“…Li and Zhang ( 16 ) believed that the public health expenditure and medical service actions could control the disease and then affect the health level of residents. There were also many studies showing that air pollution ( 17 ) and regional culture ( 18 ) impact the behavior and health of residents. Additionally, COVID-19 is more likely to occur in prosperous cities closer to the epicenter, located on higher altitudes, with high concentrations of air pollutants except NO 2 and O 3 , under conditions of extreme weather and high minimum relative humidity ( 19 ).…”

The Healthy China Strategy puts realistic demands for residents' health levels, but the reality is that various factors can affect health. In order to clarify which factors have a great impact on residents' health, based on China's provincial panel data from 2011 to 2018, this paper selects 17 characteristic variables from the three levels of economy, environment, and society and uses the XG boost algorithm and Random forest algorithm based on recursive feature elimination to determine the influencing variables. The results show that at the economic level, the number of industrial enterprises above designated size, industrial added value, population density, and per capita GDP have a greater impact on the health of residents. At the environmental level, coal consumption, energy consumption, total wastewater discharge, and solid waste discharge have a greater impact on the health level of residents. Therefore, the Chinese government should formulate targeted measures at both economic and environmental levels, which is of great significance to realizing the Healthy China strategy.

“…Rural and remote research involves high levels of community engagement, rural-based immersion opportunities and positive learning experiences that result in 'socially accountable' research activities. 4 A tailored, community-engaged approach also signi cantly impacts future rural practice intent 5,6 , which is a critical government agenda that aims to sustain a rural workforce that is committed to work in underserved rural communities. For anyone intending to practice in a rural or remote location, the importance of developing research and analytical skills is more signi cant, given the complex nature of rural environments.…”

Moreover, preparing medical students for a career in evidencebased medicine requires su cient research training and experiences to develop both their ability to appraise clinical evidence and their analytical skills required in medical practice.…”

Background: Most rural populations experience significant health disadvantages. Community-engaged research can facilitate the translation of scientific knowledge to improving their health status. Connecting scholars with community based frontline practices address local health and medical needs helps establish a robust pipeline for research that can inform community priorities. This study aims to provide an understanding of the health status of the local rural communities through community-engaged Rural Health Projects (RHPs) conducted as part of a Doctor of Medicine program. The RHPs identify issues of health concern, to then develop future localised solutions. Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of RHPs conducted between 2011 and 2021 in rural and remote Australian communities. Descriptive analyses were used to present RHP locations by their geographical classification and disease/research categorisation using the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems – 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes and the Human Research Classification System (HRCS) categories. Results: There were a total of 2806 eligible RHPs conducted between 2011 and 2021, predominantly in Queensland (n=2728, 97·2%). These were mostly conducted in small rural towns (under 5,000 population, n=1044, 37·2%) or other rural towns up to 15,000 population (n=842, 30·0%). Projects mostly addressed individual care needs (n=1233, 43·9%) according to HRCS categories, or were related to factors influencing health status and contact with health services (n=1012, 36·1%) according to ICD-10 classification. Conclusions: Conducting community focused RHPs demonstrates a valuable approach to foster improved rural health outcomes by engaging medical students in research projects while simultaneously enhancing their research skills.

“…Women experience inequity in academia and in obtaining grant funding and these challenges are intensified in nursing and midwifery where research domains are in just evolving [ 7 , 11 ]. RCB should benefit education, clinical practice and the wider society and result in research that values engagement and impact with local and global issues [ 21 , 22 ]. In an evaluation of a graduate midwifery research intern program Hauck et al [ 7 ] recognised the relevance of RCB not just for clinical practice but for health care in general, through for example, contributions to policy development.…”

Background Few examples exist of research capacity building (RCB) in midwifery. As in other jurisdictions, at the turn of this century midwives in the Netherlands lagged in research-based practice. Dutch professional and academic organisations recognised the need to proactively undertake RCB. This paper describes how a large national research project, the DELIVER study, contributed to RCB in Dutch midwifery. Methods Applying Cooke’s framework for RCB, we analysed the impact of the DELIVER study on RCB in midwifery with a document analysis comprising the following documents: annual reports on research output, websites of national organizations that might have implemented research findings, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)), midwifery guidelines concerning DELIVER research topics, publicly available career information of the PhD students and a google search using the main research topic and name of the researcher to look for articles in public papers. Results The study provided an extensive database with nationally representative data on the quality and provision of midwifery-led care in the Netherlands. The DELIVER study resulted in 10 completed PhD projects and over 60 publications. Through close collaboration the study had direct impact on education of the next generation of primary, midwifery care practices and governmental and professional bodies. Discussion The DELIVER study was intended to boost the research profile of primary care midwifery. This reflection on the research capacity building components of the study shows that the study also impacted on education, policy, and the midwifery profession. As such the study shows that this investment in RCB has had a profound positive impact on primary care midwifery in the Netherlands.
