    Open AccessCharline Maertens de Noordhout, Muriel Levy et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2025

    Innovation in healthcare is highly supply-driven, leading to underinvestment in less profitable health areas, unmet needs and inefficient use of public resources.

The Needs Examination, Evaluation and Dissemination (NEED) ass…

  • Informal caregiving and mental health

    Open AccessFilip Van Droogenbroeck, Bram Spruyt et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Our findings suggest that the stress of caregiving is more directly related to the nature and intensity of the caregiving tasks themselves rather than the demographic characteristics of the caregivers. Interventions aimed at reducing the adverse effects of caregiving might need to be universally applicable to all caregivers, focusing on reducing the intrinsic burdens of caregiving tasks rather than targeting demographic subgroups

  • Burden of Disease of Covid-19

    Open AccessSara M Pires, Grant M A Wyper et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Objectives: Quantifying the combined impact of morbidity and mortality is a key enabler to assessing the impact of COVID-19 across countries and within countries relative to other diseases, regions, or demographics. Differences in methods, data sources, and definitions of mortality due to COVID-19 may hamper comparisons. We describe efforts to support countries in estimating the national-level burden of COVID-19 using disability-adjusted life yea…
