Community-integrated noncommunicable disease service models
Background: Integrated health services are advocated for primary health care to address non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, evidence of care delivery models and means of scaling up is limited. This study examines community-integrated NCD service models in China, providing evidence on the steps that China took to reorient health services towards primary health care to address the NCD e…
Models of care for noncommunicable diseases in primary care
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) pose a global health challenge, with primary health care's (PHC) potential to address them underutilized. While efforts to design and implement effective NCDs care models in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are increasing, conclusive recommendations are lacking. This scoping review maps literature on NCDs care models in LMICs, examining elements, theoretical foundations, and outcomes to inform the developme…
Health systems strengthening through surgical and perioperative care pathways
Global health has traditionally focused on the primary health development with disease-specific focus such as HIV, malaria and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As such, surgery has traditionally been neglected in global health as investment in them is often expensive, relative to these other priorities. Therefore, efforts to improve surgical care have remained on the periphery of initiatives in health system strengthening. However, today, many w…
Health equity for persons with disabilities
Persons with disabilities continue to face considerable barriers when accessing healthcare services, which negatively affects their chances of achieving their highest attainable standard of health. It is encouraging to note the increasing evidence on interventions targeting equitable access to healthcare services, but they remain too few and sparce to meet the populations' needs. Profound systemic changes and action-oriented strategies are warran…
The WHO-ITU MyopiaEd Programme
The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the World Health Organization - International Telecommunication Union MyopiaEd programme - a digital message programme targeting education on myopia and its prevention. The development of the MyopiaEd programme included 4 key steps: (1) Conceptualization and consultation with experts in the field of myopia, mHealth and health behavior change; (2) Creation of SMS message libraries and progra…
Promoting equity in health emergencies through health systems strengthening
Discriminatory health systems and inequalities in service provision inevitably create barriers for certain populations in a health emergency. Persons with disabilities have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They commonly experience three increased risks - of contracting the disease, of severe disease or death, and of new or worsening health conditions. These added risks occur due to a range of barriers in the health secto…
Demographic and environmental factors associated with disability in India, Laos, and Tajikistan
While capacity was the main determinant of disability, individual demographic and environmental factors were associated with disability in a country-specific manner while controlling for the effects of capacity
WHO Systematic Assessment of Rehabilitation Situation (STARS)
The WHO Systematic Assessment of Rehabilitation Situation (STARS) tool was developed by WHO to facilitate effective prioritization and strategic planning for rehabilitation in countries. The objective of this paper is to present the results of the fourth phase of its development, its field testing in seven countries focusing on its completeness, usefulness, accessibility and feasibility. Field testing occurred in Jordan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Solom…
Global estimates of the need for rehabilitation based on the Global Burden of Disease study 2019
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation has often been seen as a disability-specific service needed by only few of the population. Despite its individual and societal benefits, rehabilitation has not been prioritised in countries and is under-resourced. We present global, regional, and country data for the number of people who would benefit from rehabilitation at least once during the course of their disabling illness or injury. METHODS: To estimate the need …
Which Environmental Factors Have the Highest Impact on the Performance of People Experiencing Difficulties in Capacity
Disability is understood by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the outcome of the interaction between a health condition and personal and environmental factors. Comprehensive data about environmental factors is therefore essential to understand and influence disability. We aimed to identify which environmental factors have the highest impact on the performance of people with mild, moderate and severe difficulties in capacity, who are at risk …

Cross-Sectional Associations of Depressive Symptom Severity and Functioning with Health Service Use by Older People in Low-and-Middle Income Countries
Depressive symptom severity does not explain a large proportion of the variance in HSU by older people with depression in LMICs. The association of functioning with this HSU is worthy of further investigation. In LMICs, variables related to accessibility may be more important correlates of HSU than variables directly related to health problems
Measuring Disability
The usual approach in disability surveys is to screen persons with disability upfront and then ask questions about everyday problems. The objectives of this paper are to demonstrate the impact of screeners on disability rates, to challenge the usual exclusion of persons with mild and moderate disability from disability surveys and to demonstrate the advantage of using an a posteriori cut-off. Using data of a pilot study of the WHO Model Disabilit…
Which environmental factors are associated with lived health when controlling for biological health? - a multilevel analysis
This study identified environmental factors associated with people's lived health differences within and between dwellings according to the MLIRT-model approach. This study paves the way for the future implementation of the MLIRT model when analysing ICF-based data
Towards a minimal generic set of domains of functioning and health
The minimal generic set proposed in this study is the starting point to address one of the most important challenges in health measurement--the comparability of data across studies and countries. It also represents the first step in developing a common metric of health to link information from the general population to information about sub-populations, such as clinical and institutionalized populations
Biological health or lived health
In general, people base their evaluation of their own health on their lived health experience rather than their experience of biological health. This study also sheds light on the challenges of assessing biological health and lived health at the general population level

Rasch analysis of the General Self-Efficacy Scale in spinal cord injury
This study examined the psychometric properties of the General Self-Efficacy Scale by applying Rasch analysis to data from 102 persons with spinal cord injury. Our results suggest that the General Self-Efficacy Scale is a psychometrically robust instrument suitable for application in a spinal cord injury population. The General Self-Efficacy Scale shows an overall fit to the Rasch model ( χ2 = 15.5, df = 20, p = .75), high reliability ( rp = 0.92…
Persons with disabilities, cancer screening and related factors
The scope of this article is to describe persons with disabilities (PwD) being subjected to cancer screening and the relationship between some social variables and inequalities in performing these tests. A cross-sectional study of cancer screening among PwD was conducted in 2007 with 333 participants interviewed in residence in 4 cities of São Paulo. Variables in the practice of cancer screening, disabilities, gender, age, income of main family b…

Translational measures of functioning and disability based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is the first universally shared model and classification of functioning, disability and health. It can be used as an assessment instrument based on ICF-derived tools, such as the ICF Core Sets, as well as a reference for other outcome measures and health indicators
