How do early weight trajectories explain social inequalities in lung function in children with cystic fibrosis? A longitudinal interventional disparity effects analysis with time-varying mediators and intermediate confounders.
Epidemiology
December 2024
Department of Public Health, Policy and Systems, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) from socioeconomically deprived areas have poorer growth, worse lung function, and shorter life expectancy than their less-deprived peers. While early growth is associated with lung function around age 6, it is unclear whether improving early growth in the most deprived children reduces inequalities in lung function.
Methods: We used data from the UK CF Registry, tracking children born 2000-2010 up to 2016.
Preschool and Me: Educational-clinical linkage to improve health equity for children with developmental delays and disabilities from historically marginalized communities.

Societal and structural inequities have resulted in longstanding health care disparities among Black, Latino/a/e, and low-income preschool children with developmental delays and disabilities (PCw/DD), depriving them of educational and therapeutic services that improve future academic, economic, and health outcomes. To address this issue, we developed Preschool and Me (PreM), a community-clinical linkage (CCL) implemented within healthcare settings serving historically marginalized communities. This novel CCL, an educational-medical linkage model, aims to increase access to school-based services for PCw/DD.

Centre for Health Policy, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Carlton, VIC, Australia.
Introduction: The field of genomics is rapidly evolving and has made significant impact on the diagnosis and understanding of rare and genetic diseases, in guiding precision medicine in cancer treatment, and in providing personalized risk assessment for disease development and treatment responses. However, according to the literature, there is widespread socio economic and racial inequities in the diagnosis, treatment, and in the use of genomic medicine services. This policy review sets out to explore the concept of equity in access to genomic care, the level of inclusion of equity and how it is addressed and what mechanisms are in place to achieve equity in genomic care in the international health policy.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious health, economic, and social consequences worldwide. Understanding how infectious diseases spread can help mitigate these impacts. The Theil index, a measure of inequality rooted in information theory, is useful for identifying geographic disproportionality in COVID-19 incidence across regions.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: South Korea currently has the lowest fertility rate among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, with a total fertility rate of less than one child per woman. This study explored the factors influencing future fertility intentions (FFI) among Korean women of childbearing age.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, we analyzed data from the 2022 Survey on Low Birth Policy Demand in Seoul, conducted by the Seoul Women and Family Foundation.
