🚀 Excited to share our recent work showcased at #WAPOR24 by Miao Feng, Haoyu Shi, and Simon Page in Seoul, South Korea last week! 1️⃣ Flavored Combustible Tobacco Product Initiation in Two Longitudinal Cohorts of Youth in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study: Our study reveals that social media significantly increases youth exposure to flavored tobacco promotions. E-cigarette use also lowers barriers to nicotine addiction, making flavors less crucial for initiating tobacco use. This underscores the need for more research on social media's role in promoting tobacco among youth. 2️⃣ Leveraging Social Media Data to Examine Public Abortion Discourse - A Case Study Using the General Social Media Archive: We found platform-specific trends: Facebook leans pro-life, Twitter leans pro-choice, and Instagram is mixed. Pro-life content shows greater volume and engagement, highlighting the organized nature of pro-life advocacy online. This research emphasizes the importance of social media in shaping public opinion on contentious issues like abortion. 3️⃣ Analyzing U.S. E-cigarette Prevention Campaigns on TikTok (2020-2023): Despite the limited presence of e-cigarette prevention campaigns on TikTok, their high engagement levels indicate a significant potential for impact. Amplifying these efforts could profoundly influence youth behavior on this popular platform. 📊 Our findings highlight the crucial role of social media in public health and opinion dynamics.

Disappointed by the expected proposal to ban under-16s from social media. I really don't think it's the answer, it's not even part of the solution. Banning drugs doesn't prevent people taking them. Upping the age for smoking doesn't stop younger people smoking. While it might work for a few, for the many it makes an industry more appealing to an age-group pre-disposed to curiosity, a wish to appear older and a need to challenge boundaries. Why not... 👍 Empower our children by educating them on self-esteem like Dove's latest Self Esteem Project? 👍 Equip our children (and parents/carers) with the skills to navigate the digital world like the NSPCC's 'Share Aware' campaign? 👍 Hold companies like Meta accountable for unethical practises such as the online censorship of female reproductive health content like Daye, censHERship, FutureFemHealth and so many others. Can't help but think this is a cheap shot and a bid to secure positive headlines in the run up to the next election.... Am I missing something? #SocialMedia #MentalHeatlh #Health #ChildrensHealth #HealthAndWellness #SelfEsteem

what an amazing evening alongside with Dorian(he/him) and Kaiser(they/them) to speak on Radical Joy and Activism work. our diverse background and experience really helped a lot of them just now and it was a meaningful participation for us the panelists also for all the participants. am shocked that quite a number of people and community members came. a lot of questions and we answered literally everything. this trio is one of the best eventho I can't stop laughing since Dorian entering the hall. D.E.I Each of our community voices needed to be heard. whether it is practical online and offline, quantitative, qualitative or by story telling. every lived experience/struggles matters. in that way, we can come out with a positive Activism work-related plus a holistic approach on intersectional feminist principles, feminist internet principles and I always keep reminding myself and all that it is an open source working document where all of us can modify, edit and change based on our objectives and aims of our Activism and advocacy works. and yes I have shared one of the most basic thing, think like this way ya, FOR A PLANT TO GROW UNTIL MATURITY ACHIEVED AND FOR THE BUD TO BECOME FLOWER needs time and it is ever changing despite of climate change/weather and so do Radical Joy means to me in my daily life. eg for Durian lovers, we may need to wait for 15-20 years for the first flowering bud to show up and it may need to face so many challenges by the mother nature until a drop of Musang King is ready to be served. relate it then you are smart! damn still have something to share, I do promote on our 3 projects funded by NIH US to all of them and also my professional service as consultant. I believe that the intersectionality and gender lens are very crucial to fill the Gap. in Malaysia, we are lacking on SRH experts, endriconologist for HRT and even GACS facilities and it is my big hope that before I finished my contract next year as CCM, I wanted to see GACS is included under HIV preventive methods. in this way, we can reach the unreachable and to advocate more on ICD-11. WE ARE BORN THIS WAY and we are genuine in nature. that's all I have in mind, very sleepy Goodnight Belle Razali

📚Were you educated on menstrual health in the EU? Was it at school or at home?🇪🇺 🇭🇺Hungary's parental-focused sexual education approach raises questions, while civil initiatives like Lányból Nővé and Nemluxustáska bridge gaps but face hurdles. Spain, a trailblazer, introduces paid menstrual leave, breaks menstrual stigma, and empowers regions for comprehensive education. 🩸Will Hungary's civil efforts be enough in the face of governmental limitations? Can Spain's progressive model inspire EU-wide change? Read our article for an in-depth look at the spectrum of menstrual health approaches in the EU.

International Day of Action for Women’s Health - May 28, 2024 Today, on May 28th, we join organizations and activists worldwide in recognizing the International Day of Action for Women’s Health. This day is dedicated to promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights and justice (SRHRJ) for all. We advocate for inclusive, accessible, and available SRH information and services for everyone. Amidst the challenges we face globally, it is vital to ensure that everyone can make decisions about their own bodies and futures, free from coercion and discrimination. We call on global leaders to commit to a future where the SRHR of women, girls, and gender-diverse people are fulfilled, protected, and promoted. This day also coincides with Menstrual Hygiene Day, highlighting the importance of menstrual health and hygiene as a crucial aspect of women's health and well-being. Join us in advocating for the health, rights, and dignity of all individuals. #internationaldayofactionforwomenshealth #MenstrualHygieneDay

Last week at the UN, we joined a conversation convened by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to discuss progress on women’s sexual and reproductive agency in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Onikepe Owolabi, our Director of International Research, spoke about our latest research approaches, highlighting the crucial role of person-centered data in advancing sexual & reproductive health outcomes for all people. For example, accounting for women’s expressed desires can unmask nuanced reasons for not using a contraceptive method. Intent, choice and satisfaction become important factors in understanding and supporting people’s health behaviors. Inclusive, accurate representations of people’s lived experiences are key to empowering people to define their well-being and achieve bodily autonomy.
