This study aims to analyze the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to reduce health inequalities in Europe and identify the level of gender innovation as a quality criterion. An umbrella review was conducted to gather recent scientific evidence on community and/or health sector interventions in Europe aim …
Underrepresentation of Women in Universities
Three decades after the implementation of gender equality policies in Europe, women academics continue to languish in the ivory basements of higher education centers. A growing body of literature on the participation of women academics in universities has identified reproductive work as a factor that may explain their low levels of representation. Recent research on the effects of COVID‐19 on academic work has shed light on the impact of this “pr…
Unconventional data, unprecedented insights
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted new interest in non-traditional data sources to inform response efforts and mitigate knowledge gaps. While non-traditional data offers some advantages over traditional data, it also raises concerns related to biases, representativity, informed consent and security vulnerabilities. This study focuses on three specific types of non-traditional data: mobility, social media, and participatory surveillance …

By using a participatory approach, this methodological article analyses an Empowerment Evaluation experience within the European RoMoMatteR project. This project, which focuses on the notion of reproductive justice, has involved a group of R…

Gender Sensitivity in the National Roma Integration Strategies of Member States of the European Union
A large part of the European Roma community faces prejudices, discrimination, and social exclusion. This situation is more visible in Roma women. This study assesses gender sensitivity in the National Roma Integration Strategies (NRIS) of the Member States of the European Union. To do so, an adapted ad hoc tool was applied to the twenty-seven NRIS documents, making it possible to identify gender sensitivity in its “symbolic dimension”—declaration…
Covid-19 Crisis
The aim of this study is to analyse the impact that COVID-19 has had on the Roma population, showing results of a telephone interview on a sample of 592 Roma households in phase 0 of confinement. This study has been developed by means of an alliance in which researchers from the public universities of Alicante and Navarre and the Health Institute Carlos III have participated, as well as several Roma associations. The results reflect the significa…
Coeducation and gender equality in education systems
The purpose of this article is to analyse the typology of interventions that have been implemented to promote coeducation. We carried out a systematic selection process, which delivered 18 articles that were included into this Scoping Review. Our study found that there are still scarce experiences of coeducational interventions within the education system. Also, the study reveals how the coeducational interventions have focussed mainly on access,…

Vision and Hearing Health Inequities in the Roma population
Is health a right for all? An umbrella review of the barriers to health care access faced by migrants
OBJECTIVE: To synthesise the scientific evidence concerning barriers to health care access faced by migrants. We sought to critically analyse this evidence with a view to guiding policies. DESIGN: A systematic review methodology was used to identify systematic and scoping reviews which quantitatively or qualitatively analysed data from primary studies. The main variables analysed were structural and contextual barriers (health system organisation…
The social class gradient in health in Spain and the health status of the Spanish Roma
Roma people are placed on an extreme position on the social gradient in health, a situation of extreme health inequality
Reducing visual deficits caused by refractive errors in school and preschool children
BACKGROUND: Refractive error is defined as the inability of the eye to bring parallel rays of light into focus on the retina, resulting in nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (Hyperopia) or astigmatism. Uncorrected refractive error in children is associated with increased morbidity and reduced educational opportunities. Vision screening (VS) is a method for identifying children with visual impairment or eye conditions likely to lead to visua…

The effect of perceived discrimination on the health of immigrant workers in Spain
Discrimination may constitute a risk factor for health in immigrant workers in Spain and could explain some health inequalities among immigrant populations in Spanish society
Mapping violence against women laws in the world
The outer hair cells in the mammalian cochlea are cellular actuators essential for sensitive hearing. The geometry and stiffness of the structural scaffold surrounding the outer hair cells will determine how the active cells shape mammalian hearing by modulating the organ of Corti (OoC) vibrations. Specifically, the tectorial membrane and the Deiters cell are mechanically in series with the outer hair cell’s hair bundle and soma, respectively. Th…
Perceived Sexism as a Health Determinant in Spain
This study shows a consistent association between perceived sexism and poor health outcomes in a country of southern Europe with a strong patriarchal tradition
Verbal Marital Conflict and Male Domination in the Family as Risk Factors of Intimate Partner Violence
A systematic review was performed to analyse the characteristics and quality of the studies that consider the relationship between verbal marital conflict and/or male domination in the family and violent behaviour by men towards their partner. Only 11 articles were identified between 1986 and 2006. Most of them find a positive association between male domination in the family and/or verbal marital conflict and violence towards the woman in the co…
Factores económicos relacionados con los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio en salud
OBJECTIVES: To systematize all the information published on the status of and progress made toward the Health-related Millennium Development Goals (HMDGs), as well as to understand associations with certain economic factors and the potential for success. METHODS: A search was conducted for all scientific articles covering the Millennium Development Goals in general, published from 1 January 2000 to 31 August 2006, in the electronic databases of t…
The Environmental Millennium Development Goal
How political epidemiology research can address why the millennium development goals have not been achieved
The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) progress targets have not been met. Nevertheless, the United Nations (UN) has not yet undertaken in-depth review in order to discover the reasons behind this lack of progress in achieving the MDG. From a political epidemiology perspective, the intention here is to identify the political elements affecting the social factors impeding MDG fulfilment and, at the same time, to suggest future public policies and …
