Introduction
In response to the increasing need for research ethics expertise in low and middle income countries (LMICs), the NIH's Fogarty International Research Ethics Education and Curriculum Development Program has provided grants for the development of training programs in international research ethics for LMIC professionals since 2000. This collection of papers draws upon the combined expertise of Fogarty grantees, trainees, and other experts to assess …
Values and moral experience in global health
Economic valuations in global health
This paper deals with three issues concerning economic valuation in global health. First, we argue that the economic value of health delivery in resource-limited settings is not fully captured through the adding up of successive assessments of individual interventions. Second, we suggest that economic valuations can be used to identify social barriers to the success of health technologies in resource-limited settings. Third, we briefly discuss ne…
Addressing the Growing Burden of Trauma and Injury in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Low- and middle-income countries suffer disproportionately from reduced life expectancy and quality of life. Injuries are overlooked as contributors to global inequities in health, yet the long-term disabilities they frequently produce represent a significant burden. The Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health convened a panel of experts in trauma and injury from the United States and low- and middle-income nations to id…
Relative and interacting effects of sex, race, and environment upon body cell mass in healthy adults
Most epidemiologic studies in nutrition have concentrated on body fat and obesity because of associated health risks, while few studies have examined factors that influence body cell mass (BCM). The relative influences of sex, race, environment, and age upon BCM were compared by analyzing the results of bioimpedance analyses in two cohorts of 1094 healthy adults, including Africans in Zaire, plus African Americans and Caucasians in New York City.…
