The effects of message framing on US police chiefs' support for interventions for opioid use disorder: a randomized survey experiment.

US chiefs of police hold significant influence over the perceived acceptability and appropriateness of interventions for opioid use disorder (OUD) among the public, elected officials, and subordinate officers. This study assessed whether police chiefs' support for such interventions was sensitive to framing an intervention's benefits in terms that emphasize public health and harm reduction outcomes, versus terms typically indicative of public safety outcomes. A two-armed survey utilizing a randomized, between-subjects design tested framing-based variance in support among US chiefs of police for overdose prevention centers, syringe service programs (SSPs), Good Samaritan laws, police naloxone distribution, trustworthiness of officers in recovery from OUD, and related propositions. Of 1,200 invitations, 276 chiefs participated (23%). The two experimental arms (n = 133, n = 143) were demographically balanced between both each other and non-respondents. Chiefs were more likely to agree that their mission was protecting public safety than protecting public health, even when both were defined using public health outcomes. Chiefs expressed significantly greater support for "overdose prevention sites" than "safe injection sites" (p = .018), low levels of support for SSPs regardless of framing (18% safety; 19% health), and comparably more support for Good Samaritan laws based on framing (62% safety vs. 54% health). Respondents voiced low levels of trust in officers recovering from OUD generally (31%), and significantly lower levels of trust when recovery involved the medication buprenorphine (10%; p < .001). Senior chiefs were significantly more likely to support SSPs (aOR 1.05; CI 1.01, 1.09) and overdose prevention sites (aOR 2.45; CI 1.13, 5.28) than less senior chiefs. In this cross-sectional survey experiment, support for some interventions for OUD was greater among US chiefs of police when framed to emphasize positive public safety outcomes. Research is required to better understand low support for SSPs, mistrust of officers in recovery for OUD, and greater support for OUD interventions among senior chiefs.

The main problem of this research is the formulation of the problem in this research, namely How is the Evaluation of the Implementation of Minimum Service Standards in the Productive Age Health Service Program at the Rimbo Kedui Community Health Center, Seluma Regency? Based on the results of the research and discussion, it can be concluded that the productive age health service program at the Rimbo Kedui Community Health Center aims to reduce the number of chronic diseases in people aged 15-59 years. However, the evaluation shows several obstacles. Human resources (HR) are not of sufficient standard, infrastructure is still lacking, and outreach to the community has not been effective, so community participation is low. Program implementation is often lumped in with other services, reducing its effectiveness. This program requires improvements in human resources, facilities and outreach strategies so that goals can be achieved and provide optimal benefits for the community.

Association of altitude with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among patients with hypertension: a cohort study in Southwest China

BackgroundAvailable evidence falls short in assessing the risk of long-term outcomes among individuals with hypertension residing at various altitudes. We aimed to investigate the association between residential altitude and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among hypertensive patients.MethodsThis cohort study encompassed 67,275 hypertensive patients aged ≥35 years who participated in China’s Basic Public Health Service Program in 2018. Participants were categorized into four groups based on their residence altitude: <500 m, 500-1,499 m, 1,500-2,500 m, and > 2,500 m. The associations between residential altitude and the risks of all-cause and CVD mortality were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. The dose-response relationship was performed by the restricted cubic spline with multivariable adjusted models.ResultsAmong the 67,275 hypertensive patients included in the study (mean age of 63.9 years, with 45.3% male), 8,768 deaths were recorded, of which 5,666 were attributed to CVD. Following multivariate adjustment, when compared to the group residing at altitudes < 500 m, the groups living at altitudes of 500-1,499 m, 1500-2,500 m, and > 2,500 m exhibited significantly risks of all-cause mortality [HR = 1.45 (95% CI: 1.36–1.54), 1.35 (95% CI: 1.28–1.43), and 1.41 (95% CI: 1.28–1.54), respectively] and CVD mortality [HR = 1.47 (95% CI: 1.35–1.58), 1.42 (95% CI: 1.33–1.52), and 1.46 (95% CI: 1.31–1.62), respectively]. The restricted cubic spline curves revealed a nonlinear relationship between residential altitude and all-cause and CVD mortality. The risk of mortality was higher among participants with poorly controlled blood pressure, aged 65 years and above, and living in rural areas.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated a significant association between long-term residential high-altitude exposure and increased risks of all-cause and CVD mortality among hypertension patients. The implications of the findings call for a prioritization of public health resource allocation and early intervention efforts, especially for those living at high altitudes and in low-income areas where hypertension is prevalent.

Gendered labour market outcomes among South African technical and vocational education and training (TVET) completers

South Africa’s post-school education and training (PSET) system plays an important role in addressing historical inequalities and preparing youth for the labour market. Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges have seen rising female enrolment, including in traditionally male-dominated fields like Engineering. This study examines whether women’s increased participation in TVET programmes translates into equal labour market opportunities. Using administrative enrolment data and a tracer study of TVET completers, findings show that female completers face significantly higher unemployment rates than men, unrelated to the over-representation in Business Studies or services programmes. Additionally, women earn 22% less than men, even after accounting for study choices and qualification levels. While challenges remain in ensuring gender parity, the increasing presence of women in male-dominated fields signals progress. Efforts must focus on translating these gains into equitable employment outcomes.

Factors associated with PrEP awareness and use among men who have sex with men who use drugs in the Southern United States

ABSTRACT Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) dramatically reduces HIV transmission risk. PrEP is underutilized among men who have sex with men who use substances (SU-MSM) in the Southern U.S., for whom there is limited research and high PrEP need. Using cross-sectional data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Clinical Trials Network (CTN) 0082 study, we explored factors associated with PrEP awareness and use among 225 SU-MSM in the Southern U.S. Participants were recruited from community-based sexually transmitted infection clinics, syringe services programs and outpatient substance use treatment programs in eight cities across five Southern states with high HIV incidence. Multinomial logistic regressions examined PrEP awareness and use relative to sociodemographic factors, sexual behaviors and substance use. Results demonstrated overall high awareness, yet limited uptake of PrEP. Younger age, higher education, condomless anal sex and more frequent popper use were associated with greater odds of PrEP awareness. Higher education, condomless anal sex and more frequent popper use were associated with greater odds of PrEP use. Results highlight the need for innovative PrEP outreach to Southern SU-MSM that accounts for age, education and substances used.
