The interplay between gender identity and sex assigned at birth in adolescents’ health and wellbeing
TGE adolescents have worse health outcomes than cisgender peers and, simultaneously, adolescents who were AFAB (cisgender girls and TGE AFAB) have worse health outcomes than those AMAB (cisgender boys and TGE AMAB, respectively). In health research, gender identity should complement, not substitute, sex assigned at birth
Territorial and social inequalities in mental distress and self-perceived health among schooled adolescents
Adolescents' overall health is associated to factors such as gender, sexual orientation, migration status, socioeconomic position, bullying victimization, and problematic internet use.

Association between exposure to pornography involving physical violence and risky sexual behaviors in young adults
In both sexes, an association was identified between the consumption of pornography involving physical violence and sexual behaviors associated with risky sexual scripts.

A framework to analyse gender bias in epidemiological research
The design and analysis of research may cause systematic gender dependent errors to be produced in results because of gender insensitivity or androcentrism. Gender bias in research could be defined as a systematically erroneous gender dependent approach related to social construct, which incorrectly regards women and men as similar/different. Most gender bias can be found in the context of discovery (development of hypotheses), but it has also be…

Social workers' perspectives on barriers and facilitators in responding to intimate partner violence in primary health care in Spain
An excess of referrals to social workers of identified IPV cases following consultation by other members of the PHC team, alongside the lack of interdisciplinary teamwork, does not enable a comprehensive and holistic approach to this problem. Compulsory, practical, and interdisciplinary training in IPV for all PHC professionals and students must be a priority for health agencies and universities in order to facilitate a comprehensive and quality …

Sickness presenteeism in Spanish-born and immigrant workers in Spain

The risk of disease, disability, and mortality as well as access to health services are unfairly distributed among the population, with certain groups bearing an unequally larger burden of ill health and poorer access to care due to gender, sexual identity/orientation, ethnic background, or class. According to the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH), these health inequalities emanate from socioeconomic and political factors (go…

No effect of unemployment on intimate partner-related femicide during the financial crisis
