Abstract:
Yoga is increasingly ubiquitous in the United States and globally. The growth of yoga's popularity alongside Indian healing philosophies, including Ayurvedic medicine, makes yoga an important influence on conceptualization of health in holistic terms. Because of these philosophies, the growing use of yoga has implications for how healthcare is sought and utilized. Yoga practitioners are likely to engage in pluralistic health care-seeking practices, yet, the underlying perspectives that drive yoga practitioners to engage in particular health practices are poorly understood in anthropological an

Abstract:
An ear infection (EI) is one of the most common pediatric illnesses. This study aimed to assess parental knowledge, care-seeking practices, and factors associated with them. A cross-sectional study involved a sample of parents attending hospitals in three selected cities in Iraq. Data were collected with a questionnaire composed of three parts: i) Sociodemographic characteristics, ii) Questions related to knowledge of symptoms, risk factors, and complications of an EI, and iii) Questions related to care-seeking practices. The mean age of respondents was 34.99 (±9.85) years. Females made up 58.

Abstract:
Health seeking practices of the mother in the pre/postnatal period can serve as an indicator of future maternal child health, according to the World Health Organization's (WHO 2013) 11 indicators of maternal, newborn, and child health. Postnatal care and the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding are important to the immediate health and well-being of both mother and child for many reasons, yet these findings are unconnected to the health seeking practices of women of reproductive age.

Abstract:
The provision of stigmatizing, weight-centric healthcare negatively affects health in many ways, including the stress it generates, the barriers to healthcare access it creates, and the way it encourages healthcare avoidance. Seeking to mitigate these harmful consequences and enhance patient care and equity, some healthcare providers have begun to adopt a weight-inclusive practice framework. Via a thematic analysis of 85 interviews with healthcare providers who self-identify as providing weight-inclusive care, I find that in addition to providing weight-inclusive, non-stigmatizing treatment/ c

Abstract:
It is estimated that as many as 1.5 billion people globally do not possess any form of identification [1]. Most of these people currently live in Africa and Asia. The lack of identification prevents them from accessing the basic rights and services afforded to them. In healthcare, proof of identity is required to access basic health services, and accurately monitor one’s diagnosis and treatment. This enables health care facilities to provide quality services. Without any identification, governments and development organisations cannot cater to the basic needs of these individuals. This is a ke

Abstract:
Motivated by the relatively low indicators for access to basic secondary education and healthcare, the study attempts to (1) analyse national policy and institutional framework for inclusive development in health and education, and (2) identify areas needing attention or updating. In education, Cambodia has made considerable progress towards achieving universal nine-year basic education. Supply-side issues are more important than demand-side factors, particularly the poor quality of teaching and learning; relatively low, albeit growing, government funds for education; corruption in service del
