Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an upper-genital tract infection that affects the female reproductive organs. PID is a notifiable disease in Hawaii with legal implications for noncompliance. Previous analyses comparing PID diagnoses in Hawaii's hospitals and the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) PID surveillance data, confirmed underreporting.
The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate PID reporting in Hawaii so that the necessary strategies for PID surveillance improvement can be identified and executed. A survey on PID knowledge, attitudes, diagnosing, and reporting was completed by 486 physicians. In hierarchical regression, those 15-20 years since residency were less likely to report PID than those <15 years since residency, and increased PID diagnosing and reporting knowledge increases the odds of PID reporting by 1.63 times. Findings suggest strategies for targeted education of physicians as well as the need to simplify the reporting process. Increased PID-related communication between HDOH and physicians is essential, and physicians should be provided technical assistance with reporting.
Study 2 assessed the concordance between physician self-disclosed PID reporting data from a survey and actual PID reports from the HDOH PID surveillance system using Cohen's kappa. In analysis I, data were linked by physician name, and there was "slight agreement." In analysis II, linkage was according to physician practice setting, and there was "substantial agreement." It is clear that discordance exists, and further research is needed to address physician, practice setting, and HDOH issues around PID reporting.
The final study aimed to answer, "How do health administrators view the mandated disease reporting system, with a focus on PID reporting?" In this qualitative study, we utilized Situational Analysis and interviewed key administrative stakeholders. After analysis, it was clear that PID is not being reported because people are not aware of the disease and the law. Interviewees stressed the need for communication between all those involved in the reporting process.
The findings from these three studies confirm that: 1) awareness of PID reporting is low among physicians and healthcare administrators; and 2) education about PID and the mandated disease reporting law and process is needed.

▼ The introduction of FMD into the US would have serious economic and societal effects on the livelihoods and sustainability of affected livestock producers. Livestock producers serve as an important line of defense in both detecting an introduction of FMD as well, helping to prevent
disease spread. However, due to the complexity of moral, social, and economic issues surrounding the control of highly contagious diseases, producer cooperation during an outbreak may not be assured. This study was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative analysis of interviews and quantitative analysis of a postal survey, in order to explore the factors likely to influence producer cooperation in FMD detection and control in Texas.
Reporting of cattle with clinical signs of FMD in the absence of an outbreak was related to producers´ beliefs about the consequences of
reporting, beliefs about what other producers would do, trust in agricultural agencies, and their perception of the risk posed by FMD. During a hypothetical outbreak, intentions to report were determined by beliefs about the consequences of
reporting, and perception of the risk posed by FMD. Intentions to gather and hold cattle when requested during an outbreak were determined by beliefs about the consequences of gathering and holding, beliefs about barriers to gathering and holding, trust in other producers, and perception of the risk posed by FMD. Compliance with animal movement restrictions was determined by experiential attitudes, beliefs about the availability of feed, space, and disinfection procedures, beliefs about what other producers would do, and perception of the risk posed by FMD.
Recommendations for improving producer cooperation include targeting specific beliefs in both planning and communication, increasing transparency in the post-
reporting process, planning for and communicating plans for maintaining business continuity in order to better inform risk perception, and partnering with organizations to ensure sustained and meaningful communication that supports trust between producers within the affected agricultural community.

The aim of this study is to critically analyse representations of gender and sex in newspaper reports on HIV and AIDS in the hope of improving messaging around HIV and AIDS. Within the scope of this study observations are made at the conclusion of each case study so as to inform prevention campaigns and media on more appropriate ways of representing gender and sex and HIV and AIDS. These observations serve as guidelines to inform journalists and civil society on how better to message HIV and AIDS and sexuality. Mutual recognition is used as the theoretical standpoint for understanding sexuality by emphasizing the premise of respect for self and other. Mutual recognition is used as the critical lens to rethink gender beyond constructions of masculinity and femininity, race, class and sexuality; looking for the moments and opportunities for recognition between both masculine and feminine subjects as well as for narratives on sameness and difference beyond race, class and sexuality. Mutual recognition is also the way forward for resisting phallogocentrism and shifting representation away from the workings of male hegemony. The theoretical framework used in this study is based on feminist psychoanalysis and feminist media interpretation. Special mention is given to the work of Jessica Benjamin, Donna Haraway and Jane Flax; on account of their reception of Freudian theory of the oedipal complex showing ways of rethinking the oedipal complex and gender differentiation. Foucault’s work on representation shows how we can rethink language to better serve the notion of mutual recognition, placing importance on concepts such as respect, responsibility and caring for self and other in ways that go beyond race/ethnicity, class, sex/gender or sexuality. Eros and thanatos (life and death drives) is nuanced to highlight how jouissance or the ‘little death’ (orgasm) is a way of resolving the tension between these opposing drives by shifting discourse away from sex and taboo or death towards sex and pleasure and thus emphasizing eros and mutual recognition. The study is concluded with a set of guidelines for representing gender and sex in relation to HIV and AIDS. It is significant to note that this is a qualitative study that, which makes use of textual analysis and seeks to offer a measure of transparency and accountability to the interpretation of selected texts.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There are no published studies conducted in Namibia describing the experiences of HIV positive women on HIV disclosure. Exploring and understanding factors affecting disclosure among these women is crucial for health care workers and policy makers to devise ways to increase disclosure rate among women.
The overall aim of the study was to establish factors contributing to HIV non-disclosure to sexual partners among women enrolled on the PMTCT program at Katutura ANC clinic in order to suggest strategies to increase HIV disclosure rate among women in the communities.
The objectives of the study were to identify current level of HIV disclosure among pregnant women, to establish factors contributing to nondisclosure to sexual partners among pregnant women, to determine the proportion of women those have been abused by their sexual partners as a reaction of HIV disclosure and to recommend strategies aimed at increasing HIV disclosure rate among women living with HIV in the communities.
The objectives were met by using a correlational research design with a quantitative approach conducted to collect data from 50 HIV positive pregnant women attending follow-up antenatal care at Katutura Antenatal Care Clinic, Windhoek, Namibia in November 2012.
A self administered questionnaire which primarily consisted of closed ended questions and a limited number of open-ended questions was used to answer the research question.
Ethical approval was sought and obtained from the Ethics Committee of Stellenbosch University. Permission was requested and granted from the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) to conduct the study. Study participants who agreed to take part in the study were also given a consent form to sign.
Quantitative data was analysed with assistance from a statistician. Analysed data were presented by using frequency tables, pie charts and bar graphs. Cross tabulations were also used to analyse the relationship between HIV disclosure and other variables. Qualitative data collected by the use of open ended questions were analysed by using a thematic approach and trends were assessed.
Recommendations were to encourage couples to test together in order to prevent negative outcomes as a result of HIV disclosure to partners. HIV positive women that encounter difficulties in disclosing to partners were encouraged to discuss issues on disclosure to family or community members they trust to assist share their HIV serostatus to their sexual partners. Empowerment of women through education and employment opportunities could also lessen women’s dependence on men for financial support.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT : This work presents a bird's eye view of the current state of South African journalism on
the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Through case studies, examples and in-depth interviews with
experts from science, clinical, health education, communications and journalism
backgrounds, it outlines what South African newspaper journalists are currently doing in
reporting on HIV/AIDS and emphasises the importance of their role in assisting in
combatting this epidemic. It goes on to suggest some potential ideal roles which the
newspaper press in South Africa cculd play in improving the level of knowledge available
on this epidemic, encouraging preventive actions by individuals, and reinforcing other
initiatives through the provision of accurate, well-explained information.
The major findings include: an absence of 'genuine' science
reporting on the epidemic in
South Africa (this is particularly important because a large percentage of the population has
had little exposure to scientific education at school level and therefore inadequate or bad
science
reporting has the potential to do harm); a serious need for journalists and editors to
avoid sensationalism and triviality (particularly the use of sensational headlines); a need for
a more planned, proactive approach to long-term coverage (not merely event and 'crisis'
driven); the need for a comprehensive educational focus targeted at different types of
readers; the need to cater for the information requirements of, as well as incorporate the
'voice' of people living with HIV/AIDS, their families and communities; and, a need for a
mixture of human interest writing along with hard news and factual science
reporting (as
well as a balance between each type of article in publications) to cover the various aspects
of the epidemic.
Suggestions made to bridge the gap between current practice and a more ideal approach
include: a serious need for some form of specialised, ongoing training (formal or informal)
for journalists covering this field; an urgent requirement for sectoral commitment from the
media sector to this unique topic through a comprehensive response which includes
allowances for training and research, workplace policies for employees of media
companies, and the commitment of time and space to science
reporting; the greater
involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS either as writers or as expert consultants to
journalists (and other trained writers); greater involvement of scientists, researchers,
clinicians and health workers (through sponsored science inserts or pages, and regular
science columns); and, the need for social responsibility initiatives within the newspaper
industry towards assisting people living with HIV/AIDS. From their side, AIDS organisations
and experts working in the field need to 'feed' accurate information and give ongoing
feedback to the media in a two-way constructive partnership instead of merely critiquing
the efforts of journalists.
The urgency and tragedy of this epidemic in the African context calls for…

▼ In the last century, our globe has been affected by a number of notable
pandemics. The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 infected one third of the world’s
population and killed an astonishing 50 million people (Fineberg, 2014). Since this
pandemic, the deadliest in recorded history, several other
disease outbreaks have
swept through the world, including “Swine Flu” in 2009, Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, and Ebola in early 2014. The number of people who have
died of flu in the last century exceeds anything else in history (Bunting, 2008). Among
those who became ill or lost their lives during these more recent
disease outbreaks
were a disproportionate number of healthcare providers (Singer et al., 2003). ☐ An essential component of the healthcare system that is expected to be in the
frontlines during public health emergencies is the emergency medical services (EMS).
Yet, this system is exceptionally understudied when it comes to working during
disasters and public health emergencies. This study, therefore, assesses EMS
providers’ views about working during the events such as
disease outbreaks and
explores the factors that may influence their willingness to continue working during
such situations. ☐ This study uses a mixed methods approach, which was implemented in two
phases. In the first phase, interviews were conducted to assess the views of EMS
providers about working during
disease outbreaks, and the factors that may influence
their decision-making related to whether to report to work. ATLAS.ti was used during
analysis to code data and develop themes of study. In the second phase, an online
survey was developed and disseminated using the Qualtrics software to assess the
extent to which EMS providers are willing to work during
disease outbreaks. The
survey is also used to assess how the factors that were explored in the first phase could
influence the decision-making process on
reporting for duty. SPSS was used to
analyze data, create descriptive statistics, and assess for significance. ☐ This project presents interesting findings. The interviews show that while
participants are “excited” to work during natural disasters, they are a little concerned
about working during
disease outbreaks. Yet, their concerns may not prevent them
from fulfilling their work obligations. Family safety, training, resources, and
confidence in their employer are among the most important factors viewed to
influence the decision to come to work during
disease outbreaks. The interviews
showed high confidence in the employer to provide training, resources, and other
measures to keep the providers and their families safe. It seems that the influencing
factors have less of potential effects than expected and reported in prior research
studies. The survey supported the interview findings in some ways, but contradicted
them in others. ☐ This study provides the base upon which EMS, public health, and emergency
management agencies can formulate actions that emerged from the views of EMS

▼ Prediction models are becoming increasingly important in clinical practice. Unfortunately, research on prediction models is often not reproducible and the usefulness of most models in clinical practice is unclear. This is because researchers do not always use the recommended methods for developing or validating a prediction model. Furthermore, often numerous models exist for the same target population or condition. Systematic reviews have therefore become important to appraise and summarize the current evidence on existing prediction models in a specific clinical field. Although ample guidance exists for systematic reviews of interventions and diagnostic tests, guidance for systematic reviews and meta-analyses of prediction models is lacking. In this thesis we present guidance for systematic reviews of prediction models and meta-analysis of their predictive performance. This guidance is subsequently applied in systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the field of cardiovascular
disease (CVD). We showed that there is an overabundance of prediction models for cardiovascular
disease. Most of these models predicted the risk of coronary heart
disease (CHD) or CVD over 10 years and the majority of models consisted of a similar set of core predictors, including age, gender, smoking, diabetes, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol. Substantial heterogeneity in predictor and outcome definitions was observed between models, and important clinical and methodological information, necessary to externally validate the model or even apply it in clinical practice, were often missing. Only one third of the available models was externally validated, and therefore the usefulness in clinical practice of most models remains unclear. We further focused on three often advocated prognostic models (Framingham Wilson, Framingham ATP III, and Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE)) for the prediction of 10-year risk of CHD or CVD and summarized their predictive performance in terms of discrimination and calibration. There was considerable heterogeneity in the predictive performance between studies, likely due to differences in eligibility criteria, and population characteristics. On average, however, all models discriminate comparable well and all models overestimate the 10-year risk of CHD and CVD. One way to improve the predictive performance of available prediction models, is to add new predictors to the model. We showed that adding extra biomarkers to a prognostic model with traditional predictors including age, smoking, and blood pressure, did result in very limited improvement of performance of this model for predicting 10-year risk of CHD. Another problem in the field of prediction model studies, is poor
reporting. We showed that more than half of the items that are considered essential for transparent
reporting of a prediction model in the TRIPOD statement were not or inadequately reported. In the last part, we studied sources of heterogeneity in the predictive performance of prognostic models from various clinical fields. Using a…

▼ A comprehensive geographical study and reporting system is presented. Animal disease data from both Thailand and New Zealand were explored and analysed using spatial analysis methods. The particular technique useddepended on the form of the data, aim of the investigation and the epidemiology of the diseaseof interest. Results and methods from some of these analyses were then included in the development of a simple geographical disease reporting and analysis system for Thailand. A number of methods were used to investigate the presence of temporal clustering, spatial clustering and spatio-temporal clustering of foot and mouth disease (FMD) reporting data in Thailand during January 1995 to May 1997. Temporal clustering in the time series of individual districts and individual provinces was found in many districts and provinces. Some of these provinces also showed the evidence of unimodal patterns. Spatial clustering was detected both at the district and province level. Space-time clustering was found at the district level. An exploratory analytical approach was used to investigate spatial clustering of bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) infection in New Zealand dairy herds. Two spatial clusters of BLV positive herds were detected in the Bay of Plenty area (p =0.001) and in the northern part of the South Island (p =0.082). We recommend that further investigations be conducted to define possible reasons for the presence of these observed clusters. The geographical patterns of FMD were described and risk maps of FMD outbreak occurrence in Thailand were developed using logistic regression and classification tree models (CART). The potential impact of spatial autocorrelation on the logistic regression models was assessed. CART models incorporating cost-sensitivity were constructed to develop sets of decision rules for the likelihood of FMD outbreak occurrence. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to quantify and compare the value of the different models for production of risk maps and to provide a method for decision makers allowing them to optimise sensitivity and specificity of binary decision criteria. A simple geographical disease reporting and analysis system for Thailand was developed using the GIS software ArcView 3.1®, the database management software Microsoft Access 97® and the spatial cluster analysis software SaTScan® version 2.1.3. The programming language AvenueTM which is part of Arc View 3.1 was used bind the different components using a common user interface. The system allows quick and easy production of custom maps for routine reporting as the system is largely automated and requires only basic computer skills from the operator.

▼ The aim of this study was to investigate experiences and perceptions of private ·
medical practitioners about the implementation of the current death notification form
(Bl-1663) in cases of confirmed Aids-related deaths. The study focussed on reporting
patterns by private medical practitioners of the deceased's underlying causes of death
in BI-1663. The study also focussed on the reasons advanced for the reporting
patterns described above.
The research method employed in this study was cross-sectional surveys. Self-administered questionnaires were used to gather the data and the target population
was all private medical practitioners practising within the Mafikeng / Mmabatho area
of the North West Province of South Africa. A response rate of eighty-two and half
per cent (82,50%) was achieved. The data were presented in the form of frequency
tables and pie charts and descriptive statistics was used to analyse it.
The findings of this study revealed that the majority of private medical practitioners
either omitted information that HIV / AIDS was an underlying cause of death or
reported another condition in BI-1663 during notification of confirmed AIDS related
deaths. Reasons advanced for the phenomenon were fears of unauthorised breach of
the deceased's confidential information by unintended parties that often led to
invalidation of the deceased's insurance and funeral benefits, as well as stigmatisation
and social discrimination of relatives the deceased.
The study recommends that third parties (informants) should be relieved of the duties
of conveying the deceased's confidential medical information to the state during death
notification processes. Medical practitioners themselves should submit Part 2 of BI-
1663 that contains the deceased's confidential information directly to Public Health
Officials. The study also recommends that the Department of Health should provide
formal training to the medical practitioners with respect to death certification in order
to enable them to certify causes of deaths in a manner that is useful for
epidemiological analysis and public policy.

Mandatory Disease Notification and Underascertainment: A Geographical Perspective.

▼ Mandatory notification of disease forms the backbone of disease surveillance in New Zealand and overseas. Notification data is used by public health professionals and academics to identify cases requiring public health control, monitor disease incidence and distribution, and in epidemiological research. However, there is emerging evidence that notification rates do not accurately reflect the true extent of notifiable diseases within the community, resulting in the underascertainment of many notifiable cases. While adequate surveillance does not necessarily require that all cases of notifiable disease be captured, the systematic underascertainment of disease can have significant implications for perceived spatial and demographic trends in disease prevalence; potentially threatening the credibility of spatial epidemiological research by under or overestimating the burden of disease in different populations. There is evidence that systematic underascertainment occurs as a result of the differential actions of laboratories and general practitioners. It has also been recognised that that underascertainment can be influenced by a patient's willingness to seek medical attention and participate in laboratory tests. However, few studies have investigated whether these factors systematically influence notification either in New Zealand or overseas. Furthermore, the discipline of health geography has been slow to engage with this topic of public health importance, despite the inherently spatial nature of the processes involved, and the close ties to the geographic literature on health service utilization and healthcare provision. This thesis explores the spatial and temporal variation in notification rates in New Zealand for the period 1997-2005 and the potential relationships between notification rates and different variables. Unlike many underascertainment studies, which have used individual data and capture-recapture methods, data constraints inspired a unique ecological approach to investigating the factors which may be associated with notification in New Zealand. Variables were divided into categories based on Anderson's behavioural model for healthcare utilization and the influence of these variables on notification was determined through multiple regression analyses. The main findings of this research indicate that in New Zealand notification rates have increased during the period 1997-2005 and that there is a north-south gradient in notifications, with substantially lower rates in the North Island than in the South Island. Furthermore, it is also evident that the variables associated with notification vary according to disease, spatial aggregation and spatial scale. Notification rates are significantly associated with a range of predisposing and enabling factors which might influence patient choice to consult for many frequently underascertained diseases. More variation in enteric diseases is explained by the independent variables analysed than the variation in non-enteric diseases.…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This work provides a comprehensive overview of the South African HIV/AIDS epidemic. It
examines the historical and social background of the HIV/AIDS situation and looks at the
importance of the media and science communication in combating the effects of the epidemic
on society. This research explores the different forms of health communication and the varied
benefits of each. Overall, it highlights positive media efforts that have helped redirect the
HIV/AIDS epidemic within the social and political context of the HIV epidemic in South
Africa. The second half of this work covers the challenges experienced in gaining publicsector
antiretroviral treatment and the roles the media have played in informing and
mobilizing society for these efforts. Through a community clinic ethnographic case study this
work explores the current state of treatment clinics, social challenges experienced in the
Usapho Lwethu Clinic of Gugulethu and the future of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South
Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werk verskaf ‘n omvattende oorsig van die Suid-Afrikaanse HIV/VIGS epidemie. Dit
ondersoek die historiese en sosiale agtergrond van die HIV/VIGS toestand en belig die
belangrikheid van media en wetenskaplike kommunikasie in die bestryding van die effek van
hierdie epidemie op die samelewing. Hierdie navorsing verken die verskillende vorms van
gesondheidskommunikasie en die onderskeie voordele van elk. In sy geheel beklemtoon dit
die positiewe pogings van die media wat gehelp het met die herkanalisering van die
HIV/VIGS epidemie binne die sosiale en politieke konteks in Suid-Afrika. Die tweede helfte
van die werk gee 'n oorsig van die rol wat die media speel in die beskikbaarstelling van
inligting en die mobilisasie van die publiek en die stryd rondom die verkryging van
antiretrovirale behandeling vir die algemene publiek. ‘n Etnies-grafiese gevallestudie van ‘n
plaaslike gemeenskapskliniek word gebruik om die huidige toestand in behandelingsklinieke
toe te lig asook die sosiale uitdagings in die Usapho Lwethu Kliniek in Gugulethu en die
toekoms rondom die HIV/VIGS epidemie in Suid-Afrika.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Successful antiretroviral therapy (ART) depends on appropriate use of antiretroviral agents; which ultimately prevents replication of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) thus delaying clinical progression of the disease. This study explored how HIV status disclosure affects adherence to antiretroviral therapy at Mamelodi Hospital, using a convenience sampling method with a sample size of 50 adults above 18 years who were on treatment for a minimum of two years prior to the study.
An interview protocol was used to uncover patients’ demographics, sexual orientation, and HIV status disclosure, adherence to antiretroviral drugs, drug side effects, how often they missed their doses and how HIV status disclosure / non-disclosure affected their adherence to treatment. Patients’ medical records were assessed to validate and correlate the information obtained from the interviews. The scientific test results used were the CD4count and Viral loads which are used to monitor the HIV/AIDS disease progression.
All partakers involved in the study made their HIV status known and reported taking their medicines regularly. The patients’ CD4 count and VL were verified, the CD4 count has shown an upward trend while the VL load showed a downward trend in keeping with patients who are adhering to ART.
The majority of participants (54% or 27 patients) reported they had never skipped taking their medication. The participants also reported they had taken their medicine in front of other people and they constituted 74% (37) of the group. Of this 74%, 78.38% (29 patients) said it was because they had disclosed their status. This observation supports the fact that if you have disclosed your HIV status, you have better chances of adhering to prescribed medication.
Findings from the study at Mamelodi Hospital revealed that for as long as one has disclosed their HIV status, the outcome of treatment adherence will be better. The only shortfall noted was lack of partakers who did not divulge their HIV status thus a comparison could not be done. It was acknowledged that some participants in the study might have reported disclosure of their HIV status to be in good favour of the researcher to create an impression that they are adhering to their medication. The study has confirmed the existence of a relationship between HIV status disclosure and adherence to ART.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suksessvolle antiretrovirale terapie (ART) hang af van die toepaslike gebruik van antiretrovirale middels, wat replikase van die MI-virus verhoed, en dus die kliniese vordering van die siekte vertraag. Hierdie studie het ondersoek hoe die bekendmaking van MIV-status die gehoorsaamheid tot ART beïnvloed het by die Mamelodi Hospitaal. ‘n Gerieflikheid-streekproef met ‘n groote van 50 volwassenes bo 18 jaar is gebruik en die deelnememers moes ten minste vir twee jaar voor die studie reeds op behandeling gewees het.

This thesis explores how six commercial local newspapers based in the towns of
Swellendam, Bredasdorp, Caledon and Gansbaai are reporting on gender and HIV/AIDS
in ways that may help to shift specific attitudes as well as to generate appropriate
community responses. The overall aim of the study is to advance theories around the
location of commercial news media in the development context. It also aims to inform
and empower development workers and activists on the opportunities or pitfalls in
engaging with rural local media to advance their development goals.
In most prior studies into the nature of gender or HIV/AIDS reporting in the media in
South Africa, the focus has been exclusively on mainstream corporate and/or urbanbased
media titles and very little investigation has been done into the performance of small
ruralbased
media. The study employs two methods of data collection namely, a
quantitative content analysis of newspapers and structured interviews with the editors of
the papers, and a sample group of government employees and community activists in the
respective towns.
The structured interviews provide a qualitative dimension to the content analysis, bearing
in mind the dangers of quantifying media content and making isolated judgements on the
actual context of journalistic practice. Through the interviews, the researcher has been
able to explore the extent to which the perceptions of the media editors visavis
a public
interest role with respect to gender and HIV/AIDS actually differs from the quantitative
evidence of their performance and the perceptions of key informants in their
communities.
The findings of the study suggest that local rural media hold out great hope with respect
to the advancement of development communication goals through commercial media
platforms. The editors in the four towns have established organic connections with their
community, albeit tenuous, but which extend into the ranks of development workers in
their towns. The data from the content analysis suggests that women enjoy high visibility
in the pages of their local papers, and they are most likely to be portrayed as positive
achievers than as women encountering violence.
The tenuous nature of the connections between editor and community are most starkly
evident around the issue of HIV/AIDS, with coverage of this being very low despite much
work being undertaken in the community to deal with the pandemic. With respect to the
issue of gender, there was demonstrable evidence from actual examples of content, that
showed on the one hand the capacity to motivate for change in women's lives, but also on
the other hand a danger of reinforcing attitudes that compound women's oppression. The
study offers recommendations to a range of roleplayers to ensure, firstly, the continued
survival of local rural newspapers, and also support in building capacity to see these
papers mature into journalism products that are integrative…

▼ A subnotificaÃÃo de casos de Aids representa um dos principais problemas enfrentados pela vigilÃncia epidemiolÃgica da Aids. Dessa forma este trabalho teve como objetivo, conhecer a subnotificaÃÃo dos casos de Aids em adultos no municÃpio de Fortaleza, nos anos de 2002 e 2003, aplicando o mÃtodo de captura e recaptura. Estimou-se ainda, a subnotificaÃÃo em dois hospitais de referÃncia para Aids, Hospital SÃo Josà â HSJ e Hospital Geral de Fortaleza â HGF. Nesse estudo foram utilizados dados secundÃrios do Sistema de InformaÃÃo de Agravo de NotificaÃÃo â Sinan, Sistema de Controle de Exames Laboratoriais - Siscel e Sistema de InformaÃÃes sobre Mortalidade - SIM, comparando os trÃs sistemas e considerando como notificados os casos confirmados no Sinan. Os casos foram emparelhados no Programa RecLink II. ApÃs o emparelhamento dos casos foram selecionados os elegÃveis para aplicaÃÃo do mÃtodo de captura e recaptura, utilizando os estimadores de Lincoln-Petersen e o de Chapman. A subnotificaÃÃo estimada para Fortaleza foi de 33,1%, e 14,1%, tendo como referÃncia o Sinan e comparando com as fontes Siscel e SIM, respectivamente. Para os hospitais S. Josà e HGF a subnotificaÃÃo foi de 5,4% e 90,5%, na mesma ordem, comparando o Sinan com o Siscel. Este trabalho demonstrou uma elevada subnotificaÃÃo de casos de Aids no municÃpio de Fortaleza nos anos de 2002 e 2003 e que a subnotificaÃÃo quando avaliada por fonte, comparando o Siscel com o Sinan, ela à mais de duas vezes superior à estimada quando comparada à das fontes SIM/Sinan, demonstrando ser o Siscel uma importante fonte de notificaÃÃo de casos de Aids. Quanto à subnotificaÃÃo nas duas unidades de SaÃde, observa-se um percentual bem mais elevado para o HGF. O Programa RecLink II mostrou ser uma opÃÃo simples para o reconhecimento dos casos nÃo notificados no Sinan e em relaÃÃo a tÃcnica de captura e recaptura, pode ser utilizada de forma simples e rÃpida e com baixo custo, comparando os sistemas dois a dois em pesquisas pontuais. Diante dos achados nesse estudo, recomenda-se que o Sinan-Aids seja comparado em periodicidade mensal, com todas as fontes de informaÃÃes disponÃveis que possam contribuir para reduÃÃo da subnotificaÃÃo de Aids
Underreporting is one of the major problems challenging epidemiologic AIDS surveillance. The objective of this study was to estimate the level of underreporting of AIDS in adults in Fortaleza in the period 2002-2003 using the capture-recapture method. In addition, the level of underreporting at two hospitals for AIDS referral (Hospital SÃo Josà â HSJ, and Hospital Geral de Fortaleza â HGF was estimated. The study relied on three secondary databases: SINAN (national disease surveillance), SISCEL (laboratory test control) and SIM (mortality information). The systems were compared and cases confirmed by SINAN were considered as reported. Cases from the two databases were paired using the software RecLink II. Subsequently cases eligible for the capture-recapture method were selected using the Lincoln-Petersen and Chapmam estimators.…
