Labour market exits in a former out-of-home care population
Ways of exiting the labour market both reflect previous health and socioeconomic disadvantage, and shape opportunities for healthy ageing. We apply sequence analysis on data from a 1953 Stockholm birth cohort to describe typical labour market exit routes between ages 55 and 68, both in the full sample and among the subgroup of individuals with childhood experience of out-of-home care for family reasons - a population with a high prevalence of chi…
Adulthood trajectories of resilience and vulnerability
Adulthood disadvantage was more common in the group with history of out-of-home care. The gender differences in disadvantage present in the full cohort were largely attenuated among individuals with out-of-home care history. We showed that using administrative data on outcomes across multiple life domains can provide rich descriptions of adult experiences after childhood adversity. Future research could examine gender differences in mechanisms tr…
Rocks, Dandelions or Steel Springs
The multifaceted concept of resilience is widely used to describe individual or societal abilities to withstand and adjust to external pressures. In relation to health, resilience can help us to understand a positive health development despite adverse circumstances. The authors of this article aimed to disentangle this complex concept by elaborating on three metaphors commonly used to describe resilience. Similarities and differences between resi…
Health Inequalities in the Diverse World of Self-Employment
With labor being a central social determinant of health, there is an increasing need to investigate health inequalities within the heterogenous and growing population in self-employment. This study aimed to longitudinally investigate the relationship between income level, self-employment status and multiple work-related health indicators in a Swedish national cohort ( n = 3,530,309). The study investigated the relationship between self-employment…
Precariousness in Norway and Sweden
Precariousness in working life is a rising concern in Europe, but scant statistical evidence exists as to the prevalence and development of longstanding precarious employment. Using high-quality individual-level population-wide register data across several decades, this study addresses this issue in Norway and Sweden. Longstanding precarious attachment to the labour market was defined as low/marginal work income during eight years, with frequent …
The Effect of Rotavirus Vaccine on Socioeconomic Differentials of Paediatric Care Due to Gastroenteritis in Swedish Infants
Background : Previous Swedish studies have shown a social gradient on paediatric care for viral gastroenteritis. Aim : To study the effect of a free rotavirus vaccine programme on hospital care for viral gastroenteritis. Method : A register-based national cohort study of paediatric in- and outpatient care for viral gastroenteritis in children Results : Reductions of 37% and 24% for inpatient care, and 11 % and 21% for outpatient care for viral ga…
Finding common ground
Within the past few decades, the academic discipline of public health has taken root in universities around the world. As a young and multidisciplinary field with a dual-research/practice focus and a tradition that emphasises method development, the use of theory in public health research has often been neglected. In this article, we argue that explicit utilisation of theory is crucial to further the development of public health as an academic di…
A decade lost
BACKGROUND: Past research has consistently identified children with out-of-home care (OHC) experience as a high-risk group for premature mortality. While many have argued that educational success is a key factor in reducing these individuals' excessive death risks, empirical evidence has hitherto been limited. The aim of the current study was therefore to examine the potentially mitigating role of educational success in the association between OH…
Hospital admissions due to alcohol related disorders among young adult refugees who arrived in Sweden as teenagers – a national cohort study
Young refugees have lower risks of alcohol disorders compared with native Swedes. The risks were higher in unaccompanied young (male) refugees compared to the accompanied ones. Moreover, Somalian refugees who had lived in Sweden for more than ten years seems to be particularly vulnerable to alcohol related disorders
The effect of childhood socioeconomic position on alcohol-related disorders later in life
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use is the third most important global-health risk factor and a main contributor to health inequalities. Previous research on social determinants of alcohol-related disorders has delivered inconsistent results. We aimed to investigate whether socioeconomic position (SEP) in childhood predicts alcohol-related disorders in young adulthood in a Swedish national cohort. METHODS: We studied a register-based national cohort of Swedi…
