We illustrate how four decades of methodological advances and improved data quality have facilitated the contribution of modelling to address global health challenges, exemplified by models for the HIV crisis, emerging pathogens and pandemic preparedness. Throughout, we discuss the importance of designing...
Existing evidence based on global modelling studies has shown that climate policies have substantial health co-benefits through reduced air pollution. However, only a few studies have used a welfare framework that incorporates the economic impacts of air pollution accounting for the climate feedback of...
Those responsible for the study have called for an expansion of services to deal with demand. "Strategies are urgently needed to equip the global health workforce to enable safe treatment of current and future patients," lead author Dr Brooke Wilson from Australia's University of New South Wales...
Defining the role of surgery in health systems remains a difficult problem in global health. Specifically, there is a need to define its role across a spectrum of diseases and what minimum levels of surgical intervention might be. In this report, we use prevalence data for diseases and conditio...
Modelling the health impact of diets that are both nutritional and low in GHG emissions shows the potential for significant co-benefits in health and sustainability from dietary changes. Future work is needed to find effective interventions to deliver healthy sustainable diets. ...
A theoretical framework for applying systems approaches to knowledge mobilization that is flexible will enable the implementation of a participatory action research approach. This protocol commits to a rigorous and genuine stakeholder engagement process that can be applied in mental health research ...
In this article the value of Twitter data analysis for a strategic foresight exercise is discussed. The article offers an overview of Twitter’s basic functionalities, previous Twitter research and related studies on using Twitter in foresight projects t
health outcome. Meanwhile, preventive interventions are expected to have a beneficial impact on mental health outcomes for some considerable period after the end of the trial [10]. Thus, model-based design is fundamental in an economic evaluation of mental health prevention due to its advantages, ...

Our results suggest that when there is vaccine hesitancy and relaxation of other public health measures, mortality could increase by up to seven times compared with ideal vaccination coverage of the population. Furthermore, for some scenarios analysed, longer and more stringent public health measures ...
