Abstract:

We discuss key issues to consider when conducting clinical trials with vulnerable children, youths, and families, with particular attention to groups affected by communal violence/war and families affected by HIV/AIDS. Across these settings, there is an overlap of several forms of adversity and vulnerability which require careful research attention. We also discuss ethical practices with vulnerable groups, including the use of qualitative methods to enhance understanding of local perspectives and language around mental health problems and resilience, planning for risk of harm referral networks

Abstract:

Although studies of the psychometric properties of scales do not have the same ethical challenges as those involving interventions, there are still areas that researchers need to be sensitive to. These include issues such as informed consent, especially with vulnerable populations, and deception. This chapter also discusses confidentiality, and when this can be breached for legal reasons. It also returns to the issue of consequential validity and the ethical issues that may arise when minority or disadvantaged groups attain scores that are different from those of the majority population.

Abstract:

Group interventions offer effective and efficient ways to educate patients, treat illnesses, and facilitate healing and support for a variety of physical, emotional, and social challenges. Patients feel vulnerable and fearful when ill and value the opportunity to tell their narratives in cohesive groups. Group interventions can target specific diseases, symptoms, skill-building strategies, life stages, or vulnerable patient populations to help improve patient, disease, and health care outcomes within integrated health care settings and other specialty practices.

Climate Change Adaptation for Health and Social Services addresses concerns from the health and community services sector, including local government, about how to respond to climate change and its impacts on communities.   What should an intervention framework for the community-based health and social services sector contain and how can it complement an organisation's core values, role and work programs? What current direct and indirect impacts of climate change are most relevant to organisations and the communities they serve? Which population groups are most vulnerable to climat

Abstract:

Positive mental health can contribute to better educational, employment, and social functioning. Public mental health includes both mental health promotion and prevention of mental ill health. Public mental health works at levels of general and whole population and society, vulnerable groups and individuals, and those needing early diagnosis and intervention. At each level different strategies are required. It is recognized that, when in distress, most individuals will seek help first from within their personal, social, and folk support systems and seek professional help only if that does not

Abstract:

Expert public psychiatrists use case studies to share best practice strategies in this clinically oriented introduction to community mental health. Today, the majority of psychiatrists work with people who suffer not only from mental illness but also from poverty, trauma, social isolation, and discrimination. Psychiatrists cannot do this work alone but, instead, are part of teams of behavioral health workers navigating larger health care and social service systems. In an increasingly complex health care environment, mental health clinicians need to master systems-based practice in order to pro

Abstract:

Around the world, people nearing and entering retirement are holding ever-greater levels of debt than in the past. This is not a benign situation, as many pre-retirees and retirees are stressed about their indebtedness. Moreover, this growth in debt among the older population may render retirees vulnerable to financial shocks, medical care bills, and changes in interest rates. Contributors to this volume explore key aspects of the rise in debt across older cohorts, drill down into the types of debt and reasons for debt incurred by the older population, and review policies to remedy some of the

Endemic areas are those with the presence (or likely presence) of the full life cycle of Taenia solium. The parasite is most prevalent in poor and vulnerable communities in which pigs roam free, open defecation is practiced, basic sanitation is deficient, and health education is absent or limited. Several tools are available for the control of Taenia solium. Preventive chemotherapy for

Abstract:

There is no question that a lack of careful decision-making around opioid prescribing in the past contributed to the current opioid-related harms. Yet opioids—usually in combination with other treatments—are sometimes the only effective therapies for certain chronic pain patients, in whom the benefits of opioids outweigh the risks of a substance use disorder. This chapter examines special populations such as those with sickle cell disease or those experiencing pain in end-of-life care. Caring for chronic pain patients can be challenging, especially now that the use of opioids for long-term pai

Abstract:

Muslims in the post-9/11 United States have become racialized through a series of laws and public policies ostensibly designed to protect the American public. These occurrences support a functional account of race: laws and public policies are used to render certain populations vulnerable, possibly criminalizing them, rendering them without the protection of legal or political protection, and creating a hostile environment in which those populations are susceptible to political, social, and cultural targeting by the larger society around them.

Abstract:

Near universal homeownership has been a cornerstone of neoliberal urban policy. However, policies that concentrate on making mortgage credit available rather than affordable precipitated the financial crisis and ensured that the most vulnerable populations, ethnic minorities and lower income groups, suffered the most from the collapse of the housing market in late 2007. Because of a prevalence of expensive subprime loans, Black and Latino neighborhoods suffered the highest levels of foreclosure filings and REOs in Chicago. A tightening of credit policies after the crisis also disproportionally

In this paper we first validate the use of the synthetic panels technique in the context of the 2014/15 intra-year panel survey data for Mozambique, and then apply the same technique to the 1996/97, 2002/03, 2008/09, and 2014/15 cross-sectional household budget surveys for the same country. We find that in most analyses poverty rates and poverty transitions estimated using synthetic panels provide results that are close to the true values obtained using the 2014/15 panel data. With respect to intra-year poverty dynamics, we find that Mozambique has a high intra-year variability in consumption

These can include physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect, all of which are prevalent in all sports and at all levels. It also covers particularly vulnerable

The debate about the right to self-determination for indigenous peoples, and its provisional conclusion through the adoption of the Declaration, represents a very significant step in the development of concepts of international legal personality. First, the change in terminology from ‘populations’ to ‘people’ marks the emergence of indigenous peoples as subjects, rather than objects of international law.

Abstract:

Existential distress among caregivers of patients with all sites and stages of cancer is common and may serve as a driving mechanism of caregiver burden. Concurrently, the caregiving experience is an opportunity for meaning-making and growth. To date, no empirically supported treatments specifically target meaning-making and existential distress among cancer caregivers. To address this critical gap in the literature, meaning-centered psychotherapy has been adapted for delivery to cancer caregivers (meaning-centered psychotherapy for cancer caregivers (MCP-C)).

In 2006, the British Crime Survey reported that 10% of adults had used one or more illicit drugs in the preceding year, with 3% reporting using a Class A drug. Over 11 million people in the UK are estimated to have used an illicit drug at least once in their lifetime (35%). Drugs abused vary in their intrinsic potential to cause addiction and, with it, more regular and harmful use. Drug users are influenced by trends and fashions, adopting new compounds such as crack cocaine
