Conservationists' perspectives on poverty
Biodiversity conservation interventions have long confronted challenges of human poverty. The ethical foundations of international conservation, including conservation's relationship with poverty, are currently being interrogated in animated debates about the future of conservation. However, while some commentary exists, empirical analysis of conservation practitioner perspectives on poverty, and their ethical justification, has been lacking thus…
“She is my teacher and if it was not for her I would be dead”
Community health workers (CHWs) are important resources in health systems affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. International guidelines on task-shifting recommend that CHWs can provide diverse HIV services, ranging from HIV prevention to counselling patients for lifelong antiretroviral therapy. There is, however, little evidence on the experiences with CHW delivery of these services in Africa. This qualitative study included 102 interviews that exp…

School Accountability and Youth Obesity
This paper explores the effect of accountability laws under No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) on obesity rates among school-aged children in the United States. Our results show that pressures due to school closures for poor performance, rewards for good performance, and assistance to schools that lag behind lead to lower levels of vigorous physical activity. This effect is significant for high school children only. We find no significant impact of …

A systematic review of task- shifting for HIV treatment and care in Africa
An integrated approach of community health worker support for HIV/Aids and TB care in Angónia district, Mozambique
BACKGROUND: The need to scale up treatment for HIV/AIDS has led to a revival in community health workers to help alleviate the health human resource crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. Community health workers have been employed in Mozambique since the 1970s, performing disparate and fragmented activities, with mixed results. METHODS: A participant-observer description of the evolution of community health worker support to the health services in Angóni…
Scaling up access to antiretroviral drugs in a middle-income country
This article describes the distribution and management of drugs and supplies in scaling up access to public sector antiretroviral treatment (ART) in a middle-income country. More specifically, a case study of the Free State Province of South Africa is presented focusing on: the mobilisation and training of pharmaceutical staff for ART, processes related to the ordering, distribution and storage of medicines, continuity of ART supplies and the imp…
Stigma, identity and resistance among people living with HIV in South Africa
AIDS-related stigma can cause delays in testing, poor treatment adherence, and greater numbers of new infections. Existing studies from low- and middle-income countries focus on the negative experiences of stigma, and few document resistance strategies. In this article we document the diverse journeys of people living with HIV in South Africa, through ill health, testing, disclosure, and treatment, and their responses to stigma. The research ques…
Resources and infrastructure for the delivery of antiretroviral therapy at primary health care facilities in the Free State Province, South Africa
There are concerns as to whether South Africa's public health system has sufficient resources, human and otherwise, to ensure universal access to antiretroviral treatment (ART). We report on public sector implementation of the Comprehensive Care Management and Treatment (CCMT) programme in the Free State Province, South Africa, in particular whether the primary health care (PHC) infrastructure was able to mobilise the necessary inputs to effectiv…
Paying Their Way? Do Nonprofit Hospitals Justify Their Favorable Tax Treatment
This study addresses the effect of hospital ownership on the delivery of services to medically indigent patients and on their communities, using two alternative definitions of community benefits. Using data from hospitals in California, the study finds that in similar markets, the amount of community benefits provided by a tax-exempt private hospital is equivalent in value to that provided by an investor-owned hospital. These results are sensitiv…
Trust and health worker performance
The performance of different models of primary care provision in Southern Africa
On the fault-line
In a context where the state has had the power to implement major policy initiatives such as the macro-economic Growth Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy why has conflict around AIDS policy persisted as high politics? What explains the apparent inability of the state to exercise effective leadership and deal decisively with AIDS the particular strategies it has adopted in relation to AIDS activists and scientists and the ability of the…
