Erziehung und Interaktion in der Kindertagesstätte
Dieses Buch blickt auf den Alltag von Kindertagesstätten. Sorge, Lehre, Sozialisation und Führung, vor allem aber Erziehungsprozesse, die sich in der Interaktion zwischen Fachkräften und Kindern entfalten, werden mit der Dokumentarischen Methode anhand von Videoaufnahmen rekonstruiert. Proaktive, katalysierende und reaktive Formen von Orientierungszumutungen sind ebenso Thema wie ihre Nachhaltigkeit, Machtfragen und das Scheitern von Erziehung. T…
Conceptualizing safer sex in a new era
Background Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at the epicenter of the HIV epidemic. Efforts to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV transmission have traditionally focused on condoms and abstinence from high risk sexual practices. Recently, additional methods such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and viral load sorting have been introduced. The aim of this study was to gain understanding about risk management and risk percept…
Sex, drugs and techno – a qualitative study on finding the balance between risk, safety and pleasure among men who have sex with men engaging in recreational and sexualised drug use
The findings of this study point to the need for increased adoption of harm reduction techniques in this population focusing on mitigating harm and prevention of risk of problematic use or starting injection drugs. Existing traditional services require adaptations to become more accessible and acceptable to sub-groups of drug users, including low-threshold services providing non-judgemental, evidence-based information. This will require funding o…

‘Health is wealth and wealth is health’ – perceptions of health and ill-health among female sex workers in Savannakhet, Laos
BACKGROUND: Female sex workers (FSWs) are vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other types of health problems and they also encounter socio-economic difficulties. Efforts to develop effective health intervention programs for FSWs have been hampered by a lack of information on why FSWs do not seek or delay seeking treatment for STIs. To further understand their reasons, our study applied a qualitative approach to explore percep…
Inequity in India
BACKGROUND: Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 is focused on reducing maternal mortality and achieving universal access to reproductive health care. India has made extensive efforts to achieve MDG 5 and in some regions much progress has been achieved. Progress has been uneven and inequitable however, and many women still lack access to maternal and reproductive health care. OBJECTIVE: In this review, a framework developed by the Commission on So…
Disadvantaged populations in maternal health in China who and why
BACKGROUND: China has made impressive progress towards the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) for maternal and reproductive health, but ensuring that progress reaches all segments of the population remains a challenge for policy makers. The aim of this review is to map disadvantaged populations in terms of maternal health in China, and to explain the causes of these inequities to promote policy action. METHODS: We searched PUBMED, Popline, Proques…
Ethnic minority health in Vietnam
Better understandings of the scope and pathways of horizontal inequities are required to address ethnic inequities in health. Awareness of ethnicity as a determinant of health, not only as a covariate of poverty or living area, needs to be improved, and research needs to be designed with this in mind
Bringing evidence to policy to achieve health-related MDGs for all
BACKGROUND: The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are monitored using national-level statistics, which have shown substantial improvements in many countries. These statistics may be misleading, however, and may divert resources from disadvantaged populations within the same countries that are showing progress. The purpose of this article is to set out the relevance and design of the "Evidence for Policy and Implementation project (EPI-4)". EPI-…
Inequity in maternal health care service utilization in Gujarat
BACKGROUND: Two decades after the launch of the Safe Motherhood campaign, India still accounts for at least a quarter of maternal death globally. Gujarat is one of the most economically developed states of India, but progress in the social sector has not been commensurate with economic growth. The purpose of this study was to use district-level data to gain a better understanding of equity in access to maternal health care and to draw the attenti…
Risk perceptions of STIs/HIV and sexual risk behaviours among sexually experienced adolescents in the Northern part of Lao PDR
Adolescents in this study engaged in sexual risk behaviours, but they have low perception of risk getting STI/HIV. Socio-demographic factors, knowledge of STIs/HIV, and the level of exposure to STIs were the main determinants of the risk perception of STIs/HIV. Our finding supports the need to target adolescents in Luangnamtha province for HIV prevention intervention by addressing inaccurate perception of risk and increasing their knowledge on ST…
Risks, benefits and survival strategies-views from female sex workers in Savannakhet, Laos
The desire to be self-sufficient and earn as much money as possible put the FSWs in disadvantaged and vulnerable situations. Fear of financial insecurity, obligations to support one's family and the need to secure the future influenced FSWs' decisions to have safe or unsafe sex. The FSWs were, however, not only victims. They also had some control over their lives and working environment, with most viewing their work as an easy and good way of ear…
Self-reported health risk behaviors among adolescents in Luang Namtha province of Lao PDR
The purpose of this study was to assess self-reported prevalence of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use, and sexual risk behaviors, as well as to identify sources of sex education and individual, family, and peer factors that might influence adolescents’ health risk behaviors (HRB). In a community-based, cross-sectional study, 1360 adolescents aged 14–19 years were interviewed from June to September 2008 in Luang Namtha province. Multistage systematic…
Acceptability of male circumcision for prevention of HIV infection among men and women in Uganda
In the last decade, three randomized controlled trials in Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda have shown that medical male circumcision (MMC) reduces the sexual transmission of HIV from women to men. Objectives of this assessment were to measure acceptability of adult MMC and circumcision of children to inform policies regarding whether and how to promote MMC as an HIV prevention strategy. This mixed-method study, conducted across four Ugandan distri…
Concurrent multiple health risk behaviors among adolescents in Luangnamtha province, Lao PDR
Multiple health risk behaviors (HRBs) among adolescents pose a threat to their health, including HIV/AIDS. Health risk behaviors such as alcohol use, smoking, substance use, and sexual risk behaviors among youth have been shown to co-occur with each others. The objectives of this study was to estimate the prevalence of single and concurrent health risk behaviors and to explore how health risk behavior is associated with socio-demographic factors …
Customary adolescent sexual practices among the Akha of northern Lao PDR
Based on interviews and focus group discussions conducted in northern Laos, this study explores Akha understandings of customary first pre-pubertal sex acts, a thonh thong ('break through vagina' [BV]) for girls and yaha heu ('open foreskin' [OF]) for boys, which are thought to enable the maturing of bodies into adulthood. The study also examines the practice of a thor ta yang ('Welcome Guest') in which sexually initiated girls have sex with male…
Promoting equity to achieve maternal and child health
Maternal and child mortality rates, the targets for two of the eight Millennium Development Goals, remain unacceptably high in many countries. Some countries have made significant advances in reducing deaths in pregnancy, childbirth, and childhood at the national level. However, on a sub-national basis most countries show wide disparities in health indices which are not necessarily reflected in national figures. This is a sign of inequitable acce…
Hochqualifizierte BildungsausländerInnen in Deutschland
„In Deutschland gibt es hochqualifizierte MigrantInnen nur im Ausnahmefall.“ So lässt sich der gesellschaftliche Konsens zusammenfassen, den der anhaltende Diskurs über die Bildungsmisere der Nachkommen von ArbeitsmigrantInnen ebenso wie die im Jahre 2000 ins Leben gerufene Greencard-Initiative und alle nachfolgenden politischen Bemühungen, hochqualifizierte MigrantInnen ins Land zu locken, noch befördert haben. Indes: Nicht nur hat eine ganze Re…
A survey of risk behaviors for unintended pregnancy and human immunodeficiency virus among youth attending voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services in nine centers in urban Haiti and Tanzania
Little is known about the behavioral risks for both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and unintended pregnancy among sexually active youth attending voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) in developing countries, and whether youth engaging in risky sexual behaviors perceive themselves to be at risk for HIV. Data are from two cross-sectional studies with youth VCT clients in four facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and five facilities in Port-a…
Thinking Aloud to Create Better Condom Use Questions
Measuring the effects of HIV/AIDS prevention efforts through self-reported condom use data is problematic since such data are frequently subject to bias. The purpose of this study was to pretest a sexual behavior instrument to identify ways to improve comprehension and decrease recall and social desirability bias. The method used was cognitive interviewing, in which fifteen sex workers were asked to "think aloud" as they problem solved simulated …
