The results may not, therefore, be general to the health of other population sub-groups.
The method is also generalisable to other population sub-groups who experience health disadvantage, and for whom an equitable model of health service delivery can be identified.
Many studies have focused on young children's exposure to the disease (1), and to some extent the effects on pregnant women (2), without evaluating the malaria status of other population sub-groups.
While clinical trials have provided information related to heterosexual sero-discordant couples, additional information related to men who have sex with men and other vulnerable population sub-groups (e.g., people who inject drugs) is urgently required in order to advance these discussions.
Depending on the assessment context, it can be debated whether specific RRs can be extrapolated to other regions, time periods, substance mixtures, or population sub-groups [ 7, 39, 55].
For example, the incentive to forego smoking is small for population sub-groups who are likely to die from some other cause anyway before the effects of their smoking lead to disease [26].
The result is unconscionable health disparities among population sub-groups that reflect shameful underlying health-care injustices.
The population sub-group analysis considered the annual insurance premium when only a particular sub-group was vaccinated (Table 4).
In sensitivity analysis, we conducted stratified analyses for specific population sub-groups.
This occurs when allele frequencies differ between population sub-groups and cases and controls are drawn differentially from those sub-groups.
We also explored key outcomes by the 6 sub-groups to determine if pandemic vaccines would be particularly beneficial in any population sub-group if resources only allow for selected sub-groups to be vaccinated.
