Adverse self-rated health transition among older adults in India
Self-rated health (SRH) is a validated epidemiological measure that captures an individual's overall health perception and predicts morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research on SRH among older adults in India, evidence on its transition across the life course remains limited. Using data from 70,595 individuals aged 45 years and above from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) 2017-2018, this study examined transitions in SRH from…
Uncovering mental well-being profiles in urban slums of Gorakhpur, India
Mental well-being is a growing but underrecognized public health priority in rapidly urbanizing, resource-constrained settings. Conventional mean-based analyses obscure important heterogeneity within vulnerable populations. We aimed to identify distinct mental well-being profiles among adults living in urban slums of Gorakhpur, India, using a person-centered approach. A cross-sectional survey (2023-2024) was conducted among 406 adults (≥18 years)…

Suicide remains a crucial public health concern in India, especially among students and young adults. The growing academic pressure, social stigma, and lack of accessible mental health services contribute to the growing crisis and suicide rates in India. The study aims to develop an implementation model for educational institutions for reducing risk of suicide behavior (perceived stress and depressive symptoms) and enhance help-seeking behavior. …

Developing Standard Treatment Workflows—way to universal healthcare in India
Primary healthcare caters to nearly 70% of the population in India and provides treatment for approximately 80–90% of common conditions. To achieve universal health coverage (UHC), the Indian healthcare system is gearing up by initiating several schemes such as National Health Protection Scheme, Ayushman Bharat, Nutrition Supplementation Schemes, and Inderdhanush Schemes. The healthcare delivery system is facing challenges such as irrational use …

India's Covid-19 Burdens, 2020
The purpose of this article is two pronged; first, to identify and report public health implications of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and second, to report challenges uniquely faced by the citizens of India from a population health perspective. We have done both while closely examining epidemiological data that is accessible via SMAART's RAPID Tracker. This policy informatics platform is a live database aimed to track the geospatia…
Predictors of Covid-19 Vaccine Acceptance, Intention, and Hesitancy
COVID-19 vaccine is regarded as the most promising means of limiting the spread of or eliminating the pandemic. The success of this strategy will rely on the rate of vaccine acceptance globally. The study aims to examine the factors that influence COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, intention, and hesitancy. PubMed was searched comprehensively for articles using the keyword “COVID-19 vaccine surveys.” Of the 192 records, 22 studies were eligible for the…
