Health insurance and accessibility to health services among Roma in settlements in Belgrade, Serbia—the journey from data to policy making
The Serbian constitution and health-related laws assert that citizens and residents are universally entitled to health care, provided that they hold health insurance. However, until 2010, persons who did not hold a national identification number (ID) were required to present a plethora of documents to be granted one. We assessed the relationship between citizenship, residency and possession of health insurance cards, together with utilization of …

The intersections of gender and class in health status and health care
It is increasingly recognized that different axes of social power relations, such as gender and class, are interrelated, not as additive but as intersecting processes. This paper has reviewed existing research on the intersections between gender and class, and their impacts on health status and access to health care. The review suggests that intersecting stratification processes can significantly alter the impacts of any one dimension of inequali…

Window of opportunity for intersectoral health policy in Sweden open, half-open or half-shut?
'Health in All Policies' (HiAP) is defined as a 'horizontal, complementary policy-related strategy with a high potential for contributing to population health'. To ensure that health impacts are highlighted across sectors, the support of actors in different sectors, not just the health sector, is needed. Public health, here defined as a universally important but a low prioritized politics area, needs to involve high politics areas to fulfil the H…
Gender and health promotion
Women and men are different as regards their biology, the roles and responsibilities that society assigns to them and their position in the family and community. These factors have a great influence on causes, consequences and management of diseases and ill-health and on the efficacy of health promotion policies and programmes. This is confirmed by evidence on male-female differences in cause-specific mortality and morbidity and exposure to risk …
Engendering International Health
Engendering International Health presents the work of leading researchers on gender equity in international health. Growing economic inequalities reinforce social injustices, stall health gains, and deny good health to many. In particular, deep-seated gender biases in health research and policy institutions combine with a lack of well-articulated and accessible evidence to downgrade the importance of gender perspectives in health. The book?s cent…
The work-relatedness of disease
In the routine compilation of statistics on the relation between occupation and ill-health it is usually possible to demonstrate links to certain physically demanding occupations. However, studies of the causal links between work and ill-health present problems. Besides the difficulties that often occur in collecting information on present and previous occupations, exposure periods, latency, duration, etc, the analysis and interpretations themsel…
Occupational history, self reported chronic illness, and mortality
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim of the study was to analyse the extent to which mortality can be predicted from data on self assessed chronic illness. DESIGN--The study used data obtained from ongoing surveys of living conditions conducted by Statistics Sweden using annual interviews of cohorts of about 8000 people. SETTING--The study was a population based survey of the whole of Sweden. PARTICIPANTS--The analysis involved a group of 25,586 respondents …
Negative health selection into physically light occupations
Health selection, which transfers workers with health problems from physically heavy to physically light occupations, may be a factor contributing to excessive morbidity in the latter group. The aim of this study was to investigate whether workers who had stopped doing heavy work and moved to occupations with low physical demand are generally more ill than workers who had always done light work. The study population comprised 5436 men and 5486 wo…
The health of nations
It was only six years ago that Richard G Wilkinson published his path-breaking book Unhealthy societies. The afflictions of inequality , in which he argued that among developed countries it is not the richest societies that have the best health, but those that have the smallest income differences between rich and poor. Wilkinson’s pioneering ideas on the social
