This is insufficient to fully account for the neglect however, as previous WGII assessments have integrated place-based analyses, examined vulnerable sub-populations, and focused on the broader socio-economic context shaping vulnerability and adaptation.
There is also proposed guidance for expanded in vitro digestibility assay conditions to include vulnerable sub-populations.
Meryl and I worked together to create Mothers & Others, a group of concerned citizens that rallied to support NRDC in the fight for tougher pesticide residue standards, standards that thanks to a law passed ten years later would protect particularly vulnerable sub-populations such as infants and young children.
✓ Does the intervention consider and support vulnerable sub-populations (e.g. migrants)?
In many developed and developing country settings, prevention trials are feasible only among vulnerable sub-populations at increased risk of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) [ 11, 12].
As noted in this paper, it is likely that such stresses impacted the public health infrastructure with a negative effect on vulnerable sub-populations, including infants.
However, severe courses of disease occur among vulnerable sub-populations and large case numbers have a high impact on the population level [ 4, 5].
The use of uncertainty factors to compensate for interspecies and intra-species variability, including that related to possible vulnerable sub-populations (e.g. infants and children), therefore addresses degrees of uncertainty in the risk assessment.
Using routine demographic information collected, evaluation of potential disparities in access to kidney transplantation and time spent on dialysis among vulnerable sub-populations such as Aboriginal People will be immediately feasible with this dataset.
Personal dissemination networks have been shown to be particularly vital for vulnerable sub-populations [ 29], and interpersonal information is often perceived as more credible and efficient than official information sources [ 10, 30].
In many developed and developing countries, such trials are feasible only among vulnerable sub-populations at high-risk of HIV infection and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)[ 13, 14], where poverty, stigma and social exclusion are significant barriers to local health care access and decisions regarding SoC provision are therefore paramount [ 15- 18].
