AI Article Synopsis
- Social environment factors, like community and family influence, are believed to affect how active young people are.
- Using multilevel analytic approaches helps researchers explore how these social factors interact with individual characteristics in different settings.
- This method looks at physical activity influences at various levels, including individual, family, and neighborhood, providing a comprehensive view.
Article Abstract
Social environment factors are hypothesized to interact with individual-level factors to influence youth physical activity. Multilevel analytic approaches are ideal for examining the influence of the social environment on youth physical activity as they allow examination of research questions across multiple contexts and levels ( e.g., individual, family, and neighborhood levels).

Child Health Evaluative Sciences, Research Institute, The Hospital for Sick Children, 686 Bay Street, Room 06.9715, Toronto, ON, M5G 0A4, Canada.
Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic pediatric illness, whereby youth experience physical, emotional and psychosocial challenges that result in reduced health related quality of life (HRQL). Peer mentoring has been shown to improve disease self-management in adults with chronic conditions, with mixed results in younger populations. Building on our pilot work - which supported the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the iPeer2Peer program - the objective of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness of the program in youth with JIA through a waitlist randomized controlled trial.

Conflict-affected regions face severe reproductive health challenges that disproportionately impact adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and children, who are especially vulnerable due to the breakdown of healthcare systems and limited access to essential services. AGYW are at heightened risk due to restricted access to family planning, prenatal care, and emergency obstetric services, while children face malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and developmental delays. These challenges have profound long-term consequences for both their physical and psychological well-being.
