“…Six themes emerged from the data, suggesting six barriers that limit the use of the law to promote health in English urban planning decision-making, as perceived by the interviewees. The quotes below belong to 16 different stakeholders, with expertise in property development [ 2 ], urban planning [ 5 ], finance [ 4 ], transport [ 1 ], public health [ 3 ] and politics [ 1 ]. Eight interviewees come from the private sector and eight from the public sector, including six at local or regional level and two at the national level.…”

Background Urban environments impact negatively on the risks of non-communicable diseases and perpetuate health inequalities. Against this, law could play a critical role, notably through implementing and securing visions of health and well-being, and evidence-based interventions. Methods Seven teams conducted 123 interviews with 132 actors in urban planning in England. Teams had expertise in urban planning, transport, real estate, public health, public policy, administration, and management. An additional team with expertise in law analysed data from all interviews to explore how the law is perceived and used to promote health in urban planning. Results Six issues were identified as preventing actors from using the law to improve health in urban planning: (i) density and complexity of the law; (ii) weak and outdated regulatory standards; (iii) absence of health from legal requirements in the decision-making process; (iv) inconsistent interpretations by actors with competing interests; (v) lack of strong health evidence-based local planning policies; and (vi) inertia of the law. Conclusions The legal determinants of health listed in the Lancet-O’Neill Commission’s report need to be strengthened at the local level to effectively deploy law in English urban development. The findings call for strong, evidence-based local planning policies and decision-making frameworks, placing health as (one of the) core value(s) of urban planning and showing what types of development benefit health, i.e., prevent NCDs risks and reduce health inequalities on the long term. The legal capacity of local government should be strengthened to empower decision-makers in shaping urban development that promotes health for everyone.

Background Improvement of health literacy constitutes a cornerstone to improving public health. However, the overall health literacy of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (Liangshan Prefecture) in the southwest Sichuan Province of China has kept extremely low for a long time. How to improve health literacy of the Yi nationality residents is key to be urgently solved. Notably, Family Branch System is a distinctive patrilineal bloodline organization of Yi nationality, which plays an important role in the daily life of Yi nationality. Meanwhile, Contracted Family Doctor Services is conducted in Liangshan Prefecture. Therefore, this study proposes an intervention model of health education based on Family Branch System and Contracted Family Doctor Services, which is a Family-based Improvement for Health Literacy among the Yi nationality (FAMILY) in Liangshan, when improving traditional Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions Framework (ICCC) framework. Methods An open cohort stepped wedge cluster randomized trial design is used to implement health literacy education interventions including project preparation, core group building, promotion within family branch and competition between family branches while using Contracted Family Doctor Services as control measure. The study will be conducted among Yi nationality residents in Meigu County and Yanyuan County, with health literacy level of residents as the primary outcome. Finally, mixed-effects model and causal inference method will be used to evaluate intervention effect. Discussion This study highlights family, using the unique Family Branch System and Contracted Family Doctor Services in Liangshan Prefecture to design intervention among improved ICCC framework, and combines the mixed-effects model with complier average causal effects (CACE) to estimate the intervention effect under non-compliance for the first time. Besides, other key technologies to be adopted include construction of electronic questionnaire quality control system, with quality control based on artificial intelligence. This trial contributes to exploring an effective way to improve health literacy of Yi nationality residents in Liangshan Prefecture, which will provide reference for other areas, especially poor areas, to improve residents’ health literacy.

“…Apart from drinking, other health‐relevant consummatory behaviors such as eating or nicotine consumption might be altered in response to stress. Previous reviews showed that stress seems an important trigger for eating behavior (e.g., Hill et al., 2022) and cigarette smoking (e.g., Kassel et al., 2003) and research showed that these three consummatory behaviors (i.e., eating, alcohol and nicotine consumption) frequently co‐occur and result in an unhealthy lifestyle (Hoover et al., 2022; Ortiz et al., 2022). To account for their potential influences on each other through compensation (e.g., eating is used to cope with stress so that drinking is no longer necessary) or potentiation (e.g., individuals consuming alcohol in response to stress might also be more likely to smoke a cigarette) and assess the substance specificity of the SSDS, we also correlated the SSDS with the eating‐specific version SSES and a preliminary version of a nicotine‐specific version (the Salzburg Stress Smoking Scale, SSSS).…”

Stress frequently influences a person's propensity to drink alcohol. Inter‐individual differences in such stress‐related drinking can be assessed through psychometric scales; however, available questionnaires conflate stress‐ with emotion‐related reasons to drink and ignore evidence of decreased alcohol consumption in response to stress. Therefore, we developed a genuine stress–drinking scale (Salzburg Stress Drinking Scale; SSDS), adapted from the Salzburg Stress Eating Scale, and assessed its psychometric properties. In study 1 (n = 639), the SSDS was found to have a one‐factor structure, excellent internal consistency, and acceptable test‐retest reliability. SSDS scores were significantly correlated with other measures assessing emotional drinking, but uncorrelated with general alcohol pathology and other health‐relevant consummatory behaviors such as stress‐related eating or nicotine consumption. In addition, no significant sex differences arose. In study 2 (n = 42) patients with an alcohol use disorder or addiction scored significantly higher on the SSDS compared to healthy controls. In an Ecological Momentary Assessment study 3 (n = 67), the SSDS showed partial ecological validity through significant relationships with daily alcohol consumption, but not daily stress–drinking relationships. In sum, the SSDS represents a psychometrically sound tool for the measurement of stress‐related drinking and complements a battery of stress‐related changes in health‐relevant behaviors.
