Background:
The experiences in coping with HIV/AIDS from people living with HIV (PLWH) in Austria, Munich, and Berlin regarding adherence, antiretroviral therapy (ART), stigmatization, and discrimination were the main focus of this study. Therapy adherence is the cornerstone for PLWH to reduce disease progression and increase life expectancy combi...
In this opinion paper, we reflect on global health and global health education as well as challenges that the coming generation are likely to face. As the field is rapidly changing, it is vital to critically reflect categories of “global south” and “global north” as geographical boundaries, and rather think in terms of inequalities that are present...
Background: Successful epidemic preparedness and response require an understanding of social behaviour: social values, priorities and practices fundamentally shape human engagements with measures to prepare for and to prevent epidemics and antimicrobial resistance. Because of its capacity to document and evaluate health-seeking behaviors, local und...
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a significant burden on health care systems worldwide with health care workers (HCWs) delivering care under unprecedented conditions. This study deals with HCWs' physical, mental, emotional and professional challenges of working during the COVID-19 pandemic and seeks to understand structural determinants...
Infectious threats, including pandemics, require a careful understanding
of local contexts and global processes. Here, the social sciences can offer important contributions.
Background: Geophagy, the consumption of soil, is well documented in Africa and other continents, but is
rarely investigated in Asia and even less so in India. The main aim of this exploratory qualitative study was
therefore to understand the motivation for clay consumption, the social perception of the habit, the mode
and quantity of consumption,...

... Preparedness and response activities must convene to people's demands and their cultural needs. Osborne et al. [4] point out the advantages of integrating social sciences into epidemiological research, as they " ll a gap left by traditional infectious disease science" and "provide not only appropriate methods for working with communities but also the theoretical and experiential knowledge that adds to a fruitful and empowering engagement process." One such social science approach is the concept of community engagement (CE), which will be discussed in this paper based on recently implemented community health projects in three partner countries of the SoNAR-Global project. ...

... 5 6 As a consequence, emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and AMR urgently require transformations in global public health governance. [7][8][9] EIDs and AMR are not only medical problems; they require careful attention to the relationship between infectious events, political, economic and ecological conditions, and to local communities and the marginalised people who often live within them . Such attention remains particularly important when instability (caused by infectious disease outbreaks, conflicts or other stresses) exaggerates local inequalities, hampering effective preparedness and response efforts. ...
