Social determinants of mental health in Italy
Mental health is impacted by social, economic, and environmental factors, the Social Determinants of Health (SDH). Migrants experiencing precarious living and working conditions may be more at risk of poor mental health than the majority population.This paper aims to evaluate the relationship of educational attainment and other SDH with depressive symptoms among the resident population, including Italians and migrants.This study examined the resp…
Increasing gaps in health inequalities related to non-communicable diseases in South Australia; implications towards behavioural risk factor surveillance systems to provide evidence for action
Surveillance can be a good source of information both to show the evolution of problems and to evaluate possible future interventions. Extensive effort is still required to "close the gap" of health inequalities in SA. More precisely targeted and properly implemented interventions are needed
Comparison of Health and Risk Factors of Older, Working-age Australians, Italians and Italian-born Migrants to Australia, with Data from an Italian (Passi), and an Australian (SAMSS) Risk Factor Surve…
Italian-born migrants (post-WWII) are the largest non-English-speaking background migrant group in South Australia. A cross-sectional, inter-country comparison using independent samples (40-69 years of age) from two (one in Australia, one in Italy) similar risk factor and chronic disease surveillance systems. None of the three groups (Italians, Australian-born and Italian-born Australians) had definitively worse health although the Italians had h…
Socio-economic differences in healthcare access from a welfare system perspective, Italy
Inequalities between poorer and wealthier people in accessing healthcare services have been widely studied, but the mechanisms generating them are still to be fully understood. Among these, there is still a lack of evidence of relationships between health prevention/health promotion policies, welfare systems and social differences. We analysed 68 201 females from the PASSI Italian surveillance system for the years 2007-2010. The prevalence of wom…
Application of the varying coefficient model to the behaviour risk factor surveillance data in Italy
The application of the VCM to the BRFS data in Italy has shown that this method can be useful in detecting which sub-populations require interventions. Although the results have shown a decrease in the odds of being a smoker for certain age groups and non-drinkers, other sub-populations have not decreased their odds and health inequalities remain. This observation indicates that efforts and interventions are still required to target these non-cha…
Demographic Trends in Alcohol Use
This study presents multiple consumption-related variables over time and has highlighted important demographic variations in alcohol consumption
P1-293 Involving local community
Introduction When monitoring population health-related behaviours it is important to assess the effectiveness of delivering health related information to specific target groups such that any need for improved communication can be identified. The Italian Behavioural Risk Factors Surveillance System Passi is conducted through Local Health Units (LHUs) personnel interviewing a random sample of 18–69 year olds monthly. PinC, the Programme of Informat…
Enhancing global capacity in the surveillance, prevention, and control of chronic diseases
BACKGROUND: Chronic diseases are now a major health problem in developing countries as well as in the developed world. Although chronic diseases cannot be communicated from person to person, their risk factors (for example, smoking, inactivity, dietary habits) are readily transferred around the world. With increasing human progress and technological advance, the pandemic of chronic diseases will become an even bigger threat to global health. METH…
Evaluating the effectiveness of health promotion policy
The purpose of the study was to determine the utility of general population health surveillance data for evaluating broad policy changes that relate to health promotion. Data were drawn from the United States (US) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for one US state, California. Because these data are collected frequently and continually, a quasi-experimental approach to the evaluation was possible using a type of interrupted time …
The clinical and economic efficacy of Haart
This study describes epidemiological, clinical and economic impact of the HIV epidemic in Italy prior to and after the introduction of HAART. A prospective, observational, multi-center design was applied using data collected on an AIDS cohort from 1994 and updated data from a comparable cohort in 1998. Mortality and direct medical costs were measured in 251 AIDS patients in 1994 and 77 AIDS patients in 1998. A considerable difference was observed…
Association between diarrhea and quality of life in HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy
Siegel Et Al. Respond
In our article, we presented the results of a study from which we concluded that a change in the 1992 BRFSS questionnaire wording caused a reduction in the measured prevalence of mammography screening, especially among Black women and women with less than a high school education. Berumen points out that the Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act, passed by Congress in 1990, may have increased mammography use among low-income women an…
The influence of socioeconomic status on health service utilisation by patients with Aids in North Italy
Sexual behavior and exposure to HIV infection
OBJECTIVES. The spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the general population has been a much debated topic in the mass media. The aim of this study was to create an approach to estimating the risk of exposure to HIV resulting from sexual behaviors. METHODS. A theoretical estimate was applied to data obtained from a large-scale risk factor survey carried out in Britain. An HIV infection-exposure risk index was constructed by ranking …
