TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the association between Lithuania's alcohol control policies and adult all-cause mortality by means of general additive models, and found that during the period 2001-2018, effective alcohol control policy measures were implemented on several occasions, and in those years the all cause mortality rate declined by approximately 3.2% more than in years without such policies.

TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in Lithuanian sample in August–September 2020 was 1.4%, which suggests more than 10 times higher prevalence of virus across the population than the official estimates.

TL;DR: Tobacco control remains vital for addressing social inequalities in health by education, and focus on the least educated is required to address increasing relative inequalities.

TL;DR: Qualitative research showed that the priorities of management of primary health care institutions were work management of an organization; human resources management; patient management; and health policy decision making.

TL;DR: Results indicate that factors located within the healthcare system are relevant for health inequalities, as inequalities in mortality amenable to medical care are present in all healthcare systems.
