Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among Italian and immigrant residents
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on access to mental health services and socioeconomic inequalities in Italy
The COVID-19 pandemic increased socioeconomic inequalities in mental health in Italy. Population-based cohorts are the most powerful instrument to monitor inequalities in access to mental health services and to provide timely information to drive policy
Socioeconomic inequalities in avoidable mortality in Italy
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality persist in Italy, with an extremely varied response to policies at the regional level, representing a possible missed gain in health and suggesting a reassessment of priorities and definition of health targets
Geographic heterogeneity of the epidemiological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy using a socioeconomic proxy-based classification of the national territory
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the differences in incidence, non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) and intensive care unit (ICU) hospital admissions, and COVID-19-related mortality between the "inner areas" of Italy and its metropolitan areas. Study design: Retrospective population-based study conducted from the beginning of the pandemic in Italy (20 February 2020) to 31 March 2022. Methods: The municipalities of Italy were classified into …
Barriers to Accessing Primary Care and Appropriateness of Healthcare Among Immigrants in Italy
INTRODUCTION: The health status and health care needs of immigrant populations must be assessed. The aim of this study was to evaluate barriers to accessing primary care and the appropriateness of health care among resident immigrants in Italy, using indicators regarding maternal health, avoidable hospitalization, and emergency care. METHODS: Cross-sectional study using some indicators of the National Monitoring System of Health Status and Health…
Male and Female Differences in Homicide Mortality
Introduction: Italy has one of the lowest homicide rates in Europe. However, while it is decreasing overall, the proportion of murdered women is increasing. This study aimed to analyze the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated with homicide mortality in Italy, focusing specifically on male and female differences. Methods: Using a longitudinal design, the Italian 2011 General Census population was followed up to 2018. Deaths fro…
Clinical Correlates of Deliberate Self-Harm Among Migrant Trauma-Affected Subgroups
Introduction: Studies have shown that exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) during the migration process has serious consequences on mental health. Migrants with a history of PTEs are more likely to inflict deliberate self-harm (DSH), a spectrum of behavior that includes non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). With reference to a nonclinical sample of trauma-exposed migrants, this study aims to explore the prevalence of DSH and to assess the a…
Sociodemographic Characteristics Associated with Harmful Use of Alcohol Among Economically and Socially Disadvantaged Immigrant Patients in Italy
In many contexts, individuals with lower socioeconomic status, especially immigrants, have a higher burden of negative alcohol-related consequences and a higher probability of receiving a psychiatric diagnosis. This study aimed at exploring sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with harmful use of alcohol (HUA) among immigrant patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Rome (Italy) on a sample of 330 immigrant patients …
Drug prescribing during pregnancy in a central region of Italy, 2008-2012
In Latium, drugs are widely used in pregnancy. Prescriptions of inappropriate drugs are observed in more than a fifth of pregnancies, and teratogens are still used, despite their known risk. Continuous updates of information provided to practitioners and an increased availability of information to women might reduce inappropriate prescribing
Surveillance of Summer Mortality and Preparedness to Reduce the Health Impact of Heat Waves in Italy
Since 2004, the Italian Department for Civil Protection and the Ministry of Health have implemented a national program for the prevention of heat-health effects during summer, which to-date includes 34 major cities and 93% of the residents aged 65 years and over. The Italian program represents an important example of an integrated approach to prevent the impact of heat on health, comprising Heat Health Watch Warning Systems, a mortality surveilla…
