The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour (ILO) are developing a joint methodology for estimating national global work-related burden of disease injury (WHO/ILO methodology), with contributions from large network experts. Here, we present protocol two systematic reviews parameters number disability-adjusted life years cataracts occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation, inform development WHO/ILO methodology.We aim systematically review studies on radiation...
We analyzed the case of World Health Organization’s Commission on Social Determinants Health, which did not address gender identity in their final report. argue that is increasingly being recognized as an important social determinant health (SDH) results inequities. identify right to mechanisms, such established human rights instruments, suitable policy tools for addressing SDH improve equity. urge Organization add its conceptual framework action SDHs and develop implement specific...
Background This study aimed to improve on previous modelling work determine the health gain, cost-utility and equity impacts from home safety assessment modification (HSAM) for reducing injurious falls in older people. Methods The model was a Markov macrosimulation one that estimated quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained. setting country with detailed epidemiological cost data (New Zealand (NZ)) 2011. A system perspective taken discount rate of 3% used (for both gain costs)....
In previous studies, researchers estimated short-term relationships between financial credits and health outcomes using conventional regression analyses, but they did not account for time-varying confounders affected by prior treatment (CAPTs) or the credits' cumulative impacts over time. this study, we examined association total number of years receiving New Zealand's Family Tax Credit (FTC) self-rated (SRH) in 6,900 working-age parents 7 waves Zealand longitudinal data (2002–2009). We...
The forecast consequences of climate change on human health are profound, especially in low- and middle-income countries among the most disadvantaged populations. Innovative policy tools needed to address adverse effects change. Cash transfers established for protecting population before, during after climate-related disasters. For example, Ethiopian Productive Safety Net Programme provides cash reduce food insecurity resulting from droughts. We propose extending transfer interventions more...
Effectively addressing health disparities experienced by sexual minority populations requires high-quality official data on orientation. We developed a conceptual framework of orientation to improve the quality in New Zealand's Official Statistics System. reviewed and methodological literature, culminating draft framework. To framework, we held focus groups key-informant interviews with stakeholders producers consumers statistics. An advisory board experts provided additional guidance. The...
Background Some falls prevention interventions for the older population appear cost-effective, but there is uncertainty about others. Therefore, we aimed to model three types of exercise programme each running 25 years among 65+ year olds: (i) a peer-led group-based one; (ii) home-based one and (iii) commercial one. Methods An established Markov studying in New Zealand (NZ) was adapted estimate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) cost per quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained....
Background There is some evidence that home safety assessment and modification (HSAM) effective in reducing falls older people. But there are various knowledge gaps, including around cost-effectiveness also the impacts at a health district-level. Methods findings A previously established Markov macro-simulation model built for whole New Zealand (NZ) population (Pega et al 2016, Injury Prevention) was enhanced adapted to district level. This Counties Manukau District Health Board, which hosts...
In-work tax credit (IWTC) for families, a welfare-to-work policy intervention, may impact health status by improving income and employment. Most studies estimate that IWTCs in the USA UK have no effect on self-rated (SRH) several other outcomes, but these estimates be biased confounding. The current study of one such IWTC intervention (called In-Work Tax Credit) SRH adults New Zealand, controlling more fully confounding.We used data from seven waves (2002-2009) Survey Family, Income...
This article is part of a series commissioned by the International Epidemiological Association, aimed at describing population health and epidemiological resources in six World Health Organization (WHO) regions. It covers 32 53 WHO European countries, namely Western Balkan countries Baltic countries.The burdens mortality morbidity patterns risk factors inequalities have been reviewed order to identify priorities challenges. Literature internet searches were conducted stock-take teaching,...
Previous studies suggest that poor psychosocial job quality is a risk factor for mental health problems, but they use conventional regression analytic methods cannot rule out reverse causation, unmeasured time-invariant confounding and reporting bias. This study combines two quasi-experimental approaches to improve causal inference by better accounting these biases: (i) linear fixed effects analysis (ii) instrumental variable analysis. We extract 13 annual waves of national cohort data...
