Health worker unemployment in countries with critical health worker shortages
INTRODUCTION: There have been increasing concerns about the overproduction of the health workforce in low- and middle-income countries, leading to unemployment, even as recent literature and country reports point to concurrent shortages based on population health needs. This paradox underscores the need for analyses that synthesise and reconcile these contrasting phenomena. METHODS: This is a rapid review of evidence of unemployment for countries…
GDP per capita and physician migration across world regions, 2000–2021
Physician migration is a problem of international concern, and studies have attempted to determine whether macroeconomic and developmental factors predict nationwide decreases in physician migration. Like the nutritional and epidemiologic transitions, there is an understood “migration transition” as well, with migration levels for highly educated individuals decreasing as national income increases. This approach can provide insights into the macr…
Adult hospitalizations from immigration detention in Louisiana and Texas, 2015–2018
Poor health conditions within immigration detention facilities have attracted significant concerns from policymakers and activists alike.

Although critical for understanding health labour market trends in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), longitudinal LMIC health worker emigration and return migration trends are not routinely documented. This article seeks to better understand SA’s trends in physician emigration and return migration and whether economic growth and related policies affect migration patterns. This study used physician registry data to analyse patterns of emig…

METHODS: This study used an observational design with paper questionnaire and interview components. Our sample was drawn from attendees…
Using Social Networking Sites in Subject Tracing
Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace provide a novel method for tracing subjects in longitudinal research studies. This article describes how the southern site of the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN) consortium used Facebook and MySpace to follow-up subjects inaccessible to traditional means of contact. A search conducted on both sites for the profiles of 151 subjects not located by traditional means yiel…
