This article (currently under review since July 2024 at BMC Public Health) is one of the key outputs of my doctoral thesis. The process of developing this manuscript has been complex, as it involved collaboration with multiple researchers. This was necessary because the project was funded by one of the working groups within CIBER, Spain’s network of excellence in health research, specifically within CIBERESP’s Social Health Inequalities group.

As a result, I had the opportunity to work alongside researchers with extensive experience and expertise, which allowed me to improve various aspects of my work, including data analysis, conceptual development, and academic writing. The article is currently under review, and I am awaiting feedback to make the necessary revisions.
