Элементы данных о здоровье пациентов: разработка модели данных о предпочтенном-сенситивном состоянии.

Данные о состоянии здоровья пациентов (PHD) относятся к данным, получаемым пациентами или от них. Чаще всего PGHD носит устный и письменный характер, но сегодня он становится все более цифровым.

Art-based reflections from 12 years of adolescent health and development-related research in South Africa.

This paper presents empirical and methodological findings from an art-based, participatory process with a group (n = 16) of adolescent and young advisors in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. In a weekend workshop, participants reflected on their participation in 12 years of health and development-related research through theatre, song, visual methodologies and semi-structured interviews.

Through song, theatre and a mural ill…

"We Don't Want to Live Like This": The Lived Experience of Dislocation, Poor Health, and Homelessness for Western Australian Aboriginal People.

Many policy interventions have attempted to address the entrenched disadvantage of Aboriginal Australians1; however, sustained improvement in social, cultural, physical, and emotional well-being is not evident.

Freedom to read: A personal account of the 'book famine'.

Even in the digital age, access to literature and other information for people with print impairments remains extremely poor, especially in the developing world. Reading access holds cascading implications for education, economic empowerment, social participation and self-worth. In June 2013 member states of WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organization) concluded a landmark treaty to reduce copyright impediments to the dissemination of literature to print impaired people. Its effectiveness is not yet clear. Meanwhile, critics hold that disability studies' analyses have too often lacked i…

Challenges, strategies, and lessons learned from a participatory community intervention study to promote female condoms among rural sex workers in Southern China.

Drawing on sociological theories of tokenism, institutional non-performativity, and intersectionality, this article proposes "recognition without authority" as an analytic category for evaluating gender-f…
