This Article supports SDG 3 by describing a cost-effectiveness analysis of point-of-care HCV testing compared with standard of care (laboratory-based testing) in particular settings with people at risk of HCV infection (prisons, needle and syringe programme, drug treatment clinics). It found that all point-of-care testing strategies assessed had a lower cost per treatment initiation than standard of care regardless of setting of HCV antibody prevalence.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by summarizing the current obstetric care in place, or lack thereof, in tropical regions. It recommends actions to create and improve quality, preventitive care where it is needed most and ultimately reduce maternal mortality rates in these regions.
This article presents a cross-sectional study that aimed to determine the prevalence of blood-borne viruses and hepatitis B vaccination status in haemodialysis patients in Central Australia.
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommends hepatitis B vaccination for Aboriginal people aged 20 years and older who are not immune, as they are at higher risk of acquiring new hepatitis B infections.
This Article supports SDG 3 by exploring perspectives of Pasifika women on the barriers to, and facilitators of, HPV self-testing, as this population has a higher rate of cervical cancer incidence and mortality than European women and a lower screening rate.
This Article supports SDG 3 and 10 by highlighting the need for age-appropriate Indigenous strategies to improve health outcomes and reduce inequities for rangatahi Māori. This study provides an overview of Indigenous youth trends in Aotearoa New Zealand over two decades utilising repeated series of cross-sectional and representative surveys of secondary school students. Health inequities persisted over the 19-year period for rangatahi Māori, when compared to their Pākehā (NZ European /other European/“White”) peers, with few exceptions.
This Article supports SDG 3 by analysing contemporary mortality data to examine Māori and non-Māori mortality rates in rural and urban areas, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address the health inequities faced by rural Māori populations. This is the first study in a decade to compare Māori mortality rates across the urban rural spectrum and it is the first study to do so using an urban: rural geographic classification developed for use in health policy and research.
This article ties to SDG 3. This research examined the mental health of a cohort of asylum-seeking children, adolescents and their primary caregiver affected by insecure residency while living in the community, compared to refugees and immigrants.
This paper looks into the economic participation for people with a disability in the labour market to better understanding of how job satisfaction influences employment.
This Article supports SDG 3 by highlighting that a substantial proportion of dementia in First Nations peoples in Far North Queensland could potentially be prevented, as half of the burden of dementia in this population may be attributed to 11 potentially modifiable risk factors.
With the aging global population, the relationship between older people and their residential environments is increasingly important. This relationship is based on the match between the individual characteristics of a person, their needs and expectations, and the characteristics of their environment. By creating access to various health improvement factors and exposure to various risk factors, the conditions under which an individual ages can be modified. This helps to accelerate or decelerate the process of incapacitation that individuals undergo as they age. This can also reduce or reinforce socio-spatial inequalities, which underlie the preponderant role of territory and spatial policies in the prevention and promotion of healthy aging. This chapters supports the process for developing the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020 – 2030) aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3).
