In 2000, legislation was passed in Israel to foster rehabilitation and integration in the community of persons with mental health disorders.

Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression examined associations between sociodemographic characteristics and perce…

METHODS AND FINDINGS: Household surveys with a combined sample size of 85,052 were carried out in the Americas (Colombia, Mexico, United…
Educational inequalities in mortality among Israeli Jews
Lopez-Quintero Et Al. Respond
A reduction in smoking rates in the United States represents one of the main public health achievements of the past 3 decades. Multiple strategies for smoking cessation at the macro level (e.g., restricted access to tobacco and restricted exposure to tobacco-promoting messages) and to a somewhat lesser extent at the individual level (e.g., behavioral and pharmacological cessation strategies) have contributed to this success.1,2 These intervention…
