Incidental Pathologic Findings from Orthodontic Pretreatment Panoramic Radiographs
Panoramic radiography is frequently performed for new patients, follow-ups and treatment in progress. This enables dental clinicians to detect pathology, view important structures, and assess developing teeth. The objective of the study was to determine prevalence of incidental pathologic findings (IPFs) from orthodontic pretreatment panoramic radiographs at a university dental hospital. A retrospective cross-sectional review was conducted of pre…
Difference in HIV prevalence by testing venue
Growing demand for use of Health Facility (HF) HIV testing data, in addition to other testing data to obtain district level HIV prevalence requires understanding the comparability of these various sources. We analysed the 2011 Uganda AIDS indicator survey data to assess: the proportion of people tested for HIV across Uganda by venue of testing; HIV prevalence ratio for those tested in a HF compared to those tested in community setting; [Katz, D.,…
Decision space and participation of primary healthcare facility managers in the Ideal Clinic Realisation and Maintenance programme in two South African provinces
In South Africa, the introduction of a national health insurance (NHI) system is the most prominent health sector reform planned to achieve universal health coverage in the country. Primary health care (PHC) is the foundation of the proposed NHI system. This study draws on policy implementation theory and Bossert’s notion of decision space to analyse PHC facility managers’ decision space and their participation in the implementation of the Ideal …

The findings have implications for the integrated management of children with cleft lip and/or palate, including information to parents, the education and training of healthcare providers, raising public awareness of birth defects, and social support
Amy Finkelstein
Amy Finkelstein is the 2012 recipient of the John Bates Clark Medal from the American Economic Association. The core concerns of Amy's research program have been insurance markets and health care. She has addressed whether asymmetric information leads to inefficiencies in insurance markets, how large social insurance programs affect healthcare markets, and the determinants of innovation incentives in health care. We describe a number of Amy's key…
Factors associated with consistent condom use among rural young women in South Africa
Despite high levels of awareness of HIV, condom use, particularly consistent use, is suboptimal among young South African women. This paper aims to investigate the factors associated with both any condom use and consistent use by young rural women. In this study 1204 sexually active female volunteers, aged 15-26 years, were selected using a two-stage procedure in which firstly 70 clusters were selected and thereafter up to 20 women per cluster we…
Empirical Industrial Organization
The field of industrial organization has made dramatic advances over the last few decades in developing empirical methods for analyzing imperfect competition and the organization of markets. These new methods have diffused widely: into merger reviews and antitrust litigation, regulatory decision making, price setting by retailers, the design of auctions and marketplaces, and into neighboring fields in economics, marketing, and engineering. Increa…
Transactional sex with casual and main partners among young South African men in the rural Eastern Cape
Perpetration of partner violence and HIV risk behaviour among young men in the rural Eastern Cape, South Africa
OBJECTIVES: To examine associations between the perpetration of intimate partner violence and HIV risk behaviour among young men in rural South Africa. DESIGN: An analysis of baseline data from men enrolling in a randomized controlled trial of the behavioural intervention, Stepping Stones. METHODS: Structured interviews with 1275 sexually experienced men aged 15-26 years from 70 villages in the rural Eastern Cape. Participants were asked about th…
Risk factors for domestic violence
An Introduction to Vote-Counting Schemes
Many researchers, following Kenneth Arrow's lead, have concerned themselves with stating various desirable or undesirable criteria and attempting to classify vote-counting systems. This paper moves away from theoretical discussions: the authors illustrate and motivate a variety of alternatives to plurality rule. The authors demonstrate by example how these alternatives, such as min-max majority and single transferable vote, work and where they fa…
