The longitudinal changes in sustainable working life among those with or without baseline night work. methods: using data from swedish national registers, sustainable working life was defined as employment during follow-up without interruptions due to sa/dp, unemployment, and old- age pension. survey data for two cohorts (i.e., born before or after 1959) were utilized to assess night work at baseline (yes/ no) in 1998-2003 and 2004-2006, respectively. the final samples for the two cohorts were 34680 and 19637, respectively. group-based trajectory models were applied. results: among those born before 1959 (mean age 59 years, 13 years follow-up), a five-trajectory solution was best for those with and without night work. the trajectory groups were stable sustainable working life (38-42%), stable unsustainable work- ing life (24-25%), early (13%) or later (13%) decreasing sustainable working life, and between sustainable and unsus- tainable working life (7%). among those born after 1958 (mean age 37 years, follow-up 10 years), four trajectories were detected for those with night work: stable sustainable working life (81%), stable unsustainable working life (6%) and increasing (7%) and decreasing (5%) sustainable working life. for those without nightwork, a three-trajectory solution was best: stable sustainable working life (83%), unsustainable working life (6%) and between sustainable and unsustainable working life (11%). conclusions: sustainable working life was similar across baseline night work statuses of older cohort but differed in younger cohort. the findings suggest that at least night work at one time point does not affect sustainable working life. however, night work at early stages of working life could be accompanied with lifestyle counselling for sleep and recovery. key messages: trajectories of sustainable working life seem similar for those with or without night work adding to the under- standing of effects of such work to health. from public health perspective, counselling employees with night work already at early stages of working life for health behaviours including sleep and recovery could support sustainable working life

Results: of 45,858 participants, 3.5% reported a current or previous infection with sars-cov-2, 16% reported own or parental history of migration. the probability of reporting an infection was 3.95 percentage points higher among migrants. the effect of different characteristics on self-reported sars-cov-2 infection varied. higher probabilities were shown for indivi- duals living in bigger households and those not speaking german at home. stepwise integration decreased the observed association with migrant status. when adding an interaction term of migrant status and occupation in the health sector, the probability to report an infection was 11.5 percentage points higher for migrants working in the health sector. conclusions: people with migration history, health sector employees and particular migrant health workers are at a higher risk of sars- cov-2 infection. however, the migrant status itself does not determine the risk of infection, but the living and working conditions. therefore, targeted and multilingual prevention measures are needed that consider living and working conditions. key messages: higher sars-cov-2 infection risks are not solely deter- mined by migrant status, but were shown for health care workers, people living in bigger households and those not speaking german at home. as not the migrant status determines infection risks, multilingual and targeted prevention measures considering the living and working conditions of people are necessary

Results: five items were found to have an item content validity index (i-cvi) of 0.6, 2 of 0.5, and 2 of 0.2. the scale contentvalidity index (s-cvi) was found to be 0.80. regarding parental knowledge, the results show that almost all parents are able to correctly state the name of the diagnosis and the description and location of the heart defect. however, parental knowledge has important gaps; in particular, parents are less informed about the most characteristic sign of endocarditis, the possibility of contracting endocarditis more than once in a lifetime, and risk factors. parental knowledge also seems to be lacking regarding symptoms suggesting worsening health status in their children. conclusions: the italian version of the lkqchd has proved to be a valid tool to measure the level of knowledge of parents of children with chd, allowing to identify in which areas it is necessary to improve the education addressed to parents. key messages: assessing the knowledge of parents of children with chd allows to improve their education. the italian version of the lkqchd is a valid tool to measure the level of knowledge of parents of children with chd

Detect, screen, and inform them about relevant support services. methods: we conducted an online survey during israel’s 2nd and 3rd lockdowns (october 2020-february 2021). a self-admini- strated structured questionnaire was distributed in arabic and hebrew via social media. eligibility criteria included women >18 years old. 519 women completed the question- naire: palestinian-arab = 73; non-immigrant jew = 319; and immigrant jew = 127. we asked women whether they were ever screened (es) for ipv or received information (ri) on support services in the hcs. results: 37.2% of the women reported any ipv; palestinian-arab women reported higher rates of ipv (49.3%) compared to non-immigrant jew (34.2%) and immigrant jew (37.8%). prevalence of es and ri on support services were low among the total study sample (21.8%, 47% respectively). only 12.1% reported on both (es and ri). among women who reported ipv, only 26.9% reported that they had been es, 39.4% ri, and 13.5% both. whilst palestinian-arab women victims of ipv reported higher es and a lower ri (30.6%,25% respectively) non-immigrant and immigrant jew reported the opposite – higher prevalence of ri and less es (non-immigrant jew 45%,25.7%. immigrant jew 37.5%,27%, respectively). in the multivariate analysis after adjusts, palestinian-arab women were less likely to ri regarding support services (or = 0.33,90%ci = 0.19-0.57), while immigrant jew women had a greater chance to be es in hcs (or = 4.29, 90% ci = 1.43-12.80). conclusions: to increase ipv detection in the hcs, there is a need for interventions on screening and providing information on support services specifically during emergencies where ipv is likely to increase. key messages: � during emergency situations such as the covid-19 when ipv is likely to increase, hcs should make more efforts for ipv screening and providing information on support services to women victims of ipv. tailored intervention should consider barriers in the hcs for providing less information on support services to minority women, and less screening for immigrant women

Perspective, including presentations and speakers from europe, africa and north america. current research and policy initiatives are still primarily focused on the clinical management of multimorbidity after it occurs as well as on the prevention of adverse events in those individuals who are already living with multimorbidity. there is still a significant need to develop and establish effective and equitable primary prevention strategies in order to avoid the occurrence of multimorbidity across populations. also, health systems around the world will need to implement context-specific initiatives and changes to tackle the growing burden of multimorbidity in ageing populations, which will be con- strained by available resources, societal and political priorities and values. any potential health system transformations will need to reconcile the concomitant burden imposed by multimorbidity and other major public health priorities, including the current pandemic, the health impact of climate change and widening health disparities across marginalized key messages: there is a significant need to develop effective and equitable primary prevention strategies in order to avoid the occurrence of multimorbidity. health systems around the world will need to implement context-specific initiatives and changes, which will be constrained by available resources, societal and political priorities and values
