- Read more about the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) without signs of tissue invasion (afebrile UTI (a-UTI)) in men in general practice
- Learn more about the development and implementation of a guideline osteoporosis and fall prevention that focuses on physiotherapy and exercise therapy.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most commonly used treatment for gambling disorders, but it has only been limitedly studied to date.ObjectiveThe first objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of CBT for gambling problems. The second objective is to map out the needs of clients regarding their treatment, including the need for a cognitive bias module.ApproachEach year…
- In their everyday life, people constantly breathe, ingest and get exposed to micro- and nano-plastic particles (MNP). By changing their behavior, people can reduce their MNP emission and protect themselves against MNP exposure. However, the majority of people are not aware of this MNP problem. Previous research showed that only providing information on the health issue will not make people change…
- Since the nationwide legalization of online gambling, concerns have arisen about a possible increase in gambling addiction among vulnerable groups, including young people, older adults, and individuals with a low socioeconomic status. Research was needed into interventions aimed at early detection of problems, indicated prevention, and referral to treatment—particularly among vulnerable groups…
- Now that online gambling is legalized in the Netherlands, young people are exposed to a lot of gambling advertisements. This may lead to an increasing number of young people developing gambling problems. Moti-4 is a program that has previously been successful in reducing other addictions, such as cannabis use and gaming.ObjectiveThe project aims to adapt Moti-4 for adolescents and young adults…
- Better monitoring of gambling-related harm helps reduce this harm by identifying points for prevention and treatment.ObjectiveThis project aims to improve the measurement of indicators for gambling-related harm in the Netherlands.ApproachWork Package 1: Development of a Dutch-language conceptual framework on gambling-related harm for use in research, policy, and prevention contexts.Work Package 2…
- The analysis of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) is challenging. This is due to the fact that MNPs are present at low concentrations in complex matrices, as well as the broad range of synthetic polymers and size ranges. It is important to develop a standardized and robust approach to accurately quantify and characterize MNPs.GoalThe researchers want to develop knowledge about the chemical…
- Since the 1st of July 2023, there is a ban on untargeted advertising. Given the opportunities for online advertising and sponsorship that remain allowed and the way gambling companies have operated at the edge of what is legally possible in recent years, this project focuses on marketing communication for (online) gambling.ObjectiveWe aim to map out the amount and types of gambling advertisements…
- This project is about standardizing and harmonizing exposure data that is used to estimate the risks of microplastic particles for humans. It is very important to use good and reliable data. Only then can the estimated risks be used for regulation and policy. There are currently two problems. Firstly, data is often not of sufficient quality. Secondly, research is done with different microplastic…
- Micro- and nanoplastics (MNP) are a health and environmental concern but little is known about the extent of the problem. Current analytical techniques are unable to reliably quantify MNP in environmental matrices. This is of societal importance to understand the concentrations we are exposed to and devise mitigation strategies.GoalIn this study, the factors will be identified that disturb current…
- Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread pollutants in the environment, including our food. MNPs that are in contact with a complex matrix, like food or intestinal digestive juices, will be covered with a biofilm of biomolecules, the biomolecular corona. Proteins in the biocorona are known to modify the intestinal uptake of MNPs. This can have adverse human health effects. Very limited data is…
