Summary: This study investigated the adherence to social distancing measures in the United States and Canada and analyzed the individual sociodemographic, COVID-19 and social distancing related, and psychological factors influencing social distancing adherence. The results showed that adherence to social distancing varied across different time periods and regions, and perceived seriousness of COVID-19, risk propensity, germ aversion, age, and social support were found to have the largest effects on social distancing adherence. Public service initiatives emphasizing the importance of social distancing and targeted interventions for specific groups can enhance public adherence to social distancing measures.

Summary: This study examined the impact of social determinants of health on the quality of care for children with human immunodeficiency virus in Indonesia. The findings highlighted the negative effects of low socioeconomic status, lack of support, complicated health insurance procedures, limited care services, and lack of coordination, policies, and practices on the health outcomes of these children. Addressing these social determinants would benefit health professionals, particularly nurses, in creating holistic care plans for children with human immunodeficiency virus and their families, leading to improved outcomes and well-being.

Summary: Social epigenetics investigates the relationship between social factors and health disparities at the molecular level. By modulating gene expression through human-environment interactions, epigenetic changes may influence health trajectories. By applying a health geography perspective, this paper explores the potential for studying chronic diseases through social epigenetics and suggests a unique role for health geographers in driving this field forward.

Summary: Anaemia among under-five children is a significant problem in Lower-Middle-Income countries like India, with a prevalence of 58% in 2015-16. The study focuses on identifying determinants of anaemia prevalence among different social groups and regions in India from 2005-06 to 2015-16. Logistic regression models revealed the impact of factors such as child age, birth order, maternal anaemia, education level, and geographic regions on anaemia prevalence. The study suggests region-specific strategies to reduce the prevalence of anaemia among under-five children in India (Rating: 7/10).

Summary: This study used a meta-synthesis approach based on patients' narratives to identify the reasons for ACSC hospitalizations or ED visits. The findings revealed that poor disease management, difficulties in accessing healthcare, non-compliance with medications, difficulties in managing the disease at home, and poor relationships with providers contribute to the risk of ACSC hospitalizations or ED visits.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed healthcare inequities in the USA and how social determinants of health impact disparities in liver disease. Closing the gap in health equity in hepatology involves addressing social determinants at the individual, community, and societal levels through interventions such as systematic screening, partnerships with public health workers, and advocacy for policy reform.

Summary: This study evaluated the national and regional prevalence of HBV infection among pregnant women in China between 2015-2020, finding a continuous decline in prevalence but with remaining regional disparities. The decline in HBV prevalence has been widespread across regions, but regions with relatively higher disease burden on HBV infection should receive most attention in achieving the 2030 elimination goals.

Summary: This study provides evidence that prenatal maternal infection and anxiety independently predict early-emerging signs of social and cognitive problems in children, suggesting the involvement of multiple mechanisms in the prenatal programming of child neurodevelopment. The results underscore the importance of promoting prenatal physical and mental health for child health outcomes.
