Souls shaped by our land – how rural communities have adapted infant mental health services to meet the needs of their population
There is an acceptance of the need for specialist infant mental health services in Scotland, with the Scottish Government pledging to support health boards in delivering expert care. To date, there is no available research on rural infant mental health services in Scotland. The authors of this paper conducted a systematic review of published literature about infant mental health services in rural communities, the results of which may be applicabl…
International Canadian Studies
More than 10 years after the Government of Canada ended its support for the “Understanding Canada” program, international Canadianists have continued to contribute to teaching and conducting research on Canada. During this time, Canadian society has faced significant challenges, including the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and academic debates have questioned the relevance of Canadian Studies as a field of…
Novel psychoactive substances in Australian emergency departments
Drug intelligence data generated in an acute harm setting such as the ED can provide early warning of drugs of concern circulating in the community, including NPS. This facilitates rapid community responses to reduce harm and inform subsequent public health responses
Evaluating the programme and behavior change theories of a community alcohol education intervention in rural Sri Lanka
Risky alcohol use is a major public health problem globally and in Sri Lanka. While a reduction in alcohol consumption can result in physical, mental, and social benefits, behaviour change is difficult to achieve. Effective, context-adapted interventions are required to minimise alcohol-related harm at a community level. THEATRE is a complex, community-based intervention evaluating whether a promising Sri Lankan pilot study that utilised arts-bas…

Management of alcohol and other drug issues in Special Health Accommodation during the Covid ‐19 Delta variant outbreak in Sydney, 2021
In response to community transmission of COVID-19 Delta Variant in New South Wales (NSW), patients were admitted to Special Health Accommodation (SHA) with often complex psychosocial and medical needs including addiction. SHA functioned as a subacute hospital in repurposed apartment blocks and provided integrated health care to people with COVID-19 or close contacts, if otherwise unable to isolate [1]. We reviewed the outcomes of patients who rec…
The Dislocation of Identity
This chapter explores the construction, use and contestation of community by the participants in a club for the elderly residents of a former coalmining town. Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s coal-mining communities came to constitute a major obsession of scholars concerned with the study of the British working class. This was perhaps unsurprising. The history of British coal-mining is a history of industrial action. The vision of mining peo…
Paediatric poisoning in rural Sri Lanka
In rural districts of Sri Lanka, acute paediatric poisoning cases were less frequent and less severe compared to adult poisoning cases (426-446 per 100,000 population). The incidence of poisoning was significantly higher among young children with compared to old children. In this study, deliberate self-poisoning among older children was more frequently seen than in other comparable countries. Because most of the admissions are directed to and man…
Policymaking ‘under the radar’
BACKGROUND: Suicide in Sri Lanka is a major public health problem and in 1995 the country had one of the highest rates of suicide worldwide. Since then reductions in overall suicide rates have been largely attributed to efforts to regulate a range of pesticides. The evolution, context, events and implementation of the key policy decisions around regulation are examined. METHODS: This study was undertaken as part of a broader analysis of policy in…
Social Dynamics in Rural Sri Lankan Hospitals
Different hospitals produce different cultures-products of relationships between people of different staff categories and people from external community groups. These relationships demonstrate unique social dynamics in rural peripheral hospitals that form a major part of the health care system in Sri Lanka and other developing countries. Understanding the existing social dynamics might be useful when trying to implement new treatment guidelines t…
Changing epidemiologic patterns of deliberate self poisoning in a rural district of Sri Lanka
Acute poisoning remains a major public health problem in rural Sri Lanka and pesticide poisoning remains the most important poison. However, cases of medicinal drug poisoning have recently dramatically increased. Youth in these rural communities remain very vulnerable to acute poisoning and the problem is so common that school-based primary prevention programs may be worthwhile.Lalith Senarathna, Shaluka F Jayamanna, Patrick J Kelly, Nick A Buckl…
A community-based cluster randomised trial of safe storage to reduce pesticide self-poisoning in rural Sri Lanka
This paper describes a large effectiveness study of a community intervention to reduce the burden of intentional poisoning in rural Sri Lanka. The study builds on a strong partnership between provincial health services, local and international researchers, and local communities. We discuss issues in relation to randomisation and contamination, engaging control villages, the intervention, and strategies to improve adherence
Pattern of pesticide storage before pesticide self-poisoning in rural Sri Lanka
Three quarters of people who ingested pesticides in acts of self-harm used products that were available within the home or in close proximity; relatively few patients purchased the pesticide for the act. The study highlights the importance of reducing the accessibility of toxic pesticides in the domestic environment
Self-poisoning in rural Sri Lanka
Considerable small-area variation in incidence rates of intentional self-poisoning was found. The noteworthy concentration of cases in certain areas and the inverse association with socioeconomic deprivation merit attention and should be investigated using individual-level exposure data
Personal and professional challenges in the management of deliberate self-poisoning patients in rural Sri Lanka
Addressing professional isolation through educational and trainee programs for doctors and reducing the variance in expectations between professional groups and the community has the potential to improve delivery of care for self-poisoning patients
Community uptake of safe storage boxes to reduce self-poisoning from pesticides in rural Sri Lanka
The farming community appreciated the storage boxes and made storage of pesticides safer, especially for children. It seems that additional, intensive promotion is needed to ensure that pesticide boxes are locked. The introduction of in-house safe storage boxes resulted in a shift of storage into the farmer's home and away from the field and this may increase the domestic risk of impulsive self-poisoning episodes. This increased risk needs attent…
