Summary: This study aimed to analyze the perception of polypathology among migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa living with HIV/AIDS and type 2 diabetes in France, and identify barriers and facilitators to their self-management. A total of 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. The study highlighted the challenges and complexity related to the socioeconomic and cultural specificities in self-managing diabetes and HIV in this population. Self-management could be more successful if individual coping resources are identified and patients and carers move in the same direction.

Summary: Students from lower socio-economic backgrounds are underrepresented in UK medical schools. This study explores what factors applicants value when choosing medical schools and how this relates to their socioeconomic background. The study found that applicants from lower backgrounds prioritize proximity to home, while those from higher backgrounds prioritize the perceived prestige of medical schools. These differences in priorities may help explain the differential patterns of medical school applications and success rates among applicants from different social backgrounds.
