  • Patient and public involvement in health technology assessments

    Open Access•Ferrán Catalá-López, Ernesto Ganuza et al.•ARTICLE•Gaceta Sanitaria•2026

    Patient and public involvement (PPI) is an essential component of Health Technology Assessment (HTA), as it enhances the relevance and transparency of evaluation processes. Nevertheless, the scope of such involvement varies considerably across contexts, and empirical evidence on current practices within the National Health System remains limited. This study will examine the extent to which HTA reports incorporate PPI and how these practices are p…

  • Gripp2

    Open Access•Ferrán Catalá-López, Ernesto Ganuza et al.•ARTICLE•Gaceta Sanitaria•2026

    Patient and public involvement in research contributes to improving the relevance of studies, although its reporting in the literature is inconsistent and lacks clarity. To enhance the transparency and quality of this involvement, the GRIPP2 (Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public) guidelines were developed, providing specific guidance for systematic and transparent reporting. This methodological note describes the adaptati…

  • Regulatory Approaches in the Face of a Pandemic

    Open Access•Salvador Parrado, Roberta Perna et al.•ARTICLE•Public Administration•2025•References: 24

    Regulatory instruments to manage the COVID‐19 pandemic have been the object of rich scholarly debates, primarily focused on early national responses to the crisis. We investigate variation in sub‐national regulatory approaches when a crisis is normalized, its association with competing political ideas about the health‐economy trade‐off and the coercion‐persuasion continuum, and the specificities of the socio‐economic context to be regulated. We s…

  • Reforming Long‐Term Care Provision and Work in Post‐Pandemic Times

    Open Access•Roberta Perna, Jorge Hernández-Moreno et al.•ARTICLE•Social Policy and Administration•2025•References: 6

    The COVID‐19 pandemic unveiled and magnified structural challenges of long‐term care (LTC) provision and work across Europe, bringing the need for reforms on the quality‐of‐care provision and work to the fore in several countries. Focusing on the case of Spain, this paper analyses to what extent the window of opportunity opened by the pandemic resulted in structural LTC reform, focusing on the scope and drivers of policy change/continuity. Relyin…

  • Intra-EU migration and healthcare deservingness

    Open Access•Roberta Perna, Sebastián Umpierrez De Reguero•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2025•References: 50

  • Civil society organisations and the healthcare of irregular migrants

    Open Access•Lorenzo Piccoli, Roberta Perna•ARTICLE•Comparative Migration Studies•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 26

    Individuals who reside in a country without regular authorisation generally find it difficult to access public medical services beyond emergency treatment. Even in countries with universal healthcare, there is often a gap between rights on paper and their implementation. Civil society organisations (CSOs) fill this gap by providing medical services to vulnerable populations, including irregular migrants. What, if any, are the ethical dilemmas tha…

  • Immigrant regularisation politics during Covid-19

    Open Access•Roberta Perna, María Puig Batalla•ARTICLE•South European Society & Politics•2023•References: 35

    The COVID-19 pandemic brought the issue of immigrant irregularity to the public fore, exposing undocumented migrants’ vulnerabilities and the reliance of supply chains on their ‘essential work’. While pro-regularisation instances emerged in several countries, governments responded differently to them. Delving into the political determinants of immigrant regularisation programmes, the article compares the cases of Italy and Spain, traditionally co…

  • Patient mobility within national borders. Drivers and politics of cross-border healthcare agreements in the Spanish decentralized system

    Open Access•Roberta Perna, Gibran Cruz-Martínez et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy•2022

  • Street-level workers, managers and institutional tensions

    Open Access•Roberta Perna•ARTICLE•Comparative Migration Studies•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 19

    Public organisations are fundamental actors in migrant incorporation processes, as they are in charge of assessing migrants’ entitlement and providing access to welfare services. While a lot has been written on the individual determinants of street-level decisions, the role of organisational and institutional factors in shaping implementation practices has received little attention so far. By linking the street-level bureaucracy approach and the …

  • Granting rights through illegalisation

    Roberta Perna•ARTICLE•Citizenship Studies•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 33

    Although Member states have increasingly relied on welfare policies to control intra-EU migration in the last decade, they often grant additional social rights to EU citizens who do not comply with residency requirements set by EU law, revealing a gap between declared restrictive aims and actual inclusive measures. Based on document analysis and semi-structured interviews in Belgium, this article analyses the interests and logics of the plurality…

  • Migration and Healthcare Reforms in Spain

    Open Access•María Bruquetas-Callejo, María Bruquetas‐callejo et al.•ARTICLE•South European Society & Politics•2020•Cited by: 5•References: 33

    Migrants’ healthcare entitlement represents a conflictive issue in the political battlefield, with research pointing towards the determinant role of party politics in determining policy outputs. Addressing the 2012 healthcare reform and 2018 counter-reform adopted in Spain by a right-wing and left-wing government respectively and drawing on qualitative analysis of parties’ discourses and policy measures, we argue that ideological differences alon…

  • Bound between care and control

    Roberta Perna•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2019•Cited by: 18•References: 24

    On the books, the inclusiveness of the Italian framework regulating healthcare access for migrants is indisputable. However, we might wonder how access takes shape on the front-line of the healthcare system, particularly in times of increasingly hostile institutional and discursive environments. By focusing on Italian migration and healthcare policies and the practices of health workers during their encounters with migrants in an irregular situat…

  • Migrant Health Policies. Actors and Levels in a Multi‐Level Perspective

    Open Access•Roberta Perna•ARTICLE•International Migration•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 10

    Until recently, migrant health policies have been overlooked as a topic of policy analysis. This contribution will bridge this gap, deconstructing the various actors and levels involved in migrant health policymaking from a multi‐level perspective. By critically reviewing migrant health policy research and discussing it with the new MIPEX Health Strand, this contribution suggests a more encompassing perspective in the analysis of migrant health p…
