“…Participants cut across individuals in the community who were dependent on psychoactive substances and indicated a willingness to quit, oil workers, night club patrons, families, and children and adolescents. Consequently, settings spanned across workplace [75], general population [16,45,46,49,52,[56][57][58][59]66,81,82], health treatment facilities [44,50,51,53,54,60,65,[67][68][69][70][71]76,77,79,80], night clubs [13,64], and schools [55,61,63,[72][73][74]78].…”

“…Studies which assessed cigarette smoking across various populations dominated our review with 25 articles [16,45,46,[49][50][51][52]54,55,[57][58][59]61,63,65,[68][69][70][71]74,75,78,79,81,82], followed by alcohol use in eight articles [13,44,56,64,72,73,76,80]. One study assessed only methamphetamine [62], one assessed any psychoactive substance use [66], and one study assessed both cigarette smoking and alcohol [77].…”

“…A range of 51% to 99.3% favorable reactions to the program were observed among those who provided data on acceptability [46,63]. Acceptability was not clearly stated or assessed in 22 identified studies but findings were generally suggestive of a successful program and recommended for future use [13,44,[50][51][52]54,[56][57][58][59]62,64,65,67,[71][72][73]75,76,78,80,82]. Most patients rated the intervention sessions as helpful or very helpful and about half of the patients reported reduction in cigarette smoking and alcohol use [66,77,80].…”

The increasing prevalence and magnitude of harmful effects of substance use disorders (SUDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) make it imperative to embrace interventions which are acceptable, feasible, and effective in reducing this burden. Globally, the use of telehealth interventions is increasingly being explored as possible effective approaches in the management of SUDs. Using a scoping review of literature, this article summarizes and evaluates evidence for the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of telehealth interventions for SUDs in LMICs. Searches were conducted in five bibliographic databases: PubMed, Psych INFO, Web of Science, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Professionals and the Cochrane database of systematic review. Studies from LMICs which described a telehealth modality, identified at least one psychoactive substance use among participants, and methods that either compared outcomes using pre- and post-intervention data, treatment versus comparison groups, post-intervention data, behavioral or health outcome, and outcome of either acceptability, feasibility, and/or effectiveness were included. Data is presented in a narrative summary using charts, graphs, and tables. The search produced 39 articles across 14 countries which fulfilled our eligibility criteria over a period of 10 years (2010 to 2020). Research on this topic increased remarkably in the latter five years with the highest number of studies in 2019. The identified studies were heterogeneous in their methods and various telecommunication modalities were used to evaluate substance use disorder, with cigarette smoking as the most assessed. Most studies used quantitative methods. The highest number of included studies were from China and Brazil, and only two studies from Africa assessed telehealth interventions for SUDs. There has been an increasingly significant body of literature which evaluates telehealth interventions for SUDs in LMICs. Overall, telehealth interventions showed promising acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness for SUDs. This article identifies gaps and strengths and suggests directions for future research.

Background and Objectives: This study aims to assess the health status and factors influencing healthy choices among children and young people in Romania, as well as the efficacy of related health education programs. Through understanding these dynamics, the study seeks to provide insights that can shape targeted interventions, policies, and educational strategies to improve this demographic’s overall health and well-being. Materials and Methods: For this study, we performed a literature review of original published papers on the health status, healthy habits, health education, predisposition to making healthy choices in the future, and accessibility to the paediatric health system of Romanian children and young people, as well as the effects of different types of educational interventions on this demographic in Romania. Results: The prevalence of dental caries is high in Romania. In terms of eating habits and nutritional status, a worrying proportion of children are overweight or obese, which can lead to a variety of future physical and psychological problems. In terms of physical activity, few adolescents demonstrate regular fitness practices. Romania presents an increase in alcohol and tobacco consumption among adolescents. The mental health of students has become a pressing public health concern, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of social networks is linked to mental health issues among young people. Romania still has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases and faces a high incidence of cervical cancer, with a mortality rate three times higher than the EU average. High rates of teenage pregnancies are linked to limited information about sexuality and a lack of access to family planning at a young age. There are large discrepancies in the accessibility of medical services between urban and rural areas. Conclusions: Romania faces significant obstacles to providing high-quality healthcare to children and young people. Improving nutrition, immunisation rates, and access to medical services represent essential areas for enhancing the health of children and young people in Romania.
