Welfare states, the Great Recession and health: Trends in educational inequalities in self-reported health in 26 European countries

  • Authors: Leão T, Campos-Matos I, Bambra C, Russo G, Perelman J

In this paper, we examined how educational inequalities in self-reported health have evolved in different European countries and welfare state regimes over the last decade, which was troubled by the Great Recession. Methods We used cross-sectional […]

Connecting the dots on health inequalities: A systematic review on the social determinants of health in Portugal

  • Authors: Campos-Matos I, Perelman J, Russo G
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: International Journal for Equity in Health
  • Link: https://equityhealthj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12939-016-0314-z

Despite its considerable health inequalities, Portugal seems to lack a systematic strategy to tackle them, possibly due to the absence of organised evidence on the issue. We performed a systematic review […]

A tale of loss of privilege, resilience and change: The impact of the economic crisis on physicians and medical services in Portugal

  • Authors: Barros PP, Perelman J, Rego I, Russo G

  • Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168851016301877?via%3Dihub

Drawing from the economic literature we conducted 21 interviews with physicians, policy-makers and healthcare managers in Portugal, to explore their perceptions on […]
