The long-term effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on loneliness in European older women and men
This study examines the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on loneliness among adults aged 65 and over across 27 European countries, focusing on gender differences and the role of government-imposed containment measures. Using longitudinal data from four waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), pre-pandemic (Wave 8), two SHARE Corona surveys (2020-2021), and post-pandemic (Wave 9), the analyses include 49,351…
Trajectories and inequalities in routine healthcare uptake from adolescence to retirement
Background Regular uptake of routine healthcare services can support disease prevention, early detection, monitoring, and timely treatment. Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations often face barriers to healthcare use. However, little is known about how routine healthcare uptake, and inequalities within it, unfold across the life course, or whether these trajectories differ by gender and birth cohort. Methods We used retrospectively collected…
The line is drawn, the fate is cast
Introduction Despite sustained advances in medical innovation and expanded access to healthcare services, inequalities in the uptake of health check-ups persist, pointing to enduring mechanisms in the reproduction of health inequalities. Although Fundamental Cause Theory (FCT) has been widely used to examine such inequalities, it has largely been operationalized at the individual level, with limited attention to institutional arrangements and ins…
‘A gendered family affair’? Examining the role of partners', parents', and parents-in-law's education in preventive healthcare use among older men and women
This study aims to extend the body of research on educational inequalities in preventive healthcare practices among older adults, and their intergenerational reproduction, by investigating the role of family spillovers. Beyond the influence of individuals' own education, we examine how partner's, parents', and parents-in-law's educational attainment relate to participation in colorectal cancer screening and flu vaccination, with particular attent…
Social connection before and after the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic required major preventive measures that had a substantial impact on social life. Since then, there has been concern for pandemic side-effects on social connection. While short-term increases in poor social connection have been observed during the pandemic, less is known about long-term consequences. Only a few studies have made comparisons of social connection before, during and after the pandemic, showing conflicting result…

Sandwich Generation and Ever-married Women’s Perceived Stress
Building on the stress process model and adopting an intersectionality framework, this study highlights the formation of a stronger intergenerational family symbiosis system in China. It offers a systematic understanding of the association between multigenerational caregiving and sandwich women’s stress, extending prior research by exploring the mitigating effect of husbands. Drawing upon China Health and Nutrition Survey data, findings indicate …
Navigating mental health issues
The study confirmed that attributing causes to mental health strongly relate to care recommendation patterns. Furthermore, the mediating role of perceived public stereotypical attitudes was recognized in determining the relationship between mental health causal attribution and help-seeking care recommendations
The role of education as a socialization mechanism in addressing the social gradient in depression treatment in Belgium (2004–2018)
This study demonstrates that education plays a critical role in fostering health-related knowledge and reasoning, making individuals with longer education more likely to engage in rational health behaviors and choose more effective treatments, even when these treatments require more effort and competencies. The findings underscore the importance of considering education as a key determinant of depression treatment inequalities
Urdu Translation and Psychometric Validation of Stigma Beliefs Scale
Purpose/Aim This study aims to translate and adapt the Personal and Perceived Public Stigma Beliefs Scale from the Eurobarometer into Urdu, subsequently modifying and evaluating its psychometric properties among Pakistani adolescents and young adults. Methods 1328 college students aged 15–24 from Layyah, Punjab, Pakistan participated in this cross-sectional study, using the stigma beliefs scale to measure attitudes toward mental illness. Results …
General practitioners’ repertoires of patients with a migration background and mental health problems
Purpose Despite a higher prevalence of mental health problems among people with a migration background, recent studies indicate these patients have more unmet medical needs and are under-represented in mental health services. General practitioners (GPs) are central gatekeepers in treatment and referral to specialised mental health care. However, their recommendations can be influenced by beliefs, social norms and practices that might prejudice pe…

Diverging Family Behaviors
This study explores cohort changes in first marriage timing in China, focusing on how evolving socioeconomic disparities shape marriage behavior. Using event history analyses and lognormal models, the research draws on 105,209 person-year records from 12 waves of the Chinese General Social Survey (2003-2021), covering individuals aged 18-80. Findings support the Cohort Accretion Hypothesis, showing that more educated and urban adults are delaying…

At risk or resilient? Examining the effects of having a migration background on mental and social wellbeing outcomes amongst adolescents
This study examines how different migration backgrounds-non-migrants, newly-arrived migrants, first-generation migrants, and second-generation migrants-affect the mental and social wellbeing of adolescents. Data from two cross-sectional surveys in 2022 in Flanders, Belgium, included 17,639 adolescents (52% boys; aged 11-19). We analysed the association between migration background and four outcomes: depression symptoms (WHO-5 Wellbeing Index), an…
Country-level sociocultural context and socioeconomic inequalities in adolescent dietary behaviours
Prevalence and Correlates of Mental Health Stigma among PakistaniAdolescents and Young Adults
Stigma significantly hinders the effective management of mental illness in Pakistan, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Given that stigmatizing beliefs can vary across different socioeconomic and demographic groups, it is crucial to study these variations within the Pakistani context, as most existing empirical evidence comes from Western contexts. This paper aims to investigate the prevalence of stigmatizing attitudes and explore t…
Through a kaleidoscope
A higher prevalence of depression is found among patients with a migration background within the Belgian population. Nevertheless, this group is underrepresented in ambulant and residential mental health care services. Since general practitioners (GPs) have a crucial gatekeeping role, this led some researchers to investigate the possibility of a provider bias influencing GPs' assessment and referral of depressed patients with a migration backgrou…
Trends in the use of benzodiazepine receptor agonists among working-age adults in Belgium from 2004 to 2018
Introduction: The use of psychotropics, such as benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BzRAs), among working-age adults in Belgium has shown educational differences. However, it is unclear how work status plays a role in this relationship. Therefore, this research aims to investigate whether work status explains observed educational differences in BzRA use. In addition, considering medicalisation processes, where non-medical factors, such as work stat…
Individual, interpersonal, and organisational factors associated with discrimination in medical decisions affecting people with a migration background with mental health problems
This paper showed that lower levels of trust among GPs' towards their migrant patients and high GP workloads contribute to an increased ethnic bias in medical decision-making. This may perpetuate ethnic inequalities in mental health care. Future researchers should develop an intervention to decrease the ethnic inequities in mental health care by addressing GPs' trust in their migrant and ethnic minority patients
Socioeconomic inequalities in adolescent health behaviours across 32 different countries - The role of country-level social mobility
Higher family affluence is associated with healthier behaviours in adolescents, but the strength of this association varies across countries. Differences in social mobility at the country-level, i.e. the extent to which adolescents develop a different socioeconomic status (SES) than their parents, may partially explain why the association between family affluence and adolescent health behaviours is stronger in some countries than in others. Using…
Burdens in mental health recovery
BACKGROUND: Lay attitudes are often seen as potential barriers to mental health recovery. But apart from perceiving them as potential barriers, they can also play an important role in stimulating individuals to consult (in)formal help sources, in particular through the process of help referral. Where existing research mainly focusses on actual help seeking behaviour, this study will focus on lay publics' referral behaviour. AIMS: This study analy…
Perceived Social Support from Different Sources and Adolescent Life Satisfaction Across 42 Countries/Regions
Although previous research established a positive association between perceived social support and adolescent life satisfaction, little is known about the relative importance of different sources of support for adolescent life satisfaction and cross-country variations in this respect. Using large-scale representative samples from the 2017/18 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, this study examined to what extent the association …

Mental Health in Adolescents with a Migration Background in 29 European Countries
Dominant Cultural and Personal Stigma Beliefs and the Utilization of Mental Health Services
Purpose: The detrimental impact of stigma on the utilization of mental health services is a well-established finding. Nevertheless, most studies consider only the personal or interactional dimensions of stigma. This contribution makes a distinction between the dominant beliefs about stigma within a culture and the personal beliefs of individuals with regard to stigma. We hypothesize that both have an impact on professional-care seeking within the…

Educational inequalities in general health
Educational tracking amplifies social inequalities in a wide range of outcomes. From an institutional perspective, the current study examines whether this holds for educational disparities in general health. To investigate this question, we use information from the European Social Survey (Rounds 1-8: 2002-2016) for individuals between the ages of 18 and 45 years ( N = 99,771) in 22 European countries. The estimated three-level hierarchical models…

Do comprehensive school reforms impact the health of early school leavers? Results of a comparative difference-in-difference design
The Reversal of the Gender Gap in Education
Recent studies have indicated that the relationship between education and health differs between men and women. In line with the resource substitution theory, these studies demonstrate that women receive greater health returns to an additional year of schooling than men do. In this article, we argue that this female advantage in the effect of education can change across different socio-historical contexts. In particular, we investigate the impact…
