occupational health, occupational health services, rural health, rural health services, social determinants of health A recent article in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 1 describes the Fatalities in Oil and Gas Extraction (FOG) database-an industryspecific database created to help researchers understand patterns of deaths among US oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers. Among other strengths, the database includes detailed geographic data on fatal incidents-a feature lacking in other systems that track workplace fatalities. It is clear that the majority of OGE worker fatalities occurred in rural micropolitan and noncore counties (Figure 1). This finding may not be surprising to people in the industry. However, it does raise questions about relationships between work, health, and rurality that are rarely explored explicitly or systematically.The uneven allocation of social and structural determinants of health (SDOH) across geographic space accounts for disparities in health outcomes among people living in urban and rural areas. 3 Employment is an SDOH that can impact health through working conditions, access to income, health insurance, a sense of meaning, and quality housing.

Drowning is a critical public health concern, ranking third among unintentional injury-related global deaths. Vulnerable groups, notably children and non-swimmers, are disproportionately affected, with low- and middle-income countries bearing the highest brunt. Life jackets are pivotal in preventing drowning, offering buoyancy and safety during water activities. This review evaluates life jackets’ effectiveness, examining usage, efficacy, influencing factors and technological advances. The findings show that life jackets significantly reduce drowning risks. However, the user behaviour, environmental factors and regulations influence their effectiveness. Targeted interventions and educational programmes are essential, addressing demographic disparities and promoting affordability, accessibility and cultural acceptance. The review confirms life jacket’s effectiveness in drowning prevention. However, their impact depends on various factors, necessitating tailored interventions and education programmes.
