    Open AccessDorcas Kamuya, Dorcas M Kamuya et al.ARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2013

    Fieldworkers ( FWs ) are community members employed by research teams to support access to participants, address language barriers, and advise on culturally appropriate research conduct.

    P W Geissler, Felicitas Becker et al.BOOKAIDS and religious practice in…2009

    This volume explores how AIDS is understood, confronted and lived with through religious ideas and practices, and how these, in turn, are reinterpreted and changed by the experience of AIDS.

Ins…

These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels, which are themselves influenced by policy choices. Armed conflict and forced displacement are important influences on the social determinants of health. There is limited evidence on the social de…
