Through their consumption behavior, households are responsible for 72% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, they key actors in reaching the 1.5 °C goal under Paris Agreement. However, possible contribution and position climate policies is neither well understood, nor do receive sufficiently high priority current policy strategies. This paper investigates how behavioral change can achieve a substantial reduction emissions European high-income countries. It uses theoretical thinking some...
Background Wearable devices hold great promise, particularly for data generation cutting-edge health research, and their demand has risen substantially in recent years. However, there is a shortage of aggregated insights into how wearables have been used research. Objective In this review, we aim to broadly overview categorize the current research conducted with affordable wearable Methods We performed scoping review understand use affordable, consumer-grade from population perspective using...
Introduction: Dengue is currently a major public health burden in Asia Pacific Region. This study aims to establish an association between dengue incidence, mean temperature and precipitation, further discuss how weather predictors influence the increase intensity magnitude of Singapore during period 2000–2007. Materials methods: Weekly incidence data, daily midyear population data 2000–2007 were retrieved analyzed. We employed time series Poisson regression model including factors such as...
The Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) is located in rural Burkina Faso has existed since 1992. Currently, it about 78,000 inhabitants. It a member of the International Network for Evaluation Populations Their Developing Countries (INDEPTH), global network members who conducts longitudinal health demographic evaluation populations low- middle-income countries. facilities consist one hospital 13 basic centres (locally known as CSPS). HDSS been used sampling frame numerous...
Bangladesh has been identified as one of the most vulnerable countries in world concerning adverse effects climate change (CC). However, little is known about perception CC from community, which important for developing adaptation strategies.The study was a cross-sectional survey respondents two villages--one northern part and other southern Bangladesh. A total 450 households were selected randomly through multistage sampling completed semi-structure questionnaire. This supplemented with 12...
Background: Multiple methods are employed for modeling adaptation when projecting the impact of climate change on heat-related mortality. The sensitivity impacts to each is unknown because they have never been systematically compared. In addition, little known about relative “adaptation uncertainty” (i.e., inclusion/exclusion modeling) using multiple models and emissions scenarios. Objectives: This study had three aims: a) Compare range in projected that arises from different methods; b)...
It is now universally acknowledged that climate change constitutes a major threat to human health. At the same time, some of measures reduce greenhouse gas emissions, so-called mitigation measures, have significant health co-benefits (e.g., walking or cycling more; eating less meat). The goal limiting global warming 1,5° Celsius set by Conference Parties United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris 2015 can only be reached if all stakeholders, including households, take...
Abstract Purpose: To study the willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) for a proposed community‐based health insurance (CBI) scheme in order to provide information about relationship between premium that is required cover costs of and expected enrolment levels. In addition, factors influence WTP were be identified. Methods: Data collected from household survey using two‐stage cluster sampling approach, with each having same probability being selected. Interviews conducted 2414 individuals 705 heads. The...
Objective To identify factors associated with decision to enrol in a community health insurance (CHI) scheme.Methods We conducted population-based case-control study among 15 communities offered 2004 rural Burkina Faso.For inclusion the study, we selected all 154 enrolled (cases) and random sample of 393 non-enrolled (controls) households.We used unconditional logistic regression (applying Huber-White correction account for clustering at level) explore association between enrolment status...
Like many other developing countries, Burkina Faso has been exploring how community resources can be tapped to co-finance health services. Although revenue generation is important for the viability of services, effects on utilization and equity access care must also considered. The authors present a logistic regression model derive price elasticities demand based cross-sectional survey data. While appears inelastic overall (-0.79), subgroup analysis reveals differences in elasticity across...
Abstract Background Most of the about 140 million informal sector workers in urban China do not have health insurance. A 1998 central government policy leaves it to discretion municipal governments offer cities voluntary participation a social insurance for formal workers, so-called 'basic insurance' (BHI). Methods We used contingent valuation method assess maximum willingness pay (WTP) BHI among including unregistered rural-to-urban migrants, Wuhan City, China. selected respondents...
