“Who cares” is key
This cross-sectional study aimed to identify social, clinical, and behavioral factors associated with the oral health status of children living with HIV in Phnom Penh, focusing particularly on the effect of primary caregiver type.

HIV prevalence, risky behaviors, and discrimination experiences among transgender women in Cambodia
BACKGROUND: Transgender people are disproportionately affected by HIV. Despite their high vulnerability to HIV, lack of adequate epidemiological and surveillance data related to this population in many countries prevents provision of appropriate services. This paper summarizes descriptive findings from a national integrated biological and behavioral survey and discusses policy implications of the findings on HIV prevention among transgender women…
Non-communicable diseases and related risk behaviors among men and women living with HIV in Cambodia
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia among men and women living with HIV in Cambodia is considerably high. Related risk factors were also common. Given the comorbidity of NCDs and HIV, policy and programmatic interventions are required, including integration of NCD screening into HIV programs. Distinctions in the levels of diseases and in health behaviors between men and women suggest that interventions need to be…
Mental health among men who have sex with men in Cambodia
In order to mitigate psychological distress among MSM in Cambodia, integration of mental health interventions within HIV programmes should be strengthened. To achieve optimal impact, these interventions should also address alcohol and other substance use, and low condom use among distressed MSM. In addition, training of clinical and non-clinical HIV service providers to screen for mental health symptoms, and subsequent provision of peer-based out…
Prevalence and correlates of psychological distress among drug users in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Factors associated with recent HIV testing among high-risk men who have sex with men
This study highlights the common practices of risky sexual behaviors and relatively low rate of recent HIV testing among MSM in Cambodia. HIV education and social marketing should be expanded and tailored for MSM, specifically addressing the risk of unprotected anal intercourse and the importance of regular HIV testing for early enrolment in the care and treatment cascade
HIV risk and psychological distress among female entertainment workers in Cambodia
FEWs in Cambodia experience high levels of psychological distress, which likely stems from both past negative experiences and current working conditions. For women that are experiencing psychological distress, intervention programs aimed at improving mental health should specifically address substance use, condom availability and negotiation skills, and suicide risk
Periconceptional folic acid in The Netherlands in 1995. Socioeconomic differences
In November 1993 the Dutch Inspectorate of Public Health advised that all women planning a pregnancy should consume 0.5 mg of folic acid daily in the periconceptional period, that is from four weeks before conception until eight weeks thereafter. Thus the risk of fetal neural tube defects (NTD) would be reduced by 50%. As fortified foods were not available in the Netherlands because of legal restrictions, women were advised to take folic acid pil…
Perinatal death in ethnic minorities in The Netherlands

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Perinatal death occurring between 16th week of pregnancy and 24 hours after birth. METHO…
