New systematic review of factors associated with #EcoAnxiety in children and young people.

Young women reported higher levels of eco-anxiety.

Media exposure and perceived government inaction were consistent factors related to eco-anxiety.

Apparently I'm vitamin D deficient, probably not surprising living in Scotland with a fish allergy. Disappointed the doctor didn't prescribe a holiday somewhere sunny. Please send some ☀️☀️☀️.

DHS surveys—essential to global health infrastructure—make you describe a project before you can download data.

My students are reporting nobody is responding anymore.

1. If you have DHS data downloaded, hang on to it!
2. Has anyone started consolidating these in case they disappear completely?
