Documenting a long-term development model in the slums of Delhi
BACKGROUND: Achieving development outcomes requires the inclusion of marginalised populations that have the least opportunity to participate in and benefit from development. Slum dwellers often see little of the 'urban advantage', suffering more from infectious diseases, increasing food costs, poor access to education and health care, inadequate water and sanitation, and informal employment. A recent Cochrane Review of the impact of slum upgradin…
Tobacco and the Malays
Exaggerated claims for the socio-economic benefits of tobacco production, government investment and close links between tobacco corporations and sections of the Malay elite have created a conflict of interest in public policy, limited the focus on tobacco as a health policy issue among Malays and retarded tobacco control policy. More recently, ratification of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, regional free trade policies reducing t…
A Cultural Models Approach to Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment
This article identifies cultural models of osteoporosis, as shared by community-dwelling older women in southeastern Australia, and compares these with cultural knowledge conveyed through social marketing. Cultural models are mental constructs about specific domains in everyday life, such as health and illness, which are shared within a community. We applied domain analyses to data obtained from in-depth interviews and stakeholder-identified prin…
Smoking among Lao medical doctors
The willingness of doctors to take up their tobacco control role and the lower smoking rates among younger respondents offers an important window of opportunity to consolidate their knowledge, attitudes, skills and enthusiasm as cessation advocates and supports
Pathways to malaria persistence in remote central Vietnam
Malaria control cannot be achieved through community education alone in this region. Whilst appropriate awareness-raising is needed, it is most urgent to address weaknesses at systems level, including bed-net distribution, health provider staffing and skills, as well as equipment and supplies
A grim contradiction
Vulnerable but feeling safe
HIV prevalence is increasing in China. The proportion of infection attributable to heterosexual sex in China is also on the rise. The scale of internal migration for work is likely to be one of the factors contributing to these changing patterns, but little is known about HIV-related knowledge, perceptions and risk behaviours of China's migrant workers. This study aimed to investigate HIV-related knowledge, attitudes and risk behaviours of male r…
Fostering disability-inclusive HIV/Aids programs in northeast India
The Guidelines produced in the project and disseminated to stakeholders emphasise opportunities for taking action with minimal cost and resources, such as using the networks and expertise of both HIV and disability sectors, producing HIV material in a variety of formats, and promoting accessibility to mainstream HIV education and services. The human rights obligations and public health benefits of modifying national and state policies and program…
Tobacco control and gender in Southeast Asia. Part I
In the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region, being born male is the single greatest risk marker for tobacco use. While the literature demonstrates that risks associated with tobacco use may vary according to sex, gender refers to the socially determined roles and responsibilities of men and women, who initiate, continue and quit using tobacco for complex and often different reasons. Cigarette advertising frequently appeals to gender…
Tobacco control and gender in south-east Asia. Part II
In the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region, being born male is the single greatest risk marker for tobacco use.

Smoking and young women in Vietnam
Role conflict and rapid socio-economic change
Breast-feeding and public policy in Australia
The ways in which breast-feeding has been manifest in public policy at the Australian national level and for the state of Victoria are described. An examination of health policy documents which consider breast-feeding reveals that it has been conceptualized almost exclusively as a nutritional issue and incorporated into initiatives connected with dietary guidelines developed to prevent diet-related diseases. This has occurred despite the World He…
