Global Learning for Health Equity: A Literature Review

“…As depicted in Figure 1 , few published sources (N=11) [ 16 26 27 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 ] report actual implementation of global ideas into local US communities to promote health equity or a related outcome. Most sources in this category are brief overviews of projects, and very few describe the full implementation and associated health equity outcomes.…”

“…Outcomes included increased social participation in health [92]; HIV access and treatment outcomes [95]; health care disparities, and social participation for underrepresented groups [89,96]; community engagement outcomes [27]; community resilience and, wellbeing [90]; mental health [89]; and social isolation [26]. First, all agreed that the field of global learning is nascent and evolving and requires a unifying name.…”

“…66 More recently, projects were undertaken with mothers or caregivers of malnourished or HIV-positive children and healthcare workers in a South African township, 70 and with formerly incarcerated prisoners in Los Angeles focusing on better integrating local health and social care services to support re-entry into the community. 71 Green et al's systematic review of EBCD found increasing reports in the peer-reviewed literature from 2014 onwards. 72 The majority of the 20 studies in the review were conducted in hospital settings in the UK, mostly in mental health, cancer, and paediatrics.…”

The Importance of Incorporating Lived Experience in Efforts to Reduce Australian Reincarceration Rates

“…A variety of models are emerging, including those that seek to engage service user experiences in the program design process (Greenhalgh et al 2016;West 2019). While not yet widely applied in the criminal justice system, examples do exist. A recent pilot project in Los Angeles engaged people returning to the community from prison together with providers of health, social and justice services to identify priority areas for improvement, test promising ideas in service delivery and assess the feasibility of using the co-design process in other jurisdictions (Mendel et al 2019). The results of this project are not yet available.…”
