The Association Between Digital Engagement and Unmet Healthcare Needs Among Older Korean Adults
Information-seeking behavior has become more diversified with the proliferation of digital technologies. This study investigated the relationship between digital engagement in searching for information and experience of unmet healthcare needs among older adults in South Korea Data from the 2017 and 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans were used to examine the relationship between digital engagement and unmet healthcare needs across four dimensio…
Beyond knowledge transfer
Capacity-building programmes for health professionals in low- and middle-income countries often transfer technical knowledge without sufficient attention to community ownership. This suggests knowledge translation alone is insufficient; it must be integrated with critical evaluation to systematically support community participation. Here, we proposes an integrated framework to align knowledge translation with community ownership and balanced powe…
An evolution of socioeconomic inequalities in self-rated health in Korea
Reducing socioeconomic inequalities in health has become an important health policy agenda. This study aimed to measure socioeconomic inequalities in health in Korea over the past two decades and identify the contributing factors to the observed inequalities. Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 1998 to 2016/2018 were utilized. The concentration index (CI) was calculated to measure health inequalitie…
The Impact of Parental Incarceration on Sport Participation Trajectories from Adolescence to Young Adulthood
Given the potential negative effects of parental incarceration on millions of people, it is critical to examine the possible short- and long-term effects of parental incarceration on individuals. This study examines the effect of parental incarceration on the sports participation trajectories of children ranging from adolescence to young adulthood. Group-based trajectory models were set up using SAS analytics software to examine how parental inca…
Health Status and Health Service Utilization among Vietnamese Farmers in a Mountainous Province
Problems of poor health status and low health service use among farmers in mountainous areas have not been fully investigated. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Son La, a mountainous province in Vietnam, to assess the self-rated health and health care service utilization among farmers. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure the self-rated health. Multivariate Tobit, Poisson, and logistic regression were employed to identify relate…
Measuring Socioeconomic Inequalities in Obesity among Korean Adults, 1998–2015
Obesity is a prominent global public health challenge as its prevalence has grown. Even though the increase in prevalence of obesity in Korea has been relatively low, it is expected to continually increase in the next several years, leading to social and economic burdens. This study aimed to assess socioeconomic inequalities in obesity among Korean adults. Using nationally representative survey datasets, the concentration index (CI) and decomposi…
Effects of Participation in Social Activities on Cognitive Function Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Korea
Cognitive function is a critical health issue in later life, the decline of which disrupts well-being and daily life function. Cognitive decline in older ages can also be understood in the context of the social environment such as social connectedness and engagement in personal life. This study aimed to examine: (1) whether participation in social activities contributes to preventing cognitive decline, and (2) what type of social activities are b…
Values and happiness among Asian adolescents
Despite policy efforts to increase adolescent happiness, their impact has been unsatisfactory. Their limited impact may be rooted from a discrepancy between values that adolescents pursued and those that the policies were based on. To provide policy implications, our study aims to identify prevailing values for South Korean, Japanese, and Chinese adolescents and to examine the relationship between the values and self-rated happiness (SRH). A cros…
An examination of perceived health care availability and unmet health care need in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Assessment of trends in socioeconomic inequalities in cancer screening services in Korea, 1998–2012
Our empirical findings suggest that, although the policy of reducing out-of-pocket payment for cancer screening may contribute to the observed decreases in inequality, it alone is not likely to completely eliminate inequality. Further research is required to identify barriers that prevent people with lower socioeconomic status from participation in cancer screening, which allows equal access for equal need
