This Article supports SDG 3 by assessing the effectiveness of a hepatitis B model of care in Australia, suggesting that the model, involving primary health care, could be rolled out nationally or internationally. The authors suggest that the model could have positive implications particularly for low-income and middle-income countries.

This Article supports SDG 4 by documenting significant improvements in fibrosis-based liver disease burden with direct-acting antivirals, among a cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis C.

This study supports SDG 3 by analyzing expenditures on hepatitis B treatments, promoting better health resource management.

This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating a hepatitis B screening programme in which members of the West African community in the Bronx were offered hepatitis B testing when they attended a blood pressure clinic visit following an educational intervention about hypertension. Almost all participants accepted to have hepatitis B screening, showing the effectiveness of its being linked to blood pressure testing.

The aim of the paper is to understand the culture around birth and indigenous people. This study aimed to understand First Nations women’s perceptions of placenta burial and a dedicated placenta garden in supporting connection to their culture.

Although Indigenous Australians critically ill with sepsis have similar short and long-term mortality rates, they present to hospital, die in-hospital, and die post-discharge significantly younger. Unique cohort characteristics may explain these outcomes, and assist clinicians, researchers and policy-makers in targeting interventions to these characteristics to best reduce the burden of sepsis in this cohort and improve their healthcare outcomes.

Climate change health risks in cities can be addressed with vulnerability reduction.

This study, which involved 1,344 sexually active cisgender women (aged 18–57), suggests that sexual communication plays a crucial role in the development of a positive sexual experience, both in single women and those in stable relationships. According to the results obtained, if there is a basic inability to regulate one's emotions, maturity and experience do not improve this association.

The study proposes a causal fairness algorithm to assess fairness in clinical decision-making. Our algorithm accounts for the heterogeneity of patient populations and identifies potential unfairness in treatment allocation by conditioning on patients who have the same likelihood to benefit from the treatment. 

Rohingya women displaced in Bangladesh demonstrate tremendous resilience in the face of severe gender restrictions and risks to personal safety exacerbated by climate change. They have employed information and communication technologies to share health information and resources, resist restrictions on their mobility, and forge new opportunities for themselves; efforts that contributed to controlling the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the camp in early 2020 and generating an innovative early-warning system to combat disasters exacerbated by climate change.
