Applying Health Social Science
Health social science has evolved rapidly since the late 1980s. This volume presents ten case studies that exemplify some of the best practice in health social science in developing countries. The studies address the critical question of how social/behavioural science approaches can make a difference to significant health issues such as AIDS, people's reliance on traditional healers, their use of both indigenous and modern medicine, STDs, smoking, heart disease, and pyschological stress.The first and last chapters provide an overview of the evolving role of health social science research and examine some of the most promising perspectives illustrated by the case studies. The editors also reflect on future challenges and innovations in health social science research. This book will be a valuable resource for policymakers, planners and foundations supporting international health development, as well as scholars and public health practitioners.
Integrating Poverty and Gender Into Health Programmes
This publication is part of a series which examines the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of health policies and programmes, focusing on the multidimensional aspects of poverty and gender-based disparities. The series is designed for use in the training of health professionals, as well as a reference document for policy-makers and programme managers. This module focuses on poverty and gender concern in the prevention, treatment and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and aims to improve the awareness, knowledge and skills of health professionals of NCDs in developing countries. It is divided into six sections and issues discussed include: the distribution of NCDs globally and within the Western Pacific Region; the links between poverty, gender and NCDs; human rights issues; good practices in prevention, treatment and control; notes for facilitators; and information on tools and other resources.
