Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Introduces the concept of food-based dietary guidelines as a powerful new tool for addressing the changing nutrition needs of Western Pacific countries. Food-based dietary guidelines, which emphasize specific foods dishes and local cuisines rather than nutrients or food groups, are considered an especially promising tool for the development of culturally sensitive dietary advice easily understood by consumers. The book which gives particular attention to diet-related chronic diseases is issued at a time when Western Pacific countries are experiencing dramatic urbanization, population ageing, changing lifestyles, and a corresponding upsurge in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic diseases. The book has four sections. The first introduces the concept and principles of food-based dietary guidelines and explains how they differ from traditional dietary recommendations. Section two profiles health and nutritional needs using illustrative examples taken from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Pacific islands, Philippines, Republic of Korea, and Viet Nam. A general discussion of sociocultural issues that affect dietary patterns is followed by an explanation of the ways that food-based dietary guidelines can contribute to food safety and food security. The remaining sections alert readers to the possible negative effects of dietary recommendations on agriculture and the environment and set out guidelines for developing and implementing culturally sensitive dietary advice.

The main purpose of this manual is to raise awareness of the sorts of technical, operational, and financial resources that would be required to reduce and eventually eliminate malaria, the timelines over which such reductions are likely to be achieved, and how they can be sustained. This knowledge is essential in order to plan strategically for long-term success. More detailed, context-specific planning will be an important next step after working through the general approach set out in the document. This document aims to assist malaria programmes in evaluating whether elimination, or other reductions in malaria, represents a feasible and appropriate goal in a defined area, based on careful consideration of what reductions in transmission are likely to occur given the intrinsic malaria burden, the levels of programme coverage that can be reached, and the financial investment available Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks have a great impact on the wellbeing of those affected by the disease, their family and community members and the health workers engaged in treating people with Ebola. This guide covers psychological first aid which involves humane, supportive and practical help to fellow human beings suffering serious crisis events. It is written for people who can help others who have experienced an extremely distressing event. This guide is an adaptation of the Psychological first aid: Guide for field workers (World Health Organization, War Trauma Foundation, World Vision International, 2011), that includes relevant modifications and adaptations to better respond to the specifics of the Ebola disease outbreak. Ebola poses specific problems for affected people (e.g., stigmatization, isolation, fear, and possible abandonment) and responders (e.g., safety, access to updated information). Psychological first aid has been recommended by many expert groups, including the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) and the Sphere Project. In 2009, the World Health Organization?s(WHO) mhGAP Guidelines Development Group evaluated the evidence for psychological first aid and psychological debriefing. They concluded that psychological first aid, rather than psychological debriefing, should be offered to people in severe distress after being recently exposed to a traumatic event. Endorsed by many international agencies, the original Psychological First Aid Guide reflects the emerging science and international consensus on how to support people in the immediate aftermath of extremely stressful events.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. One of two spiral-bound manuals which provide a practical training module covering virtually all field techniques needed for the collection and transportation of mosquitos as part of a malaria control programme. The manuals, which can be used to train health workers having no previous experience in entomology or malaria control, are intended to form the backbone of a training programme lasting from three to four weeks. The first manual, which is addressed to learners, provides step-by-step instructions in the field work needed to secure comprehensive information about the mosquito population in a given area. Information is presented in a series of 13 illustrated learning units, moving from the simplest collecting techniques that can be practised in the laboratory to more sophisticated procedures that must be undertaken in the field. Techniques covered include hand collection methods, indoor collection after pyrethrin spraying, direct catches of mosquitos from animal and human bait, and collection of larvae and pupae from breeding sites. To help build competence, learning units deal with the theory underlying each task as well as with the practical skills required.Other units help readers learn how to identify species at all stages of the life-cycle, keep accurate records, and preserve and transport specimens under strictly controlled conditions. The need to gain the cooperation of the community is also thoroughly explained. The second manual, addressed to tutors, offers practical advice on the organization and running of training courses. Like the first manual, the Tutor's Guide is divided into a series of learning units, each with clearly specified learning objectives. Information is provided on the equipment needed for teaching a particular topic or demonstrating a particular technique, and on any support services that may be required. Each unit offers guidance on appropriate teaching methods, with more detailed suggestions supplied in an annex. The manual also reproduces model forms for appraising the performance of individual tasks and provides advice on how to give participants feedback on their progress. The manual concludes with a model questionnaire that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the course. A manual, which is addressed to tutors, providing a practical training module covering most field techniques needed for the collection and transportation of mosquitos, as part of a malaria control programme. It can be used to train health workers having no previous experience in this field. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
