“This is what a war does”- Trust, information ecosystems and childhood vaccination among Ukrainian parents: A qualitative study
Armed conflict not only disrupts health systems but reconfigures trust in vaccination and interactions with information. This study explored how the war in Ukraine has reshaped vaccine attitudes among parents living in Lviv, Ukraine and those displaced to Warsaw, Poland. Using a qualitative design, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 Ukrainian parents and 21 key informants, including healthcare workers, journalists, humanitarian actor…
Morbidity burden and predictors of hospitalization among unaccompanied migrants and persons prone to statelessness in Ghana
A proportion of global migration involves individuals migrating without parental or legal guardianship and those who face varied barriers to citizenship. Yet empirical evidence on their morbidity burdens and hospitalization particularly in Ghana and similar context remains scarce. This limits capacity for informed policy, planning, and response strategies aligned with global health targets. This study examined the burden of communicable and non-c…
An analysis of global legislation and regulation related to drowning prevention
Drowning remains a leading but neglected cause of injury-related death worldwide. While some forms of regulation, such as pool fencing, have demonstrated clear effectiveness, less is known about the broader influence of legislation and regulatory measures on drowning mortality. This study provides the first global analysis of drowning‐prevention legislative coverage, utilising secondary analysis of cross-sectional data, to explore country‐level a…
A scoping review of the literature on effectiveness of legislative and regulatory measures to prevent drowning
Drowning has been the cause of millions of deaths over the last decade. Regulation is believed to be an effective measure in drowning prevention efforts; however regulatory regimes vary substantially. This study sought to (1) map the coverage of legislation and regulation related to drowning prevention; (2) examine the effectiveness of these regulatory measures; (3) explore the lessons learnt from the development, implementation, and enforcement,…
Empowerment and resistance in bioethics: The case of do-it-yourself medicine
A recurring idea in the bioethics literature on new digital medical technologies is one of 'empowerment'. One issue that has been conspicuously absent from these discussions relates to resistance. To shine a light on this void in the bioethics field, the present paper highlights the importance of this concept within the phenomenon of do-it-yourself (DIY) medicine, that we broadly define as an activity where individuals create or appropriate a pro…

The Current Landscape of Studies Involving Intergenerational Letter and Email Writing: A Systematic Scoping Review and Textual Narrative Synthesis
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a renewed interest in intergenerational letter and email writing. Evidence shows that expressive writing, including letter writing, has a number of benefits including improved literacy and perceived well-being, and it can also facilitate a deep connection with another person. This scoping review provides an overview of the existing research on letter and email writing between different age cohorts. Of the 471 ar…
Self-harm in immigration detention: Political, not (just) medical
Self-harm within immigration detention centres has been a widely documented phenomenon, occurring at far higher rates than the wider community. Evidence suggests that factors such as the conditions of detention and uncertainty about refugee status are among the most prominent precipitators of self-harm. While important in explaining self-harm, this is not the entire story. In this paper, we argue for a more overtly political interpretation of det…
Intergenerational Contact in Refugee Settlement Contexts: Results from a Systematic Mapping Review and Analysis
The purpose of this article is to map research literature on intergenerational contact in refugee and international migration contexts. Using database searches on Scopus, Medline, CINAHL, PsycInfo and Education Research Complete, we identified 649 potentially relevant studies, of which 134 met the inclusion criteria and are mapped in the article by themes, date of publication, geographical distribution, study design, and targeted population. The …
Tokowa po ya ekolo ”: The Military Body Within the Congolese Army
This article explores the conceptualization of the body among former Congolese soldiers living as refugees in Johannesburg. The article draws on extensive fieldwork in Johannesburg, South Africa and employs the concept of deterritorialization and reterritorialization to explain the bodies of those who have decided to join the Congolese Army. The article reveals the complex ways in which the army manipulates soldiers’ bodies to generate diverse li…
Inequalities in Covid-19 Messaging: A Systematic Scoping Review
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been widely documented. While deaths are now in the millions and many more have been impacted in other ways, the impact of Covid-19 has not been felt equally, with it exacerbating existing inequalities and disproportionately impacting a number of populations. With this Covid-19 has created unprecedented challenges in relation to health communication, with the need to reach disadvantaged populations. This sy…
Risk and Health Communication during Covid-19: A Linguistic Landscape Analysis
Since the outbreak of Covid-19 health communicators around the globe have had to reach, urge, and persuade individuals and communities to adopt appropriate health protective behaviors. They have used a mix of communication channels, including outdoor media and public signage which are the focus of this paper. Drawing on a comparative linguistic landscape analysis, this paper critically examined the amount, content, and prominence of Covid-19 sign…
Anarchy and Its Overlooked Role in Health and Healthcare
In this paper, I will argue that a number of well-known health interventions or initiatives could be considered anarchist, or at the very least are consistent with anarchist thinking and principles. In doing this I have two aims: First, anarchism is a misunderstood term—by way of example, I hope to first sketch out what anarchist solutions in health and healthcare could look like; second, I hope to show how anarchist thought could stand as a mean…
Give incivility a chance
While it is nice to be nice, we should be careful in dismissing incivility entirely as is argued by McCullough, et. al. (2023). In this article we will argue that incivility, when conceptualised politically as a form of resistance has democratic value. That is, some types of incivility are not only justified, but can serve important ends, especially for oppressed groups. Several historical examples as they relate to health and healthcare speak to…
The delivery of health services as resistance
In this article, I will argue that the delivery of healthcare could be an act of resistance, that is, day‐to‐day, routine and perhaps mundane acts, undertaken in the course of the delivery of health services, which for many could also be considered otherwise routine care. I first consider how resistance has been conceptualised. How we understand resistance will determine if we believe healthcare could be conceptualised this way. I will show how r…

A systematic scoping review and textual narrative synthesis of trust amongst staff in higher education settings
Trust is an essential underpinning foundation of effective functioning amongst all staff in higher education. However, there is limited knowledge on the ways in which trust operates, including the extent to which it exists, is recognised, can be built, or lost. This article systematically scopes the international literature on trust amongst staff in higher education institutions, the value of that literature, the research methods used, areas of r…

Between Resistance and Complicity, the Australian Healthcare Community and 30 Years of Immigration Detention
This year marks 30 years since Australia introduced its policy of mandatory, indefinite immigration detention. We provide an overview of these policies with a focus on the involvement of healthcare workers, both within centres and externally, protesting these policies. We discuss several lessons that can be learnt from Australia?s approach, namely that traditional approaches to health and healthcare have done little to address the suffering of th…
Psychological Distress in Australian Onshore and Offshore Immigration Detention Centres from 2014–2018
This study examines the impact of length of detention and location of detention on psychological distress amongst Australian immigration detainees. This study employs a repeated measures cross-sectional study, utilising Australian government data from 2014 to 2018 that relied on the Kessler-10 (K10) to measure psychological distress. There were 21,703 assessments conducted which included 15,264 assessment onshore over a 5 year period and 6439 ass…
Resistance in health and healthcare
In this article I will introduce and outline the concept of resistance as it relates to health and healthcare. Starting with a number of examples of action, I will then turn to the broader literature to discuss some conventional definitions and related concepts, outlining debates, controversies and limitations related to conceptualizing resistance. I conceptualize resistance broadly, as any act, performed by any individual (or collective) acting …
Trust Amongst Refugees in Resettlement Settings: A Systematic Scoping Review and Thematic Analysis of the Literature
Trust is of particular relevance to refugee populations, given the adverse, often protracted and liminal nature of the refugee journey. What trust means, how it shapes and is shaped by this journey, is crucially important for this population group and it can vary substantially. The extent, range and nature of research activity in this area are limited; this article therefore reports on a systematic scoping review that explored trust amongst refug…
Contentious politics, human rights and Australian immigration detention
Australian immigration detention has been a contentious political issue for over two decades. Although Australia is a signatory to each of the major human rights instruments, the avenues to political reform in Australia in the area of immigration detention, including for the realisation of detainees’ human rights, are limited. This is variously due to immigration detention’s status in Australia as “administrative detention”, the bipartisan suppor…
Health, Social Movements, and Australian Immigration Detention

Healthcare and clinical ethics in Australian offshore immigration detention
Part of Australia’s ongoing efforts to deter asylum seeker boat arrivals, offshore immigration detention has been widely criticised since its reintroduction in 2012. These environments undermine the principles that would normally drive clinical and ethical decision-making, resulting in circumstances that are uniquely problematic and compromising. In addition to the more general complaints about Australia's policy of mandatory immigration detentio…
