Privatización del diagnóstico y acceso avanzado al tratamiento público
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the association between patients' contact with the private sector to undergo a diagnostic test and the probability that subsequent hospital treatment, if needed, will be provided by the public healthcare system, assessing whether this pattern may imply a dualisation of access to public treatment and its relationship with per-individual expenditure. METHOD: Individual-level data from the Minimum Basic Data Set for Acute Hospi…
Diferencial de gasto hospitalario en salud mental entre Cataluña y la Ocde
OBJECTIVE: To assess the public spending differential on mental health in Catalonia by estimating the gap between actual and predicted expenditures using macroeconomic variables. METHOD: A predictive model was developed based on public hospital mental health spending in OECD countries, adjusted for factors like gross domestic product per capita, population demographics, the share of mental health expenditure within total healthcare spending, inco…
Loneliness as a determinant of health
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the health effects of loneliness among adults (18+ years) and elderly adults (60+ years). METHOD: Using data from the Health Survey of Catalonia (ESCA), 2013-2019, the effects of loneliness on health and healthcare utilization outcomes are estimated. Ordinary least squares estimates are provided to explore the channels affecting such relationships. RESULTS: Loneliness is significantly associated to worse health …

Assessing the Effects on Health Inequalities of Differential Exposure and Differential Susceptibility of Air Pollution and Environmental Noise in Barcelona, 2007–2014
The hypotheses we intended to contrast were, first, that the most deprived neighborhoods in Barcelona, Spain, present high exposure to environmental hazards (differential exposure) and, secondly, that the health effects of this greater exposure were higher in the most deprived neighborhoods (differential susceptibility). The population studied corresponded to the individuals residing in the neighborhoods of Barcelona in the period 2007-2014. We s…
Socioeconomic inequalities in health and the use of healthcare services in Catalonia
Social protection systems are related to each community's culture. In most of the developed countries with welfare systems health care provides universal access to their population. Despite its achievements, the main concern today of public health systems is financial sustainability. The challenge results from the fact that most of the health systems are very set in their ways and do not seem much prepared to answer that is to come in health care…
Población mayor en situación de dependencia de la Argentina
La magnitud de la población de 65 años y más en situación de dependencia de la Argentina sería de más de un millón de personas. Dada la gran heterogeneidad en el tipo y en la intensidad de las ayudas que requieren las personas en situación de dependencia, resulta esencial establecer criterios de clasificación para identificar grupos homogéneos en términos de severidad. Objetivo: el trabajo busca establecer una metodología y unos criterios objetiv…

Has the economic crisis widened the intraurban socioeconomic inequalities in mortality? The case of Barcelona, Spain
BACKGROUND: There is considerable evidence demonstrating socioeconomic inequalities in mortality, some of which focuses on intraurban inequalities. However, all the studies assume that the spatial variation of inequalities is stable over the time. We challenge this assumption and propose two hypotheses: (i) have spatial variations in socioeconomic inequalities in mortality at an intraurban level changed over time? and (ii) as a result of the econ…
La crisis económica española y sus consecuencias sobre el gasto social. Informe Sespas 2014
Se concatenan en este texto un conjunto resumido de argumentaciones que, a juicio del autor, deberían considerarse a la hora de analizar en España las relaciones multidireccionales entre la situación económica, las finanzas públicas, el gasto social y en la salud, y el bienestar de los ciudadanos. En razón de la brevedad, se detallan sucintamente los puntos fundamentales del mensaje y se dejan en el apartado de Discusión algunos temas polémicos q…
The Socioeconomic Determinants of Health
In times of economic crisis, most countries face the dual challenge of fighting unemployment while restraining social expenditures and closing budget deficits. The spending cuts and lack of employment affect a large number of decisions that have a direct or indirect impact on health. This impact is likely to be unevenly distributed among different groups within the population, and therefore not only health levels may be at risk, but also their di…

A conditional model for estimating the increase in suicides associated with the 2008–2010 economic recession in England
BACKGROUND: Although evidence of the effects of the economic crisis on suicides is quite low, a recent article shows that the increase in suicides in England between 2008 and 2010 could be associated with the rise in unemployment. Our study analysed whether this effect was the same for all regions of England, using a conditional model which explicitly allows estimation of regional time trends and the effects of unemployment on suicides at the reg…
