Car-sharing means that a number of persons share the use of one or more cars. Use of a car is booked beforehand, the user paying a fee based on the distance driven and the length of time the car was made use of. Although this is similar in some ways to traditional car rental, it differs in the possibility it provides of booking a car for short periods of time and in the rental agreement being made for an extended period of time, rather than each time a car is used. In addition, each household has its own set...

Three questionnaires were used for the 2010 RDHS: the Household Questionnaire, the Women’s Questionnaire, and the Men’s Questionnaire. These questionnaires are based on questionnaires developed by the worldwide Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) program and on the questionnaires used during the 2005 RDHS and 2007-08 RIDHS surveys. To reflect relevant issues in population and health in Rwanda, the questionnaires were adapted during a series of technical meetings with various stakeholders from government ministries and agencies, non-governmental organizations and international donors.

Having already forged relationships with numerous Romanian celebrities for other accounts, Roberts was able to convince a number of them to join forces and write a song on the subject of HIV/AIDS. The song quickly became a national hit. Simultaneously, Roberts and Holscher sent a corps of peer educators dubbed the “Love Police” onto the beaches of the Black Sea to approach young people and issue fake “citations” to those not carrying condoms. The program created buzz and substantially decreased stigma and fear around condom use.

Almost all of the 250 MSM surveyed knew that HIV/AIDS could be contracted through sexual intercourse and 80 percent cited condoms as a way to prevent the disease, although actual use does not reflect knowledge. Many respondents reported having experienced STI-related symptoms. For example, 42 percent had had burning or penile discharge and 22 percent reported having had lesions or pustules on their anus (Table 2).

A recent review of school-based programs in developing countries (FOCUS, 2001) found strong evidence of the effectiveness of such programs in improving YRH outcomes. Seventeen of 19 school programs that had undergone relatively rigorous evaluation were effective in improving young people’s knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, including contraception and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Comprehensive sexuality education is effective in improving key youth reproductive health (YRH) behaviors. In a wide range of settings in both developed and developing nations, comprehensive school- based sexuality education has influenced important behaviors such as delaying sexual initiation, reducing the number of sexual partners, and increasing use of condoms among youth who are sexually active. This finding bodes well for Nigeria, a country with considerable linguistic and cultural diversity.

The current stabilization in the nursing workforce is a temporary development and should not be used as justification to curtail public funding for nursing education. Given the aging of the baby boomers and the expected retirement of a large segment of the nurse population, steps must be taken now to ensure that world supply of nurses is strengthened before a crisis emerges. Maintaining a viable nursing workforce will not be possible without consistent and continuing financial support for educational programs that prepare professional nurses. ...

The underlying principle of HIV/AIDS prevention education is that all people have the right to know what HIV is, how it is transmitted and how to prevent infection, and that special measures must be taken for those most vulnerable and most likely to effect change – among young people, girls especially. The majority of young people in the developing world know alarmingly little about the three primary ways to avoid infection.

Women who are financially, materially or socially dependent on men may have limited power to exercise control in relationships, such as negotiating the use of condoms during sex. Social expectations about how women should behave can place women in subordinate roles and increase their risk of being sexually assaulted, contracting STIs and having unwanted pregnancies, and also limit their access to SRH services.

As the program and concept of family planning grew more accepted, demand grew for other types of contraception, resulting in a pioneering project that used CHWs to deliver Depo Provera injections to their clients in their homes. The community-based distribution program proved so successful, it expanded from its initial three sites to 72 by the mid-1990s. Door-to-door delivery, however, is a costly and time-consuming approach to delivering family planning services. In 1991 Pathfinder’s projects in Bangladesh began to move toward a more sustainable village-based depot approach.

In the traditional region of Northern Nigeria, Pathfinder has struggled to promote the use of modern contraceptive methods to delay and space pregnancies. Traditional communities in this area generally see children as a gift from God and, assured that He will provide for their families, resist limiting their family size or spacing women’s pregnancies. Sexuality is not openly discussed, so reaching families with RH/FP information and services has been difficult.
