    Physical activity in public space: insights from a global community of practice applying photovoice as a tool for digital participatory place analysis
    (Routledge, 01.03.2024) Köckler, Heike; Shrestha, Rehana; Aslam, Atif Bilal; Berger, Tania; Börner, Susanne; Cheung, Clement; Fabian, Carlo; Shankavaram, Hiranmayi; Shrestha, Reshma; Shrestha, Sadichchha; Simon, Daniel [in: Cities & Health]
    Physical activity in open spaces is a crucial topic of urban health around the globe. As cities and everyday life differ a lot in specific urban contexts, places for physical activity may vary in shape, perception and use by local people. A group of researchers from eight countries in Europe, South America and Asia used the same online-photovoice application to explore places in their cities regarding physical activity in public spaces. Using the same application in eight countries with diverse local participants, we collected a rich basis for a reflection on methodological issues, the usability of the online-photovoice application and determinants of physical activity in public spaces in contrasting cities. The paper aims to provide traceable documentation of a collaborative learning activity with an online-photovoice application. In doing so, results are presented from researchers’ self-reflection as a global community of practice on how the online-photovoice approach can be applied to place analysis for healthy urban development at different places with practitioners, communities, and scientists from diverse backgrounds. The paper contributes to a broader problem understanding of physical activity in public open spaces. As one result, we find that including aspects of safety and conflict in public space is highly relevant.

    Exploring online health information seeking and sharing among older adults: a mini-review about acceptance, potentials, and barriers
    (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2024) Bachofner, Yves; Seifert, Alexander; Sepahniya, Samin; Fabian, Carlo [in: Frontiers in Digital Health]
    Online health information seeking (OHIS) is understood by health care, health promotion, and disease prevention experts as a resource for healthy aging. It is particularly relevant for older adults since this population can benefit significantly from the accessibility and convenience of online health platforms and health information. Nevertheless, empirical findings regarding the acceptance, potentials, and barriers of OHIS among older adults are limited. This mini-review aims to explore the level of acceptance of OHIS, including passive reading of information and active interactions with peers, among the older population. Furthermore, it examines the potentials and barriers associated with such practices. The findings ultimately emphasize the evolving landscape of internet health information exploration among older adults and the potential advantages and challenges that may arise, especially in the context of active interactions with peers.

    Advancing urban green and blue space contributions to public health
    (Elsevier, 09/2023) Hunter, Ruth Fiona; Nieuwenhuijsen, Mark; Fabian, Carlo; Murphy, Niamh; O'Hara, Kelly; Rappe, Erja; Sallis, James Fleming; Lambert, Estelle Victoria; Duenas, Olga Lucia Sarmiento; Sugiyama, Takemi; Kahlmeier, Sonja [in: The Lancet Public Health]
    Urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) have the potential to improve public health and wellbeing, address health inequities, and provide co-benefits for the environment, economy, and society. To achieve these ambitions, researchers should engage with communities, practitioners, and policy makers in a virtuous circle of research, policy, implementation, and active citizenship using the principles of co-design, co-implementation, co-evaluation, and cotranslation. This Viewpoint provides an integrated perspective on the challenges that hinder the delivery of healthenhancing UGBS and recommendations to address them. Our recommendations include: strengthening the evidence beyond cross-sectional research designs, strengthening the evidence base on UGBS intervention approaches, evaluating the effects on diverse population groups and communities, addressing inequities in the distribution and quality of UGBS, accelerating research on blue space, providing evidence for environmental effects, incorporating co-design approaches, developing innovative modelling methods, fostering whole-system evidence, harnessing political drivers, creating collaborations for sustainable UGBS action, and advancing evidence in low-income and middle-income countries. The full potential of UGBS as public health, social, economic, and environmental assets is yet to be realised. Acting on the research and translation recommendations will aid in addressing these challenges in collaboration with research, policy, practice, and communities.

    Promoting hand hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic: parallel randomized trial for the optimization of the Soapp app
    (JMIR Publications, 2023) Baretta, Dario; Amrein, Melanie Alexandra; Bäder, Carole; Ruschetti, Gian Giacomo; Rüttimann, Carole; Del Rio Carral, Maria; Fabian, Carlo; Inauen, Jennifer [in: JMIR mHealth and uHealth]
    Background Hand hygiene is an effective behavior for preventing the spread of the respiratory disease COVID-19 and was included in public health guidelines worldwide. Behavior change interventions addressing hand hygiene have the potential to support the adherence to public health recommendations and, thereby, prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, randomized trials are largely absent during a pandemic; therefore, there is little knowledge about the most effective strategies to promote hand hygiene during an ongoing pandemic. This study addresses this gap by presenting the results of the optimization phase of a Multiphase Optimization Strategy of Soapp, a smartphone app for promoting hand hygiene in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective This study aimed to identify the most effective combination and sequence of 3 theory- and evidence-based intervention modules (habit, motivation, and social norms) for promoting hand hygiene. To this end, 9 versions of Soapp were developed (conditions), and 2 optimization criteria were defined: the condition with the largest increase in hand hygiene at follow-up and condition with the highest engagement, usability, and satisfaction based on quantitative and qualitative analyses. Methods This study was a parallel randomized trial with 9 intervention conditions defined by the combination of 2 intervention modules and their sequence. The trial was conducted from March to August 2021 with interested participants from the Swiss general population (N=232; randomized). Randomization was performed using Qualtrics (Qualtrics International Inc), and blinding was ensured. The duration of the intervention was 34 days. The primary outcome was self-reported hand hygiene at follow-up, which was assessed using an electronic diary. The secondary outcomes were user engagement, usability, and satisfaction assessed at follow-up. Nine participants were further invited to participate in semistructured exit interviews. A set of ANOVAs was performed to test the main hypotheses, whereas a thematic analysis was performed to analyze the qualitative data. Results The results showed a significant increase in hand hygiene over time across all conditions. There was no interaction effect between time and intervention condition. Similarly, no between-group differences in engagement, usability, and satisfaction emerged. Seven themes (eg, “variety and timeliness of the task load” and “social interaction”) were found in the thematic analysis. Conclusions The effectiveness of Soapp in promoting hand hygiene laid the foundation for the next evaluation phase of the app. More generally, the study supported the value of digital interventions in pandemic contexts. The findings showed no differential effect of intervention conditions involving different combinations and sequences of the habit, motivation, and social norms modules on hand hygiene, engagement, usability, and satisfaction. In the absence of quantitative differences, we relied on the results from the thematic analysis to select the best version of Soapp for the evaluation phase.

    The Development of ‘Age Appropriate’ Living Environments: Analysis of Two Case Studies from a Social Work Perspective
    (Elsevier, 2019) Fabian, Carlo; Janett, Sandra; Bischoff, Tobias; Pardini, Riccardo; Leitner, Johanna; Knöpfel, Carlo [in: Urban Planning]
    As the growing number of older people, particularly in urban areas, and changing lifestyles are increasing the importance of continuing to live in the community (ageing in place), studies show that age-related planning of living environments is often shaped by stereotypes, and that the needs of present and future older people are not sufficiently taken into account. In this context, two case studies based on Henri Lefebvre’s theory presented in his book The Production of Space investigate how ‘age-appropriate’ living environments are conceived, practiced and lived, and to what extent age-related stereotypes affect these processes. The two cases examined are an intergenerational project to promote physical activity and the development of a new city square. For both cases, interviews and walkthroughs were conducted with experts from various planning disciplines, as well as with current and future older people. The findings show that in planning practice the notions of old age and older people often remain diffuse and, at the same time, older people are often seen as a homogeneous and fragile group. The results indicate that the importance given to neighbourhood in old age can vary greatly. For social work, this implies that older people should be even more involved in the design of their living environments, through participatory processes, in order to better meet the heterogeneity of their needs.

    Der Beitrag partizipativer Prozesse bei der Freiraumentwicklung für die Gesundheit von Kindern - Eine theoretische Annäherung
    (Pabst Science Publishers, 2016) Fabian, Carlo [in: Umweltpsychologie]
    Natur und Naturerlebnisse haben einen positiven Effekt auf die Gesundheit von Menschen, ganz besonders auf die Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen, die sich physisch, psychisch und kognitiv noch entwickeln und dafür Reize brauchen, wie die Natur sie bietet. Darum ist die Entwicklung und Gestaltung von kindergerechten und naturnahen Freiräumen heute ein wichtiges Anliegen, und hier wiederum ist Partizipation ein aktueller und oft geforderter Ansatz, denn partizipative Entwicklungsprojekte unterstützen die Identifikation mit dem Freiraum oder der Stadt. Allerdings bestand bislang kaum Interesse an der Frage, ob und welchen Einfluss die partizipativen Prozesse selbst auf gesundheitsrelevante Faktoren haben. Der Beitrag geht dieser Frage anhand eines konkreten, auf die Teilhabe von Kindern bei der Gestaltung von Freiräumen fokussierten Praxisbeispiels nach. Diskutiert werden relevante Aspekte im Hinblick auf Stadt- und Raumentwicklung, Gesundheit und deren Determinanten sowie Partizipation als Haltung und Methode. Es zeigt sich, dass partizipative Prozesse verschiedene gesundheitsrelevante Faktoren stimulieren: Empowerment und Autonomie, Selbstwirksamkeit, Attribution und Kontrollüberzeugungen sowie Kohärenzgefühl. Es fehlen aber empirische Untersuchungen zu den konkreten Voraussetzungen, Wirkmechanismen und Effekte solcher Prozesse. Hier gilt es eine Forschungslücke zu schliessen.
