AI Article Synopsis
- National policies and health care systems significantly influence community support for individuals with severe mental health issues.
- A comparison of experiences from Denmark, England, and the Netherlands highlights the importance of themes like social inclusion policies, defined responsibilities and services, adequate funding, and integrated care.
- Effective implementation of these themes can help transform ideological support into practical, solid policies that enhance social inclusion for those affected.
Article Abstract
Background: The development of adequate community support of persons with severe mental health problems is an ongoing effort. National policies and national health and social care systems play an important role in the effectiveness of these efforts.
Aims: To get a better understanding of the ways in which national policies and (mental) health care systems can enhance the development of community support and social inclusion for people with severe mental illness.
Method: A comparison was made between the experiences of 75 key persons on regional community support development regarding national policies and systems in Denmark, England and the Netherlands respectively.
Results: Four themes stood out as being particularly instrumental in the development of community support: - implementation of a national policy on social inclusion, - development of a national framework of responsibilities, entitlements and services, - solid funding and social inclusion incentivizing reimbursement systems, - integrated care.
Conclusion: National governments do have opportunities to take or retake the lead to ensure that community support and social inclusion of persons with severe mental illness health problems are not just ideological slogans but solid policy.

Exploring cooking fuel choices among Ghanaian women of reproductive age: A socio-economic analysis from a statistical mechanics perspective.
PLoS One

Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani, Ghana.
Access to clean and efficient cooking fuel is crucial for promoting good health, safeguarding the environment, and driving economic growth. Despite efforts to promote the adoption of cleaner alternatives, traditional solid fuels such as charcoal and firewood remain prevalent in Ghana. In this study, we utilized a statistical mechanical model as a framework to explore the statistical relationship between socio-economic factors such as educational attainment, wealth status, place of residence, and cooking fuel choices.

Background The study aimed to understand the acceptability, satisfaction, uptake, utility and feasibility of a quality improvement (QI) intervention to improve care for coronary heart disease (CHD) patients in Australian primary care practices and identify barriers and enablers, including the impact of COVID-19. Methods Within the QUality improvement for Effectiveness of care for people Living with heart disease (QUEL) study, 26 Australian primary care practices, supported by five Primary Health Networks (PHN) participated in a 1-year QI intervention (November 2019 - November 2020). Data were collected from practices and PHNs staff via surveys and semi-structured interviews.

Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology & Biophysics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, United States of America.
Eccentric contraction- (ECC) induced force loss is a hallmark of murine dystrophin-deficient (mdx) skeletal muscle that is used to assess efficacy of potential therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. While virtually all key proteins involved in muscle contraction have been implicated in ECC force loss, a unifying mechanism that orchestrates force loss across such diverse molecular targets has not been identified. We showed that correcting defective hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling in mdx muscle prevented ECC force loss.

Background: Cervical cancer disparities persist among minoritized women due to infrequent screening and poor follow-up. Structural and psychosocial barriers to following up with colposcopy are problematic for minoritized women. Evidence-based interventions using patient navigation and tailored telephone counseling, including the Tailored Communication for Cervical Cancer Risk (TC3), have modestly improved colposcopy attendance.

Behavioural and Implementation Science Group, School of Health Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom.
Background: If the most evidence-based and effective smoking cessation apps are not selected by smokers wanting to quit, their potential to support cessation is limited.
Objective: This study sought to determine the attributes that influence smoking cessation app uptake and understand their relative importance to support future efforts to present evidence-based apps more effectively to maximize uptake.
Methods: Adult smokers from the United Kingdom were invited to participate in a discrete choice experiment.
