Fertility intentions and family size among married men in Khartoum, Sudan
Numerous factors contribute to high fertility within a specific context some of which are related to women's fertility practices. What has been less frequently examined, however, is how men's preferences and behaviours contribute to high fertility rates. This is imperative in a country such as Sudan which has reported continuously high fertility rates. This study aimed to analyse the socio-cultural factors affecting husbands' preferences and beha…
Role of Gender Policies and Laws in Enhancing Women’s Participation in the Resolution of Land Conflicts
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy to end women’s exclusion and further gender equality by using general policies and laws. The Government of Kenya has made strides in realising gender equality with the adoption of different general and gender-specific policies and laws. The reality is, however, that gender equality is far from being achieved across the country. With a focus on land conflicts, this article seeks to examine gender policies and law…
Hiv testing and counseling services in Kassala State, Sudan
HIV testing and counseling (HTC) services are essential for all HIV prevention and treatment interventions. Evidence is limited on the role of private healthcare providers in providing HTC services.

A cross-sectional study included 387 private healthcare providers who completed a questionnaire about beliefs …
Perspective on the Prevention of Suicide among School Learners by School Management
Adolescents in South Africa have higher suicide rates than older people. A suicide or unexpected death of a fellow student can result in increased copycat behavior. Previous studies have placed emphasis on the significance of school involvement in the prevention of suicide. The study sought to explore the perspective on the prevention of suicide among school learners by school management. A qualitative phenomenological design was applied. The stu…
Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the children's exposure to domestic violence scale (Cedv) from English to Swahili
A 40 items Swahili scale was developed in a rigorous and systematic procedure. • Semantic, conceptual discrepancies and cultural equivalence were reckoned. • The scale enhanced children’s ability to elicit experiences of exposures to violence. • Swahili CEDV is a reliable scale to assess children’s exposure to violence. • Training to develop, adapt and validate childhood assessment scales is recommended. Most scales developed to assess childhood …
Process Evaluation of a Comprehensive Intervention for the Early Detection and Prevention of Oral Cancer
Process evaluations help to understand and refine health interventions. The "ISAC" intervention targeted the enhancement of early detection and prevention of oral cancer (OC) through tobacco-cessation counseling, patient communications, and ISAC role-modeling. Over six months, throughout ISAC implementation in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia, Linnan and Steckler's process evaluation framework's specified indicators were assessed, by mixed method…
Psychosocial beliefs related to intention to use HIV testing and counselling services among suspected tuberculosis patients in Kassala state, Sudan
The intention to use HTC was a function of psychosocial beliefs. The beliefs investigated varied in their relevance for interventions designed to encourage the use of HTC services. Interventions to promote intention to use HIV testing and counselling services should address the most relevant beliefs (sub-determinants). Further study is needed to establish the relevance of sub-determinants of the intention to use HTC services for interventions dev…
Social inequalities, sexual tourism and HIV in Cartagena, Colombia
Although the convergence of social inequalities has been thoroughly reported in the literature on social studies of HIV vulnerability; distinctive dynamics are occurring in Cartagena, including a clear link between the contemporary globalised sexual tourism industries and a racialised social structure - both having historical roots in the colonial past
Perceptions of Sudanese women of reproductive age toward HIV/Aids and services for Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV
The study reveals that most of the women felt susceptible to HIV infection with perceived high severity; however, this perception has not translated into positive attitudes toward the importance of HIV testing during pregnancy. Because of anticipated stigma, women are not likely to disclose their HIV status. Further research should focus on gaining a more in-depth understanding of the psycho-social determinants and processes underlying the factor…

The impact of an organ donation registration information program for high school students in the Netherlands
Prospective Evaluation of Psychosocial Adaption to Stoma Surgery
Self-efficacy, one's expectations regarding the ability to perform some specific task, was studied prospectively in the adaptation process of stoma patients. One week after surgery, stoma-related self-efficacy was assessed in 59 patients (26 cancer patients and 33 patients with benign diseases) who had undergone intestinal stoma surgery. Twenty-nine items concerning self-efficacy were formulated. Factor analysis with oblique rotation resulted in …
