BACKGROUND Health and health behaviours in midlife are important determinants of healthy ageing. There is evidence of unmet needs for health promoting information for women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and women with low literacy. OBJECTIVE The aims were to develop accessible short, animated videos promoting positive health behaviours for women in midlife and evaluate their accessibility, acceptability, understanding, and usability. METHODS In collaboration with a video production company, a multidisciplinary team of academics and health professionals developed two short, animated videos on self-management of menopause health and two promoting joint health. Their accessibility, acceptability, understanding, and usability to women were evaluated in an anonymous online survey. RESULTS In all 490 women viewed the videos and responded to the survey. Of these 353 completed all questions (72%). Almost all agreed that the information in the videos was ‘very easy to understand’. The proportions reporting that all or some of the information in the video was new to them varied between videos from 36% to 66%; the reported likelihood of using the practical tips offered in the videos varied from 70% to 89%; and between 61% and 78% of respondents stated that they would recommend the videos to others. CONCLUSIONS Most women found the videos easy to understand, learned something new from watching them, planned to use the practical tips they offered and were likely to recommend them to other women. This suggests that short, animated videos about health self-management strategies in midlife to improve the chance of healthy ageing are perceived as accessible, acceptable, easy to understand, and useful by women.

Issue AddressedE‐scooters are sought after for their cost‐effectiveness, sustainability, and efficiency in urban transportation. However, this popularity has been accompanied by a surge in injuries, prompting a deeper investigation into the factors influencing risk perceptions among e‐scooter users.MethodsUsing a qualitative approach, we conducted 19 interviews with those who attended an emergency department as a result of e‐scooter injury. We aimed to understand the psychosocial effects of these incidents and employed thematic analysis to discern recurrent patterns in participants' experiences, focusing on alterations in daily life, community response, perception shifts, and avenues to enhance safety awareness.ResultsThe findings underscored significant disruptions to daily life due to injuries, demonstrating enduring impacts on lifestyle and wellbeing. Participants exhibited a perceptual shift, transitioning from perceiving e‐scooters as enjoyable to viewing them as dangerous. Recommendations for enhancing safety awareness included accessible and clear safety education, pre‐ride briefings, real‐time safety guidance, temporal rental restrictions, and mandatory breathalysers before e‐scooter use.ConclusionsThe study underscores the importance of considering not only the individual experiences and perceptions of e‐scooter injuries but also the broader social context, including the night‐time economy. Leveraging peer narratives and community engagement is vital to reshape risk perceptions and promote harm reduction messages.So What?A comprehensive approach through proactive interventions and robust educational strategies is essential to foster responsible e‐scooter usage and prioritise public safety.
