Evaluability assessment as a design tool for complex health interventions: Insights from an EU-project on vaccine hesitancy
This work advances EA literature by demonstrating its utility in the design stage and, by reinforcing the early alignment of different components and multiple contexts, provides a replicable framework for planning complex health interventions. Future evaluators are encouraged to adopt this proactive approach for more effective public health strategies
Policy recommendations for healthcare authorities, organizations and professionals on vaccine hesitancy in Europe: From evidence to practice
Vaccine hesitancy presents significant challenges to public health, exacerbated by a lack of cohesive policies in Europe. Recognized as a complex social phenomenon influenced by various factors, vaccine hesitancy threatens health systems and public trust. This paper analyses the political background and current gaps in policies addressing vaccine hesitancy, with a specific focus on the role of healthcare authorities, organizations and professiona…

In recent decades, the health sector has witnessed the emergence of social movements of patients aimed at redefining public policies on access to and provision of medical care.These changes are reflected in the conceptual models of patient-centred care, developed to guide medical practice towards patients' expectations and wishes.However, different patient-centred models remain eminently focused on the dimension of solicitude when attending to pa…
(De)Bonding with embryos: The emotional choreographies of Portuguese IVF patients
In this article we develop the new concept of emotional choreography to describe how patients bond, debond and/or rebond with their embryos created in vitro using assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Using this concept, we explore how the patients' management of their own emotions intertwines with political, scientific, and religious factors. Our analysis relies on and further advances Thompson's concepts of ethical and ontological "choreogr…

Schrodinger's immigrant: The political and strategic use of (contradictory) stereotypical traits about immigrants
Lay perceptions of health and environmental inequalities and their associations to mental health
Health inequalities are very well documented in epidemiological research: rich people live longer and have fewer diseases than poor people. Recently, a growing amount of evidence from environmental sciences confirms that poor people are also more exposed to pollution and other environmental threats. However, research in the social sciences has shown a broad lack of awareness about health inequalities. In this paper, based on data collected in Por…
Factores ambientais e psicossossiais da avaliação do risco de furto por carteirista: O caso de dois locais em Lisboa
É do conhecimento comum que o furto por carteirista é um tipo de crime que se encontra em ambiente urbano.
