The project “Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Public Health Programs Worldwide” intends to systematically map public health education programs worldwide in an attempt to find out how the programs are geographically distributed and developed over time. The project will consider several factors that will determine program characteristics, including its level, type, period of development, and the year of establishment. Competency standards, including curricula competencies, will be evaluated.

This study seeks to examine the availability and quality of information about public health education programs that can be accessed by the general public through institutional websites, with particular emphasis on the way institutions convey critical information about their programs to potential students. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study examines whether institutions provide adequate information in areas such as admission criteria, curricula, program components, faculty, research opportunities, funding sources, capacity, and career prospects, among others, as well as qualitative assessment of how well this information is provided.

The study will summarise the epidemiological burden of diabetes mellitus and hypertension and different dietary guidelines available to address them in India. The endeavour intends to highlight the need for a holistic, human-centred, technology-enabled approach to reduce the implications of the burden of metabolic syndrome, followed by drawing attention to the existing conceptual framework i.e. HEAL.

This scoping review aims to identify and map the available digital interventions implemented in the five year period (January 2021 to December 2025) that aim to support self-care; examine the key components and strategies of these digital interventions that contribute to self-care; and finally assess the reported health outcomes and biomarkers associated with these interventions, and identify elements that may inform the potential scaling up of effective digital self-care interventions. This review is also expected to identify gaps that may inform future research, program development, and policy.
