘‘high-risk’ countries and regions. Our findings emphasize the need for a geographically specific allocation of healthcare resources to tackle IBD.

BackgroundAn international and global medical education programme can help to develop health professionals' skillsets and can be a career-defining factor during the progression from student to practising physician. Our aim is to analyse migration patterns of medical students for elective exchanges and identify intentions for continued migration. Specifically, our objectives were to determine the most popular countries and specialty types that students in the medical and health professions intend to go for elective exchanges; to assess the different factors that contribute to a student's choice to migrate for an elective; and to assess factors leading to the intent of permanent migration after completion of study at the home institution.MethodsOur research deals with experiential learning in a global health setting through analysis of the trends and patterns of medical students pursuing medical electives worldwide. We used a multilingual online questionnaire, completed by students from 15 different countries across a timeframe of 1 month (April 2018). American, European, Asian, and African universities who are part of the Global Educational Exchange in the Medical and Health professions (GEMx) sent an email with the link to the questionnaire to their medical students. The questionnaire was conducted electronically and participants, who were selected via the school's respective student databases, were asked to complete the survey after their electives had been completed.FindingsWe analysed responses from 363 students from 15 countries (15 from Kenya; 116 Italy; 20 Nigeria; 16 Rwanda; 5 Ireland; 74 India; 53 Egypt; 47 Indonesia; 11 Mexico; and one response each from Israel, Germany, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Qatar, Algeria, and Canada). Country mean ages ranged between 21 years and 25 years; 224 respondents (61·7%) were women. The most popular destination country for an elective was the USA (72 students from 10 countries). The most popular specialty types were surgery (74, 20·4%) and internal medicine (56, 15·4%). Students cited expanded medical training (26 [42·6%]) an enhanced CV (18 [29·5%]), and broadened research opportunities (5 [8·2%]) as the most important motivations for choosing an elective exchange to another country. Of those who intended permanent migration (101 [27·8%]), the most frequently cited reason for this migration was the expansion of opportunities in a desired specialty (41 [40·6%]) while the main factor deterring students from permanent migration was the desire to disseminate the acquired learning to native home country health-care providers and systems (159, 60·4%).InterpretationStudents' elective experiences abroad not only significant steer the course of their careers as medical professionals, but are also crucial in creating a more holistic educational experience when combined with their home institution's curriculum. Global electives are an initiative that all schools should dedicate resources to pursuing. The elective process is vastly scalable and can be applied at medical schools in all regions of the world.FundingNone.

<h3>Background</h3> The Arab region has some of the highest caesarean section rates globally; however, trends and inequalities have not been explored regionally. This study aimed to examine the trends of caesarean section and describe variations in caesarean section by economic status and type of healthcare facility (private/public sector). <h3>Methods</h3> This was a secondary data analysis of the two most recent(2006–2018) demographic and health surveys(DHS) or multiple indicator cluster surveys(MICS) for eight countries in the Arab region (Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Qatar, Tunisia, State of Palestine and Yemen). DHS/MICS are nationally representative household surveys; the sampling frame includes area units across the entire country, and employs a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling procedure, to provide a sample population of women aged 15–49 years who had a live birth in the preceding two years. The outcome was caesarean section at last birth. Temporal trends were calculated using generalised linear models and presented as risk differences(RD) with 95% confidence intervals(95%CI). Caesarean section was disaggregated against household wealth index and type of healthcare facility (private/public sector) and presented using equiplots. Analyses accounted for the complex sampling design and were conducted using STATA(v.15). <h3>Results</h3> In the most recent survey, use of caesarean section ranged from 57.3% of births (95%CI:55.6–59.1%) in Egypt to 5.7% of births (95%CI:5.0–6.6%) in Yemen. Overall, the use of caesarean section has increased across the Arab region with the exception of Jordan, which had no statistically significant change during 2012–2018 shown by an RD of -3.0% (95%CI:-7.4–1.4%). Within all Arab countries, caesarean section use was highest in the richest quintile compared to the poorest quintile, for example in Iraq: 47.6% (95%CI:41.4–54.0%) vs. 27.7% (95%CI:24.5–31.1%), respectively. Caesarean section use was higher in private sector facilities compared to public sector: 70.2% (95%CI:68.2–72.1%) vs. 50.8% (95%CI:47.6–54.1%) in Egypt, and 21.9% (95%CI:18.1–26.1%) vs. 15.7% (95%CI:13.3–18.4%) in Yemen, respectively. Excluding Egypt, there was a larger absolute number of births in public sector facilities compared to private sector facilities. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Variations in the use of caesarean section exist within and between Arab countries, and it was unequally distributed amongst the richest quintiles and private healthcare facilities. The self-reported nature of the data is a notable limitation. The private sector has a prominent role in the observed trends; however, moderate increases in the use of caesarean section within the public sector will result in a larger absolute increase nationally. Urgent policies and interventions are required to address non-medically indicated caesarean sections.

Abstract Background The outbreak of monkeypox was designated a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization on July 23, 2022. There have been more reported 60000 cases worldwide, most of which are in places where monkeypox has never been seen due to the travel of people who have the virus. This research aims to evaluate the Arabic general population on monkeypox disease, fears, and vaccine adoption after the WHO proclaimed a monkeypox epidemic and to compare these attitudes to those of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed in some Arabic countries (Syria, Egypt, Qatar, Yemen, Jordan, Sudan, Algeria, and Iraq) between August 18 and September 7, 2022 to examine the Arabic people perspectives on monkeypox disease, fears, and vaccine adoption and to compare these attitudes to those of the COVID-19 pandemic. The inclusion criteria were the general public residing in Arabic nations and older than 18. This questionnaire has 32 questions separated into three sections: sociodemographic variables, prior COVID-19 exposure, and COVID-19 vaccination history. The second portion assesses knowledge and anxieties about monkeypox, while the third section includes the generalized anxiety disorder (GAD7) scale. Logistic regression analysis were performed to compute the adjusted odds ratios (aOR), and their confidence intervals (95%CI) using STATA (version 17.0) Results A total of 3665 respondents from 17 Arabic countries were involved in this study. Almost two third (n= 2427, 66.2%) of participants expressed more worried about COVID -19 than monkeypox diseases. Regarding the major cause for concern about monkeypox, 39.5% of participants attributed their anxiety they or a member of their family may contract the illness, while 38.4% were concerned about another worldwide pandemic of monkeypox. According to the GAD 7 score, 71.7% of respondents showed very low anxiety toward monkeypox. 43.8% of the participants scored poor levels of knowledge about monkeypox disease. Participants with previous COVID-19 infection showed greater acceptance to receive the monkeypox vaccine 1.206 times than those with no previous infection. A higher concern for the monkeypox than COVID-19 was shown by the participants who perceived monkeypox as dangerous and virulent 3.097 times than those who didn’t. Participants who have a chronic disease (aOR: 1.32; 95%CI: 1.09-1.60); participants worried about monkeypox (aOR: 1.21; 95%CI: 1.04-1.40); and perceived monkeypox as a dangerous and virulent disease (aOR: 2.25; 95%CI: 1.92-2.65); and excellent knowledge level (aOR: 2.28; 95%CI: 1.79-2.90) have emerged as significant predictors. Conclusion Our study reported that three fourth of the participants were more concerned about COVID-19 than monkeypox disease. As well, most of the participants have inadequate levels of knowledge regarding monkeypox disease. Hence immediate action should be taken to address this problem. Consequently, it is crucial to learn about monkeypox and spread information about its prevention.

Bioethics addresses a broad swathe of human enquiry, ranging from the allocation of scarce health resources to cultural sensitivities over reproductive health. Historically an increasing number of nations have created official bodies to provide advice to their executive and legislative branches, and often to the general public, about bioethics (1). Termed National Ethics/Bioethics Committees, such bodies are appointed by ministries of health, education, science and technology, or legislatures to synthesize available evidence and offer recommendations about concurrent issues in bioethics, especially as such issues bear on potential needs to develop national policies and to adopt legislations. Health research has grown substantially in the low- and middle-income countries, including the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) (2), with clinical trial activity in some of its nations tripling between 2008 and 2011 (3). However, indigenous scholarship and expertise are essential when examining the complex debates over how health research is conducted and whether effective oversight can be promoted in resource-limited Member States. Moreover, the notion of ethics in any capacity draws in sensitive matters pertaining to cultural and religious values, and applying western concepts of bioethics in their entirety, may not always be an appropriate course to take. Medical advancements and the emergence of new diseases, as well as the re-emergence of old ones, raise important questions that require ethical considerations. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the recent cholera outbreak in Yemen brought up issues of unregulated interventions; the HIV/AIDS raises issues of equitable access to HIV treatment, testing and counselling; while public health surveillance brings to the fore concerns over informed consent and the provisions of standard of care (4). A regional survey in 2012 revealed that ethical research guidelines existed in some countries, while research ethics guidance was confined to medical professional guidelines in a few more; the remaining Member States refer to international guidelines (5). In 2015, WHO/EMRO addressed the need to scale up bioethics within the EMR and therefore conducted a bioethics mapping survey in order to identify areas of progress, and where progress is required, in the countries of the Region (6). The survey enabled Member States to prioritize needs and develop appropriate strategies that reflect the specific challenges each Member State faces. Advances have been made in the EMR to raise training capacity in research ethics, including courses by WHO Regional Office for Eastern Mediterranean (WHO/EMRO) (7), and United Nations Educational, Cultural, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) (8). In addition, UNESCO has established centers in a number of educational institutions in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, which now offer postgraduate qualifications in ethics and medical ethics (8). The WHO 2013 World Health Report placed great emphasis on research for universal health coverage in Member States, including setting the norms and standards for proper research conduct, and expediting the transition of research findings into practical health policy (9). Maintaining standards of scientific rigour and ethical conduct is paramount for research recommended for WHO funding. Therefore, the EMR Research Ethics Review Committee was established in 2007, and reformulated in 2014 to include external (from Egypt, Islamic Republic of Iran, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and UNESCO) and in-house (WHO/EMRO) members. The Committee ensures that its work remains compatible with international standards such as those set down by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) and UNESCO. In addition, WHO/EMRO is supporting the establishment of regional WHO collaborating centres on bioethics and ethical conduct of health research, first of which currently considered from Pakistan, i. …

December 18 marks the 22nd International Migrants Day and more people than ever are living in a country outside of their country of birth. According to The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) 2022 report, close to 4% of the world's population in 2020 were migrants, three times the estimated number in 1970. Although moving out of necessity or for opportunity has been a longstanding practice, health and general wellbeing are topics frequently overlooked among other geopolitical migration issues. However, with controversy over deaths of migrant workers in Qatar since it won the right to stage the World Cup, questions over migrant rights and access to health care have once again been raised. Migrants are often described as facing a triple burden of infectious diseases, mental health issues, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Chronic cardiometabolic conditions make up a substantial portion of the NCD burden and one cause could be the large numbers of migrants coming from ethnic backgrounds associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors. In 2020, more than 40% of all international migrants were born in Asia, with India being the largest country of origin. A review of NCD burden among migrant groups in Europe, North America, and Australia found that type 2 diabetes was the only condition that is more common in nearly all migrant groups compared with the host populations. Although the right to health should apply to everyone regardless of immigration status, global NCD policies often neglect refugees and migrants. Primary care is the cornerstone for screening, identifying, and managing diabetes but migrant engagement and utilisation with these services is often poor. Barriers to accessing appropriate health care often include difficulties in navigating which medical subsidies and services are available to them, language difficulties, cultural differences, and despite legal rights, a lack of trust in authorities. Research and statistics on migrant health is scarce and the term migrant remains largely undefined, covering a range of individuals regardless of length of stay, legal status, or cause for movement. Subsequently, their health needs are diverse and wide ranging. A qualitative study exploring migrant experiences of living with type 2 diabetes in Sydney, Australia, found that those who spoke Arabic reported a decline in their self-management due to difficulties in affording a healthy diet, feeling homesick, and the trauma of migration itself. In those who spoke Chinese, stress also impeded their ability to manage their condition and led to them not prioritising their health; however, their stress was largely caused by financial worries and losing their support network. This variation of cultural habits and attitudes towards health within migrant groups can be amplified when compared with those in host countries; therefore, it is essential that we fully understand migrant lived experiences if we are to optimise access to appropriate health resources. Relocating to a different residence can often improve the socioeconomic status of migrants and their access to health-care; however, moving from an area of poor resources could also lead to a deterioration in their wellbeing. The healthy migrant effect suggests that migrants have a better health status than natives of the host country, which worsens with increased length of residency. One influential factor could be the major transitions in diet and lifestyle. Diets in many high-income countries, which can be low in fruits and vegetables and high in fat, sodium, and sugar, can lead to weight gain and serious health consequences. In the RODAM study, the prevalence of obesity among Ghanaian migrant men in Europe was up to three times higher than those living in Ghana, which correlated with a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the migrant population. With national health-care systems pushed to their limits and expanding and ageing populations, an increasing burden of potentially avoidable obesity-related conditions will inevitably lead to difficulties in resource management and access to medications and health-care services. Migration is a global reality and the consequences are multifaceted. In addition to the more commonly discussed problems of infectious diseases, poor mental health, and maternal and child health issues, the cardiometabolic health burden in this population is large and growing. Managing and preventing chronic conditions such as diabetes involves adequate screening and regular health-care visits that cannot be fulfilled if the barriers for migrant participation are not overcome and policies are not considerate of the individual migrant experience. The responsibility does not lie with one nation or government body and, as such, a collective global effort is needed to ensure the most vulnerable are not left behind.

From the Editor-In-Chief Health AffairsVol. 36, No. 11: Global Health Policy Global Health PolicyAlan R. WeilPUBLISHED:November 2017Free Accesshttps://doi.org/10.1377/hlthaff.2017.1347AboutSectionsView PDFPermissions ShareShare onFacebookTwitterLinked InRedditEmail ToolsAdd to favoritesDownload CitationsTrack CitationsPermissionsDownload Exhibits TOPICSDiseasesSystems of careDiabetesGlobal healthPrimary careChildren's healthCost reductionNo matter what may divide countries, when it comes to health we have much in common. The burden of disease is shifting, efficiency and quality improvement are shared goals, and workforce challenges abound. This month’s Health Affairs covers a broad range of global health policy topics. As health systems make progress tackling communicable diseases and life expectancy has increased, countries face a rising burden of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Thomas Bollyky and colleagues map the growth of these diseases against each country’s health system functioning. They conclude that “countries that are projected to have the greatest increase in their noncommunicable disease burden as a share of health burden are also ranked lowest (least prepared) in our health system capacity index for noncommunicable diseases,” with African nations particularly at risk. As development assistance has increased dramatically over the past two decades, the risk that those funds will be poorly aligned with recipient countries’ goals has also increased. Melisa Martinez-Alvarez and colleagues examine trends in two dimensions of aid effectiveness—alignment with local strategies and harmonization across donor efforts—for reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health funding. The authors found little improvement between 2008 and 2013, and some worsening in the area of alignment. One factor in the lack of progress was the donor organizations’ perceived need for control and accountability. Improving health requires knowing which illnesses cause people to die. India, like most low- and middle-income countries, had good information on cause of death for only the small minority of people who die in the hospital. Mireille Gomes and colleagues report findings from India’s Million Death Study, which relied upon verbal autopsies to gather information regarding the likely cause of death for people who died at home. Among the many interesting findings are that deaths related to smoking and malaria have been significantly underreported, estimates of HIV-related deaths have been far too high, and there has been a substantial incidence of sex-selection abortions. Poorly managed diabetes can lead to inpatient hospital stays—which could have been avoided with receipt of appropriate primary care. Jianchao Quan and colleagues analyze avoidable admissions from diabetes complications in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and communities outside Beijing. Overall spending and preventable admission rates increased during 2008–13, but significant improvement was observed in Japan and Beijing. The authors’ results “provide empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that a higher number of…outpatient visits in a given year is correlated with a lower likelihood of a diabetes-related avoidable hospital admission in the following year.” Innovation This issue includes papers on the effects of a broad array of innovations. Adriane Wynn and colleagues show the value of community health workers in South Africa. Duncan Maru and colleagues document how a public-private partnership improved maternal, newborn, and child health services in rural Nepal. Aaron Baum and colleagues explain how microfinance institutions can be a mechanism for delivering care in rural Haiti. And Jessica Cohen and colleagues report the results of a randomized controlled trial that nudged pregnant women in Nairobi, Kenya, to deliver in higher-quality facilities. Sharing Lessons Mark McClellan and colleagues apply a framework for accountable care reform to case studies of accountable care models from around the globe. They note the “development of organizational competencies to implement the innovations, alongside payment and other policy reforms that enable the innovations to succeed and be sustained.” Achieving the promise of universal health coverage requires having the workforce to meet the health needs of the population. Arthika Sripathy and colleagues point out that “a system that focuses solely on producing greater numbers of trained health care workers is not enough.” Based upon case studies from Thailand, Brazil, and India, they explain that addressing workforce shortages depends upon providing appropriate incentives through the entire professional education pipeline. In the search for ways to save money, high-income countries have become more interested in innovations developed in resource-constrained settings, sometimes called frugal innovation. Yasser Bhatti and colleagues create case studies of innovations and analyze them for the lessons they yield. Common features of frugal innovations are use of lower-cost settings and providers, improved communication with patients, and the use of simple processes and organizational structures.

As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, concerns are particularly serious in conflict and humanitarian settings. Tackling the pandemic in those countries is challenging due to the fragility of socioeconomic and health systems. Palestine is one of those countries that is facing compounding challenges, instability, fragility, living conditions, poverty, and mobility, all of which are caused by multifactorial etiology. The Pandemic shows triple tragedies; virus (COVID-19 Pandemic), ongoing Israeli occupation (Politics), and Intra-Palestinian divide (Policies). Yet, Palestine’s response to the pandemic is outperforming many countries in the region. The early preventative lockdown measures in the West Bank found effective and not overwhelming the already over-stretched health system. While in the Gaza Strip, the response was slow. Prisoners, labours, besieged people, socioeconomic-disadvantaged classes, and refugees were put at additional high risk. Nonetheless, measures taken were unconsolidated in both regions largely due to the political factors. A little collaboration and inter-agency task forces in preparedness and response was observed, and the mechanisms and governance remain ambiguous. A consolidated and evidence-based nation-wide plan is required, whereby state and non-state actors have a clear and transparent exit strategy. A new thinking approach to promote the public health system and evidence-informed policies in Palestine is an urgent national priority.

The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge and practices associated with pesticide use in an agricultural community in Palestine, and to determine the prevalence of self-reported health symptoms related to pesticide exposure.In this cross-sectional questionnaire study, agricultural farm workers in Nablus district, Palestine, were interviewed on their knowledge and practices of pesticide use. Comparisons of knowledge and practices of pesticide use between various groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test or the Kruskal-Wallis rank test of variance. The program of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15 was used for data analysis.The questionnaire was completed by 381 farm workers. The mean age ± SD of the participants was 38.8 ± 11.8 years. The majority (97.9%) of the participants were male. The mean participant scores for knowledge and safety procedures were 2.8 ± 3.2 out of 8 and 9.8 ± 2.4 out of 15, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation (r = 0.323; P < 0.001) between the knowledge and safety procedure scores. Unsafe behaviors were identified as the storage of pesticide products at home, the preparation of pesticides in the kitchen, inadequate disposal of empty pesticide containers, eating and drinking during pesticide application, and using inadequate protective clothing. The most frequent self-reported toxicity symptoms associated with pesticide use were skin rash (37.5%), headache (37%), excessive sweating (24.9%), and diarrhea (21.3%). There was a strong significant negative correlation (r = -0.83; P < 0.001) between self-reported toxicity symptoms and scores for protective measures.The results of this study indicate that most farm workers in this district need more educational programs regarding the safety and use of pesticides. Legislation promoting the use of safer pesticides is also needed.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is rising in middle income countries. Population based strategies to reduce specific CHD risk factors have an important role to play in reducing overall CHD mortality. Reducing dietary salt consumption is a potentially cost-effective way to reduce CHD events. This paper presents an economic evaluation of population based salt reduction policies in Tunisia, Syria, Palestine and Turkey.Three policies to reduce dietary salt intake were evaluated: a health promotion campaign, labelling of food packaging and mandatory reformulation of salt content in processed food. These were evaluated separately and in combination. Estimates of the effectiveness of salt reduction on blood pressure were based on a literature review. The reduction in mortality was estimated using the IMPACT CHD model specific to that country. Cumulative population health effects were quantified as life years gained (LYG) over a 10 year time frame. The costs of each policy were estimated using evidence from comparable policies and expert opinion including public sector costs and costs to the food industry. Health care costs associated with CHDs were estimated using standardized unit costs. The total cost of implementing each policy was compared against the current baseline (no policy). All costs were calculated using 2010 PPP exchange rates. In all four countries most policies were cost saving compared with the baseline. The combination of all three policies (reducing salt consumption by 30%) resulted in estimated cost savings of $235,000,000 and 6455 LYG in Tunisia; $39,000,000 and 31674 LYG in Syria; $6,000,000 and 2682 LYG in Palestine and $1,3000,000,000 and 378439 LYG in Turkey.Decreasing dietary salt intake will reduce coronary heart disease deaths in the four countries. A comprehensive strategy of health education and food industry actions to label and reduce salt content would save both money and lives.

Burnout among healthcare professionals is one of the key challenges affecting health care practice and quality of care. This systematic review aims to (1) estimate the prevalence of burnout among health care professionals (HCP) in Arab countries; and (2) explore individual and work-related factors associated with burnout in this population.Multiple electronic databases were searched for studies published in English or Arabic from January 1980 to November 2014 assessing burnout (using the Maslach Burnout Inventory; MBI) amongst health care professionals (HCP) in Arab countries.Nineteen studies (N = 4108; 49.3% females) conducted on HCP in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Yemen were included in this review. There was a wide range of prevalence estimates for the three MBI subscales, high Emotional Exhaustion (20.0-81.0%), high Depersonalization (9.2-80.0%), and low Personal Accomplishment (13.3-85.8%). Gender, nationality, service duration, working hours, and shift patterns were all significantly associated with burnout.Within the constraints of the study and the range of quality papers available, our review revealed moderate-to-high estimates of self-reported burnout among HCP in Arab countries that are similar to prevalence estimates in non-Arabic speaking westernized developed countries. In order to develop culturally appropriate interventions, further research using longitudinal designs is needed to confirm the risk factors for burnout in specific HCP settings and specialties in Arab countries.

Starting well before Independence in 1948, and over the ensuing six decades, Israel has built a robust, relatively efficient public system of health care, resulting in good health statistics throughout the life course. Because of the initiative of people living under the British Mandate for Palestine (1922-48), the development of many of today's health services predated the state's establishment by several decades. An extensive array of high-quality services and technologies is available to all residents, largely free at point of service, via the promulgation of the 1994 National Health Insurance Law. In addition to a strong medical academic culture, well equipped (albeit crowded) hospitals, and a robust primary-care infrastructure, the country has also developed some model national projects such as a programme for community quality indicators, an annual update of the national basket of services, and a strong system of research and education. Challenges include increasing privatisation of what was once largely a public system, and the underfunding in various sectors resulting in, among other challenges, relatively few acute hospital beds. Despite substantial organisational and financial investment, disparities persist based on ethnic origin or religion, other socioeconomic factors, and, regardless of the country's small size, a geographic maldistribution of resources. The Ministry of Health continues to be involved in the ownership and administration of many general hospitals and the direct payment for some health services (eg, geriatric institutional care), activities that distract it from its main task of planning for and supervising the whole health structure. Although the health-care system itself is very well integrated in relation to the country's two main ethnic groups (Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews), we think that health in its widest sense might help provide a bridge to peace and reconciliation between the country and its neighbours.

This introductory essay contextualizes the special collection of papers on the pandemic and seeks to map the terrain of extant public health research on Palestine and the Palestinians. In addition, it is a contribution in Palestine studies to a nascent yet propulsive conversation that has been accelerated by Covid-19 on the erasure of structures of violence, including those of settler colonialism and racial capitalism, within the discipline of epidemiology. Using public health as an analytic, this essay asks us to consider foundational questions that have long been sidelined in the public health discourse on Palestine, including the implications for health and health research of eliding ongoing settler colonialism. Rather than ignoring and reproducing their violence, this essay seeks to tackle these questions head-on in an attempt to imagine a future public health research agenda that centers health, and not simply survivability, for all Palestinians.

Objectives Tobacco smoking is on the rise in the Eastern Mediterranean region. In light of limited surveillance of smoking in the region, this study sought to understand the prevalence of cigarette and waterpipe smoking among adults and the factors associated with smoking in Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine (West Bank only). Design, setting and participants Household surveys were conducted with participants over the age of 18 in Lebanon (n=1680), Jordan (n=1925) and Palestine (n=1679) between June and August 2019. A multistage cluster sampling approach with probability-proportional-to-size random selection method was followed in the three countries. Primary and secondary outcome measures Gender-specific prevalence rates for cigarette and waterpipe smoking were estimated. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with current cigarette and waterpipe tobacco smoking. Results The prevalence of cigarette smoking among males and females respectively was 48.6% and 21.5% in Lebanon, 50.4% and 9.1% in Jordan, and 53.4% and 3.1% in Palestine. The prevalence of waterpipe smoking among males and females respectively was 32.7% and 46.2% in Lebanon, 13.4% and 7.8% in Jordan, and 18.0% and 7.9% in Palestine. Cigarette smokers were significantly (p<0.05) more likely to be male, younger and with lower educational attainment across the three countries. Waterpipe smokers were more likely to be young adults across the three countries (p<0.001). They were more likely to be male in Jordan and Palestine, and more likely to be female in Lebanon. Conclusions The high prevalence rates of smoking in Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine are concerning. Continued surveillance is key to monitor smoking patterns and inform stronger tobacco control measures.

This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among a sample of women visiting health care centers in Palestine refugee camps in Jordan. We found that different types of IPV, including physical, emotional, sexual, economic, and control behaviors by the partners were experienced by the participants. This study was among a number of studies that investigated this phenomenon in residents of Palestinian camps. It adds to existing studies in this field, however, as it focuses on the prevalence of the top five types of IPV in these women. Co-occurrence of IPV, that is, experiencing two or more types of partner violence at the same time, was noticed in these women. Experiencing control by one's partner and the presence of different attitudes between men and women toward the use of violence were factors contributing to the occurrence of this phenomenon in these women. National efforts aiming at breaking the cycle of violence should be fostered through media and public awareness campaigns. Changing people's attitudes concerning men's use and women's acceptance of violence should be the aim of these efforts.

Unintended pregnancies can result in poorer health outcomes for women, children and families. Young people in low and middle income countries are at particular risk of unintended pregnancies and could benefit from innovative contraceptive interventions. There is growing evidence that interventions delivered by mobile phone can be effective in improving a range of health behaviours. This paper describes the development of a contraceptive behavioural intervention delivered by mobile phone for young people in Tajikistan, Bolivia and Palestine, where unmet need for contraception is high among this group.Guided by Intervention Mapping, the following steps contributed to the development of the interventions: (1) needs assessment; (2) specifying behavioural change to result from the intervention; (3) selecting behaviour change methods to include in the intervention; (4) producing and refining the intervention content.The results of the needs assessment produced similar interventions across the countries. The interventions consist of short daily messages delivered over 4 months (delivered by text messaging in Palestine and mobile phone application instant messages in Bolivia and Tajikistan). The messages provide information about contraception, target attitudes that are barriers to contraceptive uptake and support young people in feeling that they can influence their reproductive health. The interventions each contain the same ten behaviour change methods, adapted for delivery by mobile phone.The development resulted in a well-specified, theory-based intervention, tailored to each country. It is feasible to develop an intervention delivered by mobile phone for young people in resource-limited settings.

Objectives To investigate the relationships between patient safety culture (PSC) dimensions and PSC self-reported outcomes across different cultures and to gain insights in cultural differences regarding PSC. Design Observational, cross-sectional study. Setting Ninety Belgian hospitals and 13 Palestinian hospitals. Participants A total of 2836 healthcare professionals matched for profession, tenure and working hours. Primary and secondary outcome measures The validated versions of the Belgian and Palestinian Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture were used. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted. Reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha (α). In this study, we examined the specific predictive value of the PSC dimensions and its self-reported outcome measures across different cultures and countries. Hierarchical regression and bivariate analyses were performed. Results Eight PSC dimensions and four PSC self-reported outcomes were distinguished in both countries. Cronbach’s α was α≥0.60. Significant correlations were found between PSC dimensions and its self-reported outcome (p value range <0.05 to <0.001). Hierarchical regression analyses showed overall perception of safety was highly predicted by hospital management support in Palestine (β=0.16, p<0.001) and staffing in Belgium (β=0.24, p<0.001). The frequency of events was largely predicted by feedback and communication in both countries (Palestine: β=0.24, p<0.001; Belgium: β=0.35, p<0.001). Overall grade for patient safety was predicted by organisational learning in Palestine (β=0.19, p<0.001) and staffing in Belgium (β=0.19, p<0.001). Number of events reported was predicted by staffing in Palestine (β=−0.20, p<0.001) and feedback and communication in Belgium (β=0.11, p<0.01). Conclusion To promote patient safety in Palestine and Belgium, staffing and communication regarding errors should be improved in both countries. Initiatives to improve hospital management support and establish constructive learning systems would be especially beneficial for patient safety in Palestine. Future research should address the association between safety culture and hard patient safety measures such as patient outcomes.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS)is increasingly becoming a challenging public health issue in Palestine. The current burden of MetS in the country is unknown. There has been limited research on the prevalence of MetS. This meta-analysis is the first to estimate the population prevalence of MetS and its related factors among adults in Palestine.A PRISMA systematic search appraisal and meta-analysis were conducted. A systematic literature search of PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar was conducted in December 2014 up to February 2015. Generic, methodological and statistical data was extracted from the eligible studies which reported MetS prevalence. A random effect meta-analysis was conducted on crude MetS prevalence rates. Heterogeneity was assessed by Cochran's Q and I2 tests. Subgroup analyses were also performed according to the predefined criteria.The literature search yielded a total of 49 studies. Eight papers were included in the final analysis with sample size ranging 163 to 992. In addition, 2937 cases with MetS among people aged 15 years or more were estimated in Palestine between 2001 and 2014. There was high heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 95.8% p<0.001). The prevalence of MetS was 37.0% among adult Palestinians population ranging from 17 to 59.5%. Subgroup analysis did not show source of heterogeneity based on subject's health status and MetS criteria.Our meta-analysis clearly demonstrates that MetS is highly prevalent (37.0%) among Palestinian adults. The high prevalence of MetS in Palestine should be seriously considered and planners should take steps to reduce it.

Information about the rate of smoking and factors associated with initiating and maintaining the behaviour is scarce in Palestine. The aim of this study was to explore the rate of and attitudes towards smoking among An-Najah National University students. During spring 2010, a questionnaire adopted from the Global Health Professionals Survey and the Global Youth Tobacco Survey was administered to 954 randomly selected full-time students. Overall 34.7% of the study sample were cigarette or waterpipe smokers, and this rate was higher among males than females (52.7% versus 16.5%). In logistic regression analysis, sex (male), type of college (humanities), older age and higher family income were predictors of current smoking status. Smokers had more negative attitudes to banning smoking in public areas on campus and to education about the harmful effects of smoking. Antismoking programmes with special attention to males and students in humanities are badly needed.

Aims: To assess university students' extent of smoking, knowledge of smoking health risks, and awareness of existing national anti-smoking laws. Methods: Self-administered questionnaire was employed across 7 universities (1,104 students, equal proportions of males and females) located in Gaza Strip, Palestine. Results: About 55% of participants reported ever smoking, 31% were current cigarette smokers, and 36% were 'strictly' (only) narghile (water pipe) smokers. Mean age of smoking initiation was 17±3.15 years. Smokers had less knowledge of smoking associated health risks than nonsmokers. Students' knowledge of existing anti-smoking laws was generally low (11.3-25.5%), and significantly more smokers had knowledge about existing laws (ban of advertisement of smoking, ban of smoking in public places, and ban of selling cigarettes to minors) than non-smokers. About 81% of current smokers tried to quit smoking at least once during their life, 53% felt ready to quit smoking if cessation assistance was provided, 17% were not ready to quit, and 30% were reluctant/felt unsure if they were ready to quit. Most students (94.3%) reported that there were no smoking cessation centres in Palestine, or did not know if such centres existed. Males were associated with almost all categories of smoking (e.g. smoking both cigarettes and narghile, or smoking narghile only). Conclusions: There is a lack of knowledge about the existing national anti-smoking legislation among university students in Gaza, Palestine. Smoking cessation centres also seem non-existent in Gaza. Multi-level interventions and actions are required by policy makers, educators and non-governmental agencies to prevent smoking among university students in Gaza, and to educate them on tobacco cessation counselling, on the dangers of tobacco use, and about effective stress management strategies to help them to cope with stressors. Smoking cessation interventions are required to address both cigarette and narghile use. Efforts need to be invested in ensuring compliance with legislation and for follow-up activities to enforce the anti-smoking laws through coordinated actions across ministries and departments.

To identify the risk factors for brucellosis in Palestine, to estimate their association with the disease and to recommend appropriate prevention measures.An unmatched case-control study was conducted in the West Bank of Palestine. A total of 450 subjects (150 cases and 300 controls) chosen from all districts were investigated. Data were collected during the year 2000. Subjects were interviewed using a standard questionnaire acquiring demographic and risk factor information. Laboratory results were also recorded on the questionnaire. Data were analyzed calculating the odds ratio and the confidence intervals for the studied variables. A logistic regression model was used to explore the association between disease status and the studied variables.Several variables were significantly associated with brucellosis involving both direct and indirect transmission such as consumption of unpasteurized milk and dairy products, herding, lambing and others.Most of the risk factors for being infected with brucellosis are modifiable. Efforts should be directed to the prevention of this major public health problem in Palestine utilizing the information obtained in this study.

Research conducted on conditions responsible for the greatest disease burden should be given the highest priority, particularly in resource-limited settings. The present study aimed to assess the research output in relation to disease burden in Palestine and to identify the conditions which are under- or over-investigated, if any.We searched PubMed and Scopus for reports of original research relevant to human health or healthcare authored by researchers affiliated with Palestinian institutions and published between January 2000 and December 2015. We categorised the condition studied in included articles using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) taxonomy. Data regarding burden of disease (percentage of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)) was obtained from the Palestine profile in the GBD study. We examined the degree of discordance between the observed number of published articles for each disease/condition with the expected number based on the proportion of disease burden of that disease/condition.Our search identified 2469 potentially relevant records, from which 1650 were excluded following the screening of titles and abstracts. Of the remaining 819 full-text articles, we included 511 in our review. Communicable (infectious) diseases (n = 103; 20%) was the condition with the highest number of published studies. However, cancer (n = 15; 3%) and chronic respiratory diseases (n = 15; 3%) were the conditions with the lowest number of published studies. Research output was poorly associated with disease burden, irrespective of whether it was measured in terms of DALYs (rho = -0.116, P = 0.7) or death (rho = 0.217, P = 0.5). Cardiovascular disease, cancer, and maternal and neonatal deaths accounted for more than two-thirds of the total deaths in Palestine (67%), but were infrequently addressed (23%) in published articles.There is evidence of research waste measured by a mismatch between the health burden of certain diseases/conditions and the number of published research reports on those diseases/conditions in Palestine. A national research priority-setting agenda should be developed to meet the local community's need for quality evidence to implement independent and informed health policies.

The prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking is increasing worldwide, despite evidence indicating its adverse health effects. Women and young people seem more likely to be choosing waterpipe tobacco smoking over cigarettes. The objective of this qualitative study was to understand better whether and why waterpipe smoking is a more acceptable form of tobacco use than cigarettes for women in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, and to understand whether the strategies used by multi-national corporations to attract women to cigarette smoking were perceived to be relevant in the context of waterpipe tobacco use. Focus groups (n = 81) and in-depth interviews (n = 38) were conducted with adults in Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. Discussions were thematically analyzed and recurrent themes identified. One of the themes which emerged was the negative image of women smoking waterpipes. Moreover, the sexual allure conveyed through waterpipe smoking as well as waterpipe tobacco smoking as a symbol of emancipation was illustrated. The latter was mainly expressed in Lebanon, in contrast with Egypt where traditional gender roles depict women smoking waterpipes as disrespectful to society. Understanding the social aspects of waterpipe tobacco smoking is crucial to planning future interventions to control waterpipe tobacco smoking among women and in society at large.

Lead (Pb) both in paints and children's Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) toys is a major public health concern which has attracted attention of the international community. Concentrations of Pb both in lead-based paints and children's PVC toys have been assessed through various studies across the globe. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to summarize the results reported in these studies and provide some comprehension on their implications to human health for law enforcement as well as for awareness raising to the general public. Highlights on identified gaps have been provided to pave ways for further research interventions in order to establish comprehensive information on the subject. Regardless of regulatory limits on the content of lead, both in paints and children's PVC toys existing in different countries in the world, some of the reviewed articles have revealed significant levels of lead in these two items far above the permissible limits. High lead levels in paints have been recorded in China (116,200 ppm), Cameroon (500,000 ppm), South Africa (189,000 ppm), Tanzania (120,862.1 ppm), Uganda (150,000 ppm), Thailand (505,716 ppm) and Brazil (170,258.4 ppm) just to mention a few. Lead poisoning cases in children have been reported in several countries including France, Morocco, South Africa and United States. Countries where high levels of lead in children's PVC toys have been recounted include; China (860,000 ppm), South Africa (145,000 ppm), United States (22,550 ppm), Thailand (4,486.11 ppm), Palestine (6,036 ppm) and India (2,104 ppm). Awareness raising among parents is vital to impart them with knowledge on the matter so that they can take strenuous measures to protect their children from lead poisoning emanating from playing with toys and paint dust. Law enforcement on phasing out lead-based paints and control of lead content in children's PVC toys worldwide is also highly recommended.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and assess the key performance indicators (KPIs) for the maintenance of public hospital buildings in the Gaza Strip. Design/methodology/approach – Four KPIs were identified and evaluated in this paper: building performance indicators (BPI), maintenance efficiency indicators (MEI), annual maintenance expenditure (AME) and urgent repair request indicator. Twenty-one buildings in 13 public hospitals in Gaza Strip Governorate were taken as the sample of this study. Findings – The results indicated that the European Gaza hospital has the highest BPI score (81.66) and the Dorra hospital has the lowest BPI score (68.26). The findings revealed that the average AME for all hospitals was $13.8/m2 which is considered to be below the standard level of expenditure. The MEI for Gaza public hospital buildings was found to be equal to 0.3 which indicated low level of maintenance expenditure. Research limitations/implications – Unavailability of certain data, lack of maintenance documentation and comparison difficulty between the Gaza Strip and Israel due to political, cultural and financial situation were some of the limitations of this study. Practical implications – The Ministry of Health (MoH) can utilize the results of this study and consider it as benchmarking for maintenance management in public hospital buildings. This can improve the current maintenance situation which ultimately will improve the health-care situation in Palestine. The Palestinian MoH should look for external funding to increase the AME, as well as aim at increasing the MEI. Social implications – The health-care situation in Palestine will be improved. Originality/value – This study is considered the first study to identify and assess the KPIs in the Gaza Strip. KPIs will assist the MoH to compare the actual and estimated performance in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and quality of workmanship.

A growing global interest in patient safety culture has increased the development of validated instruments to asses this phenomenon. The aim of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and its appropriateness for Arab hospitals.The 7-step guideline of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was used to translate and validate the HSOPSC. A panel of experts evaluated the face and content validity indexing of the Arabic version. Data were collected from 13 Palestinian hospitals including 2022 healthcare professionals who had direct or indirect interaction with patients, hospital supervisors, managers and administrators. Descriptive statistics and psychometric evaluation (a split-half validation technique) were then used to test and strengthen the validity and reliability of the instrument.With respect to face and content validity, the CVI analysis showed excellent results for the Arab context (CVI = 0.96). As to construct validity, the 12 original dimensions could not be applied to the Palestinian data. Furthermore, three of the 12 original dimensions were not reliable (α <0.6). The split-half technique resulted in an optimal 11-factor model.Our study is the first study in the Arab world to provide an evaluation of the HSOPSC using Arabic data from Palestine. The Arabic translation of the HSOPSC comprises an 11-factor structure showing good validity and acceptable reliability. Despite the similarity between the Arab factor structure of the HSOPSC and that of the original one, and taking into account that our version may be applied in Arabic hospitals, there is a need for caution in comparing HSOPSC data between countries.

Patient safety has been considered the heart of healthcare quality. This study aims to explore relationships between patient safety culture and adverse event rates at unit levels in Palestinian hospitals, and provide insight on initiatives to improve patient safety. A retrospective, exploratory design was used. Patient safety culture was measured by the Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) developed by Westat. Adverse events were measured using the Global Trigger Tool (GTT), developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. GTT data was collected from patient records discharged May – August 2009 and the HSOPSC data collected in 2010. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize departments’ results. Spearman’s rho coefficient was used to determine relationships between safety culture and adverse events. The results showed that –as expected- there exists relationships between safety culture and the rate of adverse events at departmental level. Almost all of the relationships tested were in the expected direction. 8 (57 %) of the 15 relationships were statistically significant (p < 0.05, p < 0.01), indicating that departments with a more positive patient safety culture had lower rates of adverse events in their department. Our study confirms the idea that a more positive patient safety culture is associated with lower adverse events in hospitals at the departmental levels in Palestine. Further analysis should include a more representative sample to examine the causal relationship between patient safety culture and adverse events incidents.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has made tobacco use prevention a primary health issue. UNRWA provides education, health, relief and social services in five fields of operation: Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The purpose of this paper is to compare tobacco use among Palestine refugee students and students in the general population of the five fields of operation.Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) data were collected from representative samples of students in UNRWA schools in each of the five fields of operation in 2008. For comparison, previous data are included from GYTS conducted in Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and the West Bank (2005) and in Jordan and Syria (2007). Data are presented for three groups of students: refugees attending schools within and outside the camps and non-refugee students in the general population.In each of the five fields of operation, there was no difference in current cigarette smoking, current use of shisha, or susceptibility to initiate smoking among the three groups of students. Cigarette smoking and susceptibility was lowest in the Gaza Strip and highest in the West Bank; shisha use was lowest in the Gaza Strip but over 30% in Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank. Exposure to secondhand smoke in public places was greater than 60% in almost all sites. Exposure to indirect advertising was almost 10%.The similarity in tobacco use among the three groups of students suggests that a coordinated plan between the UNRWA and the governmental authority could be most beneficial in reducing the burden of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality.

Health systems evidence can enhance policymaking and strengthen national health systems. In the Middle East, limited research exists on the use of evidence in the policymaking process. This multi-country study explored policymakers’ views and practices regarding the use of health systems evidence in health policymaking in 10 eastern Mediterranean countries, including factors that influence health policymaking and barriers and facilitators to the use of evidence. This study utilized a survey adapted and customized from a similar tool developed in Canada. Health policymakers from 10 countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen) were surveyed. Descriptive and bi-variate analyses were performed for quantitative questions and thematic analysis was done for qualitative questions. A total of 237 policymakers completed the survey (56.3% response rate). Governing parties, limited funding for the health sector and donor organizations exerted a strong influence on policymaking processes. Most (88.5%) policymakers reported requesting evidence and 43.1% reported collaborating with researchers. Overall, 40.1% reported that research evidence is not delivered at the right time. Lack of an explicit budget for evidence-informed health policymaking (55.3%), lack of an administrative structure for supporting evidence-informed health policymaking processes (52.6%), and limited value given to research (35.9%) all limited the use of research evidence. Barriers to the use of evidence included lack of research targeting health policy, lack of funding and investments, and political forces. Facilitators included availability of health research and research institutions, qualified researchers, research funding, and easy access to information. Health policymakers in several countries recognize the importance of using health systems evidence. Study findings are important in light of changes unfolding in some Arab countries and can help undertake an analysis of underlying transformations and their respective health policy implications including the way evidence will be used in policy decisions.

The increasing number of obesity and overweight cases in developing countries, especially among women, requires serious attention because of its effects on the health care system and the quality of life. Few studies have been conducted in the Gaza Strip to determine obesity and overweight prevalence and the associated factors. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of obesity and overweight cases in relation to socio-demographic factors among mothers aged 18–50 years in the Gaza Strip-Palestine from June 2012 to September 2012. Mothers childbearing age 18–50 years (n = 357) were selected using a cross-sectional multistage sampling methodology from three different geographical locations, namely, El Remal urban area, Jabalia refugee camp, and Al Qarrara rural area. The weight and height of the mothers were measured, and their body mass indexes (BMI) were computed. The mothers were categorized according to the criteria of World Health Organization (WHO) for BMI. The criteria categorize mothers as overweight if they have a BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2 and obese if their BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2. Obesity and overweight rates in urban area, refugee camp, and rural area were found to be 57.0%, 66.8%, and 67.5%, respectively. Moreover, BMI increased with age, adjusted b = 0.39; 95% CI (0.31, 0.48); p = < 0.001, whereas BMI was lower in low-income subjects, adjusted b = −1.59, 95% CI (−2.74,-0.44), p = 0.007. Housewives were more susceptible to obesity than employed woman, adjusted b = −2.76, 95% CI (−5.33,-0.19), p = 0.036. However, the study found no association among BMI level and household size, geographical location, educational level, and family assistance. The results showed that obesity and being overweight are highly prevalent among women in the Gaza Strip. Independent predictors of obesity in the population studied were increasing age, high income, and housewives. This finding is an important baseline for the monitoring of obesity and overweight cases in the future and highlights the need for community-based programs to combat this problem in Palestine.

Within the proliferation of studies identified with global mental health, anthropologists rarely take global mental health itself as their object of inquiry. The papers in this special issue were selected specifically to problematize global mental health. To contextualize them, this introduction critically weighs three possible genealogies through which the emergence of global health can be explored: (1) as a divergent thread in the qualitative turn of global health away from earlier international health and development; (2) as the product of networks and social movements; and (3) as a diagnostically- and metrics-driven psychiatric imperialism, reinforced by pharmaceutical markets. Each paper tackles a different component of the assemblage of global mental health: knowledge production and circulation, global mental health principles enacted in situ, and subaltern modalities of healing through which global mental health can be questioned. Pluralizing anthropology, the articles include research sites in meeting rooms, universities, research laboratories, clinics, healers and health screening camps, households, and the public spaces of everyday life, in India, Ghana, Brazil, Senegal, South Africa, Kosovo and Palestine, as well as in US and European institutions that constitute nodes in the global network through which scientific knowledge and certain models of mental health circulate.

Abstract Background In Palestine, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a rapidly growing health concern. This study evaluated knowledge, attitude, and practice of patients with T2DM with regard to their disease. The study also investigated association and correlation between knowledge, attitude, and practice with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Predictors of higher knowledge, positive attitude, and good practice were also identified. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in primary healthcare facilities frequently visited by patients with T2DM across the West Bank of Palestine in the period of October 2018 to January 2019. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used to determine knowledge, attitude and practice of patients with T2DM with regard to their disease. Results Out of 300 patients invited, 220 (73.3%) patients responded. In this study, the median age was 57.0 years (51.0, 65.0), the median time elapsed since diagnosis with T2DM was 7.0 years (4.0, 14.0), the median fasting blood glucose was 150.0 mg/dL (128.8, 180.0), the median postprandial glucose was 230.0 mg/dL (200.0, 270.0), the median HbA 1c was 7.8% (7.0, 8.53), and the median BMI was 28.8 kg/m 2 (25.5, 33.1). The median knowledge score was 6.0/13.0 (4.5/13.0, 7.5/13.0), the median attitude score was 3.0/4.0 (2.0/4.0, 4.0/4.0), and the median practice score was 3.0 (1.0/5.0, 4.0/5.0). Having university education was strongly associated with having higher knowledge scores ( p -value = 0.001). Additionally, having attended an educational program on diabetes was moderately associated with higher practice scores ( p -value = 0.026). Conclusions Findings of this study highlighted the need for appropriately designed interventions to increase knowledge about T2DM among patients with low educational level. Well-designed educational programs might promote healthy practice among patients with T2DM. Future studies are still needed to assess if such interventions could be effective in improving health outcomes and quality of life of patients with T2DM in Palestine.

Argument We examine the creation and functioning of the “Pasteur Institute in Palestine” focusing on the relationship between biological science, health policy, and the creation of a “new society” within the framework of Zionism. Similar to other bacteriological institutes founded by colonial powers, this laboratory was developed in response to public health needs. But it also had a political role. Dr. Leo Böhm, a Zionist physician, strived to establish his institution along the lines of the Zionist aspiration to develop a national entity based on strong scientific foundations. Even though the institute enjoyed several fruitful years of operation, mainly during World War I, it achieved no lasting national or scientific importance in the country. Böhm failed to adapt to new ways of knowledge production, scientifically and socially. The case study of the “Pasteur Institute in Palestine” serves as a prism to view the role of the public health laboratory in the history of Palestine with its ongoing changes of scientific, organizational, and political context.

Background: COVID-19 is thought to be the most significant public health threat the modern world has encountered. Health care workers (HCWs) face enormous pressure due to work overload, negative emotions, exhaustion, lack of contact with their families, and risk of catching the infection and death. Aim: This study aims to assess the level of stress perceived by HCWs and possible associated factors during the COVID-19 outbreak in Palestine. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 430 frontlines HCWs was conducted using an online self-reported questionnaire. HCWs’ stress from the COVID-19 outbreak, factors that increase stress, and the activities that reduced stress were assessed. Chi-square test was used to compare between a categorical variable and the study outcome; associations are presented as odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (95% CI) with 0.05 significance level. Al-Najah National University institutional review board granted ethics approval. Results: Most respondents (74.0%) reported high-stress levels during the outbreak. Fear of transmitting the virus to family was the most stressful factor (91.6%). HCWs who did not have training on the outbreak response were more likely to have high-stress levels (OR = 2.7 [95% CI = 1.7-4.4], P < .001). Those with high stress reported being disappointed (OR = 2.4 [95% CI = 1.5-3.6], P < .001), and strongly considered taking sick leave (OR = 3.9 [95% CI = 1.9-7.9], P < .001). Conclusion: HCWs are under tremendous stress, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the psychological impact of the outbreak on HCWs and the activities that mitigate the stress is crucial to guide policies and interventions that can maintain psychological well-being.

The Hepatitis B (HB) infection is a significant health problem in Palestine, which is categorized as an HB virus moderate endemic area, with the HB carrier rate ranging from 2-6%. The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors of Hepatitis transmission in the northern areas of Palestine in order to help prevent and control this prevalent health problem. A case–control study was implemented to achieve the study objectives. One hundred HB virus seropositive cases and another 100 seronegative controls were included in the study. Univariate analysis and a logistic regression model were performed to examine probable risk factors of acquisition of HB infections. Univariate analysis showed that HB case-patients were more likely to report having a history of blood transfusion, dental visits, hospitalization, Hejamat, sharing shaving equipments, intravenous drug use, or living abroad than controls were. The logistic regression model revealed a history of dental visits to be the most significant risk factor, (P value <0.001, OR 5.6; 95% CI 2.8-11.1). The presence of these risk factors emphasizes the need for both increasing the uptake of HB vaccine and implementing risk-targeted public health education. Development and enforcement of appropriate infection control guidelines for dental care services are important to prevent HB virus transmission as well.

Measuring patient safety culture can provide insight into areas for improvement and help monitor changes over time. This study details the findings of a re-assessment of patient safety culture in a multi-site Medical City in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Results were compared to an earlier assessment conducted in 2012 and benchmarked with regional and international studies. Such assessments can provide hospital leadership with insight on how their hospital is performing on patient safety culture composites as a result of quality improvement plans. This paper also explored the association between patient safety culture predictors and patient safety grade, perception of patient safety, frequency of events reported and number of events reported.We utilized a customized version of the patient safety culture survey developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The Medical City is a tertiary care teaching facility composed of two sites (total capacity of 904 beds). Data was analyzed using SPSS 24 at a significance level of 0.05. A t-Test was used to compare results from the 2012 survey to that conducted in 2015. Two adopted Generalized Estimating Equations in addition to two linear models were used to assess the association between composites and patient safety culture outcomes. Results were also benchmarked against similar initiatives in Lebanon, Palestine and USA.Areas of strength in 2015 included Teamwork within units, and Organizational Learning-Continuous Improvement; areas requiring improvement included Non-Punitive Response to Error, and Staffing. Comparing results to the 2012 survey revealed improvement on some areas but non-punitive response to error and Staffing remained the lowest scoring composites in 2015. Regression highlighted significant association between managerial support, organizational learning and feedback and improved survey outcomes. Comparison to international benchmarks revealed that the hospital is performing at or better than benchmark on several composites.The Medical City has made significant progress on several of the patient safety culture composites despite still having areas requiring additional improvement. Patient safety culture outcomes are evidently linked to better performance on specific composites. While results are comparable with regional and international benchmarks, findings confirm that regular assessment can allow hospitals to better understand and visualize changes in their performance and identify additional areas for improvement.

There is little information about meal patterns and food consumption of adolescents in Palestine. The objective of this study was to describe the association between sociodemographic factors and food intake, and meal patterns among Palestinian school adolescents (12–15 year) in North Gaza Strip. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2002 comprising 944 subjects in 10 schools in Gaza city, Jabalia village and Jabalia refugee camp. Self-administered questionnaires were filled in by students and parents to obtain data on frequency of meals, food intake and sociodemographic characteristics. High household socioeconomic status (SES) was associated with the increased number of meals and the increased intakes of many nutritious foods such as; animal food items, fruits and vegetables and dairy foods. The percentage of adolescents having breakfast daily of high and low SES was 74.5% vs 55% in boys and 65.6% vs 45% in girls. The percentage of girls with refugee status who had lunch was higher (90.2%) compared to the local citizen girls (83.9%), (p = 0.03). Girls were less likely to skip daily lunch (OR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.36–0.87, p = 0.01) compared to boys. Risk of skipping lunch was three times higher among adolescents living in the village compared to Gaza well-off area (OR = 3.3, 95% CI = 1.72–6.31, p < 0.001). Adolescents who were having lunch daily were less likely to skip breakfast or dinner. Only 11.6% of boys and 16.2% of girls consumed fruits daily. In multivariate analysis, SES was positively associated with food frequency intake scores in both genders. Boys from the refugee camp and the village had a significant higher consumption of fruits and vegetables than boys from high and low income area in Gaza City, while it was the opposite in girls. Meal skipping is common, particularly among those of low SES and the intakes of many nutritious foods such as animal food items, fruits and vegetables and dairy foods seem to be low among adolescents of low SES. The results of this study could be used as an important base-line for future monitoring of the nutritional situation of adolescents.

Objectives In April 2017, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) released the electronic Maternal and Child Health Handbook, the e-MCH Handbook application. One of the first mobile health (m-Health) interventions in a refugee setting, the application gives pregnant women and mothers access to educational information and health records on smartphones. This study investigated factors associated with the dissemination and implementation of m-Health in the refugee setting. Setting and participants A cross-sectional study was conducted in 9 of 25 UNRWA health centres for Palestine refugees in Jordan. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed for 1 week to pregnant women and mothers with children aged 0–5 years. Outcome measures The outcomes were whether participants knew about, downloaded or used the application. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine factors associated with application download and usage. Results 1042 participants were included in the analysis. 979 (95.5%) had a mobile phone and 862 (86.9%) had a smartphone. 499 (51.3%) knew about, 235 (23.8%) downloaded and 172 (17.4%) used the application. Having other mobile applications (OR 6.17, p<0.01), staff knowledge of the application (OR 11.82, p<0.01), using the internet as a source of medical information (OR 1.63, p=0.01) and having internet access at home (OR 1.46, p=0.05) were associated with application download. The age of the husband was associated with application usage (OR 1.04, p=0.11). Conclusions Though m-Health may be a promising means of promoting health in refugees, multiple barriers may exist to its dissemination and implementation. Those who regularly use mobile applications and get medical information from the internet are potential targets of m-Health dissemination. For successful implementation of a m-Health intervention, health staff should have thorough knowledge of the application and users should have access to the internet. Husband-related factors may also play a role.

This study describes the patterns of energy drinks consumption and associated factors among University students in Palestine. A cross-sectional study was conducted at An-Najah National University in Nablus, West Bank-Palestine. The study included 279 students of three colleges: Medicine, Physical Education and Engineering. Data were collected using a 25-item self-administered questionnaire. Energy-drink consumption was significantly higher among male students, as 80.5% of energy-drink users involved in this study was males. It was higher among those with higher monthly expenditure. The most common cause for using energy drinks among users was to stay awake at night (68.6%), while most of those who never tried energy drinks in their lives didn’t do so because they thought energy drinks are unhealthy. About two thirds (64.4%) of the participants didn’t know the main constituents of energy drinks and about half (53.6%) stated that they knew that there might be side effects associated with the use of energy drinks. More than half of the current users (56.8%) consumed less than 1 bottle/day. Energy-drink usage is common among university students in Palestine and higher among males and those with higher monthly expenditure. Campaigns should be encouraged in order to spread awareness about the contents and possible side effects of energy drinks.

Timely presentation and diagnosis of cervical cancer (CC) are crucial to decrease its mortality especially in low- and middle-income countries like Palestine. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of Palestinian women about CC warning signs and determine the factors associated with good knowledge.This was a national cross-sectional study conducted between July 2019 and March 2020 in Palestine. Stratified convenience sampling was used to recruit adult women from hospitals, primary healthcare centers, and public spaces of 11 governorates. A translated-into-Arabic version of the validated CC awareness measure (CeCAM) was used to assess women's knowledge of 12 CC warning signs.Of 8086 approached, 7223 participants completed the CeCAM (response rate = 89.3%). A total of 7058 questionnaires were included in the analysis: 2655 from the Gaza Strip and 4403 from the West Bank and Jerusalem (WBJ). The median age [interquartile range] for all participants was 34.0 [24.0, 42.0] years. Participants recruited from the WBJ were older, getting higher monthly income, and having more chronic diseases than those recruited from the Gaza Strip. The most frequently identified warning sign was 'vaginal bleeding after menopause' (n = 5028, 71.2%) followed by 'extreme generalized fatigue' (n = 4601, 65.2%) and 'unexplained weight loss' (n = 4578, 64.9%). Only 1934 participants (27.4%) demonstrated good knowledge of CC warning signs. Participants from the Gaza Strip were slightly more likely than participants from the WBJ to have a good level of knowledge. Factors associated with having good knowledge included having a bachelor or postgraduate degree, being married, divorced, or widowed as well as knowing someone with cancer.The overall awareness of CC warning signs was low. Educational interventions are needed to increase Palestinian women's awareness of CC warning signs.

Hospitals and health centers provide a variety of healthcare services and normally generate hazardous waste as well as general waste. General waste has a similar nature to that of municipal solid waste and therefore could be disposed of in municipal landfills. However, hazardous waste poses risks to public health, unless it is properly managed. The hospital waste management system encompasses many factors, i.e., number of beds, number of employees, level of service, population, birth rate, fertility rate, and not in my back yard (NIMBY) syndrome. Therefore, this management system requires a comprehensive analysis to determine the role of each factor and its influence on the whole system. In this research, a hospital waste management simulation model is presented based on the system dynamics technique to determine the interaction among these factors in the system using a software package, ithink. This model is used to estimate waste segregation as this is important in the hospital waste management system to minimize risk to public health. Real data has been obtained from a case study of the city of Nablus, Palestine to validate the model. The model exhibits wastes generated from three types of hospitals (private, charitable, and government) by considering the number of both inpatients and outpatients depending on the population of the city under study. The model also offers the facility to compare the total waste generated among these different types of hospitals and anticipate and predict the future generated waste both infectious and non-infectious and the treatment cost incurred.

Scenario analysis suggests that by 2050 the population of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza will grow from its current 10 million to between 14 and 28 million. The scenarios developed are compared to available water resources and assessed for their viability. With all scenarios, except very high population growth in the context of inadequate co-operation between Israel and Palestine, the water resource needs of the entire population can be met. The analysis suggests that water need not be an obstacle to peace or economic development in the region.

The Stone (limestone) and Marble (trade name) Industry (SMI) is one of the most important and active industries in Palestine, as being economically and financially rewarding and greatly beneficial to the public and private sectors. This industry, which employs about 15,000–20,000 workers, contributes 20–25% to the total industrial revenues of Palestine, and 4.5% to the total gross national product. Despite its benefits, SMI has adverse effects on public health, the environment, biodiversity, water systems (both surface and underground), green cover, and ecosystems in general, as it is considered one of the most air- water-, soil-, and noise-polluting sources. To achieve the purpose of this research paper, available data and literature are analyzed, evaluated, and used, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the status of SMI, in light of sustainable development. This relates to various perspectives, including limestone geology, geopolitics, socioeconomics, culture, technology, legislation, as well as climate change, acid rain, and harmful effects of the SMI scale on public health and safety, environmental well-being, and challenges facing the industry. Two field studies, carried out in northern and southern West Bank, dealing with particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM7, PM10, and TSP) and environmental pollution, were analyzed, and their results were compared with each other, as well as with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines. It is found that both West Bank’s areas are heavily polluted, resulting in considerable adverse impacts on public health, the environment, and green cover. Based on the findings of this paper, it is recommended that SMI should properly adhere to WHO guidelines and international standards to make the industry safer and more durable and sustainable, with fewer negative impacts on public health, the environment, and green cover.

BackgroundPostpartum depression (PPD) is a major public health concern because it adversely affects maternal health and children's physical and mental development. The prevalence of PPD in Arab countries is higher than the worldwide prevalence. Additionally, refugee women are more likely to develop PPD than women in the general population, but little research of refugee women in Arab countries is available. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) have provided primary health care to Palestine refugees since 1950 and began the Mental Health and Psychosocial (MHPSS) programme in Jordan in 2017 to enhance the psychosocial and social wellbeing of Palestine refugees. We assessed the prevalence of PPD and examined associated factors among Palestine refugee women living in Amman, Jordan.MethodsThis cross-sectional descriptive study was done between April 21 and May 21, 2018. Eligible participants were Palestine refugee mothers who had given birth 3–16 weeks previously and were attending any of five UNRWA health centres in Amman that were launching the MHPSS programme. Data were gathered in face-to-face structured interviews that included the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) to assess PPD, the Maternal Social Support Scale to assess levels of perceived social support, and a structured questionnaire about sociodemographic, obstetric or paediatric, psychological, and social factors. Participants with scores greater than 12 in the EPDS were classified as having depressive symptoms. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with depressive symptoms. The study protocol was approved by the Department of Health, UNRWA Headquarters, Amman, Jordan, and Nagasaki University. Each participant provided written informed consent.Findings251 women participated in the study, with a mean age of 27·2 years (range 18–42, SD 5·43). 123 (49%) women were classified as having PPD. Logistic regression showed that factors associated with PPD were perceived low levels of social support (adjusted odds ratio 3·76, 95% CI 1·92–10·93) and experiencing stressful life events (one event 3·92, 1·51–9·91; two events 5·77, 2·33–14·27; and three or more events 14·8, 5·23–41·89).InterpretationThe prevalence of PPD among Palestine refugee women in Amman was higher than that reported in a previous study of the general childbearing population (women aged 18–45 years) in Irbid in Jordan (22%, Mohammad et al. Midwifery 2011; 27: e238–45) but similar to findings in the West Bank (47%, Quandil et al. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2016; 16: 375) and in Syrian refugee women in Jordan (49·6%, Mohammad et al. Res Nurs Health 2011; 41: 519–245). Our findings highlight the need to address this disorder in Palestine refugee mothers. Periodical PPD screening, raising awareness about PPD, providing information to husbands and families, and building a support system for mothers could alleviate the risk of PPD. Future studies should examine whether factors of antenatal depression, which were not assessed in this study, correlate with having PPD to clarify the need for early intervention in mothers.FundingNagasaki University.

The importance of a health research system (HRS), namely an instrument for developing and enabling health systems, is increasing, particularly in developing countries. Assessing the perceptions of system performers is a necessary part of system analysis, which seeks to recognize a system’s strengths and limitations aiming towards improvement. This study assesses the perceptions of policy-makers, academicians and experts regarding the HRS concept and its importance to generate insights for system strengthening. In Palestine, HRS is just emerging, helping to address the many public health-related challenges faced by the country. The study was implemented from January until July 2016, targeting three sectors, namely relevant government institutions, schools of public health, and major local and international health agencies. Data was collected through 52 in-depth interviews and six focus group discussions (FGDs) with policy-makers, academics, directors and experts. Participants and institutions were selected based on stated criteria and peer review. Data were translated, transcribed, checked and then imported to a software program (MAXQDA 12) for thematic and content analysis. A total of 104 experts participated, wherein 52 were interviewed and 52 participated in the six FGDs. The HRS concept, as defined by WHO, was conceptualized differently among participants with unclear delineations between various components. Inconsistencies appeared when participants attempted to conceptualize HRS in broader contexts, though HRS goals and functions were sufficiently delineated. The majority of participants agreed that HRS correlates with notions of ‘improvement’ and recognized HRS ‘as a significant gain’. Neglect of HRS was perceived as a big loss. The study revealed that the level of understanding of HRS among health experts in Palestine is inadequate and not sufficiently conceptualized for its application. Findings also underlined the need to establish a central governance coordination body that promotes HRS understanding, awareness and culture as an enabler for HRS strengthening.
