Healthcare workers’ perspectives on trauma and mental health access for Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar
Background: In August 2017, the Rohingya population of northern Rakhine State in Myanmar fled to Bangladesh following "clearance operations" by the Myanmar security forces that were characterized by widespread and systematic violence, constituting severe human rights violations. The "clearance operations" were preceded by years of consistent denial of the human rights of the Rohingya people in Myanmar. This study examines the impact of these huma…

Nurses and midwives are essential to a holistic approach to AMR stewardship (AMS) and IPC within LMICs. Objective: (1) Adapt AMS and IPC training programs and practice guidelines for community- and hospital-based nurses and midwives in Nepal; (2) pilot and conduct training outcome and process evaluations. Design: A one-day train…
Feasibility of implementation of the zero suicide model in community-based organizations serving Afghan refugees resettled in Michigan
While the need for behavioral health services for refugee communities is recognized, challenges remain in the implementation of accessible, acceptable, and adaptable programs. Within Michigan, CBOs have developed strong relationships with refugees and asylum seekers resettled into the state. The current project was designed to build on these existing infrastructures within CBOs and determine the feasibility of integrating an evidence-based suicid…
Post-implementation Review of the Himalaya Home Care Project for Home Isolated Covid-19 Patients in Nepal
Background: The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in a pandemic that has significantly impacted healthcare systems at a global level. Health care facilities in Nepal, as in other low- and middle-income countries, have limited resources for the treatment and management of COVID-19 patients. Only critical cases are admitted to the hospital resulting in most patients in home isolation. Methods: Himalaya Home Care (HHC) wa…
Antibiotic Knowledge, Beliefs, and Behaviors
Antibiotic use and misuse continue to be a worldwide concern with the increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance, lack of new antibiotics in the pipeline, and rising health care costs. Despite studies that attempt to distinguish between factors associated with antibiotic use and misuse (e.g., knowledge and beliefs and provider-patient communication), few studies have tested comparative hypotheses related to antibiotic use behavior. This study 1)…
“Most of the cases are very similar.”
Healthcare workers corroborated previous reports that the Rohingya experienced CRSV at the hands of the Myanmar military and security forces. Survivors often revealed their experiences of sexual violence while seeking care for a variety of physical and psychological conditions. Stigma, cultural pressure, and trauma created barriers to disclosing experiences of sexual violence and likely resulted in an underreporting of the prevalence of sexual vi…

Perceived Stress and Avoidant Coping Moderate Disordered Gambling Among Emerging Adults in Vietnam
Gambling research conducted in Asia has been limited, despite a continued growth of the gambling industry within the region. Outside Asia, research suggests emerging adults have high rates of gambling behavior and experience serious consequences. The current study examines gambling behavior within an emerging adult (ages 16-24) population in Vietnam. The study evaluates gambling and tests a moderation model of stress and coping in relation to gam…
Social Stigma, Social Capital Reconstruction, and Rural Migrants in Urban China
In this study, we examine migrant stigma and its effect on social capital reconstruction among rural migrants who possess legal rural residence but live and work in urban China. After a review of the concepts of stigma and social capital, we report data collected through in-depth interviews with 40 rural migrant workers and 38 urban residents recruited from Beijing, China. Findings from this study indicate that social stigma against rural migrant…
Applied Anthropology, Vaccine Trials and Feasibility Studies
While a significant number of studies have been undertaken to increase knowledge regarding social, cultural, and economic factors associated with utilization of vaccines, fewer studies have examined participation in vaccine trials and feasibility studies. The experimental nature of trials adds a layer to the already complex contexts of public health vaccination programs. For over ten years, we have been involved in the development and implementat…

A randomly selected cross-sectional survey was conducted with 880 youth (16 to 24 years) in Nha Trang City to assess relationships between alcohol consumption and sexual behaviors. A timeline followback method was employed. Chi-square, generalized logit modeling and logistic regression analyses were performed. Of the sample, 78.2% male and 56.1% female respondents ever consumed alcohol. Males reporting sexual behaviors (vaginal, anal, oral sex) h…
Psychosocial consequences for children experiencing parental loss due to HIV/Aids in central China
Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 47 children (ages 8-17 years) experiencing the loss of one or both parents due to HIV/AIDS in two rural counties of central China. Findings in this study reveal that the families of the children orphaned by AIDS had experienced financial burdens because of treatment costs for sick parents and loss of labor in the household. The majority of the participants reported some level of stigmatization be…
Geographic analysis of vaccine uptake in a cluster-randomized controlled trial in Hue, Vietnam
Randomized Trial of a Parent Intervention
BACKGROUND: Although numerous interventions have been demonstrated to reduce targeted adolescent risk behaviors for brief periods, sustained behavior changes covering multiple risk behaviors have been elusive. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a parental monitoring intervention (Informed Parents and Children Together [ImPACT]) with and without boosters can further reduce adolescent truancy, substance abuse, and sexual risk behaviors and can alter r…
Perceptions and Attitudes Regarding Sex and Condom Use Among Chinese College Students
Coping With Youth Violence
Parents used a variety of coping strategies and diverse resources such as personal skills, family strengths, and community agencies in an attempt to decrease youth exposure and involvement in violence
Urban African American Adolescents' Perceptions of Community Violence
Further examination of how appraisal and coping efforts relate to prevention of violence and its negative psychosocial sequelae is needed
Urban African American Adolescents and their Parents
Over the past decade, within cities throughout the United States, the numbers of homicides continue to rise, and increasing numbers of minority youths are victims of this violence. At the same time, in many of these same cities a third or more of minority children under 18 years old are living below the poverty line. In the following paper, we examine the perceptions of violence and poverty as articulated by African American urban adolescents, th…
Social influences on the sexual behavior of youth at risk for HIV exposure
OBJECTIVES. Adolescents are increasingly at risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases, especially in poor urban minority communities. To aid the design of interventions in these communities, this study investigated the role of knowledge, attitudes, perceived parental monitoring, and peer behavior in the onset and progression of sexual behavior in children at risk for exposure to HIV. METHOD…
Perceptions of Sexual Behavior among Urban Early Adolescents
Risk activities for acquisition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remain prevalent among urban adolescents. Early adolescents represent a particularly vulnerable group, exhibiting high rates of unprotected sexual activity. In spite of a growing recognition of the need to examine cultural, environmental, and developmental variables contributing to both risk and protective behaviors, little such research has been described to date. Guided b…
Psychotropic Drugs and Concepts of Compliance in a Rural Mental Health Clinic
The medically defined concept of "compliance" indicates a unidimensional interest: whether patients use physician prescribed treatments for a disease as diagnosed by a physician. This article presents findings from a pilot research project conducted at a rural mental health clinic in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The research was aimed at understanding chronically mentally inpatients' knowledge and uses of prescribed psychotropic …
