Social Determinants of Mental Health


Rapid Review: What national or population-level interventions or policies that address the social determinants of mental health have an effect on mental health and well-being?
Expanded gender equality, social welfare and security, economic, and migration policies may have a positive impact on mental health and well-being, however the evidence base for population-level interventions addressing the social determinants of mental health is small and of overall low certainty.

Weight Stigma


Rapid Review: What is known about the experience of weight bias and/or stigma, and how does it influence health outcomes?
Experiencing weight stigma in healthcare may lead to shame, lower self-esteem, depression, anxiety and reduced quality of care. It may also influence the link between larger body size and negative physiological and psychological outcomes and poor quality of life.

Body Size and Health Outcomes


Rapid Umbrella Review: What is the relationship between body size and health outcomes?
Research shows that a larger body size may be associated with some negative health outcomes; however, this is not universal across populations, health outcomes or measures of body size.

Vaccine Uptake


Rapid Review Update 1: What is known about reasons for vaccine confidence and uptake in populations experiencing inequities?
Across all three equity-deserving populations in this review, a desire to prevent infection and transmission to others, trust in the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, communication of accurate and comprehensive vaccine information through trusted community sources and providing easy and affordable access to the vaccine were all factors supporting the uptake of all vaccines.
