In an era of widespread online socializing, little is known about the conditions that shape adolescent social well-being, a key aspect of their overall well-being. Using a socioecological approach, this study examines the social well-being (SoWB) of Canadian adolescents and its individual, household, and living area correlates. SoWB is conceptualized as an individual-level outcome reflecting adolescents' appraisal of their social connections and how these relate to their overall well-being. High SoWB is operationalized as the intersection of strong community belonging and high life satisfaction. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2015–2020; n = 23,980) were analyzed for adolescents aged 12–17. Environmental measures were developed using 2016 Census data to capture living area differences based on population density, housing characteristics, and transportation modes, as well as the proportion of youth in local populations. Individual data and environmental data were linked using geographic identifiers. Results showed that adolescents with higher odds of high SoWB were significantly more likely to report better general and mental health, be younger, live in larger households, and belong to middle- or high-income groups. Living area characteristics were also significantly associated with SoWB: adolescents living in Atlantic Canada, in rural or small-town areas with weak metropolitan influence, and in youth-dense areas had higher odds of high SoWB, even after adjusting for individual and household factors.

在一个网络社交广泛传播的时代，人们对影响青少年社会福祉的条件知之甚少，而社会福祉是青少年整体福祉的一个关键方面。使用社会生态学方法，本研究考察了加拿大青少年的社会福祉（SoWB）及其个人，家庭和生活区域相关因素。SoWB的概念是个体层面的结果，反映了青少年对其社会关系的评价以及这些关系如何与他们的整体福祉相关。高SoWB是强烈的社区归属感和高生活满意度的交集。分析了加拿大社区卫生调查（2015-2020;n = 23,980）中12-17岁青少年的数据。利用2016年人口普查数据制定了环境措施，以捕捉基于人口密度、住房特征、交通方式以及青年在当地人口中所占比例的居住面积差异。使用地理标识符将个人数据和环境数据联系起来。结果显示，高SoWB发生率较高的青少年更有可能报告更好的一般和心理健康，更年轻，生活在更大的家庭中，属于中等或高收入群体。生活区域特征也与SoWB显著相关：即使在调整了个人和家庭因素之后，生活在加拿大大西洋地区、农村或大都市影响较弱的小城镇地区以及青年密集地区的青少年也有更高的高SoWB几率。

Climate change is now recognised as a global public health emergency, characterised by increasing frequency and severity of climate hazards worldwide. There is limited evidence on the proportion of the population that has directly experienced climate events, how this varies between countries, and the subsequent micro (focused on oneself) and macro (focused on wider society) perceived impact on health.

We conducted nationally representative surveys of 4378 individuals in Australia and the United Kingdom in February 2025. Participants reported climate event experiences over five years, micro and macro perceived health threats, and sociodemographic characteristics. Logistic regression models estimated the likelihood of perceiving climate change as a health threat based on experiences of climate events, while population attributable fractions examined the proportion of health concerns cases attributable to specific climate events.

Results revealed significant cross-national differences: 59% of Australian respondents experienced climate events within five years versus 29% in the UK. Heatwaves were the most common experience in both countries and showed the strongest association with perceived health threats to ‘my health’, particularly among Australians (odds ratio: 1.74, 95% CIs: 1.46–2.07). Climate event experiences accounted for 23–35% of perceived climate health threats.

Our findings demonstrate that experiencing climate events elevates health threat perceptions across contrasting geographical contexts. Mental health burden is likely to increase as climate-related events—including heatwaves, wildfires, and floods—become more frequent and severe due to accelerating global heating. This underscores an urgent need for climate change mitigation alongside targeted mental health interventions addressing climate-related psychological impacts.

气候变化现已被确认为全球突发公共卫生事件，其特点是全球气候灾害的频率和严重程度日益增加。关于直接经历过气候事件的人口比例、各国之间的差异以及随后的微观（关注个人）和宏观（关注更广泛的社会）对健康的感知影响，证据有限。我们于2025年2月在澳大利亚和英国对4378人进行了具有全国代表性的调查。参与者报告了五年来的气候事件经历、感知到的微观和宏观健康威胁以及社会人口特征。逻辑回归模型根据气候事件的经验估计了将气候变化视为健康威胁的可能性，而人口归因分数则检查了可归因于特定气候事件的健康问题病例的比例。结果显示了显著的跨国差异：59%的澳大利亚受访者在五年内经历过气候事件，而英国的这一比例为29%。热浪在这两个国家都是最常见的经历，并且与感知到的“我的健康”的健康威胁有着最强烈的联系，尤其是在澳大利亚人中（优势比：1.74,95% ci: 1.46-2.07）。气候事件经历占感知到的气候健康威胁的23-35%。我们的研究结果表明，在不同的地理背景下，经历气候事件会提高人们对健康威胁的看法。由于全球变暖的加速，与气候相关的事件——包括热浪、野火和洪水——变得更加频繁和严重，心理健康负担可能会增加。这突出表明，迫切需要减缓气候变化，同时采取有针对性的心理健康干预措施，解决与气候相关的心理影响。

Climate change is a threat to the health and wellbeing of adolescents. Many adolescents express concern, worry, and anxiety about climate change. Yet, how adolescents are coping with their thoughts and feelings about climate change is not well understood. The objective of this research was to explore the psychometric properties of an Adapted Climate Change Coping Scale (CCCS-A) in a non-probabilistic sample of approximately 800 Canadian adolescents. Exploratory factor analysis was utilized. Internal reliability was assessed, and convergent validity was examined through analysis of correlations with related constructs. Correlations with wellbeing and mental health measures were also explored. The results indicated that four dimensions of coping with thoughts and feelings about climate change (de-emphasizing, distracting, problem-focused coping, and meaning-focused coping) were operationalized through a scale with 16-items. This extends prior scales in that it includes both measures of de-emphasizing and distracting coping within a single survey tool. Evidence of construct validity was found, and the internal reliability of subscales were good (ω ranged from 0.79 to 0.88). The sub-scales showed evidence of convergent validity. Additionally, all coping dimensions were positively associated with wellbeing, while associations with mental health problems were mixed across coping dimensions. The CCCS-A is a survey tool with demonstrated validity and reliability that captures a range of coping strategies adolescents use in response to climate change. This addresses a critical gap in climate change and mental wellbeing research by presenting a validated tool to assess adolescent climate change coping mechanisms.

气候变化对青少年的健康和福祉构成威胁。许多青少年对气候变化表示关注、担忧和焦虑。然而，青少年是如何处理他们对气候变化的想法和感受的，还没有得到很好的理解。本研究的目的是探讨适应气候变化应对量表（CCCS-A）在约800名加拿大青少年的非概率样本中的心理测量特性。采用探索性因子分析。评估了内部信度，并通过分析与相关构念的相关性来检验收敛效度。还探讨了与幸福和心理健康指标的相关性。结果表明，通过一个16项的量表，对应对气候变化思想和感受的四个维度（弱化、分散、问题聚焦和意义聚焦）进行了操作。这扩展了先前的尺度，因为它包括了在单一调查工具中减少强调和分散注意力的应对措施。结构效度的证据被发现，并且子量表的内部信度良好（ω范围为0.79 ~ 0.88）。量表具有趋同效度。此外，所有应对维度都与幸福感呈正相关，而与心理健康问题的关联在应对维度中是混合的。CCCS-A是一项调查工具，已证明其有效性和可靠性，它记录了青少年为应对气候变化而使用的一系列应对策略。该研究通过提供一种有效的工具来评估青少年应对气候变化的机制，解决了气候变化和心理健康研究中的一个关键空白。

In the context of enforced marginality within the UK asylum system, exploring informal and place-based forms of wellbeing is significant. Drawing on two sensory ethnographies in urban allotments and a creative participatory project conducted in the city, this article uses non-representational theory (NRT) as a lens to explore asylum “seekers” and “refugees” therapeutic landscape experiences in Manchester, England. The contribution of NRT to the study of therapeutic landscape experiences in recent years has recognised the active, embodied, affective and performative nature of the place-wellbeing nexus. This has allowed for an exploration of the relationship beyond neoliberal, individualistic and biomedical frameworks of health and wellbeing. Through vignettes the article illuminates where participants, against a backdrop of marginalisation and oppression, carved out space and time to engage in different embodied practices that alongside materiality, time and space, power and positionality, sensory experience and incorporeality created atmospheres in flux and opened the body to be positively affected. The findings not only have implications for how we define wellbeing in therapeutic landscape research conducted with socially excluded groups, but using NRT as a lens allows us to consider what else is happening in a therapeutic landscape experience, including the potential for disrupting forms of Othering.

在英国庇护制度强制边缘化的背景下，探索非正式和基于地点的福利形式具有重要意义。本文利用城市分配中的两种感官人种学和在城市中进行的创造性参与性项目，以非代表性理论（NRT）为视角，探索英国曼彻斯特的庇护“寻求者”和“难民”治疗性景观体验。近年来，NRT对治疗性景观体验研究的贡献已经认识到场所-幸福感联系的积极、具体化、情感和表演性质。这使得探索超越新自由主义、个人主义和生物医学框架的健康和福祉的关系成为可能。通过小插曲，文章阐明了参与者在边缘化和压迫的背景下，在空间和时间上进行不同的具体化实践，与物质性、时间和空间、权力和位置性、感官体验和非物质性一起创造了不断变化的氛围，并打开了身体，使其受到积极的影响。这些发现不仅对我们如何在与社会排斥群体进行的治疗性景观研究中定义健康有影响，而且使用NRT作为透镜使我们能够考虑在治疗性景观体验中还发生了什么，包括破坏其他形式的可能性。

This study examines features associated with runner sentiment, or feelings, based on qualitative narratives in the form of Strava social media posts among 72 men and 65 women in Metropolitan Vancouver, Canada. Posts were drawn from an Open Authorization (OAuth) portal recruiting runners who used Strava, a popular fitness-tracking social media platform. First, sentiment analysis detected the emotional polarity of posts along a spectrum between -1 to +1, indicating extreme negativity and extreme positivity, respectively. Then, a content analysis of highly positive (0.8 to 1) and negative (-1 to -0.7) posts was conducted to determine the topics associated with extreme runner sentiment. The content analysis resulted in six categories and 26 sub-categories. The categories, in order of frequency, were (1) psychological aspects, (2) interpersonal experience, (3) weather, (4) surroundings, (5) physical experience, and (6) path. Results from this study demonstrate the nuanced personal characteristics influencing runner preferences and experiences. Findings provide insight into factors that may promote or inhibit wellbeing during runs by using direct accounts from Strava runner narratives, a population primarily only studied through quantitative mapping.

这项研究基于加拿大温哥华大都会72名男性和65名女性在Strava社交媒体上发布的定性叙述，研究了与跑步者情绪或感受相关的特征。帖子来自一个开放授权（OAuth）门户网站，招募使用流行的健身跟踪社交媒体平台Strava的跑步者。首先，情绪分析检测到帖子的情绪极性在-1到+1之间，分别表示极端消极和极端积极。然后，对高度积极（0.8到1）和消极（-1到-0.7）的帖子进行内容分析，以确定与极端跑步者情绪相关的话题。内容分析分为6大类和26个子类。这些类别，按频率顺序依次为(1)心理方面，(2)人际体验，(3)天气，(4)环境，(5)身体体验，(6)路径。这项研究的结果表明，细微的个人特征会影响跑步者的偏好和体验。通过使用Strava跑步者叙述的直接描述，研究结果提供了对可能促进或抑制跑步过程中健康的因素的深入了解，Strava跑步者主要通过定量映射研究。

Recent U.S. health system efforts to address social drivers and determinants of health include housing, but detailed information about housing initiatives involving health systems is not well documented. This narrative review based on a systematic search of news media articles identified and characterized Michigan housing initiatives involving health systems between January 2015 and December 2024. Proquest, NewsBank, and Google News database searches for magazine, newspaper, and web-only articles were performed in January 2025. Housing initiative (initiative type, duration, cost; housing type, benefits, location), health system (type, status, role), and other partner characteristics were documented and synthesized. Of the 1037 records identified, 27 health systems engaged in 36 housing initiatives that met inclusion criteria. Nonprofit, for-profit, and government health systems engaged in 12 housing initiative types such as housing service referral, on-site healthcare services, home repairs and modifications, rental assistance provision, and new affordable housing development. Initiatives addressed a variety of resident populations and were supported by modest grants and awards ($5k-$60k) to multimillion-dollar development projects. Example health system partners were community organizations, foundations, developers, and government entities. Programs and policies targeting housing would benefit from a more systematic understanding of health system engagement with housing efforts. Development of best practices, guidelines, and evaluation strategies and metrics; quantifying return on investment; and evaluating improvements to patient and population health resulting from these housing initiatives are needed to inform housing and health research, practice, and policy.

最近，美国卫生系统在解决健康的社会驱动因素和决定因素方面的努力包括住房，但涉及卫生系统的住房倡议的详细信息没有很好的记录。本文基于对2015年1月至2024年12月期间涉及卫生系统的密歇根州住房倡议的新闻媒体文章的系统搜索，进行了叙述性回顾。2025年1月，Proquest、NewsBank和b谷歌News数据库对杂志、报纸和仅限网络的文章进行了搜索。住房倡议（倡议类型、持续时间、成本；住房类型、利益、位置）、卫生系统（类型、地位、角色）和其他合作伙伴特征被记录和综合。在确定的1037份记录中，27个卫生系统参与了36项符合纳入标准的住房倡议。非营利性、营利性和政府卫生系统参与了12种住房倡议类型，如住房服务推荐、现场医疗服务、房屋维修和改造、租赁援助提供和新的经济适用房开发。这些举措针对的是各种各样的常住人口，并得到了小额赠款和奖金（5000 - 6万美元）对数百万美元发展项目的支持。卫生系统合作伙伴的例子包括社区组织、基金会、开发商和政府实体。以住房为目标的项目和政策将受益于对卫生系统参与住房工作的更系统的理解。制定最佳做法、指导方针、评估战略和指标；投资回报率量化；需要评估这些住房举措对患者和人口健康的改善，以便为住房和健康研究、实践和政策提供信息。

The rise of hybrid work has fundamentally altered how employees experience office spaces, disrupting established patterns of place-making. To identify and quantify the relative importance of key factors shaping hybrid workers' sense of place in office environments, this study employs machine learning with SHAP analysis. Based on survey data from 242 German hybrid workers, four machine learning models were compared, with the Lasso model achieving the best performance (accuracy = 0.80, AUC = 0.86). SHAP analysis identifies office environment satisfaction (SHAP value = 0.288) as the dominant factor, more than three times as influential as conscientiousness (0.087), the second-ranked factor. Additional key influential factors encompass workspace configuration (fixed desk availability, office sharing type), personality traits (neuroticism), office work percentage, and boundary management (life-to-work segmentation/integration). The findings suggest that organizations should prioritize optimizing physical office environments to enhance hybrid workers' sense of place.

混合工作的兴起从根本上改变了员工对办公空间的体验，打破了既定的办公空间模式。为了确定和量化影响混合员工在办公环境中场所感的关键因素的相对重要性，本研究采用了机器学习和SHAP分析。基于242名德国混血工人的调查数据，对四种机器学习模型进行了比较，Lasso模型表现最佳（准确率= 0.80,AUC = 0.86）。SHAP分析发现，办公环境满意度（SHAP值= 0.288）是主导因素，其影响力是排名第二的尽责性（0.087）的三倍多。其他关键影响因素包括工作空间配置（固定办公桌可用性、办公室共享类型）、个性特征（神经质）、办公室工作百分比和边界管理（从生活到工作的分割/整合）。研究结果表明，组织应该优先优化物理办公环境，以增强混合员工的场所感。

National minorities are ageing, and their linguistic and cultural rights are becoming an urgency for local policies. This paper examines the policy concept of language-friendliness in the context of national-minority older people. An analysis is conducted on the experiences of Finnish-speaking older people regarding their relationship with city governance communication and citizen policies in the second-largest city in Sweden. Gothenburg, part of the Finnish-language administrative area along with 65 other Swedish municipalities, was the first Swedish city to join the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Age-friendly Cities and Communities (AFCC) network in 2016. Accordingly, the Age-Friendly Gothenburg Policy for 2016–2024 set out goals to make the city age-appropriate in the six domains identified by WHO: communication and information, health services, outdoor spaces, housing, transportation, as well as social participation and inclusion. These domains were critically examined through the lenses of minority-language community with a mixed-method design: first, an online questionnaire with open-ended responses (N = 27) in parallel to a majority-directed survey (N = 817), second, focus group interviews with Finnish-speaking representatives of the national minority at retirement age (N = 18), and, third, in-depth interviews with administrative area employees (N = 3). The results indicate that there are structural obstacles for applying linguistically and culturally responsive services for the older people. Based on the thematic analysis, language-friendliness is conceptualized as a linguistically congruent cross-sectoral policy framework. Finally, some methodological issues specific of national-minority older people are raised.

少数民族正在老龄化，他们的语言和文化权利正成为地方政策的当务之急。本文探讨了少数民族老年人语言友好的政策理念。本文分析了瑞典第二大城市讲芬兰语的老年人与城市治理、沟通和公民政策的关系。哥德堡是芬兰语行政区的一部分，与其他65个瑞典城市一起，是2016年第一个加入世界卫生组织（世卫组织）老年友好城市和社区（AFCC）网络的瑞典城市。因此，《2016-2024年哥德堡老年友好政策》制定了在世卫组织确定的六个领域使城市符合年龄的目标：通信和信息、卫生服务、户外空间、住房、交通以及社会参与和包容。这些领域通过少数民族语言社区的镜头进行了严格的检查，采用混合方法设计：首先，一份开放式在线问卷（N = 27）与多数人主导的调查（N = 817）并行，第二，对退休年龄的少数民族讲芬兰语的代表进行焦点小组访谈（N = 18），第三，对行政部门员工进行深度访谈（N = 3）。结果表明，在为老年人提供语言和文化响应服务方面存在结构性障碍。在主题分析的基础上，语言友好被定义为语言上一致的跨部门政策框架。最后，提出了少数民族老年人的研究方法问题。

Urban green spaces (UGS) are vital for promoting public health and social well-being, yet research on their specific impact on social interaction of the elderly (SIE) remains inadequate, particularly concerning underlying mechanisms and moderating factors. This study systematically reviews the mechanisms by which the characteristics of urban green spaces influence social interactions among the elderly and to identify the moderating factors, thereby providing a scientific basis for the planning and design of urban green spaces. Following PRISMA guidelines, 78 articles from the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar (2015–2025) were included. The results indicate the relationship between UGS and SIE. The study identifies six key characteristics of UGS—Nature and Environment, Accessibility and Physical Layout, Facilities and Functions, Safety and Maintenance, Society and Culture, and Perception and Aesthetics—that significantly influence SIE. These characteristics facilitate social interaction through four main pathways: providing platforms for social engagement, optimizing spatial layouts, provide psychological benefits and enhancing life satisfaction, and ensuring equitable access. Furthermore, sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, health status, and living environment moderate this relationship. We proposes a cyclical "UGS–SIE" model, illustrating the dynamic process from motivation and attendance to interaction and feedback. As the first systematic review on this topic, our findings highlight the critical role of UGS in fostering elderly social health and offer a theoretical foundation for future research and age-friendly urban planning.

城市绿地对促进公众健康和社会福祉至关重要，但对其对老年人社会互动的具体影响的研究仍然不足，特别是关于其潜在机制和调节因素的研究。本研究系统回顾了城市绿地特征对老年人社会交往的影响机制，并找出了调节因素，从而为城市绿地的规划设计提供科学依据。按照PRISMA的指导方针，我们收录了来自Web of Science、Scopus和谷歌Scholar（2015-2025）的78篇文章。结果表明了UGS与SIE之间的关系。该研究确定了六大关键特征，即自然与环境、可达性与物理布局、设施与功能、安全与维护、社会与文化、感知与美学，这些特征显著影响着社会价值。这些特征通过四个主要途径促进社会互动：提供社会参与平台，优化空间布局，提供心理利益和提高生活满意度，确保公平获取。此外，年龄、性别、健康状况和生活环境等社会人口因素也会调节这种关系。我们提出了一个周期性的“UGS-SIE”模型，说明了从动机和出席到互动和反馈的动态过程。作为对这一主题的首次系统综述，我们的研究结果强调了UGS在促进老年人社会健康方面的重要作用，并为未来的研究和老年人友好型城市规划提供了理论基础。

Disabled children have the legal right to play, yet often face discrimination, stigmatisation, and exclusion in public parks, impacting their wellbeing and that of their families. Using qualitative analysis and guided by a rights-based approach, we interviewed 17 children and their families in Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ) about their park experiences. Three themes were developed illustrating how space, place and people matter when choosing whether to play: Spaces can enable interconnected Families, Place in Society and Environmental Safety and Accessibility. A NZ model of wellbeing (Te Pae Māhutonga model) was used to discuss the findings and highlight how access to play intersects with wellbeing elements of cultural identity, design, equity, and self-determination. Disabled children and their families continue to face significant physical and social barriers, often requiring extra effort to access parks. As microcosms of society, parks reflect broader issues of inclusion, ableism, and exclusion. Our research provides rich, transferable insights into the lived experiences of disabled children and families in NZ. Safe, inclusive play spaces are important for wellbeing, and policymakers must strengthen efforts to ensure accessibility for all.

残疾儿童拥有玩耍的合法权利，但在公园里却经常面临歧视、侮辱和排斥，影响了他们及其家人的福祉。我们采用定性分析方法，并以基于权利的方法为指导，采访了新西兰奥特罗阿的17名儿童及其家庭，了解他们的公园体验。三个主题阐述了在选择是否玩游戏时，空间、地点和人是如何起作用的：空间可以使家庭相互联系、社会场所、环境安全和可达性。我们使用了一个新西兰的幸福模型（Te Pae Māhutonga模型）来讨论研究结果，并强调了玩耍的机会如何与文化认同、设计、公平和自决等幸福元素相交叉。残疾儿童及其家庭继续面临严重的身体和社会障碍，往往需要额外的努力才能进入公园。作为社会的缩影，公园反映了包容、残疾歧视和排斥等更广泛的问题。我们的研究为新西兰残疾儿童和家庭的生活经验提供了丰富的、可转移的见解。安全、包容的游戏空间对福祉至关重要，政策制定者必须加强努力，确保所有人都能获得游戏空间。
