Designing interdisciplinary education in digital public health: a position paper.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. 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
The rapid digital transformation of health systems worldwide demands an interdisciplinary public health workforce proficient in digital technologies, ethical frameworks and systems-level thinking. However, current public health curricula remain largely discipline-specific and fail to systematically embed digital competencies or foster collaboration across sectors such as technology, ethics, law, and policy. This position paper emerges from a high-level workshop held during the Digital Public Health Conference 2025, where international experts and educators debated strategies for advancing interdisciplinary education. Drawing on multilevel evidence, including participant reflections, international frameworks, and case studies, we identify and analyse five critical challenges shaping the future of digital public health education: (1) embedding ethics and regulation into digital public health education; (2) strengthening digital public health literacy with a salutogenic approach; (3) defining interdisciplinary competencies for the future workforce; (4) integrating real-world applications into classroom learning; and (5) enabling long-term, cross-border collaboration in education. For each theme, we propose actionable goals rooted in pedagogical innovation, policy alignment, and institutional governance. Designing inclusive, ethical, and practice-informed education models is essential to prepare a digitally fluent and socially accountable public health workforce.
