WaSH as a maternal health issue: Three perspectives from rural Uganda
Inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) knowledge and practices affect maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. This article describes postpartum knowledge, resources, and practices in three rural Ugandan hospitals. A lack of WaSH resources was problematic for both staff and newly-birthed mothers who demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the appropriate use of WaSH resources and the links between WaSH and health protection. These r…
Gender Violence as a Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Risk: Uncovering Violence Against Women and Girls as It Pertains to Poor WaSH Access
The purpose of this study was to better understand the gender violence risks that exist in communities where poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) access is a known problem. Focus groups and key informant interviews were used to capture the lived experiences of community and health care practitioners from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. This article provides lived narratives of the various cultural and environmental conditions leading t…
From rhetoric to reality: An NGO's challenge for reaching the furthest behind
The guiding principle of Agenda 2030 is the commitment to “leave no one behind”. However, as the Millennium Development Goals experience has demonstrated, there remains a “rhetoric-implementation gap” where local stakeholders struggle to realistically respond to policies formulated at the global level. This article proposes a way forward for NGOs seeking to translate the rhetoric of Agenda 2030 into reality. It presents an integrated and multi-se…
The cost of poor adjustment to chronic illness: Lessons from three studies
This paper summarizes information about expenditures for people with chronic illness as a function of their psychosocial adjustment to illness. Three studies are discussed: two prospective baseline surveys and one historic cohort analytic study. Each was conducted between 1988 and 1993 in Southern Ontario, Canada in tertiary centres which were treating patients recently referred to a specialty medical clinic for one of 13 types of chronic physica…
Attitudes toward indigenous Australians: The issue of “special treatment”
Previous research has found that people who report negative attitudes toward Indigenous Australians also report acceptance of false beliefs such as “being Indigenous entitles you to more social security benefits”. In the present study, we were interested in examining negative attitudes toward Indigenous Australians across three Western Australian locations, and comments spontaneously generated by participants regarding what is known in the litera…

Understanding Newborn Infant Readmission: Findings of the Ontario Mother and Infant Survey
Clinical decision‐making in the context of chronic illness
This paper develops a framework to compare clinical decision making in relation to chronic and acute medical conditions. Much of the literature on patient‐physician decision making has focused on acute and often life‐threatening medical situations in which the patient is highly dependent upon the expertise of the physician in providing the therapeutic options. Decision making is often constrained and driven by the overwhelming impact of the acute…
Pilot study of a visitor volunteer programme for community elderly people receiving home health care
There is a need to evaluate community support programmes for elderly people. In this randomized control trial (RCT), we determined the effectiveness of 'friendly visitors' in a volunteer programme of a visiting nurses organization in Southern Ontario, Canada. The Volunteer Friendly Visitor Programme was developed to support elderly people receiving homemaking and nursing care in the community. Volunteers are screened, trained, interviewed and mat…
