    Open AccessAbdallah S Daar, Marian Jacobs et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    Urgent action is needed to address mental health issues globally. In Africa, where mental health disorders account for a huge burden of disease and disability, and where in general less than 1% of the already small health budgets are spent on these disorders, the need for action is acute and urgent. Members of the World Health Organization, including African countries, have adopted a Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan. Africa now has an hist…

    Open AccessSiddhivinayak Hirve, Francesc Xavier Gómez-Olivé et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2013

Anchoring vignettes is a technique that allows identifying and adjusting self-rating responses for reporting heterogeneity (RH). OBJECTIVE: This article aims to test two crucial assumptions of vignette equivalence (VE) and response consistency (RC) that are required to be met before vignettes can be used to adjust…

    Open AccessStig Wall, Peter Bya et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    A recent (January 2010) editorial in The Lancet addressing the “perils of journal and supplement publishing” states in no unclear terms that the publishing of commercially sponsored supplements is “firmly off the agenda” for The Lancet.

    Open AccessNawi Ng, Mohammad Hakimi et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    INTRODUCTION: Increasing life expectancy and longevity for people in many highly populated low- and middle-income countries has led to an increase in the number of older people. The population aged 60 years and over in Indonesia is projected to increase from 8.4% in 2005 to 25% in 2050. Understanding the determinants of healthy ageing is essential in targeting health-promotion programmes for older people in Indonesia. OBJECTIVE: To describe patte…

  • Health inequalities among older men and women in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessNawi Ng, Paul Kowal et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    BACKGROUND: Declining rates of fertility and mortality are driving demographic transition in all regions of the world, leading to global population ageing and consequently changing patterns of global morbidity and mortality. Understanding sex-related health differences, recognising groups at risk of poor health and identifying determinants of poor health are therefore very important for both improving health trajectories and planning for the heal…

A collaboration between the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult h…
