Abstract

Digital health literacy (DHL) is a fundamental determinant of individuals’ ability to navigate, assess, and utilize online health information effectively. This study examines the systemic factors influencing DHL outcomes, the role of public health institutions in mitigating literacy disparities, and the implications for healthcare accessibility. A systematic review methodology was employed, analyzing literature from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The findings highlight that healthcare policies, education systems, and cultural factors shape individuals’ digital health competencies. While digital health interventions improve access to health information, barriers such as misinformation, digital divides, and disparities in digital competencies persist. Public health institutions play a critical role in addressing these challenges through structured education programs, policy advocacy, and targeted community engagement initiatives. The study underscores the necessity of integrating digital health literacy training into educational curricula, professional development for healthcare providers, and public health campaigns to enhance equitable healthcare access. Future research should focus on evaluating DHL interventions, standardizing assessment frameworks, and exploring strategies to combat misinformation in digital health contexts. Improving digital health literacy is essential for empowering individuals, enhancing patient engagement, and fostering more inclusive digital healthcare environments.

Abstract

Health literacy is a key driver of health equity, yet persistent gaps remain among ethnic minorities. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for English language studies published between January 2013 and December 2023 using the terms “health literacy,” “ethnicity,” “cultural competence,” and related keywords. Inclusion criteria comprised empirical investigations reporting quantitative or qualitative data on health literacy outcomes stratified by ethnicity. Two reviewers independently screened 6,124 records, appraising methodological quality with the JBI critical appraisal tools; 97 articles met all criteria. Low socioeconomic status, limited language proficiency, and culturally incongruent services consistently predicted inadequate health literacy across settings. Evidence based digital interventions such as bilingual telehealth portals (e.g., MiSalud), culturally tailored SMS programmes like Text4baby that increased prenatal visit adherence by 18 percent among Latina users (5), and community embedded mobile apps for chronic disease self management demonstrated measurable improvements in comprehension and self care. Ethnic disparities in health literacy can be reduced through intersecting policy, clinical, and technological innovations that recognise culture and language as central determinants of health.

Abstract

Bullying among adolescents remains a critical public health and educational concern, impacting mental well-being, academic performance, and social development. This study explores the multifaceted nature of bullying, focusing on its psychological, social, and economic determinants, as well as the effectiveness of intervention strategies. A systematic review of literature from academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO was conducted, selecting peer-reviewed studies published in the last decade. The results highlight the protective role of family support and positive school climates in mitigating bullying-related distress. Economic disparities significantly influence bullying prevalence, with students from lower-income backgrounds facing heightened risks. Effective intervention strategies include restorative justice practices, social-emotional learning programs, and anonymous reporting platforms. Cross-national comparisons reveal that community-based interventions, such as Finland’s KiVa program, yield more sustainable outcomes by fostering an inclusive school culture. The discussion underscores the need for comprehensive policies that integrate school-wide prevention programs, parental involvement, and mental health support. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess the long-term effects of bullying and the scalability of different intervention models. A multi-stakeholder approach involving educators, policymakers, and parents is essential to creating a safer educational environment. Addressing bullying through targeted interventions and policy reforms will contribute to improved student well-being and academic success.

Abstract

Healthcare disparities between urban and rural areas pose significant public health challenges, affecting healthcare accessibility, quality, and outcomes. This study systematically reviews the factors contributing to these disparities, including socioeconomic status, geographic barriers, healthcare infrastructure, and workforce distribution. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major academic databases, focusing on peer-reviewed studies examining urban-rural healthcare inequalities and potential interventions. Findings indicate that rural populations experience limited access to healthcare due to inadequate medical facilities, long travel distances, and a shortage of healthcare professionals. Socioeconomic determinants, such as lower income and education levels, further exacerbate these disparities. Telemedicine has emerged as a potential solution, improving healthcare access in remote areas. However, its effectiveness is hindered by digital literacy gaps, infrastructure limitations, and privacy concerns. Policy interventions, including equitable healthcare funding, rural physician incentive programs, and enhanced digital health literacy initiatives, are crucial to addressing these challenges. Future research should explore scalable solutions for telemedicine implementation, assess the long-term impact of healthcare policy reforms, and develop integrated strategies to enhance healthcare accessibility in underserved communities. Ensuring equitable healthcare access remains a critical goal for global health systems, necessitating collaborative efforts from policymakers, healthcare providers, and technology developers.

Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major global public health concern, particularly among young populations. Comprehensive sex education has been identified as a key strategy for reducing STI incidence, improving awareness, and promoting safe sexual behaviors. This study examines the effectiveness of sex education compared to abstinence-only approaches and public health campaigns, analyzing its role in behavioral change and stigma reduction. A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature from major academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, was conducted. The findings reveal that sex education programs integrated into national curricula significantly improve STI prevention outcomes. Compared to abstinence-based programs, comprehensive sex education leads to higher rates of contraceptive use and better decision-making regarding sexual health. Moreover, its role in reducing stigma fosters an environment where individuals feel encouraged to seek healthcare services and undergo STI testing without fear of discrimination. Despite its effectiveness, sociocultural barriers and inconsistent policy implementation continue to hinder sex education initiatives. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration between educators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. Future research should explore long-term impacts, digital education tools, and culturally adaptive strategies to enhance program efficacy. Strengthening sex education policies will be crucial for reducing STI prevalence and improving global sexual health outcomes.
