Assessing the Early Impact of the Change in the Kava Importation Policy in Australia
The Australian Government launched the kava pilot program to ease import regulations on kava, aiming to strengthen cultural and economic ties between Australia and Pacific Island countries. Implemented in two phases, personal importation in 2019 and commercial importation in 2021, the program was accompanied by a concurrent evaluation. The evaluation examined the health, social, cultural and economic impacts of the pilot program on the Australian…
The critical challenge for ELT in Indonesia
In recent years, the Indonesian government has put greater emphasis on promoting critical thinking in the education system, including the notion of critical thinking in national examinations, curriculum, and graduate outcomes for school education. Nevertheless, as in many testing-oriented countries, fostering critical thinking in the Indonesian context can be challenging, as the long-standing culture of testing, in which every answer is either co…
Using collaborative action research to promote critical thinking pedagogies in ELT in Indonesia
In several studies, collaborative action research has been shown to be a productive approach to enabling teachers to incorporate critical thinking into their pedagogy; however it has not been investigated in the Indonesian context. To address this gap, we facilitated a collaborative action research project with a small group of English language teachers in Indonesia. We organised three online focus group discussions (FGDs), shared resources, and …

Understanding the intersectional stigma of ageing, disability, and place
Stigma is a key concept for social scientists interested in how certain groups in society are judged and treated negatively. Within housing studies this scholarship reflects longstanding interests within the discipline regarding the spatial impacts of social and urban policies on both people, and the places in which they live. We augment these debates by advocating for a more intersectional understanding of how stigma is shaped by identity. It pr…
‘I feel that I should decide on my own….’
INTRODUCTION: Efforts to improve health outcomes among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (ALHs) are hampered by limited adolescent engagement in HIV-related research. We sought to understand the views of adolescents, caregivers and healthcare workers (HCWs) about who should make decisions regarding ALHs' research participation. METHODS: We conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) with ALHs (aged 14-24 yea…
Simulated patient training to improve youth engagement in HIV care in Kenya
Youth living with HIV (YLHIV) report that negative interactions with health care workers (HCWs) affects willingness to return to care. This stepped wedge randomized trial evaluated effectiveness of a standardized patient actor (SP) HCW training intervention on adolescent engagement in care in Kenya. HCWs caring for YLHIV at 24 clinics received training on adolescent care, values clarification, communication, and motivational interviewing, with 7 …
“They have given you the morale and confidence
Community-based delivery of oral HIV self-testing (HIVST) may expand access to testing among adolescents and young adults (AYA). Eliciting youth perspectives can help to optimize these services. We conducted nine focus group discussions (FGDs) with HIV negative AYA aged 15-24 who had completed oral HIVST following community-based distribution through homes, pharmacies, and bars. FGDs were stratified by distribution point and age (15-17, 18-24). P…
Condom Use Behaviors, Risk Perception, and Partner Communication Following Oral HIV Self-testing Among Adolescents and Young Adults in Kenya
Applying the principles of triage to support the rapid transition to online learning during the pandemic
In the higher education sector, military academies operate in environments that differ from university campuses. Like other institutions, military academies had to manage changes to learning and teaching in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This required an approach, a model, that acknowledges and aligns with the needs of a military academy. Using a case study approach, the changes at one faculty at an Australian military academy undergoing a ra…
High Acceptance and Completion of HIV Self-testing Among Diverse Populations of Young People in Kenya Using a Community-Based Distribution Strategy
Psychosocial Factors, Condomless Sex, and Detectable Viral Load in HIV-Positive Women in Serodiscordant Couples in Nairobi, Kenya
The Psychosocial Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Youth Living with HIV in Western Kenya
The objective of this study was to assess psychosocial effects of COVID-19 among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) in Kenya and to assess the feasibility of conducting behavioral surveys by phone. We adapted our protocol to administer telephone rather than in-person follow-up surveys and included questions about COVID-19. The majority of participants (99%) reported having heard of COVID-19; 23% reported no longer being able to go outside, 17% r…
Mapping HIV prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa between 2000 and 2017
HIV/AIDS is a leading cause of disease burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Existing evidence has demonstrated that there is substantial local variation in the prevalence of HIV; however, subnational variation has not been investigated at a high spatial resolution across the continent. Here we explore within-country variation at a 5 × 5-km resolution in sub-Saharan Africa by estimating the prevalence of HIV among adults (aged 15–49 years) and the corres…
Pilot evaluation of a standardized patient actor training intervention to improve HIV care for adolescents and young adults in Kenya
Poor retention in HIV care remains a major problem for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA). A Standardized Patient (SP) clinical training intervention was developed to improve healthcare worker (HCW) "adolescent-friendly" competencies in Kenya. Professional actors were trained to portray HIV-infected AYA according to standardized scripts. HCWs completed a 2-day SP training that included didactic sessions, 7 video-recorded SP encounters, and group …
Reducing Local Capacity Bias in Government Grantsmanship
Local governments with more fiscal and administrative resources are at an advantage for obtaining numerous intergovernmental grants. Although many studies have examined the impact of this local capacity bias on grant getting, there has been minimal research on how grant programs could reduce it. We evaluate the effectiveness of two actions that federal and state grant programs have taken to decrease local capacity bias for economically disadvanta…
A Prospective Cohort Study of Intimate Partner Violence and Unprotected Sex in HIV-Positive Female Sex Workers in Mombasa, Kenya
A Prospective Study of Intimate Partner Violence as a Risk Factor for Detectable Plasma Viral Load in HIV-Positive Women Engaged in Transactional Sex in Mombasa, Kenya
Exploring intergenerational changes in perceptions of gender roles and sexuality among Indigenous women in Oaxaca
The south of Mexico has traditionally faced disproportionate social, health and economic disadvantage relative to the rest of the country, due in part to lower levels of economic and human development, and barriers faced by Indigenous populations. The state of Oaxaca, in particular, has one of the highest proportions of Indigenous people and consistently displays high rates of maternal mortality, sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregna…
Follow‐up care in cancer
Background Over recent years, several initiatives have impacted on the referral of patients to secondary care, most notably targets for urgent referral in suspected cancer and the patient choice agenda. At the same time, improved long‐term survival in cancer has increased numbers attending follow‐up, doubts about the effectiveness of specialist follow‐up have emerged, and alternative models of follow‐up have been tested. Aim The aim of the study …
Association Between Alcohol Use and Sexually Transmitted Infection Incidence Among Kenyan Women Engaged in Transactional Sex
Connecting expectations and experiences of students in a research-immersive degree
Recent studies of undergraduates engaged in authentic research have suggested that students may benefit in a range of different ways from such experiences. However, these same studies have also shown significant variation in the extent and universality of these benefits. This article investigates the impact of one potential source of variation in perceived benefits: students' prior expectations of what research experiences might offer. The author…
Exploring Abortion Knowledge and Opinion Among Lawyers, an Important yet Overlooked Stakeholder Group in Mexico
Lawyers are important actors shaping the abortion debate in Mexico. Of 250 private and public sector criminal lawyers surveyed from four regions, the majority knew about abortion laws in their states. At least 80% agreed with abortion in cases of rape, risk to a woman's life or health, and fetal malformations. Overall, 61% agreed with the Mexico City law and 84% would defend a woman denied a legal abortion. In multivariate analysis, being very kn…
Local development planning and the tourism sector
Tourism has seen exponential growth over the past 60 years. In Africa there has been rapid growth, but considerably more variability. The impacts of this volatility are experienced most directly by local communities who typically have little input into decision-making about tourism and related investments. This article considers the case of Kenya, where in recent years tourism has become the leading source of foreign exchange. The article conside…
Academics' perceptions of the purpose of undergraduate research experiences in a research-intensive degree
The inclusion of research experiences as core components of undergraduate curricula implies that students will be exposed to and situated within the research activities of their university. Such experiences thus provide a new prism through which to view the relations between teaching, research and learning. The intentions and actions of academics supervising these activities will be strongly influenced by their beliefs regarding the nature of res…
The Professionalisation of Foster Care
Recent developments in fostering services have led foster carers increasingly to identify themselves as professionals. Kate Wilson and Julia Evetts review some of the changes in the service which suggest that foster care arguably can no longer be seen as a voluntary activity and that the changes in the role now required can only be carried out successfully in the context of a fully professionalised service. However, the article draws on three soc…
The trouble with foster care
The article draws on the first stages of a large-scale longitudinal study into foster care with 'looked after' children. It uses data supplied by 950 foster carers in response to a postal questionnaire designed to document the proportions who had experienced one or more of six potentially stressful 'events': breakdowns or disruptions, allegations, relationship with birth parents, family tensions, 'tug of love' cases, and other disagreements with …
A Life More Ordinary’
Based on findings from their recent study, Ian Sinclair, Kate Wilson and Ian Gibbs discuss the criteria which foster care needs to meet if it is to fulfill the requirements of looked after children. Analysis of 150 postal questionnaires from foster children showed five main preoccupations: the care they received from their foster families; the relationship between their feelings for their foster and their birth families; their contact with and pr…

Foster fathers
The paper reports some of the findings of an exploratory study that looks at foster fathers’ experiences of fostering and discusses their routes into foster care and their perspectives on their roles and tasks. The study collected quantitative and qualitative data by approaching all foster fathers registered with a single independent fostering agency based in south‐east England. They were asked about their personal and professional attributes, an…
Kinship and Stranger Foster Carers
US research suggests that kinship foster carers are a valued resource but less well supported than carers who are strangers. Jennifer Sykes, Ian Sinclair, Ian Gibbs and Kate Wilson draw on data from their own large-scale study of foster carers to see if similar issues arise in England. The study suggests that kinship carers are a heterogeneous group. Some want to be treated as carers entitled to similar levels of financial reward, and in need of …
Public Opinion on Abortion in Mexico City after the Landmark Reform
This article presents findings from three opinion surveys conducted among representative samples of Mexico City residents: the first one immediately prior to the groundbreaking legalization of first‐trimester abortion in April 2007, and one and two years after the reform. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess changes in opinion concerning abortion and correlates of favorable opinion following reform. In 2009 a clear majorit…

A Kind of Loving
The article builds on a companion statistical paper, which drew on the findings of a large sample of foster placements and analysed factors leading to a successful placement and the avoidance of disruption. A model of successful foster care was developed which suggested that outcomes depend on three aspects of the foster placement, those that relate to the child, the foster carer and the interaction between the two. Here, a concrete example in th…
Public Opinion on Abortion in Eight Mexican States amid Opposition to Legalization
In opposition to Mexico City's legalization of first‐trimester abortion, 17 Mexican states (53 percent) have introduced initiatives or reforms to ban abortion entirely, and other states have similar legislation pending. We conducted an opinion survey in eight states—four where constitutional amendments have already been approved and four with pending amendments. Using logistic regression analyses, we found that higher education, political party a…

Adoption Reform
While many aspects of current government policy on adoption are welcome, there is concern that some key issues in the adoption process are not adequately addressed in the Adoption and Children Bill, 2001, and that the use of quantitative targets will not necessarily support the good practice identified. In this article Margaret Bell, Kate Wilson and Marilyn Crawshaw consider, in particular, two areas of difficulty in the selection and preparation…
Towards the Disintegration of Child Welfare Services
This paper examines market issues in the provision of children's services in the light of the changing role and practice of local authorities contracting for welfare services. In adult services, where there has been a legal requirement to reorganize on market lines, the services have had to modify some of their earlier contracting practices to take account of the complex requirements of health and welfare services and it is argued that relational…
Effective strategies for working with children and families
This paper reviews the ability and effectiveness of different kinds of intervention in cases of child abuse. It gives an account of the kind of work carried out in Britain and considers the question of which professionals and which agencies become involved in providing therapy for children and families. While local authority social workers are still very much involved in providing psychosocial help to children and families where abuse has occurre…
Marriage in Literature
The surface which marriages customarily present to the world is often misleading. Indeed, one of the central paradoxes in this most intimate of relationships is that although almost everybody has some personal and immediate experience of it, and although there is a vast array of social research that has looked at marriage from the outside, we do not in fact know much—other than from our personal experience—about marriage from the inside. As Mount…

No place like home
The Children Act 1948 emphasizes foster care as the alternative provision for children who cannot be cared for by their own families; it also underlines the responsibility of the state to provide good alternative homes where necessary. The Act reflects contemporary developments in psychological thinking about the importance of attachment relationships, and a recognition, derived in part from the experiences of evacuation, of the harmful effects o…

Microfossil record of the Holocene evolution of coastal wetlands in a tectonically active region of New Zealand
The shallow tidal Wairau coastal lagoons, New Zealand, are in a prime location for investigating the relative roles of tectonic and eustatic sea level on their palaeogeographic evolution. The Wairau lagoons are unique in New Zealand for their wide seasonal and tidal salinity range, from hyposaline (10—20 psu) to hypersaline (35—54 psu). Foraminiferal and ostracod associations are recognised, using Q-mode cluster analysis, living in and around the…
How Often and Under Which Circumstances Do Mexican Pharmacy Vendors Recommend Misoprostol To Induce an Abortion
CONTEXT: Misoprostol was used by women across Mexico to induce abortion even before 2007, when first-trimester abortion was legalized in Mexico City. Pharmacy vendors' misoprostol recommendation practices across subregions of Mexico after abortion legalization warrant examination. METHODS: Overall, 192 pharmacies in four regions of Mexico were randomly selected and visited by simulated clients presenting three scenarios (a young woman, an adult w…
