    1 The number of individual social media users on each platform that fit the desired demographics of the target population and could be potentially shown the advertisement during the paid advertising campaign. 2 The number of social media users on each platform that were shown an advertisement during the campaign. 3 The number of social media users that clicked on the advertisement on either social media site and were successfully transferred to the survey landing page on Typeform.com to begin eligibility and informed-consent questions. Not all social media users targeted by the paid advertising campaign were eligible or gave consent to participate in the survey. 4 The number of eligible and consenting survey participants who could potentially complete the full survey.</p

    The table shows simulated outcomes for 1000 <i>P</i>. <i>vivax</i> malaria patients of undetermined G6PD status at attendance, if they were managed according to each of three strategies (chloroquine, primaquine and screening) according to G6PD status, treatment given and the test result if screened.

    This research aimed to capture and synthesise the views of children, young people, parents and expectant parents (CYPP) about the cities where they live, with a specific focus on air pollution (AP), in order to support the generation of evidence-informed policy that reflects CYPP’s perspectives, ultimately contributing to the development of child-centered, healthier, sustainable cities. The Children, Cities and Climate (CCC) project used targeted social media adverts to recruit CYPP to complete an online survey with a combination of open and closed questions in order to collect perceptions about air quality in their home cities, the main sources of AP, and how they would improve their cities. The survey was completed by 3,222 CYPP in 59 of the most polluted cities in 14 countries. Nearly two in five (39%) CYPP cited AP as one of the worst things about their city, with motor transport perceived as the main contributor. CYPP reported differing views on whether their cities were becoming better (43%) or worse (34%) places to live (33% reported it was ‘staying the same’). Numerous specific ideas to improve cities and urban air quality emerged, alongside an emphasis on also addressing structural barriers to change. A clear set of principles that should guide how city leaders act was also described, including the need to engage with young people meaningfully. CYPPs articulated good and bad experiences of urban living and perceived AP and traffic as pressing concerns. They provided a clear set of suggestions for improving their cities. Further efforts to engage young people on these issues are warranted.</div

    <p>Green represents disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) averted by the screening strategy for a cohort of 1000 individuals. For costs, yellow indicates increased costs and blue indicates cost savings for the screening strategy for one individual. For net monetary benefit (<i>NMB</i>), purple indicates scenarios where the screening strategy would be cost-effective at a threshold of US$500 (<i>T</i>) where <i>NMB = T × ΔDALYs– ΔCosts</i>.</p
