Prevalence, trends and inequalities of childhood undernutrition according to a Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (Ciaf)
HIV care continuity for women in postconflict Tigray
INTRODUCTION: The Tigray War (November 2020-November 2022) caused catastrophic health system collapse in northern Ethiopia, with substantial excess mortality and near-total destruction of health infrastructure. The impact on HIV care services remains poorly documented. We comprehensively assessed HIV care continuum recovery across prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), HIV-exposed infant care and cervical cancer screening among women…
Client perceptions and satisfaction with HIV care clinic services in post-conflict Tigray, Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: The 2020-2022 Tigray conflict affected health infrastructure, antiretroviral therapy (ART) supply chains, and continuity of HIV care. Assessing patient satisfaction during the recovery period is important to monitor service quality and inform service improvement. This study aimed to (i) measure the level of patient satisfaction among people living with HIV (PLHIV) receiving ART in post-conflict Mekelle City, (ii) model the relationshi…
Strategies for collaborative mental health care in post-conflict Tigray
Background There is a significant mental health service gap in Sub-Saharan Africa, with many people relying on traditional healers due to factors such as limited resources and conflict. While mental health collaborative care provision between traditional and biomedical providers is recommended, this recommendation lacks context-specific strategies for post-conflict Tigray. This study explores and identifies strategies for collaborative care provi…

BACKGROUND: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, and attributable burden of disease for 88 ri…
Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality,…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
Public values to guide childhood vaccination mandates
OBJECTIVE: Governments use vaccination mandates, of different degrees of coerciveness, to encourage or require childhood vaccination. We elicited the views of well-informed community members on the public acceptability of using childhood vaccination mandates in Australia. METHODS: Four community juries were conducted in Canberra, Launceston, Cairns and Melbourne, Australia between 2021 and 2022. We recruited 51 participants from diverse backgroun…

EVIDENCE REVIEW: The GBD 2019 estimation methods were used t…
Understanding mental health from the perception of Middle Eastern refugee women
Women from a refugee background suffer higher psychological distress levels than men with a refugee background. Conceptualisation of mental health plays an important role in using mental health services for people from refugee groups. The purpose of this review is to synthesize literature describing how Middle Eastern refugee women perceive mental health and its influence on mental health service utilisation. The review is registered with Prosper…
‘Get your own house in order’
OBJECTIVE: Communities with high levels of vaccine rejection present unique challenges to vaccine-preventable disease outbreak management. We sought perspectives of nonvaccinating parents to inform public health responses in such communities. METHODS: Nineteen purposively sampled nonvaccinating Australian parents participated in one of seven online dialogue groups. We asked what they thought parents, school principals and public health profession…
Global, regional, and national progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health
BACKGROUND: Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction of neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and reduction of death of children younger than 5 years to less than 25 per 1000 livebirths, for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, and potential trajectories of child mortality for the next decade, we present the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, a…

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) during COVID-19 in Bangladesh. Methods: We conducted qualitative research among healthcare professional…
Barriers to employment of Australian cancer survivors living with geographic or socio‐economic disadvantage
BACKGROUND: Opportunities for cancer survivors' employment can both reflect and perpetuate health inequities, as employment is an important social determinant of health. Socio-economic and geographic disadvantage is associated with greater difficulty finding work, but little is known about work needs of Australian cancer survivors living with disadvantage. OBJECTIVE: This study examined survivor and health-care professional (HCP) perspectives on …

Trust in the health system
Social theory provides a lens through which we can analyse the role of trust in health systems. However, the majority of theoretically informed trust literature addresses ‘institutional’ or ‘interpersonal’ trust individually, failing to investigate trust as determined by a ‘web’ of mutually interacting relationships between individuals and social systems. Current theoretical assumptions are also problematic as they fail to recognise the role that…
Ethical Use of Social Media to Facilitate Qualitative Research
Increasingly, qualitative health researchers might consider using social media to facilitate communication with participants. Ambiguity surrounding the potential risks intrinsic to social media could hinder ethical conduct and discourage use of this innovative method. We used some core principles of traditional human research ethics, that is, respect, integrity, and beneficence, to design our photo elicitation research that explored the social in…
Moral Fiber
What are the symbolic meanings of breakfast in the context of one of Australia's largest childhood obesity intervention programs? Utilizing a range of theoretical insights into the morality of food and eating and the anthropology of food, we trace how breakfast is packaged and promoted to families in an Australian community as a 'healthy start' to the day. Through ethnographic and historic investigation, we argue that eating breakfast and certain…
We shed tears, but there is no one there to wipe them up for us
This article reports on a qualitative study in a materially deprived locality in northern England, which originally aimed to explore local residents' views of proposed changes to local health care provision. However, participants also quickly moved the research agenda onto widespread discussions of (mis)trust. Unlike much sociological literature that defines trust as operating on two levels (inter-personal and system-based), their narratives of t…

Twenty-seven face-to-face interviews were undertaken and thematic content analysis was used to analyse the data. The following three themes emerged from the data…
Last Man Picked. Do Mainstream Historians Need to Play with Sports Historians
This polemical essay explores whether ‘mainstream’ political and social historians need to engage with the history of sport. It recounts the coercive nature of the author's encounters with sports and sports history and suggests that greater integration of the history of sport into histories of Britain relies on a mutual understanding of the imperatives of academic historians, not least in the world of the Research Excellence Framework and the ‘im…
Further challenges to medical dominance? The case of nurse and pharmacist supplementary prescribing
Doctors have traditionally been viewed as the dominant healthcare profession, with the authority to prescribe medicines, but recent non-medical prescribing initiatives have been viewed as possible challenges to such dominance. Using the example of the introduction of supplementary prescribing in the UK, this study sought to explore whether such initiatives represent a challenge to medical authority. Ten case study sites in England involving prima…
Women of Britain Say Go
This article examines the actions of some aristocratic and middle-class women in the First World War. Many such women actively participated in the war effort, displaying a sense of patriotism in a variety of ways both in domestic and public spheres. Such patriotism was remarkably sustained, though not unchanging, continuing through to the end of the war. Contact with ‘shirkers’, ‘aliens’, and air raids reinforced the strength of these women's pat…
The effect of manipulating context-specific information on perceptual-cognitive processes during a simulated anticipation task
We manipulated contextual information in order to examine the perceptual-cognitive processes that support anticipation using a simulated cricket-batting task. Skilled (N= 10) and less skilled (N= 10) cricket batters responded to video simulations of opponents bowling a cricket ball under high and low contextual information conditions. Skilled batters were more accurate, demonstrated more effective search behaviours, and provided more detailed ver…
Socialists and ‘True’ Patriotism in Britain in the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries
The relationships between socialism, national identity and patriotism have generated a large literature dating back to Marx’s dictum: ‘The working men have no country.’ Much of that literature focused on the supposed incompatibilities between socialism and patriotism. In Britain, most socialists simply got on with it and were in various ways patriotic all the same. This paper discusses the orgins and characteristics of a left-wing patriotism deve…

The Use of Statistically Weighted Characteristics in the Selection of Foster Parents
In a review of literature dealing with the selection of foster homes, Taylor and Starr (1967) reported a general lack of sound empirical approach to this problem. Foy (1967) pointed out that the existing guidelines used in selection are of an unpragmatic and atomistic quality and consist mainly of abstractly expressed norms difficult to apply in practice, and argued that the guidelines needed for workers concerned with foster-home placements shou…

Preparing for the People's War
In the 1930s the Labour Party was engaged in an intense debate over the direction of its foreign policy in response to the rise of expansionist fascist powers in Europe. The left of the party rejected rearmament by the National government. Others, like Hugh Dalton, called for rearmament. Some historians have seen this second stance as incompatible with socialism, describing it as an adjustment to reality. This article argues that the Labour re-ar…

Perceptual-Cognitive Expertise in Sport
Research focusing on perceptual-cognitive skill in sport is abundant. However, the existing qualitative syntheses of this research lack the quantitative detail necessary to determine the magnitude of differences between groups of varying levels of skills, thereby limiting the theoretical and practical contribution of this body of literature.
