Welfare state regimes, health and health inequalities in adolescence
Comparative research on health and health inequalities has recently started to establish a welfare regime perspective. The objective of this study was to determine whether different welfare regimes are associated with health and health inequalities among adolescents. Data were collected from the 'Health Behaviour in School-aged Children' study in 2006, including 11- to 15-year-old students from 32 countries (N = 141,091). Prevalence rates and mul…

The cases they discuss illustrate the tension between issues of human rights and personal capacities that the disability movement must deal with, but whi…
A Seat at the Table
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been used to strike down fifty-eight statutes that permitted the exclusion of persons with disabilities, women, ethnic minorities, or gays and lesbians. While some conservatives see this trend as "rulings for the many by the few," those representing excluded groups view their successful court challenges against unjust laws as a long-awaited coming of age, allowing them to finally obtain a seat at th…
Supporting International Health Policy

Scientists often do not facilitate well the translation of research findings into policy while policy makers find it bard to identify research questions that are relevant to it. This paper outlines the context of health research in developing countries, the research needs and the obstacles to policy making in this international environment. The immediate challenge for…

Evaluating Participation in Community Programs
This article introduces the paradigm of empowerment as being more appropriate for evaluation of community participation than the paradigm of efficiency. A variety of critical theories have been proposed as an expression of the empowerment paradigm. These theories, when applied to community evaluation problems, assume that there is conflict and unequal distribution of power between community groups. This unequal power is reflected in groups’ diffe…
