The association between symptoms of mental disorders and health risk behaviours in Vietnamese HIV positive outpatients
While the prevalence of SOMD among HIV positive outpatients was high, most SOMD were not associated with increased HRB. Only illicit drug use was predicted by symptoms of SUD.

Implementing curriculum evaluation
This case study presents a longitudinal, evidence‐based approach to health science curriculum reform and evaluation. Curriculum in higher education must meet the needs of diverse stakeholders and must respond to dynamic local, national and international contexts, and this creates challenges for evaluation. The long lead time prior to the introduction of new or revised university curriculum (at least two years), the length of degree programmes (th…
Health Science Curriculum Reform
This paper presents a framework for evaluating curriculum changes undertaken in the University of Sydney's Faculty of Health Sciences. In a climate of shrinking resources for higher education in Australia and an international move away from 'mono-disciplinary' educational practices, the Faculty of Health Sciences has undertaken curriculum reform to decrease the staff time associated with preparing and delivering many versions of similar units of …

While it is generally agreed that graduates should acquire generic skills common across disciplines and fields of study, it has also been recognised that generic attributes must be considered in the context of individual disciplines. Sixty‐seven workplace supervisors of new …
