Mano a Mano-Mujer
The impact of a professionally facilitated peer group intervention for HIV prevention among 400 low-income Chilean women was examined using a quasiexperimental design. At 3 months postintervention, the intervention group had higher HIV-related knowledge, more positive attitudes toward people living with HIV, fewer perceived condom use barriers, greater self- efficacy, higher HIV reduction behavioral intentions, more communication with partners ab…
Improving universal precautions and client teaching for rural health workers
Health workers can contribute to HIV prevention by minimizing HIV transmission in health facilities and increasing client teaching. We offered a peer-group intervention for Malawian rural health workers to build their universal precautions and teaching skills. A quasi-experimental design using independent sample surveys and observations compared health workers in an intervention and delayed intervention control district at baseline and at 15 and …

Women's status in peasant‐level fishing
The women of Minakuppam, a small hamlet of ocean‐going fishermen located just outside the city of Madras in Tamilnadu, India, are more active and less limited in their daily social activities and have more power than women in most Indian farming villages. This contrast is extended with evidence on women's status in fishing and agricultural communities in other predominantly agrarian societies. Several crucial features of political economy account…

Impact of Urban Growth
Religion and Nation Building
Conceptualization of the American Revolution in terms of political development raises questions about changes in religion. Viewing nation-building as one component of the structural changes in modernization suggests a decline in the strength of religious institutions an a lessening of the importance of religious orientations in political change. Opposite expectations are put forward by commentators who stress a basic continuity in American religi…

Societal Complexity or Production Techniques
Reanalysis of Udy's data for preindustrial societies shows that production techniques have a stronger direct influence that societal complexity on the structure of work organizations, including skill recruitment, specif goals, achievement, compensatory rewards, and ownership. The effects of societal complexity are equal to the effects of production techniques for only three bureaucratic elements: office rewards, hierarchy, and administrators. How…
