- The importance of social isolation and loneliness on our health is widely recognised in previous research. This study compares loneliness in deprived neighbourhood with that in the general population. It further examines whether social isolation and loneliness are associated with health-risk behaviours (including low intake of fruit or vegetables, daily smoking, high-risk alcohol intake, and…April 2020Social Environment

In this research, we use a visual analytic approach to explore the association between education and health over a 20-year period for countries around the world. Method Using empirical data from the OECD and the World Bank for 26 OECD…April 2020Postsecondary Education
- Background: Increasing numbers of children have been forced to flee and seek asylum in high-income countries. Current research indicates that focusing on resilience and protective factors is an important long-term goal for positive mental health and psychological functioning of refugee children.Methods: We performed a systematic review of quantitative literature regarding psychological and…August 2019Migration
- The determinants of health inequities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations include factors amenable to medical education’s influence—for example, the competence of the medical workforce to provide effective and equitable care to Indigenous populations. Medical education institutions have an important role to play in eliminating these inequities. However, there is evidence that…April 2019Interventions, Systemic Determinants
- This special issue of Global Public Health presents a collection of articles that analyse power and its mechanisms in health systems and health policy processes. Researchers have long noted that the influence of power is implicated throughout the global health field, yet theories and methods for examining power—its sources, workings, and effects—are rarely applied in health policy and systems…February 2019Policy and Practice, Systemic Determinants
- The UN Human Develpment Index (HDI) was designed to measure human development not only by economic advances, but also potential improvements in human well-being. In 2010, the HDI Report introduced an inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) which measures the average level of human development of people in a society once inequality is taken into account.

- This data and its corresponding visualizations illustrate the probability of someone dying from the ages of 15 to 60 years old per a population of 1000 people each year. This is an important measurement because, in developing countries, disease burden from non-communicable diseases among adults is rising. Therefore, adult mortality is an indicator of a population's mortality pattern.May 2018Aging and Life Course
- Action on the social determinants of health (SDH) is required to reduce inequities in health. This article summarises global progress, largely in terms of commitments and strategies. It is clear that there is widespread support for a SDH approach across the world, from global political commitment to within country action. Inequities in the conditions in which people are born, live, work and age,…January 2018Interventions, Policy & Law, Social/Structural Determinants
- When comparing suicide in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) population to that in the non-Indigenous populations of Australia, there are significant differences in the rates of suicide and the age groups at risk of suicide. The etiology of these differences includes a history of colonisation and its aftermath including a burden of intergenerational trauma in the Indigenous…September 2017Suicide, Social/Structural Determinants, Historical Trauma, Systemic Determinants
- The significant rise in the number of international health electives undertaken by medical students and doctors in the US, Canada and UK reflects acknowledgement of the inter-connected nature of these challenges to health systems and the drive to help solve them. However, the next generation of international volunteers often operate under a conflicting duality: whilst many of their role models…June 2017Global Health
