Health research in a turbulent region
The Reproductive Health Working Group (RHWG) was established in 1988 in Cairo to advance research in the Arab countries and Turkey on the health of women, broadly defined. The paper considers the ways in which the group contributed to global health conversations through three examples of interdisciplinary research that, in privileging local contexts, modified or even challenged prevailing approaches to health and often raised entirely new issues …
Beyond Reproductive Health
In this article, we aim to contextualize gynecological problems within a broader health and social context, expanding the lens beyond reproductive health.

Researchers collected information on the cause of death of the children of each ever-married woman, as part of a birth history interview. Researchers th…

Population Processes in Rural Yemen
North Yemen's 5.5 million people have a life expectancy of 42 years, and a crude birth rate of 46/1000 with a natural increase of 2.4%/year. A study was conducted from 1977-78 in 3 different ecological and cultural zones to determine the effects of 3 fertility variables: 1) temporary emigration; 2) breastfeeding; and 3) contraception usage. Spousal separation due to Yemeni males working outside the country may not be as important a factor to fami…
