<div dir="ltr">Despite massive international efforts to improve global health, a new analysis of nearly 4 million scientific articles finds that research is disproportionately fo-cused on diseases that primarily afflict wealthy coun-tries. Correspondingly, less research attention is given to diseases of the developing world, increasing global health disparities, concludes the study, published in PLoS ONE.<br>
"Our study demonstrates that health research follows the market, but likely not just because of the market," said lead author James Evans, associate professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, director of the Knowledge Lab and senior fellow of the Computation Institute.<br>
