In recent years there has been increased interest in the role played by business corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies in promoting the health and wellbeing of internal and external stakeholders. However, the sparse public health research to date has mainly focused on the health and wellbeing of internal stakeholders. This viewpoint article aims to ignite discussion of how CSR strategies need to also target external stakeholders beyond the workplace. Businesses have an opportunity to help address the most important societal challenges, especially the social determinants of health which are the root causes of inequities in health. However, while advancing a new agenda for promoting external stakeholders' health, businesses need to take into account potential challenges that might arise from ethical conflicts when trying to balance their CSR initiatives against their business operations.

Research on sports for persons with disabilities (PWDs) has grown significantly in recent years, particularly in parasports, disability sports, and adapted sports. Numerous studies have consistently highlighted the role of sports as a powerful tool for promoting social integration, enhancing psychological well-being, and improving the physical health of PWDs. However, comprehensive reviews on the development and progression of this field remain limited.

COVID-19 unleashed a bereavement crisis on a scale unseen in over a century. While evidence suggests COVID-19 deaths are acutely damaging to well-being, it is unclear how multiple losses affect mental health, whether there are ethnoracial differences in cumulative loss, or if the association between multiple COVID-related deaths and psychological distress varies by race-ethnicity. Using national survey data (n = 1810) collected following the Omicron surge in the United States, we estimate a series of regression models to assess the association between multiple COVID-19 losses and psychological distress, racial-ethnic differences in aggregate death exposure, and differential vulnerability to multiple losses across racial-ethnic groups.

Purpose: Stroke affects one in four adults in the UK, with over a third relying on informal carers. The burden of care can have detrimental effects on the mental and physical health of carers, which may impact the rehabilitative process. Despite this, interventions have focused on the physical demands of caregiving, prioritising the stroke survivor.

Introduction: Submarine environments pose unique challenges to maintaining physical activity and exercise routines due to confined spaces, demanding schedules, and limited resources. This study investigated submariners' physical activity patterns, sleep quality, and perceived exercise barriers in both land- and sea-based settings, with the goal of informing targeted health interventions.
Materials And Methods: Ethics approval was granted by the Defence Science and Technology Group and Edith Cowan University review panels.
