Mr. Róbert Bata is an emerging public health researcher whose work focuses on social epidemiology, gender-related health disparities, and the behavioral and structural determinants of population health. With 5 peer-reviewed publications, 6 citations, and an h-index of 2, he has contributed evidence-based insights into how social perceptions, intimate partner violence, and sexual and reproductive behaviors shape health outcomes, particularly among women in low- and middle-income settings. His research integrates quantitative methods with socio-behavioral analysis to examine sensitive but globally significant issues such as sexually transmitted infections and violence-related health vulnerabilities. Collaborating with 16 co-authors across multidisciplinary fields—including public health, sociology, and international development—he works to illuminate the mechanisms through which social inequality influences individual and community health. Bata’s scholarship, exemplified by his recent open-access study on sexual perceptions, behavior, and intimate partner violence among Filipino women, seeks to inform health policy, strengthen gender-responsive interventions, and support equitable, culturally grounded public health strategies. His growing body of work demonstrates a commitment to advancing global understanding of the social determinants of health and contributing to more inclusive, evidence-driven approaches to improving health outcomes in vulnerable populations worldwide.
