Global health education programs
Introduction: Global health education (GHE) is expected to prepare professionals to address complex, interlinked global challenges. However, current GHE structures often reflect persistent power asymmetries between the Global North and South, limiting the development of a truly global and equitable health workforce. This review examines how global health master's programs are distributed geographically and to what extent their thematic focus and …
Is intersectionality selective? The role of collider bias
We examine whether observed intersectional inequalities may arise from selection processes rather than underlying social mechanisms. Intersectionality is commonly operationalized using interaction terms in regression models or approaches such as Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA). An implicit assumption is often made that the analyzed sample reflects the population of interest, so that inference f…

Multilevel modelling of structured intersectional inequalities in child anaemia in Peru
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic exposures related to anaemia in Peruvian children have been modelled assuming additive or log-additive relationships, yet such approaches overlook the fact that illness emerges from the complex interplay of multiple, intersecting determinants. Using data from the 2017-2023 Peruvian Demographic and Health Survey, we cross-classified age, wealth index, maternal education, ethnicity and region of residence to estimate the p…
The target trial framework in global health research
A randomised trial is the best way to make causal inferences when evaluating the effectiveness and safety of health interventions in global health research. Trials, however, are inherently expensive, unfeasible in many scenarios, and may raise ethical issues. In these scenarios, we must turn to analyses of observational data to learn what works. The target trial framework provides an organising principle for the design of observational studies th…
Diminished returns of maternal education on children's vaccination status for indigenous women in Peru
Marginalization-related diminished returns of education level on self-rated physical and mental health among immigrants
Socioeconomic and spatial distribution of depressive symptoms and access to treatment in Peru
Depressive symptoms were concentrated among the poorest, whereas access to treatment was remarkably concentrated among the wealthiest groups. A clustered spatial pattern was observed, and similar high-risk areas were identified. Social policies that address unequal socioeconomic and spatial distribution in depressive symptoms and treatment are required
Access to HIV/STI testing among male and female Venezuelan migrants in Peru
Only two in ten Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Peru were screened for HIV/STI, with fewer males than females. Sex-specific sociodemographic, health-related, and migration-related variables were independently associated with access to HIV/STI testing
Inequalities in anemia among Peruvian children aged 6–59 months
Objective: To quantify the inequalities of anemia in Peruvian children aged 6-59 months and uncover its contributing factors. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the secondary data analysis of the 2021 Peruvian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Our sample included Peruvian children aged 6-59 months with complete data for the variables of interest. Anemia was defined as having a hemoglobin level of less than 11 …
Socio-demographic, migratory and health-related determinants of food insecurity among Venezuelan migrants in Peru
Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with food insecurity (FI) among Venezuelan migrants residing in Peru. Secondarily, to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). Design: A cross-sectional study based on secondary data analysis of the 2022 Venezuelan Population Residing in Peru Survey (ENPOVE-2022, from the Spanish acronym) was conducted. FI was measured with the FIES, whose properties were te…
Associated factors, inequalities, and spatial distribution of the use of modern contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age in Peru
Two out of five Peruvian women of reproductive age used modern contraceptives. It was associated with younger women's age, younger age at first sexual intercourse, being married or cohabitant, among others. No substantial inequality was found in modern contraceptive use. The prevalence was heterogeneous at the intra- and inter-departmental level. Those departments located in the south, south-east, and north-east had the lowest prevalence. Therefo…
Association Between Intimate Partner Violence and Depressive Symptoms among Women Aged 15 to 45 Years in Peru
We conducted a secondary data analysis based on the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Demographic and Health Surveys to determine the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and depressive symptoms in Peruvian women aged 15-45 years. Depressive symptoms were assessed through the PHQ-9, while IPV was assessed through the CTS-2. A total of 24,099 subjects were included. The prevalence of depressive symptoms and IPV was 6.98% and 64.72%, respectively…
Factores asociados a la fecundidad adicional no deseada
The prevalence of UAF in Peruvian women between 40 and 49 years old who participated in the 2018 DHS is high. Patients from rural areas have a higher probability of having unwanted pregnancies, and those in the top wealth quintile have a lower probability
