Summary: The existing measurement tools for screen time lack in assessing children's exposure comprehensively. Most tools lack reporting of psychometric properties and focus primarily on assessing duration of screen time. The increasing number of articles assessing exposure to mobile devices in recent years reflects a growing interest in the impact of screen time on young children.

Summary: This meta-analysis and systematic review found that high-dose vitamin D supplementation was not associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) in children aged 0 to 6 years, and that clinical adverse events potentially related to the supplementation were rare. These findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation in the dose ranges of 1200 to 10,000 IU/d and bolus doses up to 600,000 IU in young children may be well tolerated.

Summary: Burnout is a significant issue among general practitioners, but there is limited research on occupation-specific determinants of burnout in this profession. This study examines existing literature on both generic and occupation-specific determinants of burnout among GPs, finding that occupation-specific determinants play a significant role in burnout. The study also concludes that the quality of the research does not affect the outcomes.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the determinants and barriers of circular business model adoption through a systematic literature review of 67 journal articles. It identifies 54 different determinants classified into eight macro categories: culture, regulation, market, strategy, business case, collaboration, operations, and knowledge. The findings can guide policy-makers, researchers, and decision makers in understanding what obstacles to avoid and drivers to employ when aiming to increase circular business model adoption.

Summary: We review the literature on technological change and employment over the past four decades, distinguishing between five broad technology categories. We find that the labor displacing effect of technology is offset by compensating mechanisms that create or reinstate labor. This suggests that concerns over widespread technology-driven unemployment lack empirical evidence. However, blue-collar workers have been negatively affected by technological change, highlighting the need for effective upskilling and reskilling strategies and targeted support systems in policy making.

Summary: The popularity of ESG investing is driving private sectors to improve their ESG performance. Stakeholders rely on firms' ESG disclosures to evaluate their investment decisions. The determinants of ESGD are supported by multiple theoretical frameworks. Factors such as natural disasters, political and legal systems, ownership structure, board characteristics, and CEO characteristics impact ESGD.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of social status, cultural aspects, and psychological distress on dietary intake in older adults. The results showed that family structure, educational level, and income were significant determinants affecting dietary choices and eating behavior. Although there was heterogeneity in the studies, further research is needed to harmonize and integrate different approaches to better understand the determinants of dietary intake.

Summary: This study examines the experiences of individuals in North East England who have experienced in-work poverty (IWP). The findings show that IWP has a negative impact on the adoption of healthy behaviors, particularly for single parents, resulting in an obesogenic environment. This highlights the need for further exploration of the socioeconomic health disparity associated with IWP.

Summary: This study explored adolescents' perspectives of signing up to and continuing involvement in a hypothetical longitudinal health research study. Social connection, personalised feedback, and financial incentives were identified as driving factors for sign-up, while lack of interest, the perception of commitment, and timing of recruitment were key barriers. Adolescents preferred recruitment processes via social media, monthly data collection, and hybrid data collection with in-person contact with a consistent, non-judgemental researcher.

Summary: Insufficient sleep is associated with weight gain and metabolic dysregulation due to the reduction in diet quality. This study examines the effect of sleep duration and timing on diet quality the following day among free-living adolescents and finds that shorter sleep duration at night leads to a decrease in diet quality.

Summary: The recent Covid-19 pandemic has brought attention to social inequalities in access to food, nutrition, and outdoor spaces. These inequalities contribute to socio-economic patterns of obesity, and the environmental drivers of obesity are not being adequately addressed. Obesity has significant implications for health inequalities and healthcare systems. The obesogenic environment supports unhealthy eating patterns and sedentary behavior. A more effective approach would be to change the environments that promote unhealthy habits. This review paper focuses on the role of food environments, or foodscapes, in obesity prevention and calls for collaborative action from various stakeholders.

Summary: Reporting of intervention research has been insufficient for many years. Despite the development and promotion of freely available checklists to improve reporting, inadequate reporting of intervention components remains a widespread issue. An assessment of journal submission guidelines revealed that only one out of 33 journals encouraged the use of reporting checklists for all intervention components. Urgent action is needed to address this problem and improve the evidence base.

Summary: The study aims to investigate socioeconomic inequities in the intervention and evaluation process of the GoActive physical activity intervention and demonstrates a novel approach to evaluating intervention-related inequalities. The results indicate that the GoActive intervention had a more favorable impact on MVPA and BMI for adolescents of low socioeconomic position, despite lower intervention engagement. However, differential response to evaluation measures may have biased these conclusions.

Summary: This study examined the association between time spent on social media use and BMI z-score in adolescents, particularly focusing on potential explanatory pathways for boys and girls. The results showed that girls who spent more than 5 hours per day on social media had a higher BMI z-score, and this association was partially explained by sleep duration, depressive symptoms, body-weight satisfaction, and well-being.

Summary: In 2020, drug related deaths in the UK reached a 25-year high, particularly affecting illicit opioid users. Heroin Assisted Treatment (HAT) is seen as an alternative for those who have not responded to traditional opioid substitution therapies. This study conducted qualitative interviews with healthcare providers involved in HAT and identified multiple challenges and barriers to its implementation and delivery.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between activity behaviors before/during pregnancy and later parenthood. The results showed that women who sat for long periods of time before/during pregnancy were more sedentary 4-7 years postpartum, and those who engaged in moderate-/strenuous exercise before/during pregnancy were more active in later parenthood.

Summary: The dietary intake and eating behaviours of adolescents in the UK are a concern for public health. Schools are seen as an ideal setting to promote health and improve young people's nutrition outcomes. However, the implementation, sustainability, and effectiveness of healthy school food policies are not well understood, which may hinder progress in improving school food provision and nutrition education in the UK. This research aimed to understand the factors influencing healthy school food provision and adolescents' food choices, and to develop a practical framework for schools to address these issues.

Summary: This study aims to explore the existing regulatory mechanisms to restrict hot food takeaway (HFT) outlets by understanding the processes at local and national levels. The researchers utilized the Planning Appeals Portal to identify recent HFT appeal cases across England and conducted interviews with professionals involved in planning and health. The results showed that communication across professional groups and understanding the long-term impact of takeaway outlets on health and communities are crucial factors in successfully defending decisions.
