Potential new explanatory megatrends, flowing from paradigm shift global political economy which largely passed under radar, yet produced fragmentation inequality, are identified, COVID-19 pandemic further intensifying trends. discuss methodologies estimate contribution megatrends outline potential barriers implementation, along strategies overcome them.

Abstract Aims Achieving equitable healthcare access is a global challenge. Improving whole-population mental health and reducing the burden of disorders key recommendation 2018 Lancet Global Mental Health Commission, which proposed monitoring national indicators, including proportion people with severe who are service-users. This study aims to derive an equity indicator from datasets integrating need, service utilisation socioeconomic status, demonstrate its utility in identifying gaps use amongst those greatest thereby guiding delivery. Methods We present case universal insurance scheme (Medicare) Australia. developed using three datasets. Geographic areas were linked area-based deprivation quintile (Census 2016). Per geographic area, we estimated number need scores ≥30 on Kessler-10 (Australian National Surveys 2015 2018), obtained services used, defined as health-related contacts general practitioners professionals (Medicare administrative data 2015–2019). divided by population averaged these use-rates across each quintile. The ratio least versus most deprived quintiles. Results Those have for 2019 ranged between 8.2% disadvantaged area (Q1) 2.4% (Q5), corresponding proportional increase 27.7% Q1 19.5% Q5 since 2015. Equity-indicator-adjusted rates 4.2 (3.8–4.6) 23.9 (22.4–25.4) showed that individuals highest care residing received stark 6 times fewer compared their counterparts, producing 6. Conclusions As prevalence common may be increasing, it crucial calculate robust indicators evaluating use. In this Australian study, enabling direct comparison different profiles. results revealed striking inequities persisted despite publicly-funded healthcare, recent reforms being high-income country. demonstrates importance feasibility generating such inform empower communities, providers policymakers pursue provision.
