Abstract

Health literacy is a key driver of health equity, yet persistent gaps remain among ethnic minorities. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for English language studies published between January 2013 and December 2023 using the terms “health literacy,” “ethnicity,” “cultural competence,” and related keywords. Inclusion criteria comprised empirical investigations reporting quantitative or qualitative data on health literacy outcomes stratified by ethnicity. Two reviewers independently screened 6,124 records, appraising methodological quality with the JBI critical appraisal tools; 97 articles met all criteria. Low socioeconomic status, limited language proficiency, and culturally incongruent services consistently predicted inadequate health literacy across settings. Evidence based digital interventions such as bilingual telehealth portals (e.g., MiSalud), culturally tailored SMS programmes like Text4baby that increased prenatal visit adherence by 18 percent among Latina users (5), and community embedded mobile apps for chronic disease self management demonstrated measurable improvements in comprehension and self care. Ethnic disparities in health literacy can be reduced through intersecting policy, clinical, and technological innovations that recognise culture and language as central determinants of health.

Abstract

Tropical diseases remain a significant public health burden among children in rural areas, where environmental factors, limited healthcare access, and socioeconomic disparities contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates. This study evaluates the impact of climatic variables, inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, and healthcare accessibility on disease transmission. A systematic review of literature was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, employing keywords related to tropical diseases, environmental risk factors, and pediatric health. The results indicate that climate fluctuations significantly influence the incidence of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. Poor sanitation infrastructure is strongly associated with increased cases of diarrheal diseases and helminth infections. Additionally, rural communities face healthcare access limitations, resulting in delayed diagnoses and suboptimal treatment for affected children. Socioeconomic conditions further exacerbate these health disparities, leading to higher infection rates and adverse outcomes. indings suggest the need for integrated public health interventions that address environmental, healthcare, and socioeconomic determinants. Strengthening WASH infrastructure, improving healthcare accessibility, and implementing climate-responsive disease control strategies are essential for reducing the burden of tropical diseases in rural children. Future research should explore long-term intervention effectiveness and interdisciplinary approaches to mitigate disease transmission. Addressing these challenges through sustainable policy initiatives and community engagement is crucial for improving pediatric health outcomes in endemic regions.

Abstract

Bullying among adolescents remains a critical public health and educational concern, impacting mental well-being, academic performance, and social development. This study explores the multifaceted nature of bullying, focusing on its psychological, social, and economic determinants, as well as the effectiveness of intervention strategies. A systematic review of literature from academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO was conducted, selecting peer-reviewed studies published in the last decade. The results highlight the protective role of family support and positive school climates in mitigating bullying-related distress. Economic disparities significantly influence bullying prevalence, with students from lower-income backgrounds facing heightened risks. Effective intervention strategies include restorative justice practices, social-emotional learning programs, and anonymous reporting platforms. Cross-national comparisons reveal that community-based interventions, such as Finland’s KiVa program, yield more sustainable outcomes by fostering an inclusive school culture. The discussion underscores the need for comprehensive policies that integrate school-wide prevention programs, parental involvement, and mental health support. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess the long-term effects of bullying and the scalability of different intervention models. A multi-stakeholder approach involving educators, policymakers, and parents is essential to creating a safer educational environment. Addressing bullying through targeted interventions and policy reforms will contribute to improved student well-being and academic success.

Abstract

Achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in developing countries remains a significant challenge due to financial constraints, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, governance inefficiencies, and socio-economic disparities. This study systematically reviews existing literature to examine key barriers and potential solutions to UHC implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and other academic databases was conducted to identify relevant peer-reviewed studies published within the past decade. The findings reveal that financial limitations, including high out-of-pocket expenditures and inefficient health financing models, continue to restrict healthcare access. Additionally, infrastructural gaps, healthcare workforce shortages, and governance issues exacerbate disparities in service delivery, particularly in rural and marginalized populations. Despite these barriers, strategies such as integrated healthcare models, targeted subsidies, public-private partnerships, and digital health innovations have demonstrated potential in improving UHC outcomes. However, the effectiveness of these interventions depends on sustained political commitment, efficient policy implementation, and continuous investment in health system resilience. This review underscores the need for context-specific approaches to UHC financing, regulatory frameworks, and service delivery models that prioritize equity and sustainability. Future research should explore comparative analyses of successful UHC models and evaluate the long-term impacts of digital health interventions to inform evidence-based policy decisions.
