The study aims to evaluate the self-efficacy of medical college students in handling their academic workloads, clinical learning, and problem-solving situations. Determining students’ self-efficacy may expose critical gaps that impact their learning problems, resilience, and readiness for clinical practice. Intervention and support for medical educational institution may be improved based on the findings of the study.

The present study aims to examine the factors influencing health system resilience in India, highlighting the response and management during crises without disrupting the essential and routine health care. With regard to this, the study will explore the influencing factors to resilience, how to strengthen that and coping mechanisms adapted during public health emergencies.

The present study aims to evaluate the available mobile apps for supporting elderly care. A PCC framework was used to systematically search the mobile apps available on android and apple store. Mobile apps that are freely available on these two platforms with overall rating of 4 and above, specifically designed for elderly (age group 60 & above) in English or Hindi languages, and developed in India will be included in the present study. The systematically searched keywords will be used for identifying the apps, and the evaluation of the apps will be done by extracting the data of required variables from all the apps in an excel sheet.

This scoping review aims to map the existing evidence available on digital interventions related to diet and/or physical activity targeting metabolic syndrome (MetS) in countries of Southeast Asia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The evidence will be used to document and compare government-led or institutional initiatives promoting healthy diet and physical activity. The study will explore both digital and non-digital programs for the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in these regions.

NCDs present a significant health challenge globally, particularly in urban slums where various environmental factors contribute to poor health. Existing evidence on digital interventions targeting modifiable risk factors in Indian populations is limited, with few yielding positive outcomes, and insufficient data in urban slum settings. Similarly, the WHO PEN Disease Interventions for Primary Health Care in Low-Resource Settings shows evidence of improving NCD outcomes worldwide. Yet, its effectiveness and adaptability in India remain under-explored. Consequently, there is a notable gap in comparative studies evaluating the impact of digital interventions versus the WHO PEN approach in resource-limited Indian contexts.

We propose a quasi-experimental study aiming to assess the factors influencing digital interventions and the WHO PEN approach in NCD prevention and control. This study will compare the effectiveness of digital interventions against the WHO-PEN approach within resource-limited settings. The study will evaluate the feasibility and impact of both. This research proposal combines comparative analysis, tailored intervention design, and comprehensive methodology, and presents innovative strategies for addressing NCDs in resource- limited urban slums in India. The multi-site, mixed-method quasi-experimental study will collaborate with primary healthcare facilities in resource-limited settings to assess changes in NCD risk factors, treatment adherence, patient satisfaction, and healthcare utilization over one year. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of digital interventions over WHO-PEN, highlighting their potential to improve healthcare delivery, and patient outcomes, and alleviate NCD burden in resource-constrained environments.

The scoping review would contribute to a thorough understanding of the health difficulties that the North-East faces and assist guide public health actions and policies that are specifically designed to address these problems. In order to determine and examine the social, economic, and environmental elements that influence public health outcomes in the Northeast, this issue would entail a scoping evaluation of the body of existing literature. Disparities in health outcomes pertaining to housing, work, education, income, and access to healthcare services could be the main focus of the review. It might also investigate how these disparities impact other populations, including children, the elderly, rural residents, and marginalized communities.

With the arising need of public health, this study appropriately highlights the importance for the same especially mapping the distribution of courses across the Global South being very variable. Global South being majorly a low to medium income region must improve the training initiatives for development of affordable and accessible public health workforce. Institutions shall try to adhere and preach with unique competencies stated by WHO and CDC for a competent workforce. The goal of achieving a well prepared and skilled professional for fulfilling the WHO’s Health for all motto is possible only by bridging all the socio-economical and cultural differences prevalent in the society.

The research project evaluates the impact of UJJWALA Initative in the hilly regions of Uttarakhand. It aims to address disparities related to access to education, lifelong learning and employment opportunities to advance social, economic and health equity.

Public Health Ki Rasoi project aims to empower individuals using video multimedia to make informed dietary choices by blending nutrition science with cultural and regional practices to promote informed dietary choices, lifestyle modification and NCD awareness. The study further assess the effectiveness, accessability and user statisfaction of these informative videos.

The study identify the causes of social media addiction among individuals living in the urban slums of Delhi through unstructured interviews and self-administered questionnaires.
