Data from “A Mixed Method Approach to Understanding the Public Health Impact of a School-Based Citizen Science Program to Reduce Arsenic in Private Well Water”
Objectives We have approached the problem of low well water testing rates in Maine and New Hampshire communities by developing the All About Arsenic (AAA) project, which engages secondary school teachers and students as citizen scientists in collecting well water samples for analysis of arsenic and other toxic metals and supports their outreach efforts to their communities. Methods We assessed this project’s public health impact by analyzing student data relative to existing well water quality datasets in both states. In addition, we surveyed private well owners who contributed well water samples to the project to determine the actions taken to mitigate arsenic in well water. Data The data presented here are used in the analyses performed for the publication: "A Mixed Method Approach to Understanding the Public Health Impact of a School-Based Citizen Science Program to Reduce Arsenic in Private Well Water.” Additional data may be available at: The Anecdata Project Page: https://anecdata.org/projects/view/299 The project website: https://www.allaboutarsenic.org/
Preliminary table of Citizen Science initiatives for monitoring soil health
<p>This matrix is the result of collaborative work for Deliverable 1.1 (WP1; T1.1) of the ECHO project. It facilitated the creation of an overview of the current state of the art in projects, initiatives, or activities that have already involved citizens in monitoring soil health, from both inside and outside the European Union. From this, strategic recommendations for ECHO were derived, ensuring that this project not only makes a valuable contribution to the field of soil health monitoring but also sets a precedent for future citizen science endeavors.</p>

Data from: CoAct Citizen Science chatbot explores social support networks in mental health based on lived experiences
<p>A data set on lived experiences in the context of social support in mental health, created within a Citizen Social Science project. </p> <p><br> Societies around the world increasingly encounter wicked and complex problems, such as those related to mental health, environmental justice, and youth employment. <strong>CoAct as a EU-funded global effort</strong> addresses these problems by deploying Citizen Social Science. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Citizen Social Science</strong> is understood here as participatory research co-designed and directly driven by citizen groups sharing a social concern. This methodology wants to give citizen groups an equal ‘seat at the table’ through <strong>active participation in research</strong>, from the design to the interpretation of the results and their transformation into concrete actions. Citizens thus act as <strong>co-researchers</strong> and are recognised as in-the-field competent experts. </p> <p> </p> <p>In Barcelona, a group of <strong>32 co-researchers</strong> work together with the OpenSystems group, Universitat de Barcelona, the Catalan Federation of Mental Health (Federació Salut Mental Catalunya), and with the help of many others on a better understanding of informal <strong>social support networks in mental health</strong> in the project <em>CoActuem per la Salut Mental</em> (lit. “We act together for mental health”). The co-researchers, who are either persons with a personal history of mental health problems or are family members of the latter, contributed their <strong>personal experiences related to social support</strong> in the form of <strong>222 micro-stories</strong>, each shorter than 400 characters, and most accompanied by an illustration by Pau Badia.</p> <p> </p> <p>Those micro-stories form the heart of the first co-created Citizen Science chatbot, the code of which is open on <a href="https://github.com/Chaotique/CoActuem_per_la_Salut_Mental_Chatbot.git">https://github.com/Chaotique/CoActuem_per_la_Salut_Mental_Chatbot.git</a> . The <strong>Telegram chatbot</strong> sends them to participants <strong>on a daily basis over the course of a year</strong> and asks them either, whether they and/ or their close surrounding lived this experience, too (stories of type C), or, how they would or would have reacted in the presented situation (stories of type T). The answers of each participant can be contrasted with the individual participants’ answer to a 32-questions <strong>socio-demographic survey</strong>. Further, the timing of the messages is included to allow for a broader analysis. </p> <p> </p> <p>The chatbot is still running, hence this data set will still be updated. For further information on the project <strong>CoAct</strong>, see <a href="https://coactproject.eu/">https://coactproject.eu/</a>.

Please direct your questions regarding the data set to <strong>coactuem[at]ub.edu</strong>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements</strong></p> <p>The CoAct project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 873048. We especially thank the co-researchers for the passion and time invested.</p>

Health-related quality of life and musculoskeletal pain in health sciences university students
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To analyse the health-related quality of life and associated variables in health science university students. Secondly, to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and central sensitisation, and the differences by gender.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Cross-sectional study among health sciences university students, using anonymous, self-administered questionnaires (SF-12, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS), Central Sensitisation Inventory (SCI)).</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Three hundred and thirty eight students were included (76.3% female; age 22.5±4.9 years). The mean SF-12 Physical Component Summary was higher than the mean of 50 in the Spanish adult population as a whole for both female and male students (54.6 vs. 55.9; p=0.02), whereas the mean SF-12 Mental Component Summary was lower than the population mean (36.7 vs. 42.8; p<0.001). These differences persisted when compared with age- and sex-matched population standardized scores.</p> <p>A high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was observed, particularly in the back area. Pain was generalised, chronic, of moderate intensity, and more frequent in women.</p> <p>Variables associated with worse physical health were being female (B=-1.5; p=0.035), having a disability (B=-4.6; p<0.001), chronic musculoskeletal pain at any site (B=-2.1; p=0.001), and a score ≥40 on the SCI (B=-3.2: p<0.001). The only variable associated with poorer mental health was the SCI score.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Health sciences university students report a significant deterioration in mental health and a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain, with symptoms of central sensitisation associated with poorer physical and mental health. Women have worse mental health and a higher prevalence, intensity and chronification of musculoskeletal pain.</p>

Novel Science communication – how to build public health knowledge across the social gradient. The Healthy Choices Project (WP5).
<p>Everyday life consists of hundreds of choices of which many may have an impact on our health. The citizens of the modern Nordic welfare states are in general well-educated and thus can be assumed to know what is best for them. Despite this our health care systems face an increasing burden of lifestyle related diseases and there is a difference across the social gradient. Here building public health knowledge through communication is key. The reason for people making unhealthy choices are many and can be that; they do not know what is good for them (lack information) or do not understand (lack understanding) or do not care (carelessness). However it seems likely that it is more complex than that. Maybe they do not receive the information, because gets conveyed through channels that they do not consult or maybe the format of the message does not ‘click’? Could it be, that ‘one media message or channel does not fit all’? </p> <p>Over the last decades there has been an increased focus from both scientists themselves and politicians to scientific and practical field of ‘science communication’. Consequently, various advanced modes of communicating e.g. health issues to the general populations have been developed, and today scholars of Mass Media term this development the ‘scientification’ of media. Furthermore, media and information availability has exploded since the emergence of the Internet in the early 1990s. Research has indicated that social gradient also is a factor affecting a person’s media consumption and habit. </p> <p>In the healthy choices project we aim through novel methods to learn more about these challenges and at the develop new methods of conveying public health knowledge to enable people to make healthier choices across the social gradient. We have so far built a framework for this including a science group, consisting of public health experts, and a communication group consisting of experienced science communicators. The Science group is consulted about risk factors and health endpoints and what to prioritize. Two PhD students will be involved in; 1) assessing media consumption and usage related to health issues across social classes (Low social gradient versus high social gradient) and across the generational gap (young and elderly) and 2) develop and test various media message formats for target groups including considerations of the social gradient. This project will provide new understanding on how to communicate public health messages and reduce social inequalities in health.</p> <p> </p>

The role of health sciences libraries in supporting medical image consent standards survey documentation
<p><strong><em>Objective</em>:</strong> To determine if health sciences library workers were familiar with best practices regarding informed consent for the publication of medical images and if they incorporate the recommendations into their professional work.<br><br><strong><em>Methods</em>: </strong>A survey was developed by the authors and distributed to library listservs in the United States. The results of the survey were tabulated in R.<br><br><strong><em>Results</em>: </strong>A total of 90 respondents were included in the data analysis with all respondents reporting multiple responsibilities in their professional role. While the majority of library workers (59%) were familiar with the best practices, few incorporated the recommendations into their everyday professional work.<br><br><strong><em>Conclusions</em>:</strong> The professional work of health sciences library workers does not appear to include a significant inclusion of the best practices for the informed consent for the publication of medical images. There is a need for future research to better understand how library workers can better incorporate their knowledge of medical image publication consent standards into their work.</p>
Researchers and Their Experimental Models: A Pilot Survey in the Context of the European Union Health and Life Science Research
<p>A significant debate is ongoing on the effectiveness of animal experimentation, due to the increasing reports of failure in the translation of results from preclinical animal experiments to human patients. Scientific, ethical, social and economic considerations linked to the use of animals raise concerns in a variety of societal contributors (regulators, policy makers, non-governmental organisations, industry, etc.). The aim of this study was to record researchers’ voices about their vision on this science evolution, to reconstruct as truthful as possible an image of the reality of health and life science research, by using a key instrument in the hands of the researcher: the experimental models. Hence, we surveyed European-based health and life sciences researchers, to reconstruct and decipher the varying orientations and opinions of this community over these large transformations. In the interest of advancing the public debate and more accurately guide the policy of research, it is important that policy makers, society, scientists and all stakeholders (1) mature as comprehensive as possible an understanding of the researchers’ perspectives on the selection and establishment of the experimental models, and (2) that researchers publicly share the research community opinions regarding the external factors influencing their professional work. Our results highlighted a general homogeneity of answers from the 117 respondents. However, some discrepancies on specific key issues and topics were registered in the subgroups. These recorded divergent views might prove useful to policy makers and regulators to calibrate their agenda and shape the future of the European health and life science research. Overall, the results of this pilot study highlight the need of a continuous, open and broad discussion between researchers and science policy stakeholders.</p>

Education in the Anthropocene: Assessing planetary health science standards in the US
The environmental crises defining the Anthropocene demand ubiquitous mitigation efforts, met with collective support. Yet, disengagement and disbelief surrounding planetary health threats are pervasive, especially in the United States (US). This skepticism may be influenced by inadequate education addressing the scope and urgency of the planetary health crisis. We analyzed current K-12 science standards related to planetary health throughout the US, assessing their quality and potential predictors of variation. While planetary health education varies widely across the US with respect to the presence and depth of terms, most science standards neglected to convey these concepts with a sense of urgency. Furthermore, state/territory political affiliation and primary GDP contributor were each predictive of the quality of planetary health education. We propose that a nation-wide science standard could fully address the urgency of the planetary health crisis and prevent political bias from influencing the breadth and depth of concepts covered.
