Treatment-Seeking Behavior Among Male Civil Servants in Northeastern Malaysia: A Mixed-Methods Study
Background : Men's health in Malaysia is slowly gaining more attention, but minimal research has examined how Malaysian men behave and seek treatment. While few studies have investigated men's treatment-seeking behavior (TSB), those that have been conducted seem to be inconclusive and tend to yield contradictory findings. Objectives: This paper aims to determine the proportion of inappropriate TSB and to explore in-depth treatment-seeking behavio…

Frequent mental distress (FMD) in Irish Travellers: Discrimination and bereavement negatively influence mental health in the All Ireland Traveller Health Study
Travellers are an indigenous minority group in Ireland, with poorer life expectancy and health status than the general population.

We aimed to examine the associations between sociodemographic and lifestyle factors with poor mental health in Irish Travellers. A census survey of all Travellers was undertaken, with 8,492 enumerated families (8…

P1-26 The all Ireland traveller health study of ten thousand families provides a human development index for Irish travellers
Introduction Irish Travellers, a nomadic minority group in Ireland, experience multi-faceted social deprivation. The All Ireland Traveller Health Study (AITHS) 2007–2011 of an estimated 10 000 families in both Irish jurisdictions shows little improvement in most measured indicators since the last systematic assessment in 1987. The Human Development Index (HDI), measures long term basic dimensions including life expectancy, access to knowledge and…
Traveller infant mortality is persistently higher than the general population in the All Ireland Traveller Birth Cohort study
Introduction Irish Travellers are a nomadic minority group on the island of Ireland (IOI). The All Ireland Traveller Health Study (2010) showed inequalities in socioeconomic and health indicators. The infant mortality rate (IMR) in 1987 was 18.1 (95% CI 10.9 to 25.3) per 1000 births, one of the highest in Europe. The aim of this study was to calculate the IMR, neonatal mortality rate (NMR) and postneonatal mortality rate (PNMR) for Ireland Travel…
Socio-demographic, health status, psycho-social and lifestyle predictors of self-rated health in the all Ireland Traveller Health Study
Background Irish Travellers have a lower life expectancy than the general Population. Objective health-status indices are consistently poorer in Traveller and Gypsy populations than in other comparably deprived social groups. Self-rated Health (SRH) is established as a valid indicator of objective health status. Methods As part of an all-Ireland census of 10 618 Traveller families both North and South (response rate 80% overall) employing a novel…

P45 Regional comparison of socioeconomic and environmental profiles of families with pregnant women in the All Ireland Traveller Health Study
Objective Travellers have been documented as a distinct group in Irish society for centuries. They experience significant socio-economic and health disadvantage particularly pertinent to pregnancy and early childhood development. This analysis contrasts the socio-economic and environmental profiles of “families with a resident pregnant woman” (FRPW) to other Traveller families and according to two distinct geopolitical regions. Setting Census sur…
The all Ireland traveller birth cohort study: Overcoming recruitment challenges to estimate birth parameters
Objective Irish Travellers are a significant minority group characterised by a nomadic lifestyle, specific culture, and significant socio-economic and health disadvantage. When last documented in 1986, their fertility rate was one of the highest in Europe and infant mortality was almost 3 times the Irish average. The purpose of this study was to investigate prospectively the health status, health utilisation and health care needs of Traveller inf…
