An article on brown-out was published in the Tribune de Genève on 2 September 2025. Brown-out is a term used to describe a loss of motivation or meaning at work: you're functioning 'half-heartedly', without being completely switched off. It's a subject we're studying in Specchio via the Santé-Travail 2025 questionnaire.

These results are a wake-up call, and underline the importance of continuing epidemiological surveillance of the health of the very young in order to put in place effective preventive measures.
