[ARTICLE] Attitudes and perceived barriers toward healthy lifestyle behaviours in Jordanian adolescents: a developing country perspective

Background and aims: There is an urgent need to address the role of healthy diet and behaviors promoting health among school adolescents in order to tailor appropriate interventions in Jordanian schools. This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of Students As LifeStyle Activists (SALSA) survey alongside Jordanian adolescents’ attitudes and perceived barriers to healthy eating and physical activity.

Conclusion: Interventions should be tailored to health attitudes and beliefs of Jordanian school students in parallel with improving physical resources and enhancing peer and/or friend support.

[ARTICLE] Impact and cost of the peer-led Students As LifeStyle Activists programme in high schools

Objective: To determine the impact of a peer-led, school-based programme (Students As LifeStyle Activists; SALSA) on energy balance–related behaviours (EBRBs) in Grade 8 students, and the cost of implementing the programme.

Conclusion: The SALSA peer education programme had a positive impact on most of the dietary EBRBs examined. The cost evaluation showed that it is a relatively low-cost programme to implement.

[ARTICLE] Improving asthma outcomes in harder-to-reach populations: challenges for clinical and community interventions

The burden of asthma differs from country to country and within populations. The factors that influence this variation include asthma prevalence and severity, aspects of healthcare services (such as accessibility, quality and utilisation) and social demographic factors (such as income inequality, cultural and linguistic diversity and indigenous populations). The identification of individuals and populations that are ‘harder to reach’, ‘special’ or at greater risk of poor asthma outcomes therefore depends on how the burden of asthma and its management are measured. Meeting the challenge of educating harder-to-reach populations with asthma is the focus of this article.

“Our vision is to enable young people to make positive changes in their own lives, and the voice to make an impact on their peers and the school community.”
