Mental health professionals' perceptions on health promotion needs among people with severe mental health disorders through the co-production approach.

People who suffer from severe mental health disorders are also at high risk of developing other serious health problems. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors combined with low self-care and low health literacy among people with severe mental health disorders highlight the need to design health promotion interventions in this population group. A qualitative study was carried out with the aim of investigating the perceptions among mental health professionals on the health promotion needs of people with severe mental health disorders through the co-production approach.

Cross-ancestral GWAS identifies 29 novel variants across Head and Neck Cancer subsites.

In this multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) and fine mapping study of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) subsites, we analysed 19,073 cases and 38,857 controls and identified 29 independent novel loci. We provide robust evidence that a 3' UTR variant in (rs78378222, T>G) confers a 40% reduction in odds of developing overall HNSCC. We further examine the gene-environment relationship of and variants demonstrating their effects act through both smoking and alcohol use.
