Accepted: 23 May 2017. Published: 22 June 2017. DOI: https://doi.org/10.35898/ghmj-1190 Abstract is not required for photo essay. Below are the summary and keywords the journal provides for insight to our reader.  Summary: The article highlights the global epidemiological significance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in addressing poverty. It proposes an innovative approach using the World Health Organization's (WHO) Health Promoting School (HPS) model to address factors affecting children's health and well-being. The HPS approach focuses on multi-disciplinary strategies within school communities, aiming to generate lifelong awareness and positive behaviors that influence the social determinants of health. School-based programs, especially in low and middle-income countries, often include activities like planting school gardens, contributing to improved nutrition, academic achievement, and skill development. The article emphasizes the relevance of these initiatives to specific SDGs (1-6) and underscores the role of schools in reaching a large population to address social determinants of health. Keywords: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) World Health Organization (WHO) Health Promoting School (HPS) model Multi-disciplinary strategies School-based health promotion Social determinants of health School gardens Nutrition Academic achievement Skill development Low and middle-income countries Micronutrients Food security Sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

There are many reasons to write a paper. Your reason ‘why' will be personal and uniquely yours. You may well have had an innovative idea or collected novel research data, discovered new information of importance, or found a better way to do something; it maybe you are in a profession where it is an expectation that you ‘publish' as part of your career path. Whatever the reason, knowledge transfer through peer reviewed publication is an integral part of academic activity and the advancement of science, so many of us find ourselves faced with the task of writing a paper and submitting it for publication.  This editorial provides the general formula that most scientific papers follow, and the sections that make up an article. The anatomy of a successful scientific paper includes Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials/Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion. Each journal also has its own requirements for formatting and content that define its style, so it is essential to read the journal's ‘Guidelines for Authors' to get detailed instructions on all aspects of how to set out your paper; these are available online; for example for the Global Health Management Journal, go to: https://publications.inschool.id/index.php/ghmj. Writing a paper is never easy, but it can be straightforward if you follow the established guidelines; remember Asher's six words for framing your manuscript, and, include the elements required in each section of the paper. Writing a paper is best not done alone. Gather ideas, thoughts and encouragement from your co-authors and supervisor/colleagues; have someone not connected with the work you have done read what you have written to make sure it is easy to understand (and interesting). We all learn from reading papers other authors have written in good journals, and from the feedback we receive through reviewer's comments/suggestions on what we have written. When your paper is published, remember to pause and celebrate your success, as being published is an achievement, and only happens after a lot of hard work. Then, once you are an author, keep writing! Also, act as a mentor to the friend or colleague who asks you, "How do I write up and publish my scientific research?”

Abstract

Health promotion is the process we employ as health care providers and policy makers to enable people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. Effective health promotion includes several major components, and while policies must be made to promote health, much can be also done by small multidisciplinary teams working with local communities. Importantly such teams are most effective where they include members of the target audience for the health promotion initiative. Consequently where the health of mothers and children is the priority, to engage the target audience effectively, parents and family members including children should contribute as members of the team. Worldwide, education of girls is known to generate multiple health and economic benefits; measures to counter misinformation and use of education programs such as the WHO health promotion model to provide knowledge accompanied by practical health-related skills are of proven value. Effective teams incorporate cultural traits and gender equity into strategies that build resilience and self-regulatory efficacy over social determinants of health. Strategies that help individuals and communities to advance towards the UN sustainable development goals have obvious merit. Health knowledge can be conveyed readily, for example in relation to childhood vaccination, but achieving changes in values, attitudes, and health habits requires effort and innovation by multidisciplinary teams that work synergistically to promote health in an innovative and inclusive manner. The more this is done, the greater the beneficial changes we are likely to achieve.

Abstract

The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) framework now underlies the evolution and epigenetics of many non-communicable diseases that develop in adult life. Type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart disease and stroke in particular have links back to events during the first 1000 days of life, and as the world is witnessing an epidemic of these conditions, identifying measures able to contribute to reducing the potential for these NCDs to develop in our aging populations becomes all the more important. Parental health at conception and good maternal health and nutrition throughout pregnancy are known to be integral to normal infant development and health in later life, but more recently the central importance of infant nutrition that achieves healthy weight gain has become recognized. In this context, achieving growth patterns for infants that avoid either the onset of obesity or development of stunting during the first 1000 days of life appears to be an achievable goal with significant potential for the avoidance of many NCDs in later life. Hence the relevance of health promotion initiatives to share this knowledge among health care providers and educate parents on the benefits of optimal infant nutrition.

Abstract

Sexual and gender related violence (SGRV) against girls is a dark stain on the fabric of life and the most pervasive breach of human rights worldwide. In spite of laws to combat violence, weak enforcement and discriminatory social norms remain significant problems globally, and urgent action employing ‘novel and innovative’ solutions is called for by the World Health organization and United Nations International Children’s Fund. Using knowledge of African society gleaned from work in school-based health promotion programs in Uganda we engaged girls, gave them a voice, and raised national awareness about the impact of SGRV through a celebrity recorded music video that highlighted the SGRV priorities the girls identified. While the unique power of the combination of images, illustrative scenarios, lyrics and music in the video engaged and informed, still photographs were also integral to the success of this call from girls ‘to make things better”. Our photographic record of this project captured many ethnographic elements of this initiative during its creation; selected images were central to the success of the promotional campaign to disseminate the messaging of the video nationwide; sharing photographs helped to maintain the engagement of team members, especially those unable to be in Uganda; and, our image archive provides a uniquely valuable element for knowledge transfer of ‘what worked and why’ in this initiative.

Abstract

The environmental consequences of climate change have become a global health emergency. Reports and reviews continue to document multiple health impacts from increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events like severe drought, flooding and wildfires. The consequences of global warming on human health include heat-related morbidity and mortality, an increase in vector borne and infectious diseases, greater severity of respiratory diseases, adverse nutritional effects from food insecurity, higher rates of injury and multiple effects from financial, educational, social and psychological stressors. The extent to which climate change is impacting human health and lives is such that action by the public health community is urgently required to provide public education and define effective intervention, prevention and treatment strategies. Only in this way can the initiatives and policies be generated that are required to inform and engage everyone in society, and make people aware that action is needed to counter the dangers to health posed by climate change.  Published: 05 February 2025.
