Keep distance and hear me out! Swedish-speaking children’s pandemic narratives informing rights-based approaches to future crises
Background The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted children’s lives globally, yet limited research centres their voices in evaluating crisis responses. Sweden’s unique strategy, emphasizing voluntary guidelines rather than strict lockdowns, provides a critical context to explore how the pandemic policies reshaped children’s daily lives and affected systemic inequities between them; and to highlight children’s perspectives on how societal actors could bet…
Representation, activism, health promotion, and communication
This viewpoint advocates for the inclusion of art in global health discourse and practice. We explore four areas in which art can be leveraged to improve global health: (1) to amplify disenfranchised voices, (2) to advance social justice activism, (3) to strengthen communities and individuals, and (4) to improve global health communication. Drawing on community-driven art initiatives, we argue for an inclusive approach that respects diverse cultu…
Sexual violence and rape among young migrants in Sweden
Background: Young migrants are particularly vulnerable to SV (SV) due to their age and the challenges of migration. However, there is limited knowledge regarding SV among young migrants in Sweden. This study aims to assess the prevalence, determinants, perpetrators, and reporting patterns of SV and rape. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2018 survey on migrants' sexual and reproductive health and rights, involving 1773 migrants aged 16-29. We es…
Prevalence of perceived discrimination, determinants and associations with self-rated general and sexual health, healthcare utilization and self-perceived integration
This study shows that migrants in Sweden face widespread perceived discrimination based on ethnicity and religion. This can affect their health, healthcare use, and social integration. The study calls for policies and interventions that tackle systemic perceived discrimination, foster inclusion, and guarantee equal opportunities in accessing healthcare and resources for migrants. It also urges support for vulnerable groups who perceive more discr…
Beyond supply and demand
BACKGROUND: Although the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people and migrants should be prioritised, young migrants' sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is rarely studied in Sweden. OBJECTIVES: To explore young migrants' understanding and experiences of sexual rights and examine their perceptions and experiences in accessing SRH services. METHODS: This is a mixed method study including a national survey that recruited 17…
The good, the bad, and the why
Although migrant men constitute a large and growing proportion of men in Sweden, literature exploring migrant men's experiences in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is scarce. We aimed to explore how Arabic-speaking migrant men perceive and experience information and services related to SRH in Sweden. We conducted 13 semi-structured interviews with Arabic-speaking migrant men and analysed the data using reflexive thematic analysis. We…

The prevalence and factors associated with home delivery have been studied retrospectively among women in Ethiopia. However, no national studies have assessed pregnant women's preferences for home delivery. OBJECTIVE: To assess factors associated with preferences for home delivery among pregnant women in Ethiopia. METHODS: We analysed a sample of 678 preg…
Social factors associated with trust in the health system in northern Sweden
Trust in the health system was moderately high in northern Sweden and strongly associated with sociodemographic and social capital factors. Trust is a complex phenomenon and a deeper exploration of the relation between trust in the health system and sociodemographic factors is needed
Young migrants’ sexual rights in Sweden
Timely and culturally adapted information about sexual rights, gender equalities, laws and available services in Sweden should be provided in appropriate languages and formats in order to raise awareness about sexual rights and improve access to available services. Tailored attention should be paid to specific vulnerable subgroups
Preteen children’s health related quality of life in Sweden
More children reported pain and mood problems in 2009 compared with 2005. To study future trends, health outcomes among children in Sweden should continue to be reported periodically. More efforts should be invested to increase the awareness of health-related disparities as highlighted in this study especially for girls living in small municipalities and children of parents with high education level
Assessing the dimensionality of YFHS-Swe
The aim of this study was to assess the dimensionality of YFHS-Swe and identify possible unique factors in the evaluation of youth-friendliness. YFHS-Swe was answered by 1110 youths aged 16 to 25 years visiting youth clinics in Northern Sweden. Thirteen factors were identified by exploratory factor analysis and except for one factor they all proved to fit well and have good reliability when assessed by the confirmatory factor analysis. The YFHS-S…
