Monitoring health inequalities when the socio-economic composition changes
If improving the educational attainment is part of a policy, an upwards shift of EL should be assessed as a progress; however the RII, and to a lesser extent the SII, frequently translate an increased EL4 share as a worsening. We warn against the use of SII and RII for monitoring inequality-tackling policies at changing socio-economic structures. Rather, we recommend to complement the assessment of changes in absolute and relative pairwise differ…
Contribution of chronic conditions to gender disparities in health expectancies in Belgium, 2001, 2004 and 2008
Background: We aimed to investigate the contribution of chronic conditions to gender differences in disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) and life expectancy with disability (LED) in Belgium in 2001, 2004 and 2008. Methods: Data on disability and chronic conditions from participants of the 2001, 2004 and 2008 Health Interview Surveys in Belgium were used to estimate disability prevalence by cause using the attribution method. Disability prevalen…
Trends in educational inequalities in premature mortality in Belgium between the 1990s and the 2000s
BACKGROUND: Reducing socioeconomic inequalities in mortality, a key public health objective may be supported by a careful monitoring and assessment of the contributions of specific causes of death to the global inequality. METHODS: The 1991 and 2001 Belgian censuses were linked with cause-of-death data, each yielding a study population of over 5 million individuals aged 25-64, followed up for 5 years. Age-standardised mortality rates (ASMR) were …
Detecting maternal morbidity and mortality by traditional birth attendants in Burkina Faso
In Burkina Faso, an initial experiment in training 280 traditional birth attendants (TBAs) was monitored and assessed before extending this training to the whole country. The activities of trained TBAs in 142 villages were continuously recorded. File cards were filled out for 6129 women registered by the TBAs in the course of the prepartum, delivery and postpartum. The risk factors and the decisions associated with these procedures were standardi…
