When communicating about health behaviour with students, insight is needed in perceptions students have about their (un)healthy behaviour. We aimed to investigate associations between problem perception and perceived health, academic functioning in students using tobacco, alcohol or drugs. Students who were enrolled fulltime in Medicine, Economics, Occupational Therapy, History, Psychology or Information Studies in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (n = 8258), were invited for an internet-based questionnaire about perceived health, social support, study delay, and problem perception regarding tobacco, alcohol and drug use in October 2005 (response: 44%). Students using tobacco, alcohol and drugs with and without problem perception and non-users were compared (logistic regression). Problem perception in students using tobacco, alcohol or drugs was associated with worse health outcomes.

Clinical mastitis, a prevalent production disease in the dairy industry, causes significant pain and swelling in dairy cows' udders. While previous research highlights a symbiotic relationship between humans and animals, particularly in terms of health, this study investigates how animal health, specifically clinical mastitis, influences farmers' well-being. Acknowledging farmers' pivotal role in mitigating animal health problems, we examined the human-animal relationship by exploring how dairy cow health relates to the psychological well-being of dairy farmers.

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with well-being outcomes across studies; however, there is wide variation in its measurement, particularly in adolescence. One key difference in measures of SES concerns whether participants relay objective information-for example, years of education, household income-or subjective perceptions of socioeconomic status, either with or without reference to others or society. Although parents are often considered the best source of SES information-especially objective SES-within families, interviewing parents within the context of adolescent research is costly, time-consuming, and not always feasible.

Introduction: Difficulties with emotion regulation are associated with the development and maintenance of psychiatric symptoms. Focusing on emotion regulation can be beneficial when treating symptoms and behavioral problems. Here we describe a seven-session transdiagnostic approach to regulating emotions, delivered jointly to adolescents and parents in a child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient setting, and we explore the perceptions and acceptability of the methodological aspects of the intervention.
