A Character Player for All Seasons
Promoting safer sexual practices among expectant fathers in the Lao People's Democratic Republic
Men's decisions and behaviours influence the sexual, reproductive and maternal health of women and the health of their families, but men are rarely included in reproductive and maternal health care services. Men's attendance at antenatal care has the potential to prevent women from becoming infected with HIV during pregnancy and post-partum, when they are more vulnerable to infection and have a high risk of transmission to the infant. Greater inv…
Planning STI/HIV Prevention Among Refugees and Mobile Populations
This article reflects an investigation of knowledge, attitudes and behaviours and HIV/STI prevalence of Sudanese refugees and Ethiopian sex workers in 1992. It represents one of the earliest such investigations within an African refugee population. The investigation took place in the Dimma refugee settlement in south-western Ethiopia and study participants included Sudanese refugee men and women and Ethiopian female sex workers. Methods used for …
The Historical Development of Public Health Responses to Disasters
The first of a series of state‐of‐the‐art reviews commissioned to mark Disasters’ 21st anniversary, this paper considers key publications on public health aspects of natural disasters, refugee emergencies and complex humanitarian disasters over the past twenty‐odd years. The literature is reviewed and important signposts highlighted showing how the field has developed. This expanding body of epidemiological research has provided a basis for incre…
Malnutrition-Mortality Relationships among Refugees
Mortality measures are among the best objective indicators of a refugee population's recovery from the emergency phase of a crisis, as well as the best measure of the population's long term well-being. However, nutrition-related excess mortality and post-emergency phase nutritional deterioration continue to be identified in refugee relief operations. Studies in refugee and non-refugee situations have clearly established the relationship between m…
A Case Study of Somali Refugees in Hartisheik A Camp, Eastern Ethiopia
During the first nine months of an international assistance programme, there was a major deterioration in the nutritional status of approximately 170,000 Somali refugees in the eastern Ethiopian camp of Hartisheik A. The acute malnutrition prevalence rate among children less than 5 years of age increased from 15% in September 1988 (three months after the refugees' arrival) to 26% in March 1989. This increase in malnutrition prevalence was associa…
Assessing the quality of facility-based child survival services
The facility-based assessment (FBA) method is a co-ordinated set of data collection activities, designed to determine the extent to which children are properly diagnosed and effectively treated at health facilities. Eleven African countries have conducted facility-based assessments since 1986, with support from the African Child Survival Initiative-Combatting Childhood Communicable Diseases project. Components of the FBA include observations of h…
Disease Surveillance and Control After a Flood
Following a flood in Khartoum, Sudan, emergency disease surveillance was implemented to monitor the health status of the population. Simple, symptom-oriented case definitions for diarrheal disease, measles, respiratory disease, malaria, and jaundice were included on the report form used to collect daily counts of outpatients in a sample of both temporary and permanent clinics located in areas of the city most affected by the flood. Data collected…
An outbreak of scurvy in Somali refugee camps
Between June and October 1982, an outbreak of scurvy occurred in the refugee camps of Somalia. An epidemiologic investigation eventually detected more than 2,000 cases. The outbreak came at a time when the relief programme had been well established and the general health status of the refugees had otherwise stabilized. We report on 72 of the cases. Joint pain of the lower extremities and gingivitis were prominent features in the majority. Hemorrh…
