Beyond depressive symptoms
Background Mental burden is largely conceptualized through mental illness, yet it can manifest beyond diagnostic categories. We contend that social suffering requires separate consideration, as it frames mental burden through intersubjective, collective, and power dynamics, while centering its inextricable link to social and political injustice. Lebanon offers a relevant setting, hosting Syrian refugees amid economic crisis and intermittent armed…
Understanding and optimising helmet-related and other health and social effects of the first North American university campus skatepark
Skateboarding has growing societal uptake, as seen through its inclusion in 2021's Summer Olympics. To promote positive health and social outcomes, skateparks are being developed around the world. A challenge in optimising skateparks' benefits lies in reducing injury risk, particularly head trauma. This study occurred at the University of British Columbia Skatepark (July–September 2019) with the goal of identifying and theoretically contextualisi…
Why It's Different
Migrants' perceptions of belonging are shaped by the social policies with which they are received by the state. In Germany, policies grant refugees different levels of labor market access according to legal status, a hierarchical system also referred to as differential inclusion. This study compares perceptions and experiences of these labor market policies and discourses among refugees with four legal statuses. Refugees with the most precarious …
Legal status and refugees' perceptions of institutional justice
What factors influence refugees' perceptions of justice in bureaucratic institutions? As global migration movements draw increasing attention, migrants' experiences as constituents in destination countries merit further research. Drawing evidence from the 2018 survey of refugees participating in the German Socio‐Economic Panel, this article examines the role of legal status in shaping perceptions of justice at government offices. Our findings hig…

Blended-eLearning Impact on Health Worker Stigma Toward Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Psychoactive Substance Users
This study evaluated factors affecting the completion of blended-eLearning courses for health workers and their effect on stigma. The two courses covered the screening and management of harmful alcohol, tobacco, and other substance consumption in a lower-middle-income country setting. The courses included reading, self-reflection exercises, and skills practice on communication and stigma. The Anti-Stigma Intervention-Stigma Evaluation Survey was …
Determinants of welfare benefit use of immigrant groups - longitudinal evidence from Germany
While recent literature in Germany has compared predictors of welfare use between EU and non-EU immigrants, refugees have yet to be added to the analysis. Using survey data of approximately 4,000 immigrants living in Germany, I examine the determinants of basic unemployment benefits receipt for intra-EU immigrants, refugees, and third country immigrants. In particular, I investigate how education affects the likelihood of welfare use for each imm…
From Excavation to Vitrine
In this article the authors present the preliminary results of the study, conservation, and display of a corpus of Hellenistic terracottas from Niğde Kınık Höyük consisting of bovine figures ranging from small protomes to medium-sized bull statues, and to close-to-life-size hoofs and chests. Images of Greek divinities attached to the bulls’ necks suggest that the corpus was pertinent to a cultic tradition related to the Olympic pantheon. The ongo…
Factors Influencing Lay and Professional Health Workers’ Self-efficacy in Identification and Intervention for Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Substance Use Disorders in Kenya
Substance Use among a Sample of Healthcare Workers in Kenya
This study describes reported substance use among Kenyan healthcare workers (HCWs), as it has implications for HCWs' health, productivity, and their ability and likelihood to intervene on substance use. The Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) was administered to a convenience sample of HCWs (n = 206) in 15 health facilities. Reported lifetime use was 35.8% for alcohol, 23.5% for tobacco, 9.3% for cannabis, 9.3% for s…
To Disclose or Not to Disclose, That is the Question! Antiretroviral Therapy, Access to Resources and Stigma in Southern Africa
This article discusses the increasing evidence of a dilemma facing people living with HIV and AIDS in southern Africa who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Their enrolment in treatment programmes gives them access to resources provided by national and international organisations, but because these resources are insufficient for their households to make ends meet, they also rely on resources available through traditional means, such as social n…

The relation of HIV testing and treatment to identity formation in Zambia
Why would many Zambians be reluctant to access lifesaving antiretroviral treatment? Does the process of accessing an HIV test in Zambia promote an identity that can change individuals' livelihood strategies? What happens to individuals when people access treatment? Voluntary testing and treatment centres and the HIV-prevention programmes that support them have come to embody explicit messages about 'health,' 'progress,' 'civilisation' and 'modern…
The association between Colombian medical students' healthy personal habits and a positive attitude toward preventive counseling
As for U.S. physician and medical students, a positive association was found between the personal health habits of Colombian medical students and their corresponding attitudes toward preventive counseling, independent of gender and medial training-related factors. Our findings, the first relating to this association in medical students in developing regions, also suggest that within the medical school context, interventions focused on promoting h…
Shifting Paradigms and the Politics of Aids in Zambia
This article explores how international discourses on AIDS prevention have been incorporated into national-level programs that promote particular lifestyle and livelihood strategies in Zambia, particularly within the realms of wife inheritance, widowhood, and marriage. In response, Zambian communities have recast these narratives to inform local political economies, identities, and struggles for power. Often community and national-level efforts w…

Aids and the Transformation of Ethnography in Southern Africa
Aids Ethnography
A Participatory Approach for Local Peace Initiatives
Long-term, low-intensity conflicts are pervasive in many pastoralist areas in the Horn of Africa. As international development agencies have sought strategies for improving livelihoods in these areas, their attention has been increasingly drawn to the need for creating durable solutions to these conflicts. In December of 1999, the Border Harmonization Meeting, held in Lodwar, Kenya, brought together local community elders, government officials, a…

Socioeconomic status and health
BACKGROUND. Socioeconomic status (SES) is usually measured by determining education, income, occupation, or a composite of these dimensions. Although education is the most commonly used measure of SES in epidemiological studies, no investigators in the United States have conducted an empirical analysis quantifying the relative impact of each separate dimension of SES on risk factors for disease. METHODS. Using data on 2380 participants from the S…
Relative risk in the news media
OBJECTIVES: This study quantifies the representativeness with which the print news media depict mortality. METHODS: The proportion of mortality-related copy in samples of national print media was compared with the proportion of actual deaths attributable to the leading causes of US mortality over a 1-year period. RESULTS: For every tested cause of death, a significant disproportion was found between amount of text devoted to the cause and the act…

Cardiovascular disease risk factors
This study surveyed 4158 adults residing in two control cities of the Stanford Five-City Project. Analysis of five cross-sectional surveys (conducted in 1979 through 1990) demonstrated improvements in respondents' general cardiovascular disease risk factor knowledge and behaviors. Cholesterol-related knowledge and behavior showed particularly marked improvements
