Book excerpt: This report contains the findings of the 1991 Belize Family Health Survey, which examined the following: fertility; attitudes towards childbearing;knowledge, use and source of contraception; unmet need for family planning services; use of and potential demand for surgical contraception; use of maternal and child health services; breastfeeding and weaning practices; immunization levels; child mortality and morbidity; and knowledge of AIDS. From January 15-February 19, 1991, the Ministry of Finance's Central Statistical Office surveyed 2656 women 15-44 years of age. Total fertility rate (TFR) measured 4.5. Among women of high socioeconomic status, TFR measured 2.7, compared to 6.7 among low socioeconomic status women. Ideal family size was estimated at 3.4 children. 95% of those women surveyed had knowledge of contraception, while 47% of women in a union reported using contraception at the time of the survey. Female sterilization accounted for 40% of all contraceptive use. 95% of the women reported receiving prenatal care, but only 40% indicated receiving a postpartum checkup. 90% of children under 24 months had been breastfed; the mean duration of breastfeeding was 12 months. Overall vaccination coverage for children 9-59 months of age was 75%, but only 47% of children had been completely immunized before their first birthday. Infant mortality was estimated at 42 deaths/1000 live births. 97% of the women reported having heard of AIDS. And while 90% of the women knew of the modes of transmission, only 2% of the women who believed themselves to be at risk of contracting AIDS were found to be using condoms properly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to understand the local realities of health and development initiatives undertaken to reduce maternal and infant mortality, the author accompanied rural health nurses as they traveled to villages accessible only by foot over waterlogged terrain to set up mobile prenatal and well-child clinics. Through sustained interactions with pregnant women, midwives, traditional birth attendants, and bush doctors, Maraesa encountered reproductive beliefs and practices ranging from obeah pregnancy to 'nointing that compete with global health care workers' directives about risk, prenatal care, and hospital versus home birth. Fear and shame are prominent affective tropes that Maraesa uses to understand women's attitudes toward reproduction that are at times contrary to development discourse but that make sense in the lived experiences of the women of southern Belize.

Download or read book Intimate Partner Violence and Advocate Response written by Melissa Beske and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate Partner Violence and Advocate Response: Redefining Love in Western Belize offers new insight into the cross-cultural analysis of gender-based intimate partner violence by blending activist anthropology with in-depth ethnographic research to evaluate and help ameliorate the crisis in Belize. Drawing from twenty months of fieldwork in the Belizean Cayo District conducted between 2002 and 2013, Melissa A. Beske investigates the prevalence and complexity of partner abuse, the contributing cultural and structural factors, and the advocate dynamics across local, national, and transnational frameworks in combating the problem. Combining enlivened narratives, comparative viewpoints, and scholar-activism, this book not only illustrates the lived suffering of partner abuse in Cayo, but it also engages with the passionate commitment of survivors and supporters as they endeavor to create a more equitable and peaceful community. In doing so, it demonstrates an effective strategy for the interdisciplinary assessment of gender-based abuse, which satisfies demands for theoretical impartiality while simultaneously enabling researchers to take an ethical stand in social causes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maternal and Child Health (MCH) continues to be one of the most important fields of study for improving the health of populations across the globe. Two the 10 Millennium Development Goals strive specifically to improve maternal and child health, and several others, such as gender equality and HIV/AIDS, are critical aspects of Maternal and Child Health. Written for students in public health, medical, and allied health professions, Global Case Studies in Maternal and Child Health brings to life theoretical and conceptual ideas discussed in primary texts, through the analysis of lived stories of maternal and child health programs around the world. Using structured case studies of community-based programs in maternal and child health from around the world, students will be presented with real-life ethical, practical and theoretical challenges that will develop critical and analytical thinking skills and also provide them with practice models that they can use in their future or present work.
