EDITORIAL
This week, Practices in Health offers you fifteen readings that start from the same observation: health is primarily determined by our living conditions. Unemployment, precariousness, mental load, or violence weigh heavily on mental health, particularly that of women and young people. Alcohol brands are investing in social media to reach adolescents. Home care workers operate under difficult conditions. And sobriety cannot rely solely on individual actions. These documents remind us that prevention also means acting on people's environments.
These readings also open up concrete avenues for field actors. They highlight the importance of involving young people, patients, and families, whether to create prevention content, improve hospitals, or evaluate the quality of care. They provide practical guidelines on image rights in institutions, guidance in cases of infertility, or physical activity as support for mental health. Finally, our dossier on disability poses a simple question: more provisions, does it really mean more answers? Happy reading to all.
