Background : Critically testing and integrating theoretical models can aid health promotion research and intervention planning. This study aimed to critically compare and integrate Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Integrated-Change Model (ICM) for explaining physical activity behaviour. Methods : A dataset was used with Dutch adults, consisting ...

The death toll of the current COVID-19 pandemic is strongly biased toward the elderly. COVID-19 case fatality rate (CFR) increases with age exponentially, its doubling time being about 7 years, irrespective of countries and epidemic stages. The same age-dependent mortality pattern known as the Gompertz law is featured by the total mortality and its...

Health Research Policy and Systems
BackgroundTranslating research evidence into practice is challenging and, to date, there are relatively few public health interventions that have been effectively and cost-effectively implemented and delivered at scale. Theories, models and frameworks (herein termed ‘frameworks’) have been used in implementation science to describe, guide and expla...

Cet article propose de reprendre certains aspects du débat épistémologique et méthodologique sur l’économie à la lumière d’une description pragmatique, inspirée de la sociologie des sciences, de la manière dont « ça fonctionne ». Plus précisément de : i) la façon dont l’économie s’insère dans le débat politique et manifeste ainsi son caractère « pe...

Introduction: Well-child Care is the provision of preventative health care services for children and their families. The approach, however, to the universal provision of those services is contentious. Methods: We undertook a realist synthesis to enhance understanding of the theoretical mechanisms driving Well-child Care by searching for published a...

Clinical Interventions in Aging
Background: Historically, influential models and theories of health behavior employed in aging research view human behavior as determined by conscious processes that involve intentional motives and beliefs. We examine the evolution, strengths, and weaknesses of this approach; then offer a contemporary definition of the mind, provide support for it,...

The number of older people with limitations of activities of daily living in developing countries is predicted to increase by a factor of four between 2015 and 2050. One possibility to overcome such limitations is to promote the use of assistive technologies (ATs) in the aging population. Despite evident benefits of ATs in this context, the use rat...

Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease have a significant impact on quality of life. Despite this, many non-motor symptoms remain unreported by patients and consequently untreated. This study explored barriers to help-seeking using two theoretical frameworks, the Common Sense Model of illness perception and Theoretical Domains Framework. A total...

The paper reports a review of studies on the secondary-tertiary transition in mathematics. With an interest in the contribution of theories, it intends to explore what insights empirical studies using new theoretical lenses have added. While there is a move towards socio-cultural theorizing, some dimensions pertaining to issues of social (re)produc...
