Abstract

Tropical diseases remain a significant public health burden among children in rural areas, where environmental factors, limited healthcare access, and socioeconomic disparities contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates. This study evaluates the impact of climatic variables, inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, and healthcare accessibility on disease transmission. A systematic review of literature was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, employing keywords related to tropical diseases, environmental risk factors, and pediatric health. The results indicate that climate fluctuations significantly influence the incidence of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. Poor sanitation infrastructure is strongly associated with increased cases of diarrheal diseases and helminth infections. Additionally, rural communities face healthcare access limitations, resulting in delayed diagnoses and suboptimal treatment for affected children. Socioeconomic conditions further exacerbate these health disparities, leading to higher infection rates and adverse outcomes. indings suggest the need for integrated public health interventions that address environmental, healthcare, and socioeconomic determinants. Strengthening WASH infrastructure, improving healthcare accessibility, and implementing climate-responsive disease control strategies are essential for reducing the burden of tropical diseases in rural children. Future research should explore long-term intervention effectiveness and interdisciplinary approaches to mitigate disease transmission. Addressing these challenges through sustainable policy initiatives and community engagement is crucial for improving pediatric health outcomes in endemic regions.

Abstract

Health literacy is a critical determinant of health outcomes and disease prevention. This study systematically reviews the relationship between health literacy and health behaviors, emphasizing its role in improving adherence to preventive measures and healthcare utilization. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed studies that examined the impact of health literacy on preventive behaviors. Findings indicate that individuals with higher health literacy are more likely to engage in health-promoting behaviors, utilize healthcare services, and effectively manage chronic diseases. In contrast, those with lower health literacy experience higher health risks due to limited access to and understanding of health information. The study highlights the effectiveness of community-based education programs, digital interventions, and culturally tailored strategies in improving health literacy. However, disparities persist, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged and migrant populations. Addressing these disparities requires targeted policies integrating health literacy into education systems, healthcare services, and public health initiatives. Future research should explore innovative interventions and standardized assessment tools to enhance the effectiveness of health literacy programs. Strengthening health literacy is essential for reducing health inequities, enhancing preventive care, and improving overall population health.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on digital health interventions has underscored the need to enhance digital health literacy to improve individual health outcomes and quality of life. This study explores the effectiveness of digital health literacy interventions, including mobile applications, online education platforms, and telehealth services, in improving health knowledge and self-care behaviors. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, with selected studies focusing on adult populations and chronic disease management. Findings indicate that digital interventions significantly enhance health literacy and health-related behaviors; however, challenges such as disparities in digital access, socioeconomic factors, and variations in digital literacy levels limit widespread adoption. Comparative analysis reveals that while digital interventions offer advantages in accessibility and engagement, they must be adapted to different demographic and socioeconomic contexts to ensure equity. Policy implications highlight the necessity of investing in digital infrastructure, integrating digital literacy into healthcare education, and implementing data security regulations to foster trust and usability. The study concludes that digital health literacy is a crucial component of modern healthcare strategies. Addressing barriers and optimizing digital intervention designs are essential for maximizing the potential of digital health tools in promoting preventive care and improving public health outcomes. Future research should focus on long-term intervention effectiveness, AI-driven personalization, and culturally inclusive health literacy programs.

Abstract

Health literacy is a fundamental determinant of infectious disease prevention and management, influencing individuals' ability to access, understand, and utilize health information effectively. This study systematically reviews the impact of health literacy on disease prevention behaviors, treatment adherence, and healthcare accessibility. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed studies published in the past decade. Findings indicate that higher health literacy levels are associated with improved compliance with preventive measures, such as vaccination and hygiene practices, while lower literacy levels contribute to misinformation susceptibility and inadequate healthcare utilization. Community-based interventions, educational policies, and digital health strategies have demonstrated significant effectiveness in enhancing health literacy, particularly in vulnerable populations. However, disparities persist due to socioeconomic barriers, limited access to digital resources, and inconsistent policy implementation across different healthcare systems. Addressing these challenges requires multi-sectoral collaboration, increased investment in public health education, and the integration of digital literacy initiatives. Future research should explore innovative approaches, such as artificial intelligence-driven health education tools, to further improve accessibility and engagement. Strengthening health literacy remains a vital strategy in enhancing global health resilience and reducing the burden of infectious diseases.

Abstract

Adolescent alcohol consumption remains a critical public health concern, influenced by peer dynamics, social media exposure, and socioeconomic factors. This study examines the role of these variables in shaping adolescent drinking behaviors and explores the effectiveness of regulatory policies in mitigating alcohol-related risks. A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing studies from PubMed, Psyc, Scopus, and other academic databases. Findings reveal that peer influence significantly contributes to adolescent alcohol use, while social media platforms act as both a risk factor and a potential tool for intervention. Cross-national comparisons highlight the effectiveness of strict alcohol regulations, such as higher taxation and sales restrictions, in reducing underage drinking rates. Furthermore, socioeconomic disparities impact adolescent exposure to alcohol marketing and accessibility, necessitating targeted policy interventions. The study underscores the urgent need for comprehensive policies addressing both environmental and social determinants of adolescent alcohol use. Strategies should include stricter advertising regulations, digital health interventions, and community-based prevention programs. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies assessing the long-term effects of adolescent alcohol consumption, as well as innovative intervention methods leveraging social media platforms. By addressing these gaps, policymakers and public health professionals can develop more effective strategies to mitigate adolescent drinking behaviors and reduce long-term health risks.
