Patient-Reported Barriers to Foregut Cancer Care in the Deep South.

Background: Many patients with foregut cancer do not receive guideline-concordant treatment (GCT). Although social determinants of health (SDOH) have been associated with differences in receipt of GCT, the underlying mechanisms that perpetuate these disparities remain unknown. This mixed-methods study explored barriers to receipt of care among patients with foregut cancer.

Barriers and facilitators to accessing sexual and reproductive health services for people with severe mental illness: a systematic review.

Purpose: Despite increased prevalence of sexual and reproductive health problems among people with severe mental illness (SMI), uptake of sexual and reproductive healthcare in this group is poor. The reasons for this are unclear. Therefore, this review aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to accessing sexual and reproductive health services from a service user perspective.

Health and economic impact of caregiving on informal caregivers of people with chronic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review.

With a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases and severe shortage of health workers in sub-Saharan Africa, the region implicitly relies on informal caregivers (ICGs) to support the patients both within and outside the health facilities. The aim of this review is to systematically summarise evidence on the health and economic impact of caregiving on informal caregivers of patients with chronic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. Medline (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), Global Health, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched to identify original articles that considered the economic and/or health impacts of caregiving in sub-Saharan Africa.
