Health and multihazard early warning systems in the media.
Article in Perspectives in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThe media's influence on public opinion and support for policy change, particularly concerning climate action and its intersection with public health, has gained significant attention. The media serves as a significant platform for delivering public health messages to the general population. This article explores the central role of media in shaping public understanding and support for mitigation and adaptation efforts, with a specific focus on its implications for public health advocacy. It does this by investigating how health and multihazard early warning systems (MHEWS) have been covered in newspaper articles worldwide.
methodsThrough thematic content analysis, we examined how newspaper articles portray messages and use narrative techniques. The objective is to show differences in reporting strategies and understand the symbolic connotations linked to media discourse on health and MHEWS.
resultsThe analysis identified seven key themes in the media's coverage of health and MHEWS. The themes cover strategies to reduce vulnerability to disasters, including health-related risks, governmental roles in policy implementation and resource allocation, international collaboration, community engagement, technological advancements, financial challenges, and health impacts and preparedness. They emphasise the importance of holistic approaches, local participation, and global cooperation in disaster risk reduction, adaptation, and resilience-building.
conclusionsThe research highlights the potential of media advocacy in raising awareness about the complex links between health and climate-related hazards, as well as the media's role in increasing support for planning and action. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges associated with the media to promote resilience and improve public health.
