Swim, swim and die at the beach’
Gender-based violence (GBV) and Domestic Violence (DV) are prevalent in Brazil. There are growing concerns globally regarding the weaponisation of the pseudo-concept 'Parental Alienation' (PA) in the family courts against women.

BBV testing for migrant patients in primary care is usually ad hoc, which is likely to lead to testing opportunities being missed.

Interventions to improve professional awareness and identification of migrant patients requiring BBV testing are needed to reduce the undiagnosed and untreated burden of BBVs in this vulnerable population

METHODS: Girls' HPV vaccination records were linked by address to cervical screening records for their mothers in the North W…

Despite the widespread use of SMPHs in global public health policy, the uncertainty in their calculation, inherent due to the variable quality and availability of data from different sources required to calculate S…
