Abstract:

Background: Women account for about a third of all new cases of HIV in India. Based on research examining trends of HIV infection in women, male perception and behaviors have emerged as strong potential risk factors. However, there has been limited research examining the relationship between male’s attitudes toward women and their sexual risk-taking behaviors. This study examined the degree to which men’s beliefs about power dynamics in heterosexual relationships are related to risky sexual behaviors in Indian men. Methods: Data on Indian men from the 2005-2006 National Family Health Survey

Abstract:

<p> Despite the ongoing investments in programs to increase sexual health awareness among young adults globally, many youths remain vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Two-thirds of all STDs occur among youths engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors, which put young adults at higher risk of STDs and can result in serious consequences including infertility. Additionally, the social consequences of STD affect families and communities. While a need exists for increased public awareness of STDs among young adults, extant intervention and prevention activities should be informed by a

Adherence to medication in asthma and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is important because medication may prevent serious consequences, possibly with lifelong effects.

The overall aim of this thesis was to study adherence to medication in asthma and ADHD, and in particular factors associated with adherence. The participants (n=268) in Study I were recruited epid

Abstract:

L'exposition à la pollution atmosphérique, notamment aux particules fines (PM₂.₅), représente un risque majeur pour la santé dans le monde entier, et d'autant plus dans les pays en développement.Le Nord du Liban est ainsi affecté par plusieurs sources de pollution d'origine anthropique, urbaine et industrielle. Pourtant, dans cette région, aucune étude ne s'est intéressée à l'impact des PM₂.₅ sur la santé publique. Il faut également souligner que les mécanismes de toxicité des PM₂.₅ ne sont pas totalement identifiés. Le but de ce travail est d'étudier la nature et l'impact sanitaire de la poll

Background. Congestive heart failure (CHF) and depression, two leading problems in the community, are independently known to result in significant functional impairments, deterioration in quality of life and high mortality. While depression has been found to be a significant predictor of cardiac events and cardiac mortality, the importance of concurrent depression in patients with CHF has only recently been addressed. Studies of adjustment to chronic illnesses suggest that patients' beliefs about their illness or illness perceptions are important factors that may not only explain variat

Introduction: Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a violation against human rights with severe implications for the health of women globally. Migrant women may be exposed to a heightened risk of SGBV as well as obstacles that impair their ability to respond to violence and access care. The aim of this meta-synthesis is to explore healthcare providers’ perceptions and experiences of caring for migrant women affected by SGBV in North America and Europe, in order to identify facilitating factors and strategies used to overcome existing barriers to the provision of care.

Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) kills 1.7 million people each year, and 1/3rd of the world's population is estimated to have latent TB. It was once the deadliest disease in the United States but is now relatively rare and, if treated properly, it is curable. Migrants from TB-endemic countries, such as Haiti, are one source of TB transmission to the US, and the prevalence of TB remains high and is increasing in Little Haiti, Florida. Data on the knowledge and perceptions of Haitian immigrants and Haitian Americans about TB is inadequate. The purpose of this qualitative research was to study the TB-related kn
