    Importantly, for our analysis, during the Panamanian lockdown, many locations falling within categories two and four (as defined by Google, Appendix Table 1) were formally closed, with location three (transit stops) largely available for those with a salvoconducto or going to grocery and pharmacy stores.

    Similarly, limitations of health service providers to only offer “essential services” beyond COVID-19 related care, as well as demand side concerns over infection risk of individuals in healthcare settings are increasingly evident in the outbreak. If women have the added burden of limited mobility, this may also impact health seeking behavior along gendered lines. Previous research demonstrated that, excluding obstetric care, women are less likely to visit hospitals, noting out-of-pocket expenditure, travel expenses and discrimination for travelling alone as reasons for low attendance (Anon 2020). Moreover, globally there have been trends of reduced admissions to emergency rooms during the pandemic, with medics suggesting this reflects individual’s concern about disease transmission in hospitals (Thornton 2020). We are yet to secure sex-disaggregated data for health seeking behavior during COVID-19 for non-pandemic related health concerns to understand how different perceptions and/or domestic demands may alter this interaction with the health system. Lack of mobility also poses concerns with increased time in the home and narrowed social networks, which have historically compounded issues of intimate partner violence (IPV) and safety in the home (Lanier and Maume 2009)(Goldenberg et al. 2014; Pronyk et al. 2006). COVID-19 has amplified existing rates of IPV globally, with estimates of increases to calls to domestic violence hotlines increasing 60 percent in Europe (Mahase 20...

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
