Evaluating the effect of social mobility on the incidence of HIV/Aids in low-income populations
The control of the HIV/AIDS epidemic remains a significant challenge for public health in Brazil, a country marked by profound social inequalities. In this study, we aimed to use the integration of large data analyses with microsimulation models to evaluate the effect of alternative income-based social mobility policies on AIDS incidence, both in the overall population and in specific vulnerability groups. We created a dynamic microsimulation mod…

Improving social determinants of health significantly reduces Aids incidence
Despite progress in addressing HIV/AIDS, the burden remains uneven, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Social determinants of health (SDH) significantly influence HIV/AIDS. We studied the impact of SDH inequalities on AIDS incidence in Brazil, a large and diverse LMIC. We used an agent-based model (ABM) to introduce the SDH inequalities of income, education, sex and race in an HIV/AIDS model of 1 172 721 residents in 10 Brazi…

Projecting the impact of air pollution on child stunting in India—synergies and trade-offs between climate change mitigation, ambient air quality control, and clean cooking access
Many children in India face the double burden of high exposure to ambient (AAP) and household air pollution, both of which can affect their linear growth. Although climate change mitigation is expected to decrease AAP, climate policies could increase the cost of clean cooking fuels. Here, we develop a static microsimulation model to project the air pollution-related burden of child stunting in India up to 2050 under four scenarios combining clima…
