Efficacy and Safety of the mRNA-1273 Sars-CoV-2 Vaccine
BACKGROUND: Vaccines are needed to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and to protect persons who are at high risk for complications. The mRNA-1273 vaccine is a lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA-based vaccine that encodes the prefusion stabilized full-length spike protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes Covid-19. METHODS: This phase 3 randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-contr…

Handbook of Religion and Health, Second Edition
Professional’s Calling
Mental health professionals enter the service with a desire to work to provide better outcomes for service users and carers. However sometimes the system gets in the way and produces unintended consequences. Recently service users have requested that the spiritual dimension of their lives be given greater attention, and this fits strongly with the recovery approach and its accent on service users being able to take control of their own lives. Res…
Faith in one city
Purpose There are intense current debates about the place of belief systems in a secular society, and also whether the mechanistic approach to mental health care is sufficient for human beings. This paper aims to describe the Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation NHS Trust (BSMHFT) spirituality and mental health research programme within that context. Design/methodology/approach The research studies are placed within a discourse of cur…
Seeking inspiration
Not so long ago Western society assumed that its citizens would get progressively richer and more leisured, and that inequality would not matter. There was also an assumption that health and social care services would simultaneously become more technically proficient and more concerned with a person's dignity and their individual needs. This paper considers this theme, looks at the current state of health and social care and the need to bring a s…
Gods and gurdwaras
With Great Britain being seen as a largely secular society, it would be easy to discount the influence of religious belief and faith communities in society in general, and mental health in particular. But most rural communities still have a parish church, which provides a focal point for a range of activities, not necessarily religious; and in the big cities, especially where there are a range of ethnic groups and cultures, places of worship prov…
Bringing the spirit and values back into public services
Western societies have been shaken by the economic crisis brought on by ‘casino capitalism’ and the recklessness of the financial institutions. Once esteemed financial institutions, like Lehman Brothers, are now shown to have used dubious accounting methods to cover losses; and accountants, regulators and governments have come under scrutiny. In public life, the scandal of MPs' expenses at Westminster and the blockages in legislative assemblies i…
Concepts of Death
Although death is the inevitable end of life, historical, sociological, and psychological analyses converge to demonstrate that human beings struggle to integrate it as a personal reality. In this article we attempt to bring to bear recent theoretical work on the linkage between our conceptions of death, and our difficulty adjusting to it as a species, by first surveying historical and philosophic perspectives on the meaning of death, and then sa…
Negotiating Death in Contemporary Health and Social Care - By Margaret Holloway
Flickering Candles of Hope
People experiencing mental distress often feel let down by faith communities, and find the world of conflicting world views puzzling and unhelpful as they struggle to find meaning, purpose, and acceptance in their own painful journey. This epilogue arises from a recent conference held at Staffordshire University (UK) where representatives from the nine faiths recognized by the Department of Health (UK), together with humanist and service user/sur…
Nobody Noticed
Modern commentators are demonstrating how the workplace is changing radically, with a long-hours culture and increasing uncertainty over job security and prospects. With people spending more time in work, they need to find the sort of meaning there that many people looked for in home and leisure. Many people's private lives are sacrificed to the demands of employers and, therefore, when instances of crisis and loss arise, these can be more devast…

BACKGROUND: Botswana has the highest rate of HIV infection in the world, estimated at 36% among the population aged 15-49 years. To improve antiretroviral (ARV) treatment delivery, we conducted a cross-sectional study of the social, cultural, and structural determinants of treatment adherence. METHODS: We used both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, including questionnaires and interviews with patients receiving ARV treatment an…
