Publications

• Open Access: Dr Nidhi Sadana Sabharwal (WICID Advisory Board) has co-authored a paper in a recently published Lancet Series on racism, xenophobia, discrimination, and health. The Series illustrates how health inequities are defined by structural racism and the resulting systemic, institutional and interpersonal impact that this has on health for minoritised communities. Dr Sabharwal’s co-authored paper and all others in the Series can be accessed here.
• Open Access: The latest publication from the Improving Health in Slums Collaborative finds that the level of food insecurity varied across the 7 slum sites of the study, up to 68.8%. Socioeconomic status was important for food security, as might be expected. More interestingly, household ownership of agricultural land was associated with more food security in all but one site in Kenya, where households with farmland were more food insecure and the migration status of the household head was generally unrelated to food security except in one site in Nigeria where migrants were more food secure. The paper, co-authored by Dr Oyinlola Oyebode (WICID Advisory Board), can be found here.
