Inside The Issue: Global Lessons From COVID-19

The December issue of Health Affairs features contributions from researchers worldwide, analyzing the policies and programs implemented by various nations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting their trade-offs, and offering a forward-looking approach towards preparedness for future health crises.

Europe

The issue kicks off with a review by Mark Jit and colleagues reflecting on epidemiological modeling used to inform policies ([link removed] ) in Western Europe throughout the pandemic.

The authors highlight the similarities and differences between models, how they were used to inform policy, and lessons for future pandemics including the need for sustainable data collections systems and greater engagement between modelers, policy makers, and the public.

From Germany, Lasse Falk and coauthors explore the complex relationship between objective and subjective measures ([link removed] ) of the stringency of COVID-19 lockdown policies in seven European countries.

Their findings illustrate a diverse array of factors influencing individual perceptions and shed light on how lockdown policies may inadvertently worsen existing inequalities.

Latin America

From Argentina, Adolfo Rubinstein and coauthors illustrate the trade-off between the epidemiological and sociological impacts ([link removed] ) of public health and social measures in Argentina, Brazil, Jamaica, and Mexico using an integrated epidemiological-economic model.

Pedro Bernal Lara and colleagues dig into the impact of health services disruption ([link removed] ) in Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, underscoring the urgent need to enhance health system resilience to ensure continuous access to high-quality health care services during public health emergencies.

Their findings are reinforced by a qualitative exploratory study by Cristian A. Herrara and colleagues, who explore the impact of service disruptions ([link removed] ) through the perspective of health care system decision makers and managers.

Asia and Africa

Jennifer Seager and coauthors examine the role of government and non-government programs ([link removed] ) in mitigating the socioeconomic impact of the pandemic on adolescents from Bangladesh, Jordan, and Ethiopia.

Their findings support previous evidence that aid efforts were not responsive to age-based needs and remained inaccessible to the most vulnerable populations, urging greater consideration for adolescents in future crisis responses.

Also included in the issue:

A systematic review by Rory Smith et al. examines the effectiveness of various measures ([link removed] ) implemented by governments, public health authorities, and social media platforms to counter misinformation.

Ashley Fox and coauthors consider twin barriers to vaccine access ([link removed] ) in low- and middle-income countries: accessibility and vaccine hesitancy.

Alex Kazberouk and Robert M. Wachter

Today, we’re pleased to announce the continuation of our Forefront Series “Medicare and Medicaid Integration ([link removed] ) .”

This series features policy analysis, proposals, and commentary that we hope will elevate the issues for our audience and inform policies on the state and federal levels to advance integrated care for those dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.

Begun in early 2022, the series has already featured over two dozen articles by various authors discussing the advancement of integrated care for dual-eligible individuals, the CAPABLE Program, proposals for Medicaid managed care rules, the improvement of care for dually eligible individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, and many related topics.

Thanks to ongoing support from Arnold Ventures ([link removed] ) , we are able to reissue our call for submissions ([link removed] ) for this series. We will accept submissions until October 31, 2024.

Questions, including those about the suitability of a particular topic, can be sent to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
