The Global Compact for Migration and public health in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic: untapped potential for strengthening health systems

The Covid-19 pandemic has made policy-makers aware of the challenges of maintaining quality health care in times of crisis. Strengthening health systems is the key to meeting these challenges. The implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), agreed in December 2018, can make an important con­tribution in this respect. A comparison of the GCM objectives with the basic pillars of health systems defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows what this con­tribution could look like. There are many synergies and opportunities for action. The health policy potential of the GCM lies specifically in improving access to health services and meeting the demand for health professionals.

Tillidsfulde rum for tvivl: et essay om produktionsdramaturgens praksis

Dette essay er et forsøg på at give sprog til produktionsdramaturgens arbejde. Essayet er blevet til på baggrund af en samtale, vi havde med Sargun Oshana, husinstruktør på Aarhus Teater, hvor vi reflekterede over dramaturgens arbejde og de erfaringer, vi har gjort os i forbindelse med værkerne Lav Sol (Premiere 4. maj 2018), 4:48 Psychosis (Premiere 3. november 2018) og Audition (Premiere 12. april 2019) – eksperimenterende og publikumsinddragende værker, som har spillet på Studio på Aarhus Teater. Værker, der er blevet produceret kollektivt og ud fra en laboratorietanke, hvor dramaturgens rolle som aktiv medspiller og medskaber har været særlig tydelig

Mental health and well-being from childhood to adulthood: design, methods and results of the 11-year follow-up of the BELLA study

Mental health and well-being are of great interest in health policy and research. Longitudinal surveys are needed to provide solid population-based data. We describe the design and methods of an 11-year follow-up of the German BELLA study in children, adolescents and young adults, and we report on age- and gender-specific courses of general health and well-being, long-term health-related outcomes of mental health problems, and mental health care use. The BELLA study is the module on mental health and well-being within the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS). Standardised measures were used at each of the five measurement points of the BELLA study. In the 11-year follow-up, young people aged 7–31 years participated (n = 3492). Individual growth modelling, linear regression and descriptive analyses were conducted. Self-reported general health and well-being were both better in younger (vs. older) and in male (vs. female) participants according to the data from all five measurement points. Mental health problems in childhood and adolescence (measured at baseline) predicted impaired health outcomes at 6-year and 11-year follow-ups. Approximately one out of four children with a diagnosed mental disorder was not undergoing mental health treatment. With its 11-year follow-up, the prospective longitudinal BELLA study provides new and solid data on mental health and well-being from childhood to adulthood in Germany, and these data are important for health promotion and prevention practices. These results are consistent with previous findings. Promising future analyses are planned.Peer Reviewe
