Abortion safety in Ghana
Open AccessJalang Conteh, Maureen Lahiff et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
Women in Ghana who seek abortion for reasons not deemed legal are at a significantly higher risk of obtaining less safe and least safe abortions.

Early childhood factors associated with obesity at age 8 in Vietnamese children
Open AccessTuyen D Nguyen, Tuyen Nguyen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021
We found that increased consumption of powdered milk, honey/sugar, packaged sweets, and prepared restaurants/fast foods are associated with childhood ow/ob. In contrast, breastfeeding for 6 months or longer was protective against childhood ow/ob. These findings suggest that public health programs and campaigns aimed to prevent childhood ow/ob in Vietnam should target early feeding practices

Ecosystem management requires cross-jurisdictional problem-solving and, when private lands are involved, cross-boundary cooperation from many individual landowners. Fragmented ownership patterns and variation in ownership values, as well as distrust and transaction costs, can limit cooperation. Results from a landowner survey in California were analyzed using an audience segmentation approach. Landowners were grouped into four clusters according …

Getting off the streets
Open AccessCheryl Zlotnick, Marjorie J Robertson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology1999
Based on a 15-month prospective study, the following variables demonstrated an association with residential stability in a countywide probability sample of 397 homeless adults: female gender, a history of less than 1-year homelessness, absence of a health problem that limited work ability, entitlement-benefit income, and use of subsidized housing. Multivariate analyses show that two forms of public support—entitlement income and subsidized housin…
