Trust in healthcare and perceived discrimination in Sweden
Introduction: Trust in healthcare is central to the delivery of care and unequally distributed between groups in society. Experiences of perceived discrimination have been associated with lack of such trust. Although the importance of trust in healthcare has been highlighted in recent years, studies in this area are relatively scarce. Materials and methods: = 83,135). Applying an analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (A…
Perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking physician’s care in Sweden
AIHDA disclosed complex intersectional inequalities in the average risk of refraining from seeking physician's care. This risk was rather high in some strata, which is relevant from an individual perspective. However, from a population perspective, the low DA of the intersectional strata suggests that potential interventions to reduce such inequalities should be universal but tailored to the specific contextual characteristics of the strata. Disc…
Arts, culture and sports engagement and self-rated health
Significant associations between arts and culture engagement and sports event attendance, and SRH were observed, although effect measures were comparatively low for arts and cultural engagement. The results may be useful for informing public health promotion and prevention strategies
Religious service attendance and mortality
The results suggest that religious service attendance in a highly secularized country such as Sweden is significantly associated with lower all-cause mortality, which may be explained by a social network pathway in this highly secularized population
Mental distress in relation to police reporting among adolescent victims of robbery. A population-based study in southern Sweden
Robberies as well as mental distress have increased among adolescents in Sweden.•This study on school students in southern Sweden was population-based with a high response rate.•Half of the robbed adolescents abstained from police reporting.•Non-reporters had poorer mental health than victims who reported the robbery.•Non-reporters were also an overall more disadvantaged group
Trust in the healthcare system and mortality
The results suggest a comparative advantage of moderate trust compared to very high trust in this setting of long waiting times for cancer and CVD treatment
Social capital, the miniaturization of community, traditionalism and mortality
The associations between low social capital, traditionalism and mortality are stronger for men than for women, and may be partly mediated by health-related behaviors
A brief reflection on the issue of science, ideology and critical theory
The New Totalitarians
Mass media in Sweden should become more financially and structurally independent of the state. The reporting by Swedish media in the spring of 2020 should be subject to peer-reviewed research
Health Locus of Control
Locus of control” is a key concept in the learning theory of personality, developed by Rotter in the 1950s and 1960s. The concept has been applied to various areas of psychological research, including health psychology. People with internal locus of control (internals) tend to regard outcomes as the result of their own decisions and actions. In contrast, people with external locus of control (externals) regard outcomes as attributable to circumst…
The Covid-19 pandemic and the Swedish strategy
The aim is to outline the underlying epidemiological thinking and mentality in post-materialist and postmodern Sweden behind the Swedish strategy. The aim is not to investigate the handling of the pandemic in Sweden in the long-run. Overconfidence in herd immunity, overconfidence in individual responsibility in a pandemic needing community-centered approaches, overconfidence in evidence-based medicine and neglect to coordinate with the WHO and ot…
Populism and health inequality in high-income countries
The rise of populist parties and movements in general and right-wing populist parties in particular has been noted also in the public health literature. While economic and other factors behind the populist surge have been systematically analyzed in the political and social science literature, the understanding of this political phenomenon seems weak in important parts of the public health literature. The lack of analysis of economic effects on he…

Poor psychological health and 5-year suicide mortality
The results indicate high effect measures (HRRs) between GHQ12 with both cut offs and five-year suicide mortality
The association of self-reported discrimination to all-cause mortality
Discrimination has is an important social determinant of health and though some research has been carried out on this it is mostly from the United States, which may not be generalisable to Europe and Sweden. This study investigated the association between self-reported experiences of repeated discrimination and all-cause mortality in Scania, Sweden. The Scania Public Health survey was sent out in 2008 with a follow-up in 2013 through the Swedish …
Economic stress and low leisure-time physical activity
The aim was to investigate associations between economic stress in childhood and adulthood, and low leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in adulthood from two life course perspectives. The public health survey in Scania in the southernmost part of Sweden in 2012 is a cross-sectional study based on a stratified random sample with 28,029 respondents aged 18-80 (51.7% response rate). Associations between childhood and adult economic stress, and low…
Two theoretical strands of social capital, and total, cardiovascular, cancer and other mortality
The aim is to prospectively investigate both the "cohesion" and "network" perspectives of social capital in relation to total, cardiovascular (CVD), cancer and all other causes mortality. The 2008 public health survey in Scania was a postal questionnaire with three letters of reminder, and it was answered in the Autumn by 28,198 respondents (55% participation) aged 18-80 from a stratified random sample of the population register. This baseline wa…
The 2005 London terror attacks
The London public transport suicide bombings, which occurred on 7th July 2005, were described as the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil to date. Past acts of terrorism have been associated with deterioration in population mental health. They may also negatively impact levels of social capital, which is considered a buffer against poor mental health outcomes. By employing panel data from the British Household Panel Survey and followin…
Trust and health
BACKGROUND: Social capital research has consistently shown positive associations between generalised trust and health outcomes over 2 decades. Longitudinal studies attempting to test causal relationships further support the theory that trust is an independent predictor of health. However, as the reverse causality hypothesis has yet to be empirically tested, a knowledge gap remains. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate if health st…

The 2008 financial crisis
The global financial crisis of 2008 was described by the IMF as the worst recession since the Great Depression. This historic event provided the backdrop to this United Kingdom (UK) longitudinal study of changes in associations between social capital and psychological wellbeing. Past longitudinal studies have reported that the presence of social capital may buffer against adverse mental health outcomes. This study adds to existing literature by e…
Subjective health complaints in adolescent victims of cyber harassment
Intervention programs aimed at improving the quality of peer and family relationships among children and adolescents might reduce the incidence of both cyber harassment and traditional bullying and lower the prevalence of psychosomatic complaints
Age at smoking initiation and self-rated health among second grade high school boys and girls in Scania, Sweden, a cross-sectional study
Boys and girls in second grade of high school with early smoking initiation reported poorer self-rated health than later initiators and never smokers. Poorer self-rated health persisted also after smoking cessation among early initiating boys. Further studies are needed to understand the adverse health effects associated with timing of smoking initiation
Life course perspectives on economic stress and generalized trust in other people
The aim is to investigate the associations between economic stress in childhood and adulthood, and low generalized trust in other people, testing two life course hypotheses. The 2008 public health survey in Scania is a cross-sectional postal/mail questionnaire study in which 28,198 persons aged 18-80 participated (55% participation in the original sample). Logistic regressions were used to analyze associations between economic stress in childhood…
Experience of physical violence and mental health among young men and women
Violated women, but not men, showed nearly doubled odds of poor psychological health after multiple adjustments. There was also a gender difference regarding location of violence. Awareness of gender differences regarding context and mental impact of violence may assist public health workers in reducing the consequences of violence and to design preventive strategies

METHODS: Longitudinal demographic and socioeconomic data for individuals and household socioeconomic data from parish registers were combined with local area data on food costs and disease load using a Cox regression fram…
Impact of different aspects of social participation and social capital on smoking cessation among daily smokers
The baseline daily smokers that had remained daily smokers at the one year follow up had particularly high rates of non-participation compared to the reference population in both activities specifically related to social capital, such as other study circles, meetings of organisations other than labour unions, and church attendance and cultural activities such as theatre/cinema and arts exhibition, although significantly lower participation in cul…

Social capital and sense of insecurity in the neighbourhood
Psychosocial work conditions, social capital, and daily smoking
The positive association between low social capital/low social participation and daily smoking is well known. However, both social participation and daily smoking are associated with psychosocial work conditions and unemployment. Psychosocial work conditions and unemployment may affect daily smoking both directly and through a pathway including social participation
Country of birth, socioeconomic position, and healthcare expenditure
Study objective: The principle of equity aims to guarantee allocation of healthcare resources on the basis of need. Therefore, people with a low income and persons living alone are expected to have higher healthcare expenditures. Besides these individual characteristics healthcare expenditure may be influenced by country of birth. This study therefore aimed to investigate the role of country of birth in explaining individual healthcare expenditur…

Social capital and health
The aim of the paper is to critically review the notion of social capital and review empirical literature on the association between social capital and health across countries. The methodology used for the review includes a systematic search on electronic databases for peer-reviewed published literature. We categorize studies according to level of analysis (single and multilevel) and examine whether studies reveal a significant health impact of i…
Similar support for three different life course socioeconomic models on predicting premature cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality
There was a strong relation between SEP and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, irrespective of the conceptual model used. The critical period, social mobility, and cumulative life course models, showed the same fit to the data. That is, one model could not be pointed out as "the best" model and even in this large unselected sample it was not possible to adjudicate which theories best describe the links between life course SEP and mortality r…
Individual characteristics, area social participation, and primary non-concordance with medication
Our results indicate that people in central Sweden with younger age, financial difficulties, low self-rated health, and low trust in the health care system may have a higher probability of primary non-concordance with medication. However, the area of residence--as defined by administrative boundaries--seems to play a minor role for primary non-concordance
Contribution of main causes of death to social inequalities in mortality in the whole population of Scania, Sweden
CHD made a major contribution to the socioeconomic differences in overall mortality. However, there were also important contributions from diseases with less well understood mechanistic links with SEP such as stroke and less-common cancers. Thus, an increased understanding of the mechanisms connecting SEP with more rare causes of disease might be important to be able to more successfully intervene on socioeconomic differences in health
