Health Equity of Hypertension Management Between Local Residents and Internal Migrants in Shenzhen, China: Cross-Sectional Study

Health Equity of Hypertension Management Between Local Residents and Internal Migrants in Shenzhen, China: Cross-Sectional Study

Furthermore, internal migrants often have poorer health compared to local residents due to socioeconomic and cultural factors, with social integration and income inequality being key determinants. In 2017, internal migrants in Qingdao had relatively better health, while those in Shenzhen faced the greatest health challenges [8].

Unveiling Sociocultural Barriers to Breast Cancer Awareness Among the South Asian Population: Case Study of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India

Unveiling Sociocultural Barriers to Breast Cancer Awareness Among the South Asian Population: Case Study of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India

We aimed to recruit a representative sample of participants from diverse educational and financial backgrounds from the region, as socioeconomic status and education play a huge role in the participants’ access to health care in the region. Also, a cultural stereotype related to educational qualifications is widely propagated, relating educational accomplishments to open-mindedness, access to health care, and overall “success” in life [13].

Ever Use of Telehealth in Nebraska by March 2021: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Ever Use of Telehealth in Nebraska by March 2021: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Other investigations have found linkage between higher socioeconomic status [7] and Medicare/Medicaid insurance status [28] with increased telehealth utilization. These may be attributed to various factors, including greater access to the necessary technology, higher levels of health literacy, and more comprehensive insurance coverage, which includes coverage for telehealth services. However, in our analysis, these associations did not emerge as significant.

Four New Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Examining Health-Seeking Behavior in Persons With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (REDD-CAT): Instrument Development Study

Four New Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Examining Health-Seeking Behavior in Persons With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (REDD-CAT): Instrument Development Study

Health-seeking behaviors are further contextualized by culture, language, and socioeconomic factors, all of which underscore individual decision-making and behavior change processes in response to illness [5,6]. Comprised of both information-gathering and use of services, health-seeking behaviors have been studied in the context of coping among patients with cancer and other serious illnesses [7], and to a lesser extent, as a marker of patient activation [8,9].

Projections of Climate Change Impact on Acute Heat Illnesses in Taiwan: Case-Crossover Study

Projections of Climate Change Impact on Acute Heat Illnesses in Taiwan: Case-Crossover Study

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report uses 5 shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) to take more possible adaptation scenarios into account when modeling future climate change [11]. Global temperature is very likely to increase up to 2.4-4.8 °C in the high-emissions SSP5-8.5 (high-level fossil fuel use) scenario [12]. The Taiwan Earth System Model version 1 (Tai ESM1) is a regional climate model specifically designed to simulate and project climate features in Taiwan.

Using Social Vulnerability Indices to Predict Priority Areas for Prevention of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death in Cook County, IL: Cross-Sectional Study

Using Social Vulnerability Indices to Predict Priority Areas for Prevention of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death in Cook County, IL: Cross-Sectional Study

We sourced all predictive covariates from US Census’ “American Community Survey” (ACS) and from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s associated “Social Vulnerability Index” (SVI), which has 4 thematic domains: Socioeconomic (eg, estimate of people living below the poverty line), Household Composition and Disability (eg, estimate of single-parent households with children under 18), Minority Status and Language (eg, estimate of all non-White, non-Hispanic people), and Housing Type and Transportation

Social Vulnerability and Compliance With World Health Organization Advice on Protective Behaviors Against COVID-19 in African and Asia Pacific Countries: Factor Analysis to Develop a Social Vulnerability Index

Social Vulnerability and Compliance With World Health Organization Advice on Protective Behaviors Against COVID-19 in African and Asia Pacific Countries: Factor Analysis to Develop a Social Vulnerability Index

However, these indices are unlikely to reflect individuals’ capabilities to comply with the WHO advice because they do not include variables that influence behaviors, such as individuals’ socioeconomic status, perceptions and attitudes toward COVID-19, and trust in governments [24,34-36].

Ameliorating Racial Disparities in HIV Prevention via a Nurse-Led, AI-Enhanced Program for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Utilization Among Black Cisgender Women: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Ameliorating Racial Disparities in HIV Prevention via a Nurse-Led, AI-Enhanced Program for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Utilization Among Black Cisgender Women: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

These members will be selected to represent different characteristics (eg, socioeconomic status and geolocations) in the targeted community. Leaders from local community organizations and general community members will also be invited to strengthen the acceptability and quality of the proposed research. Once the CAB members are recruited, they will remain throughout the study. For Pr EP-eligible Black cisgender women, we will recruit 50 Black cisgender women who are eligible for HIV prevention services.

Analysis of Demographic and Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Adherence to a Web-Based Intervention Among Patients After Acute Coronary Syndrome: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Analysis of Demographic and Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Adherence to a Web-Based Intervention Among Patients After Acute Coronary Syndrome: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

We specifically examined demographics and socioeconomic factors influencing adherence to this telemedicine intervention. Identifying potential barriers to digital health care services informs hypotheses to improve accessibility to and use of this emerging branch of health care. This study was conducted at the Department of Provincial Cardiology of Ferrara, Italy, and was approved by the local Ethics Committee of Area Vasta Emilia Centro (69/2022/Oss/AOUFe; January 20, 2022).

National and Regional Trends in the Prevalence of Hypertension in South Korea Amid the Pandemic, 2009-2022: Nationwide Study of Over 3 Million Individuals

National and Regional Trends in the Prevalence of Hypertension in South Korea Amid the Pandemic, 2009-2022: Nationwide Study of Over 3 Million Individuals

Given that hypertension is influenced by a myriad of factors, including age, sex, racial groups, socioeconomic status, health behaviors, and environmental and genetic factors [14-16], it is crucial to explore the relationship between hypertension prevalence and these factors during the pandemic, moving beyond short-term trends.
