This document discusses strategies for using digital media and communication to promote health and social change in Africa. It notes several health challenges facing West and Central Africa, including high rates of child mortality, maternal mortality, early pregnancy, and lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. It argues that media receivers in Africa are changing and receiving messages from many sources. It proposes using an edutainment television series, radio adaptations, debates, advocacy, and online materials to discuss important issues and empower local communities to find their own solutions to health problems. The goal is to positively impact perceptions of health workers and advocate for improved access to healthcare services.

Urban Poverty And Crime
The document discusses urban poverty and crime. It addresses the urbanization of poverty, problems created by urban poor populations, and different aspects of poverty in the US, Europe, and less developed countries. It also examines the relationship between city size and crime rates, theories for high crime areas, and crimes in the UAE. Solutions discussed include governmental investment in infrastructure and people as well as increasing opportunities for poor groups.
Urbanization and Health: Oxymoron or Opportunity? - Megan Christensen
Urbanization is increasing globally, with over 50% of the world's population now living in urban areas. By 2050, 70% will live in cities. While urban settings increase access to services, rapid urban population growth in developing countries is outpacing infrastructure development and concentrating health risks. Urbanization can be a health hazard for vulnerable groups, leading to humanitarian crises if not properly managed. However, with strong community engagement, mapping vulnerable populations, developing local health systems, and focusing on sustainability, a urban health model could help address challenges and leverage opportunities of increased urbanization.
Migration – Why Do Cities Grow
Cities grow due to both push and pull factors related to migration. Key push factors driving rural to urban migration include lack of land, food, and opportunities in rural areas, as well as the pull of potential work and higher wages in cities. Migration leads to changes in birth and death rates in cities as people adopt an urban lifestyle with better access to education, healthcare, and family planning services compared to rural areas. Cities also depend on wealth inequality as migrants have a wide range of incomes and access to services.
8. slums & the metropolis
Slums are overcrowded, neglected urban areas characterized by substandard housing and squalor. They exist in most large cities around the world and are home to very poor residents living in inferior conditions. Slums lack basic infrastructure and are often plagued by disease, crime, and other issues due to overcrowding and poor sanitation. They have existed in cities throughout history in many forms.
What is urbanisation?
The document discusses urbanization, defining it as a process where an increasing proportion of the population lives in towns and cities. There are two main causes of urbanization: rural-urban migration and natural increase. Rural-urban migration occurs as people move from rural areas to cities due to push factors like lack of land and poverty in rural areas, and pull factors like employment opportunities and quality of life improvements in urban areas. Natural increase also contributes to urbanization as a high birth rate combined with improved healthcare in cities leads to urban populations growing independently of migration. The document concludes by showing which parts of the world have the highest and lowest levels of urbanization.
Urban slums
This document discusses slums in Bangladeshi cities. It notes that over 8 million people in Bangladesh live in urban slums below the poverty line. Slum dwellers live in inadequate housing without proper sanitation or access to services. The document provides data on slum populations in six major cities, noting over 10 million people or 30% live in slums often made of makeshift materials. Common issues faced by slum residents include lack of infrastructure, insecure land tenure, and health and identity issues. Causes of slums include rapid urbanization, lack of planning, poverty and other economic and social factors. The document outlines some approaches to addressing slums such as slum removal, relocation, upgrading infrastructure and public housing
Urbanization and Health: Oxymoron or Opportunity? - Janine Schooley
The document discusses rapid urbanization trends and challenges. By 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in urban areas, with megacities of over 10 million people increasing from 14 to 29 in the last 20 years. Challenges of urbanization include changes to family structures, the rise of slums and informal settlements, difficulties providing adequate services, and increased climate and health risks. However, urbanization also brings opportunities like improved innovation, employment, and quality of life if cities deploy technology effectively. The document then describes Barrio Mio, an initiative in Guatemala that uses mapping, data collection, and community partnerships to design inclusive, participatory urban plans focused on health, risk reduction, and empowerment
Slum definitions
The document defines slums according to various sources such as the UN Habitat and Britannica Encyclopedia. Slums are characterized by inadequate access to water, sanitation, substandard housing quality, overcrowding, and insecure residency status. They tend to have high poverty and unemployment rates. The growth of slums is driven by urbanization, industrialization, and rural-to-urban migration as people seek opportunities in cities. However, the inadequate housing supply and lack of basic services and infrastructure in urban areas leads to the formation of slums. The document also provides statistics on slum populations in India and the state of Madhya Pradesh. It outlines government policies and programs to address urban poverty and slums.

Urbanization grade 8
Urbanization is defined as an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas compared to rural areas. The most common type of migration today is from rural to urban areas. There are several push and pull factors that influence migration patterns. Push factors in rural areas include difficult climates, low incomes, and small land plots, while pull factors in cities are the chance of better jobs, housing, education, and healthcare. Once in cities, natural increases from high birth rates and declining death rates further boost urban populations.

The document is about poverty in India. It begins by thanking those who supported the completion of a school project on time, including a teacher who provided guidance. It then outlines the contents of the project, which discusses definitions of poverty and poverty line, social exclusion, vulnerability, inter-state disparities, global poverty, causes of poverty in India, and anti-poverty programs by the government.
Urban Poor Families
The document summarizes information about urban poor families in 3 sections. It begins by defining urban areas and the urbanization process. It then discusses who the poor are, noting they often lack basic needs, assets, opportunities, and access to services. The third section defines urban poor families as those living in cities whose income falls below the poverty line. It lists common problems as lack of decent housing, insufficient services, lack of jobs, and spread of diseases. Common occupations include sidewalk vending, scavenging, and driving. Frequent illnesses include dengue, sexually transmitted diseases, diarrhea, and food poisoning.
Concept defining 'Slum as Condition'.
Slums are areas of inadequate and substandard housing where urban poor live, characterized by overcrowding and lack of infrastructure. They demonstrate multiple deprivations like uncertain employment, inadequate access to necessities. Urban poor experience poverty in aspects like inadequate income, assets, shelter, infrastructure, services and protection of rights. Lack of access to water and sanitation reinforces inequality and health issues. The urban poor are forced to live on marginal land and informal settlements with threat of eviction, making them vulnerable to external shocks.
Poverty report
The document defines poverty and discusses different theories of its causes. It provides data on poverty levels across Philippine regions as of 2012, with ARMM and Region 8 having the highest rates at 6950.9% and 5932.8%, respectively. The document also notes that over 25% of the Philippine population fell below the poverty line in the first half of 2014, with ARMM provinces ranging from 42-47% and Lanao del Sur having the highest rate at 68.9%.
Poverty In Africa
The document discusses poverty in Africa, its causes, scope, and potential solutions. It notes that political instability, wars, desertification, diseases like HIV/AIDS, and lack of access to jobs and markets are key drivers of poverty. Most extreme poverty is located in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 45-50% of people live below the poverty line, including 300 million in extreme poverty. Several organizations like NEPAD and the AU aim to address issues like HIV/AIDS and hunger. The document raises questions about governmental and educational responses to poverty in Africa.
Urbanization and Health : An Article Review
The document discusses urbanization and its effects on health. It summarizes several articles on the topic and provides perspectives from authors. Some key points are: (1) urbanization is driven by factors like job opportunities and access to services, but can strain infrastructure and increase inequality, (2) child health is often better in urban versus rural areas due to lower malnutrition and higher vaccination rates in cities, and (3) non-communicable diseases are rising in low- and middle-income countries due to diet and lifestyle changes from urbanization. The document concludes there are health threats from urbanization but also benefits from improved access to services in cities.
Women and the sustainable management of environment
Women play a vital role in environmental sustainability but often lack equal opportunities and participation in decision making. They constitute half the world's population but do two-thirds of the work and earn only one-tenth of the income, owning just one percent of property. As primary caregivers and managers of resources, women are in a unique position to improve human and economic well-being but their needs are often not prioritized, denying them equal access to education, healthcare, land, and political power. Without opportunities for education and economic self-sufficiency, many women remain trapped in poverty, posing barriers to environmental sustainability.
POOR AND RICH
Poor and Rich - The Facts
DEFINING POVERTY...
Absolute poverty is defined according to an absolute minimum standard, often called the ‘poverty line’. Relative poverty means that you are poor in relation to those around you. Income poverty (‘less than a dollar a day’, for example), means that you are poor if you have less money than the defined poverty line for your country. Human poverty takes into account other factors, such as life expectancy, infant malnutrition, illiteracy and lack of food or clean water. Basic needs definitions also go beyond money, to include all the things that a person needs in order to survive – including employment and participation in society.
MEASURING POVERTY...
Measuring poverty is always a problem, especially if you recognize that just using money is not enough. There are a number of new measurements emerging, like the Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare.1 This measures ‘quality’ economic activity by, for example, making a subtraction for air pollution and an addition for unpaid household labour.
Another method is the Human Poverty Index. This is ranked according to three main areas of deprivation: survival; knowledge and a decent standard of living. In the industrial world, where the Index also includes social exclusion, some 7 to 17% of the populations are classified as poor. The higher the percentage figure, the greater the poverty in that country

Urbanisation and its effect on people's health
Urbanization is increasing globally and in India, bringing both opportunities and health challenges. Unplanned urban growth can degrade the environment and strain resources. This leads to overcrowding, poor sanitation and hygiene, increased communicable and non-communicable diseases, and health inequities. The urban poor face particular health risks due to lack of access to services and living conditions in slums. India has launched initiatives like the National Urban Health Mission to address these issues through improved infrastructure, service delivery, and community participation in urban health systems. Coordinated efforts are needed across sectors and levels of government to build healthy, inclusive and resilient cities.
Slums In India
The document discusses the condition of slums in India. It defines slums as densely populated and overcrowded housing areas lacking basic amenities and sanitation. Approximately 40 million people, or 4% of India's population, live in slums. Common reasons for the growth of slums include changes in agriculture, lack of opportunities in rural areas, and the search for better economic opportunities in cities. Living conditions in slums are characterized by poverty, poor hygiene and sanitation, lack of education, and limited access to healthcare. Various government initiatives and NGOs aim to rehabilitate slum populations and improve living conditions through programs that provide basic amenities and redevelopment. Long term solutions focus on reducing rural-to-
Urbanization in the philippipines
Urbanization in the Philippines has led to over 60% of the population living in urban areas by 2010, burdening urban systems and increasing problems of poverty, healthcare access, and pollution. A key driver of urbanization is the migration of people from rural areas seeking better access to facilities, jobs, and education in cities. However, urban areas now struggle to provide adequate housing, infrastructure, and services for the growing populations. If current trends continue, the Philippines is estimated to have over 600 urban centers by 2020.

Poverty is a well known correlate of medicine. In this presentation, delivered to the Family Medicine residents at UT Southwestern School of Medicine, we explore the origins of our definitions of poverty and the role it plays in health in Dallas County, Texas.
SLUMS - The Marginalised Mass
Slums are densely populated informal settlements that lack basic amenities and sanitation. They form due to poverty, lack of opportunities in rural areas, unemployment, and improper government policies. Slums face many problems like lack of hygiene, malnutrition, child abuse, and crime. Around 40 million people in India, or 4% of the population, live in slums, including 5 million children under age 6. Various government initiatives and NGOs aim to rehabilitate slums and provide basic services through programs like JNNURM and SRA. The long term goal is to reduce rural-to-urban migration by improving opportunities and living standards in rural India.

The document discusses aging populations in disadvantaged urban areas, using Manchester, England as a case study. Manchester has an aging population due to economic decline in the 1970s-1980s. Its aging population faces higher rates of poverty, illness, and disability than other areas. Initiatives in Manchester aim to make it a more age-friendly city and address inequalities faced by older residents, through programs focused on health, social activities, community involvement, and mainstreaming aging issues. The Manchester approach coordinates local networks and partnerships across sectors to improve quality of life for older citizens.

This document summarizes the findings of the Turnaway Study, a longitudinal study that examined the consequences of receiving or being denied a wanted abortion. Key findings include:
1) The study found no evidence that having a first-trimester abortion negatively impacts mental health, as depression and anxiety symptom trajectories were similar between women who received abortions and those denied them.
2) Women denied wanted abortions experienced slightly elevated short-term risks of anxiety and low self-esteem compared to those receiving abortions.
3) The majority of women felt relief or happiness after their abortions and felt it was the right decision, though some experienced negative emotions in the short-term.
4) Financial difficulties were

This document discusses several policies and legislative efforts related to addressing sexual assault in the military. It provides background on "zero tolerance" policies established in the 1990s, and reviews current legislation like the Military Justice Improvement Act and Ruth Moore Act, which aim to improve support for victims and balance their rights with those accused. It also discusses comments from military leaders acknowledging issues and the need for continued reform. Finally, it reviews research on pregnancy resulting from rape and considerations for victims, as well as barriers to access to abortion services for those in the military.
Maposhere lecture 9-30-15
This document outlines Caroline Maposhere's work advocating for LGBTI rights in Southern Africa. It discusses the legal criminalization of same-sex relations in many countries, which creates barriers to healthcare access and stigma. Community dialogues and human sexuality education sessions were used to raise awareness and address misconceptions. Key topics included the impact of criminalization on health, barriers like discrimination from providers, and training journalists, leaders, and LGBTI communities themselves. The conclusion recognizes that LGBTI people have always existed in Africa but are often denied and overlooked, and that advocacy must be conducted sensitively using appropriate approaches.
Walsh lori
This scenario describes a sexual assault that occurred in a workplace. A chief rubbed her breasts against a sailor who was trying to move away, wedging him between a wall and desk. Witnesses were shocked or laughed. The victim was visibly shaken. When the chief saw a witness's horrified reaction, she laughed rather than showing concern for violating boundaries. This was clearly nonconsensual unwanted sexual contact that created a hostile environment.

This document discusses the health challenges faced by women in prisons globally and in the United States. It outlines issues such as overcrowding, lack of medical care, and reproductive health challenges. The World Health Organization advocates for a gender-sensitive criminal justice system that meets women's unique health needs. This includes specialized healthcare, especially around mental health, substance abuse, and reproductive health. Continuity of care after release is also emphasized to support successful reintegration. Current reform efforts in California aim to address these issues through initiatives focused on healthcare access, advocacy, and reducing overcrowding.

Barriers to Reproductive Health in Post-Communist RomaniaThe Bixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health
This document discusses barriers to reproductive health in post-communist Romania. It provides background information on Romania's demographics, economy, and healthcare system. Under socialism from 1957-1989, the government viewed women as economic or reproductive resources and restricted access to contraception and abortion. This led to high rates of unsafe, illegal abortion and maternal mortality. Since 1989, abortion rates have declined but modern contraceptive use remains low. Barriers to improving reproductive health include inadequate resources, inefficient procurement, limited access in rural areas, and limited sexual education. The document recommends improving access to family planning services, education, and targeting resources to increase reproductive autonomy and health.Reproductive Health Issues in Asia and the Pacific: Old Challenges, New Strat...

This document outlines the introduction and promotion of the female condom in Southern Africa. It discusses the high HIV rates driven by factors like low condom use, multiple partnerships, and gender inequality. It then details how acceptability studies in Zimbabwe showed the female condom was viewed positively by sex workers and others for allowing female control and sensation. Advocacy efforts led to its registration in 1998 and social marketing campaigns. Lessons learned include the need for assertive women's training, engaging women's groups, and addressing gender and cultural norms to increase uptake for women's benefit.

Sam Coley - Practice-based research
This document summarizes a research project examining public service announcements produced by the BBC World Service Trust in Ethiopia from 2006-2007. The project aimed to promote sexual health among Ethiopian youth using radio programs. The research investigated production methods and the application of Western advertising techniques in a developing country context. Interviews were conducted with project staff and focus groups discussed reactions to different radio spots. The responses suggested the messages were generally clear but some content may have been seen as offensive. Overall reception of the radio programs was mixed due to the politicized environment and distrust of state-run radio.
Media Worldviews
The document discusses the influence of media on society and worldviews. It notes that television, music, and the internet account for thousands of hours of input compared to just a few hours spent in church. Heavy TV viewers tend to overestimate risks and underestimate prosocial behaviors. Most studies find a connection between media violence exposure and increased aggression in children. The document advocates developing discernment in media consumption and adopting a biblical worldview centered on righteousness, purity, and excellence.

This document summarizes self-care initiatives for sexual and reproductive health. It discusses the WHO definition of self-care, and examples like the Caya diaphragm introduced in Niger through the EECO project. Over 600 diaphragm kits were sold or distributed there from 2019-2020. The DOT app was marketed in India to help women track their periods and fertility. Looking ahead, more evidence is still needed on specific self-care interventions and how to evaluate them, while building advocacy and addressing regulatory questions. COVID-19 also impacts future self-care work.
Student-Assessed Sex Education Standards
- The SASS Project aimed to assess how well California high schools complied with the California Healthy Youth Act (CHYA) standards for comprehensive sex education, from the perspective of students.
- Students at 13 LAUSD high schools completed an anonymous online survey assessing their sex ed classes' coverage of CHYA standards and classroom environment.
- Results showed a range of compliance across schools, with strongest coverage of HIV topics and weakest coverage of gender/sexuality and contraception. Classroom environment also varied, with teachers generally comfortable but time limited.
- The findings could help identify areas of improvement, but LAUSD had not yet decided to formally incorporate the student surveys or provide feedback to schools.

The Inexplicable Persistence of EFM – Is the Law to Blame?The Bixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health
This document discusses the persistence of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) despite evidence that it does not improve neonatal outcomes for low-risk pregnancies compared to intermittent auscultation. While EFM was introduced to screen for fetal distress and reduce cerebral palsy rates, multiple studies have found it does not achieve these goals. However, EFM continues to be used in 85% of deliveries and has led to increased cesarean rates and costs without clear benefits. The document examines possible explanations for EFM's persistence, including the influence of law and economics, and calls for more randomized trials before new medical technologies are widely adopted.Papp green melissa-02232020

This document provides information about the Durbar intervention for HIV prevention among sex workers in Kolkata, India. It summarizes the evolution of the intervention over time from community mapping and advocacy in 1991 to establishing community organizations and microfinance opportunities for sex workers in 1995. Key aspects of the intervention included community mobilization, empowerment training, peer health workers, and addressing structural barriers faced by sex workers. The document also summarizes a replication study conducted by UCLA which found that the Durbar intervention was successful in increasing condom use and empowerment outcomes among sex workers compared to standard STI clinic care alone. Factors like education level, employment status, and age predicted which sex workers benefited most from the additional community structural intervention components.Understanding HPV vaccine hesitancy from a cultural and social perspective: ...

This document provides an overview of challenges in implementing sexual and reproductive health rights in Southern Africa, using examples from Botswana, South Africa, and Eswatini. It discusses how international law establishes these rights but they still face challenges in practice. Key issues include lack of legal protections, socio-cultural norms that discriminate against women, and lack of resources. While countries have laws incorporating international standards, discrimination and harmful practices still undermine equal access to healthcare and decision making. Ensuring sexual and reproductive rights requires addressing both legal frameworks and social attitudes.Introduction to Judge Dingake lecture 4 feb 2019

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
