Reproductive health services for Syrian refugees in Zaatri Camp and Irbid City, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: An evaluation of the Minimum Initial Services Package
MISP services and key elements to support implementation were largely in place. Pre-existing Jordanian health infrastructure, prior MISP trainings, dedicated leadership and available funding and supplies facilitated MISP implementation. The lack of a national protocol on clinical management of rape survivors hindered provision of these services, while communities' lack of information about the health benefits of the services as well as perceived …
Refugee perceptions of the quality of healthcare: Findings from a participatory assessment in Ngara, Tanzania
This article describes the findings of a participatory assessment of Burundian and Rwandan refugees' perceptions of the quality of health services in camps in Ngara, Tanzania. Taking a beneficiary-centred approach, it examines a collaborative effort by several agencies to develop a generic field guide to analyse refugees' views of healthcare services.

A critical review of behavioral issues related to malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa
Beyond evidence: A retrospective study of factors influencing a malaria treatment policy change in two South African provinces
There is a growing appreciation that decisions on changing drug treatment policy should be based on robust evidence of drug effectiveness. No published information describing the process of decision making prior to malaria treatment policy changes or subsequent success in implementing treatment policy changes exists in South Africa. This retrospective study of the differential implementation of a policy change from chloroquine to sulphadoxine-pyr…

A Practical Discussion of Applied Public Health Research in the Context of Complex Emergencies: Examples from Malaria Control in Refugee Camps
Caring for Those in Crisis: Integrating Anthropology and Public Health in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies
Public Health in Complex Emergencies: Toward a More Integrated Science
Malaria Control in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies
War, famine, civil conflict, and political persecution displacing large populations often leads to severe disruptions in health services, disease control programs, food distribution systems, and loss of shelter. When the dimensions of the crisis overwhelm the local and international communities' ability to respond quickly and effectively, significant morbidity and mortality result in what is termed a complex humanitarian emergency. The public hea…
There Are No Free Gifts! Social Support and the Need for Reciprocity
Few discussions of aid or social support address the feelings that such support engenders in the support recipients. Yet receipt of support creates an emotional cost for the recipient and alters his/her perceived status as an independent member of a social group. This paper presents findings from a larger study of 202 African American and White parents of children with cancer, focusing on social support, social networks, and coping. Most discussi…
A comparison of social support and social networks of black parents and white parents with chronically ill children
Families in Refugee Camps
Currently, a model describing family dynamics in a refugee camp setting is lacking. Although the numbers are staggering, and the sociopolitical and economic consequences of being refugees are enormous, research efforts have not been directed towards individuals and families in refugee camps. Generalized trends in family dynamics are presented within the context of becoming a refugee. Alterations in family structure and organization begin in the p…
