Commonly cited approaches to reducing health inequalities
Addressing health inequalities is an international priority. Various approaches have gained popularity in the academic literature and policy-making documents. However, there has been a lack of progress in tackling health inequalities. We outline the main characteristics and principles of five commonly cited approaches: asset-based, place-based, upstream, systems-based and proportionate universalism. We examine how these approaches are described i…
Implementation and effects of social protection programs for children, older adults, and people with disabilities in Brazil and Ecuador
We conducted a scoping review to investigate planned (intentional) and unplanned (not intentional) effects of social protection on socioeconomic determinants of health (SDH) and health inequalities among children, adolescents, elders and people with disabilities, and their caregivers. We reviewed seven programs in (i) Brazil ( Programa Bolsa Familia (BFP) and Beneficio de Prestacao Continuada (BPC)), and (ii) Ecuador ( Bono de Desarrolo Humano (B…
Incorporating an equity perspective in systematic reviews of interventions
Health inequities are unnecessary, avoidable and unjust differences in health across social groups. Addressing them is a priority for governments and health systems worldwide, requiring not only specific interventions targeting inequity but also embedding equity across all decision-making. Systematic reviews of interventions underpin health decision-making and could, therefore, be a key mechanism to address inequities, but most reviews are limite…

Natural experiments for the evaluation of place-based public health interventions
Introduction Place-based public health evaluations are increasingly making use of natural experiments. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the design and use of natural experiment evaluations (NEEs), and an assessment of the plausibility of the as-if randomization assumption. Methods A systematic search of three bibliographic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science and Ovid-Medline) was conducted in January 2020 to capture publications …
The effect of school summer holidays on inequalities in children and young people’s mental health and cognitive ability in the UK using data from the millennium cohort study
We found inequalities in mental health and cognitive ability according to maternal education, and some evidence or worsening mental health and mental health inequalities across school summer holidays. We found little evidence of widening inequalities in verbal cognitive ability. Widespread school closures during the COVID-19 restrictions have prompted concerns that prolonged closures may widen health and educational inequalities. Management of sc…
Adapting interventions to new contexts—the Adapt guidance
Implementing interventions with a previous evidence base in new contexts might be more efficient than developing new interventions for each context. Although some interventions transfer well, effectiveness and implementation often depend on the context. Achieving a good fit between intervention and context then requires careful and systematic adaptation. This paper presents new evidence and consensus informed guidance for adapting and transferrin…

The cost of school holidays for children from low income families
School holidays can be stressful periods for children from low-income families. Poor provision of appropriate childcare, limited access to enrichment activities, and food insecurity mean that children's health and well-being can suffer and their learning stagnate or decline. This article examines and documents the evidence that has emerged on this topic and aims to raise its profile and the impact on children's lives. It makes the case for furthe…
