During a health crisis, prosocial sharing of health-related information (HRI) on social media can help deliver early warnings about new diseases, raise social awareness, exchange support, and spread health policies. Current literature has mainly focused on the factors of general sharing of HRI under normal conditions but neglected those motivations under the health crisis context. This study aims to investigate factors that influence prosocial sharing of HRI on social media during a health crisis. To obtain the objective, this study proposes a dual exchanging-protecting model derived from the fear appeal model and social exchange theory. A partial least squares analysis, carried out on surveyed data of 326 participants, suggested that online users performed two steps of threat appraisal and coping appraisal when they share HRI on social media. Specifically, both health and information risks were found to have impacts on prosocial sharing via motivational factors. Additionally, the motivations of prosocial sharing include both protecting factors (i.e., sharing efficacy, response efficacy) and an exchanging factor (i.e., reciprocity expectation). Our findings offer several theoretical implications and practical contributions for health communicators.

Previous studies suggest that musicians may be at higher risk for a set of medical problems; however, this literature has been limited by relatively small sample sizes, self-reports, and lack of controls. To address such limitations, we examined trends in the medical care of musicians in an Electronic Health Record database. On the basis of a collection of keywords and regular expressions in the patients' clinical notes, we identified 9803 "musicians" that we matched for sex, median age (across the medical record), ethnicity, race, the length of record, and the number of visits with 49,015 controls. We fitted 1263 logistic regression models to determine whether the phenotype was correlated with musicianship. Two hundred fifty-seven phenotypes were more prevalent in musicians than controls after Bonferroni adjustment (P < 7.6 x 10(-6)), including diseases of the larynx and vocal cords (OR = 2.32 (95% CI: 2.25-2.40)), and hearing loss (OR = 1.36 (95% CI: 1.32-1.39)). Fifteen phenotypes were significantly more prevalent in controls than musicians, including coronary atherosclerosis (OR = 0.91 (95% CI: 0.89-0.94)). Although being a musician was related to many occupational health problems, we identified protective effects of musicianship in which certain disorders were less common in musicians than in controls, indicating that active musical engagement could have health benefits analogous to athletic engagement.

A food revolution is emerging in America out of growing concerns about obesity and other diet-related health problems. The revolution is most visible today in the local food movement, which is a continuation of the organic food movement, which in turn has its roots in the natural food movement of the 1960s. The revolution is spreading through and beyond mainstream food markets, taking a variety of forms and structures in the process of creating a new sustainable food network of local food systems.

This descriptive study was conducted in order to examine Gaziantep University students' level of knowledge on sexuality and reproductive health (SRH). The subjects participated to this work were 1,720 undergraduate students representing the freshman year to senior year of the colleges other than medical school of Gaziantep University in the academic year of 2009-2010. Data were assessed with SPSS 15.0 statistical software. A total of 36.7 % of the students were studying in the engineering programs, 68 % were freshmen, 41.1 % were between the ages of 20-21 and 62.2 % were male; 85.1 % were single and 75.2 % were living in the city. A total of 45.5 % of the students wanted SRH education in primary school and 83.3 % wanted it to be part of the school curriculum. A total of 38.2 % wanted to get SRH education from health personnel. A total of 54.5 % of the students discussed SRH issues with their friends; 54.5 % perceived premarital sex negatively. A total of 80.2 % wanted an SRH consultancy unit at the university but 67.8 % thought SRH education programs didn't cover the subjects that were required. It was established that 8 % received poor, 56.2 % received medium and 35.9 % received good level SRH knowledge scores. The SRH scores of 4th grade students were found to be more than the first graders. As they get older, students SRH scores increase. Female students' SRH scores were more than male students (p < 0.05). In light of these results, it can be said that students need education programs on sexual and reproductive health and consultancy units at universities.

Few studies have compared urban and rural adolescents’ mental health problems, especially in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mental health problems and coping styles of adolescents in urban and rural areas in China. A total of 927 urban and rural high school students in Shandong Province of China were recruited for the study. The results of the study are as follows: (a) students in rural lowsocioeconomic status (SES) areas, especially females, had more mental health problems than did those in rural high-SES and urban areas; (b) rural low-SES students were more likely to cope by venting and fantasizing than did the other two groups; (c) regardless of residence and SES, mental health problems were inversely related to the use of problem solving as a coping strategy, but positively related to fantasizing; and (d) urban-rural differences in mental health problems were not entirely accounted for by group differences in coping strategies.

Background Mental health problems (MHP) in children and adolescents (CA) are common. This longitudinal study analyzed the prevalence, course, and persistence of MHP over 10?years from childhood into adolescence based on a sample from the Future Family project ( N =?230). Methods At the pre-assessment point the children were on average 5 ( SE =?1) and the mothers 35 ( SE =?5) years old. Descriptive methods, Chi<sup>2</sup>-tests, binary logistic regression, and different analytical approaches (number chains, transition probability) were used. Results Approximately 24% of the CA suffered from borderline clinical or clinically relevant MHP. The largest proportion of the sample was stable healthy (70%), whereas 15% of the CA showed chronic mentally ill , 8% transient, 4% negative and 4% positive courses. The mental health of the mother proved to be a decisive predictor for chronic mentally ill courses. Short-term persistence rates ranged between 60 and 70% from one assessment point to the next one. On the other hand, long-term persistence rates (from childhood into adolescence) were lower (51–59%). Conclusion One in seven children in this sample suffered from chronic MHP, while only one third of the CA in Germany with clinically relevant MHP take advantage of psychological or psychiatric care. Prevention programs should be considered as an effective and economic approach to reduce childhood suffering in Germany.

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate mental health problems and family coping strategies among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Methods: The sample consisted of 449 subjects. The age ranged from 21 to 60 years with mean age 41.5 years. Participants completed Hopkins Symptoms Checklist Scale and Family-Oriented Coping Scale support scale. Results: The study showed than 52.6% had anxiety, and 50.6% had depression. Females scored more anxiety and depression than males. Mental health symptoms were more in family with family monthly income $300 and less, and in families with 8 and more children. The results showed that mean total family coping strategy was 107.28. Males were significantly reported more coping strategies, including acquiring social support, reframing, seeking spiritual support, and mobilizing family to acquire and accept help. Total HSCL score was negatively correlated with total family coping strategies, acquiring social support, reframing, seeking spiritual support, and positive appraisal. Conclusion: The study reported high rates of anxiety and depression which had negative impact on Palestinian families coping strategies. Psychologists, educators, social workers and community workers should support families to identify shortcomings in their coping and to help develop their latent resources.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mental health status of adolescents. In this paper, the MHT test paper was used to evaluate the mental health status of 226 students in different places. MHT refers to the mental health test for primary and middle school students. Results: 1) 34 students had serious psychological tendency, which was mainly manifested in learning anxiety, anxiety about people, self-accusation tendency and impulse tendency; 2) There are gender differences in mental health problems among school students, with more girls than boys. There are also regional differences, with more students in Guangdong than in other regions. There are also differences in learning stages, and there are more senior high school students than junior middle school students. Conclusion: 1) Students in school have different degrees of mental health problems. 2) These mental health problems are different due to three different factors.
