▼ This thesis examines how social inequality and migration influence health in Mexico, a country that is experiencing rapid economic, social, and health transitions. In the first chapter, I investigate socioeconomic differentials in an increasingly important facet of adolescent health, obesity. Three questions are addressed. First, what is the social patterning of obesity among Mexican adolescents? Second, what are the separate and joint associations of maternal and paternal education with adolescent obesity net of household wealth? Third, are there differences in socioeconomic status (SES) gradients among Mexican boys and girls, rural residents and urban residents? I find that household wealth is positively associated with adolescent obesity, whereas the effects of parental education on adolescent obesity risk are mixed. The second and third chapters make use of recently gathered health data from the Mexican Migration Project. Over the course of the 20th century, Mexico-U.S. migration emerged as an important phenomenon for both countries. Although the health of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. has been well studied, less is known about the health of returned migrants to Mexico. Thus, the objectives of the second chapter are twofold. Relying on health information pertaining to two stages of the life course, I aim to assess disparities in adult health status between male returned migrants and male non-migrants in Mexico, accounting for their potentially different early life health profiles. While I find evidence that returned migrants had more favorable early life health, they have a higher prevalence of heart disease, emotional/psychiatric disorders, obesity, and smoking than non-migrants. In the third chapter I examine the health impacts of having a migrant husband among Mexican women. My analysis makes three important contributions. I investigate how the timing of a husband's migration relative to union formation influences health by distinguishing between three categories of women: women whose husbands migrated to the U.S. after the union began, women whose husbands migrated to the U.S. and returned before the union began, and women whose husbands did not migrate to the U.S. In contrast to earlier work, I examine these questions using a larger sample across 14 communities in five Mexican states. A final contribution is that I explore the impacts of a husband's migration on a wider range of health conditions and behaviors. I find that despite having similar initial health endowments, the wives of migrants have poorer mental health, a higher prevalence of heart disease, and they are more likely to be obese or overweight than the wives of non-migrants.

▼ Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) causes 5% of all strokes and is responsible for about 18,000 deaths per year in the United States (Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, 2008). The incidence of SAH has been estimated at 6 to 8 per 100,000 persons per year (Linn, Rinkel, Algra, & van Gijn, 1996). In nearly 15% (range 5–34%) of patients with SAH, no source of hemorrhage can be identified via four-vessel cerebral angiography (Alen et al., 2003; Gupta et al., 2009), resulting in two major types of SAH: aneurysmal (ASAH) and nonaneurysmal (NASAH). Anecdotal evidence and contradictory research suggest that patients with NASAH experience some of the same health-related quality of life (HRQOL) issues as patients with ASAH. The purpose of this quantitative survey design study was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) 1 to 3 years post-hemorrhage in patients who have experienced a NASAH to those who have experienced an ASAH. This is the first US study to specifically investigate HRQOL in NASAH and the second study comparing HRQOL outcomes between aneurysmal and nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. Our results are comparable to the first study by Hutter and Gilsbach, (1995), which also found that the two groups are much more similar than different. There were no significant differences between 28 of the 36 demographic and clinical characteristics examined in this study. Our study confirms previous findings that there is a significant impact on employment for both hemorrhage groups and an even greater inability to return to work for the NASAH patients. The nonaneurysmal group had more physical symptom complaints while the aneurysmal group had more emotional symptoms. Lastly, both groups had low levels of PTSD, and these levels did not differ significantly between groups. However, PTSD and social support were shown by regression analysis to impact HRQOL for both groups. We recommend that clinicians assess for PTSD in all subarachnoid hemorrhage patients and institute treatment early, which will decrease the negative effects on HRQOL. This may include offering psychological services or social work early in the hospital course to all SAH patients. Further research and policy changes are needed to assist in interventions that improve vocational reintegration after SAH. NASAH patients should no longer be referred to as having suffered a “benign hemorrhage.” They have had a life changing hemorrhage that may forever change their lives and impact their HRQOL.

▼ Because ethnic minorities continue to experience health inequities in America, the powerful social forces that help determine our health become all the more relevant to explore. Within this social context, an often overlooked factor is the role that religiosity plays in influencing health. This investigation explored the relationships among religiosity, health, and ethnicity. Primary aims were to specify the change that has occurred over time in religiosity, health, and socio-demographic variables and to determine whether religiosity has a unique influence on health for each ethnic group. The General Social Survey, a large, nationally representative dataset was utilized. Comparisons of correlations (among health, religiosity, and socioeconomic variables) across time revealed that in general, the relationship between religious attendance and health has strengthened, the relationship between education and health has weakened, and the relationships between socioeconomic variables and religiosity have strengthened. Particularly for ethnic minorities, socioeconomic factors have become stronger predictors of religiosity over time. Analyses of covariance of religious attendance and health were conducted separately. Main effects of ethnicity, age, gender and era were highly significant for both dependent variables. For religious attendance, all possible two-way interactions among ethnicity, age, gender, and era were significant as well. For example, ethnic differences in attendance were greater for middle age than for younger adults, were greater for women than for men, and were greater in the recent era than in the previous era. For subjective health, the two-way interactions of ethnicity by age, ethnicity by gender, ethnicity by era, and the three-way interaction of era by ethnicity by age were all significant. Most striking was the greater decline over eras in health of Latinos relative to that of other groups. Finally, the relationship between religiosity and health did not prove to differ significantly across ethnic groups; Although ethnic minorities are strongly religiously committed, the impact of religiosity on health is not stronger/more beneficial for ethnic minorities than for non-Latino Whites. In conclusion, the interplay among religiosity, health, and ethnicity is complex and ever evolving. Advisors/Committee Members: Delaney, Harold, Smith, Bruce, Verney, Steven.

▼ In light of the recent national roll out of the Affordable Care Act, which expands health insurance coverage to many Americans, we sought to evaluate the relationship between health insurance status and subjective social status among residents of Hawaii. Cross-sectional data from 738 residents of Hawaii were collected from nine community sites on the island of Hawaii via a verbally administered survey. This survey collected data about demographics, what the greatest health and social concerns are in Hawaii, and what the greatest strengths are of Hawaiian society. Participants were also asked to place themselves on a 10-rung ladder to assess their subjective social status, using the MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status. Frequencies and percents were calculated to describe perceived health and social problems. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the association between SSS (the dependent variable) and the primary independent variable (insurance status). Covariates were assessed using Student's t-test (ladder rank of SSS was normally distributed) or Chi-square test and included in the linear model if they were statistically related to the dependent or primary independent variable at p<.10 or found to be variables associated with SSS in the literature. In the final linear regression model, individuals with private insurance viewed themselves as higher on the ladder compared to those with Medicaid/Quest after controlling for age, education, and ethnicity. Those with greater than a high school degree also placed themselves significantly higher on the SSS ladder than those with a high school degree or less after controlling for health insurance, ethnicity, and age. Respondents between the ages of 27-64 years were lower on the SSS ladder than those 65 years or older after controlling for health insurance, ethnicity, and education. Future work should be done to evaluate what other variables affect subjective social status so that we can have a more robust understanding of how social capital influences the health of individuals within their communities.

▼ There is a tremendous discrepancy between the number of people likely meeting criteria for a mental disorder or substance dependence in Canada and the number of people actually receiving mental health or substance dependence treatment. Thus, it is important to examine what facilitates entrance into the mental health care system and what prevents people from receiving the treatment they need. Mixed findings exist as to whether socioeconomic status (SES) and other social determinants of health play a role in receiving treatment in Canada. However, due to several methodological issues with previous studies that have examined this issue, three studies were designed to re-examine and add to the literature in this area by investigating: (1) whether SES (i.e., income and education) and other social determinants as well as psychological distress predict the number of services received by any professional for any mental disorder or substance dependence, as well as predict overall satisfaction with the services received (2) the psychometric validity and reliability of the 3-factor model proposed by Statistics Canada to measure barriers due to accessibility, acceptability and availability, and (3) whether SES, other social determinants and psychological distress predict specific barriers to receiving mental health treatment for an unmet need. All data were obtained from the Canadian Community Health Survey, cycle 1.2, Mental Health and Wellbeing. In Study 1, the SES/social determinants model predicted the number of services received for both medication and psychotherapy. Out-of-pocket spending, was the strongest predictor of the number of consultations from any provider, however it was also inversely related to overall satisfaction with services. Higher levels of distress predicted greater dissatisfaction with services received. Study 2 revealed that the three factor model of accessibility, acceptability and availability was invalid and unreliable as a measure of barriers to mental health services. It is, therefore, recommended that each specific barrier be treated as an independent causal indicator of an index measuring overall accessibility to mental health services. Finally, in Study 3, when examining each barrier independently, both education and income played important roles in recognizing there was a problem, seeking services, and actually accessing the services needed. Other social determinants also played important roles which differed depending on the type of barrier being examined. The results of the three dissertation studies indicate a clear relation between SES, other social determinants and psychological distress, and accessibility and barriers to mental health services in Canada for those suffering any mental disorder or issue related to substance dependence. The findings have significant implications in terms of potential policy implications, recommendations for the design of future national level surveys, and recommendations for future research on this topic.

▼ It is common to find farm schools some distance from the villages where learners reside, and in most cases these do not look good from the outside and are normally not given as much support as they should get. There are many challenges facing educators who are teaching learners in farm schools. Some of the problems emanate from home, including the socia-economic status and parental involvement. Other problems are as a result of the environmental conditions, including a lack of basic services like water, electricity and others. The education system is believed to be failing farm school learners in a way when it comes to issues like a lack of teaching or learning aids, a lack of a referral system, a lack in high schools, a lack of funding, managing and controlling the feeding scheme. At times some additional problems are caused by the learners themselves, including latecoming, absenteeism, a high drop-out rate, teenage pregnancy and vandalism. The bad road conditions and the fact that learners have to walk long distances to school, also impact negatively on the learners. Educators in farm schools feel that they are over-burdened in their task of teaching because of issues like multi-grade classes, too much administration, and lack of support from the department and the parents, as well as financial constraints. The above factors cause much frustration in the teaching profession and educators become drained and experience serious fatigue, which impacts negatively on their work. The aim of this study is to investigate the general perceptions of educators about the health status of farm schools. To attain this aim, the study had following specific objective: To determine the perceptions of educators about the health status of farm schools. A qualitative research design was considered to be the most appropriate for gaining in depth insight into the educators' perceptions about the health status of farm schools. Data was collected through phenomenological semi-structured interviews and direct observations. This data was then organised into categories and subcategories, and direct quotations were presented verbatim. Research findings were compared to the relevant literature to identify existing information and possible differences, and the findings were then recorded The study showed that there are many barriers in farm schools that hinder the smooth running the of school, in other words the learning and teaching. It is necessary to eliminate these barriers where possible, and to minimise and control the barriers that can be detrimental to the health status of farm schools. Findings from this research were classified according to the following main categories: • Difficult working conditions experienced by educators in the classroom. • Poor socio-economic status of learners. • Lack of support to learners from outside the school. • Dissatisfaction with the Department of Education's management. Lack of transport and bad road conditions on the way to school. • The adverse effect of the status quo on…

▼ Background/Project Description: There is a growing interest in the contribution of late preterm (34 – 36 week gestational age (GA)) birth to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Late preterm infants have an increased incidence of both respiratory and non- respiratory complications over the first year of life. Rates of prematurity as well as morbidity/mortality in infancy are higher in lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups but how GA and SES interact is relatively unexplored. Methods/Participant Population: A retrospective cohort study was undertaken utilizing anonymized data housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP). A population-based cohort of infants born at 34 to 41 weeks of GA was assembled; individual and area-level income information was used to develop SES groups. Outcomes studied included diagnoses received during the birth hospitalisation, neonatal and post-neonatal admissions. Regression models were constructed to explore the effects of GA and SES as well as control for multiple perinatal variables. Appropriate approvals and safeguards for data privacy were maintained. Results: GA and SES exerted a gradient effect on morbidity, which persisted after controlling for multiple confounding variables. The effect of GA was strongest during the birth hospitalisation but persisted throughout the first year with increased morbidity evident with each week of decreasing GA. The detrimental association of low SES with morbidity increased in effect size throughout the first year surpassing that of GA for post-neonatal admissions. An interaction effect of maternal diabetes, respiratory morbidity and SES was suggested and merits further investigation. Neonatal stays of 3 days or longer negated the association of GA with readmission within the first 28 days; in addition shorter stay infants had the highest risks of readmission at 37 weeks as compared to the late preterm gestations. Conclusions: The consistent associations between poverty, prematurity and morbidity require both further study and attention. Attention to the neonatal health of both late preterm and term infants is important due to their large numbers and population impact. The added risk of poverty merits urgent and multifaceted interventions to lay the groundwork for healthy childhood and long-term success.

▼ Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in children. However, little is known about how socioeconomic status (SES) influences the outcomes of children diagnosed with ALL. The goal of the research study was to understand how SES impacted the outcomes of children diagnosed with ALL, with a particular interest in children living in West Michigan. Children ages 0-14 years who received treatment for ALL at Spectrum Health’s Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Hematology and Oncology program between the years 2002-2011 were considered for this study. Eligible participant’s zip codes and dates of relapse/death were obtained through retrospective chart reviews to investigate the association of interest. Zip codes were utilized to create neighborhood SES scores based on census data related to education, occupation, and household income. Time to relapse/death was determined to calculate five-year event-free survival. Differences in survival across socioeconomic tertiles were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, with Coxproportional hazard regression conducted to describe the association between all collected variables. Statistical analyses revealed that children of higher socioeconomic standing were shown to have an increased risk of relapse or death compared to children of lower socioeconomic standing, however these findings did not show a statistically significant difference between the neighborhood socioeconomic tertiles. Although previous research has shown that those of higher SES tend to have better overall health and better health outcomes, compared to those of lower SES, this research study suggests that these differences may not always occur as expected. Decreased exposure to early childhood infectious agents by way of improved hygiene and changes in childcare may explain why children of higher socioeconomic may be at greater risk of poor health outcomes compared to those of lower socioeconomic standing. These findings may also indicate that differences in outcomes between various socioeconomic groups may have diminished over the period of interest through the use of better health communication and health services.

▼ Hearing impairment contributes significantly to the global burden of disabilities and has reported to be a prevalent disability in South Africa. The hearing impaired population has been associated with low levels of oral health due to numerous factors concomitant with reduced oral health care and knowledge. This predisposes these persons to oral disease including periodontal disease. Aim: To determine the prevalence of periodontal disease and the associated factors in adults with hearing impairment in designated facilities in the Western Cape, South Africa. Objectives: 1. To determine the oral health care practices in adults with hearing impairment. 2. To determine oral health knowledge of adults with hearing impairment. 3. To determine the frequency of dental visits of adults with hearing impairment and identify any associated barriers. 4. To determine the prevalence of periodontal disease in adults with hearing impairment in designated facilities in the Western Cape, South Africa. 5. To determine the relationship between the prevalence of periodontal disease and associated factors including; sociodemographic factors, oral health care practices, oral health knowledge and frequency of dental visits in adults with hearing impairment. Methodology: A quantitative, analytical cross-sectional study design was employed. A research questionnaire was used to evaluate oral health care practices, oral health knowledge, frequency of dental visits and related barriers to access oral health care. An intra-oral examination was conducted to determine the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) using the Ramjford six teeth. Data was analysed in Microsoft Excel and StataCorp using frequencies, means, standard deviations, confidence intervals, Chi-square and Fishers exact tests. Results: The prevalence of gingivitis was 100% and the prevalence of periodontitis was 26.09% amongst hearing impaired adults. The mean gingival index score (GI) was 1.24 (STD±0.49; 95% CI: 1.14-1.35) and the mean plaque index score (PI) was 1.3 (STD±0.5; 95% CI: 1.2-1.4). Periodontitis prevalence was established for those participants presenting with an average clinical attachment loss (CAL) of >3mm and the mean clinical attachment loss was 4.47mm (STD ±1.41; 95% CI: 4.18-4.76mm) for those presenting with evidence of periodontitis. Age was statistically significant (p<0.05). Prevalence of periodontitis was evident amongst participants over the age of 35 years with a mean age of 48years (STD±13). Oral health care showed a lack of the use of dental floss and regular dental visits. Access to dental care was compromised primarily due to communication barriers, dental fear and a low priority of oral health. Conclusion: The necessity of oral health care and oral health knowledge in hearing impaired adults such as education and motivation for the need of dental flossing, the use of fluoridated toothpastes and the benefits of regular dental visits, must be emphasized. Oral health care workers should strive to intensify… Advisors/Committee Members: Chetty, M (advisor).

▼ Decades of research has established an inverse association between socioeconomic position and psychological distress. Within medical sociology, the stress process model represents a dominant framework for investigating mechanisms that generate emotional inequality. Central to the stress process perspective is the observation that exposure to social stress is fundamentally rooted in social statuses and the social roles individuals occupy in their daily lives. Historically, research guided by the stress process paradigm has demonstrated that disparities in psychological distress arise to a substantial degree from inequalities in stress exposure—individuals placed lower in the socioeconomic hierarchy, for instance, are exposed to higher levels of cumulative and operant life stress, and this translates into mental health disadvantages. This dissertation moves beyond existing research by identifying circumstances under which socioeconomic patterns in mental health do not conform to what is commonly predicted by traditional hypotheses, and also provides theoretical insights and empirical evidence about the dynamics that generate pockets of complexity in social stress research. Three major findings emerge. First, I present evidence that time-stable differences between individuals introduce a nontrivial amount of spuriousness in the association between income-related variables and mental health. This raises questions about the independent effect of current income dynamics over and above, for example, the array of disadvantages that individuals may face at more distal stages in the life course. Second, I demonstrate the ways that SES modifies the concurrent experience of job stressors and resources. My findings highlight conditions under which lower status workers are shielded from the effects of stressors, but also the ways that resources may actually leave higher status individuals more vulnerable to the effects of stress exposure. Third, I identify a subgroup of professionals for which a status-health paradox is observed—higher status workers experience poorer mental health relative to their lower status peers—and this can be explained by the stressors of higher status in this particular profession. Each study can be considered an independent project, but taken together they represent an overarching contribution to sociological understandings of the interplay between SES, stress exposure, and mental health.

▼ Background: International travellers are exposed to various risks before, during or after travel and many travellers, apart from being at risk of infection from their new destinations also tend to transmit infection from one country to another. Travellers intending to visit a destination are expected to consult a travel medicine clinic or medical practitioner at least 4–8 weeks before the journey for health risk assessment and to update pre-travel vaccinations. Studies have shown that travellers may not seek health advice before travelling and some of them have refused one or more recommended vaccinations for various reasons. Objective: This study assessed the awareness and practice of pre-travel health consultation and vaccination and associated factors among international travellers departing from Ethiopia through the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was used and the total sample size was 670. A stratified sampling technique was used to ensure representativeness of travellers and travel destinations. The study took four (4) weeks to complete. Pre-travel health consultation and vaccination practices were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire distributed at the departure lounges of the airport. Binary logistic regression test was used to identify significant factors (at p value <0.05) associated with pre-travel vaccination status and multivariable logistic regression was used in fitting the best model. The results were presented in tables (at 95% confidence interval level) and charts as appropriate. Result: A total of 639 questionnaires were analysed giving a response rate of 95.4%. The median age of study participants was 34 years (IQR 28-41). Three hundred and sixty nine (57.7%) travellers were aware about pre-travel health consultation and among these travellers, 215 (33.6%) took pre-travel health consultation before coming to Ethiopia. Also of the total study participants, 580 (90.8%) were aware of pre-travel vaccination out of which 531 (83.1%) took pre-travel vaccinations. The vaccination rate of the three recommended vaccines for all travellers were yellow fever (72.5%), DPT (21.4%) and Influenza (10.8%). Age, marital status, religion, country of residence, awareness about and practice of pre-travel health consultation, and traveller having had their vaccination cards checked in previous trips amongst others were independently associated with vaccination status. After controlling for the effect of other variables; marital status, religion and having had vaccination cards checked in previous trips were associated with vaccination status with p-value of 0.035, <0.001 and 0.002. Conclusion: This study revealed that the level of uptake of recommended vaccinations for all travellers especially DPT and Influenza is low. As less than one-third of travellers had their vaccination cards checked at arrival in Ethiopia, it is pertinent for border health staff to gear up vaccination card inspection at the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.

▼ Socioeconomic status has been shown to be an important determinant of physical activity levels in adults. On average, low socioeconomic status populations are reported to be less physically active compared to more affluent members of society. In addition to a lack of effective physical activity interventions targeting low socioeconomic status populations, no studies in this population have applied the self-regulation strategy, mental contrasting with implementation intentions, which has been to increase physical activity levels in the general population. This Masters thesis sought to investigate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in low socioeconomic status adults with a focus on self-regulation and physical activity monitors.In the first study, a systematic review was conducted to assess the effectiveness of pedometer- or accelerometer- based interventions aimed at increasing physical activity in low socioeconomic status adults. After screening and verification, a total of three studies were included. Due to the low number of studies included in this review and the multicomponent nature of the three interventions, it was impossible to attribute any changes in physical activity to pedometers or accelerometers alone. In the second study, a 12-week pilot randomised controlled trial was used to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of the self-regulation strategy, mental contrasting with implementation intentions, in inactive low socioeconomic adults. Thirty-two participants were randomised to either a mental contrasting with implementation intentions intervention condition or a control condition. The main outcome measures were (i) recruitment and retention rates, (ii) self-reported minutes of physical activity per week and, (iii) combined weekly accelerometer plus diary-reported physical activity. Participants in the mental contrasting with implementation intentions condition and control condition both significantly increased self-reported physical activity after 12-weeks. No significant between-group differences were seen at 12-weeks. This pilot randomised controlled trial demonstrated that it is feasible to conduct a physical activity intervention in low socioeconomic adults that applies mental contrasting with implementation intentions. Findings from the pilot study suggest that a mental contrasting with implementation intentions intervention can increase physical activity levels in a low socioeconomic status sample. The small sample size made it difficult to reach firm conclusions regarding the strategy’s effectiveness. More research is needed to provide further insight into the strategy’s effectiveness in this population.The implications of the two studies contained within the current thesis are that both accelerometer and mental contrasting with implementation intention interventions hold promise for increasing physical activity levels in low SES populations - either together or separately. Moreover, interventions set within behaviour-change frameworks in low SES groups… Advisors/Committee Members: Reynolds, Rebecca, Public Health & Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, UNSW, Rawstorne, Patrick, Public Health & Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, UNSW, de Wit, John, Centre for Social Research in Health, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, UNSW.

Bakgrund: Sju till 20 % av den svenska befolkningen har omfattande benförlust och 40 % har kronisk parodontit. Gingivit och viss förlust av tändernas stödjevävnader ses hos nästan alla vuxna. Syfte: Syftet med journalstudien var att beskriva parodontalt status hos patienter som undersökts av tandhygieniststuderande på tandhygienistprogrammet, Högskolan Kristianstad. Metod: En empirisk studie med kvantitativ metod har använts. Data från 103 patientjournaler har sammanställts. Resultat: Resultatet baseras på patienter med en ålder mellan 21-83 år. På patientnivå var medelvärdet för antal tänder 26,2, plackindex 45,7 % och blödningsindex 23,6 %. Tandköttsfickor 5-6 mm var vanligast vid tänderna 48 (13 %) och 38 (11,4 %). Tandköttsfickor >6 mm förekom vanligast vid tänderna 38 (2,3 %) och 26 (2 %). Slutsats: Medelvärdet för plackindex ligger mycket högt (45,7 %) och står inte i proportion till blödningsindex (23,6 %). Tandköttsfickor >6 mm var sällsynt och var vanligast förekommande vid molarer. Tandköttsfickorna tenderade att vara djupare posteriort i munnen och hos äldre individer.

Background: Seven to 20 % of the Swedish population have extensive bone loss and 40 % have chronic periodontitis. Gingivitis and some loss of tooth supporting tissues are seen with almost all adults. Aim: The aim of the journal study was to describe periodontal status in patients who were examined by dental hygiene students at the Dental Hygienist Programme at the University of Kristianstad. Method: An empirical study was done using a quantitative method. Data from 103 patient records were compiled. Result: The result is based on patients between the ages of 21-83. At the patient level, the mean value of teeth was 26,2, plaque index 45,7 % and bleeding index 23,6 %. Periodontal pockets 5-6 mm were most common in the teeth 48 (13 %) and 38 (11,4 %). Periodontal pockets >6 mm were most common in the teeth 38 (2,3 %) and 26 (2 %). Conclusion: The mean plaque index is very high (45,7 %) and is not in proportion to the bleeding index (23,6 %). Periodontal pockets >6 mm were rare and most common at molars. Gingival pockets tended to be deeper posterior in the mouth and in older individuals.

Медицина - Јавно здравље / Medicine - Public Health

Стање здравља адолесцената у Републици Србији не разликује се значајно у односу на здравље адолесцената у свету, али постоје, ипак, одређене специфичности, које су условљене друштвеним, политичким и економским променама последњих тридесет година. Циљ ове дисертације, био је да се испита повезаност демографских карактеристика и социјално-економских одредница са показатељима здравственог стања и понашања у вези са здрављем адолесцената у 2013. години и да се изврши анализа и поређење неједнакости у здрављу у 2000. 2006. и 2013. години. Метод: У овом истраживању спроведена је секундарна анализа података из три национална испитивања здравственог стања становника Републике Србије, спроведених 2000., 2006. и 2013. године, по типу студије пресека, на репрезентативном узорку адолесцената старости 10 до 19 година (1421 у првом, 2194 у другом и 1693 у трећем испитивању). Упитници су коришћени као инструмент истраживања. Резултати: Младићи (OR=3.474) имају већу шансу да се ризично понашају и имају лошије здравствено стање за разлику од девојака (OR=.273) које се чешће протективно понашају. Што су адолесценти старији имају веће шансе да се протективно (OR=.832) и ризично понашају (OR=.527), за разлику од млађих адолесцената који имају лошије здравствено стање. Адолесценти који живе у најбогатијим домаћинствима (OR=.405) и домаћинствима средњег квинтила благостања (OR=.514) имају већи шансу да се протективно понашају, док адолесценти из урбане средине (OR=.543) и они који живе у југоисточној и источној Србији (OR=2.328), имају већу шансу да се ризично понашају. Када се анализира образовање родитеља, уочава се да адолесценти чији очеви имају виши ниво образовања (B =-1.968) имају веће шансе да се протективно понашају, док они чије мајке имају нижи ниво образовања (B=3.209) имају већу шансу да се ризично понашају...

▼ This dissertation contributes to literature in three areas of child and adolescent health and economic wellbeing. All three chapters use data from the Young Lives Study of International Child Poverty, a longitudinal study of two age cohorts (1-year olds and 8-year olds) that began in 2002 in Ethiopia, Andhra Pradesh state in India, Peru, and Vietnam. The first chapter evaluates children's height trajectories in rural and urban areas. I find these trajectories are largely parallel, with urban children on average significantly taller than their rural counterparts. Observable characteristics such as mother's education and epidemiological environment explain these differentials in most cases. Where unexplained variation remains, I find that rural-urban differentials in birthweight suggest that very early endowments - such as a mother's nutritional intake during pregnancy - may play an important role in explaining "residual" rural-urban height inequalities. In the second chapter, I evaluate another metric of health: self-reported health (SRH). Very little is known about this measure in young people and in low resource settings. I find that adolescent SRH and a parent's report of the child's health are both reasonably well associated with a variety of physical health indicators. This second chapter provides some encouraging evidence for the validity of SRH among young people in low resource settings. The third chapter maintains the focus on household survey questions, but shifts substantively to the measurement of economic wellbeing, comparing the two most commonly used measures of socioeconomic status in developing countries: the wealth index and consumption expenditure. Trends over time in these measures have never before been empirically investigated, and I find that the correlation of household rankings produced by the two measures is moderate but highly stable over time. Regression models treating the data as 1) multiple cross-sections, and 2) a panel (using fixed effects) produce different results. These results suggest that the more limited variability of the wealth index may reduce its predictive capability in some specifications. The findings of this dissertation are intended to inform policy and public health practice as well as survey methodology in low resource settings.
