Ende Februar 2024 wurde die maximale Dauer dieser Einschränkung von 18 auf 36 Monate verlängert. Diese Änderung dürfte die tatsächliche Wartezeit, die – wie Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen – derzeit bei über einem Jahr liegt, verdoppeln. Besonders betroffen sind ...

Existing studies on contextual health effects struggle to account for compositional bias, limiting causal interpretation. We use refugee dispersal in Germany as a natural experiment to study the effect of area-level socioeconomic deprivation on mental and physical health, while considering the potential mediating role of neighbourhood characteristics. Refugees subject to dispersal (n = 1466) are selected ...

In the general population, the 12-month prevalence of dental service utilization is 82.2%. For refugees, this indicator has hardly been measured, although studies suggest an objectively high need for dental care. Methodology: As part of the population-based cross-sectional ...

In der Allgemeinbevölkerung liegt die 12-Monats-Prävalenz der Nutzung zahnmedizinischer Leistungen im Schnitt bei 82,2 %. Für geflüchtete Menschen wurde der Indikator bisher kaum erhoben, obwohl Studien einen objektiv hohen Versorgungsbedarf ...
