Public health interventions to improve the mental health and mental health literacy of young people in resource-limited settings
Background: Young people aged 15-29 experience a substantial mental health burden, with major depressive disorder (MDD) and schizophrenia accounting for as much as half of this burden. Young people living in low- or middle-income countries (LMICs) face challenges to improving their mental health. A substantial treatment gap exists, driven by resource constraints and workforce shortages. Addressing mental health and mental health literacy through …
Anticipating Birth in Early Modern England
Scholars have described the days leading up to birth in the early modern period as a time when women purchased linens, prepared bedchambers, and called upon the services of a midwife and their gossips. However, manuscript recipe collections reveal that preparations in anticipation of labour went beyond such measures and incorporated the consumption of specific medicines. This article studies remedies that were designed to be taken six weeks befor…
Privileging the spirit, voices, and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in dementia care
Data show that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiencing dementia receive services at mainstream health organizations and from non-Indigenous health care providers. It is imperative that non-Indigenous health care providers are educated about culturally respectful and safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with dementia. The purpose of this research was to partner with Aboriginal Elders to co-design and …
Justice for Country
Protected areas (PAs) have been subject to sustained critique in the social, political, and geographical sciences for human conflicts and injustices arising from their creation and management. Fortress-style PAs have enabled and perpetuated land theft from Indigenous peoples and disrupted Indigenous relationships to their lands, territories, and resources in the name of conservation, even while encouraging the commodification of these places by f…

Prevalence and impact of combined vision and hearing (dual sensory) impairment
Hearing and vision impairments are common globally. They are often considered separately in research, and in planning and delivering services. However, they can occur concurrently, termed dual sensory impairment (DSI). The prevalence and impact of hearing and vision impairment have been well-examined, but there has been much less consideration of DSI. The aim of this scoping review was to determine the nature and extent of the evidence on prevale…
Do Safety Expectations Affect the Location Strategies of Large Service Delivery Ingos
Large service-delivery international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) help shape the lives of millions worldwide, contributing significantly to the betterment of global health, development, education, and more. However, these organizations operate on limited financial resources and must deliver services on-the-ground, requiring them to make calculated decisions about their location strategies for operations. Although these INGOs should aim t…
US college women’s understandings of definitions of intimate partner violence
Objective: Past research suggests students have differing definitions of sexual assault, violence and intimate partner violence (IPV). To adequately develop violence prevention efforts, it is important to examine how college students understand these terms and associated behaviours. The purpose of this study was to identify which behaviours are categorised as IPV by college women and whether there are any ‘grey areas’ when it comes to IPV. Design…

Indigenous Women's Voices
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. When Linda Tuhiwai Smith's Decolonizing Methodologies was first published, it ignited a passion for research change that respected Indigenous peoples and knowledges, and campaigned to reclaim Indigenous ways of knowing and being. At a time when Indigenous voices were profoundly marginalised, the book advocated for …
The Lancet Global Health Commission on Global Eye Health
There is extensive evidence showing that improving eye health contributes directly and indirectly to achieving many Sustainable Development Goals, including reducing poverty and improving work productivity, general and mental health, and education and equity. Improving eye health is a practical and cost-effective way of unlocking human potential. Eye health needs to be reframed as an enabling, cross-cutting issue within the sustainable developmen…
Interventions to promote access to eyecare for non-dominant ethnic groups in high-income countries
PURPOSE: People who are distinct from the dominant ethnic group within a country can experience a variety of barriers to accessing eyecare services. We conducted a scoping review to map published interventions aimed at improving access to eyecare for non-Indigenous, non-dominant ethnic groups residing in high-income countries. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and Global Health for studies that described an intervention to promote access to ey…
Eye care delivery models to improve access to eye care for Indigenous peoples in high-income countries
PURPOSE: Globally, there are ~370 million Indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples typically experience worse health compared with non-Indigenous people, including higher rates of avoidable vision impairment. Much of this gap in eye health can be attributed to barriers that impede access to eye care services. We conducted a scoping review to identify and summarise service delivery models designed to improve access to eye care for Indigenous peoples…
Cross-dressing, Male Intimacy and the Violence of Transgression in Third Reich Photography
This co-authored article draws upon two distinct genres of photography, police mugshots and amateur soldier snapshots, to illustrate the value of queer visual culture methodologies for how to think about the visualization of violence, masculinity and desire. Building upon two vastly different depictions of male to female cross-dressing, one produced between 1934 and 1938 by the Berlin police and Gestapo of a transvestite and the other produced be…

Giving voice to the sacred black female body in takayna country
In this chapter, I give a critical view of the representation of the sacred black female body in takayna country, lutuwitra (Tasmania), Australia. I use a discourse analysis from two sources to investigate methodologies that elucidate values relating to the black female body in the landscape. Whilst both sources concur that takayna country is female country, the language and methods used to characterize her sacredness are different. The applicati…
HCV screening in a cohort of HIV infected and uninfected homeless and marginally housed women in San Francisco, California
Results fill an important gap in information regarding HCV among homeless women, and confirm the need for enhanced screening in this population where a high proportion are baby-boomers and have a history of drug use and psychiatric problems. Due to their age and risk profile, there is a high probability that women in this study have been infected for decades, and thus have significant liver disease. The association with mental illness and HCV sug…

Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France
Introduction
This essay examines ways in which historians might learn from queer approaches to the past. Drawing inspiration from queer theory and ideas long circulating in cultural, literary and medieval studies, it argues that there is much to be gained when we adopt a more self-reflexive, genealogical, context-specific analysis of lives lived. A queered history interrogates whether our guiding questions and assumptions might actually foreclose possible lin…
Architecture, Politics and Identity in Divided Berlin
Emily Pugh has written a comprehensive study of the role of architecture as a system of representing Cold War tensions in divided Berlin, from the end of the Second World War to the fall of the Wall. She argues that the pains of reconstruction and division, political antipathy and a grindingly slow economy on either side of the city’s boundary may best be viewed through the actions of average citizens, city planners and politicians in coping with…
The One-Sex Body on Trial
Helen King's One-Sex Body on Trial is a response to Thomas Laqueur's 1995 monograph Making Sex, which argued that before the eighteenth century, men and women's bodies were understood as analogous (a one-sex model), but after 1700 were understood to be fundamentally different (a two-sex model). Laqueur's book ranged from the Greeks to Freud. King's expertise in both the period in which the one-sex idea supposedly originated and in the era in whic…
The Market Forces? The Effect of Local Management of Schools on Special Educational Needs Provision
This paper explores the approaches taken by local education authorities (LEAs) to the funding and organisation of provision for special educational needs (SEN) under local management of schools (LMS). LMS is seen as playing a central role in the new right's attempts to introduce market ‘realities’ into public sector organisations. It is argued that a more market‐oriented discourse, with its concomitant emphasis on individualism, is taking hold in…

Professionals Under Pressure
This paper explores the role of professionals employed in the special education section of local education authorities (LEAs). Its examination of the political, cultural and financial contexts in which decision‐making occurs is illustrated by data collected in interviews with LEA personnel in five local authorities. The first section of the paper examines the nature and effects of professional control in special education. Depoliticisation, indiv…
They are called Imperfect men’
Scholars of early modern gender and medicine have tended to focus on female infertility. Discussions that have included male reproductive failure have considered sexual ability and impotence, rather than infertility. Nonetheless, fathering children was important to male social standing and the fulfilment of their patriarchal roles. This article will demonstrate that male infertility was not absent from medical literature, but appeared in a variet…
Collaboration
This paper traces the trajectory of New Labour education policy since the formation of the first New Labour government in 1997. During that time the policy discourse has moved from a position of individualized school improvement through competition, to one where there is an emphasis on ‘partnership’ and ‘collaboration’ as key mechanisms for improvement. We note, however, that ‘specialism’, ‘diversity’ and ‘choice’ are still key components of poli…

It is caused of the womans part or of the mans part
Philip Barrough wrote in 1590 that barrenness 'is caused of the womans part or of the mans part'. By the eighteenth century, however, barrenness was perceived as a female disorder distinguished from male impotence. Few historians have addressed the uncertainty surrounding early modern definitions of infertility, choosing instead to adopt set terms that fit comfortably with modern ideas. This article will highlight the difficulties surrounding the…
The Development and Implementation of Special Education Policy
The passage of legislation is just one point in the process of negotiation and bargaining which formed the will to legislate and continues throughout the period of policy implementation. Using the 1981 Education Act as a case study, this paper develops a conceptual framework which sees education legislation as a significant reference point, a statement of government intent, but implementation as a political process involving negotiation, bargaini…

Clusters
This article reports the findings and discusses the implications of a research project on school clusters, a system of inter‐school collaboration to meet special educational needs (SEN) in ordinary schools. The project was in two stages. The first stage involved detailed qualitative case studies of four different kinds of cluster arrangement. These were analysed in terms of antecedents, processes and outcomes based on documentation and interviews…

Systematic Reviews of Educational Research
There has been a recent increase in interest in the research review as a method of presenting cumulative data about the effects of educational policies and practices. This is part of a wider movement in ‘evidence‐informed policy‐making’ espoused by the current Government. In part, the interest as been sparked by the perceived success of the Cochrane Collaboration in medicine, which has set up a framework for conducting and verifying systematic re…

Advice about diet and smoking for people with or at risk of age-related macular degeneration
Within a large sample of eye care professionals, consisting predominantly of optometrists, who responded to a cross-sectional survey, there was active engagement in providing nutritional advice to patients with or at risk of AMD. However, the results demonstrate a need to raise awareness of the evidence underpinning the use of nutritional supplements together with an increased involvement in targeted smoking cessation

Female barrenness, bodily access and aromatic treatments in seventeenth-century England
Across the seventeenth century medical self-help manuals noted that aromatic substances were a suitable remedy for female barrenness. It has often been suggested that in the early modern period physicians did not touch their patients but instead relied upon patient narrative to diagnose and treat the sick body. This article problematizes this issue by investigating the multi-sensory approach to treating infertility, a disorder invested with conce…

Before Midnight She Had Miscarried
Reproduction and childbirth in the early modern era have sometimes been represented as a uniquely feminine experience. Similarly, studies of domestic medicine have in the past overlooked the role that men played in domestic health care practices. This article builds on recent work that resituates men within both of these discourses by considering the ways in which men understood, discussed, and responded to the threat and occurrence of miscarriag…
