“…According to Springer et al, HEPs play a role in building skills, knowledge, and positive attitudes of individuals relating to health (Springer, Evans, Ortuño, Salvo, & Varela Arevalo, 2017). This conclusion is similar to that of a study conducted by Coe and de Beyer, who argue that HEPs provide individuals with more information concerning mental, physical, emotional, and social health, besides playing a key role in motivating individuals to not only improve, but also maintain their health, prevent disease, and reduce risky behaviors (Coe & de Beyer, 2014).…”

Within low- and middle-income countries, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) falls among the main causes of adult morbidity and mortality. In order to achieve epidemic control, targeted testing with the aim of identifying those unaware of their infection with HIV remains the first step in a series of efforts that include constant extension of HIV treatment programs, as well as other prevention interventions. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a new intervention that is capable of increasing the uptake of HIV-testing services (HTS) within traditionally hard-to-reach populations, such as men. We sought to review the literature on factors contributing to male aversion of HTS, health education for men and their engagement in health services, and the rate of HIVST acceptability among men. We reveal poor health-seeking behavior as the underlying factor contributing to poor uptake of HTS by men. Furthermore, our review reveals that health education programs have been recommended to address poor health-seeking behavior and improve HTS uptake among men. Studies reported high acceptability of HIVST among men. We conclude by proposing a framework to help improve men’s engagement in health services in general.

Summary Purpose It is unclear if older adults' preventive health care utilization is associated with better health in China, as the elderly population and prevalence of chronic disease have escalated. Methods Applying the Donabedian's model for evaluating quality of health care, we analyzed data from the 2012 and 2014 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey with 5304 older adults 65 years old and above. The study used propensity score matching to decrease selection bias on preventive care utilization. Preventive care utilization was defined as the use of annual physical examination at least once a year among older adults. Three ordered logistic regression models were performed to evaluate preventive care utilization and three health‐related measurements of current health status, overall health status improvement in the past 12 months, and life satisfaction, controlling for socioeconomic, demographic, and biological factors. Results Older adults who used preventive care reported better health status, overall health status improvement in the past 12 months, and life satisfaction (adjusted odds ratios [AORs] = 1.24, 1.20, 1.30, respectively; all Ps < 0.01), compared with participants who did not use preventive care. Conclusion The research findings suggest that the Chinese central government should continue to enhance the role of preventive care services with further reforms in order to improve older adults' health and life conditions.

“…Then, a study by Rahmawati 15 in 2007 stated that mothers with young children exhibited better improvements on knowledge and behavior after being taught using audiovisual media than conventional media (e.g., modules). Another study by Sweeney 16 in 2012 also stated that technology presents an ideal means for healthcare Centrees to improve public health status. Thus, healthcare officers should be familiar in using technology to promote health and better disperse health information.…”
