Educational Disparities in Age-related Hearing Loss and Hearing Aid Use across Age, Gender, and European Region.
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci
January 2025
Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, Germany.
Objectives: Affecting one in five adults in Europe, hearing loss (HL) is linked to adverse health outcomes, including dementia. We aim to investigate educational inequalities in hearing health in Europe and how these inequalities change with age, gender, and region.
Methods: Utilizing 2004-2020 data from the Harmonised Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), a representative sample of Europeans aged 50 and above, we analyse: 1) age-standardized prevalence of HL and hearing aid (HA) use among eligible individuals; 2) educational inequalities therein using the Relative Index of Inequality (RII) across age, gender, and European regions.
How Can We Make Information on Equity in Clinical Guidelines More Usable for Clinicians? A Case Study Methodology of General Practitioners.

School of Primary and Allied Health Care, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are moving toward greater consideration of population-level differences, like health inequities, when creating management recommendations. CPGs have the potential to reduce or perpetuate health inequities. The intrinsic design factors of electronic interfaces that contain CPGs are known barriers to guideline use.

However, the potential benefits of DHIs may not be reaching the most in-need populations, who may face intersecting barriers to accessing health services and digital solutions. The Digital Interventions for South Asians in Cardiometabolic Disease (DISC) study used a mixed-method approach to focus on people of a South Asian background, a high-risk group for cardiometabolic disease.

January 2025
Teikyo University Graduate School of Public Health, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo Japan.
Aim: Oral health is important in patients with diabetes. While health literacy may promote preventive dental visits, the evidence is sparse among them. Additionally, because education is indicated as a determinant of health literacy, none clarified whether health literacy can mitigate educational inequalities in healthcare-seeking behaviors.

February 2025
The Healthcare Improvement Studies (THIS) Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Background: Inaccurate diagnosis of physical health problems in people with mental health conditions may contribute to poorer health outcomes. We review the evidence on whether individuals with mental health conditions are at risk of diagnostic inequalities related to their physical health.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL, 1 September 2002-18 Septemebr 2024 (PROSPERO 2022: CRD42022375892).
