I am delighted to announce this years’ winner of the Pittu Laungani Best Paper Award for the International Journal of Health Promotion and Education is from Ana Almeida and Peter Davey for ‘Integrating health promotion into sustainable development goal 11: major challenges and learned lessons from Healthy Municipalities, Cities and Communities (HMC) in Brazil’. In addition, there are two papers for a new ‘Highly Recommended’ category: Alrimawi et al.’s paper ‘Palestinian mothers’ home-safety practices for preventing injuries to their young children: multiple case study approach’ and Abercromby et al.’s paper ‘Go hard or go home: exploring young people’s knowledge attitudes and behaviours of alcohol use and water safety in Western Australia using the Health Belief Model’. Four interesting articles in this issue offer a rich selection for those working in health promotion and education. First, Kim and Wang’s paper sets out new insights into the planning of campaign measures to discourage the risky behaviour of texting while driving in the United States, from their exploratory study on the use of legal and social sanctions. The second paper by Paudel et al. focuses on visual impairment in Vietnam. Their study investigated the effects of a community eye health education intervention for health literacy in adults. The results showed that the intervention significantly increased awareness and knowledge of cataract and red eye prevention measures in the intervention community compared to the control community. Opportunities for healthier eating in a southern university campus in the United States are explored using the Social Ecological Model in the third paper by Mann et al. and offers some campus-wide solutions to foster a healthier food environment. In the final paper of this issue, Bami et al. investigate the prevalence rate of substance use and its risk and protective factors among adolescents in Bam County, Kerman province in the southeast of Iran. In this issue, we welcome three new members of the international Advisory Board (IAB): Dr Sami Kokko, an Associate Professor in Health Promotion at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences and Director of the Research Centre for Health Promotion (RCHP) at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland; Dr Anam Nyembezi, a Senior Lecturer at the School of Public Health, University of the Western Cape, teaching Health Promotion for Public Health modules; and Dr Emma Wilson is an Associate Professor of Public Health at the University of Nottingham and the Director for the Master of Public Health and Master of Global Health programmes. Our new IAB members are respected international academics and are integral to the strategic development and direction of the Journal.

In 1988, the World Health Organisation (WHO) passed a resolution to raise awareness of the risks of using tobacco. It identified a specific day to do this, the 31 May (each year) and named it ‘World No Tobacco Day’. Each year, there has been a campaign to focus on particular risks, the practices of the tobacco industry and what can be done to protect people from tobacco use. On this day, it can be useful to remind ourselves about the dangers of tobacco, both for users and non-users and how we can support the fight to reduce and in time eliminate tobacco use. Although the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was agreed and published in 2005 (World Health Organisation 2005), with over 8 million people dying from preventable tobacco-related diseases each year (World Health Organisation 2022), the dangers of tobacco use remain and are familiar to health promoters and educators. Tobacco use can adversely affect the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, neuro-sensory, skeletal, gynaecological and urological body systems. Tobacco use leads to poorer outcomes in maternity care for mother and infant. The latest data from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation in the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2019 (Global Burden of Disease Viewpoint Collaborators 2020) identifies that globally, tobacco accounts (across all age ranges) for 21.4% of male deaths and 8.3% of female deaths. The report identifies that the annual rate of change (ARC) in exposure to this risk between 2010 and 2019 was reducing which was good news. However, with high but preventable mortality rates from tobacco use, it is clear that there is still much to be done. As with most health problems, disparity exists in tobacco use worldwide. Globally, there is higher mortality in lowand middle-income countries. Some regions of the world have higher use than others for example, Withers, Nguyen, and McCool (2020, p 287) identify that ‘the Asia Pacific region is home to 30% of the world’s smokers”. Nationally disparities exist too, and in the UK tobacco use reflects health inequalities in relation to economic status with the most disadvantaged communities more commonly using tobacco. The impact of tobacco use on the health of individuals and communities is understood. The impact on the economy is also considerable, as the costs of treating preventable disease and the days of productivity lost caused by tobacco use are around $1.4 trillion per year, which is about 1.8% of the world’s GDP (World Health Organisation 2022). This year, WHO is also focusing on another impact of tobacco use – its impact on the environment. WHO states that annual greenhouse gas contributions by the tobacco industry and the land used for tobacco growth each year – which could be utilised for food crops or prevent deforestation – contribute to large-scale damage to the climate (World Health Organisation 2022a) INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH PROMOTION AND EDUCATION 2022, VOL.

ABSTRACT First-year students experience various stressors in their attempt to adapt to their new academic environment, which undoubtedly require them to employ effective coping styles. This study was conducted to examine psychological capital (PsyCap) and happiness as predictors of coping among university students. Using a cross-sectional survey, data were collected using standardised questionnaires from 207 students in a public university in South Africa. Data analysed using both simple and standard multiple regression showed that optimism, hope and resilience were associated with productive coping. The study also found that pleasure and meaningful engagement were significantly related to productive coping. The findings of this study underscore the need for interventions that focus on developing constructive psychological resources that will result in the use of more constructive coping strategies when faced with stressors.
