The Social

The rising availability of mHealth interventions—such as apps or text-based support—is seen as an unprecedented opportunity to enhance social equality in health matters. Results from various isolated studies support these assumptions, but no attempt has been made to aggregate and synthesise available evidence. This systematic review finds that while some disadvantaged groups can benefit from mHealth, the technology may also increase inequality in certain areas. Especially a low level of education and lower socioeconomic status appear to be barriers to benefit from mHealth. More coordinated research approaches focussing on specific topics and populations within the field of mHealth are needed to create evidence for informing the development of interventions that foster equality instead of expanding the social gap.

Pharmaceutical Interventions

In the absence of vaccines to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 governments had to respond by rely on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Socioeconomic inequalities likely influenced the uptake of NPIs. Using Norwegian survey data, we study whether income was associated with increased handwashing, keeping 1 m distance, using facemasks increased use of home office, and less use of public transportation. Except for using facemasks and less public transportation in a non-work context, all analyzed NPIs showed an independent positive association with income. Social disparities in NPI uptake may be important drivers of higher risks of disease outcomes for people of lower socioeconomic status.

Zip Code

This was an exploratory study to assess the association between density of fringe lenders (e.g.payday) and health status. For Louisville, Kentucky, ZIP code level data on hospitalizations and mortalityrates as health measures were compared to fringe bank locations. We found lower socioeconomic status(SES) positively correlated with greater frequency of fringe banks; rates of illness appear to be higher in ZIPcodes with more fringe banks, but this finding was not statistically significant. In conclusion, neighbor-hoods between higher frequencies of fringe banks appear to have poorer health; it is premature to rule in orrule out a direct or indirect association between neighborhood presence of fringe banks, but there is enoughevidence to justify additional research to put any conclusions on a firmer footing.
