Young adult men who gamble frequently face an elevated risk of developing gambling-related problems. So far, little is known about how changing levels of perceived social support interact with the course of gambling behaviour and gambling-related problems in this population. Using data from a prospective single-arm cohort study (Munich Leisure Time Study), we applied hierarchical linear models to investigate the longitudinal association of changes in perceived emotional and social support (hereafter PESS; operationalized as ENRICHD Social Support Instrument score) with gambling intensity, gambling frequency, and fulfilled criteria for gambling disorder. Pooling data from three time points (baseline, 12-month and 24-month follow-ups) to assess two 1-year intervals, these models disentangle the associations of (a) “level of PESS” (cross-sectional, between participants) and (b) “changes in individual PESS” (longitudinally, within-participants). Among the 169 study participants, higher levels of PESS were associated with fewer gambling-related problems (− 0.12 criteria met; p = 0.014). Furthermore, increasing individual PESS was associated with lower gambling frequency (− 0.25 gambling days; p = 0.060) and intensity (− 0.11 gambling hours; p = 0.006), and fewer gambling-related problems (− 0.19 problems; p < 0.001). The results suggest a mitigating influence of PESS on gambling behaviour and gambling-related problems. Increasing individual PESS appears more decisive for this pathway than high initial levels of PESS. Treatment and prevention strategies that activate and reinforce beneficial social resources in people with gambling-related problems are recommended and promising.

The positive impact of sunshine on self-rated health is well known. For the first time, the relationship between sunshine and self-rated health is examined in the context of latitude lines in international comparison. The further people live from the equator, the lower sun exposure (UVB exposure) and the more often they experience a vitamin D deficiency. UVB exposure decreases with degrees of latitudinal lines, and in addition to that, sunshine duration is shorter in northern countries. In order to consider the connection, sunshine duration and degree of latitude lines were manually enriched from the German Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst) to the International Social Survey Programs (2011): Health and Health Care and analyzed with a logistic multilevel model, as well as the inclusion of sunshine duration as a mediator. If sunshine hours, as well as latitude lines, are considered separately in models, both show a statistically significant effect. Together in one model, the sunshine hours lose their relationship and additionally there is no mediation. This suggests that the location of the region is the decisive component when considering self-rated health. Furthermore, an interaction between age and sunshine hours as well as latitude lines is also shown.

Zusammenfassung: Ziel der Studie Mit der Befragung sächsischer Haus- und HautärztInnen wird die Akzeptanz bzw. Nutzungsabsicht einer teledermatologischen Anwendung untersucht. Vor dem Hintergrund der demographischen Entwicklung in Sachsen und der geringen regionalen FachärztInnendichte ist dieses Bundesland zur Durchführung einer solchen Befragung besonders gut geeignet. Methodik Auf der Grundlage einer geschichteten Zufallsauswahl wurden 108 sächsische ÄrztInnen schriftlich postalisch bzw. online befragt (60 HausärztInnen und 48 HautärztInnen, Teilnahmequote 23,5 Prozent). Die Theorie der Akzeptanz und Nutzung von Technologie (UTAUT-Modell) wurde auf die Teledermatologie angewendet. Vier zentrale Hypothesen wurden abgeleitet und mit logistischen Regressionen getestet. Ergebnisse Die getesteten Hypothesen, die Zusammenhänge zwischen Leistungserwartung, Aufwandserwartung, sozialem Einfluss und erleichternden Rahmenbedingungen und der Nutzungsabsicht der Teledermatologie postulieren, werden zum Teil bestätigt. Zudem zeigt sich für Teledermatologie ein Potential bei sächsischen HausärztInnen, da 9,5% ihrer PatientInnen wegen Hauterkrankungen in die Praxis kommen. 78% der HausärztInnen bieten Hautkrebsscreenings an. Schlussfolgerung Die Bevölkerungsstruktur und die geringe Arztdichte in Sachsen wären günstige Voraussetzungen zur Implementation der Teledermatologie. Tiefergehende Bedenken der Haus- und HautärztInnen gegenüber der Teledermatologie konnten aufgrund der Befragungsergebnisse nicht festgestellt werden.
