Effectiveness of Alliances and Partnerships for Health Promotion
This paper assesses the impact of alliances or partnerships for health promotion in northern and southern nations, as described in published papers and through contemporary accounts of best practice. The balance of evidence from published literature and case study accounts is clear. Alliance or partnership initiatives to promote health across sectors, across professional and lay boundaries and between public, private and nongovernment agencies, d…
Is Aids a disease of poverty
This paper aims to begin to consider the evidence for AIDS as a disease of poverty. It seeks to describe the important influence of the social and economic context of HIV/AIDS and of those behaviours associated with HIV transmission, and argues for a shift in emphasis in the conceptualization of the 'problem of AIDS'. The relationship between poverty and AIDS is explored, particularly in relation to global economic development, urbanization, home…
Is there life after work? Experiences of HIV and oncology health staff
A cross-sectional interview survey of 103 HIV/AIDS and 100 oncology staff in nine treatment sites in London aimed to identify ways in which work stress affected domestic and social lives of such staff. In all staff one-third of those without long-term emotional relationships stated they felt their work formed a barrier to their being involved in that way. Most subjects reported spending a considerable amount of time discussing work with partners,…

Measurement in health promotion and protection
98Because the volume is slim, most of the papers are extremely short and do not appear to have been assembled around any discernible structure.Their diversity, however, makes some of them invaluable guides to the variety of approaches being adopted throughout the world to the problem of hypertension, for example, the suggestion that any health professional (dentist, pharmacist, chiropodist or optician), and not just doctors and nurses, should che…
Research in epidemiology and community health in the medical curriculum
Medical students in Nottingham all complete an honours Bachelor of Medical Sciences course in one department including a research project. The honours programme in community health is described, with results from a survey of the 122 graduates since the medical school started. The 98 (80%) responses showed high levels of satisfaction and gain from the programme, the great majority regarding the course as valuable, enjoyable, and giving both resear…
Use of objective measurement in the validation of self-reported smoking in children aged 10 and 11 years
This study of objective measurement of smoking behaviour reports the findings from a sample of 421 children aged 10 and 11 years from Sheffield. Saliva thiocyanate determination did not provide a satisfactory objective method of validating the self-reported smoking of children in this age group. There was a trend (non-significant) for non-smoking children from homes in which a close relative smoked to have higher concentrations of saliva thiocyan…
The Curricular Anatomy of Primary School Health Education
The paper describes a survey of the health education which was taught in 193 Sheffield primary schools during the school year 1978/79 as reported by class teachers. Data were obtained from 728 teachers who between them were responsible for classes of pupils covering the age range from 5 to 12 years. The teaching of particular health topics, and the effective priority given to them by teachers, were found, in the main, to vary systematically with …
