Based on qualitative interviews conducted remotely with twenty-five women heads of migrant-sending households in rural Mexico, we examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender inequities in caregiving and social reproduction. Taking medical anthropology's call to attend to the disparate impacts of the pandemic along lines of existing social inequities and vulnerabilities, we describe how women navigated interruptions to remittance flows, social distancing and stay-at-home orders, and the shift to remote schooling for their children, and how all of these transformations compounded women's caregiving responsibilities and negatively impacted their health and well-being.

Using the Protective Motivation Theory (PMT), we explored HIV-acquisition risk sources and perceived protective factors from AGYW and caregivers' perspective.

Introduction: We sought to examine the association between pre-existing caregiving strain levels and care recipient health outcomes following a new cancer diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: We used the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) linked with the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) and Medicare claims to identify older adults receiving family caregiving within one year before an index cancer diagnosis. Caregiving strain was determined using NSOC items of self-reported emotional, physical, and financial difficulties measured before the cancer diagnosis.

This population experiences distinct and substantial barriers in accessing adequate dental care. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantify disparities in OHRQoL between PWDs and individuals without disabilities in Saudi Arabia, focusing on caries and gingivitis prevalence, and to identify specific areas for intervention.
