  • Potentially avoidable hospitalizations and socioeconomic status in Switzerland

    Open AccessJacques Spycher, Kevin Morisod et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2024

    The Swiss healthcare system is well known for the quality of its healthcare and population health but also for its high cost, particularly regarding out-of-pocket expenses. We conduct the first national study on the association between socioeconomic status and access to community-based ambulatory care (CBAC). We analyze administrative and hospital discharge data at the small area level over a four-year time period (2014 - 2017). We develop a soci…

    Since the 2008 publication of the reports of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health and its nine knowledge networks, substantial research has been undertaken to document and describe health inequities. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for a deeper understanding of, and broader action on, the social determinants of health. Building on this unique and critical opportunity, the World Health Organization is steering a multi-cou…

In particular, FUEDs identified the working relationship with the case manager (cm) as key for positive outcomes, and also valued the holistic evaluation of their needs and resources. Overall, patients reported increased motivation and health literacy, as well as facilitated interactions within the healthcare system. Conversely, a small number of participants reported negative views on CM ( ie…

  • Prevalence of Sars-CoV-2 infection and associated risk factors among asylum seekers living in asylum centres

    Open AccessKevin Morisod, Véronique S Grazioli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2023Referencias: 1

    Despite the lack of severe complications of Covid-19 disease in this study, findings suggest that developing targeted public health measures, especially for the low health literacy population, would be necessary to limit the risk of outbreaks in asylum centres and improve this population's safety. Further investigations and qualitative approach are required to understand more finely how living conditions, risks and behaviours such as tobacco cons…

  • Importance of Asylum Status, Support Programmes, and Family Unit Functioning on the Mental Health of Syrian Forced Migrants in Switzerland

    Open AccessJoëlle Darwiche, Nahema El Ghaziri et al.ARTICLEJournal of Refugee Studies2023Referencias: 3

    Due to the Syrian civil war, millions of Syrians have fled the country since 2011. Several issues have inhibited their successful resettlement, but few studies have examined the development of the healthcare needs of Syrian forced migrants in Europe. This study examined Syrian forced migrants’ healthcare needs in Switzerland, and whether migration type and family functioning affect their mental health. Our sample included 108 individuals from 14 …

    Social inequalities are perpetuating unhealthy living and working conditions and behaviours. These causes are commonly called ‘the social determinants of health’. Social inequalities are also impacting climate change and vice-versa, which, is causing profound negative impacts on planetary health.

    Open AccessNolwenn Buhler, Mélody Pralong et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

  • Association of Overcrowding and Turnover with Self-Harm in a Swiss Pre-Trial Prison

    Open AccessStéphanie Baggio, Laurent Gétaz et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Self-harm is a common issue in detention and includes both suicidal and non-suicidal behaviours. Beyond well-known individual risk factors, institutional factors such as overcrowding (i.e., when the prison population exceeds its capacity) and turnover (i.e., the rate at which the prison population is renewed), may also increase the risk of self-harm. However, these factors are understudied or previous studies reported inconsistent findings. This …

  • Characterizing the vulnerability of frequent emergency department users by applying a conceptual framework

    Open AccessPatrick Bodenmann, Stéphanie Baggio et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2015

    Frequent ED users within a universal health coverage system form a highly vulnerable population, when taking into account all five dimensions of a conceptual framework of vulnerability. The predictive factors identified could be useful in the early detection of future frequent users, in order to address their specific needs and decrease vulnerability, a key priority for health care policy makers. Application of the conceptual framework in future …
