DIEZ, Julia et al. Trends and determinants of social inequities in cardiovascular risk factors in Spain: a mixed-methods study. Gac Sanit [online]. 2023, vol.37, 102298.  Epub 01-Nov-2024. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2023.102298.

This sequential mixed-methods study aims to: 1) assess spatial and temporal trends in cardiovascular risk factors by socioeconomic position from 2001 to 2020 in Spain; 2) explore public health professionals' perspectives regarding interventions that might have impacted these inequities; and 3) analyze determinants on social inequities in cardiovascular risk factors. First, we will measure the change in absolute and relative social inequities in eight cardiovascular risk factors through time trend analysis using repeated cross-sectional data from both National and European Health Surveys for Spain from 2001 to 2020. Second, we will interview key informants -both at the regional and national level-, to contextualize data obtained in phase 1 and capture the content and variation of policies across regions. Third, we will use econometric methods to analyze how these identified interventions have impacted these social inequities within and across regions.
