The Associations Between Household Food Insecurity and Cancer
Socioeconomic inequalities in C-section deliveries in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: While C-section (CS) deliveries exhibit significant socioeconomic inequalities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the extent and underlying drivers of these inequalities remain poorly understood. This study assesses these inequalities and identifies key contributing factors. METHODS: The most recent nationally representative samples of live births (n=652 539) from the Demographic and Health Surveys, conducted between 2014 an…
Equity Challenges in Canada's Old Age Security Pension
Le programme de la sécurité de la vieillesse (SV) procure aux personnes âgées canadiennes un revenu composé de deux prestations : le régime universel de pension de la SV et son complément pour les prestataires à faible revenu, le supplément de revenu garanti (SRG). Après avoir présenté le développement du programme de la SV et les critères d'admissibilité s'y rapportant, les auteurs ont évalué de manière empirique deux problèmes d’équité. D'abord…

Le présent article, qui s’appuie sur le sous-échantillon d’adultes des Premières Nations de l’Enquête auprès des peuples autochtones (EAPA) de 2017 et d’adultes non autochtones de l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes de 2017 (N = 35 390), examine les inégalités en matière d’état général de santé et de santé mentale autodéclarés, d’asthme diagnostiqué et de diabète diagnostiqué entre les adultes non autochtones et les adultes …
The contributions of avoidable causes of death to gender gap in life expectancy and life disparity in the US and Canada
Canada experienced larger reduction in the GGLE compared to the US attributed mainly to preventable causes of death. To narrow the GGLE and GGLD, the US needs to address injury deaths. Urgent interventions are required for drug-related death in both countries, particularly among males aged 15-44 years
Income-Related Inequities in Primary and Specialist Care Among First Nations Peoples Living Off-Reserve in Canada
Breastfeeding and infant care as ‘sexed’ care work
Women’s 1 lifelong health and nutrition status is intricately related to their reproductive history, including the number and spacing of their pregnancies and births, and for how long and how intensively they breastfeed their children. In turn, women’s reproductive biology is closely linked to their social roles and situation, including regarding economic disadvantage and disproportionate unpaid work. Recognizing , as well as reducing and redistr…
Decomposition of socioeconomic inequalities in catastrophic out-of-pocket expenditure for healthcare in Canada

Mind the Gap
The gap in life expectancy and lifespan inequality between Iran and neighbour countries
Higher mortality rates in young Iranians led to a double burden of inequality -shorter LE and greater uncertainty at timing of death. Strengthening intersectoral public health policies and healthcare quality targeted at averting premature deaths, especially from injuries among younger people, can mitigate this double burden
Socioeconomic inequalities in teenage pregnancy in Nigeria
There is a need for targeted intervention to reduce teenage pregnancy among low socioeconomic status women in Nigeria. The intervention should break the intergenerational cycle of low socioeconomic status that make teenagers' susceptible to unintended pregnancy. Economic empowerment is recommended, as empowered girls are better prepared to handle reproductive health issues. Moreover, religious bodies, parents and schools should provide counsellin…

Fare well to Nova Scotia? Public health investments remain chronically underfunded
Inspired by Fiset-Laniel et al.'s (2020) article entitled "Public health investments: neglect or wilful omission? Historical trends in Quebec and implications for Canada", we assessed public health investments since the establishment of the Nova Scotia provincial health authority in 2015. We analyzed Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness budgets from 2015-2016 to 2019-2020 and observed that less than 1% of funding was budgeted for public …
Socioeconomic Inequalities in Child Malnutrition in Bangladesh
Socioeconomic inequality in child malnutrition is well-evident in Bangladesh. However, little is known about whether this inequality differs by regional contexts. We used pooled data from the 2011 and 2014 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey to examine regional differences in socioeconomic inequalities in stunting and underweight among children under five. The analysis included 14,602 children aged 0-59 months. We used logistic regression mo…
Socioeconomic - related inequalities in overweight and obesity
Overall, we found that overweight and obesity is concentrated among high SES people in the study population. . Accordingly, it seems that intersectional actions should be taken to control and prevent overweight and obesity among higher socioeconomic groups
Catastrophic healthcare expenditures among Iranian households
Socioeconomic inequality in dental care utilization in Iran
This study revealed pro-rich inequalities in dental care utilization among households in Iran and its provinces. Thus, health policymakers should focus on designing effective evidence-based interventions to improve healthcare utilization among household with the older head of households, lower education status, and living in relatively poor provinces to reduce socioeconomic inequality in dental care utilization in Iran
Socioeconomic gradient in physical activity
The higher prevalence of PPA among Iranian adults, especially, women and older adults, warrant further public health attention. Since PPA is concentrated more among the high-SES population in Iran, strategies for the promotion of physical activity should focus more on economically well-off population

Socioeconomic inequalities in child vaccination in low/middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic inequalities in child vaccination continue to be a global public health concern. This study aimed to measure and identify factors associated with socioeconomic inequalities in full immunisation coverage against the four core vaccine-preventable diseases (ie, bacille Calmette-Guérin, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (three doses), polio (three doses) and measles vaccines) in 46 low/middle-income countries. METHODS: The most r…
Evaluating service quality in the higher education sector in Iran
Purpose Education is a human right and access to high quality education is key to sustainable socioeconomic development. Improving the quality of higher education institutes is essential for generating the productive human resources. Assessing the quality of higher education from the students’ perspective can be considered a crucial factor in the monitoring of service quality in universities. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quality o…
What explains gender inequalities in HIV/Aids prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from the demographic and health surveys
The factors that explain gender inequality in HIV/AIDS in SSA vary by country, suggesting that country-specific interventions are needed. Unmeasured factors also contributed substantially to the difference in HIV/AIDS prevalence between women and men, highlighting the need for further study
The socioeconomic gradient of secondhand smoke exposure in children
Special attention should be given to reduce ESHS among children from rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged households as social inequalities in ESHS might contribute to social inequalities in health over the life course

Dental care utilization in the west of Iran
Purpose Oral health is a major public health problem, both in developed and developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine the utilization of dental care and identify the main socioeconomic factors affecting the use of these services in the city of Sanandaj, west of Iran, in 2015. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey using multistage sampling was conducted to obtain information on the dental care visits of 520 head …
Social inequalities in the utilization of maternal care in Bangladesh
Although socially disadvantaged mothers increased their utilization of care relative to mothers of higher socioeconomic status, the absolute gap in utilization of care between socioeconomic groups has increased over time. Our findings indicate that wealthier and more educated women, as well as those living in urban areas, are the major users of ANC, FBD and SBA in Bangladesh. Thus, priority focus should be given to implementing and evaluating int…
Socioeconomic inequalities in HIV/Aids prevalence in sub-Saharan African countries
Further work is needed to understand the mechanisms explaining the concentration of HIV/AIDS among wealthier individuals and urban residents in SSA. Higher prevalence of HIV/AIDS could be indicative of better care and survival among wealthier individuals and urban adults, or reflect greater risk behaviour and incidence. Moreover, differential findings across countries suggest that effective intervention efforts for reducing the burden of HIV/AIDS…
