... Much of the literature is based on adults, relating to specific subpopulations such as slum dwellers [14], construction workers [15], and workers engaged in transportation [16,17]. It is not surprising that a multitude of migrants' health studies shows that migrants tend to report worse self-assessed health compared to nonmigrants [18,19]However, health inequalities between migrants and non-migrants do not follow a unitary pattern, some studies found that migrants tend to report better self-reported health than their native counterparts [20][21][22]. Since migration functions in conjunction with other health factors, poor socioeconomic status has frequently been shown as the driving force of health adversities [23,24]. ...

... Organizational health literacy assessments are not as widely available; however, this landscape is changing. 12 Two commonly used tools to assess personal health literacy are the Short Assessment of Health Literacy (SAHL) and the Rapid Assessment of Health Literacy in Adult Medicine-Short Form (REALM-SF). These brief assessments measure print and oral health literacy, respectively, and identify patients at risk for low health literacy. ...

... A second avenue for knowledge translation is to encourage learning from the experience of conducting the pilots, and their evaluation, through the publication of project and evaluation reports. In addition, many research teams have published their findings in peer-reviewed journals (Heytens et al. 2021). A third avenue of knowledge transfer is learning from being evaluated by the teams that conducted the pilots, although this form of translation is highly dependent on whether the measures piloted will be continued in the future, which often requires an enabling decision at policy level. ...

... Vielmehr scheint gerade in der ambulanten Suchtrehabilitation die Digitalisierung vor allem im Bereich Kommunikation und Fortbildung und das damit teils einhergehende Arbeiten im Homeoffice bei den Mitarbeitenden nicht von Nachteil zu sein, sondern kann potenziell zu einer Abnahme beziehungsweise Bewältigung von Belastungen beitragen. Gemäß einer Studie aus der Anfangszeit der Pandemie in einem Universitätsklinikum beeinflussen digitale Arbeits-und Kommunikationsstrukturen die Qualität der interprofessionellen Zusammenarbeit und den Teamzusammenhalt überwiegend positiv(Härter et al. 2020). Annac et al. berichteten kürzlich Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Befragung von Mitarbeitenden aus zwei Rehakliniken. ...

... 25 The uncertainty about the influence of religion on cancer screening use is further increased by the diverging pathways that one could imagine between those two factors: On the one hand, the social and integrative aspect of religion may enhance screening rates among religious individuals, as a higher social support is associated with increased utilization of preventive health services. 33,34 Furthermore, it is hypothesized that religious individuals score higher among personality traits such as conscientiousness, which are also related to an increased use of preventive cancer medicine. 35 On the other hand, highly religious individuals may have tendencies to mistrust academic medicine and therefore have decreased levels of preventive services utilization. ...

... In the following, we will therefore relate our findings to those from studies applying other functional measures of social relations, such as social integration and social anchorage among middle-aged and older people [8,[14][15][16][17]. Two previous studies on social integration and social anchorage found no association with GP utilisation in individuals aged 50 years and older, nor in individuals aged 60-78 years, respectively [15,26]. On the other hand, the latter study also found that a sense of community cohesion and belonging was associated with a higher frequency of GP use. ...

... This supports previous findings of a positive association between social well-being and outpatient visits. 10,82 Outpatient care often supports tertiary-level prevention, which can sustain recovery and reduce the need for urgent care. 83 Therefore, our findings suggest that psychosocial interventions may lead to improved preventive care in the outpatient context, which in turn, may lead to less emergency and inpatient care utilization. ...
