Sociodemographic and Socioeconomic Determinants for the Usage of Digital Patient Portals in Hospitals: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Digital Divide

Sociodemographic and Socioeconomic Determinants for the Usage of Digital Patient Portals in Hospitals: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Digital Divide

The usage of digital PP seems to depend particularly on patients’ sociodemographic and socioeconomic status [9]. The most common determinants analyzed in this regard are income, education, and employment for socioeconomic [10], age, gender, and marital status for the sociodemographic determinants [11].

A Rent Subsidy and Identity Capital Intervention for Youth Exiting Homelessness: Protocol for the Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A Rent Subsidy and Identity Capital Intervention for Youth Exiting Homelessness: Protocol for the Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A common belief is that youth who have experienced homelessness will achieve socioeconomic inclusion—equity in health and well-being [1]—through housing stability. The provision of relatively stable accommodation is seen as a sort of springboard toward socioeconomic inclusion. Longitudinal studies conducted in high-income countries suggest this is often not the case.

Epidemiological Characteristics of Intestinal Protozoal Infections and Their Risk Factors in Malaysia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol

Epidemiological Characteristics of Intestinal Protozoal Infections and Their Risk Factors in Malaysia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol

Although this study focusses on Malaysia, the outcomes are also relevant for other tropical regions with similar socioeconomic, environmental, and health challenges. These findings can guide strategies to manage intestinal protozoal infections in regions such as Southeast Asia and beyond. This protocol was not developed with the involvement of patients.

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].
