The study proposes a causal fairness algorithm to assess fairness in clinical decision-making. Our algorithm accounts for the heterogeneity of patient populations and identifies potential unfairness in treatment allocation by conditioning on patients who have the same likelihood to benefit from the treatment.
Rohingya women displaced in Bangladesh demonstrate tremendous resilience in the face of severe gender restrictions and risks to personal safety exacerbated by climate change. They have employed information and communication technologies to share health information and resources, resist restrictions on their mobility, and forge new opportunities for themselves; efforts that contributed to controlling the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the camp in early 2020 and generating an innovative early-warning system to combat disasters exacerbated by climate change.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by exploring the World Mental Health Report, which discusses the topic of mental health drivers and access to community mental health care in countries across the globe.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by advocating for a deeper understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions, such as Down syndrome, through a process-based approach that recognizes the dynamic and interdependent nature of development. By shifting the focus from static classifications to understanding the interactions and processes that contribute to neurodiversity, the paper promotes better health outcomes through more effective interventions and support strategies for individuals with these conditions. Additionally, it supports Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by addressing the limitations of traditional research methods, which can marginalize the experiences of neurodiverse individuals, and by advocating for inclusive research practices that consider diverse perspectives and promote equity in the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental conditions.
