"How do you change a society's values when capitalism rewards consumption and individualism?" In this second part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Rob Noonan dive deeper into the societal drivers behind health inequality, focusing on the UK and comparing it to other nations like the Scandinavian countries. Dr. Noonan explains how the core values of a society - competition, productivity, and consumption - shape not only individual behavior but also public policy. These systemic values, deeply rooted in the current economic structure, influence everything from public health funding to welfare systems, often leaving health inequalities unaddressed. The conversation then shifts to the power of education as a tool to reshape these societal values. Dr. Noonan highlights the need for critical thinking and media literacy in the face of overwhelming misinformation, particularly as artificial intelligence and social media complicate the information landscape. He discusses the limitations of the current education system, which often reinforces capitalist values, and suggests that real change will require a bottom-up approach, driven by public support and grassroots efforts. This thought-provoking episode offers a deep examination of the social and political factors that continue to hinder progress in public health and well-being. ___________________________________________________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables, Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep, Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check our videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Now, what's the cost of that? What does that mean? What happens when kids fall behind? What happens when the teachers can't teach? And, unfortunately, we don't have a lot of these things qualified or quantified in terms of what they really mean, economically.” — Dr. Michael Osterholm, author and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy   Thanks to Our Guests Dr. Dan Filardo, a medical officer with the measles team at CDC Dr. Alexander Sloboda of the Chicago Department of Public Health Dr. Michael Osterholm, author and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy   For more information and full episode transcripts, go to Contagious Conversations.

Practical smoking cessation advice for health care providers

In this TOGA Podcast, we discuss smoking cessation in the face of smoking-related stigma and nihilism. Dr Henry Marshall, Associate Professor and Clinical Academic Fellow, UQ Thoracic Research Centre and Thoracic Physician, The Prince Charles Hospital Queensland is joined by Professor Christine Paul: Behavioural Scientist at the University of Newcastle and School of Medicine and Public Health Dr. Matt Steliga: Chair of The IASLC Tobacco Control and Smoking Cessation Committee and Surgical Oncologist at Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, Little Rock, Arkansas. The COSA Smoking Cessation in Cancer Patients position statement recommends that brief advice on smoking cessation is everyone's role, but surveys suggest that many healthcare professionals feel they are inadequately trained to conduct these conversations, and in lung cancer, perceived sensitivities around smoking-related stigma may further hamper the delivery of appropriate smoking cessation advice. Despite clear benefits of smoking cessation and the recognition by healthcare professionals that smoking cessation is part of an individualised treatment plan, smoking cessation support for cancer patients may still not be successfully integrated into patient treatment plans. This podcast provides practical advice on how to start the conversations using variations on the “Ask, Advise, Help” model and emphasising brief advice and referral that can be conducted by any healthcare professional.  The podcast also covers why continuing to check in on progress at each visit is important, that stigma-related sensitivities are actually negated by asking about quitting regularly and that tandem pharmacotherapy to combat physical withdrawal and behavioural support (e.g QUITLine counselling) is evidence-based best practice for quitting. Finally, the podcast covers some system-based changes that have had phenomenal results, with over 90% uptake of behavioural support services in both lung cancer and non-cancer cohorts, and a 68% quite rate in a lung cancer cohort, and description of a clinical trial in the Australian healthcare system with a similar intervention. Resources referred to in this podcast:13QUIT for telephone adviceQUIT online referral formClinical Oncology Society of Australia Smoking Cessation Working Group.

Episode 149: Is Asymptomatic Spread of SARS-CoV-2 a Thing? with Daniel Halperin, PhD

The Paradocs Podcast with Eric Larson

  Not only has the COVID pandemic politicized our country - it has led to a lot of misinformation and a shutdown of communication. For instance, is there really asymptomatic spread of COVID? Or just pre-symptomatic and symptomatic spread? That might seem like splitting hairs but it can have a profound effect on policy for quarantining and testing. We've talked about this before on the show as well as general discussions on COVID policy which can be found here, here, and here. 12 Myths and 12 Facts About COVID-19 If there is one certainty during this confusing pandemic it is that there are plenty of myths circulating in the media and popular culture about COVID. In fact, many of the things we think we know are wrong. Public officials get them wrong. Doctors and nurses get them wrong. The CDC and FDA get them wrong. Unfortunately, once we discover the truth, often the word doesn't get out there widely enough to change behavior, regulations, or rituals. Dan Halperin points these out in his book on 12 common myths and 12 uncommon facts about COVID-19. One great example of this is the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces. We have almost no instances of the virus transmitting in this manner and it travels almost exclusively through aerosol means. However, despite this, businesses, individuals, and regulatory agencies still act as if 'deep cleaning' and intense adherence to eliminating surface contamination will help prevent viral transmission. This is patently false but it's been over a year since we have known this and yet we are still wasting our time practicing this type of hygiene. Another example of a myth believed by many is the transfer of viral particles from asymptomatic individuals to uninfected people. There are almost no documented cases of this type of infection yet we treat asymptomatic infection almost as a common vector. It is important to note that there is pre-symptomatic spread but people who never develop any symptoms just aren't infectious. It is also true that you never know if you're about to become symptomatic but we could certainly change the way we approach close contacts if the infected person never develops any symptoms. Is the Current Environment of Scientific Debate Akin to McCarthyism? Not only has Dan Halperin written on the epidemiology of COVID but he has also weighed in on his concerns with the academic and public nature of scientific debate. He notes how one of the creators of the mRNA technology expressed some "strange views" which many did not agree with. But instead of rebutting the researcher's concerns, he was virtually eliminated from history. His contribution to the development of mRNA technology was removed from Wikipedia and he has been eliminated from all common public forums. Dr. Halperin says it feels a little like McCarthyism which happened in the 1950's over concern that the Soviet Union and communists were infiltrating American government and society. At the time, most Americans were in favor of the practice of 'blackballing' people because of the perceived threat of nuclear annihilation from our Cold War adversary. Only through the lens of time can we now look back and find the practice objectionable and he suspects the same will be the case with our current lack of public acceptance of differing opinions on COVID. Daniel Halperin is an epidemiologist and full professor at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health and the author of the book: Facing COVID without Panic: 12 common myths and 12 lesser known facts about the pandemic. show notes Episode 149: Today's show   Creeping Censorship in the Name of Public Health: Dr. Halperin's piece in the Real Clear Policy where he discusses the squelching of real discussion in science. Episode 134: Dr. Bhattacharya on the erosion of discourse in science. Episode 143: Dr. Graham and I review how were were so right about COVID back in April of 2020.

Monday on Political Rewind: The first batch of COVID-19 vaccines is headed to hundreds of distribution centers in all 50 states. Gov. Brian Kemp last week said the first round in Georgia will go to long-term care facilities and front-line medical workers. He warned residents to stay vigilant and continue to practice safety precautions like wearing a mask. Interim dean at Georgia State University's School of Public Health Dr. Rodney Lyn said the vaccine will roll out in increments. "There is a greater need than vaccine available at the moment," Lyn said. "We expect most to be vaccinated by the summer, but it will be a phased approach with health care workers and the most vulnerable vaccinated first." Reported cases of COVID-19 are surging in the state. Four of the five single-day records of newly reported coronavirus cases were reported since Dec. 4. Our panel of experts discusses what to expect as the vaccine arrives in Georgia.
