Social determinants of health are associated with low uptake of daily HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis and future uptake of long-acting formats
Introduction: The transgender population in the United States continues to experience disproportionately high HIV prevalence, and Black and Latina transgender women, in particular, account for more than half of the population's new diagnoses. Uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the daily oral HIV prevention pill, among Black and Latina transfeminine adults has lagged. This community-engaged, HIV status-neutral study served as an initial in…

The relationship between maternal work patterns and infant feeding practices in Jamaican female headed households
Findings from a one‐year longitudinal study of 109 Jamaican women and their infants are reported. The study was designed to examine the relationship between maternal work patterns and infant feeding practices during the infants’ first year. All women had at least one other preschool child, and identified themselves as having primary responsibility for economic maintenance of their household. The majority of women worked outside the home for incom…
Meeting the changing health needs of women in developing countries
Community health workers
As the US health care system strives to function efficiently, encourage preventive and primary care, improve quality, and overcome nonfinancial barriers to care, the potential exists for community health workers to further these goals. Community health workers can increase access to care and facilitate appropriate use of health resources by providing outreach and cultural linkages between communities and delivery systems; reduce costs by providin…
Women's Time and the Use of Health Services
The premise of this paper is that services and information can only contribute to improving health to the extent that people are aware of them, are able to make use of them, and choose to do so. Many service?related factors, as well as social, economic and cultural aspects of people's lives, can interfere with the use of health services or the implementation of health practices. The specific issue with which this article is concerned, however, is…
Women's nutrition
The extent and consequences of malnutrition among women in developing countries have received inadequate attention. Conservative estimates suggest that, as of the mid 1980s, 500 million women were anaemic, almost 500 million were stunted as a result of childhood protein-energy malnutrition, about 250 million suffered a range of consequences of severe iodine deficiency, and about 2 million were blind due to Vitamin A deficiency. The human welfare …
Women, Work, and Child Welfare in the Third World
Women's time
Time allocation studies show that women in developing countries face severe time constraints. However, such studies give a less clear picture of the time women spend on health and child care in the home and utilization of health services because these are primarily sporadic, not daily, activities. Reporting time spent by women on illness or health care utilization as a daily average masks the true cost of periodically losing half of a day or more…

Childhood malnutrition and schooling in the Terai region of Nepal
Parental education and child health
Health Care for Women in Latin America and the Caribbean
Among the most widely strategies in birth planning has been the designation of a "target population" of women of reproductive age. Maternal and child health programs are designed as if this were a uniform category of women, or a functional category for women themselves. In this paper, Mayra Buvinić, Ph. D. (International Center for Research on Women, Washington, D.C.) and Joanne Leslie, M.S. (School of Hygiene and Public Health, Johns Hopkins Uni…
