This document summarizes health data from Mumbai over several years. It shows increases in cases of diseases like malaria, diarrhea and hypertension between 2008-2009 and 2011-2012. A household survey found that over 75% of citizens use private healthcare, and over 30% of households spend more than 11% of annual income on medical costs. Only 20% of citizens have medical insurance. In 2011-2012, there were estimated cases of 274,957 for diabetes, 392,378 for malaria, and 63,227 for tuberculosis. The report identifies issues like a lack of public health surveillance and a focus on tertiary rather than primary healthcare.

Multiple exclusion and risk behaviour as a pathway to homelessnessFEANTSA
Presentation given by Sarah Johnsen, University of York (U.K.) at the 2013 FEANTSA conference, "Investing in young people to prevent a lost generation: policy and practice in addressing youth homelessness"
http://feantsa.org/spip.php?article1596&lang=en
This document provides an overview of Dr. James Frankish's background and research interests related to homelessness, health, and social determinants of health. It summarizes some of his key findings from research on homelessness in Canada and BC, including characteristics of the homeless population and factors contributing to homelessness. The document proposes several strategies to address homelessness, such as engaging the public in discussions, using housing to enable intersectoral collaboration, linking employment training to independent living, and creating local infrastructure to measure outcomes.
Anti-social behavior can seriously affect victims and communities. It causes fear that influences daily routines, such as avoiding certain areas, not going out at night, and worrying about safety. Surveys found that anti-social behavior affects over 20% of people's quality of life and 36% said it impacts their daily activities. Repeated anti-social behavior damages communities by reducing property values, causing residents to move away, and decreasing business in the area.
Anti-social behavior can seriously affect victims and communities. It causes fear that influences daily routines, such as avoiding certain areas, not going out at night, and worrying about safety. Surveys found that anti-social behavior affects the quality of life for many and that fear of it influences the daily activities of over a third of people. Left unchecked, anti-social behavior can damage communities by reducing quality of life, decreasing property values, and causing residents to feel withdrawn from their community.
The document discusses homelessness and health in Canada. It provides an overview of Dr. James Frankish's research interests related to homelessness, poverty, and marginalized groups. It summarizes data on the characteristics of homeless populations in Vancouver and BC, including health issues, reasons for homelessness, and needed services. It also discusses strategies for addressing homelessness, including changing public discourse, using housing to facilitate intersectoral collaboration, and specific housing and support policies.
This document discusses the prevalence of suicide and drug use globally, in Europe, and in Scotland. It notes that mental illness, especially depression and alcohol use disorders, are key risk factors for suicide. Those with substance use disorders are at much higher risk of suicide compared to the general population. The document also discusses examples of good practices for addressing co-morbidity of mental health and substance use disorders, such as joint training for staff, better communication between services, and integrated treatment pathways rather than sequential or separate treatment. It closes by opening the discussion up to questions.
Family caregiving problems of suspected elderly neglectAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that reviewed 178 autopsy cases from 2000-2003 to identify cases of suspected elder neglect in Japan. Nine cases met the criteria for suspected neglect. The victims had a mean age of 82 and lived with family members acting as caregivers. Sons were the caregiver in over half of cases. Caregivers tended to be male, unemployed, and some had conditions like depression. Victims often had issues like pressure sores or dementia requiring daily care. The study found elder parents living with sons may be a high-risk group for neglect and more family support is needed, especially for isolated male caregivers.
This document summarizes the key findings of a survey of over 1,000 LGBT people in Scotland about their experiences of inequality. It finds that most LGBT people in Scotland still face prejudice and discrimination in their daily lives, especially in rural areas, and many do not feel able to be open about their sexual orientation or gender identity with family, at work or accessing services due to fears of negative reactions. While legal and social advances have been made, much more progress is still needed to achieve equality and end the disadvantages LGBT people experience.
This document summarizes HIV/AIDS transmission trends in Russia and the United States. In Russia, high rates of intravenous drug use and unprotected sex have led to over 940,000 people living with HIV despite limited treatment availability. Street youth are particularly vulnerable, with 37.4% testing positive. In the US, over 1.1 million people have HIV, primarily spread through sexual behavior. New prevention methods like PrEP drugs and greater access to antiretroviral therapy have helped control the epidemic. Social stigmas and a lack of education continue to hamper prevention efforts in both countries.
Yusuf Chambers - An Analysis of Modern Day Britainierauk
If we look at our society today, we clearly see a decline that corresponds with a growing lack of morality or even a common one that we can all accept.
As a society, we are not working together and all the social indicators and statistics that are presented in this talk show that British Society is collapsing around us.
Social indicators like the rise in Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), vicious dog attacks, gun crime, growing debt, depression, suicide are all pointing in on direction - to destruction. That is unless we as a community make a change.
Yusuf Chambers then looks at the example of Islamic Spain, a multicultural, multi ethnic society that our very own British society is based upon. What is the common denominator that is mission - God, or Allah in Arabic.
Today's modern society has done away with the God and that ultimate designer and creator has now been subjugated by His creation.
Where is the positive engagement from the Christian and Jewish societies? The statistics show that the Churches and Synagogues are growing emptier year on year.
When are we the Islamic Community in Britian going? Our Mosques are still full but for how long?

Social Drivers of the HIV and AIDS Epidemic_EkpoCORE Group
The assessment sought to understand the drivers of HIV among public sector workers in Uganda. It found that key drivers included having multiple sexual partners, especially among male immigration workers, limited condom use, risk perception and non-disclosure of HIV status. Transactional and cross-generational sex were also drivers. Alcohol and drug use enabled risky sexual behavior. Unique challenges for this group included staff transfers separating families and poor housing conditions requiring co-habitation. Tailored interventions are needed addressing these social drivers and challenges.

Presentation by: Otilia Mårdh
Presented at: IUSTI 2019, Tallinn
The document summarizes data from a point-in-time count of homelessness in the Richmond region on January 29, 2009. A total of 1014 adults and 136 children were counted as homeless, with 184 unsheltered adults. Surveys from 692 adults provided further details: most were single, never married males with an average age of 44.4. Over half had a high school education or less. 17.8% were veterans and over 70% had served time in jail or prison. The most commonly reported challenges were problems with substance abuse (51.5%) and alcohol (45.7%), as well as mental health issues (30.7%).
This document discusses migrant sex workers in the UK. It defines migrant sex workers and explains that they can fall into legal, irregular, or illegal categories depending on their immigration status. It provides a brief history of migrant sex workers in the UK over the past 30 years and how their nationalities have changed. It then discusses some of the challenges migrant sex workers face, such as lack of local knowledge, isolation from family, increased health risks, and language barriers. Finally, it highlights key challenges in service delivery for this group, including their transience, increased legislation targeting the sex industry, and effects of discrimination.
A survey of 920 homeless adults and 153 homeless children in Richmond, Virginia found the following: Most were single African American males around 43 years old, with over half having only a high school education or less. Over 70% had served time in jail or prison, with over 60% having felony convictions. Approximately one-third had experienced domestic violence or had a disability, mental health problem, or substance abuse issue. Slightly over half had lived in Richmond for 5 years or more.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice that affects millions of girls worldwide and in the UK. While FGM is illegal in the UK, thousands of girls are still at risk of undergoing the procedure each year. Current UK policy has failed to prevent FGM or prosecute perpetrators due to a lack of enforcement and education initiatives, and an overreliance on legislation alone. Comprehensive reform is needed that includes prevention programs, victim support services, and a more humanitarian approach to asylum cases involving threats of FGM.

The program takes a flexible, person-centered approach to support, allowing clients to maintain their housing even if continuing substance use, and focusing on harm reduction through peer support workers with lived experience. Evaluation found half of clients experienced positive changes to their substance use through the stability of housing and personalized support.

Passengers who request name modification after the risk-free period have to pay the United Airlines name change fee. Furthermore, in some cases, travelers have to pay the difference in fare if applicable. The airline doesn’t permit you to make other modifications (date change, fare classes, time, etc) under the name correction policy. Moreover, before you proceed, you must get all related information comprehensively. For that, you can call the consolidation desk at +1-800-865-1848 and get instant response.
With the American Airlines name change policy, you can alter the incorrect name on your flight ticket/boarding pass without any fuss. Therefore, it’s essential to understand the major guidelines before requesting a name change/correction. However, if you still encounter any issues, you can navigate to the AA website or approach the airline over the phone. Additionally, you can talk with a flight expert at +1-866-738-0741 to get your problem fixed in a few minutes.

1. Homeless Migrants’ Needs: The
Risks of Destitution
Presentation to European Research
Conference, Suzanne Fitzpatrick,
16th September 2011
2. Destitute migrants in EU
EC study to examine the interaction between
welfare regimes and housing systems in:
Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal,
Sweden and the UK
1. What is the impact of the welfare regime +
housing system on the nature and causes of
homelessness?
2. How effective are responses to homelessness,
and what might Member States learn from each
other?
3. Vignette on ‘single male
migrant who loses casual
work and has rent arrears ’
Varies between countries: major issue in UK, Netherlands and
Germany; less so in Sweden; declining issue in Portugal; not at
all in Hungary
Legal status all important: CEE homeless migrants key concern
- have little welfare protection, especially in Netherlands and
UK; in Germany access to homeless accommodation (with
residence permit); in Sweden access to social assistance (with
residence permit)
Economic downturn has hit vulnerable migrants very hard; on
margins of both labour market (informal economy) and housing
markets (tenuous forms of accommodation)
4. Policy implications of EU
study
CEE migrants a growing concern, but also refused
asylum seekers and undocumented migrants
Stark choice: ‘Get work or go home’; back to work
and reconnection schemes
Reliance on charities/churches
Complex legal and policy arrangements – some
countries/cities seem to cope better than others
Priority should be given to preventing destitution
amongst vulnerable migrants; Consensus
Conference; new EC study on ‘Mobility, Migration
and Destitution’
5. Multiple exclusion
homelessness in the UK
Statistically representative survey of users of ‘low
threshold’ homelessness, drugs and other
services in seven cities across UK
1,286 survey responses from all users of these
services
452 extended interviews with service users who
had experienced MEH: ‘homelessness’ + at least
one of ‘institutional care’, ‘substance misuse’ or
'street culture activities’
6. Migrants in the MEH
population
17% of all MEH interviewees migrated to the UK
as an adult; 41% of interviewees in Westminster
(London)
Specific migrant groups:
Central and Eastern European (CCE): 7%
Former asylum seekers (refugee status or leave
to remain) – 3%
Current asylum seekers – 1%
Undocumented migrants – 4%
7. A profile of migrants in the
MEH population
On average, they migrated to the UK aged 30
One fifth were UK citizens by point of
interview
78% were male (similar to non-migrants)
Younger than non-migrants on average (90%
were under 50)
Tended to have left school later and to have
more qualifications than non-migrants
