COVID-19 mortality among immigrants by duration of residence in Sweden: a population-based cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Differential exposure, as opposed to differential susceptibility, likely accounted for the higher COVID-19 mortality observed among those origins who were disproportionately affected by the pandemic in Sweden.PMID:38600446 | DOI:10.1177/14034948241244560 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Neurological conditions and subsequent divorce risk in the Nordic countries: the importance of gender and both spouses education
Conclusions Despite some variation by educational resources and country context, the results suggest that the social consequences of illness are noticeable even in Nordic welfare states, with the husband’s illness being at least as important as the wife’s.

Trajectories of antidepressant use before and after union dissolution and re-partnering in later life: a prospective total population register-based cohort study
Conclusions Our results suggest that union dissolution in later life is associated with large and persistent increases in AD use, whereas the reductions associated with re-partnering are limited both in magnitude and duration. (Source: Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health)

The History of Psychiatric Epidemiology in Finland: From National Needs to International Arenas, 1900s-1990s
This article discusses how Finnish epidemiologists reacted to local needs, which were born in specific circumstances and were controlled by science policy and funding opportunities. The development between the 1900s and 1990s is divided into three stages. The first Finnish studies in the field focused on the prevalence of mental illnesses in the country. The focus was to gain information for service planning, most of all to estimate the need for new hospitals and to set up the national social insurance system. After the Second World War, structural changes and social engineering fueled epidemiological interest. From the 19...

Interprofessional follow-up for people at risk of type 2 diabetes in primary healthcare - a randomized controlled trial with embedded qualitative interviews
CONCLUSION: The negative results of the RCT stand in contrast to the findings given by the participants voices, perceiving the intervention as a key eye opener placing their health challenges in perspective. How to interpret these seemingly conflicting findings of participants being seen, heard, and understood, helping them to take more conscious ownership of their choices in life, and at the same time demonstrating no improvements in symptoms or measures, is a dilemma that needs further exploration. We should be careful to implement interventions that do not demonstrate any effects on the quantitative outcomes.PMID:385884...
