Ethnic diversity and racism have not featured strongly in English research, policy or practice centred on understanding and addressing health inequalities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have shone fresh light on deep-rooted ethnic inequalities and mobilised large segments of the population into anti-racist demon...

Foreword The NHS Race and Health Observatory is, first and foremost, a health research body. We exist to ensure that the best possible evidence is available to support the NHS to tackle ethnic health inequity. But when we speak about what we do, we're sometimes met with a challenge: that we already know what the problem is, that more reports and re...

This paper draws on the experience of two Romani and three non-Romani scholars in knowledge production on the health and social inequalities experienced by European Roma populations. Together, we explore how we might better account for, and work against, the complex web of dynamic oppressions embedded within processes of academic knowledge producti...

Background The concept of “intersectionality” is increasingly employed within public health arenas, particularly in North America, and is often heralded as offering great potential to advance health inequalities research and action. Given persistently poor progress towards tackling health inequalities, and recent calls to reframe this agenda in the...

While transnational social ties and exchanges are a core concern within migration studies, health researchers have often overlooked their importance. Continuous and circular exchanges of information within transnational networks, also defined as social remittances, facilitate the diffusion of innovations, potentially driving contemporary social and...

Chronic diseases and their inequalities amongst older adults are a significant public health challenge. Prevention and treatment of chronic diseases will benefit from insight into which population groups show greatest risk. Biomarkers are indicators of the biological mechanisms underlying health and disease. We analysed disparities in a common set...

Background To date, there has been little research into the causes of, and solutions to, loneliness among migrant and ethnic minority people. Objectives The objectives were to synthesise available evidence and produce new insights relating to initiatives that aim to address loneliness among these populations, plus the logic, functioning and effect...

... Black women also face a five-fold higher likelihood of dying from complications during pregnancy and childbirth compared to women from other ethnic backgrounds in the UK [12]. The causes of these disparities are multi-factorial, including socioeconomic inequalities, inadequate access to quality healthcare, pre-existing health conditions and systemic bias [13]. These disparities necessitate targeted efforts to understand and address the multifaceted factors contributing to the observed inequalities in this population. ...
... The following databases were searched: EMBASE, HMIC, Medline, PsycINFO and PubMed. To provide conclusions and recommendations using the most up-to-date literature, 28 search date limits were set to retrieve articles published in the last 10 years (January 2012 to April 2022). Snowballing of reference lists for included papers was also conducted (see figure 1). ...
... Ennek legfőbb oka a szegénység, az alacsonyabb iskolai végzettség és egészségműveltség, amelyek hozzájárulnak mind a rosszabb egészségi állapothoz, mind a megelőző intézkedésekkel kapcsolatos korlátozott ismeretekhez. A személyazonossági okmányok és az egészségbiztosítás hiánya mellett a kulturális és nyelvi sajátosságok okozta kommunikációs eltéréseken és az egészségügyi személyzet olykor diszkriminatív hozzáállásán túl a roma lakosság bizalmatlansága szintén problémákat okoz az egészségügyi ellátásban [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. ...
... Intersectionality is an innovative research approach to explore health inequities and the influence of social context upon individual and group disparities [16,17]. Intersectionality was initially conceived by Kimberlé Crenshaw to describe the exclusion of Black women from White feminist discourse and exposed the unique oppressive and discriminatory experiences they encountered within the legal justice system [18]. ...
... Other Ontarians were conceptualized as experiencing the fewest vaccination barriers on average. In multivariable models, immigrant region of birth was the exposure of interest and conceptualized as a proxy for (i) identifying racialized immigrants, some of whom experience barriers to vaccine information and access stemming from social exclusion (13) and (ii) cultural, religious, and/or linguistic barriers to vaccination, which may be sustained after migration or spread through transnational networks (30,31) and for which tailored outreach may be possible. In models including all Ontarians, the reference group was "other Ontarians. ...
... The compositional explanation implies that health differs between places because of the distribution of types of individuals living there (Jones and Moon, 1993;Duncan, Jones and Moon, 1998). There is solid and well-established evidence linking different health outcomes to biological factors (e.g., genetic), demographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, ethnicity), socioeconomic status (e.g., education, employment, income) and to behavioural or lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, diet, alcohol, physical activity) (Scarborough et al., 2011;Kohl et al., 2012;Holman et al., 2020). For example, an area with a high proportion of individuals with low socioeconomic status or health-damaging behaviours is expected to have lower self-rated health and higher mortality than an area with low ratios of such individuals. ...
... While age and gender were generally well reported, detail on ethnicity was more sparse. Collins [25] found greatest reduction in loneliness amongst ethnic minorities, while existing research by Salway [47] has previously highlighted higher risks of loneliness amongst ethnic minority groups [47]. However in this current review, most included studies represented majority white participants indicating a key area for improvement in loneliness interventions [47]. ...
... A study by Holman et al. [33] applying MAIHDA to map intersectional inequalities in biomarkers using English national data included HbA1c, a measure of blood glucose concentration over the past 2 to 3 months used to diagnose diabetes. Examining intersectional strata de ned by gender, ethnicity, education, and income, they found some between-strata variance for HbA1c with lowest levels in White women with high education and high income, and highest levels in Black and Minority Ethnicity men with low education and low income. ...
... Isso se deve às medidas de isolamento e distanciamento social implementadas para controlar e diminuir a transmissão da doença. [7][8][9][10][11] A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) estima que a queda na cobertura vacinal durante a pandemia de COVID-19 deixará cerca de 117 milhões de crianças suscetíveis a doenças imunopreveníveis no mundo. 12 Tendo em vista a necessidade de monitorar as coberturas vacinais, quantificar as diferenças e mensurar uma possível redução da cobertura vacinal no Brasil, devido à pandemia de COVID-19, este estudo tem como objetivo descrever a cobertura das vacinas pneumocócica, contra poliomielite e rotavírus de 2017 a 2020, nas regiões e UFs. ...
