Determinants of Mental Health Inequalities Among People With Selected Citizenships in Germany.

Objectives: Mental health is essential for overall health and is influenced by different social determinants. The aim of this paper was to examine which determinants are associated with mental health inequalities among people with selected citizenships in Germany.

Methods: Data were derived from the multilingual interview survey "German Health Update: Fokus (GEDA Fokus)" among adults with Croatian, Italian, Polish, Syrian, or Turkish citizenship (11/2021-05/2022).

Equivalent threshold sound pressure levels (ETSPLs) for Oscilla H210A circumaural audiometric headphones.

Objective: To determine ETSPLs for the Oscilla H210A circumaural audiometric headphones.

Design: ETSPL measurements were performed for 11 audiometric frequencies with the ISO 8253-1 (2010) bracketing procedure.

Study Sample: The study was based on 25 otologically normal test subjects.

[Health of people with selected citizenships in Germany: prevalence of non-communicable diseases and associated social as well as migration-related factors].

Background: Health chances and risks of people with a history of migration vary according to a wide range of factors. This paper aims to describe the health of people with selected citizenships on the basis of four non-communicable diseases (chronic disease or long-term health problem in general, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, depression) and to identify associated social and migration-related factors.

Methods: Analyses are based on data from the multilingual and multimodal interview survey "German Health Update: Fokus" (GEDA Fokus), which was conducted among 18- to 79-year-olds with Croatian, Italian, Polish, Syrian, or Turkish citizenship living in Germany (November 2021 to May 2022).

Influence of response-time limits on automated hearing threshold determination.

Objective: In automated hearing threshold determination procedures, prespecified response- time limits can be applied to evaluate whether a stimulus was truly heard by checking whether the test subject reacts to the onset and the offset of the stimuli within given time intervals. The influence of different response-time limits on the threshold of normal-hearing test subjects was investigated.

Design: Two-stage hearing threshold level measurements applying the ISO 8253-1 (2010) bracketing procedure were performed.

[People with a history of migration in the COVID-19 pandemic : Associations between life satisfaction and indirect socioeconomic effects of the pandemic].

Introduction: It is not only the risks of SARS-CoV‑2 infection and severe to fatal courses of the disease that are socially unequally distributed, but also job and income losses as a result of the containment measures. People with a history of migration are at increased risk of being affected by such indirect socio-economic effects of the pandemic as well. The aim of this article is to investigate the associations between indirect socio-economic effects of the pandemic and life satisfaction among people with selected citizenships.
