Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of a consumer-informed, non-face-to-face intensive tobacco treatment, highlighting the potential of remotely delivered technology-based contingency management (CM) to reduce the health impact of tobacco smoking in high-priority populations. The intervention shows scale-up potential. Future studies should extend treatment into the postpartum period, utilizing new technologies to enhance CM delivery and improve counseling provision and partner support.

Summary: Pregnant women must maintain healthy habits to protect their own health and their child's. This study found that younger and less educated pregnant women had poorer eating habits and higher smoking rates. Lower educated pregnant women were also less active. Non-smoking pregnant women had better eating habits than smokers. Lower educated pregnant women accumulated more unhealthy habits during pregnancy.

Summary: This study reviewed the medical health records of pregnant women entering prison in New South Wales, Australia, and found a high prevalence of substance use among incarcerated pregnant women, with many women being unaware of their pregnancy prior to incarceration. The findings underscore the importance of timely and appropriate drug and alcohol assessment and treatment to minimize harm for both the mother and fetus, as well as the urgent need for enhanced access to contraception for these women.

Summary: This study analyzed data from a national sample of adolescents to examine differences in engagement with activities that may be incompatible with alcohol use among adolescents who endorsed alcohol use and those who did not. The findings suggest that adolescents who do not endorse alcohol use are more engaged in activities that may be incompatible with alcohol use, while adolescents who endorse alcohol use are more engaged in activities that may facilitate alcohol use.

Summary: This study examined the trends in chewing tobacco use among pregnant women in India and identified factors associated with this behavior. The prevalence of chewing tobacco decreased from 4.0% to 2.3% between 2015 and 2021, but the highest prevalence remained in northeastern India. Factors such as belonging to the northeastern region, no education, poorest wealth index, and belonging to a scheduled tribe were significantly associated with chewing tobacco use among pregnant women.

Summary: The use and dependence on social media and technological devices have been found to be associated with body image dissatisfaction and changes in dietary behavior in pregnant women. Social media posting and dependence on technological devices are also related to negative body image scores, postnatal image concerns, and competitiveness regarding the pregnant body. This highlights the importance of considering the potential detrimental effects of social media during pregnancy.

Summary: Exposure of pregnant women to endocrine disruptor compounds, such as parabens and bisphenol A, is a concern for fetal development. This study examined the occurrence of these compounds and their degradation products in drinking water samples from a French cohort study. The results showed that parabens, bisphenols, and their degradation products were detected in drinking water, with the highest detection frequencies for monochlorinated degradation products. This analytical approach provides insights into the human chemical exposome.

Summary: The use of ionising radiation in medical procedures has greatly benefited paediatric patients, but the long-term health effects need to be evaluated. The HARMONIC project aims to understand the increased risk of cancer and non-cancer effects after exposure to radiation in children with cancer and cardiac defects. It investigates potential endocrine dysfunction, cardiovascular and neurovascular damage, health-related quality of life, and risks of second primary cancers. The project also develops software tools for dose reconstruction and builds a biobank to identify biomarkers of radiation-induced adverse health effects.
