Abstract Objective: Concerns about the side effects of available coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines have posed a significant barrier to vaccination in several countries. Accordingly, the current study aimed to assess the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination and its predictors among the Lebanese population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2021 among Lebanese adults from the 5 main Lebanese districts. The questionnaire included demographic data, questions about COVID-19 experience, COVID-19 anxiety syndrome scale, and attitudes regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. Data were analyzed on SPSS, version 23. Statistical significance was considered at a P value ≤ 0.05 with a 95% CI. Results: Of 811 participants, 45.4% (95% CI: 41.9-48.9) accepted taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Choices were negatively affected by concerns about the side effects of the vaccine and positively affected by anxiety and seeking COVID-19 news very closely. Moreover, if the COVID-19 vaccination was a requirement for traveling, participants would be more willing to get the vaccine. Conclusions: Since 54.7% of the studied Lebanese adults were either unwilling or undecided to get the vaccine and COVID-19 news was retrieved mainly from the Ministry of Public Health online site and the local news, the existing targeted campaign should be enforced toward encouraging vaccination to reach herd immunity against COVID-19 and revealing the safety of the vaccines.

Recently, severe period poverty has had a dramatic spread throughout Lebanon as a result of several crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, the Beirut explosion, and the economic collapse. Period poverty is the lack of access to menstrual hygiene materials, comfortable environments, and adequate education about menstrual health. Due to the great implications of period poverty on Lebanese women's health, our study aims to explore stakeholder's perspective on the Lebanese public health policy regarding menstrual health, the evolving challenges it faces in the context of the current economic collapse, and to suggest recommendations for solutions.Our study is qualitative in nature, where data collection was done via online semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from the public and private sectors of the Lebanese healthcare system in addition to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and physicians. Data were then analyzed based on themes and subthemes that emerged from the interviews.Nine stakeholders were interviewed: five from NGOs, two obstetrics and gynecology physicians, and two public sector representatives. The challenges to menstrual health were subcategorized into previously existing and new ones. The consequences of poor menstrual health were tackled on the mental, physical, and social levels. Stakeholders suggested both short-term and long-term recommendations. Short-term recommendations included decreasing the monetary burden by subsidizing menstrual products or via a coupon system. Long-term recommendations included proper education on multiple levels, cooperation between key players in the private and public sectors, and encouragement of local production to ensure future sustainability.Menstrual health is a neglected public health issue in Lebanon, causing detrimental effects on girls and women residing in the country. Proper planning and collaboration between the private and public sectors are required to address this human rights issue.

Abstract Background Lebanon has been gripped by an economic crisis and the local currency has lost more than 90% of its value; besides, a lack of consistent electricity supply which has contributed to rising concerns about food safety especially among households. This study aimed to assess Lebanese society knowledge, attitude and practice towards food safety during the economic crisis. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Lebanon between September 5 and January 30, 2021. Data was collected through an online survey that included information on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and practice of Lebanese consumers towards food safety. Two multivariate regression models were performed on the knowledge and practices as a dependent variable. 95% confidence interval was calculated. All tests were two-sided and statistical significance was set at p -value < 0.05. Results The majority of participants had good knowledge regarding food safety (74.9%) while more than half of the respondents adopted good preventive practices (62.8%). Multivariate regression of factors associated with good knowledge regarding food safety showed married participants (adjusted OR = 2.1; p < 0.0001), who had university degree and above (adjusted OR = 2.0; p < 0.0001), and who had income < 1,500,000 LBP (adjusted OR = 1.7; p < 0.0001) had a significantly good knowledge score compared to their counterparts. Finally, participants aged more than 35 years old and who had income higher than 1,500,000 LBP (adjusted OR = 1.8; p < 0.0001 and adjusted OR = 1.9; p = 0.01 respectively) were positively associated to good practice towards food safety. Conclusion This study offers useful insights into the knowledge, attitude and practices of Lebanese consumers towards food safety during the economic crisis.

A high salt consumption was observed among the Lebanese population and the need to address this health behavioral problem was imperative. The aim of this behavioral intervention, part of the Lebanese Action for Salt and Health (LASH), was to assess the knowledge, behavior, and attitude of Lebanese patients’ pre- and post-nutrition intervention in the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) at AUB-MC.24 CCU patients (14 males; 10 females), from different age groups coming from various Lebanese regions were approached. A pre- and post-intervention questionnaire was filled to assess their baseline knowledge about salt and any knowledge gain attained after the teaching intervention. Instructive tools were prepared and used such as presentations, pamphlets, posters, shopping guides, and a video dedicated to the campaign. Moreover, this awareness intervention extended to include a total of 49 nurses, food service employees, and diet aid personnel who attended a session about the importance of salt reduction on health.Participants were aware of the relationship between salt intake and health; however, lack of knowledge was observed concerning the salt content of different food items, the importance of food labels, and the knowledge about the maximum recommended daily allowance of salt intake among other knowledge needs. A tremendous improvement was perceived post teaching intervention.This behavioral intervention has gained numerous positive feedbacks and was extremely useful for patients. It undoubtedly served as a knowledge refresher for various nurses and medical staff alike. The success of this intervention encourage conducting a similar activity on all the hospital floors to ensure improvement in nutritional knowledge and adoption of healthy diets for optimal lifestyle.

Rationale: Household food insecurity (HFI) is a serious public health concern among both Lebanese and non-Lebanese residents. Adverse mental health issues have also been reported among food insecure households in addition the physical and nutritional problems. Nevertheless, food insecure families tend to adapt different coping mechanisms to mitigate the effects of FI among their children. This study aims to investigate the correlation between HFI and maternal depression and detect the different coping mechanisms adopted by the mothers.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a major public health concern, as it is the most common birth defect and the leading cause of death in the first year of life if adequate surgical interventions were not provided. Unfortunately, in Lebanon, a country that has been assailed by devastating social and economic crises, many specialized Lebanese pediatric heart surgeons fled abroad to secure more stable careers. This has led to the death of many newborns with CHDs. Public health authorities must find urgent solutions for this national tragedy that is projected to last for years.

Abstract In Lebanon, tobacco use by adolescents remains a problem and is higher than among adults. This study sought to assess the experimentation of tobacco smoking practices among adolescents in Lebanon, and further to link health promotion at school-level (measured with the Hat Questionnaire) to the smoking behaviour at students-level (measured with the HBSC questionnaire). We relied on a cross-sectional observational study, conducted in 50 schools across Lebanon. The students' ages ranged from 11 to 18 years old (6th to 12th grade). They filled-in a confidential, anonymous self-questionnaire in class. In parallel, the school administration filled in the assessment questionnaire for health promotion. STATA Software was used for statistical analysis.7133 students were included (mean age 15.24±2.00 years). Overall, 24.5% had ever experimented cigarette smoking alone, boys more than girls (31.95% vs. 19.14%; p &lt; 0.001), mainly from Beirut (33.62%; p &lt; 0.001) and with poor health perception (29.12% vs. 19.87%; p &lt; 0.001). Overall, 33.98% had ever used water-pipe alone, again more boys (40.34% vs. 29.88%; p &lt; 0.001), from Beirut (39.55%, p &lt; 0.001), and with poor health perception (39.48% vs. 28.93%; p &lt; 0.001). Finally, 22.28% experimented both cigarettes and water-pipe. Around 70% of the involved schools offered health-related courses in their curricula. 72 % of them included interventions on the harm of smoking but not as an integral part of the curriculum. Less than half of them had developed plans to improve health promotion and review data to ensure the effectiveness of their programs. This alarming rate of use of tobacco products constitutes a major public health issue for Lebanese adolescents that needs urgent intervention. Further analysis will focus on the school-level questionnaires. Already our results will serve to foster the reinforcement of health promoting schools in Lebanon by the ministry of Education, in line with international recommendations.

Abstract Background Socioeconomic status (SES) is a critical multifactorial determinant of health and plays a significant role in shaping an individual’s health outcomes. While a composite scale has been proposed to measure SES in children, to our knowledge, limited composite scales were developed for adults in different contexts, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and valid SES measure to elucidate the relationship between SES and health in this population. Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a composite scale that measures the socioeconomic status in Lebanon and assess its correlates in a socioeconomic crisis context. Methods An online study was carried out between October and November 2022 across all Lebanese regions. Snowball sampling was used to enroll 448 adults living in Lebanon through a questionnaire created on Google Forms and shared by WhatsApp to a first sample from all geographic areas. Results The developed composite scale (SES-C) was found to be reliable and valid. It was based on several aspects of socioeconomic status, i.e., participant education level, family head education level, perceived social class, not being in debt, not receiving financial help, crowding index, participant work status, family head work status, monthly household income, and financial well-being. Furthermore, high SES was significantly associated with married status, older age, alcohol consumption, the absence of chronic disease, easy access to healthcare, private insurance coverage, and the number of rooms in the house in the bivariate analysis. In the multivariable analysis, high SES was significantly associated with age (ORa-1.13; p = 0.011) and easy access to healthcare (ORa = 7.81; p = 0.001) and inversely associated with chronic disease (ORa = 0.17; p = 0.002). Similar results with lower magnitude were found for moderate SES. Conclusion The study successfully developed and validated a composite scale (SES-C) for measuring the socioeconomic status in Lebanon, taking into account the complexities of the Lebanese context. The scale was found to be reliable and valid, and its results showed significant correlations with various factors such as older age, lower risk of chronic disease, and easy access to healthcare.

Abstract Background Insufficient physical activity is one of the leading mortality risks worldwide for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Physiotherapists (PT) are core healthcare professionals who play a major role in the prevention of disease complications and in inspiring a healthy lifestyle. To identify challenges in the promotion of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) in Lebanon, a survey was conducted among PT and physiotherapy students. The aim was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of CR in Lebanon. Results The response rate was 46.1% ( N = 322). Results show that 24.5% of respondents have good to excellent knowledge about CR. More than 60% of the respondents indicate possible barriers to starting a CR program, and one of two respondents identify the absence of skills as a main barrier. Findings highlight the importance of the role of PT as a mediator to increase a healthy lifestyle among patients and to promote the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and pulmonary diseases in the country. Conclusions and recommendations Our results support the evidence and clinical guidelines that PT play a major role by increasing the participation of patients in CR. A cost-effective CR program needs to be covered by the private and public system in Lebanon.

Background: The increase in medication use and expansion of the pharmaceutical industry has led to an increase in hazards, errors and adverse events associated with medication use. In Lebanon, medication safety reporting by pharmacists is lacking due to the absence of an official reporting system.Objective: The objective of the Order of Pharmacists of Lebanon (OPL) was to engage pharmacists in reporting the adverse drug reactions by creating an efficient tool for this purpose.Methods: The scientific committee at the OPL worked on designing a reporting tool for adverse drug reactions (ADRs).Results: An electronic platform was created, and several training sessions were conducted for professionals who would be involved in helping community or hospital pharmacists in launching the platform. The form was tuned based on the findings of the Community pharmacists, hospital pharmacists and the general population questionnaires about medication safety culture, to fit the needs of the practice and to be comprehensive and aligned with international validated standards.Conclusion: Pilot testing is ongoing and regular continuing education sessions and sensitization campaigns are planned, in parallel to the official launching of the project in collaboration with the MOPH. This program has important implications in terms of public health, since knowledge and attitudes are viewed as potentially modifiable factors and their improvement is expected to decrease underreporting; the OPL is also hoping to improve the patient safety culture in Lebanon.

Between crisis and opportunity, old age has many faces in Lebanon. While old age was first seen as a time of wisdom, the current trend accentuated by migration and the economic crisis sets a challenge for the Lebanese elder; they may be left behind unless something is done in all communities at a national level. In this short communication, we attempt to broaden the scope of thinking about training programs to target population-shift and create a true change. We reflect on our results as an intermediate outcome of public health interventions. We suggest that it may be worthwhile to evaluate population-shifts further and base the success of an intervention on measures of Health Related Quality of Life through the response-shift created by such national public health programs.

A nation’s licensing criteria and regulations are the most basic of policies that ensure children’s safety (Gormley, 1997); when these regulations are being met, a level of quality at the very least is being maintained. Thus, given the proportion of children who spend significant portions of their day in settings outside their immediate family context, it may be fairly accurate to say that the main aim of public regulation of childcare centres is to ensure that children's rights are respected and their safety and well-being is maintained as a priority in their daily experience at the childcare center. Considering this value given to quality in early childcare settings, the following study explores the meaning that policymakers and other stakeholders give to quality in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in Lebanon. The question is “how is quality defined by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and other stakeholders as seen through the licensing requirements for childcare centres in Lebanon. The study is explored through a series of semi-structured interviews and through document analysis of the licensing policy provided by the Ministry of Public Health in Lebanon. The data could possibly serve as an evidence based document about the quality of early childcare centres, that could also potentially activate a discussion about quality of education for the years 0 to 3.

Objectives This study aimed to assess dietary intake and lifestyle habits followed during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, as well as the level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), among a sample of the Lebanese population. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted during the government-enforced lockdown. A validated, online, questionnaire was used to collect information about dietary and lifestyle habits. The Mediterranean diet adherence screener (MEDAS) was used to assess adherence to the MD. Results A total of 1684 participants responded to the survey. Their mean age was 23.92 ± 7.62 years, and 70.4% were females. Approximately a third of the participants reported that their dietary habits did not change and 42.3% acknowledged that their eating habits deteriorated during the lockdown. Participants smoked less and slept more during the lockdown compared to before it. Approximately 19.2% of the sample reported low adherence to the MD whereas 63.9% and 16.9% described moderate and high adherence respectively. Only age was significantly associated with higher MD adherence. Conclusion Dietary intake and MD adherence were suboptimal during the COVID-19 lockdown among the sample of the Lebanese population. It is critical that the Lebanese government implements public health programs in order to promote awareness about the importance of adhering to a healthy lifestyle and making appropriate dietary and lifestyle choices.

HIV remains one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity among women of reproductive age; given the risk of vertical transmission to the fetus, timely prevention, monitoring and management are imperative (Melaku et al. [2014]. Causes of death among females-investigating beyond maternal causes: A community-based longitudinal study. BMC Research Notes, 7(1), 629. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-0500-7-629). Most HIV studies in Lebanon focus on men who have sex with men, people diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections, intravenous (IV) drug users, and people infected by blood transfusion products Ministry of Public Health [2017]. National AIDS Control Program in Lebanon. https://www.moph.gov.lb/en/Pages/2/4000/aids#/en/Pages/2/4000/aids; Shaheen [2014]. Around 3,750 HIV/AIDS cases in Lebanon. The Daily Star. https://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2014/Dec-02/279570-around-3750-hivaidscases-in-lebanon.ashx). We conducted a retrospective review of women who delivered at a tertiary academic hospital in Beirut between January 2016-Decemeber 2017 to assess prenatal HIV screening practices. In total, 1500 charts were randomly selected and reviewed: 137 (9%) women were screened for HIV, 2 (1.5%) tested positive. Odds rations were calculated for screening in relation to religion, parity, previous abortions, and mode of delivery: none were significant. No one was tested for Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia; 1250 (93.8%) were tested for Hepatitis B, 27 (1.9%) for Hepatitis C, 7 (0.5%) for HSV and, 74(5.3%) for Syphilis. Barriers to screening may include: Lack of consensus on mandated screening policy, HIV stigma, physician and patient prejudice and misconception of risk and, financial barriers as health insurance does not cover HIV screening.

In Lebanon, the nationwide vaccination against COVID-19 was launched in February 2021 using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and prioritizing elderly people, persons with comorbidities, and healthcare workers. Our study aims to estimate the post-introduction vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in preventing COVID-19 hospitalizations among elderly people ≥75 years old in Lebanon. A case-control study design was used. Case patients were Lebanese, ≥75 years old, and hospitalized with positive PCR results during April-May 2021, and randomly selected from the database of the Epidemiological Surveillance Unit at the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). Each case patient was matched by age and locality to two controls. The controls were hospitalized, non-COVID-19 patients, randomly selected from the MOPH hospital admission database. VE was calculated for fully (2 doses ≥14 days) and partially vaccinated (≥14 days of the first or within 14 days of the second dose) participants using multivariate logistic regression. A total of 345 case patients and 814 controls were recruited. Half were females, with a mean age of 83 years. A total of 14 case patients (5%) and 143 controls (22%) were fully vaccinated. A bivariate analysis showed a significant association with gender, month of confirmation/hospital admission, general health, chronic medical conditions, main income source, and living arrangement. After adjusting for a month of hospital admission and gender, the multivariate analysis yielded a VE of 82% (95% CI = 69-90%) against COVID-19-associated hospitalizations for those fully vaccinated and 53% (95% CI = 23-71%) for those partially vaccinated. Our study shows that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is effective in reducing the risk for COVID-19-associated hospitalizations of Lebanese elderly people (≥75 years old). Additional studies are warranted to explore VE in reducing hospitalizations for younger age groups, as well as reducing COVID-19 infections.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to healthcare workers (HCWs) around the world. The healthcare system in Lebanon was already under pressure due to economic instability and political unrest before the pandemic. This study aims to explore the impact of COVID-19 and the economic crisis on HCWs’ experiences of workplace violence in Lebanon. Methods A qualitative research design with an inductive approach was employed to gather data on workplace violence through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) from HCWs in Tripoli Governmental Hospital (TGH), a governmental hospital in North Lebanon. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling. The interviews were conducted in Arabic, recorded, transcribed, and translated into English. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 27 employees at the hospital participated in the six FGDs, of which 15 females and 12 males. The analysis identified four main themes: (1) Types of violence, (2) Events witnessed, (3) Staff reactions to violence, and (4) Causes of violence. According to the interviews conducted, all the staff members, whether they had experienced or witnessed violent behavior, reported that such incidents occurred frequently, ranging from verbal abuse to physical assault, and sometimes even involving the use of weapons. The study findings suggest that several factors contribute to the prevalence of violence in TGH, including patients’ financial status, cultural beliefs, and lack of medical knowledge. The hospital’s location in an area with a culture of nepotism and favoritism further exacerbates the issue. The staff’s collective response to dealing with violence is either to submit to the aggressor’s demands or to remove themselves from the situation by running away. Participants reported an increase in workplace violence during the COVID-19 pandemic and the exacerbated economic crisis in Lebanon and the pandemic. Conclusion Interventions at different levels, such as logistical, policy, and education interventions, can help prevent and address workplace violence. Community-level interventions, such as raising awareness and engaging with non-state armed groups, are also essential to promoting a culture of respect and zero tolerance for violence.

The Knowledge about the use of counterfeit medicines in Lebanon is still very limited. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of awareness of counterfeit medicines among the Lebanese population and the harm associated with their consumption. A cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire survey has been applied where a semi-structured survey questionnaire was distributed, between June 2017 and May 2018, among 750 participants from 98 Lebanese areas to assess their awareness regarding counterfeit medicines. Seven hundred and four participants completed the questionnaire. 55.4% purchased medicines regularly. The main sources of medicines were pharmacies (52.6%), government clinics (16.3%) and private clinics (8.7%). The most common purchased medicines were lifesaving ones (80%). In the majority of cases (71.9%), participants could not identify the manufacturer country. Overall, 46.2% of the participants were aware of counterfeit medicines. 5.4% of the participants experienced self-reporting adverse effects, among which 89.5% of cases were reported to pharmacists or other authorities. Despite the risk, 4.7% of participants were willing to buy a potential counterfeit medicine. In fact, 56. 4% of the participants associated low harm level with the use of counterfeit medicines. Despite their awareness of counterfeit drugs-associated risks, the majority of participants tend to buy them again. Informative public health campaign and health professionals training, to prevent counterfeit medicines-associated harms, should be implemented.

The World Health Organization has often reiterated its recommendations for the prevention of COVID-19, however, the success of these measures largely depends on public knowledge and attitudes.This study assessed the relationship between knowledge, attitude, behaviour and preventive measures for COVID-19 infection in a Lebanese population.This cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2020 using the snowball sampling technique and an online self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire had 4 parts targeting sociodemographic characteristics; medical history; knowledge, attitude and practices (preventive measures and behaviours related to COVID-19); and mental health variables such as psychological distress. Two models were derived using multivariable binomial logistic regression to optimize the picture of COVID-19 correlates.Our sample comprised 1119 adults. Being older, female, a regular alcohol consumer, waterpipe smoker, having low level of education, low family income, and having contact with a COVID-19 patient correlated with increased odds of ever having been diagnosed with COVID-19. Participants who had ever been diagnosed with COVID-19 had a significantly better knowledge and a higher risky practice scale [adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 1.49; 95% CI 1.27-1.74; P < 0.001; and ORa = 1.04; 95% CI 1.01-1.08; P = 0.024, respectively].The most important predictors of COVID-19 infection appear to be generally well-known among the general population, however, their knowledge and adherence to preventive measures should be continuously re-evaluated. This study highlights the need for greater awareness to improve precautionary behaviours among the public.دراسة مقطعية عن الاتجاهات والمعلومات والسلوكيات والتدابير الوقائية المتعلقة بعدوى كوفيد-19 في لبنان.فؤاد صقر، أنّا معلوف، إليسا مسالم، ألين عيسى، جيسيكا نعمة، مها حطيط، ميرا هليهل، باسكال سلامة.كثيرًا ما كررت منظمة الصحة العالمية التأكيد على توصياتها للوقاية من كوفيد-19، غير أن نجاح هذه التدابير يعتمد اعتمادًاكبيرًا على معرفة عموم الناس ومواقفهم.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم العلاقة بين المعلومات والاتجاهات والسلوكيات والتدابير الوقائية المتعلقة بكوفيد-19 في أوساط السكان اللبنانيين.أُجريت هذه الدراسة المقطعية في المدة ما بين سبتمبر/ أيلول وأكتوبر/ تشرين الأول 2020 باستخدام أسلوب كرة الثلج لأخذ العينات، واستبيان يُكمِله المشاركون عبر الإنترنت بأنفسهم. وتضمَّن الاستبيان 4 أجزاء تستهدف الخصائص الاجتماعية السكانية؛ والسوابق المرضية؛ المعلومات والاتجاهات، والممارسات (التدابير الوقائية والسلوكيات المتعلقة بكوفيد-19)؛ ومتغيرات الصحة النفسية مثل الضائقة النفسية. واستُخلص نموذجان باستخدام الانحدار اللوجستي المتعدد المتغيرات ذي الحدين، لتحسين صورة العوامل المرتبطة بكوفيد-19.تتكون العينة التي أُجريت عليها الدراسة من 1119 بالغًا. ويرتبط ما يلي باحتمالية مرتفعة لتشخيص الإصابة بكوفيد-19: كبر السن، وكون الشخص من الإناث، وتعاطي المُسكرات بانتظام، وتدخين النرجيلة، وتدنِِّّي مستوى التعليم، وانخفاض دخل الأسرة، ومخالطة المصابين بكوفيد-19. وكان المشاركون الذين سبق تشخيص إصابتهم بكوفيد-19 يتمتعون بمعلومات أفضل كثيرًا، ويتَّبعون ممارسات أكثر خطورة [نسبة الأرجحية المعدَّلة = 1.49؛ فاصل ثقة 95٪ 1.27–1.74؛ القيمة الاحتمالية < 0.001؛ ونسبة الأرجحية المعدَّلة = 1.04؛ فاصل ثقة 95٪ 1.08–1.01؛ القيمة الاحتمالية = 0.024، على التوالي].يبدو أن أهم مُنبئات الإصابة بكوفيد-19 معروفة عامةً في أوساط عموم السكان، إلا أنه ينبغي إعادة تقييم معلومات السكان والتزامهم بالتدابير الوقائية باستمرار. وتسلِّط هذه الدراسة الضوء على الحاجة إلى إذكاء الوعي لتحسين السلوكيات الاحترازية في أوساط عموم الناس.Étude transversale des connaissances, de l'attitude, du comportement et des mesures de prévention de l’infection par la COVID-19 au Liban.L'Organisation mondiale de la Santé a souvent réitéré ses recommandations pour la prévention de la COVID-19, mais le succès de ces mesures dépend en grande partie des connaissances et des attitudes du public.La présente étude évaluait le lien entre les connaissances, l'attitude, le comportement et les mesures de prévention de l'infection par la COVID-19 au sein d'une population libanaise.Cette étude transversale a été menée entre septembre et octobre 2020 à l'aide de la technique d'échantillonnage en boule de neige et d'un questionnaire auto-administré en ligne. Le questionnaire comprenait quatre parties ciblant les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, les antécédents médicaux, les connaissances, l'attitude et les pratiques (mesures de prévention et comportements liés à la COVID-19) ainsi que des variables de la santé mentale telles que la détresse psychologique. Deux modèles ont été dérivés à l'aide de la régression logistique multivariable binomiale afin d'optimiser le tableau des corrélats de la COVID-19.Notre échantillon comprenait 1119 adultes. Le fait d'être plus âgé, d'être une femme, un consommateur régulier d'alcool, un fumeur de pipe à eau, d'avoir un faible niveau d'éducation, un faible revenu familial et d'avoir un contact avec un patient atteint de COVID-19 était corrélé à une probabilité accrue d'avoir déjà reçu un diagnostic de COVID-19. Les participants ayant déjà reçu un diagnostic de COVID-19 avaient une connaissance significativement meilleure et une échelle de pratique à risque plus élevé [odds ratio ajusté (ORa) = 1,49 ; IC à 95 % 1,27-1,74 ; p < 0,001 ; et ORa = 1,04 ; IC à 95 % 1,01-1,08 ; p = 0,024, respectivement].Les facteurs prédictifs les plus importants de l'infection COVID-19 semblent généralement bien connus par la population générale, mais leurs connaissances et leur respect des mesures de prévention devraient être réévalués en permanence. La présente étude souligne la nécessité d'une plus grande sensibilisation afin d'améliorer les comportements de précaution au sein du public.

Abstract Introduction In Lebanon, the nationwide vaccination against COVID-19 was launched in February-2021 using Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and prioritizing elderly, persons with comorbidities and healthcare workers. Our study aims to estimate the post-introduction vaccine effectiveness (VE) of Pfizer-BioNTech in preventing COVID-19 hospitalization among ≥75 years in Lebanon. Methods A case-control study design was used. Cases were Lebanese, ≥75 years and hospitalized with positive PCR result during April-May 2021. Cases were randomly selected from the COVID-19 database of the Epidemiological Surveillance Unit(ESU) at the Ministry of Public Health(MOPH). Each case was matched by age and locality to 2 controls. Controls were hospitalized, non-COVID-19 patients with negative PCR result, randomly selected from the MOPH hospital admission database. VE was calculated for fully and partially vaccinated, using multivariate conditional logistic regression analyses. Results 345 cases and 814 controls were recruited. Half were females, with a mean age of 83 years. 14 cases(5%) and 143 controls(22%) were fully vaccinated. Bivariate analysis showed significant association with: gender, month of confirmation/admission, general health, chronic medical conditions, main income source and living arrangement. After adjusting for month of admission and gender, multivariate analysis yielded a VE of 82% (95%CI = 69%-90%) against COVID-19 associated hospitalization for those fully vaccinated and 53% (95%CI = 23%-71%) for those partially vaccinated (≥14 days of first or within 14 days of second dose). Conclusions Our study showed that Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is effective in reducing risk for COVID-19– associated hospitalization in Lebanese elderly(≥75 years). Additional studies are warranted to explore vaccine effectiveness in reducing hospitalization in younger age groups, as well as in reducing covid-19 infections.

The movement to reduce tobacco use has been gathering pace in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), as governments aim at implementing legislation to encourage populations to turn away from tobacco consumption and avoid the associated health risks. Indeed, within the Region it was in 2007 that Egyptian cardiologist Prof. Hamdi El Sayed, former member of parliament and former head of the Medical Syndicate, successfully proposed legislation for the implementation of graphic health warnings on tobacco packets covering 50% of visible packaging. In 2011, cardiologist Dr George Saade, former focal point of tobacco control in the Lebanese Ministry of Health, proposed banning tobacco use in all public places in Lebanon - a country coined a "paradise for smokers" in local media - and witnessed the implementation of this ground-breaking legislation. Meanwhile, in 2013, cardiologist Dr Sania Nishtar, Pakistan, stood strongly in support of the tobacco control movement with regard to the adoption of legislation comprehensively banning tobacco advertising in Pakistan.

To develop and test the effectiveness of training-of-trainers (ToT) workshop and supportive training manuals targeting primary health care workers (PHCWs) in Lebanon to optimally implement evidence-based national Food Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDGs). Health coordinators at the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and PHCWs across Lebanon. According to World Health Organization guidelines, evidence-based FBDGS were developed in Lebanon to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic diseases among adults. Training of PHCWs on effective implementation of FBDGs was needed. Workshop and ToT manual were developed by a team of nutrition experts from the American University of Beirut, MoPH, and UNICEF. 20 PHCWs participated in the 3-day workshop on FBDGs with supportive educational materials and activities to train other PHCWs on new guidelines for counseling patients. Pre-questionnaires assessed nutritional knowledge and skills of PHCWs and common nutrition-related health conditions reported in centers. Participants evaluated the content of training sessions and supportive educational materials throughout the workshop. New skills learned and planned trainings conducted at health centers were assessed three weeks post training. 62% of participants were involved in assessing dietary intake of patients prior to workshop, yet voiced their need for more training on weight management and dietary guidelines. During the workshop, 90% of participants found the training and manuals to be comprehensible and pertinent to their practice. Post-evaluation, participants had more confidence in planning nutrition programs, conducting lectures, and counseling patients. Participants suggested expanding the workshop to a larger group of PHCWs to prevent chronic diseases in a country undergoing nutrition transition.

: Background. The diversity of the Lebanese society increased after the 1975-1990 civil war, the grapes of Wrath conflict and July 2006 war. Musculoskeletal disabilities affect up to 10% of this population. This category is more vulnerable in terms of health status, and hence requires more health care. Objective. To our knowledge, the health care accessibility of Lebanese young adults with physical disabilities has not been yet explored. This constituted the main objective of the current work. Methods. 78 working-age adults with physical disabilities were enrolled. Each filled questionnaires regarding health care monitoring, health accessibility, and social inclusion. Demographic data were also collected. Results. Around half of our sample did not graduate from high school, and 81% of them was either unemployed or earned less than 200$. 40% of participants reported having difficulty in getting medical care in the past year. This was in relation to the proximity of the physician’s office, the accessibility of health care institutions and services, the level of the received medical knowledge, and the affordability of health care fees. Their health status subsequently reflected the accessibility issue. Pain scores were significantly positively correlated with physical disability scores. Conclusion. Our data emphasize the difficulties faced by the Lebanese working-age adults with musculoskeletal disabilities in terms of accessibility to public places in general, and health care in particular. Our data can be subsequently translated into empowering interventions in public and private sectors to maximize the social inclusion of this population in various domains.

Integrated healthcare systems are continually pitched as major contributors towards better distribution of health outcomes and enhanced well-being. Under emergency conditions, integrated healthcare services can guarantee better access to the target population. In recent years, several crises, i.e., economic collapse, the fuel crisis, the Beirut blast, a large refugee population, and the COVID-19 pandemic, in Lebanon have led to a major shift in the health-seeking behavior of the communities, with preventive services being downprioritized despite being available and curative healthcare services being sought out as late as possible. An extensive drop in immunization coverage and an overstretched public health system presents the risk of Vaccine-Preventable Disease outbreaks and urgent intervention is needed to bridge the immunity gap. The Ministry of Public Health, Lebanon, and UNICEF Lebanon successfully demonstrated the use of an immunization platform as an entry point to reach communities for service delivery, identification and referral, screening, awareness generation, and a host of other services that can be copied for other programs including but not limited to those for Maternal and Child health, nutrition, early childhood development, COVID-19, children with disabilities, social protection, education, health emergencies like cholera, etc., and these can provide bi-directional support to each other. UNICEF along with the MoPH (Ministry of Public Health) has been working towards reaching the most vulnerable population with a bouquet of services through existing immunization touchpoints for favorable healthcare outcomes.

The Syrian crisis has resulted in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history. Inadequate access to and use of sexual and reproductive health services is a prevailing issue among adolescent girls and young refugee women in humanitarian settings.This article aimed to explore and describe the perceived extent of implementation of the different objectives and activities outlined within the minimum initial service package for reproductive health in crisis services in Lebanon, from the perspectives of a diverse set of stakeholders from leading organizations (public, private, primary health centers, nongovernmental organizations) that were directly engaged with the Syrian refugee crisis response.This study is a cross-sectional survey conducted using a standardized and validated questionnaire.Centers that provided sexual and reproductive health services to Syrian refugees in Lebanon were mapped. The study was based on a purposive sampling approach, retrieving 52 eligible organizations to cover most areas in the country. A total of 43 centers accepted to take part in the study. The head of the center was then asked to identify one person in their center who holds adequate knowledge of the explained objectives of the survey. Accordingly, the identified person was asked to fill out the survey.A considerable portion of the respondents had limited knowledge about the specific minimum initial service package objectives and related sexual and reproductive health services. The study found the presence of a leading reproductive health agency, the Lebanese MoPH, as an essential facilitating factor for sexual and reproductive health service provision in Lebanon and has helped in overseeing the overall sexual and reproductive health coordination response for Syrian refugees (76.74% of all respondents). The identified challenges impeding adequate sexual and reproductive health services provision for Syrian refugees included (1) insufficient supplies (46.51%); (2) insufficient funds (39.53%); and (3) shortage of staff (39.53%).The recommendations for improved sexual and reproductive health service provision include the need for (1) enforcing the lead minimum initial service package agency for adequate and effective coordination, reporting, and accountability and (2) increasing funding for training staff and healthcare workers, as well as improving the overall quality of services available with the inclusion of family planning services, purchasing the necessary commodities, supplies and equipment, and covering fees associated with the different sexual and reproductive health services.

Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCPs) are among the most commonly used forms of contraception, but they are associated with several health benefits and risks. This study aims to determine the gap in knowledge of the underlying health benefits and risks of OCPs among Lebanese women and to identify the factors that might influence their beliefs.A questionnaire was completed by 817 Lebanese women aged 18-64 years old and assessed sociodemographic details, medical information, contraceptive practices, knowledge of underlying health benefits and risks, and information needs related to OCPs.Among the total participants, 41.5% of women reported using OCPs at some point in their lives yet 46.6% denied receiving information about their benefits and 48% denied receiving information about their risks. The mean total OCP knowledge score was 5.70 out of 25, the mean OCP risk knowledge score was 4.09 out of 15, and the mean OCP benefit knowledge score was 0.77 out of 6. Sociodemographic factors associated with greater total knowledge, risk knowledge and benefit knowledge included OCP usage, being a student, confidence in one's knowledge and satisfaction with one's information. Both the total and risk knowledge scores were found to be higher in women who found that receiving information related to OCPs was important. Finally, participants who lived in central governates had greater total knowledge scores, whereas those with higher levels of education and a family history of endometrial cancer demonstrated better benefit knowledge.This study highlighted the poor knowledge of health benefits and risks associated with OCP use among Lebanese women and the associated sociodemographic factors that might influence their beliefs.

Background Lebanon is an upper-middle income country with 4.5 million inhabitants (as well as more than 1.2 million refugees) and total health expenditures at 7.3% of the Gross Domestic Product. Lebanon has a mixed public and private healthcare sector. The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) functions as ‘insurer of last resort’ for approximately 54% of the population that would otherwise lack hospitalization coverage. The MoPH contracts 26 public and 105 private hospitals and covers about 240,000 hospital admissions annually. Since 2001, hospital contracting is based on a link between reimbursement rate and accreditation. Accreditation has encouraged the development of a healthcare quality culture among providers, and has likely contributed to total quality management. Yet, the sole link between accreditation and reimbursement has imposed limitations that are apparent to both MoPH and the hospitals. To address this problem, since 2009, a MoPH cross-collaboration team (with membership that includes implementers, policymakers, and researchers) has worked to develop a system to capture additional dimensions of healthcare performance.

Background: Hypertension control reduces cardiovascular risk. Yet, lack of adherence to medication reduces this control. Therefore, tools to measure medication adherence are needed. A new Lebanese scale measuring medication adherence considered socioeconomic and cultural factors not taken into account by the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8).
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to validate the new adherence scale and its prediction of hypertension control, compared to MMAS-8, and to assess adherence rates and factors.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study, including 405 patients, was performed in outpatient cardiology clinics of three hospitals in Beirut. Blood pressure was measured, a questionnaire filled, and sodium intake estimated by a urine test. Logistic regression defined predictors of hypertension control and adherence.
Results: The result showed that 54.9% had controlled hypertension. 82.4% were adherent by the new scale which showed good internal consistency, adequate questions (KMO coefficient=0.743), and four factors. It predicted hypertension control (OR=1.217; p value=0.003), unlike MMAS-8, but the scores were correlated (ICC average measure=0.651; p value<0.001). Stress and smoking predicted nonadherence.
Conclusion: This study elaborated a validated, practical, and useful tool measuring adherence to medications in hypertensive patients.

e18917 Background: Lebanon is facing a mounting burden from cancer with heavy financial consequences on the healthcare system. This study aims to evaluate increasing trends in the cost of oncology drugs procured by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) between 2014 – 2016, and to assess the particular impact of the introduction of new immunotherapy drugs for treatment of lung cancer mid-2015 on the overall cost and the specific cost of lung cancer treatment. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted of data from the MOPH Cancer Drug Scientific Committee (CDSC) with a total of 18,133 cancer files between 2014 and 2016. Results: Over the 3-year period, a total of about $140 million was spent on cancer drugs by the MOPH free dispensing program, with a 27% increase following the phasing-in of immunotherapy. The average drug cost per patient per year, measured across all cancer types, increased from $7000 in 2014 to $8,400 in 2016. Trastuzumab, approved for HER-2 positive breast cancer treatment ranked first in the total expenditures of 2014-2015. By 2016, two new immunotherapy drugs had topped the list: Pembrolizumab ranked first and Nivolumab ranked third, representing 64% of the total lung cancer treatment cost and about 19% of the total yearly budget, while beneficiaries were only 3% of all patients. Conclusions: This update documents the increasing financial impact of newer cancer drugs on the process of procurement in the middle-income country of Lebanon. The trend is aligned with the global financial burden of cancer drugs, calling for a collaborative global response to the crisis. Keywords: Health financing, cancer treatment, universal health coverage, global health, equity, Middle-East.

Abstract Background The political instability, economic crisis, and devaluation of the national currency left Lebanese females suffering from a scarcity of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs). Therefore, we aimed to identify the incidence of OCPs shortage in Lebanon and its impact on women’s sexual and reproductive health, as well as physical and psychological well-being. Methods Community pharmacies were selected randomly across Lebanon, using a stratified sampling approach, where female clients asking for OCPs were interviewed using a standardized data collection form. Results A total of 440 females were interviewed. More than three-quarters of the participants (76.4%) reported not finding their preferred OCPs brands, almost 40% were affected by the increased prices, and 28.4% declared stockpiling OCPs. More than half of the participants using OCPs for pregnancy prevention reported adopting alternative traditional contraceptive methods (55.3%). Unplanned pregnancy was reported by 9.5% of participants, where 75% of them disclosed intentional abortion while the remaining (25%) reported experiencing a spontaneous miscarriage. Other consequences of OCPs shortage included mood disturbances (52.3%), dysregulation of menses (49.7%), dysmenorrhea (21.1%), weight gain (19.6%), acne (15.7%), and hirsutism (12.5%). Of the participants taking OCPs for birth control, 48.6% reported a reduced frequency of sexual intercourse, which led to conflicts with their partners (46%) and a decreased libido (26.7%). Conclusions OCPs shortage has seriously and negatively exposed women to various undesirable consequences including unplanned pregnancy and dysregulation of menses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to bring the attention of healthcare authorities to support the national pharmaceutical industry in manufacturing affordable OCPs generics to meet women’s reproductive health demands.

Lebanon has the highest Syrian refugee density worldwide. The influx of Syrian refugees has had various impacts on Lebanon, with one of the most significant effects observed in the already exhausted healthcare system. This study aimed to determine the reasons for hospitalization among registered Syrian refugees in Beirut who were admitted to Rafik Hariri University Hospital (RHUH) between December 2017 and June 2020.Data from 7,480 diagnosed cases were collected from the RHUH archives between December 2017 and June 2020 and were analyzed using SPSS (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The collected data included information related to demographics, admission date, primary diagnosis, and other related medical problems. Variations and correlations were then tested.Of the cases, 73.4% were females; the mean age was 28 ± 16.23 years. Fifty-seven percent of the admitted cases were solely due to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium reasons, and 91.14% of the deliveries were single deliveries by cesarean section. Common reasons for hospitalization were injuries (5.8%) and diseases of the digestive system (6.8%), circulatory system (4.7%), and respiratory system (4.4%). Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) constituted 61% of all hospital admissions, while only 6.6% belonged to communicable diseases. Reasons for hospitalization and the type of diagnosed diseases were associated with gender and age groups (p-values <0.001).The major reasons for hospitalization among Syrian refugees were related to pregnancies and NCDs. The burden of the Syrian refugee influx on the Lebanese healthcare system can be alleviated by improving community health education, public health services, and conditions for refugees.

Abstract Introduction Lebanon is a middle-income country facing substantial fragility features. Its health profile shows a high burden of NCD morbidity and mortality. This paper intends to analyse the political economy of NCD prevention and control in Lebanon. Methods This study adopted a literature-based case study research design using a problem-driven political economy analysis framework. A total of 94 peer-reviewed articles and documents from the grey literature published before June 2019 were retrieved and analysed. Results Lebanon’s political instability and fragile governance negatively affect its capacity to adapt a Health-in-All-Policies approach to NCD prevention and enable the blocking of NCD prevention policies by opposed stakeholders. Recent economic crises limit the fiscal capacity to address health financing issues and resulting health inequities. NCD care provision is twisted by powerful stakeholders towards a hospital-centred model with a powerful private sector. Stakeholders like the MOPH, UN agencies, and NGOs have been pushing towards changing the existing care model towards a primary care model. An incremental reform has been adopted to strengthen a network of primary care centres, support them with health technologies and improve the quality of primary care services. Nevertheless, outpatient services that are covered by other public funds remain specialist-led without much institutional regulation. Conclusion Our study revealed a locked equilibrium in NCD prevention policymaking in Lebanon, but with an incremental progress in service delivery reforms towards a primary care model. Advocacy and close monitoring by policy entrepreneurs (such as civil society) could initiate and sustain the implementation of policy change and care model reforms.

Abstract Background Since 2019 Lebanon has faced multiple compounded crises. Political and social instability, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Beirut Port explosion, alongside the influx of refugees related to the ongoing Syrian conflict, have resulted in a nationwide economic emergency. In the context of the humanitarian response to the Syrian conflict, the UN and government-led gender-based violence (GBV) task force has coordinated the sub-sector since 2012. The compounded crisis, however, created new challenges for GBV coordination and service delivery, which we explore in this paper. We highlight lessons for strengthening GBV coordination in Lebanon and other complex emergencies. Methods We conducted 29 remote in-depth interviews, reviewed key policy documents and observed seven GBV task force meetings. We analysed and presented our findings across three key themes: context-relevant and adaptable coordination mechanisms; coordination to support GBV service delivery; and stakeholders’ roles, legitimacy and power. Results Parallel response frameworks developed to address the multiple crises, created a complex humanitarian architecture within an increasingly challenging operating context, with some perceived inefficiencies. Positively, coordination was integrated under the established government-UN interagency system and the GBV task force maintained GBV sub-sector coordination. The task force was commended for effectively adapting to the evolving context, including working remotely, maintaining essential GBV services, assessing the compounded crises’ impact on programming and adjusting accordingly, and harmonising guidance, tools and approaches. The importance of ensuring a government co-led response was highlighted by both UN and government informants, who pointed to examples where marginalising government leadership compromised coordination effectiveness and sustainability. The participation of local actors had become increasingly important but more difficult, with the impact of the various crises, and remote modalities, challenging service delivery and staff wellbeing. Conclusion Experiences from Lebanon highlight the essential role of government leadership in coordination; the value of investing in local GBV capacity; the significance of effective national, subnational and intersectoral coordination to support service delivery and address cross-cutting GBV issues; the importance of targeted interventions to support marginalised populations; and the need to prioritize the well-being of front-line staff during crisis response. In Lebanon, and other complex crises, donors are encouraged to increase flexible, multiyear funding for GBV coordination and services, while women-led organizations should be at the forefront of recovery efforts, contributing to a more equitable society.

To describe the effect of economic collapse on prenatal care.This is an observational study aiming to depict the changes that occur in prenatal care in the case of an economic collapse. Biochemical screening and ultrasound examinations, as well as medical emigration and private-public sector activity, are discussed.Starting October 2019, Lebanon experienced significant and unprecedented economic degradation leading to 81% degradation of the local currency, 85% inflation, and socio-economic suffering, and the situation is currently still deteriorating. The impact on the medical infrastructure has been global and hit all areas. The crisis is multifaceted, varied in the way it played out across public and private sectors, and did not affect them equally. Some were better prepared than others to cope with severe fiscal pressure mainly through the support of non-governmental organizations. All aspects of prenatal care are affected by the crisis.Given the multiple strains on the Lebanese health care system today, the plight of antenatal care providers needs assistance to ensure adequate follow-up of pregnancies.

Abstract Background High academic achievement, an important determinant of future success, is known to be influenced by many factors including dietary behavior, lifestyle and mental health, among others. The objectives of the current study were to explore university students’ nutritive habits, daily lifestyle, and mental status, and to scrutinize the associations between these factors and students’ academic achievement. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among students of a private Lebanese university, using an electronic survey. Diet, eating habits, physical activity, sleep, and smoking were evaluated, and mental health was assessed using a validated Arabic version of the combined Depression, Anxiety, Stress Score (DASS-8). Academic achievement was measured using the Subjective Academic Achievement Scale (SAAS). Results A total of 1677 students participated in the questionnaire. The results of a linear regression taking the SAAS score as the dependent variable, showed that students who have a non-scientific versus scientific major (Beta = 0.53), and having breakfast ≥ 4 days per week compared to less than 2 days (Beta = 0.28) were significantly associated with higher SAAS scores. More psychological distress (Beta = − 0.06) and a higher number of days of eating out (Beta = − 0.07) were significantly associated with lower SAAS scores. Conclusions This is the first investigation on a Lebanese university students’ academic success in relation to lifestyle and mental profiles. Better academic achievement was demonstrated by students having healthier dietary and lifestyle habits, as well as less distressing mental status. Such results, in light of the compounded and unprecedented crises with which Lebanon has been assailed, suggest the need to focus on promoting healthy habits among students in higher education as a possible driver of better academic success.

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a major public health problem that has a detrimental impact on health, substantially contributing to the global burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. Effective treatments for SUD are essential to reduce the impact of substance use on both the individual and society. There are two main types of treatments used for SUD: detoxification (complete abstinence) or the opioid substitution treatment (OST). Once referred to treatment, a major shift occurs in the lifestyle of people who use drugs (PWUD) especially concerning nutrition and metabolism. The study assessed the nutritional status and lifestyle practices among PWUDs undergoing treatment for recovery in Lebanon. Furthermore, it explored significant differences in these parameters depending on the offered treatment modality. Finally, it examined the patterns and extent of weight change, and explored the determinants of weight gain among this population group. Integrated lifestyle interventions are increasingly being recognized as important components of routine care of PWUDs undergoing treatment for recovery. The findings of this study fill an important gap in this regard by providing the foundation of a framework for a health intervention program targeting nutrition and lifestyle practices of PWUD in treatment in Lebanon.

During the past few years, millions of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa fled their countries to almost everywhere in the globe. Civil wars and acts of violence are the main reasons behind the exodus of populations seeking a better life and more secure living conditions. In fact, the current conflict in Syria and Iraq led to massive influx of refugees worldwide and in particular to neighboring countries of the Middle East. This refugee situation is unparalleled since the end of World War II. Besides the individual tragedies of refugees, a public health disaster is being witnessed in the countries of origin which, in many instances, affect the hosting countries as well. Many of these hosting countries witnessed a re-emergence of numerous communicable diseases as a result of the influx of refugees; they were unprepared, and their health sectors did not deliver the adequate response. In this chapter, we review major sexually transmitted diseases in refugees, with a focus on the Middle East. We also discuss the major actions taken in response to the ongoing displacement of refugees by the Government of Lebanon and suggest solutions and recommendations to the Lebanese public health system which is facing new urgent challenges.

Abstract Introduction : The pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has seriously disturbed the daily life of the general population particularly the life of the pregnant women. Since the obstetricians and gynecologists (OBGYN) are often the primary health care providers during pregnancy, hence the importance of their critical role in preventing and managing COVID-19 infection in their patients. Objectives : This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of OBGYN in order to identify existing gaps and to improve patient and occupational safety. Methods : A cross-sectional study, using an online survey, was conducted during the rapid rise of COVID-19 pandemic in Lebanon over the period extending between 20th October and 20th November 2020 among Lebanese OBGYNs. The analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Data collected is subjected to descriptive analysis. A good level of knowledge was defined when the percentage of correct answers reaches more than 80% of the respondents. Results : A total of 279 OBGYNs participated in the survey of which 57% were males. The majority of them (64.2%) were aged more than 45 years, married (79.9%) with large work experience (70.3%). Only 28.3% were reluctant to take care of COVID-19 patient. Most of them feared of contracting COVID-19 or transmitting COVID-19 to their family member due to occupational exposure and 42.3% felt overwhelmed. 62.7% of them considered that policies implemented by the ministry of public health are sufficient. The majority of OBGYNs had a good level of knowledge in different basic and specific domains related to COVID-19 and pregnancy. Furthermore, a good practice score in all relevant aspects (personal, clinic and patient) was revealed. Conclusion : The high knowledge and practice scores, among Lebanese OBGYNs disclose a strong commitment from the part of these physicians to fulfill their responsibilities during this pandemic towards themselves and their patients.

This chapter describes the extracurricular health club initiative in public schools in Lebanon, the challenges encountered, and the impact on the health of its youth members. In the context of this discussion, health is defined in its broader, more holistic sense in line with much contemporary research and the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (WHO, 1986) as encompassing aspects of students’ physical, psychological, and social wellbeing.

Abstract Background: The World Health Organization and the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region recommend the self-assessment of public health core competencies to strengthen the public health workforce proficiency and prepare them for future challenges. A framework for these competencies is lacking and highly needed in Lebanon. This study aims to validate the WHO-ASPHER self-declared scale and evaluate the perceived competency level of the different categories of the Lebanese public health of practitioners. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study conducted online between July and September 2021 involved 66 public health practitioners who graduated from different universities in Lebanon. Data were collected using the snowball technique via a self-report questionnaire that assessed public health proficiency, categorized into 1) content and context, 2) relationship and interactions, and 3) performance and achievements. The rotated component matrix technique was used to test the construct validity of the scales. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed after ensuring the adequacy of the models. Significance was set at a p-value<0.05. Results: The factor analysis for scale domains showed that the Barlett test sphericity was significant (p<0.001), high loadings of items on factors, and Cronbach’s alpha values of more than 0.9 in all three categories, showing an appropriate scale validity and reliability. The perceived level of competencies was significantly different between public health professionals and other health professionals with public health activities. All respondents scored low in most public health categories, mainly science and practice. Conclusion : Data findings showed variability of self-declared gaps in knowledge and proficiency, suggesting a need to review the national public health education programs. Our study offers a valuable tool for academia and public health professionals to self-assess the level of public health proficiency and guide continuous education needs for professional development.

The huge explosion that occurred at Beirut Port led to a high number of casualties. Consequently, 7 field hospitals (FHs) were deployed in Lebanon. The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges that emergency medical teams (EMTs) faced and explain the gaps at the national level related to deploying a FH.A qualitative study was conducted. To collect the data, semi-structured interviews were done with 8 key informants (5 from the FHs, 2 from Lebanese Army Forces, and 1 from Ministry of Public Health). In this study, purposive sampling was used and data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke (2006) thematic analysis and MAXQDA software.Three major themes (logistical challenges, staff challenges, and coronavirus disease [COVID-19] pandemic) and 10 subthemes emerged for the challenges that EMTs faced. The gaps at the national level were categorized into 2 themes (absence of needs-based response and limited effective coordination between the host country and donor countries) and 5 sub-themes.Lebanon focuses on response rather than preparedness for disasters. EMTs that arrived didn't meet the medical needs. Hence, there is a need to strengthen the national capacities and to ensure better communication and coordination between the disaster-affected country and the EMTs.

Abstract Background In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of health care providers is essential to maintain the functioning of the health care system. Physicians accept a primary ethical duty to place the well-being and health of their patients above their own welfares. However, does the duty to patient well-being have any limit? Two ethical concerns are debated: public health’s ethical principles and medical ethics values. We aimed in this study to assess Lebanese physicians’ attitudes, practice and ethical considerations when treating their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods It’s a cross-sectional study conducted in March 2019 among a random sample of Lebanese physicians, using a questionnaire based mainly on a five-point Likert numerical scale to make the answers more reliable and valid. The questionnaire focused on the medical practice during the pandemic and the ethical considerations in public health and in medical practice. It also evaluates the physicians’ point of view toward the management of the pandemic in Lebanon. Results A total of 318 physicians responded, with a mean age of 40 years. Five doctors of the total were affected by the COVID-19 infection (1.6%). 51.4% of medical specialists considered themselves to be at a higher risk of contracting the infection, while 52.3% of surgeons stated that they were at a lower risk. Doctors expressed a neutral position regarding the prioritization of patients during treatment and the disconnection of patients with poor prognosis from ventilators to treat other patients. The majority of doctors disagreed regarding the respect of the patient’s autonomy in refusing COVID-19 treatment with a mean score of 1.7/5. Finally, doctors expressed a neutral opinion regarding the ability of the country to manage such a pandemic with a mean score of 3.1/5. Conclusion Although physicians recognize that they are at high risk of contracting COVID-19, they assume their responsibilities and their duty to treat, and they were neutral against any prioritization in treatment approach. However, applying the four ethical principles (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice) may become challenging. Hence, more medical and ethical recommendations are required to guide physicians during this pandemic.

Abstract Background : In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of health care providers is essential to maintain the functioning of the health care system. Physicians accept a primary ethical duty to place the wellbeing and health of their patients above their own welfares. However, does the duty to patient well-being have any limit? Two ethical concerns are debated: public health’s ethical principles and medical ethics values. We aimed in this study to assess Lebanese physicians’ attitudes, practice and ethical considerations when treating their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods : It’s a cross-sectional study conducted in March 2020 among a random sample of Lebanese physicians, using a questionnaire based mainly on a five-point Likert numerical scale to make the answers more reliable and valid. The questionnaire focused on the medical practice during the pandemic and the ethical considerations in public health and in medical practice. It also evaluates the physicians’ point of view toward the management of the pandemic in Lebanon. Results : A total of 318 physicians responded, with a mean age of 40 years. Five doctors of the total were affected by the COVID-19 infection (1.6%). 51.4% of medical specialists considered themselves to be at a higher risk of contracting the infection, while 52.3% of surgeons stated that they were at a lower risk. Doctors were neutral regarding treating patients according to any priority and discontinuing the ventilation of any patient with bad prognosis. The majority of doctors disagreed regarding the respect of the patient’s autonomy in refusing COVID-19 treatment with a mean score of 1.7/5. Finally, doctors expressed a neutral opinion regarding the ability of the country to manage such a pandemic with a mean score of 3.1/5. Conclusion : Although physicians recognize that they are at high risk of contracting COVID-19, they assume their responsibilities and their duty to treat, and they were neutral against any prioritization in treatment approach. However, applying the four ethical principles (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice) may become challenging. Hence, more medical and ethical recommendations are required to guide physicians during this pandemic.

Despite its preventable nature, poisoning remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. In Lebanon, this population is poorly studied and there is no poison center to which healthcare providers and the public can refer in case of toxicological exposure, leading to unnecessary Emergency Department (ED) visits. This study describes the pediatric toxicological exposures seen at the largest tertiary care center in Lebanon. It also evaluates the appropriateness of ED visits among confirmed or suspected toxicological exposures in children, in order to assess the role of a national poison center in reducing unnecessary ED visits.This is a secondary analysis of a database for a telephonic medical toxicology service at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, the largest tertiary care center in Lebanon. Data relating to all pediatric patients aged 0-19 years of age were entered into the database by the medical toxicology team. The cases were independently reviewed by 2 medical toxicologists for the adequacy of referral to the ED and performance of invasive procedures.Two hundred and nine exposures were recorded between 15 April 2015 and 31 December 2019, of which 53.1% were females. Children aged less than 5 years were involved in 67.0% of cases while adolescents aged 13-19 years were involved in 21.1%. The most commonly involved substances were analgesics (14.8%) and cardiovascular drugs (10.0%). The majority had no (59.3%) or minor (26.3%) effects and were treated and discharged home (67.5%). More than a third of ED visits were deemed unnecessary by the toxicologists (Kappa = 0.705), and when including only unintentional cases, around 45% of the ED visits were deemed unnecessary (Kappa = 0.677).Our data show that 37% of all pediatric poisoning ED visits and 45% of ED visits due to unintentional pediatric poisonings were unnecessary. Additionally, more often than not lavage suctions were done unnecessarily. Future research investigating the possibility of preventing unnecessary visits by establishing a national poison center is needed.

The Syrian crisis, followed by a financial crisis, port explosion, and COVID-19, have put enormous strain on Lebanon's health system. Syrian refugees and the vulnerable host population have a high burden of Non-communicable Diseases (NCD) morbidity and unmet mental health, psychosocial and rehabilitation needs. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) recently introduced integrated NCD services within its package of primary care in Lebanon, which includes NCD primary health care, rehabilitation, and mental health and psychosocial support services. We aimed to identify relevant outcomes for people living with NCDs from refugee and host communities in northern Lebanon, as well as to define the processes needed to achieve them through an integrated model of care. Given the complexity of the health system in which the interventions are delivered, and the limited practical guidance on integration, we considered systems thinking to be the most appropriate methodological approach.A Theory of Change (ToC) workshop and follow-up meetings were held online by the ICRC, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the American University of Beirut in 2021. ToC is a participatory and iterative planning process involving key stakeholders, and seeks to understand a process of change by mapping out intermediate and long-term outcomes along hypothesised causal pathways. Participants included academics, and ICRC regional, coordination, and headquarters staff.We identified two distinct pathways to integrated NCD primary care: a multidisciplinary service pathway and a patient and family support pathway. These were interdependent and linked via an essential social worker role and a robust information system. We also defined a list of key assumptions and interventions to achieve integration, and developed a list of monitoring indicators.ToC is a useful tool to deconstruct the complexity of integrating NCD services. We highlight that integrated care rests on multidisciplinary and patient-centred approaches, which depend on a well-trained and resourced team, strong leadership, and adequate information systems. This paper provides the first theory-driven road map of implementation pathways, to help support the integration of NCD care for crises-affected populations in Lebanon and globally.

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancers worldwide, with early screening leading to a large reduction in mortality and morbidity, yet screening efforts in Lebanon remain inadequate and a large number of cases present in advanced stages. Health care providers in training, such as medical students, play an important role in raising awareness and educating the public on the importance of CRC screening. Assessing these students' knowledge and attitudes is the aim of this study.

Abstract Background : Displaced populations in fragile settings such as Syrian refugees and host community members in Lebanon, experience a multitude of health disparities that are seldom attended to. Task-shifting, which involves training non-specialized community health workers (CHW) to deliver basic education and health services is a favorable strategy to address this problem, however very little data exists on this topic in the Middle East region. We conducted a long-term evaluation of the Women’s Health Certificate delivered to two cohorts in informal tented settlements in Lebanon under the Mobile University for Health (MUH) program. Methods : We collected short-term data from the n=42 trained CHW (knowledge assessments and satisfaction measures) during the delivery of the intervention between March and August 2019, and long-term data (semi-structured interviews with n=8 CHW and focus group discussion with n=9 randomly selected community members) one year later between July and August 2020. The evaluation approach was informed by the Kirkpatrick evaluation model, and the qualitative data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results : Data from the CHWs and community members were triangulated, and they showed that the training enhanced access to education due to its mobile nature and provided opportunities for CHWs to engage and interact with learning material that enhanced their knowledge and favorable behaviors regarding women’s health. In turn, CHWs were empowered to play an active role in their communities to transfer the knowledge they gained through educating community members and providing women’s health services and referrals. Community members benefited from the CHWs and called for the implementation of more similar training programs. Conclusion : This is one of few studies reporting a long-term community-level evaluation of a task-shifting program on women’s health among displaced populations in Lebanon. Our findings support the need to increase funding for similar programs, and to focus on delivering programs for a variety of health topics. It is also essential to enhance the reach and length of recruitment to wider communities, to design concise, interactive, and engaging sessions, and to provide tools to facilitate circulation of learning material, and resources for referrals to health services.

Background: The health sector in Lebanon suffers from high levels of spending and is acknowledged to be a source of fiscal waste. Lebanon initiated a series of health sector reforms which aim at containing the fiscal waste caused by high and inefficient public health expenditures. Yet these reforms do not address the issues of health equity in use and coverage of healthcare services, which appear to be acute. This paper takes a closer look at the micro-level inequities in the use of healthcare, in access, in ability to pay, and in some health outcomes. Methods: We use data from the 2004/2005 Multi Purpose Survey of Households in Lebanon to conduct health equity analysis, including equity in need, access and outcomes. We briefly describe the data and explain some of its limitations. We examine, in turn, and using standardization techniques, the equity in health care utilization, the impact of catastrophic health payments on household wellbeing, the effect of health payment on household impoverishment, the equity implications of existing health financing methods, and health characteristics by geographical region. Results: We find that the incidence of disability decreases steadily across expenditure quintiles, whereas the incidence of chronic disease shows the opposite pattern, which may be an indication of better diagnostics for higher quintiles. The presence of any health-related expenditure is regressive while the magnitude of out-of-pocket expenditures on health is progressive. Spending on health is found to be normal and income-elastic. Catastrophic health payments are likelier among disadvantaged groups (in terms of income, geography and gender). However, the cash amounts of catastrophic payments are progressive. Poverty is associated with lower insurance coverage for both private and public insurance. While the insured seem to spend an average of almost LL93,000 ($62) on health a year in excess of the uninsured, they devote a smaller proportion of their expenditures to health. Conclusions: The lowest quintiles of expenditures per adult have less of an ability to pay out-of-pocket for healthcare, and yet incur healthcare expenditures more often than the wealthy. They have lower rates of insurance coverage, causing them to spend a larger proportion of their expenditures on health, and further confirming our results on the vulnerability of the bottom quintiles.

The misuse of antibiotics and tranquilizers contributes to the development and exacerbation of antibiotic resistance, and dependence and addiction to tranquilizers, two international public health problems with heavy burdens. Antibiotic resistance has long been recognized as a global problem, yet fully validated tools to measure the psychosocial determinants, i.e., Knowledge Attitudes, and Practices of antibiotic misuse are unavailable. Furthermore, no longitudinal epidemiologic studies have been carried out so far. Dependence on tranquilizers is associated with alarming public health indicators, nonetheless related investigation has been limited to sociodemographic and psychiatric determinants. Drugs are deemed misused when taken without medical prescription or with medical advice but without adherence to the treatment regimen in terms of timing, dosage, and duration.
The present doctoral project aimed at uncovering the psychosocial and socioeconomic determinants of antibiotic and tranquilizer misuse. The project was carried out in Galicia and Lebanon and involved three stages: 1) Development and validation of questionnaires on Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) of antibiotic and tranquilizer misuse in Galician, Arabic and French; 2) Application of the validated questionnaires in Galicia and Lebanon in various epidemiological studies to determine the association of Knowledge and Attitudes with Practices of antibiotic and tranquilizer misuse. This stage also encompassed comparison of findings from cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches related to KAP studies, using data collected from the same individuals, in order to assess and discuss biases associated with each design; and 3) a: Dose-response meta-analyses to summarize inconsistent findings in the literature about the association of income level and education level with antibiotic misuse. b: Meta-analysis on prenatal exposure to macrolide antibiotics as a possible determinant of congenital malformation.
For the first time, the present doctoral project provided validated KAP instruments in three languages to be used in studies of antibiotic and tranquilizer misuse. These instruments are the backbone for assessing, designing, and evaluating prevention programs to improve the rational use of these drugs. This doctoral project also uncovered culture-specific misconceptions and Attitudes towards these drugs in two settings, Galicia and Lebanon, with different socioeconomic characteristics and public health systems. Inconsistencies about the association of income and education with antibiotic misuse were also resolved. Understanding the psychosocial and socioeconomic determinants of antibiotic and tranquilizer misuse is crucial to control the progression of antibiotic resistance and tranquilizer dependence.

Abstract Introduction:The Ministry of Public Health in Lebanon is in the process of converting the surveillance reporting from a cumbersome paper-based system to a web-based electronic platform (DHIS-2) to have real-time information for early detection of alerts and outbreaks and for initiating a prompt response.Objectives:This paper aimed to document the Lebanese experience in implementing DHIS-2 for the disease surveillance system. It also targets to assess the improvement of reporting rates and timeliness of the reported data and to disclose the encountered challenges and opportunities. MethodologyThis is a retrospective description of processes involved in the implementation of the DHIS-2 tool in Lebanon. Initially, it was piloted for the school-based surveillance in 2014; then its use was extended in May 2017 to cover other specific surveillance systems. This included all surveillance programs collecting aggregate data from hospitals, medical centers, dispensaries, or laboratories at the first stage. As part of the national roll-out process, the online application was developed. The customized aggregated-based datasets, organization units, user accounts, specific and generic dashboards were generated. More than 80 training sessions were conducted throughout the country targeting 1290 end-users including health officers at the national and provincial levels, focal persons working in all public and private hospitals, laboratories, and medical centers as well. Completeness and timeliness of reported data were compared before and after the implementation of DHIS-2. Challenges and lessons learned during the roll-out process are listed.ResultsFor laboratory-based surveillance, completeness of reporting increased from 70.8% in May to 89.6% in October. Timeliness has improved from 25% to 74%. For medical centers, an improvement of 8.1% for completeness and 9.4% in timeliness was recorded before and after training sessions. For zero reporting, completeness remains the same (88%) and timeliness has improved from 74% to 87%. The main challenges faced during the implementation of DHIS-2 were mainly infrastructural and system-related in addition to poor internet connectivity and limited workforce and frequent changes to DHIS-2 versions.ConclusionImplementation of DHIS-2 improved timeliness and completeness for aggregated data reporting. Continued on-site support, monitoring, and system enhancement are needed to improve the performance of DHIS-2.

Following the massive influx to Lebanon of Syrians fleeing armed conflict, the UNHCR and various NGOs, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), are providing Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) for Syrian refugees. However little is known about the functioning of these services and their implications in terms of defining the experience of suffering of refugees. Methods: we conducted a study of MHPSS services based on a review of documents published by UNHCR, MoPH, and relevant NGOs, as well as the analysis of the discourse of health care professionals/policymakers. 60 semi-structured interviews were conducted with informants from various organizations. The questions focused on their experience with the services, the main challenges encountered and their perceptions of the Syrian refugees and their problems. The list of organizations was taken from a service mapping by the MoPh. Findings: MHPSS interventions in Lebanon endorse the Inter Agency Standing Committee Guidelines that prioritize community-based interventions. Yet, in practice they promote individual-focused, clinical and short-term interventions rather than long term ones. Health care professionals perceive Syrian refugees as lacking awareness on mental health disorders and needing education in this regard; but most of them lack knowledge about the Syrians’ patterns of social strengths and weaknesses and their perceived needs in terms of mental health. Conclusion: Based on our findings, we reflect on the relevance of “evidence-based” interventions in this particular setting and suggest recommendations for sustainable and culturally sensitive mental health interventions.

This paper intends to analyze the health care system in Lebanon from the organizational and financial points of view. It allows for an understanding of the health services' market by tackling it from different angles: supply versus demand, private versus public sectors, curative versus preventive services, hospital versus ambulatory care. This study necessitated a review of all previous surveys made in this field, during the after-war period. It also needed the daily collection and follow-up of pertinent data with all private and public agencies and concerned ministries, over a one-year period. In addition, a critical analysis has been made to the survey Conditions de vie des ménages, en 1997, that was carried out by the Central Administration of Statistics, that came to complete the missing data concerning household expenditures on insurance and health services. Especially that this survey covered the same period (1997), subject of this study. The paper reveals that, although the private sector is the main provider of both hospital and ambulatory care, private hospitals are flourishing on public money, whereas outpatients care is mainly financed by the households. Evidence shows that the Lebanese health care system succeeded in resolving the problem of accessibility to primary, secondary and tertiary health care, responding thus to the value of equity. But, at the price of an ever escalating cost, threatening the sustainability of the system. This is what is attained in this paper, as it shows clearly that expenditures on health have reached an alarming level of the GDP share. Our purpose being providing solid arguments in favor of reforming the health system.

Abstract Following the June 1982 war in South Lebanon, the Israel Ministry of Health sent a medical team to assess health conditions in the area, to assist in the restoration of local health services, and to provide additional medical assistance as needed in public health and specialized medical services. For the approximately 600,000 population of the area, public health sanitary conditions were restored by local authorities, with some external assistance. Sanitation and housing for the refugee camp populations were difficult to solve because of extensive damage in the camps; but United Nations activities, supported by international and Israeli sources, were effective. Epidemic conditions did not occur. Monitoring for specific infectious diseases showed increases not exceeding usual summer conditions. Child nutrition status was satisfactory. Medical needs for specialty services, not available in South Lebanon, were arranged through screening and referral to Israeli hospitals. Renal dialysis needs were met by establishing a dialysis unit using local personnel in a damaged and non-functioning government hospital. Private medical and hospital services, the bulk of health care in the area, functioned except for minor dislocations throughout the war and post-war period. Israeli medical aid, managed by a small multidisciplinary team, was designed to assist and, where necessary, augment rather than replace local health services.

Rationale, aims and objectives: In Lebanon, HIV is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM). Healthcare workers in testing centers are trained through workshops to gain HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) information and skills. The objective of this report is to evaluate this intervention. Methods: Nine workshops were conducted in 2018. Each workshop was introduced and concluded with a pre and post intervention questionnaire that addressed HIV knowledge, health-risk behaviours, STIs testing. Results: A total of 144 participants were included. HIV knowledge score increased by 37.5% (p<0.05) after the interventions. The areas with the lowest knowledge after the training were the questions about non-sexual HIV transmission, the fluids containing HIV, prevention and treatment of HIV. STIs knowledge score showed a 29.7% increase (p<0.05). Stigma score showed an increase by 11.7% (p>0.05). In all scores, there were differences between urban and rural areas. Conclusion: These findings consolidate the value of these training sessions and highlights the importance of the use of innovative learning approaches. Further efforts and interventions should address stigma and discrimination among service providers to reach better outcomes in Lebanon. A comparison with some of the indicators that exist in previous reports show higher knowledge in healthcare workers compared to MSM community that is served by these healthcare workers. These activities among health care workers are crucial to increase HIV knowledge and reduce high-risk behaviors among key populations.

Introduction: Air pollution imposes a significant burden on public health. It is emerging as a modifiable risk factor for cancer, diabetes, and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Lebanese physicians regarding air pollution. Methods: This observational study uses a descriptive cross-sectional correlational design. The data were collected using a self-administered online survey that was sent to 874 potential respondents who are members of the Lebanese Order of Physicians. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and a chi-square test. Results: The results show a deficiency in the knowledge of physicians regarding many sources of air pollution, including dust, the smell of perfume, candles, vacuum cleaners, air fresheners, electronic cigarettes, etc. The majority of physicians agree that air pollution increases the risk of several health problems. Only 38% of physicians routinely ask their patients about exposure to air pollution, and 75% of them believe that they have a role as physicians in reducing air pollution levels. Over half of the sample are confident in counseling their patients on sources of air pollution, and two thirds of them are in support of including assessment of air pollution exposure during regular medical visits. Conclusion: Air pollution levels are progressively increasing over time. Given the health impact of exposure to air pollution, healthcare professionals need to stay up to date on this topic. The results of this study suggest the need for continuing education about air pollution for physicians and developing guidelines for what exactly to ask patients in assessing their exposure.

ABSTRACTGovernment social media (GSM) accounts were increasingly used by governments worldwide to support strategic crisis communication efforts during the global COVID-19 pandemic, particularly to influence people’s perceptions and behaviors. However, little is known about the potential connections between users’ engagement on GSM platforms and their own health perceptions regarding COVID-19 and related preventive behaviors. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective and drawing on the Health Belief Model (HBM), the present study employed a survey research method to collect data from 2,163 Facebook followers of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in Lebanon. The collected data was subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics and bivariate Pearson’s correlation tests. The findings reveal a significant association between active information-seeking on the MoPH Facebook page and all HBM constructs (perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers), while passive exposure was associated with three of these constructs. GSM participation, including liking, commenting, and sharing, was significantly associated with perceived severity and benefits. These novel insights represent an initial step towards a deeper understanding of the purposeful and influential use of GSM during health crises. Theoretical contributions and policy implications are discussed in detail. AcknowledgmentsThe authors extend their sincere gratitude to Mrs. Lina Abour Mrad, the Director of the National E-Health Program in the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, along with her team members, Mrs. Zeinab Krayem and Mrs. Farah Mousa, for their valuable feedback on the survey process and their invaluable support in facilitating the posting of the online survey.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

The European Journal of Ageing enters the new decade with its seventh volume. By now, the Journal has built up a substantial readership, a wide network of reviewers, and receives a growing stream of submissions from many countries in Europe as well as from many other parts of the world. We as editors are grateful for the active efforts of all contributors. The year 2010 also marks an important event: the Journal will receive an impact factor from Thomson ISI. This first impact factor is calculated for the year 2009, and will be based on citations in 2009 to Journal articles from 2007 to 2008. It is expected to be published by June, 2010. Please watch the Springer website for its release. No doubt, the publication of an impact factor will contribute to the viability of the Journal.
Now we have put six years past us, it is time to take stock of the Journal’s development. Did the Journal live up to its mission statement to ‘understand ageing in Europe and the world over’? In other words, from which countries exactly are published articles originating? And to what extent do published articles reflect collaboration between countries? A further part of the mission statement is ‘to publish original articles on the social, behavioural and health-related aspects of ageing and encourage an integrated approach between these aspects.’ This leads to questions such as: To what extent were published articles interdisciplinary in content? Can a development be seen towards more interdisciplinarity?
The editors have addressed these questions by building a dataset of all published articles through 2009. In this period, 159 articles were published, including editorials and reports. When the six editorials by the editors-in-chief are disregarded, this makes 153 publications. Excluding other editorials and reports, the article count is 146.
Let us first address the origins of the published articles. In Table 1, it can be observed that the first volume was strictly European—which does seem proper for the opening issue of a European journal. This volume in fact consisted of one special issue, with all contributions invited by the editors. However, through the following years, the percentage of contributions from other parts of the world increased, with a maximum of 26% in volume 5. The bottom row of Table 1 shows the percentage of contributions that were co-authored by scholars from countries different from the first author’s. Volume 1 scores highest with 67% cross-national contributions, corresponding to the theme of this special issue: ‘Cross-European research’. It is good to see that in the subsequent volumes, the percentage of cross-national collaborative articles increased to 31 in volume 6. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the majority of publications stem from Northern and Western Europe. Specific countries that contributed most were Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom with around 20 articles each. From other parts of the world, Hong Kong and Lebanon are worth mentioning as contributors. Two parts of the world that are missing in this list are Eastern Europe and Latin America, although especially Eastern European scholars did co-author some contributions.
Table 1
Country of first author (%) from volume 1 (2004) to volume 6 (2009)
Turning to the disciplinary content of the contributions, Table 2 shows the number of disciplines, broadly defined as ‘social’, ‘behavioural’, and ‘health’, addressed in published articles. These counts are limited to the original investigations and the reviews, while the editorials and reports are disregarded. Again, volume 1 stands out with the highest percentage of articles addressing all three disciplines, corresponding with its intended profile. In the subsequent volumes, there is considerable fluctuation in content, which seems a normal pattern for a journal that publishes a modest 30 articles yearly. Nevertheless, it is good to see that in total (last column), just over half (52%) of the contributions are based on at least two disciplines. A further observation from Table 2 is that methodological articles are scarce.
Table 2
Interdisciplinary content (%) from volume 1 (2004) to volume 6 (2009)
Other bits of information can be derived from the article data, such as the facts that EJA published 11 reviews that from the 125 original investigations 3 had a qualitative approach and 3 used mixed methods, and that we had 10 contributions in the section ‘Critical positions in ageing research’. Furthermore, 95 (66%) of the research articles were submitted on the initiative of the author as opposed to recruited by the editors (e.g. for special sections). Finally, nine guest editors were responsible for articles published in special sections.
In all, these data provide a profile of the European Journal of Ageing as distinct from other journals. First, it is concentrated on Europe but not exclusively so. Second, it is a forum for a growing number of cross-national collaborative publications. Third, it publishes preferably interdisciplinary research—according to some scholars, the only type of research that leads to proper insight into ageing.
The data also show some areas where we could direct more efforts. In the first place, it would be good to encourage submissions of articles with first authors from other parts of the world than Northern and Western Europe, in particular Eastern European articles. As a second point, it also seems good to encourage more submissions using qualitative approaches—exclusively or in combination with quantitative approaches. As a third point, only a small minority of the articles published addressed methodological issues.
Elaborating on the latter point, the editors are convinced that research on ageing is still developing further and should be accompanied by methodological advances. We feel that here special encouragement is needed. Therefore, from this seventh volume we launch, as a twin sister to our section on ‘Critical positions in ageing research’, a new section on ‘Methodological issues in ageing research’. This section will provide an option for authors to communicate methodological problems, challenges, solutions, or directions to go that are important to research on ageing, and to cross-European research on ageing in particular. Specific topics may include challenges related to translation doing quantitative or qualitative research, cross-country sampling strategies, rigorous cross-country comparisons using both good theory and good statistics, and measurement instrument development. The format of such articles may deviate from the standard Introduction–Methods–Results–Discussion structure. Perhaps needless to state, contributions submitted for this section will undergo regular review. With this section, EJA aims to further profile itself as a journal that supports the badly needed development of methodological standards of ageing research across Europe and the world over.
Let us now turn to the current issue 1 of volume 7. Two of the articles seem to be immediate responses to the points that we concluded need more attention: they are from authors in South Europe (Bilotta et al. 2010; Sousa et al. 2010). One of these is based on qualitative methods and is moreover innovative in that it addresses a common issue of life which has received very little attention from researchers so far: the inheritance process (Sousa et al. 2010). In the other two articles, we recognise the predominance of contributions from Western Europe: one is from Germany, reporting on the highly relevant issue of socioeconomic differences in health (Schollgen et al. 2010) and the other, a review paper, from the Netherlands addressing another highly relevant issue: prevention of disability in frail older persons (Daniels et al. 2010). This collection of articles certainly represents a good start of the new decennium for the EJA.

Abstract Introduction: With it becoming a global pandemic, the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) imposed public health restraints that hampered patient’s presentation to hospitals. In Lebanon, little is known about the presentation patterns of acute appendicitis (AA) patients among different population groups during the COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rates of cases seen during the pandemic period, the adopted management strategies, and evaluate the patient outcomes compared to presentations from previous years. Methods: This is a retrospective, observational cohort study with no interventional procedures. All patients presented to our tertiary health care center were diagnosed with AA between February 2019 and February 2021 comprised the study analysis. We divided our patients into the pre-pandemic period cohort March 1 st , 2019, till February 29 th , 2020, and the pandemic period cohort March 1 st 2020 till March 1 st 2021. Results: We collected data retrospectively from 342 patients: 201 patients presented in the pre-pandemic period and 141 during the pandemic period. Male predominance was seen in both cohorts (51.7% and 58.9% respectively). A decrease in the number of AA cases was seen during the pandemic, however, the duration of symptoms before presentation was similar in both cohorts (p=0.382) Additionally, the number of complicated appendicitis cases was not different between cohorts. The main imaging modality was CT in both groups with no statistically significant difference in the type of imaging between them (p=0.398). Further, the predominant treatment modality remained surgery during the pandemic, with no difference between both periods (p=0.200), and no statistically significant difference in the type of surgery performed as laparoscopic surgery remained the most common surgery type in the pandemic period (p=0.43). Finally, no extra surgical and post-surgical complications were identified. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study is an example of how the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly affect patients presenting for AA. Despite the COVID-19-related restrictions, Lebanese patients with worrying symptoms were presenting to the emergency department and the American University of Beirut Medical Center was providing them with the standards of care. Our study mirrors the Lebanese experience and gives an example of a population that focused more on their current symptoms than the fear of acquiring the COVID-19 virus. Further research is needed to assess whether this was the correct approach during these times.

As a result of civilian deaths in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Chechnya, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon, cluster munitions have been recognised to pose a grave threat to civilian populations because of their limited precision and problematically high rate of initial failure to explode. Efforts are intensifying to ban cluster munitions and to mandate those who have discharged them to defuse them effectively so as to reduce the risks to civilians. This editorial reviews these efforts and identifies a need for them to be actively supported by both the legal and medical communities.

The prevalence of tobacco smoking in Lebanon is among the highest globally. This study aims to determine past attempts to quit smoking among adults and identify factors associated with intentions to quit. A nationally representative telephone survey was conducted between June and August 2022. Eligibility criteria included people aged >=18 years residing in Lebanon. The questionnaire was divided into three components: socio-demographic characteristics, cigarette and waterpipe tobacco use behaviours. Binary logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with intention to quit cigarette and waterpipe tobacco use. A total of 2003 respondents were included in the study. The prevalence of any tobacco product use was 41 %, the prevalence of current cigarette smoking was 41 % and the prevalence of current waterpipe tobacco use was 20 %. Approximately 24 % of adults who smoke cigarettes and 26 % of those who use waterpipe tobacco had previous quit attempts mainly due to health concerns. Intentions to quit smoking within the next 6 months were reported among 12 % of survey respondents. Among adults who smoke, past quit attempts increased the likelihood of intentions to quit cigarette smoking by 5-fold (OR: 5.11; 95 % CI: 1.80––14.47, p = 0.002) and waterpipe tobacco use by 7-fold (OR: 6.98, 95 % CI: 2.63––18.51, p=<0.001). Age and income were associated with intentions to quit cigarette but not waterpipe tobacco use. Intention to quit smoking was strongly associated with past quitting attempts. Understanding factors associated with intentions to quit can help inform the development of context specific smoking cessation interventions.

Background : Non-medical anabolic steroid (AS) use in non-professional athletes is an increasingly recognized public health problem in Europe and the United States but poorly studied in the Middle East. Research question : The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and determinants of anabolic steroid use amongst adult fitness centre attendees in the Greater Beirut area, Lebanon. Type of study : A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Methods :Subjects: The targeted population included all gym attendees in Greater Beirut aged 18 or above. Professional or career athletes competing in organized sports were excluded. Questionnaire: A questionnaire was used to survey participants on demographic information, history of anabolic steroid usage and possible determinants of use. Sampling: A list of 53 fitness centres in the Greater Beirut area was identified. Thirty-three gyms agreed to permit access to their centres. Trained research assistants distributed the questionnaire to all gym attendees on arrival, during equally selected day and evening intervals. A total of 523 gym attendees completed the survey. Results : The prevalence of any history of anabolic steroid use was 10.7%. The majority of users (78.2%) were aware of the adverse health effects. The main reason for usage reported was body image enhancement (82.0%). Demographic factors associated with anabolic steroid use were: male gender, separated/divorced status and full-time employment. Conclusion : Non-medical anabolic steroid use is a public health concern in Lebanon that should be addressed by monitoring AS use in health clubs and with educational programs aimed at high-risk groups, health practitioners and health clubs that not only focus on risk awareness but also on media literacy and body image attitudes.

Background: The physical therapy scope of practice is dynamic and responsive to societal health needs, and it is newly concerned with identifying and maximizing the quality of life through promotion and prevention (WCPT, 2013). Hence integrating of a philosophical and physical notion such as the Copernican theory of mediocrity into the physical therapy research field is a fulfillment of the aforementioned scope of practice. Yet this integration has never been conducted in a sense that relates to physical therapy, making it an essential first step towards achieving further extensive work about this notion in the different fields of health. Note that the last census in Lebanon was held in 1932, and all official health data date back to this census.

The prevalence of oral diseases, out breaks in preventable communicable diseases, and reduced breastfeeding rates in both developed and developing countries are major public health problems. Previous literature tackled knowledge, attitude, and practice (K A P) on breastfeeding, immunization, and oral health showing lots of discrepancies. Therefore, findings from studies showed that these public health problems can be resolved if educational interventions are implemented in all of the three child care practices. The objective of this study examines K, A, P on breastfeeding, immunization, and oral health in Lebanese Primary healthcare centers (PHCC) while examining 2 exposure groups; a group that received education and a group that didn’t. This cross sectional study targeted mothers in 4 Lebanese PHC centers during June and November 2019. A multicomponent questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of participants (N = 1,172). Chi square tests were conducted between exposed and non-exposed groups to education. Factors associated with breastfeeding practice were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. The results of the study showed that participants had good immunization practice, yet average knowledge, attitude, and practice in oral health and breastfeeding. The provision of education, having good breastfeeding knowledge indicators, nationality as well as one attitude indicator showed associations with breastfeeding practice. At the end of this study, misconceptions were revealed, as well as low attitude, and reduced practice towards oral health and breastfeeding in mothers attending educational sessions in PHCC. The findings suggest a platform for new community based interventions aiming to enhance breastfeeding rates and reduce dental problems.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a serious public health crisis, can affect all ages, even children. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practices of parents living in Lebanon towards the COVID-19 in children.A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between June and July 2021, targeting parents living in Lebanon. The questionnaire was divided into 4 parts: socio-demographic, knowledge, attitude, and practices. A score was calculated to evaluate parents' knowledge towards COVID-19 in children. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted. Then, determinants of COVID-19 knowledge were assessed using multivariable linear regression. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.A total of 429 parents were included. The mean knowledge score was 11.28 ± 2.19 out of 15. Knowledge was significantly lower among older (p = 0.022), and single parents (p = 0.035), who don't know if COVID-19 is a serious disease (p < 0.001) and if it will be successfully controlled (p = 0.007), and higher among female parents (p = 0.006). The majority of parents had a positive attitude and good practices towards COVID-19 in children, but 76.7% of them were worried about their child getting coronavirus. About 66.9% of parents expressed their willingness to vaccinate their kids when a vaccine would be available for them, and 66.2% answered that they are sending or willing to send their children to the school or the nursery.Parents' knowledge about COVID-19 in children was good, but remains lower among older and single parents. Health authorities should conduct awareness campaigns to target specific groups of parents who lacked critical knowledge about COVID-19 in children.

The Lebanese Active Healthy Kids Work Group (LAHKWG) synthesized literature published on physical activity (PA) indicators among ages 5- to 17- year-olds, using a recommended harmonized process by the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance (AHKGA), to explore Lebanon's performance since its previous report card publication.Peer reviewed literature, national surveys, and gray literature published since 2017, on 10 common AHKGA and two LAHKWG recommended indicators were examined. Common indicators included overall PA, organized sport and PA, active play, active transportation, community and environment, sedentary behaviors, physical fitness, family and peers, school, and government. LAHKWG recommended indicators were sleep and weight status. LAHKWG members reviewed 764 records, of which 28 were selected for full review. A grade was assigned for each indicator using AHKGA's grading rubric and established benchmarks on data from nationally representative samples for children and youth.Data from one nationally representative sample were available for ages 13-17 years (i.e., no data <13 years). Five indicators received "Incomplete" (organized sport and PA; active Play; physical fitness; family and peers; community and environment); overall PA received a D-; active transportation and sleep received a D+; school and government received a D; sedentary behaviors received a C; and weight status received a B-.The LAHKWG strongly encourages stakeholders to take concrete actions towards prioritizing PA promotion at a national level especially in the education sector. Offering more quality PA opportunities for Lebanese children and youth will be beneficial for their physical and mental health in any context.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are associated with substantial disease burdens, including impaired quality of life, functional disability, and lost productivity. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are essential to reducing disease burden and improving long-term outcomes but remain difficult to achieve. Methods: To better understand the deficiencies contributing to diagnostic and therapeutic delays in RA and AS in Lebanon, a computer-assisted survey of 1,200 Lebanese citizens was conducted about their awareness and knowledge of these diseases, including characteristics and management. Results: Approximately two-thirds and one-third of the survey participants had heard of RA and AS, respectively; two-thirds admitted they knew little about either disease after interviewers provided detailed descriptions. Most participants were aware of the major signs and symptoms of the disease, but most were unaware of serious related comorbidities and complications. While 63% identified rheumatologists as healthcare providers specializing in RA treatment, 89% indicated orthopedists were treating physicians for AS. More than three-quarters of participants understood that early treatment can be effective in RA and AS in preventing disease progression and joint damage, but two-thirds mistakenly considered treatment to be a cure. Among participants who had RA vs AS (57 [4.8%] vs 28 [2.3%]), 21.1% vs 7.1% visited a rheumatologist when initially experiencing symptoms; 64.9% vs 35.7% visited a rheumatologist for follow-up care after diagnosis. Conclusion: To close gaps in knowledge and management of RA and AS, initiatives are needed to raise public awareness and educate patients and healthcare providers about the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging public health issue. Pregnant women are susceptible to its negative psychological impact. Particularly, pre-natal psychological health is critical as it can affect the well-being of the mothers and their fetuses. The present study aimed to assess the Covid-19 psychological impact on pregnant women, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and fear related to COVID-19 as well as to investigate their associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women in Lebanon between 17th November 2020 and 27th February 2021. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data about participants’ baseline characteristics and psychological status, including PTSD, depression as well as fear related to COVID-19. Results Out of the 466 respondents, 28.5% (n = 133) had PTSD related to Covid-19, and 22.1% (n = 133) had depression. The mean score for the fear of Covid-19 was 18.51 ± 5.55. Pregnant women’s depression and fear of Covid-19 were significantly associated with PTSD (adjusted OR = 5.85 with 95% CI of 3.37 to10.16; adjusted OR = 1.19 with 95% CI of 1.13 to 1.26, respectively). Furthermore, smoking during pregnancy and encountering difficulties in accessing healthcare during the pandemic were found to be associated with depression, while practicing home quarantine was found to be associated with the fear of Covid-19. Pregnant women who perceived high risks towards Covid-19 and those who experienced PTSD had high levels of both depression and the fear of Covid-19 compared to their counterparts. Conclusion High levels of PTSD, depression, and fear of Covid-19 were detected among Lebanese pregnant women. This recommends further psychological interventions to mitigate these levels.

Subject Mental health problems in Lebanon. Significance The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) in 2014 launched the National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) to reform the mental health system and scale up services. In April 2017, it announced plans to cover mental health in all primary healthcare centres. However, the overall system is uncoordinated and overstretched. Impacts Without additional budget, primary health centres will not cover mental health expenses. The mental health strategy may allow more training of medical personnel in primary healthcare centres. Both financial constraints and the political atmosphere may limit provision for Syrian refugees, despite their great needs.

Introduction Lebanon has battled the COVID-19 pandemic in the midst of an economic crisis. The evolution of the pandemic and a fragile health system have meant that public health policy has had to rely heavily on non-pharmaceutical interventions for disease control. However, changes in disease dynamics, an unraveling economy, and pandemic fatigue have meant that disease control policies need to be updated. Methods Using recent and timely data on older (50 years and above) Syrian refugees in Lebanon, this paper uses multivariate linear probability models to explore the determinants of adherence to two non-pharmaceutical COVID-19 prevention measures (wearing a mask and avoiding social gatherings) among this high-risk subgroup in a vulnerable population. Among respondents who report adhering to these measures, the paper also investigates the determinants of sustained adherence over a period of 6 months. Results The findings suggest that no individual-level characteristics were robustly associated with mask wearing. For avoiding social gatherings, education was inversely associated with adherence to this preventive measure. Avoiding social gatherings was also significantly lower for residents of informal tented settlements (ITSs). Among initial adherents, and for both preventive practices, ITS dwellers were also significantly less likely to maintain adherence. Conclusion Identifying variables associated with adherence to non-pharmaceutical preventive practices, particularly for vulnerable groups, can help inform and refine interventions in the face of changing conditions. The material, physical, administrative and socio-economic constraints of life in an ITS suggest that avoiding social gatherings is hardly feasible. Yet despite the challenging conditions of ITSs, the indication to wear a mask is initially complied with, suggesting that tailoring policies to the limits and constrains of context can lead to successful outcomes even in very adverse settings.

Abstract Lebanon has battled the COVID-19 pandemic in the midst of an economic crisis. The evolution of the pandemic and a fragile health system have meant that public health policy has had to rely heavily on non-pharmaceutical interventions for disease control. However, changes in disease dynamics and pandemic fatigue have meant that disease control policies need to be updated. Identifying variables associated with adherence to non-pharmaceutical preventive practices, particularly for vulnerable groups, can therefore help inform and refine interventions in the face of pandemic fatigue and changing disease dynamics. Using recent and timely data on older (50 years and above) Syrian refugees in Lebanon, this paper explores the determinants of adherence to two non-pharmaceutical COVID-19 prevention measures (wearing a mask and avoiding social gatherings) among this high-risk subgroup in a vulnerable population. Among respondents who report adhering to these measures, the paper also identifies the determinants of sustained adherence over a period of 6 months. The findings suggest that older refugees and those less educated are less likely to wear a mask, and refugees living in informal tented settlements are more likely to relent on preventive practices within 6 months. Individuals with chronic diseases who initially report avoiding social gatherings are also likelier to desist than those without chronic illness. The lower continued adherence to mask wearing among residents of informal tented settlements points to factors beyond pandemic fatigue and that should be taken into consideration in devising measures for disease control: the potential for community-based norms to determine individual-level behavior. Recognizing the pivotal effect of community-based norms in settings such as informal tented settlements is essential in adapting current policy and designing future interventions.

BACKGROUND: Waterpipe smoking becomes a public health problem in countries where it is brought from the Middle East. The objective was to compare prevalence of waterpipe smoking among university students (WSAUS) in two countries of the former Soviet Union Russia and Ukraine with countries with traditional use of waterpipe and those where it has recently arisen. METHODS: A systematic review of research of WSAUS was conducted with the use of PubMed. Survey of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy students (Kiev, Ukraine) was conducted in 2007-2009 and of Kazan medical university (Kazan, Russia) in 2010. RESULTS: Nineteen studies of WSAUS were revealed. Daily WSAUS was only addresses in four studies and varied from about 1% in Lebanon and Pakistan to 7% in men in Syria. Prevalence of daily smoking in Russia (0.6%) did not exceed that. Current smoking varied greatly: 5.6-35.0% for all, 14.6-49.6% for males, 4.9-20.2% for females. Last week WSAUS varied from 3.3% in Pakistan to 9.3 in Lebanon. Measurements in Russia (3.5%) fall into this interval. Last month WSAUS varied from 9.5% to 20% in Iran, Pakistan, and USA with 13-14% measured in Russia and Ukraine. Last year WSAUS was between 18.7% in Pakistan and 30.6% in USA. Measurements in Kiev (39.7%) and Kazan (52.3%) were much higher. Ever smoking of waterpipe was 37.9% in UK, 53.6% in Pakistan, and somewhat higher in Russia and Ukraine. CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of period prevalence indicators in selected universities of Ukraine and Russia shows that daily, weekly, monthly prevalence indicators are similar to those in countries with traditional use of waterpipe. Last year and life time smoking indicators in Russia and Ukraine are higher than those in countries with traditional and newly established waterpipe use. To measure prevalence of waterpipe smoking questions with clearly specified time spans (day, week, month, year, lifetime) are needed.

Two measures of care were estimated from a random sample of 2033 (65%) bills presented to the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) by hospitals from all over Lebanon in February 1994. Average length-of-stay was 5 days in surgery, 5.5 days in medicine, and 2.4 days in obstetrics. Average daily costs of hospitalization were 296,971 LL (approximately 170 US$) in surgery, 142,690 LL (approximately 81.5 US$) in medicine, and 225,000 LL (approximately 129 US$) in obstetrics. While neither one of these outcomes was affected by patients' sex, differences were found by age, and hospitals' geographical location and classification. Implications and recommendations for effective evaluation of subsidized care, and better allocation of public funds are discussed.

Background Hispanics in Lebanon and Reading, Pennsylvania, experience high levels of socioeconomic and health disparities in risk factors for chronic disease. In 2018, our community-academic coalition “Better Together” received a Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) award to improve healthy lifestyles. This report describes our work-in-progress and lessons learned to date from our REACH-supported initiatives in Lebanon and Reading. Methods For the past 4 years, our coalition has leveraged strong community collaborations to implement and evaluate culturally-tailored practice- and evidence-based activities aimed at increasing physical activity, healthy nutrition, and community-clinical linkages. This community case report summarizes the context where our overall program was implemented, including the priority population, target geographical area, socioeconomic and health disparities data, community-academic coalition, conceptual model, and details the progress of the Better Together initiative in the two communities impacted. Results To improve physical activity, we are: (1) creating new and enhancing existing trails connecting everyday destinations through city redesigning and master planning, (2) promoting outdoor physical activity, (3) increasing awareness of community resources for chronic disease prevention, and (4) supporting access to bikes for youth and families. To improve nutrition, we are: (1) expanding access to locally-grown fresh fruit and vegetables in community and clinical settings, through the Farmers Market Nutrition Program to beneficiaries of the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program and the Veggie Rx to patients who are at risk for or have diabetes, and (2) providing bilingual breastfeeding education. To enhance community-clinical linkages, we are training bilingual community health workers to connect at-risk individuals with diabetes prevention programs. Conclusions Intervening in areas facing high chronic disease health disparities leads us to develop a community-collaborative blueprint that can be replicated across Hispanic communities in Pennsylvania and the United States.

Abstract Background In Lebanon, there is a scarcity of data related to road traffic injuries (RTIs), and the available one is of poor quality. Thus, a hospital-based RTI surveillance system was launched by the Lebanese ministry of health in 2013 in private and public-run hospitals in the Bekaa governorate. Objectives: The present paper aimed to describe the characteristics and the severity of RTIs recorded over two years during the piloting of the hospital-based RTI surveillance system. Methods: The data collected round-the-clock from the Emergency department (ED) was used to conduct a retrospective analysis of population-based injuries hospitalized for road traffic crashes (RTC). This collected data from each person injured or killed in an RTC were reported passively by designated focal persons to the epidemiological surveillance program on a weekly basis, using a standardized form. The form included demographic, crash-related variables, body lesions, and vital-sign clinical presentation. Data were coded using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and entered using Epidata software then transferred to SPSS for analysis. Trauma scores were calculated to rank the severity of injuries. Results Over a period of two years extending from 2013 to 2015, a total of 1576 cases of RTIs were reported. The male-to-female ratio was 2.16 and the majority of RTIs (44.4%) was recorded among those aged between 15 to 29 years old. Out of the total, 51.3% of the accidents occurred during the afternoon time and the most injured parts of the body were the head (46%) and the extremities (75%). From 2013 to 2015, a decrease of 0.7% in the revised trauma score (RTS < 4) was recorded. On the contrary, an increase of 3.9% in injury severity score (ISS) that ranged between 15 and 75 was reported. The probability of survival of an injured individual at one month was improved (from 86.1% in 2013 to 94.1% in 2015). Conclusion Despite the presence of some limitations, the piloted RTI surveillance system showed its ability to collect accurate data on RTIs.

During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, low- and middle-income countries have rapidly scaled up intensive care unit (ICU) capacities. Doing this without monitoring the quality of care poses risks to patient safety and may negatively affect patient outcomes. While monitoring the quality of care is routine in high-income countries, it is not systematically implemented in most low- and middle-income countries. In this resource-scarce context, there is a paucity of feasibly implementable tools to monitor the quality of ICU care. Lebanon is an upper middle-income country that, during the autumn and winter of 2020-1, has had increasing demands for ICU beds for COVID-19. The World Health Organization has supported the Ministry of Public Health to increase ICU beds at public hospitals by 300%, but no readily available tool to monitor the quality of ICU care was available.The objective with this study was to describe the process of rapidly developing and implementing a tool to monitor the quality of ICU care at public hospitals in Lebanon.In the midst of the escalating pandemic, we applied a systematic approach to develop a realistically implementable quality assurance tool. We conducted a literature review, held expert meetings and did a pilot study to select among identified quality indicators for ICU care that were feasible to collect during a 1-hour ICU visit. In addition, a limited set of the identified indicators that were quantifiable were specifically selected for a scoring protocol to allow comparison over time as well as between ICUs.A total of 44 quality indicators, which, using different methods, could be collected by an external person, were selected for the quality of care tool. Out of these, 33 were included for scoring. When tested, the scores showed a large difference between hospitals with low versus high resources, indicating considerable variation in the quality of care.The proposed tool is a promising way to systematically assess and monitor the quality of care in ICUs in the absence of more advanced and resource-demanding systems. It is currently in use in Lebanon. The proposed tool may help identifying quality gaps to be targeted and can monitor progress. More studies to validate the tool are needed.

Abstract Background Childhood injury is a neglected public health problem with a sizeable burden on children’s well-being and their families. This study aims to describe the pattern and types of childhood injuries and to determine the level of mothers’ Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) towards childhood injury prevention in Lebanon. The study further examines the association between childhood injury occurrence and mothers’ supervision. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited mothers of children aged up to 10 years from multiple sites (i.e., a medical center, a private clinic, a healthcare facility, and a refugee camp clinic). Data were collected on mothers’ KAP toward childhood injuries using self-administrated questionnaires. A summation score for KAP correct answers was calculated and descriptive and statistical analyses were performed to measure the association between the outcomes. Results A total of 264 mothers were surveyed and injury data were collected on their 464 children. The prevalence of childhood injury was 20% in the past 12 months, mostly sustained by males (53.8%) and children aged 5–10 years (38.7%). The most common type of injury was fall (48.4%), followed by burns (%7.5), and sports injuries (7.5%). Hospitalized children were more likely to be males and older than 5 years ( p < 0.001). More than one-third of the mothers demonstrated poor knowledge, while the majority showed poor practice (54.4%), and fair attitude (45.6%) towards child injury prevention. Children of working mothers have three times higher odds of sustaining injuries (OR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.60;5.47) compared to those of non-working mothers, accounting for possible confounders ( p = 0.001). Conclusion Childhood injuries represent a major health problem in Lebanon. Findings from this study showed that mothers are less knowledgeable and unprepared to prevent their children from getting injured. Educational programs are much needed to address the gap in the mothers' KAP toward child injury prevention. Further studies are recommended to understand the cultural context and examine its key determinants to identify effective strategies and develop tailored interventions for preventing childhood injuries.

Abstract Background Refugees are prone to higher risks of injury due to often austere living conditions, social and economic disadvantages, and limited access to health care services in host countries. This study aims to systematically quantify the prevalence of physical injuries and burns among the refugee community in Western Lebanon and to examine injury characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes. Methods We conducted a cluster-based population survey across 21 camps in the Beqaa region of Lebanon from February to April 2019. A modified version of the ‘Surgeons Overseas Assessment of Surgical Need (SOSAS)’ tool (Version 3.0) was administered to the head of the refugee households and documented all injuries sustained by family members over the last 12 months. Descriptive and univariate regression analyses were performed to understand the association between variables. Results 750 heads of households were surveyed. 112 (14.9%) households sustained injuries in the past 12 months, 39 of which (34.9%) reported disabling injuries that affected their work and daily living. Injuries primarily occurred inside the tent (29.9%). Burns were sustained by at least one household member in 136 (18.1%) households in total. The majority (63.7%) of burns affected children under 5 years and were mainly due to boiling liquid (50%). Significantly more burns were reported in households where caregivers cannot lock children outside the kitchen while cooking (25.6% vs 14.9%, p-value = 0.001). Similarly, households with unemployed heads had significantly more reported burns (19.7% vs. 13.3%, p value = 0.05). Nearly 16.1% of the injured refugees were unable to seek health care due to the lack of health insurance coverage and financial liability. Conclusions Refugees severely suffer from injuries and burns, causing substantial human and economic repercussions on the affected individuals, their families, and the host healthcare system. Resources should be allocated toward designing safe camps as well as implementing educational awareness campaigns specifically focusing on teaching about heating and cooking safety practices.

Abstract Background Waterpipe smoking rates in Lebanon are among the highest in the in the world. Research has documented the effectiveness of introducing pictorial health warning labels (PHWLs) in curbing waterpipe smoking. Seventeen years after ratification of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and twelve years post adoption of a tobacco control law, PHWLs have not yet been implemented in Lebanon. This study aims to gain insight into stakeholders opinions and recommendations for adopting and implementing PHWLs on WP products within the current tobacco control policy environment. Methods We conducted 13 online interviews with policymakers, media, owners of establishments that serve waterpipe, as well as international and local NGO representatives whose mandate is tobacco control. During the interview process, key informants were shown PHWLs on waterpipe tobacco products and asked about feasibility of implementation and enforcement. National documents and legislations related to PHWLs were obtained from public record. We conducted content analysis on the documents. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically. Results The majority of the key informants agreed on who is responsible for enforcement of PHWLs and on the contextual obstacles to enforcement. Main barriers to implement PHWLs on WP products were: 1) the fact that the WP is a multi-component tobacco use method that will require including all WP components (charcoal, tobacco, device); 2) WP usually is used in several locations (e.g., home, restaurants); and 3) WP is sold via multiple sources (supermarkets, tobacco shop, etc). Stakeholders recommended some solutions to address barriers to implementation. Conclusions Stakeholders responsible for implementation of PHWLs need to take into consideration contextual barriers as well as the particularities of waterpipe tobacco smoking in terms of multiple components used to smoke, locations of consumption, and sources where it is sold. Key messages • Implementing PHWLs on waterpipe tobacco products requires distinct understanding of policy environment and context. • Implementing PHWLs on waterpipe tobacco products needs to address the complex nature of waterpipe smoking as a multi-component tobacco use method .

Subject Religious communities and their COVID-19 responses. Significance Across the Middle East, responses by religious leaders and given communities to government-imposed restrictions to combat COVID-19 have varied widely, ranging from support to ambiguity to outright resistance. Impacts Support for prevention measures from both Sunni and Shia senior clerics in Iraq should help avoid new fault lines. In Lebanon, popular anger towards corrupt sectarian parties will resurface once the health crisis recedes. Israel’s approach in enforcing compliance among the ultra-Orthodox will compound community mistrust of public health authorities. In controlled Gulf environments, any conservative discontent over restrictions on worship is unlikely to find public voice. Bahrain would be the most likely flashpoint in the Gulf for sectarian confrontations if infections spiked.

The study examines the effect of trust in media and information sources about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on adopting prevention measures, and whether fear and perceived knowledge mediate this relationship. It focuses on Lebanon during a period of political and economic crises and prevalent public distrust in government and the media. Through a cross-sectional survey and a nationally representative probability sample, data collection from 1536 participants took place between March 27 and April 23, 2020. The findings establish a direct relationship between trust and adopting prevention measures, but only partial mediation of fear and perceived knowledge. This suggests that media trust has a strong independent effect on prevention measures and is only partially mediated by fear and to a lesser extent by perceived knowledge. These findings highlight the importance of trust in media, government, and public health information sources, even during chaotic economic and political circumstances common in the Global South.

Abstract Background Conflict-driven disruption in continuity of care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is likely to have adverse public health impact. Yet, data on the prevalence and treatment coverage of NCDs among refugees is scarce. In this study we aim to assess the changes in prevalence of NCDs and use of relevant medication among Syrian refugees from a near-conflict phase in Lebanon to a resettlement phase in Norway. Methods This is a prospective cohort study. Survey data were collected during 2017-2018 among adult Syrian refugees in Lebanon selected for quota resettlement and at follow-up approximately one year after resettlement in Norway. Our primary outcomes were changes in NCDs as defined by the WHO and use of relevant medication. We calculated prevalence proportions with confidence intervals and assessed changes in prevalence over time using generalized estimating equations. Results Altogether 353 Syrians participated. The median age was 34 years and 51 percent were women. The overall prevalence of NCDs was 12 (9-16) percent at baseline and 9 (6-12) percent at follow-up. The odds ratio for reporting any NCD at follow-up compared to baseline was 0.68 (0.46, 1.00). Among those reporting NCDs, the prevalence of using either antithrombotic or cholesterol lowering medication, antihypertensives, antidiabetics, or drugs for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was 55 (39-70) percent at baseline and 63 (44-80) percent at follow-up. The odds ratio for using relevant medication at follow-up compared to baseline was 1.01 (0.63, 2.05). Conclusions In our study around one tenth of the refugees reported at least one NCD. Nearly half of those reporting NCDs in a conflict-near setting did not seem to receive relevant medication, while the same was true for more than one third of respondents after resettlement. We call for innovative public health approaches and interventions to protect continuity of care for NCDs in settings of conflict-driven exodus. Key messages A high share of Syrian refugees reporting NCDs do not seem to receive relevant medication. The management of NCDs among refugees needs attention in order to avoid negative health effects.

51% of a representative sample of students enrolled at a university in Lebanon during 1974-75 had never smoked. 42% were current smokers the great majority of whom (69%) had started the habit between the ages of 16-20 years. The highest smoking rate among all schools was that for medical students. No statistically significant difference in smoking characteristics was observed by sex nationality or religion of the student. 95% of all students were aware of the health hazards of smoking. This study emphasized that future smoking control programs should be directed at youngsters under age 16--before they begin the habit--regardless of sex nationality or religion. Because of their future responsibilities and in light of the high rate of smoking among them medical students deserve special attention. (authors)

Background: With the Iraqi war launched on 2003, more than 2 million Iraqi became refugees in neighboring countries, as Lebanon. The characteristic of these refugees is that they are urban refugees from a middle income country, with satisfactory basic state of health. Methods: Our study was conducted among Iraqi refugees in a Beirut suburb, and compared with studies. Results: Infectious Diseases: The epidemiology of some infectious diseases in Iraqi refuges differs from other refugees group, the prevalence of abnormal chest radiograph (0.7%); culture confirmed TB (0%) hepatitis B (0.7%) and intestinal parasites was much lower than those in other recent refugee population resettled in the United States. Chronic Diseases: Whereas the prevalence of infectious diseases is not problematic, the prevalence of chronic diseases represents the main public health problem for this population. Our study conducted among the Iraqi population over the age of 40 years old, in Beirut suburb, found out a prevalence of 51.25% for obesity, 44% dyslipidemia, 32.5% hypertension, 18% diabetes I, 7% diabetes II, and 17.5% for the combination of hypertension and diabetes, with a higher prevalence among the male population: 65% vs. 35% for hypertension, 60% vs. 40% diabetes and71 vs.29 for hypertension and diabetes. The main reasons are the sedentary life style, obesity, the stress, high level of salt intake, smoking, genetics and family history. Mental Health Diseases: High rates of mental health concerns have been documented in various refugee populations, with a high rate of post –traumatic stress disorder. From observations based on distress indicators, more than 50% of the families in Lebanon presented at least 8 indicators. The cross analyses of these results shows that Iraqi refugees are undergoing a period of serious emotional and psychosocial threats that create widespread distress in living environment. Conclusion: Diseases prevalence vary greatly between refugees from different countries, some infectious conditions that have been the traditional focus of refugee health assessment such as tuberculosis, cholera, intestinal infections are not prevalent in Iraqi refugees, but non- infectious, chronic conditions, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, are prevalent and important concerns in this population, mental health issues should also be considered and screened.

Improper discharge of wastewater is a main environmental and health concern for the town of Bebnine in north Lebanon. The community in general, and its health professionals in particular, believe that the fecal contamination of its different sources of water (springs, artesian wells, cisterns, irrigation water) is directly responsible for the high occurrence of enteric diseases in the town, some of which are perceived as endemic. Preliminary water analyses in 2003 confirmed the community’s concern, including the unexpected microbial contamination of the well that supplies drinking water to two densely populated public schools. The community believes that separate and well-maintained water and sewage networks would solve their problem. In fact, a recently installed water network will carry water for drinking purposes from sources outside Bebnine before mid 2005. However, not more than 20-30% of the community is expected to benefit from the new network because of water tariffs (connection and annual subscription) that are unaffordable for the majority of the community

Background: With the Iraqi war launched on 2003, more than 2 million Iraqi became refugees in neighboring countries, as Lebanon. The characteristic of these refugees is that they are urban refugees from a middle income country, with satisfactory basic state of health. Methods: Our study was conducted among Iraqi refugees in a Beirut suburb, and compared with studies. Results Infectious Diseases: The epidemiology of some infectious diseases in Iraqi refuges differs from other refugees group, the prevalence of abnormal chest radiograph (0.7%); culture confirmed TB (0%) hepatitis B (0.7%) and intestinal parasites was much lower than those in other recent refugee population resettled in the United States. Chronic Diseases: Whereas the prevalence of infectious diseases is not problematic, the prevalence of chronic diseases represents the main public health problem for this population. Our study conducted among the Iraqi population over the age of 40 years old, in Beirut suburb, found out a prevalence of 51.25% for obesity, 44% dyslipidemia, 32.5% hypertension, 18% diabetes I, 7% diabetes II, and 17.5% for the combination of hypertension and diabetes, with a higher prevalence among the male population: 65% vs. 35% for hypertension, 60% vs. 40% diabetes and71 vs.29 for hypertension and diabetes. The main reasons are the sedentary life style, obesity, the stress, high level of salt intake, smoking, genetics and family history. Mental Health Diseases: High rates of mental health concerns have been documented in various refugee populations, with a high rate of post –traumatic stress disorder. From observations based on distress indicators, more than 50% of the families in Lebanon presented at least 8 indicators. The cross analyses of these results shows that Iraqi refugees are undergoing a period of serious emotional and psychosocial threats that create widespread distress in living environment. Conclusion: Diseases prevalence vary greatly between refugees from different countries, some infectious conditions that have been the traditional focus of refugee health assessment such as tuberculosis, cholera, intestinal infections are not prevalent in Iraqi refugees, but non- infectious, chronic conditions, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, are prevalent and important concerns in this population, mental health issues should also be considered and screened.

Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy at birth ( e 0 ) for 51 Asian countries and territories from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Method Based on age-sex-specific mortality used for estimating the changes in e 0 for years 2019, 2020, and 2021 from the 2022 revision of the World Population Prospects, we employed Arriaga’s discrete method to decompose changes in e 0 into both absolute and relative contributions of changes in age-specific death rate, and further obtained the age-sex-specific contribution to changes in e 0 by country/territory and period (i.e., 2019–2020 and 2020–2021) for Asia. Findings The COVID-19 pandemic reduced 1.66 years in e 0 of the Asian population from 2019 to 2021, slightly lower than the world average of 1.74 years. South Asia had a high loss of 3.01 years, whereas Eastern Asia had almost no changes. Oman, Lebanon, India, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and the Philippines experienced a high loss of above 2.5 years in e 0 . Despite significant national and territorial variations, the decline of e 0 in Asia was mostly from the age group of 60–79 years, followed by age groups of 80 + and 45–59 years; and age groups of children contributed little (i.e., 0–4 and 5–14 years old). Males suffered more losses than females in this pandemic. Asian nations saw less loss in e 0 in the second year of the pandemic, i.e., 2020–2021, than in the first year, i.e., 2019–2020, but this recovery trend was not observed in Southern Asia and South-Eastern Asia. Countries from Central Asia and Western Asia, such as Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, and Oman, had extraordinarily more losses in e 0 in the first year at ages around 70. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic had significantly affected e 0 of Asian populations, and most contribution to the reduction of e 0 came from the three older age groups, 60–79 years, 80 + years, and 45–59 years, with great variations across countries/territories. Our findings could have important implications for development of more resilient public health systems in Asian societies with better policy interventions for vulnerable demographic groups.

Around the world, water is considered a fundamental factor, and plays a role in public health and economic growth. Both the water development rates and the proportion of the population are directly related to water needs. Water quality regarding physiochemistry and microbiology is important in dietary needs. Drinking water is considered one of the most important food products. Therefore, the water should meet the recommended quality standards. So, it should be free of bacteria, parasites, all kinds of microorganisms, and chemical substances which are dangerous to human health. This research focused on five cities of the Alkalaa Municipal Community, which forms 43% of the inhabitants of this community, in the Bint Jbeil district south of Lebanon. The goal of this study is to determine the fundamental physicochemical and microbiological water properties of eight distinct sites, as well as the amount of pollution. These tests were carried out in accordance with World Health Organization criteria (WHO). The collected data were utilized to assess the level of pollution in the examined zone.

Abstract Background On the 11th March, the WHO has declared COVID-19 pandemic. Officially, the virus was introduced in Lebanon on the 21st February 2020. Since then, the national curve has drawn several waves. From July to September 2021, Lebanon has experienced the first delta wave. As part of the investigation, contact tracing was enhanced to limit virus transmission. The objective is to describe close tracing approach and profile of close contacts identified during the first delta wave. Methods COVID-19 surveillance is integrated within the national communicable diseases surveillance. The case definitions are adopted from WHO guides. Laboratories report positive cases on daily basis to the Ministry of Public Health, on DHIS2 platform directly or indirectly via excel files importation. Once reported, case investigation is initiated. It includes contact tracing with: 1) identification of close contacts, 2) advice on quarantine and self-monitoring, 3) contact testing. Referral to field testing is made available free of charge for close contacts. Collected data is updated on DHIS2 platform. Later, data is cleaned and analyzed to generate the daily report including description of close contacts. The report is shared with decision makers, professionals, media and public. Results From week 2021W27 to week 2021W40, 85490 cases were reported. Case investigation rate reached 78.8% of the cases were investigated within 24 hours. 66.5% of investigated cases shared lists of contacts, with 3.6 as average number of contacts per case. We identified a total of 161805 close contacts, 95% were from family members, 71% were not vaccinated and 10 % had prior COVID-19 infection. As for contact testing, 65% had RT-PCR test upon investigation, with 32% positive result. Furthermore, 19205 were referred and tested via field testing, with 25% positivity rate. Of all identified contacts, the reported positive tests reached 56,904 representing 35.2% of all contacts. Conclusion During community transmission and mitigation strategy, contact tracing contributes to increase awareness to the contacts and importance to abide to quarantine measures and thus to slow down the virus circulation. Current close contacts are characterized with new profile of prior infection, vaccination history and testing behavior. There is need to adapt the quarantine measures to close contacts based on their profile, and to ensure easy access to free testing.

Towards the end of 2019, in December, a new strain of the coronavirus was identified in Wuhan, China, causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS). The virus, known as the novel coronavirus, was later named SARS-CoV-2, one of the seven coronaviruses most closely related to the SARS and MERS coronaviruses. The WHO has announced a name for the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, and declared it a public health emergency of international concern. At the time of writing, there are 4,589,526 confirmed positive SARS-CoV-2 cases and nearly 310,391 deaths in 216 countries and territories. Countries worldwide have taken precautionary steps to prevent the spread of the epidemic. On February 21, 2020, Lebanon identified its first case and immediately ministries, government agencies and various agencies launched a public health and awareness campaign for COVID19, as well as intensified measures towards a medical emergency (travel ban from epidemic countries, closure of schools/shops/shopping centers/others to curfew).
