Research on subgroups is not research on equity attributes: evidence from an overview of systematic reviews on vaccination (Publications)
a subgroup is abundant, it fails to report on the interventions that will actually reduce inequities and consider how redistribution of health care resources could shrink the gap between the privileged [...] BACKGROUND: Equity remains a priority in the international health development agenda. However, major inequities in vaccination coverage jeopardise the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. We aim [...] explored the effects of interventions to improve vaccination in any context; f...
