CGI 2023 provides a unique opportunity for scientists themselves to highlight the depth of their knowledge on the complex issues pertaining to Global Health and make meaningful connections with this influential audience that will change outcomes. We hope you find inspiration for talks and speakers here.
Health Misinformation Exposure and Health Disparities: Observations and Opportunities
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071321-031118
"How exactly are misinformation proliferation and health disparities related?"
Public Health and Online Misinformation: Challenges and Recommendations
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-040119-094127
"Individuals have always obtained information from outside the formal health care system, so how has the internet changed people's engagement with health information?"
When Moving Is the Only Option: The Role of Necessity Versus Choice for Understanding and Promoting Physical Activity in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071321-042211
"We propose the “necessity- versus choice-based physical activity models” framework as a conceptual tool to ground physical activity and public health efforts in LMICs, helping ensure that they are relevant, ethical, responsive, and respectful to local contexts."
Leveraging Mobile Technology for Public Health Promotion: A Multidisciplinary Perspective
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060220-041643
"Mobile technology—and the unprecedented scope and quantity of data it generates—has a promising but largely untapped potential to promote health behaviors at the individual and population levels."
Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071421-025508
"Heat is a dangerous hazard that causes acute heat illness, chronic disease exacerbations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and a range of injuries. Risks are highest during extreme heat events, which challenge the capacity of health systems and other critical infrastructure."
Public Health Implications of Drought in a Climate Change Context: A Critical Review
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071421-051636
"In recent decades, drought severity has increased in several regions around the world, affecting health by increasing the risk of water-, food-, and vector-borne diseases, malnutrition, cardiovascular and respiratory illness, mental health disorders, and mortality."
Technologies and Health Inequities
doi: 10.1146/annurev-soc-121919-054802
"Three classes of technologies have been associated with health inequities: kidney dialysis and transplantation, which has generated racial disparities; precision medicine and digital technologies, which may herald a democratization of health care."
Air Quality in Africa: Public Health Implications
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-100119-113802
"Air pollution levels in Africa can be extremely high and a serious health threat. The toxic content of the pollution could relate to region-specific sources such as low standards for vehicles and fuels, cooking with solid fuels, and burning household waste."
Mobile Health (mHealth) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-052620-093850
"It is in LMICs and marginalized communities that mHealth (could be most useful and valuable."
One Health for All: Advancing Human and Ecosystem Health in Cities by Integrating an Environmental Justice Lens
doi: 10.1146/annurev-ecolsys-102220-031745
"We are facing interwoven global threats to public health and ecosystem function that reveal the intrinsic connections between human and wildlife health. These challenges are especially pressing in cities. What does the One Health organizing framework offer?"
Extreme Weather and Climate Change: Population Health and Health System Implications
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-012420-105026
"Although adverse health impacts from extreme events declined over the past few decades, climate change and more people moving into harm's way could alter this trend."
