Embedding social determinants in mHealth for pediatric oncology: Co-designing a patient-centred tool for febrile neutropenia in resource-limited settings
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a potentially life-threatening complication of chemotherapy in pediatric oncology. In resource-limited settings, timely care is often hampered by structural and social barriers. Broader social determinants of health (SDoH)—including food insecurity, housing instability, limited transport, digital exclusion, and caregiver mental health conditions—undermine caregivers’ capacity to respond to FN episodes effectively. This…
Gendered experience of people living with type 2 diabetes in rural and urban Mexico: An ethnographic study
Gender appears to substantially influence experience of living with T2D. Women were more likely to provide family support and less likely to receive it and reported greater financial barriers to care access in comparison to men. Men were more likely to experience stress in relation to their employment as primary providers for their family, and less likely to adhere to prescribed medical management of their condition. These findings should be cons…
Challenges to the development of taxation policies for sugar-sweetened beverages in Colombia
Frequent consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) is related to the risks of developing overweight, obesity, cavities, diabetes and other diseases. Policies to significantly increase taxes on SSB have proven to be effective in reducing their consumption. The political debate on implementing these taxes in Colombia shows a series of barriers to placing this policy on the political agenda, and therefore, to its approval. This work analyses th…
Gender disparities in lost productivity resulting from non-communicable diseases in Mexico, 2005–2021
Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) cause long-term impacts on health and can substantially affect people's ability to work. Little is known about how such impacts vary by gender, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where productivity losses may affect economic development. This study assessed the long-term productivity loss caused by major NCDs among adult women and men (20-76 years) in Mexico because of premature …
Burden of non-communicable diseases and behavioural risk factors in Mexico: Trends and gender observational analysis
Background: There is scarce gender-disaggregated evidence on the burden of disease (BD) worldwide and this is particularly prominent in low- and middle-income countries. The objective of this study is to compare the BD caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and related risk factors by gender in Mexican adults. Methods: We retrieved disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) estimates for diabetes, cancers and neoplasms, chronic cardiovascular dis…
Predictors of maternal knowledge on early childhood development in highly marginalized communities in Mexico: Implications for public policy
INTRODUCTION: Efforts to identify the predictors of maternal knowledge on Early Child Development (ECD) have proven inconclusive thus far, particularly with respect to socially deprived contexts in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). We quantified the extent of ECD knowledge among mothers who were the primary caregivers of 0-38-month-old infants in marginalized communities in Mexico. We also explored the characteristics of the children, bot…
Ethnic Disparities in Effective Coverage of Maternal Healthcare in Mexico, 2006–2018: A Decomposition Analysis
Global health diplomacy in Mexico: Insights from key actors in the field
BACKGROUND: Global health diplomacy (GHD) focuses on the actions taken by diverse stakeholders from different nations -governments, multilateral agents, and civil society- to phenomena that can affect population health and its determinants beyond national borders. Although the literature on conceptual advancements of GHD exists, empirical studies about how health becomes an issue of relevance for foreign policy are scarce. We present an analysis …
Public health insurance and ethnic disparities in maternal health care: The case of vulnerable Mexican women over the last 25 years
This article examines the coverage in the continuum of antenatal–postnatal care for vulnerable women in Mexico according to indigenous status and assesses the influence of public health insurance strategies on the evolution of coverage over the last 25 years. We studied a total of 19 613 567 Mexican women, aged 12–54 years at last birth, based on a pooled cross-sectional analysis of data from the 1997, 2009, 2014 and 2018 waves of the National Su…
Global Health Diplomacy (GHD) and the integration of health into foreign policy: Towards a conceptual approach
Since the end of the Cold War, health has gone from a peripheral concern in foreign policy negotiations to a prominent place on the global political agenda. While the rise of health onto the foreign policy agenda is by now old news, the driving forces behind its expansion into new political spheres remain understudied and undertheorized. This article builds on empirical findings from a four-country study of the integration of health into foreign …

Trends and challenges in diabetes for middle-income countries: Evidence from Mexico
The epidemiological and economic burden of diabetes poses one of the main challenges for health systems worldwide. This is particularly relevant in middle-income countries because of the constant growing trends that have been observed in recent years. In order to identify trends and challenges on epidemiological and economic burden from diabetes in a middle-income country we developed a longitudinal analysis on costs and trends in the number of c…
Prison environment and non-communicable chronic disease modifiable risk factors: Length of incarceration trend analysis in Mexico City
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of evidence regarding chronic disease modifiable risk factors among prisoner populations in Latin America. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and to assess their relationship with length of incarceration. METHODS: We analysed data from a cross sectional study in which 4241 prisoners were randomly selected to answer a questionnaire with socio-demograp…
Violencia y salud mental asociados a pensar o haber intentado emigrar internacionalmente por adolescentes mexicanos

Using systematized tacit knowledge to prioritize implementation challenges in existing maternal health programs: Implications for the post MDG era
Strategic priority setting and implementation of strategies to reduce maternal mortality are key to the post Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2015 agenda. This article highlights the feasibility and the advantages of using a systematized tacit knowledge approach, using data from maternal health program personnel, to identify local challenges to implementing policies and programs to inform the post MDG era. Communities of practice, conceived as g…
Evidence on equity, governance and financing after health care reform in Mexico: Lessons for Latin American countries

Taking into account feasibility, as well as political and technical criteria, seven Mexican states were selected as study populations and an evaluative research was conducte…
An explanatory analysis of economic and health inequality changes among Mexican indigenous people, 2000-2010
Despite a decade of efforts to promote public programs, poverty persists and is a particular burden for indigenous populations within Mexican society. In light of the results, it would be advisable to review public policy and to specifically target future policy to the needs of the indigenous population

Aids-related illness trajectories in Mexico: Findings from a qualitative study in two marginalized communities
This paper describes findings from a recent study examining how people affected directly and indirectly by the HIV/AIDS epidemic cope with HIV-related illness in Mexico. One-hundred-and-thirteen in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants in two contrasting communities: Ciudad Netzahualcóyotl (an economically marginalized community) and the gay community in Mexico City (a sexually marginalized community). This paper describes the AIDS-…
Family responses to HIV/Aids in Mexico
Motivos de no vacunación: Un análisis crítico de la literatura internacional, 1950-1990
En muchos países se reconoce que los programas de vacunación requieren del dominio de elementos técnicos y organizacionales para ser accesibles a las poblaciones. Uno de ellos ha sido menospreciado de manera importante: la participación de la población y las causas que la motivan. El presente trabajo analiza experiencias de diversos países, a partir de una revisión bibliográfica del período 1950-1990. Los resultados muestran que los estudios exis…
