This book meets both the expectation of descriptive information as well as comprehensive analysis by statistical means and on the background of practical as well as theoretical concerns. The policy implications of the results are eminent. The comparative design is of exemplary importance for health and social science. The book is of interest for public health, health professionals, health policymakers, psychologists, social scientists and political representatives from the community up to the European level.

Health and Well-being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent work and Inequalities: The contribution of psychology in achieving the objectives of the Agenda 2030
Author: Paola MagnanoPublisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832544355
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
The United Nations 2030 Agenda has defined 17 goals to promote sustainable development on a global scale; it's based on five critical dimensions, known as the 5Ps: people, prosperity, planet, partnership, and peace. Many of the goals can be connected to psychology or educational sciences, for example improving health and well-being (SDG3), ensuring quality education (SDG4), promoting gender equality (SDG5) and decent work (SDG8), and reducing inequality (SDG10). This means that researchers in the field of psychology or related sciences can give substantial contributions to support the achievement of the goals of Agenda 2030. Research on the contribution of psychology and educational sciences in achieving these goals should be encouraged.
The Context of Medicines in Developing Countries
Author: Sjaak van der GeestPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400927134
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
Western pharmaceuticals are flooding the Third World. Injections, capsules and tablets are available in city markets and village shops, from 'traditional' practitioners and street vendors, as well as from more orthodox sources like hospitals. Although many are aware of this 'pharmaceutical invasion', little has been written about how local people perceive and use these products. This book is a first attempt to remedy that situation. It presents studies of the ways Western medicines are circulated and understood in the cities and rural areas of Africa, Asia and Latin America. We feel that such a collection is long overdue for two reasons. The first is a practical one: people dealing with health problems in developing countries need information about local situations and they need examples of methods they can use to examine the particular contexts in which they are working. We hope that this book will be useful for pharmacists, doctors, nurses, health planners, policy makers and concerned citizens, who are interested in the realities of drug use. Why do people want various kinds of medicine? How do they evaluate and choose them and how do they obtain them? The second reason for these studies of medicines is to fill a need in medical anthropology as a field of study. Here we address our colleagues in anthropol ogy, medical sociology and related disciplines.
