[Once upon a time there was a place where we learned to listen. The Other Front line_voices for social justice].

Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic generated a new wave of social inequalities for communities around the world living in unjust circumstances . Lockdowns and health measures overlooked housing conditions, transitions to virtual schooling, ignoring homes and families without the technological infrastructure and skills to access education, as well as overlooking the availability of an economic remainder. informal employment.

[Climate change and vector-borne diseases. From knowledge to action].

Andalusia is particularly sensitive to climate change, not only because of extreme weather events, but also because of the impact on the population dynamics of vectors, pathogens, reservoirs and hosts, which has led to a change in the epidemiological patterns of vector-borne diseases. In order to achieve an integrated vector management for disease control, public action is necessary. This study describes the design of the initial phase of a strategy for knowledge translation about climate change and vector-borne diseases to the public, using transdisciplinary co-creation and the World Café participatory method with three discussion rounds to address strategies for three age groups (adults, adolescents and schoolchildren).

[COVID-19 on migrants and ethnic minorities].

There are still few publications that analyse the effects on migrants or ethnic minorities of COVID-19 or of measures taken to curb this pandemic, although early studies point to a greater impact on black, asian and ethnic minority populations in the UK or on migrants in Mexico. In addition to barriers to access to information and health services, we consider it a priority to focus on their living conditions, particularly those in situations of vulnerability or social exclusion. People who are unemployed or with precarious jobs, without social benefits, in overcrowded conditions, may be more at risk of infection and not receiving adequate treatment.

[How to adapt qualitative research to confinement contexts].

The confinement of the population, researchers, shows the need to adapt the qualitative methodology, techniques and tools, to the current context generated by COVID-19. The Internet and the social media allow the collection of textual data, sequences, images or narratives about a limited reality for access to it in person. We enter the era of e-research, nuancing and reorienting the observation, conversation, collection and analysis of information.

[Participatory tools and methods for community action. SESPAS Report 2018].

Participation is a process that requires the involvement of the policy makers, managers, technicians and staff of the institutions, and of citizens, as well as intersectoral and interdisciplinary action. To generate transformative changes, an infrastructure that encourages participation and planned action is required, and that recognises all the actors in the process. It takes time and commitment to ensure continuity through the joint production of actions, hence the importance of consolidating participatory projects that continue beyond political changes making public services sustainable.

Was access to health care easy for immigrants in Spain? The perspectives of health personnel in Catalonia and Andalusia.

Until April 2012, all Spanish citizens were entitled to health care and policies had been developed at national and regional level to remove potential barriers of access, however, evidence suggested problems of access for immigrants. In order to identify factors affecting immigrants' access to health care, we conducted a qualitative study based on individual interviews with healthcare managers (n=27) and professionals (n=65) in Catalonia and Andalusia, before the policy change that restricted access for some groups. A thematic analysis was carried out.

[Right of access to healthcare in the context of the Royal Decree-Law 16/2012: the perspective of civil society organizations and professional associations].

Objective: The recent publication of the Royal Decree-Law 16/2012 (RDL 16/2012), which introduces structural changes in the Spanish Public Healthcare System, can be placed in the broader context of budgetary adjustments in response to the current economic crisis. An analysis of the interrelationships among economic crisis, healthcare policies, and health reveals that citizen participation is one of several potential strategies for reducing the impact of this situation on the population. This observation raises the interest to know the citizens' perspectives on the modifications introduced by the RDL 16/2012.

Background: The recent introduction of adjustment measures in the Spanish context by means of the Royal Decree-law 16/2012 (RDL 16/2012), which limits access to health care for undocumented migrants, raises the question about the state of the matter in different European Union member states.

Methods: Narrative review of comparative studies published between 2009 and 2012 that analyzes the right to health care for undocumented migrants in the European context.

Results: The review shows a high degree of variability regarding health care entitlements of undocumented migrants in different European countries, a frequent legal restriction of access to health care, as well as barriers in the effective access to health care.

[Citizens' participation in health: education and shared decision-making. SESPAS Report 2012].

In recent decades, citizen's participation has become increasingly important in the field of public health, with the new role of the patient as an active agent, manager and producer of his or her own health, and the paradigm of patient-centered care. These changes have represented some of the most important milestones in the continuous improvement of healthcare. The involvement of patients is a new way of understanding the relationship between patients, health professionals and health systems, not only in terms of knowledge management and patients' control of their own health, individually or collectively, but also in terms of the influence that patients may have in health policy planning.
