Depressive symptoms, education, gender and history of migration - an intersectional analysis using data from the German National Cohort (Nako)
We observed a robust educational gradient in depressive symptoms, but gender and history of migration had substantial contribution on the magnitude of educational inequalities. An intersectional perspective on inequalities in depressive symptoms enhances current knowledge by showing that different social dimensions may intersect and contribute to inequalities in depressive symptoms. Future studies on inequalities in depression may greatly benefit…
Forgone and delayed care in Germany– inequalities and perceived health risk of unmet need
Unmet need is a prevailing issue in Germany and associated with perceived worsening of health, various indicators of social inequality, and health insurance. Reducing waiting times (e.g. through the further development of appointment service centres) and private co-payments as well as ensuring health care provision in deprived areas can contribute to a decrease of barrier-related unmet need and health risks. However, more in-depth studies are req…
Family Health Partner’: A New Advisory Service for Parents With Children in Need of Care
Background Families with a child in need of care are exposed to great stress. This leads to risks that often result in a poor living and care situation for families. To support them, an innovative, regionally anchored advisory service is being developed by so‐called Family Health Partners (German acronym: FGP) as part of the NEST project. This article describes the results of the effectiveness of FGP for families with children in need of care 6, …
Intersectional inequalities in health anxiety: Multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy in the Soma.SOC study
Background: Intersectional approaches are needed to disaggregate the complex interaction of social identities contributing to (mental) health disparities. Health anxiety represents an overlooked public mental health issue. Therefore, intersectional inequalities in health anxiety were examined using multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA). Methods: = 2,413). Health anxiety was assessed with the Whiteley…
Public knowledge and beliefs about the irritable bowel syndrome - results from the Soma.SOC study
Results indicate low levels of public knowledge about IBS regarding illness recognition in Germany. A majority disagreed that they have good knowledge about IBS symptoms. Against this background, it seems reasonable to develop and test interventions to improve IBS literacy by increasing knowledge about symptoms, causes and treatment options
Decline in Mental Health in the Beginning of the Covid-19 Outbreak Among European Older Adults—Associations With Social Factors, Infection Rates, and Government Response
Objective: Governments across the world have deployed a wide range of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Certain NPIs, like limiting social contacts or lockdowns, had negative consequences for mental health in the population. Especially elder people are prone to mental illnesses during the current pandemic. This article investigates how social factors, infections rates, and stringency of NPIs are associated…
Data quality of reported child immunization coverage in 194 countries between 2000 and 2019
Analyzing immunization coverage data is crucial to guide decision-making in national immunization programs and monitor global initiatives such as the Immunization Agenda 2030. We aimed to assess the quality of reported child immunization coverage data for 194 countries over 20 years. We analyzed child immunization coverage as reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) between 2000–2019 by all W…
Burdening and Protective Organisational Factors among International Volunteers in Greek Refugee Camps—A Qualitative Study
A majority of the workforce in the humanitarian aid consists of volunteers who partly suffer from health problems related to their voluntary service. To date, only a fraction of the current research focuses on this population. The aim of this qualitative explorative study was to identify burdening and protective organisational factors for health and well-being among humanitarian aid volunteers in a Greek refugee camp. To this end, interviews with…
Performance: An R Package for Assessment, Comparison and Testing of Statistical Models
A crucial part of statistical analysis is evaluating a model's quality and fit, or performance. During analysis, especially with regression models, investigating the fit of models to data also often involves selecting the best fitting model amongst many competing models. Upon investigation, fit indices should also be reported both visually and numerically to bring readers in on the investigative effort.
Health Patterns among Migrant and Non-Migrant Middle- and Older-Aged Individuals in Europe—Analyses Based on Share 2004–2017
An increasing health gap in physical functioning in men is evidence of cumulative disadvantage. In women, evidence points towards the hypothesis of aging-as-leveler. These different results highlight the need for specific interventions focused on healthy ageing in elderly migrant men
Effectsize: Estimation of Effect Size Indices and Standardized Parameters
Extracting, Computing and Exploring the Parameters of Statistical Models using R
The recent growth of data science is partly fueled by the ever-growing amount of data and the joint important developments in statistical modeling, with new and powerful models and frameworks becoming accessible to users. Although there exist some generic functions to obtain model summaries and parameters, many package-specific modeling functions do not provide such methods to allow users to access such valuable information.
Lost in Transition: Health Care Experiences of Adults Born Very Preterm—A Qualitative Approach
Introduction: Adults Born Very Preterm (ABP) are an underperceived but steadily increasing patient population. It has been shown that they face multiple physical, mental and emotional health problems as they age. Very little is known about their specific health care needs beyond childhood and adolescence. This article focuses on their personal perspectives: it explores how they feel embedded in established health care structures and points to hea…
Protective Behavior in Course of the Covid-19 Outbreak—Survey Results From Germany
Objective: The COVID-19 outbreak means far-reaching changes in the organization of daily lives. Disease-related literacy and factors like age, gender or education play a major role in shaping individual practices of protective behavior. This paper investigates different types and frequency of practicing protective behaviors, as well as socio-demographic factors that are associated with such behavioral change. Methods: Data stem from a cross-secti…
Social Inequalities and Loneliness as Predictors of Ageing Well: A Trend Analysis Using Mixed Models
Background : This study examines if education, income, and loneliness are associated with physical functioning and optimism in an ageing population in Germany. Furthermore, time trends of physical functioning and optimism as well as of associations with social inequality and loneliness are analyzed. Methods : The German Ageing Survey (DEAS), a longitudinal population-based survey of individuals aged 40 years and older, was used (four waves betwee…
BayestestR: Describing Effects and their Uncertainty, Existence and Significance within the Bayesian Framework
Makowski et al., (2019). bayestestR: Describing Effects and their Uncertainty, Existence and Significance within the Bayesian Framework. Journal of Open Source Software, 4(40), 1541, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.01541
Indices of Effect Existence and Significance in the Bayesian Framework
Turmoil has engulfed psychological science. Causes and consequences of the reproducibility crisis are in dispute. With the hope of addressing some of its aspects, Bayesian methods are gaining increasing attention in psychological science. Some of their advantages, as opposed to the frequentist framework, are the ability to describe parameters in probabilistic terms and explicitly incorporate prior knowledge about them into the model. These issues…
Social Relationships, Age and the Use of Preventive Health Services: Findings from the German Ageing Survey
This paper investigates the associations between social relationships, age and the use of preventive health services among German adults. Data stem from the German Ageing Survey (10,324 respondents). The use of preventive health services was assessed by asking for regular use of flu vaccination and cancer screening in the past years. Predictors of interest were structural (having a partner, size of the social network) and functional aspects of so…
Educational inequalities in self-rated health and social relationships – analyses based on the European Social Survey 2002-2016
Ggeffects: Tidy Data Frames of Marginal Effects from Regression Models
Results of regression models, like estimates, are typically presented as tables that are easy to understand. Sometimes pure estimates are not helpful and difficult to interpret. This is especially true for interaction terms in logistic regression or even more complex models, or transformed terms (quadratic or cubic terms, polynomials, splines), where the estimates are no longer interpretable in a direct way. In such cases, marginal effects are fa…

BACKGROUND: Analyses are focused on 3 research questions: (1) Are there absolute and relative income-related inequalities in functional limitations among the aged in Europe? (2) Did the absolute and relative income-related inequalities in functional limitations among the aged change between 2002 and 2014? (3) Are there differences in the changes of income-related inequalities between European countries? METHODS: Data stem from 7 waves (2002-2014)…
Income, financial barriers to health care and public health expenditure: A multilevel analysis of 28 countries
Patient centredness in integrated care: Results of a qualitative study based on a systems theoretical framework
Networks based on formal contracts may restrict professional autonomy and competition. Contractual bindings that suppress the competitive environment have negative consequences for patient-centred care. Drawbacks remain due to missing self-regulation of the network. To conclude, less regimentation of integrated care partnerships is recommended
