Enhancing civic engagement and Indigenous knowledge integration in Australian universities
Australian universities operate within a national context defined by ongoing disparities in Indigenous outcomes, as outlined by the ‘Closing the Gap’ framework. This paper argues that a fundamental change is necessary in how these institutions conceptualise and practice civic engagement, as well as moving towards incorporating Indigenous knowledges. By analysing existing Indigenous Strategy and Indigenous Research Strategies across Australian uni…
Can Money Buy Trust? Social Transfers and Trust During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
The United States was among the countries that increased social spending the most during the pandemic, including by adopting new cash transfer schemes. Yet, little is known about the impact of these newly implemented or augmented benefits on citizen trust in public health institutions. Grounded in policy feedback literature and research on attitudinal spillover, we hypothesize that receiving social transfers during the pandemic increased trust in…
Medicaid Eligibility Gaps and Pandemic-Era Postpartum Insurance Rates
This cohort study uses publicly available national survey data to estimate the association of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act with postpartum insurance rates
Immigrant Inequities in Uninsurance and Postpartum Medicaid Extension
Objectives. To determine if de facto postpartum Medicaid extension during the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) reduced immigrant versus US-born inequities in uninsurance. Methods. We assessed self-reported uninsurance at 2 to 6 months postpartum among people with Medicaid-paid births using the New York City Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), comparing immigrant and US-born people. We created a pre-FFCRA cohort of …
Higher unemployment benefits are associated with reduced drug overdose mortality in the United States before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Restricting Immigrant Access to Pregnancy-Related Insurance Has Public Health Consequences
Policies," DiMeo et al. (p.1051) outline state and federal policies regarding public health insurance coverage for nonqualified immigrants, highlighting substantial gaps in eligibility, leaving many pregnant immigrants without insurance coverage.For those eligible, the authors further describe barriers to obtaining coverage, including knowledge, awareness, and administrative burden.In this commentary, we build on these findings to describe conseq…
Strengthening community-based adaptation for urban transformation
Urban citizens increasingly need to adapt to climate risk. This is especially the case in informal settlements that have limited state engagement and are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Community-based adaptation (CBA) in the informal settlement has the potential to support the transformation that re-shapes power relations as well as reducing climate risk. This paper explores how multiscalar governance in Cape Town can either empower o…
HIV policy legacies, pandemic preparedness and policy effort to address Covid-19
That the world was unprepared for a major infectious disease outbreak is now readily apparent to all credible observers. However, some countries were more prepared than others and we have seen a variety of responses to COVID-19 emerge across nations. While recognizing that the sources of variation in country responses to COVID-19 are many and varied, in this study we seek to examine how policy legacies from national responses to HIV have influenc…
Communities at Risk for Mpox and Stigmatizing Policies
Objectives. To estimate the impact of communicating to the public that men who have sex with men (MSM) are most at risk for mpox on potential stigmatization and risk perception. Methods. We conducted a survey experiment randomizing exposure to messages about mpox among a sample of the South Korean public (n = 1500) in July 2022. We randomized respondents to receive an informational message about mpox that was (1) a neutral informational message a…
Enhanced unemployment benefits, mental health, and substance use among low-income households during the Covid-19 pandemic
Insider–Outsider Politics and Support for Universal Health Coverage in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
When and why does the public support redistributive policies that seek to provide social risk protection through universal health financing? One central political dilemma in establishing systems of universal health coverage (UHC) in low- and middle-income countries is the small tax base available to contribute to pooled financing of healthcare. Middle-class workers in the formal sector (labor market insiders) may already get health coverage throu…
The case for metagovernance
While cross‐sector collaborations can create effective governance mechanisms for multi‐sectoral issues, little attention has been paid to how these arrangements operate in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), where state capacity is weak and the international donor sector is influential. A case study of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) collaborative governance platform in Senegal is presented to explore how tensions between actors can be manag…
Fact‐value framework for adjudicating public health policy debates
That policy should be evidence‐based has become a widely accepted dictum, especially in public health, where evidence‐based policy is strongly emphasized. Yet, most public health controversies arise because there is a conflict over values, which facts alone cannot resolve. Moreover, promoting population‐based health interventions requires the art of political actors to arouse public support. In discussing this tension in public health, studies of…
What’s the Hold Up? The FDA’s Delayed Implementation of Menu-Labeling Policy
Calorie labeling on menus became a federal law in 2010 but was not implemented until 2018, 8 years after adoption. This study reconstructs the history of the federal menu-labeling mandate using a process-tracing approach and finds that the delays in implementation resulted not from direct agency capture by the regulated industry, but rather from a system of indirect influence whereby lawmakers continue to influence policy-making even after adopti…
The effect of administrative burden on state safety‐net participation
Administrative burden in social welfare programs is increasingly recognized as a barrier to eligible individuals' access to their legally entitled benefits. Using composite indices of administrative rules for three major safety‐net programs (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Medicaid) that vary in the degree and type of costs conferred on claimants across states between 2000 and 2016, we examin…

Does media slant polarize compliance with science-based public health recommendations? Effects of media consumption patterns on Covid-19 attitudes and behaviors in the United States
Has political polarization undermined the media' informational role during the COVID-19 pandemic? Recent studies show that politicized reporting from conservative media discouraged compliance with COVID-19 guidelines in the U.S. However, greater attention to the 24-hour news cycle may make high-consumption viewers better factually informed regardless of the source. We examine how the extent of media consumption affects people's emotions, attitude…
Is the male disadvantage real? Cross-national variations in sex gaps in Covid-19 incidence and mortality
Although the excess male mortality from COVID-19 is well-known, the variations in sex gaps in incidence and mortality across countries and the sources of such variations are not well understood. This study explored the patterns and the sources of variation in the sex gap in COVID-19 incidence and mortality rates across 100 countries where sex-disaggregated cases and deaths were available as of September 2020. Our results show that there is genera…
State‐level social safety nets for families coping with job loss
Critics of the modern American welfare state allege that safety net benefits discourage work by providing sufficient resources to replace earned income. Yet, research in social policy has long depicted the US safety net as parsimonious and inadequate relative to its European counterparts, even when considering benefits from programs that reward favorable work histories. Other theories predict variability across states and regional clustering even…
Is less more? Examining the relationship between food assistance benefit levels and childhood weight
Although concerns that more food assistance promotes obesity have spurred calls for cuts in the SNAP program, we find the opposite - that SNAP participation is associated with an increase in childhood BMI only when benefit levels are low. This study adds to the mounting evidence suggesting that SNAP does not cause obesity. It also contributes to the literature on the political economy of health, especially that pertaining to social policy variati…
What is driving global obesity trends? Globalization or “modernization”
BACKGROUND: Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. Researchers have attributed rising obesity rates to factors related to globalization processes, which are believed to contribute to obesity by flooding low-income country markets with inexpensive but obesogenic foods and diffusing Western-style fast food outlets (dependency/world systems theory). However, alternative explanations include domestic factors such as increases in unhealth…
The socio-economic distribution of exposure to Ebola
Socio-economic factors are widely believed to have been an important driver of the transmission of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) during the West African outbreak of 2014-16, however, studies that have investigated the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and EVD have found inconsistent results. Using nationally representative household survey data on whether respondents knew a close friend or family member with Ebola, we explore the SES d…
Global aid for nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions and proportion of stunted children across low- and middle-income countries
Development assistance for health (DAH) has increased dramatically over the past two decades, and this increase has led to a debate on the benefits and perverse effects of scaling-up vs scaling back DAH, and the type of interventions DAH should support. Nutrition remains a contested category viewed as essential to achieving primary healthcare objectives but as falling outside of the direct ambit of the health system. Thus, despite the increase in…
Funding for Abstinence-Only Education and Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention
Objectives. To examine the relationship between adolescent pregnancy–prevention and sexuality and abstinence-only education funding and adolescent birthrates over time. Also, to determine whether state ideology plays a moderating role on adolescent reproductive health, that is, whether the funding has its intended effect at reducing the number of adolescent births in conservative but not in liberal states. Methods. We modeled time-series data on …
Administrative Easing
Administrative burden is widely recognized as a barrier to program enrollment , denying legal entitlements to many potentially eligible individuals . Building on recent research in behavioral public administration , this article examines the effect of voluntary state reductions in administrative burden (administrative easing) on Medicaid enrollment rates using differential implementation of the Affordable Care Act . Using a novel data set that in…

In Their Own Voices
This study qualitatively examines the intersections of risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV infection in South Africa. Eighteen women seeking services for relationship violence were asked semistructured questions regarding their abusive experiences and HIV risk. Participants had experienced myriad forms of abuse, which reinforced each other to create a climate that sustained abuse and multiplied HIV risk. Male partners having multiple…

Decentralizing for a Deeper, More Supple Democracy
We review recent evidence regarding decentralization and state strength and argue that decentralization can deepen democracy without compromising state strength if adequately designed. We examine how decentralization affects five key aspects of state strength: 1) Authority over territory and people, 2) Conflict prevention 3) Policy autonomy and the ability to uphold the law, 4) Responsive, accountable service provision, and 5) Social learning. We…

Islamism, Secularism and the Woman Question in the Aftermath of the Arab Spring
The uprisings that led to regime change during the early period of the Arab Spring were initially inclusive and pluralistic in nature, with men and women from every political and religious orientation engaging actively in political activities on the street and in virtual spaces. While there was an opening of political space for women and the inclusion of demands of marginalized groups in the activists’ agenda, the struggle to reimagine national i…
Measuring political commitment and opportunities to advance food and nutrition security
Lack of political commitment has been identified as a primary reason for the low priority that food and nutrition interventions receive from national governments relative to the high disease burden caused by malnutrition. Researchers have identified a number of factors that contribute to food and nutrition's 'low-priority cycle' on national policy agendas, but few tools exist to rapidly measure political commitment and identify opportunities to a…

Correlates of HIV Testing Among Abused Women in South Africa
Gender-based violence increases a woman's risk for HIV but little is known about her decision to get tested. We interviewed 97 women seeking abuse-related services from a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Johannesburg, South Africa. Forty-six women (47%) had been tested for HIV. Caring for children (odds ratio [OR] = 0.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.07, 1.00]) and conversing with partner about HIV (OR = 0.13, 95% CI = [0.02, 0.85]) dec…
The connections between childhood sexual abuse and human immunodeficiency virus infection
A qualitative study was conducted with 28 women who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive and have experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in order to examine (1) the challenges generated by the experience of sexual abuse and related coping strategies, (2) the impact of the HIV diagnosis on their coping strategies, and (3) the links perceived by the women between their CSA and HIV infection. The interviews revealed that CSA raised chal…

condemnation of the occult does not imply complete disbelief.In the hierarchy of values, implicit in Alarcôn's vision of the world, free will and reason, being God's special gift to man, occupy a predominant place, while astrology is relegated to a subservient, if not sub- versive, role.This does not, however, invalidate the potential effectiveness of the occult and I see no complete negation in the passage quoted nor in most of the theological o…

The Hiv–poverty Thesis Re-Examined
Although health is generally believed to improve with higher wealth, research on HIV in sub-Saharan Africa has shown otherwise. Whereas researchers and advocates have frequently advanced poverty as a social determinant that can help to explain sub-Saharan Africa's disproportionate burden of HIV infection, recent evidence from population surveys suggests that HIV infection is higher among wealthier individuals. Furthermore, wealthier countries in …
South African Aids activism and global health politics
Aids policy responsiveness in Africa
As a result of massive scale-up efforts in developing countries, millions of people living with HIV are now receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, countries have been uneven in their scale-up efforts with ART coverage rates exceeding expectations in some places and lagging behind expectation in others. This paper develops a model that explains ART scale-up as a function of the responsiveness of political parties to their primary constit…
Bringing the state back in
Analysis of the politics of HIV programme scale-up requires critical attention to the role of the state, since the state formulates HIV policies, provides resources for the HIV response and negotiates donor involvement in HIV programmes. However, conceptual and methodological approaches to analysing states' responses to HIV remain underdeveloped. Research suggests that differences in states' successes in HIV programme scale-up reflect their level…
