Addressing current challenges in population health intervention research for health promotion.

This article explores the role of population health intervention research (PHIR) in enhancing health promotion in France, stressing the importance of a more in-depth understanding and thorough analysis of healthcare interventions. Established in 2022, the So-RISP network aims to structure the PHIR field, consolidating expertise from renowned teams specializing in PHIR, primary cancer prevention, and addiction. In January 2023, So-RISP members convened a national workshop.

Conditions for adherence to videoconference-based programs promoting adapted physical activity in cancer patients: a realist evaluation.

Background: Although moderate physical activity (PA) during cancer treatment has been associated with improved quality of life, reduced side effects, and even lower mortality, many barriers to successful implementation remain. Digital technology has been perceived as an effective lever for overcoming access and motivational issues but few studies have been performed to confirm this assumption. The "VISIO-AJUST" study explored the factors affecting the conditions of adherence to video-conference-based PA programs in patients undergoing cancer treatment.

Evaluation of a knowledge translation strategy to improve policymaking and practices in health promotion and disease prevention setting in French regions: TC-REG, a realist study.

Objective: This paper presents the results of a realist evaluation of a knowledge translation (KT) intervention implemented in the field of health promotion and disease prevention at the local level in France.

Design: Realist evaluation study.

Setting: The target population comprised decision-makers and field professionals working in prevention and public health services operating in regions of France (ie, ARS (Agence Régionale de Santé: regional health agency), IREPS (Instance Régionale d'Education et de Promotion de la Santé pour tous: regional organisation for health promotion and education) and their partners).

Exploring the Determinants of Polypharmacy Prescribing and Dispensing Behaviours in Primary Care for the Elderly-Protocol for a Qualitative Study.

Polypharmacy is becoming increasingly common, especially among the elderly. It often has a negative connotation, but is sometimes necessary or even desirable, and needed to categorize polypharmacy as appropriate or inappropriate. The challenge is in ensuring that this is considered appropriate when necessary.

Delivering adapted physical activity by videoconference to patients with fatigue under immune checkpoint inhibitors: Lessons learned from the PACTIMe-FEAS feasibility study.

Introduction: Fatigue is one of the most frequent symptoms in anti-cancer immune therapy. Physical activity has been proven effective in reducing fatigue, but unmet needs remain regarding the provision and access to adapted programmes, which efficiently addresses the main barriers to PA.

Methods: The PACTIMe-FEAS study primarily aimed at primarily to evaluate the feasibility and the acceptability of a videoconference-based 6-month programme promoting physical activity, and secondarily to assess its potential post-immediate and short-term effectiveness in reducing fatigue in cancer patients under immune therapy.

Development of a knowledge translation taxonomy in the field of health prevention: a participative study between researchers, decision-makers and field professionals.

Objectives: The current literature lacks a detailed and standardised description of public health knowledge translation (KT) activities designed to be applied at local levels of health systems. As part of an ongoing research project called the Transfert de connaissances en regions (TC-REG project), we aim to develop a local KT taxonomy in the field of health prevention by means of a participative study between researchers, decision-makers and field professionals. This KT taxonomy provides a comparative description of existing local health prevention KT strategies.

Using theory of change to develop an intervention theory for designing and evaluating behavior change SDApps for healthy eating and physical exercise: the OCAPREV theory.

Background: Connected health devices and applications (referred to hereafter as "SDApps" - Smart devices and applications) are being portrayed as a new way for prevention, with the promise of accessibility, effectiveness and personalization. Many effectiveness evaluations (experimental designs) with strong internal validity exist. While effectiveness does appear to vary, the mechanisms used by these devices have not yet been thoroughly investigated.

["I love my heart": a regional program to reduce cardiovascular risk and health inequalities].

"Je t'aime mon coeur" ("I love you, my heart") is a regional program aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk based on a strategy consistent with the Ottawa Charter. One of the objectives of the program is to reduce health inequalities between the general population and disadvantaged groups with limited access to preventive services. Among disadvantaged groups, access to the program appears to be related to the activities designed specifically for them and, in particular, to the support provided by professionals dedicated to the task.
