That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

The idea that research results should be simplified and related to a media logic when being communicated to the public is challenged in a new report on research communication. “It is just as important, if not more so, to provide an understanding of what lies behind the results – of the knowledge and the methods used,” says organisational researcher Anna Jonsson.
