  • Sars-CoV-2 spread and area economic disadvantage in the italian three-tier restrictions

    Open AccessLuca Dei Bardi, Anna Acampora et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

  • Mortality differences between migrants and Italians residing in Rome before, during, and in the aftermath of the great recession. A longitudinal cohort study from 2001 to 2015

    Open AccessEleonora Trappolini, Claudia Marino et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Given the relevance of international migrations in Europe, studying migrants' health has proved increasingly important. The deterioration in migrant health and the gradual weakening of migrants' mortality advantage is likely to become a public health issue with important consequences for the healthcare system of all European countries

  • Disparities in emergency department use between Italians and migrants residing in Rome, Italy

    Open AccessEleonora Trappolini, Claudia Marino et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

In this regard, health policies and cuts in health spending measures may have played a key role, and interventions to tackle health and access disparities should include policy m…

  • Potentially avoidable hospitalization for asthma in children and adolescents by migrant status

    Open AccessLaura Cacciani, Cristina Canova et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The asthma PAH meta-analytic rate was higher among female children and adolescent immigrants compared to Italians, with heterogeneity among cohorts showing higher cohort-specific PAH also among males, with some differences by origin country.

  • Perinatal outcomes among immigrant mothers over two periods in a region of central Italy

    Open AccessLaura Cacciani, Simona Asole et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Our findings suggest that migrant status is a risk factor for adverse perinatal health. Moreover, they suggest that perinatal outcomes improved over time in some immigrant women. This could be due to a general improvement in immigrants' health in the past decade, or it may indicate successful application of policies that increase accessibility to mother-child health services during the periconception and prenatal periods for legal and illegal imm…
