The cost-saving impact of human papillomavirus self-sampling for cervical cancer screening in women workers at the manufacturing sector in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico
Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in Mexico, accounting for approximately 4,500 deaths annually. The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), which provides mandatory social security and healthcare for formal-sector workers, currently relies on conventional cervical cytology for early detection. To explore alternatives, a workplace-based pilot program introducing human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampl…
Innovations in Graduate Public Health Education
During the past 10 years, the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública (National Institute of Public Health) in Mexico has meticulously revised its educational model. This analysis resulted in the transformation of its educational model by tracing a new path in the pedagogical structure and faculty development to meet current challenges and students’ needs. The first stage dealt with the national and international accreditation standards that came wit…
Tax, price and cigarette brand preferences
Background Recent tax increases in Mexico differed in structure and provided an opportunity to better understand tobacco industry pricing strategies, as well as smokers’ responses to any resulting price changes. Objectives To assess if taxes were passed onto consumers of different cigarette brands, the extent of brand switching and predictors of preference for cheaper national brands. Methods Using data from three waves of the Mexican administrat…
Costos directos de atención médica en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en México
The high cost of providing medical care to patients with DM2 and its complications represents an economic burden that health institutions should consider in their budgets to enable them to offer quality service that is both adequate and timely. Using the micro-costing methodology allows an approximation to real data on utilization and management of the disease
Public policy for the poor? A randomised assessment of the Mexican universal health insurance programme
A “politically robust” experimental design for public policy evaluation, with application to the Mexican Universal Health Insurance program
We develop an approach to conducting large‐scale randomized public policy experiments intended to be more robust to the political interventions that have ruined some or all parts of many similar previous efforts. Our proposed design is insulated from selection bias in some circumstances even if we lose observations; our inferences can still be unbiased even if politics disrupts any two of the three steps in our analytical procedures; and other em…
Breast cancer in Mexican women
INTRODUCTION: In Mexico, breast cancer (BC) is one of the main causes of cancer deaths in women, with increasing incidence and mortality in recent years. Therefore, the aim of the study is identify possible risk factors related to BC. METHODS: An epidemiological study of hospital cases of BC and controls with cervical uterine cancer (CUCA) was carried out at eight third level concentration hospitals in Mexico City. The total of 353 incident cases…
Proposal to institutionalize criteria and quality standards for cervical cancer screening within a health care system
The uterine cervix is the most common cancer site for females. Approximately 52,000 new cases occur annually in Latin America, thus the need to improve efficiency and effectiveness of Cervical Cancer Screening Programs (CCSP) is mandatory to decrease the unnecessary suffering women must bear. This paper is addressing essential issues to revamp the CCSP as proposed by the Mexican official norm. A general framework for institutionaling CCSP is outl…
