This themed issue focuses on understanding and addressing several public health issues affecting communities today nationally and internationally. Health disparities, and global health in general, cover a large breadth of health concerns impossible to address in one issue. Here we provide a scope of some health disparities while focusing on health promotion and well-being of diverse populations, specifically within urban undeserved populations, rural communities in Peru, Roma minorities in Spain, and refugee communities. We focus on understanding contextual issue that affect health disparities as well as on examining the effectiveness of community-based interventions and community coalitions designed to address disparities.
本期主题特刊聚焦于理解和应对当前在国内和国际上影响社区的若干公共卫生问题。健康差距以及总体上的全球健康，涵盖了众多广泛的健康问题，不可能在一期中全部涉及。在此，我们呈现了一些健康差距的范畴，同时着重关注不同人群的健康促进与福祉，特别是城市中未得到充分服务的人群、秘鲁的农村社区、西班牙的罗姆少数群体以及难民社区。我们专注于理解影响健康差距的背景问题，以及审视旨在解决差距的社区干预措施和社区联盟的有效性。
