Abstract Background The main burden of global morbidity comes from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As recent data shows, almost 97% of mortality is caused by NCDs in Georgia. According to the WHO, Georgia has one of the highest smoking prevalence in Europe. Effective health promotion strategies are crucial to prevent chronic diseases and to improve health education. The main aim of this scoping review was to analyse the literature on health promotion strategies in Georgia, as well as to provide an overview of current initiatives and activities. Methods Medline and PubMed databases, as well as official government documents and grey literature where used to identify relevant literature. We finalised search by September 2019. Results Our study showed that the Formation of Health Care sector started in 1995 and since then, health promotion has been an important component of Public Health in the country. Moreover, four out of eight main goals of the 'Millennium Development Goals in Georgia' address health issues. Implementation of state programs and public health measures in the field of public health remains a main priority for the 'National Center for Disease Control and Public Health' (NCDC). Working areas of the center include development of health promotion, disease prevention strategies and programs. Currently, the NCDC is implementing nine state programs with this regard. However, our analyses showed that improvement of population's health is a complex process and requires coordinated actions by involving the following sectors: government, health, social and economic, NGOs, local municipalities, media and industrial sectors, health researchers and civil society. Conclusions Our study clearly demonstrates that health promotion strategies are essential for the improvement of nation's general health and welfare. However, increasing tendency of NCDs in the country requires the strengthening of existing programs as well as developing and implementing new strategies. Key messages The health promotion strategy, with its multi-component and multilateral nature, has the greatest potential to improve public health in Georgia. Strategies are particularly effective when it is strengthened by other actions, including partnership, community and intersectional involvement in decision-making.

Most of the major public health problems with which I have wrestled in my life – epidemics and pandemics, natural disasters, chronic noncommunicable diseases, are all symptomatic of, or related to, climate change and/or destruction of the environment. As a Christian, the roots lie in lack of respect for our Creator, and lack of reverence for the goodness and inter-dependence of all of creation.

Abstract Studies that address the problem of excess weight and inactive behaviors such as television and video games in children and adolescents have focused on chronic noncommunicable diseases, with few studies about the effects of sedentary lifestyle on coordination capacities (balance, precision and movement capacity). The objective of the study is to analyze the coordinative capacities in school children of grades 10 and 11 in a public school in Bogotá. This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 63 schoolchildren (30 men and 33 women) with an average age of 16.24 ± 0.689. The motor quotient was evaluated by means of the KTK test with the authorization of the institutional ethics committee, assent signature and informed consent. Descriptive statistics were obtained (mean SD frequencies, percentages). Data were tested using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and independent t-test was applied to measure the significant difference among the variables. P-value less than 0.05 was considered a significant difference. The motor quotient showed the following qualifications: symptomatic 11.1% (n = 7), normal 58.7% (n = 37) and good 30.2% (n = 19). Statistically significant differences (p < 0,05) were found in the motor quotient between boys (37,048) and girls (34,374), with girls being mainly in the symptomatic category. It can be concluded that girls need to increase motor experiences to improve their coordinative abilities. The importance of this study consisted in the possibility of identifying the effects of sedentarism on coordination capacities, as well as the impact produced by the current government by reducing hours of physical education in schools, leading to an increase in sedentarism. For this reason, it is essential to develop research aimed at stimulating coordination capacities in schoolchildren as a strategy to reduce public health problems. Key messages For this reason, it is essential to develop research aimed at stimulating coordination capacities in schoolchildren as a strategy to reduce public health problems. Promotion of public policy as a Determining factor in the reduction of sedentarism in children, through Strategies that include assessment of Coordinating Capacities of schoolchildren.

Background Fathers can play an important role in their children’s learning about relationships and sexuality but we know very little about the father’s lived experience in this regard. Aim To explore eight fathers’ perceptions and experiences of discussing puberty, relationships and reproduction with their 10-year-old children. Methods The paper commences with a genealogical analysis of the history of sex education in England from the Public Health Act of 1848 to the present day. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used as both a methodology and a method. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with each father and results were analysed ideographically, followed by analysis across the group. Interpretations were developed using a Foucauldian lens of governmentality and biopower. Findings The paper explores how synthesis of IPA with a Foucauldian lens revealed significant tensions between the fathers’ cognitions, accounts and behaviours, which were underpinned by an enduring perception of sexuality as taboo. Conclusion By providing a contextualised understanding of the fathers’ practices, this study demonstrates that a more informed approach to health promotion strategy can be achieved and the implications for nursing are explored.

The Government of Canada began supplying housing for some of its Eskimo people in the Northwest Territories in 1956. At this date the majority of Eskimos still followed their traditional nomadic way of life and lived in igloos or snow houses during winter, and in skin or canvas tents during summer. Since 1956, the tendency of Eskimo families to settle in the vicinity of trading posts, church missions, and newly established federal schools has increased, and the problem of providing permanent accommodation for them has been aggravated. At first the new townsmen improvised shelters from a combination of tents, packing cases, and scraps of metal, tar paper and lumber. When these inadequate dwellings were used as permanent residences, grave social and public health problems resulted from overcrowding.

ABSTRACTThe responsibility of the food and beverage industry for noncommunicable diseases is a controversial topic. Public health scholars identify the food and beverage industry as one of the main contributors to the rise of these diseases. We argue that aside from moral duties like not doing harm and respecting consumer autonomy, the food industry also has a responsibility for addressing the structural injustices involved in food-related health problems. Drawing on the work of Iris Marion Young, this article first shows how food-related public health problems can be understood as structural injustices. Second, it makes clear how the industry is sustaining these health injustices, and that due to this connection, corporate actors share responsibility for addressing food-related health problems. Finally, three criteria (capacity, benefit, and vulnerability) are discussed as grounds for attributing responsibility, allowing for further specification on what taking responsibility for food-related health problems can entail in corporate practice.
