Ethnic Minority Groups’ Experiences of Suicide Bereavement
It is estimated that between 36,000 and 360,000 people are affected by suicide every year in the UK, and a proportion may develop depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, or engage in high-risk behaviours. Recent systematic analyses have revealed a clear gap in research on suicide bereavement in minority ethnic groups. This study aimed to understand the experiences and support needs of individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds bereaved b…
Treatment Barriers and Support for Male Ex-Armed Forces Personnel in Prison
Ex-armed forces personnel represent a potentially vulnerable group within the prison population. To provide support to this group, we need to understand their needs and help-seeking behavior. A focus group with professionals and semi-structured interviews with service users explored perspectives of the treatment barriers faced by this group and their support needs. Data were analyzed using constant comparison methods, and four primary themes were…
Technology Can Improve Public Health Education
Addressing public health challenges in the 21st century requires a workforce familiar with current technology. Goldman et al.1 report on the use of one such technology, the blog, to enhance learning through ongoing discussions. Delivering course content in such forums does more than foster discussion; it capitalizes on student familiarity with social venues such as Facebook and encourages the transfer of useful technology to the public health sec…
Polio eradication initiative in Africa
Despite concerns regarding the targeted nature of AFP surveillance, it is partially integrated into existing surveillance and response systems in multiple African countries. Resources provided for polio eradication should be used to improve surveillance for and response to other priority infectious diseases in Africa
Evaluation of Long‐term Community Recovery from Hurricane Andrew
Two three‐stage cluster surveys were conducted in South Dade County, Florida, 14 months apart, to assess recovery following Hurricane Andrew. Response rates were 75 per cent and 84 per cent. Sources of assistance used in recovery from Hurricane Andrew differed according to race, per capita income, ethnicity, and education. Reports of improved living situation post‐hurricane were not associated with receiving relief assistance, but reports of a wo…
Long-Term Effects of Hurricane Andrew
Two population-based surveys of South Dade County, Florida, were conducted after Hurricane Andrew to compare hurricane-related symptoms of mental distress and describe the impact of mental health outreach teams. Households were selected by three-stage cluster sampling and findings from the two surveys, 13 months apart, were compared. Response rates were 75 per cent and 84 per cent. The prevalence of symptoms of mental distress decreased over time…
Assessing and planning home-based care for persons with Aids
The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to gather momentum in many developing countries, increasing the already heavy burden on health care facilities. As a result, donors, implementing partners and communities are beginning to create home-based care programmes to provide care for persons with HIV/AIDS. This paper recommends reorienting this home care provision as a service founded in, and coming from, the community rather than the health system. A metho…
