The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global recession, impacting not only the economy but also health outcomes. This recession has potentially intensified health inequalities, particularly in deprived areas. Yet, the relationship between the COVID-19 recession and population health over time is not fully understood, and it's unclear which communities are especially vulnerable. We welcome manuscripts focused on, but not limited to: • Shifts in regional and global health inequalities during and post-COVID-19. • The link between the COVID-19 recession, health inequalities, and the combined effects of the recession and SARS-CoV-2 infection. • The recession's impact on various facets of health-related quality of life. • Strategies for enhancing resilience in countries, cities, and communities post-COVID-19. • Innovative methods for assessing the recession's effects on health inequalities and predicting its long-term effects. We invite submissions from researchers across various fields interested in health inequalities. We're accepting original research articles and systematic reviews, excluding case reports.
