Children’s Perception of the Neighbourhood as a Social Determinant of Health – a qualitative study
This article explores children’s perspectives on their neighbourhood and the meaning it holds for their health and well-being. Currently, there is a lack of understanding on how children perceive environmental risks and resources present in their neighbourhood, as research often focuses on adult viewpoints. Before a joint framework of Children’s Rights and the Social Determinants of Health, we focus on the perspectives of children growing up in d…
Care delay during the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany – a cross-sectional online survey in the Nako study
During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-COVID-19 related healthcare utilization declined in Germany, resulting in care delay, including delays and cancellations of routine, chronic, and even acute care. The aim of this study was to investigate factors (i.e. regional differences and participant characteristics) associated with care delay during the pandemic in Germany using a cross-sectional survey. In October 2022, a total of 117,466 participants from …
What can we learn from an intersectionality-informed description of study participants? Results from the German National Cohort
Our results showed that heterogeneity within social categories can be revealed by applying the concept of intersectionality when comparing study participants with an external population. This way, an intersectionality-informed approach contributes to describing social complexity among study participants more precisely. Furthermore, results can be used to reduce participation barriers in a more targeted way
The violence of reproductive injustice
To promote more equitable and inclusive contraceptive counseling, we recommend advancing gender-responsive research, expanding the rights-based and psychosocial counseling offered by different health professionals (and not just physicians), and enhancing gynecology training programs to better prepare gynecologists for contraceptive counseling. Ultimately, these measures aim to transform contraceptive care into a more equitable, informed, and pati…
Area-Level Factors of Dental Caries in Children and Adolescents in European Neighborhoods — a Systematic Review
Wealth as an important (and commonly ignored) dimension of socioeconomic status in epidemiology
Social epidemiological studies have shown for decades that wealth shows associations to various health outcomes in addition to more frequently used and established indicators like income, education and occupational status. Measurements of income alone are not able to assess the economic position and resources of individuals, while they neglect transgenerational and cumulative pathways of shaping socioeconomic status (SES) and their impact on heal…
Under the Radar
Universities are commonly imagined as “enlightened institutions” that leave no room for discrimination. While studies from other countries and some studies from German universities cast doubt on this notion, the extent and characteristics of university students’ experiences of discrimination in Germany are not yet sufficiently researched. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess university students’ experiences of discrimination in a cross-…
The police came in white protective suits and with batons, it was pure disaster” – a multi-stakeholder perspective on infection control in reception centers for asylum seekers during the Covid-19 pand…
The study highlights that shelters are problematic institutions from a public health perspective. It shows the importance of implementing customized pandemic interventions in refugee shelters that take account of the diverse needs and experiences of both refugee and staff. To achieve this, we recommend to establish an ethics committee and involve various stakeholders in decision-making processes. Additionally, enhancing information dissemination …
Segregated by Wealth, Health, and Development
The School Entry Examination (SEE) can be used to identify children with current health issues, developmental delays, and risk factors for later diseases. This study analyzes the health status of preschool children in a German city with considerable socio-economic differences among its quarters. We used secondary data from SEEs 2016-2019 from the entire city (8417 children), which we divided into quarters with low (LSEB), medium (MSEB), and high …
Sick and Tired—Sociodemographic and Psychosocial Characteristics of Asylum Seekers Awaiting an Appointment for Psychotherapy
Improving asylum seekers' access to the German health system is urgently needed in order to prevent unnecessary suffering in the future and to comply with EU law
Dental Care for Asylum-Seekers in Germany
Background: The growing immigration to Germany led to more patients whose medical needs are divergent from those of the domestic population. In the field of dental health care there is a debate about how well the German health system is able to meet the resulting challenges. Data on asylum-seekers' dental health is scarce. This work is intended to reduce this data gap. Methods: We conducted this retrospective observational study in Halle (Saale),…
Health-Related Disparities among Migrant Children at School Entry in Germany. How does the Definition of Migration Status Matter
Background : Migration background is known to be an important risk factor for a number of medical outcomes. Still, relatively little is known about the epidemiologic relevance of different definitions of migration status. Methods : Data from 5250 school entry examinations spanning three consecutive years (2015-2017) were gathered from the Public Health Department in Halle, Germany. Data were stratified according to six different migration statuse…
