Aims: Although individuals with lower socio-economic position (SEP) have a higher prevalence of mental health problems than others, there is no conclusive evidence on whether mental healthcare (MHC) is provided equitably. We investigated inequalities in MHC use among adults in Stockholm County (Sweden), and whether inequalities were moderated by self-reported psychological distress.
Methods: MHC use was examined in 31,433 individuals aged 18-64 years over a 6-month follow-up period, after responding to the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) in 2014 or the Kessler Six (K6) in 2021.

Kenya's health system grapples with providing equitable access to essential health services, but there is increasing commitment by the government to strengthen primary healthcare. The aim of this paper is to provide a baseline assessment of the capacity and training needs of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Nakuru and Nyeri Counties and identify priorities for intervention.

Introduction: Anxiety and depression are common in patients with rheumatic diseases, but their impact across conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and primary Sjögren's disease (SjD) is still not well understood. This study aims to compare depression, anxiety, and fatigue, and their effects on disease activity and physical activity in these conditions.
Methods: From January 2019 to March 2021, patients with RA, primary SjD and SLE were assessed consecutively in a monocentric cross-sectional study at the rheumatology outpatient clinic of the Hannover Medical School.
