Diabetes care in Samoa
This study examines diabetes care in Samoa, offering insights into global health challenges where most people with diabetes remain undiagnosed and prevention strategies fall short. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and freelist data from 212 participants, we identified three key themes: limited symptom knowledge delays care, traditional healers play a role in care-seeking, and diabetes is often managed through symptom-focused interventions rathe…
Exploring the use of film to stimulate dialogue on the issues of gender inequality in Samoa
Gender inequality encompasses a myriad of overlapping social norms, legal and cultural structures and practices that disadvantage a group based on gender (European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE). 2020. Glossary and Thesaurus: Definition Gender Inequality. EIGE. Accessed April 4, 2020. https://eige.europa.eu/thesaurus/terms/1182). As the development agenda moves forward across the globe, approaches to address gender inequality have expanded …
Exploring Food Literacy Domains in an Adult Samoan Population
Samoan food systems have undergone a dramatic nutrition transition, with dietary patterns changing concurrently with increased rates of obesity and non-communicable disease. Whilst policy action and environmental interventions play an important role in improving access to and consumption of healthy food, the success of these relies on a greater understanding of individuals' food knowledge and behaviours. This study aimed to explore these behaviou…
Decolonising violence against women research
Indigenous knowledge and ways of thinking have often been undermined historically by Western research practices, contributing to repeated calls for better recognition of Southern epistemologies. The EVE Project design outlines our collective thinking on how to address this gap and to further VAWG prevention through the meaningful participation of communities affected by violence in the research and design of their own interventions. We also discu…
Pivoting during a pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected persons with disabilities in ways that include unemployment, inability to adhere to public health measures, and access to health information. The needs of this vulnerable population have been met to a large extent by NGOs in developing countries. With evolving needs during the pandemic, so too have NGOs had to adapt, by pivoting their areas of focus and delivery in a short space of time. In th…
Loving during Covid ‐19
I didn't call today. I was curled up in the blanket that doesn't smell like you anymore, crying until my eyes burned. Happy third year anniversary, my love.....I don't know when I will see you again. Did you see the email from our lawyer? Really nice person, trying to put three terrible options in a hopeful light. Our three terrible options. None of which I can choose right now. They felt like a crushing blow upon a spirit that was already weak. …
Capturing the Experiences of Samoa
The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything most of us have experienced in our lifetimes, apart from those who survived the 1918 flu pandemic. In the pandemic of 2020, Samoa has managed to date to keep the virus away from its shores, untouched by cases within its borders but inextricably linked to the global interwoven whole to which its people belong. With effects across the health sectors, economy, and education, the closure of borders and the ces…
