Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As part of the tripartite evolution, health geography emerged alongside the population health perspective and a shift from the biomedical notion of health to an increased recognition of the role of socio-ecological factors that shape health and well-being. Owing to these shifts, health geographers have made substantial contributions to global health research in the areas of theoretically informed research, methodological innovation and diversity and evidence-based research translating into health policy and practice. By establishing the reciprocal relationship between place and human health, health geographers have expanded global health scholarship by demonstrating that geography and health are inextricably linked. This review provides a background of recent developments in health geography and demonstrates how health geographers can leverage their expertise by adopting new technologies in the face of emerging global health challenges.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
