Studying Health Inequalities in Colombia
The historical and global study of health inequalities includes diverse philosophical, conceptual and methodological debates on their causes, how best to study them, and how and where to intervene. However, not all the perspectives in the field are widely recognized or known worldwide; for instance, Latin America's long-standing intellectual tradition on Social Medicine and Collective Health. Also, evidence suggests that not all countries have ha…
Measuring Progress in Equitable Urban Sustainability
There is mounting evidence and concern that humanity is failing to equitably meet social needs while overshooting the Earth’s ecological boundaries. Efforts to monitor progress towards equitable urban sustainability have expanded significantly over the years; however, challenges remain in comprehensively assessing and comparing the progress made in different settings. To stimulate critical thinking and guide capacity-building efforts, we assessed…
Políticas públicas e intervenciones para prevenir el exceso de peso en México
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las políticas públicas e intervenciones (PPI) a nivel nacional vigentes a 2022 para la prevención del exceso de peso (sobrepeso y obesidad) en población adulta de México, desde una perspectiva interseccional. Se realizó un análisis documental de las estrategias para prevenir el exceso de peso en México en la adultez. Los documentos fueron analizados aplicando una metodología para el análisis de políticas b…
Improving spatial accessibility to health care services in Cali, Colombia
Objectives. To (i) ascertain stakeholders' perceptions of the contextual factors and resources necessary to successfully implement the AMORE platform, a tool that provides accessibility assessments for health care services, considering factors such travel time and traffic conditions, and (ii) identify potential barriers to and facilitators for enhancing spatial accessibility to health care services within the Colombian urban context. Methods. In …
How do superblock interventions influence health? A scoping review
Cities are implementing interventions to radically transform public space and urban transportation networks. While these interventions are urgently needed, many questions remain regarding their impacts on health, and how they can be effectively replicated. In the case of Superblock interventions, it is assumed they have the potential to significantly improve urban environments and health. This study aims to identify the empirical evidence on Supe…
Why and how Barcelona has become a health inequalities research hub? A realist explanatory case study
Despite the increase in global research on health inequalities, more needs to be done to strengthen efforts to inform local interventions. In this article, we ask what determines the local capacity to engage in research on health inequalities. A bibliometric analysis identified Spain as the 10th highest global contributor to this research field (1966–2015), yet a significant proportion of this production was affiliated to just a few institutions …
Towards a systemic understanding of sustainable wellbeing for all in cities
We are facing socio-ecological crises and failing to meet the basic needs of everyone in society whilst living within planetary boundaries. These interconnected problems are complex, which require urgent transdisciplinary efforts informed by theories of change. How can we address this in cities in a way that is equitable and sustainable, since cities are complex, dynamic ecosystems with interdependent relationships? What processes, dynamics and d…
Impact of Covid-19 inequalities on children
Societal concerns about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have largely focussed on the social groups most directly affected, such as the elderly and health workers. However, less focus has been placed on understanding the effects on other collectives, such as children. While children's physical health appears to be less affected than the adult population, their mental health, learning and wellbeing is likely to have been significantly negative…
The case for planetary health prevention
The lack of preparedness and the adoption of a reactive approach underlie many mistakes in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. We need a vision with a proactive approach to planetary health prevention, that is suited for addressing the neglected systemic determinants of health which generate disease, inequality and environmental degradation, and capable of anticipating known and unknown risks, and foreseeing possible threatening scenarios. To achieve…
What key conditions and mechanisms generate health inequalities research in different contexts? Study protocol for two realist explanatory case studies
Health equity monitoring is essential in public health
BACKGROUND: Countries must be able to describe and monitor their populations health and well-being needs in an attempt to understand and address them. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have re-emphasized the need to invest in comprehensive health information systems to monitor progress towards health equity; however, knowledge on the capacity of health information systems to be able do this, particularly in low-income countries, remains ve…
Project Integrate
This framework can be used as a stand-alone or combined tool to guide managers to plan and evaluate the care process design of people-centred integrated care services; future work should apply this tool to other settings
Inequalities in global health inequalities research
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence shows that health inequalities exist between and within countries, and emphasis has been placed on strengthening the production and use of the global health inequalities research, so as to improve capacities to act. Yet, a comprehensive overview of this evidence base is still needed, to determine what is known about the global and historical scientific production on health inequalities to date, how is it distribute…
Project Integrate - a common methodological approach to understand integrated health care in Europe
The application and evaluation of the common methodological approach aim to distill and identify important elements for successful integrated care, in order to strengthen the evidence base for integrated care (by facilitating cross-context comparisons), increase the transferability of findings from highly context-specific to other settings and lead to concrete and practical policy and operational recommendations
