Undertaking graphic facilitation to enable participation in health promotion interventions in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Denmark.

This study reports on a health promotion intervention (HPI), where graphic facilitation (GF) was used as an innovative method to enable participation in a co-design process in a multi-ethnic and disadvantaged neighbourhood in Denmark. The aim was to enable middle-aged and older residents to participate in the research process of planning and evaluating the HPI, as well as in the activities it constituted. GF was used to document statements and inputs from residents through visual meeting minutes and resident experiences with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown were drawn by a graphic facilitator.

Understanding the mechanisms generating outcomes in a Danish peer support intervention for socially vulnerable people with type 2-diabetes: a realist evaluation.

Background: Despite an increasing use and positive effects of peer support interventions, little is known about how the outcomes are produced. Thus, it is essential not only to measure outcomes, but also to identify the mechanisms by which they are generated. Using a realist evaluation approach, we aimed to identify the mechanisms generating outcomes in a Danish peer support intervention for socially vulnerable people with type 2-diabetes (peers).

Infertility-related stress and the risk of antidepressants prescription in women: a 10-year register study.

Study Question: Is the first-time redeemed prescription of antidepressants predicted by the level of infertility-related stress in women seeking ART treatment?

Summary Answer: Infertility-related stress in the personal and marital domains and general physical stress reactions were significant predictors of a first redeemed prescription of antidepressants after ART treatment in this 10-year follow-up cohort study.

What Is Known Already: The literature has found inconsistent findings regarding the association between infertility-related stress and later psychological adjustment in fertility patients. The association between infertility-related stress and later prescription of antidepressants had never been explored in long-term cohort studies.

Recurrent pregnancy loss: couples' perspectives on their need for treatment, support and follow up.

Study Question: What do couples referred to or attending a recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) clinic believe they need in terms of treatment, support and follow up?

Summary Answer: Men and women wish for more information, earlier access to treatment, support and follow up that is sensitive to their history of pregnancy loss (PL), includes both members of the couple, and acknowledges the psychological impact of RPL.

What Is Known Already: Previous research has highlighted women's dissatisfaction with medical care provided post-PL and their desire for medical professionals to have increased awareness about PL and recognition of the psychological impact of PL. Less is known about the needs of the male partner, the needs of those experiencing RPL and whether the needs differ during different reproductive stages.
