LES RAPPORTS HETEROSEXUELS DEMEURANT LE MODE DE TRANSMISSION DOMINANT, LA LUTTE CONTRE LA MALADIE REPOSE AVANT TOUT SUR UNE ACTION DE PREVENTION VISANT A MODIFIER LES CONDUITES SEXUELLES. SI LE NIVEAU DE CONNAISSANCE CONCERNANT LA MALADIE S'EST, DE FACON GENERALE, TRES NETTEMENT AMELIORE, LES CONDUITES SE MODIFIENT, EN REVANCHE, BEAUCOUP PLUS LENTEMENT, RECHERCHE VISE A ANALYSER, CHEZ DE JEUNES CITADINS IVOIRIENS, LA MANIERE DONT SE CONSTRUISENT LES CONDUITES SEXUELLES ET LE RAPPORT AU RISQUE SIDA, EN LES RESITUANT DANS UN CONTEXTE ELARGI DE CONSTRUCTION DE VIE QUOTIDIENNE, DE PROJET DE VIE ET DE MOBILITE. LA METHODE EMPLOYEE REPOSE SUR UNE DEMARCHE PAR PALIERS SUCCESSIFS. ELLE PART D'UNE APPROCHE D'ENSEMBLE DE LA VILLE POUR SE CONCENTRER PROGRESSIVEMENT SUR LES FORMES DE SOCIABILITE DES JEUNES URBAINS, PUIS SUR LES CONDITIONS CONCRETES DANS LESQUELLES ILS GERENT INDIVIDUELLEMENT LES MULTIPLES RISQUES AUXQUELS ILS SONT CONFRONTES AU JOUR LE JOUR. LA NOTION DE SITUATION DE VIE EST ICI CENTRALE : COMBINANT LES CONDITIONS DE VIE MATERIELLE ET SOCIALE DANS LESQUELLES SE TROUVE LE SUJET AVEC L'INTERPRETATION ET LA REAPPROPRIATION QU'IL EN FAIT EN FONCTION DE SON PROJET DE VIE . LA SECONDE PARTIE TRAITE DE LA FACON DONT LES CONDUITES SEXUELLES DES JEUNES, LEUR PERCEPTION ET LEUR GESTION DU RISQUE SIDA S'INSCRIVENT DANS UN PROCESSUS DE CONSTRUCTION DE RAPPORTS ENTRE SEXES, C'EST-A-DIRE DANS CELUI, PLUS LARGE DE LA FORMATION DES RAPPORTS SOCIAUX. LA TROISIEME PARTIE ANALYSE, A PARTIR DE L'ETUDE DE CAS INDIVIDUELS, LA MANIERE DONT S'ARTICULENT, EN FONCTION DE SITUATIONS DE VIE PARTICULIERES, LA GESTION DES RISQUES GENERAUX ET LA CONDUITE DES RELATIONS ENTRE LES SEXES. ON CONSTATE QUE LA PERCEPTION ET LA PRISE EN COMPTE DU RISQUE DE CONTAMINATION PAR LE VIH/SIDA NE PEUVENT ETRE ISOLEES DE CE CONTEXTE ELARGI, AU SEIN DUQUEL CE RISQUE EST GENERALEMENT LOIN D'APPARAITRE COMME PRIORITAIRE.
Download or read book Comportements sexuels risque au temps du VIH Sida written by Elise Amoin Kacou and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La prévalence du VIH/Sida en Côte d'Ivoire reste encore aujourd'hui très élevée au regard des niveaux observés dans la sous-région ouest africaine. Un grand nombre des nouvelles infections à VIH se produit chez les jeunes de 15 à 24 ans. C'est également dans cette tranche d'âge que réside l'espoir d'inverser le cours de cette épidémie. Cette thèse se propose de questionner les comportements sexuels à risque parmi les jeunes dans un contexte social et économique en pleine mutation. L'objectif est d'appréhender les facteurs explicatifs de l'évolution des comportements sexuels à risque. Les données utilisées proviennent de cinq sources complémentaires : les enquêtes démographiques et de santé de 1998 et 2012, l'enquête sur les indicateurs du Sida de 2005, l'enquête quantitative sur le contexte de la sexualité des jeunes organisée dans le cadre du West Africa Agricultural Productivity Program (WAAPP) en 2015 et une enquête qualitative que nous avons menée en 2015 dans la ville d'Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). Les résultats mettent au jour une non observance des normes traditionnelles en matière de sexualité en Afrique. Du fait de la modernisation, ces normes de comportements sexuels sont incontestablement en évolution. Les rapports sexuels prônés, autrefois, exclusivement dans le cadre du mariage, notamment chez les filles tendent à s'estomper avec une proportion croissante de jeunes qui s'engage dans une sexualité prémaritale. L'affaiblissement des modes traditionnels de contrôle social, l'émancipation hâtive des jeunes de leur famille ainsi que le recul de l'implication des membres de la famille élargie dans la socialisation ont pour conséquence une sexualité à haut risque d'IST, notamment le VIH/Sida. De plus, cette sexualité des jeunes célibataires intervient souvent à un âge précoce où leur immaturité physique et leur manque d'informations approfondies sur le Sida les exposent à plus de risques. Cette étude montre que le calendrier de l'initiation sexuelle prémaritale conditionne le recours ou non au préservatif. Ainsi, les jeunes qui commencent leur vie sexuelle de façon précoce sont plus enclins à ne pas recourir au préservatif au moment de cette occurrence. En s'intéressant au multipartenariat sexuel, les résultats montrent que l'adoption d'un tel comportement émane de décisions individuelles influencées surtout par l'environnement familial et le contexte socio-économique. L'analyse compréhensive du multipartenariat à travers le discours des participants met en lumière des aspects insuffisamment pris en compte dans les enquêtes quantitatives standardisées. Il ressort en autres que la désarticulation de la socialisation ou la rupture des liens sociaux et affectifs sont influents sur le recours aux partenaires multiples. Enfin, on note que les pratiques préventives chez les jeunes ont connu des progrès notables entre 1998 et 2012 mettant ainsi en évidence l'efficacité des stratégies de prévention en l'occurrence la sensibilisation, l'accessibilité aux préservatifs. Du point de vue programmatique, ce résultat est plutôt encourageant car il prouve que la lutte contre le Sida progresse légèrement dans le pays. En revanche, entre 2005-2012, la proportion des jeunes n'ayant pas fait usage de préservatifs est restée stable. Comme les jeunes résidant en ville et les plus instruits ont davantage contribué au maintien des comportements à risque, il s'avère nécessaire de redéfinir les objectifs et reformer les programmes des préventions des IST en Côte d'Ivoire.

Download or read book Ecohealth Research in Practice written by Dominique F. Charron and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about doing innovative research to achieve sustainable and equitable change in people’s health and well-being through improved interactions with the environment. It presents experiences from the field of ecosystem approaches to health (or ecohealth research) and some insights and lessons learned. It builds on previous literature, notably Forget (1997), Forget and Lebel (2001), Lebel (2003), and Waltner-Toews et al. (2008). Through case-studies and other contributions by researchers supported by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the book presents evidence of real changes in conditions of people, their health, and the ecosystems that support them. These changes were derived from applications of an ecosystem approach to health in developing regions of the world. The book also illustrates the resulting body of applied, participatory, and action research that improved health and environmental management in developing countries and, in many cases, influenced policies and practices.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of science do we need today and tomorrow? In a game that knows no boundaries, a game that contaminates science, democracy and the market economy, how can we distinguish true needs from simple of fashion? How can we distinguish between necessity and fancy? whims How can we differentiate conviction from opinion? What is the meaning of this all? Where is the civilizing project? Where is the universal outlook of the minds that might be capable of counteracting the global reach of the market? Where is the common ground that links each of us to the other? We need the kind of science that can live up to this need for univer sality, the kind of science that can answer these questions. We need a new kind of knowledge, a new awareness that can bring about the creative destruction of certainties. Old ideas, dogmas, and out-dated paradigms must be destroyed in order to build new knowledge of a type that is more socially robust, more scientifically reliable, stable and above all better able to express our needs, values and dreams. What is more, this new kind of knowledge, which will be challenged in turn by ideas yet to come, will prove its true worth by demonstrating its capacity to dialogue with these ideas and grow with them.

Download or read book Principles for Designing Transdisciplinary Research written by Christian Pohl and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the information or knowledge society, there is a need for transdisciplinary research, i.e. research that deals with complex life-world problems. Transdisciplinary projects aim to come up with practice-oriented solutions that serve what is perceived to be the common good. In order to achieve this, they transcend disciplinary boundaries and include the perspectives of public agencies, the business community and civil society in the research process. This process is therefore particularly challenging for those involved. This book is proposed by the transdisciplinarity-net, which is a project supported by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences. It offers a means of designing transdisciplinary research. The tools presented here help structure the research process, in particular with a view to: o adequately reducing the complexity of a problem field, o taking into account the multiplicity of perspectives, o embedding research into the social context, and o adapting concepts and methods in the course of the research process. This publication shows how these tools can be used in the three phases of a transdisciplinary research process: identifying and structuring the problem, analyzing the problem and bringing results to fruition.
Download or read book Urban Poverty in Developing Countries written by Ranvinder Singh Sandhu and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization got an impetus during 1980s and 1990s due to advances in transportation and telecommunicationand further momentum was provided by globalization. During this period many Asian Countries experienced both economic boom and population increase. UN HABITAT (2006) pointed out that Asia and Africa will host largest urban population in 21st century and cities will continue to be sites of extreme inequality. It is feared that Asian cities may not be able to cope with the ongoing urbanization and urbanization of poverty further adds to the challenges. This edited volume addresses to the challenges thrown by urban poverty for sustainable cities in developing countries and also presents some strategies adopted in these countries to deal with these challenges. The volume contains seventeen articles which are divided into three sections. Section-1, entitled 'Urban Poverty in Developing Countries: Some Issues', contains five articles dealing with urban poverty and delineates certain issues related to it. Section-II, entitled 'Urban Poverty in India: Empirical Reality', contains five articles which present the empirical situation of urban poverty in India. Section-III, entitled 'Urban poverty and Strategies for Sustainable Cities', anthologizes seven articles dealing with some strategies to grapple with the problem of urban poverty in developing countries and the outcome of these efforts. All these efforts to achieve sustainable cities are not producing desired results. Cities cannot be sustainable if rural areas, neighborhoods and communities are not sustainable. So focus must shift to these settlements as well.

Download or read book Manual of Epidemiology for District Health Management written by J. P. Vaughan and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide to the use of epidemiology as a tool for improving the management of health services. Addressed to general health workers, the book uses clear definitions, analogies, examples, checklists, sample forms and calculations, and abundant illustrations to demystify the methods of epidemiology and show how they can work in concrete situations. Particular emphasis is placed on the simple knowledge and skills needed to collect and then use epidemiological data to monitor health problems commonly found in developing countries. The book shows how a four-phase epidemiological approach, involving descriptive, analytical, intervention, and evaluation epidemiology, can supply virtually all the information needed to pinpoint health problems, design targeted interventions, and define reliable indicators for monitoring progress. Other chapters offer guidance in the collection of demographic data, the conduct of routine health surveillance, the use of epidemiology to control an epidemic, and the design of special surveys to collect additional information. The second half of the book concentrates on the analysis, presentation, and use of results. Topics covered include the use of record forms and coding, methods of data processing and analysis, and the presentation of health information in tables, figures, graphs, diagrams, charts, and maps. The final chapter, which constitutes the core of the manual, shows how the knowledge and skills previously described can be used to formulate plans for the management and monitoring of district health services. "... admirable ... basic epidemiological techniques are precisely described ... deserves to be a standard text in the district..." - The Lancet
