Abstract "Health is a fundamental human right, but discrepancies in health outcomes exist globally - between high income countries and low income countries, and between marginalized groups within both. Our purpose in writing "50 Studies Every Global Health Provider Should Know" is to recognize and summarize studies that have transnational implications for healthcare among marginalized populations due to geographic, cultural, or socioeconomic reasons. Our goal is to provide the reader with information that can be built upon and utilized in their own healthcare context to narrow the healthcare discrepancy gap as well as to encourage advocacy and collaboration"-- Provided by publisher
