La complejidad que plantea el diseño de actividades y programas de ocio requiere el esfuerzo común de los diferentes agentes; así, tanto las administraciones públicas, como los padres, profesionales, los propios adolescentes y las entidades gestoras de estos programas han de coordinar sus esfuerzos en pro de desarrollar equilibradamente los espacios con las propuestas para el ocio. De estas actividades, las encaminadas hacia el recreo supervisado permiten crecer en positivo, pero la alarma aparece cuando los espacio…

2014
The settings approach to health promotion is a world-known concept concerning settings like city, hospital, school, and workplace. The concept has also been used in some regionally specific settings, such as island, prison, or university. However, there are still many, often noninstitutional, settings that have a lot of potential but have not yet been recognized. One of the newcomers is the youth sports club, which has the potential to reach a lot of children and adolescents and is effective, via its casual educational nature based on voluntary participation.

Personal health promotion through personalized health technologies — Nuadu experience
2009
Poor lifestyles — overweight, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, sleep deprivation, and stress — are significant risk factors to chronic illnesses, which cause majority of the health care costs. Hence, behavioral change towards healthy lifestyles is one of the keys to health care cost containment. Personal health systems (PHS) offer tools to support behavioral change. As health risks, personal needs and preferences vary from an individual to another, personalization of the PHS is needed. In Nuadu project we have developed a PHS integrating several different personal health technologies. This system was studied in a large (N=354) randomized controlled trial where employees with several hea…
Coaches’ Health Promotion Activity and Substance Use in Youth Sports
2017
There is an increasing amount of evidence suggesting youth sports clubs are an important setting for health promotion. Adolescents in sport club settings can benefit from exposures of positive and negative consequences to health. To better understand the sport club context and coaches’ health promotion activity in substance use prevention, this study compares sport club members with non-members aged between 14–16 years old on their experience and use of alcohol, smoking and snuff and coaches’ health promotion activity on substances. Methods: Adolescents (n = 671) from sports clubs and from matched schools (n = 1442) were recruited in this study. Multiple binary logistic regressions were per…
The Process of Remembering with the Forgotten Australians: Digital Storytelling and Marginalized Groups
2012
Digital storytelling projects have proliferated in Australia since the early 2000s, and have been theorized as a means to disseminate the stories and voices of “ordinary” people. In this paper I examine through the case study of a 2009 digital storytelling project between the Australasian Centre for Interactive Design and a group identifying as Forgotten Australian whether digital storytelling in its predominant workshop-based format is able to meet the needs of profoundly marginalized and traumatized individuals and groups. For digital storytelling to be of use to marginalized groups as a means of communication or reflection a significant re-examination of the current approaches to its for…
Desempleo y crisis Económica. Los casos de España e Italia
2018

Para ello se han analizado datos relativos a: el mercado del trabajo, la situación socioeconómica y la legislación exis-tente. Tras el estudio realizado, tres parecen ser las discrepancias más relevantes: 1) las diferencias en las tasas de actividad femenina entre ambos países; 2) la menor apertura del mercado laboral italiano en los últimos 20 años; y, 3) la diferente legis-lación sobre d…
