The next section focuses on health disparities such as culturally appropriate care, health equity, international considerations and food insecurity. The following section specifically addresses eating disorders ranging from anorexia and bulimia to binge eating. Finally, the last section covers additional health considerations such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, teen pregnancy, substance use and gender non-conforming youth.

Download or read book Multipurpose Prevention Technologies for HIV STIs Pregnancies written by Barbara Friedland and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, women of reproductive age face two overlapping issues that have a significant impact on their health and well-being: unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. A growing body of research indicates that the majority of women across geographies, ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds would prefer a multipurpose prevention technology (MPT) that combines protection against pregnancy and HIV/STIs versus individual products for contraception and disease prevention. Currently, male and female condoms are the only available MPTs. A wider range of MPT options will help women select methods that they are less apt to discontinue, as well as increase uptake by first-time users. A number of MPT candidates – intravaginal rings (IVRs), oral tablets, vaginal fast dissolving inserts (FDIs), implants, injectables and microarray patches (MAPs) are in various stages of development. The goal of this Research Topic is to invigorate continued development on MPTs by providing the most up-to-date research on specific products in development, identifying research gaps related to the field overall, and prepare for introduction into programs and healthcare systems. Our broad approach will cover formulation science, clinical trials, sociobehavioral research, and implementation science to present the latest thinking in all areas of MPT development from “bench to bedside.”

Download or read book Urban Health and Planning in the 21st Century Bridging Across the Formal and Informal Using an Eco Social Lens written by Ritu Priya and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-22 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern urban planning emerged in response to public health challenges in the post-industrial revolution period in Europe. It has since evolved through the colonial and post-colonial phases of the 19th and 20th centuries with international, national, and local specificities. In the 21st century, human societies are rapidly urbanizing, even in LMICs where half or more of the population still live in rural areas. Therefore public policies that shape the nature of urbanization and urban habitats will become ever more critical to human and planetary health and wellbeing.
